Mid Game is the start where you can finally farm comfortably and considerably well on popular farming maps. You should also be finished with Episode 19 or 20 by this point and you ought to get better gears now such as 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040) . While this shield takes less priority than your other gears, it is fairly cheap to get and enchant. It only costs 100 1001217.png Sacred Cat Whiskers (1001217) to buy one. The same with the enchanting process, it is also affordable. To know more about the enchanting costs, check this page.

Technically, it's not supposed to be your first exposure to Varmundt and its Biospheres since you can access it as early as you gain access to Episode 17.2 but at the current state of your gears at the time you can't farm in those areas just yet. But now that you do, you can now start upgrading your accessories to 490307.png Temple Magic Ring [1] (490307) and 490304.png Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) . You would need to reform two (2) copies of 490301.png Varmundt Temple Rune Ring [1] (490301) first. They give good increase in damage so farm for them as soon as you are able to. For more info on their enchants, check this page. As stated on the table, you need not to aim for the 311943.png Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) and 311942.png Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Normal Type) as it's purely RNG to get them so for now you can just settle for the different racial enchants and focus more on upgrading the 3rd and 4th slot enchants. Now if you're looking for an upgrade for your Convertible Magical Wing, you can start making your own 480233.png Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233) as you farm for your two Varmundt rings as well. Death Rune Manteau needs reforming too just like the rings. The manteau starts to perform slightly better than Convertible Wing at +10~+11 Grade C. For more info on how to enchant your Varmundt Rings and Death Rune Manteau, refer to this page.

★Provided you have completed the Dimensions combo consisting of 400536.png Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Elemental Master) [1] (400536) and 540079.png Dimensions Elemental Magic Book [2] (540079) or 540080.png Dimensions Elemental Spell Book [2] (540080) , you can now fully refine and grade these items. At Grade A, these equipment will unlock your true potential and will allow you to autocast your ultimate skill 5380.png Elemental Buster which will make farming much easier for you.

  • Icewind Card will serve as your general all-purpose card while the rest of the racial cards will be for targeting specific MVPs in instances and for maps where those specific races are abundant or common.

Endgame now finally and this is the last stage of your gear progression but certainly not the last (costumes?). Here, most of the things you will do is going to be min-maxing and striving to get the best possible enchant and upgrade on your gears. Some players settle for the bare minimum and that's fine too if you don't fancy suffering more with RNG, but you're still in endgame. Moreover, this will be the stage where you'll most likely want to buy your own MVP cards either by farming them yourselves from instances or buying them from sellers. The useful MVP cards for EM are listed in the table. I suggest you get them when you have the time and budget for it; EM is an already strong class and these MVP cards scale well with EM's skills.

Gears that are new in this section are the Alice gears 460020.png Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) , 410233.png Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) , and 420213.png Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213) . The Mad Bunny is sought for the utility that it gives. It gives more ASPD and ACD plus 10% resistance against all element. Damage-wise, it didn't perform significantly better than 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040) in my tests, but having more utility is nice to those who prefer it over damage. On the other hand, the middle and lower headgears Gambler's Seal and Ace of Spades are your next new upgrade in those slots. They were upgraded last because they give little improvement in damage as compared to the costs of crafting them and your other core gears.

If you're one of those people who joined the bandwagon and only played EM because of the autocast feature that the Dimensions set gives, well this is now the part (or earlier before now) where you should have a 400536.png Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Elemental Master) [1] (400536) to pair with one of your books. To craft one, you'll need to have access first to Depth Abyss 2. You will need 2,000 Reputation pts. from Varmundt's Biosphere Depth to access this dungeon. More pieces of information regarding the enchanting process on this page. Put as much attention as you can on the Dimensions Rune Crown and Dimensions Book and refine them to +15 if you can because besides allowing you the ability to autocast 5380.png Elemental Buster, these two will also give you Elemental Buster skill modifier. At +15 for both pieces of equipment, it'll be a total of 60% Elemental Buster skill modifier! No other classes besides EM and only EM gets the privilege and the prestige of autocasting their ultimate and on top of that gets skill modifier for it, so make sure to capitalize on that.

Then lastly, you can upgrade your armor to either 450173.png Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) or 450284.png Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) and the endless debate whether to stick to Nebula or Engraved still remains to this day simply because Nebula is a future-proof BiS gear that will complement the Hall of Life (HoL) gears. This is also the reason why people started investing on a 490136.png Spell Signet of Star [1] (490136) as it'll be part of the HoL series. It recently had just gotten its 2nd enchant 313038.png Star Cluster of Intelligence Lv5 (313038) in anticipation for HoL.

On the other hand, Soul Robe for the majority still outperforms Nebula since it gives +15% increased damage against bosses while Nebula does not. However, when you already have too much boss modifier, Nebula starts to perform better according to my tests. A Soul Purification Robe, the Demigod Rune Tablet, 300472.png [MVP] Demigod Lasgand Card (300472) , 2 Varmundt Rings with 311943.png Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) enchant, 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040) with 312095.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) enchant, and a 9134.png White Knight Egg (9134) would give over 163% Boss modifier and at that point you're experiencing diminishing returns, which is why Nebula starts performing better. If you want to know more about diminishing returns, Choi has explained it in-depth in his Guide to Magic.

Shoe +15 [A] 470337.png Dimension World Spell Shoes [1] (470337)

  • Dimension World Spell Shoes will be enchanted with:
    • 2nd slot: 313920.png Dimension World Crystal (Pride) (313920)
    • 3rd slot: Any of the elemental property damage modifiers of your choice.
    • 4th slot: Any of the racial damage modifiers of your choice.
  • Icewind Card will serve as your general all-purpose card while the rest of the racial cards will be for targeting specific MVPs in instances and for maps where those specific races are abundant or common.
  • As part of the newly added Chapter 1 content, Dimension World Spell Shoes will be your absolute endgame boots that will be made at the very last, altogether with your Skill Master Shadow Gears and Demigod Rune Tablet since all the materials needed to craft and enchant the boots will cost you approximately 30 billion zeny or more, depending on the fluctuating market price.
  • Dimension World Spell Shoes will only start outperforming MoC once it's upgraded its 2nd slot enchant to at least 313919.png Frontier Crystal (Pride) 5Lv . Anything below it, MoC will still be slightly stronger. Most players will settle for Level 5 and slowly save up for the last upgrade and this one is probably the most advisable thing to do at the moment.
  • Do not pick 470338.png Dimension World Magic Shoes [1] (470338) over Dimensions World Spell Shoes since all the elements that EM use are not all catered in the former.

Endgame's Part II, aka Absolute Endgame, will be your very last stage of gear progression. This is the part where all your gears has to be refined to +15 to reap the full effects and benefits of your cards and enchants. This is also the part where equipment that will cost you more than 10 billion zeny will be bought and upgraded last. Farming Villa of Deception to get both Freya and Schulang cards to complete your Demigod Rune Tablet and conquering Tower of Trials to obtain the currency to buy yourself the Skill Master Shadow Gears will all be part of this last stage. In other words, this is the stage of min-maxing everything until you wait again for the next big update to come to the server.

The only brand new equipment that got added to this part is the overly expensive 470337.png Dimension World Spell Shoes [1] (470337) . This boots is part of the Chapter 1 content, and you will need to farm two new dungeons, namely Encroached Geffenia and Ruined Valkyrie Realm, and an instance called Recreated Dark Whisper. In Encroached Geffenia, monsters here will drop 1001998.png Frontier Magic Stone (1001998) while monsters at Ruined Valkyrie Realm will drop 1002012.png Chaotic Rune (1002012) . These two items are needed to craft and enchant your Dimension World Shoes. What's good in these dungeons is that they benefit with the party loot drop system exclusive to the server. This means that each loot is rolled individually per member and all members will get what the other person is looting which is why partying up is highly advisable in these dungeons. More mobs killed and ground covered in a party mean more drops so enjoy!

On the other hand, the Recreated Dark Whisper, after a successful clear, will reward you with the 1001972.png Root Gold Coin (1001972) . This currency is used to exchange items to NPC Root Gold Exchanger (ygg_fruit 168, 124) such as 1002007.png Azure Frontier Stone (1002007) , 1002008.png Sunset Frontier Stone (1002008) , 1002009.png Teal Frontier Stone (1002009) , and 1002010.png Pitch Black Frontier Stone (1002010) which will be all needed to upgrade your boots. The NPC will also exchange these gold coins to 1001996.png Mana Ring (1001996) which can be used to get an hour buff that will let you farm the two (2) aforementioned dungeons. If you think and feel farming and completing our Hall of Life equipment is already grindy to the max, you will probably lose all hope and scratch the back of your head out of frustration because this piece of equipment is undeniably costly to craft and fully enchant. But my best advise for you is to take things slowly, do not rush everything, and just progress on your own pace. This content is meant to be completed within a year anyway, and not within a span of a month. Bask in the joy of being in endgame, and do not forget to rest from time to time so as to avoid burning out.
