The Performer's Life By Conga Lyne
Introduction
Hi, I'm Conga Lyne, a performer main, hopefully this guide will help you along your journey playing the performer classes!
Take note, I haven't achieve complete endgame gears as of writing and will update this guide periodically as I progress.
This guide will also focus on magical dps Performer, specifically the skill Metallic Fury, I will be focusing on the skill as it is spammable, has a large AoE, can be any element and has low entry requirements.
If you need any direct help, you can most likely find me in the #archer channel on discord or as "Conga lyne MtF" ingame, I might take a while to respond so sending an RODex may be more convenient for both of us.
With all that said, let's get into it.
Notice:
This guide is currently work in progress, check back soon for a more complete guide!
Leveling
Going from level 0 to 200 is your first major goal, silver arrows will be the most useful throughout most areas of play.
Something that will help you significantly early on is eden group gear, you can attain eden group equipment by first joining the eden group after talking to Secretary Lime Evenor (moc_para01 27, 35), and then talking to the various equipment masters at (moc_para01 107, 79).
Start from the bottom and work your way towards the top, I recommend gathering the items for Louis's free advanced items, but find it easier to spend 10 eden group coins on Labraham's advanced weapon.
You can use the @wd <item name>, and @wi <monster name> commands to find where to locate the required materials.
You can get normal eden group equipment at any level and advanced eden group equipment at level 100.

If you find someone offering a level 180+ leech and you're level 180 or above, I recommend taking their offer.
When this happens, you want to accept the illusion of underwater board quests in the main office (main_office 123, 36), go to illusion of underwater floor 2 (speak to Jerry in illusion of underwater floor 1), wait until the quest is finished, turn in your quest for exp, and repeat until the leech is finished or you reach your desired level. Remember to change your job at level 200! If they specifically say they're doing einbech 3 instead, then just navigate to einbech 3. (ein_dun02 25, 250) |

(main_office 123, 36) Hunt 240x of any type in Abyss floor 4 (moc_para01 52, 37) |
This is also a convenient way to farm eden coins

Stat Goals
Most classes will need to hit certain amounts of fixed cast time or after cast delay before maximizing their damage, but performers only need 20% After Cast Delay (ACD) to get the most out of their main dps skill Metallic Fury.
Poem of Bragi can provide 30% for free, but is only accessible to male performers.
If you are pursuing the path of being a Trouvere rather than a Troubadour, you will need to find a way to achieve 20% ACD through equipment alone.
New Wave Sunglasses are very useful for giving 10% ACD and an illusion Silver Guard can provide an additional 5% if refined to +10 using Illusion Refinement Boxes.
The remaining after cast delay reduction can be achieve through dim glacier weapons, but can prove to be very expensive to obtain early on.
A cheaper option to consider might be the Sinful accessories as their set bonus provides 5% ACD reduction and do not need to be enchanted to provide this effect.
Combining New Wave Sun Glasses, Sinful Accessories and a +10 Illusion Silver Guard, you can achieve 20% ACD as a trouvere without Poem of Bragi.
After achieving 20% After Cast Delay reduction you're free to pump damage as high as you can, which is exactly what we'll be doing.
