Beginner Guide

## Welcome to Enhancement Slave RPG!

Welcome to Enhancement Slave RPG, and thank you for using the WIKI! In this "Guide", we're going to go over what you'll be doing in this game, some of the features, and some of the stuff you may or may not be curious about!

Your first tip, will to play in lobbies with 5 or more players! Using the Discord, is an easy way to see when games get hosted. One of the benefits, is you will have the maximum Additional Drop Chance for loot and enhancing! As well as a lower timer for random boxes that spawn in your storage.

## Starting Out

When you hop on in, the first thing you'll be greeted with is the character selection. Right now 15 characters are available, which can be seen on the Heroes page or if you use the Heroes drop down tab (top of website). Take your time and choose, because there is no -Repick option available (unless you're lucky and find the 0.1% job change scroll).

Next thing you will want to pay attention to is your money. It can be found beside your minimap in the bottom left, it is your copper, silver and gold. 1 Billion copper is the equivalent of 1 Silver, and same with Silver to Gold.

So let's start making some. Head south to the Gold Coin and head into the first area. Most areas have 3 versions; 1x, 5x, 20x. Each being harder, but giving more exp, and coins. Try to find the area that best matches your hunting speed. Small mobs wont drop coins 100% of the time after a certain point, so don't panic, that's normal. The small mobs and field bosses also have a chance to drop money bags, worth a whole lot more. You can view a list of details and drops on the Hunting Grounds page.

At this point most people wonder when and how they will get more skills, instead of just their Q or first passive. Skill enhancement tickets drop from summoned monsters (Talked about in the "Your First Boss" section of this guide).

## The Shop

Welcome to the Shop! Let me introduce you to the items, before we talk about them, and what's more beneficial for you.

(1 copper)
	+ ATK +1
* +20 Enhancement
	+ ATK +500
	+ x1 = 21c
	+ x10 = 210c
 Defined Darkness
(500 copper)
	+ ATK +30
* +20 Enhancement
	+ ATK +950
	+ x1 = 66c
	+ x10 = 660c
 Liberation Staff
(5k copper)
	+ ATK +80
* +20 Enhancement
	+ ATK +1600
	+ x1 = 450c
	+ x10 = 4,500c
 Lumen Caligo
(10k copper)
	+ ATK SPD +30%
* +20 Enhancement
	+ ATK SPD +205%
* ATK SPD items do NOT stack
	+ x1 = 3,900c
	+ x10 = 39,000c
 Gigantic Presence Energy Set
(10k copper)
	+ INT +5
	+ Additional Damage +30%
* +20 Enhancement
	+ INT +1000
	+ Additional Damage +30%
* This item must be "Used"
	+ x1 = 3,900c
	+ x10 = 39,000c
	+ x30 = 117,000c

Your first purchase will more than likely be the Rafaros Staff, at that low, low price of 1 Copper. Make sure you only buy one, and I don't recommend enhancing it to more than +10. You'll be able to buy the Defined Darkness right after, and again.. Recommended to not spend the money to go past +10 as well. Finally, you can buy the big boy, the Liberation Staff. This will be your best friend at the beginning. The ideal set up, is to buy 5 of them, and get them to +20.

Your 6th slot item, is hands down going to be the Lumen Caligo. It's your first Attack Speed item, and a must. General rule of thumb is to enhance to anywhere from +10 to +15 (for the 100-150% attack speed bonus). 99% of the time, it is recommend to NEVER buy the Energy Set. Although the INT and Additional Damage seem enticing, they are really not worth it.

Later on, starting in the level 100 area (Otherverse Labour's). You'll get the opportunity to find a new item from golden books (item must be used to acquire new staff). The staff that drops will easily replace your Liberation Staffs, after you get it to +20.

	+ ATK +80
	+ INT + 5
* +20 Enhancement
	+ ATK +1600
	+ INT +1500
	+ x1 = 3,900c
	+ x10 = 39,000c
	+ x30 = 117,000c

## Enhancing

Enhancing is one of the mechanics in this game, for getting stronger. Enhancing can go anywhere from +1 to +20. The +20 enhancement is a completely drastic stat increase, for any item, and a much sought after upgrade. This however can get very pricey, since the odds of success are so low.

To Enhance, just walk into one of the 3 zones on the left side of town. The middle is a x1 enhance. Top is x10, and bottom is x30.

	+ 100% chance
* +3 to +7
	+ 30% chance
* +7 to +10
	+ 12% chance
* +10 to +15
	+ 2.1% chance
* +15 to +20
	+ 0.45% chance

A convenient feature though, is you can send your backpack's thru the enhancement zones, so your hero can keep grinding! Just keep in mind that the enhancement zone will take your cheapest to enhance item first. When holding multiple items to enhance, each bosses items have a different priority to enhance first. So it is best to always use a bag and only have the item you want to currently enhance on it.

## Your Bags and Storage Area

If you've noticed, you have a bag icon on the left side of your screen, indicating you have 4-5 other units to use. These 5 units consist of your Backpack #1, Backpack #2, Boss Summon NPC, Special Equipment Cache, and Avatar Warehouse. They can be found in your "Storage" area of the map (very top).

Your 2 backpacks are the only ones who can leave the area. They have the option to teleport to town, teleport back to storage, or teleport directly to your character. They can pick up, hold, use and enhance items. They're convenient because you can use the skill enhance tickets, money bags, etc with them, instead of dropping items from your hero.

Your Boss Summon NPC, is used to summon bosses in the Boss Zone area. These are how you'll acquire new gear from here on out. Bosses however cost coins to summon, but if you can successfully kill them, you'll receive your coins back, with interest. The drop rates for the bosses are considerably low, so good luck! A list of the bosses can be found on the Bosses, or if you use the "BOSSES" tab at the top of the screen.

	+ Has a cooldown, use at own risk

The Special Equipment Cache, is a unique tool. Starting from the Third Boss Luke, you'll get an item for her. These items have effects that work only from the SE Cache inventory.

Finally you have the Avatar Warehouse, which is available after you reach 1 million INT. It has no use until you can kill the boss Seria Kirmin (1.5M), which requires 1.5 million INT. She has 3 items which will drop, and are usable by the warehouse.

Generally people will like to Quick Select these units (Holding CTRL + # while theyre selected. Then you can press the # again to select them from anywhere)

During your time on, every now and then you'll get random boxes, Snowflake boxes, Event Bundles, etc. These will appear in your storage area usually after a set amount of time, or after people kill the Episode Bosses. With the Random boxes and snowflakes boxes, you have a good chance to get boss summoning tickets (will summon an extra Bernardo and Transcendental Bernardo), you can get job change tickets (Will allow you to change to any other character -except Rakshasa and newest character at the time-.. And after changing you'll KEEP all skill levels, items, INT, and special skills), as well as Elixirs (Increases drop chance and enhancing chance for every player in the lobby for a set time -these do not save on reforged-), and finally you can receive money bags from the random boxes.

## Your First Boss

So you're looking good. You have your Lumen Caligo. You have your Liberation Staffs, maybe even a Reversal Staff or 2.. And you're wondering, where do I go next?? Well it's time to start boss hunting for your next set of gear. So head on back to town (using the home skill, or by typing 1), and head into the Boss Zone (Can teleport there by typing 2).

The first boss you'll be able to summon is Hell Party. Which, if you have +20 staffs, this should be a very easy kill for you. The drop chance on the bosses are low, so you might be here a while if your luck is bad. She has 5 available items, and they'll all mostly give you a huge power boost. All the bosses can be viewed on the Bosses page, or using the drop down tab.

You'll also notice in this summon area, there is a red square with the word OFF or ON, on it. While it's RED (OFF), your boss will drop all of their items. However, you can click this button and change it to GREEN (ON), and now the bosses will only drop their skill enhancement ticket and Talismans (later bosses).

## Skills and Talismans

 It's time to talk about skill enhancing more in-depth. How you'll acquire, how will you level them, etc. This image is what they will look like when you pick them up. They're only available from boss kills, and have a 5% chance of success, to enhance your skill. The nice thing though, is if you get an enhancement scroll for a NEW skill, it's a 100% chance of success to give you that new skill. Skills go up to level 7, and from there can be enhanced further in end-game content, by using Talismans.

Each summoned boss has a chance to drop their own skill enhancement (They all have different prefixes). For example Hell Party, the first boss you will kill, has a chance to drop the skill enhancement for your first skill. But Anton, the second boss, will drop a Strong Skill Enhancement Ticket, for your second skill. The first 7 bosses you can summon each have a skill enhancement scroll to acquire, and I wish you luck in collecting them all.

Later on, after you've reached 100,000 INT and higher, you'll have access to Special Bosses, which can also drop skill tickets. At 100k, you can fight Bernardo (100k), who has a small chance to drop an Abyssal Skill Ticket, which will evolve your Q ability. Then again, you unlock Transcendental Bernardo (500k) at 500,000 INT, who will drop another skill ticket for your W/E (depends on class). These special skill tickets are a 100% success rate, however they're very rare to drop.

Once you're able to start killing Super Fiend War and higher, you'll notice every now and then a talisman will drop. There is 2 kinds, and they both boost different skills. They will also only work while equipped by your Special Equipment Cache.

	+ Special Q skill
	+ R skill
	+ T skillUSED ON SPECIAL EQUIPMENT BAG
	+ Special W skill
	+ D skill
	+ F skillUSED ON SPECIAL EQUIPMENT BAG
	+ Special Q skill
	+ R skill
	+ T skill
* ATK +100,000,000
	+ (at 0 it's +20,000,000)
* INT +10,000,000
	+ (at 0 it's +2,000,000)
* Additional Damage +600%
	+ (at 0 it's +200%)USED ON SPECIAL EQUIPMENT BAG

Bosses that drop the talismans can be found on the Bosses page, and can also be acquired (although very rare) from jars found in the Hunting Grounds. These Talismans will drops at +0 and will need to be enhanced. To enhance them it requires 2 of the same talisman (ex. 2x +0 = +1 ..... 2x +4 = +5). You will then place them into your special storage cache (in storage area) and press the hammer to upgrade them (she can only hold 1 version of the talisman at a time, the rest will drop under her). So all in all to get a +6, it will require 64x +0 talismans.

## Item Stacking; the do's and don'ts

Now that you've been playing for some time, and have collected a variety of items, you're probably wondering what the optimal item set up is.. Well I don't know if there is a proper "optimal" set up. But the majority of people will run 1 of each item type, and 2 items that do 20% x INT damage or 2 crit items (player's choice.

* Chance to Crit Items
	+ The % chance to crit will stack
	+ The xDmg will not
		- If you have 2 items that do x100 damage, all of your crits will only be x100
		- If you have an item that does x100, and one that does x10, you'll notice your attacks will choose one or the other. You'll either crit for x100, or only crit for the measly x10

* 20% chance for INT dmg Items
	+ The % chance will not stack
	+ The damage will stack
		- Use '-check status' to view combined total

* Damage Increase % Items
	+ Items with the same name, will NOT stack
	+ Items with different names BEFORE [[Luke|Rosetta Stone will stack. All items after will not
	+ After the first few bosses, stats will not reflect the item, and will only be viewable with '-check status'

* Skill Damage +% Items
	+ These do not stack

* Attack Speed Items
	+ These do not stack
	+ Attack Speed is capped when you hit 500 AGI, and bosses will stop dropping ATK SPD items

* INT increased by %
	+ These do not stack

Keep these tips in mind when you're looking for items for builds, and coordinate around them

## End Game and INT farming

You've probably made it to Harlem Hunting Grounds at this point, and have conquered Luke and Harlem Hell Party. Now you're wondering, what's next? What's my Goal? Well, it's all an even longer grind now. Starting from the Harlem hunting grounds, and on, you'll start getting INT from killing mobs. This is your main path of growth, while simultaneously collecting new boss items.

Upon hitting certain milestones (100k INT, 500k INT, 2M INT and 5M INT), you'll unlock new bosses that respawn every 18-30 minutes (depending on boss). These special bosses have the opportunity to give you new skill tickets, special items for your Special Equip. Cache, as well as a class weapon. And the 2M INT boss has the opportunity to drop Avatar Warehouse items, as well as a special currency for upgrading.

At this point as well, you'll probably value afk time, and might want some Macros to help you. Head on over to that page, and check out the guide and community added macros to help you!

Also keep in mind your Gold and Lumber (Warcraft resources) at the top. These can help you determine kill speed and the like. For every gold is a minion kill. And every Lumber is a field-boss kill!

I wish you luck on your journey, AFK well, and make the correct decisions. And many prayers for your +20 enhancement attempts.
