1.Interface

You get introduced to the basics of the interface at the start of the game.

At the left of the screen you get three options which provide you with all the basic options of the game. Nearly everything will be managed from there.

At the top right of the screen you get the option for channels. This is an important function as I will explain further in this guide.

2.Skills

a.Skill Decks : A skill deck consists of 6 skills of your choice. When you get into a battle you will be provided with three of them at random. Using one will trigger its cast time followed by its cooldown time. After that you will be provided with your next skill and the cycle goes on. Cast time and cooldown time should be kept in mind while building up a deck according to your role.

b.Skill Buildup : Skill buildup means leveling up your skills to do more damage ( other factors affect the damage output as well ). Skills are of seven types, namely, Fire skills, Water skills, Wind Skills, Earth Skills, Dark Skills, Physical Skills and Support Skills. You need respective orbs for the respective skills. You can farm them at daily orb dungeons. Go to Events and select  the difficulty. Drops are fixed. You can get Orbs(S) at beginners difficulty. You get Orbs(M) and Orbs(S) at intermediate difficulty ( drop rate of Orbs(S) is lower than Orbs(M)). You get Orbs(L) and Orbs(M) at Advanced difficulty ( drop rate of Orbs(M) is lower than Orbs(L)). I would recommend changing channels to Solo Mode for farming Orbs. You get special Orbs called Rainbow Orbs as rare drops. They are used for maxing out skills.

Max level for a skill is 100. Fire Orbs are required to level up fire skills and same goes for the other three elements as well. Physical and Dark Skills can be leveled up using Orbs Of None. Support skills cannot be leveled up. Some of the attack skills also come maxed out. You can see their level written in golden color. Their damage output depends on your character build.

3.Weapons

You are provided with a large arsenal of weapons to unlock and choose from. You can choose from the following weapons:

⦁ 1 hand sword

⦁ 2 hand sword

⦁ Dagger

⦁ 1 hand axe

⦁ 2 hand axe

⦁ Staff

⦁ Spear

⦁ Gloves

⦁ Bow

a.Weapon Types : Weapons can be differentiated upon the basis of their rarity and elemental advantage. We will be skipping elemental advantage of weapons for now. I will explain that aspect further in detail. Weapons are of three types based on rarity. They are 2 star(R), 3 star(SR) and 4 star(UR). UR weapons are the most powerful weapons in game and I recommend that you get at least six of them. I will explain ahead how to get them for free !

b.Weapon Enhancement : Weapons can be enhanced, or simply put, leveled up, to increase the damage output and reach the damage limit easily. You need enhancement swords to level up your weapon. You can farm them infinitely at the daily enhancement dungeons. Go to events and choose the difficulty. I recommend beginner and intermediate difficulty for new players. DON'T ENTER ADVANCED+ AT ANY COST. It is only for veteran players.

c. FREE UR weapons : Save up Alchemy stones. You can easily get them by completing daily quests and side quests. Main quests give these stones in a higher quantity. Save up 6000 of them ( believe me, they are really easy to collect ) and buy a UR weapon lotto ticket from the shop. Use that ticket to play lotto for a guaranteed UR weapon. You get a weekly quest of battling 70 monsters and get a weapon lotto tix as a reward. Use that and pray for a UR weapon. Chances are not so high, but they are not too shabby as well. Make sure you open up the free lotto everyday. Dungeon boxes also have a chance of providing you with a UR weapon. Always keep an eye out for event offers. You can get 3+ UR weapons for free in which case you SHOULD thank your lucky stars.

4.Jobs/Classes

I have divided the player base into fours classes. They are Frontline/Tank, Damage Dealer/Hitter, Healing Support and Buff/Debuff Support.

Tank needs to be able to take hits and still survive thus providing Hitter with a free pass for attacking without any worries. Healing support must have healing skills and defensive skills. Buff Support must have buff skills and fast cycle attacks. Debuff support must have debuff skills and fast cycle attacks. Buff/Debuff supports are the crucial members in an area boss battle.

Which job falls into which one of the above classes is not determined by the perks and skills it provides, rather it is decided by the chain of the job. Below I'll provide a list of all the jobs under their assigned class along with their chains.

Note that I won't be talking about Explorer job because it is very weak in any situation thus making it useless pretty much at the starting of the game, as soon as you unlock new jobs. That reminds me, you need to complete Main Story Quest Ch.18 to unlock the side quest/tutorial which shows you how to unlock new jobs and change to them.

Frontline

Knight : Reduce own damage taken from opponent by 3% each time you use the chain. To activate the chain you must use buff skills, even heal works.(wields a Spear)

Paladin : Chain is same as Knight.(wields a 1 hand sword)

Damage Dealer

Warrior : Own physical attack by 2% each time you use the chain. Chain only works while wielding a 2 hand axe/sword. To activate the chain you must use attack skills.(wields a 2 hand axe)

Magic Fencer : Converts 3% of Magical attack to Physical attack each time you use the chain. To activate the chain you must use attack skills.(wields a 2 hand sword)

Magic Fencer is the highest hitting job in game, but the build for a magic fencer is hard to achieve thus making warrior a better choice for beginners. The elemental advantage of weapons come into play here. Let’s say you are fighting against a monster of fire element, in which case you need to attack using water element. To maximize the damage you must equip water element weapon(UR if possible) as main gear and also equip water element weapons in sub gear(rarity doesn’t matter, staff and shield doesn’t count).

Pyromancer : Magical attack increases 5% each time you use the chain. To activate the chain just target an enemy and don't do anything.(wields a 1 hand sword)

Fighter : Use own cool down each time you use the chain. to activate the chain you must use attacks skills.(wields Gloves)

Highfighter : Chain is same as Fighter.(wields Gloves)

Astrologer : All allies magic attack and magic defense is increased by 1.5% everytime you use the chain. Chain only works while wielding a staff. To activate the chain you must use attack skills.(wields a staff)

Planetary Mage : Chain is same as Astrologer.(wields a staff)

Blade Dancer : Increase critical chance. To activate the chain you must use any skill.(wields a dagger and dual wields a 1 hand weapon)

Assassin : Chain is same as Blade Dancer.(wields a dagger and dual wields a 1 hand weapon)

Healing Support

Monk : Heals all allies when chain ends. To activate the chain you must use buff skills.(wields a staff)

Priest : Chain is same as Monk.(wields a staff)

Buff/Debuff Support

Conjurer : All enemies attack decreases by 1% everytime you use the chain. To activate the chain you must use debuff skills.(wields a dagger)

Crafter : All allies physical and magical attack increase by 1% everytime you use the chain. To activate the chain chain you must use any skill.(wields a 1 hand axe)

Engineer : Chain is same as Crafter.(wields a 1 hand axe)

5.Leveling Guide

i.For Beginners : You start the game with Explorer as your job. You get new job after completing Ch.18. By then your Explorer is level 20 above. You can either ignore that job or continue leveling it, the process doesn't change. Go to Coal Mines( through Wide Range Plains ). I'd suggest that you stay in Multi Mode and join other people in leveling. Don't be aggressive, wait for other people to start attacking and then attack. PLEASE DON'T LEECH. Contribute whatever you can.You can easily reach level 40. Going to level 45 is a long process so I would suggest that you use potatoes to synthesize some 'Croquette'(50% Exp Booster) and use them. After reaching level 45 change your job and repeat( I recommend changing jobs at level 40, I'll explain why in the Intermediate's section ).

ii.For Intermediates : After you complete Ch.53 you will unlock a new map called Mountains, Seas and Beaches which will be your new training grounds. Monsters their give more exp but are harder to defeat. I recommend going there in a party of at least two people. Once again, Exp Boosters are a must. The second method of leveling for Intermediate players is using the event maps. Every 15 days or so, a new event starts which gives you the best leveling grounds in game. Go for Advanced+ difficulty and join in with other people. Monsters are really tough so you need to contribute to the best of your ability. I recommend going as a hitter. Last but not the least, go for Fire Cave Dungeon everyday as it gives 200k Exp on a daily basis. Remember to switch to the job you want to level up. You can solo it but still I recommend that you get a friend and go for it.

6.Dungeons

There are four dungeons in game.

i.Fire Cave ( need to be level 40 to enter )

ii.Underground Cave ( need to be level 10 to enter )

iii.Bottomless Coalmine ( need to be level 50 to enter )

iv.Tower of time : An endgame dungeon for veteran players only.

7.Bonds

The most important and underrated aspect of the game. Bond is like a guild. The only difference in this game is that you can join two bonds at once. The thing that I like about this game is the community. Community in this game is real friendly and supportive. Take advantage of that and make friends. Get a reason to log in everyday.

Use chat feature. The chatting feature in this game is quite simple and straightforward. If you are in bond, then open up the chat and tap on ‘Bond’. Bond messages are colored blue. You can communicate with people in your party by tapping on ‘Party’. Messages by party members are colored green. I would suggest starting out by pointing the language that you can speak so that you and the other person could find common grounds to become with. Also always return the favour by liking the subject that liked you. You will be seeing them a lot in game so healthy relations with everyone is important.

This marks the end of this quick guide for beginners. I'd like you to contact me in game if you need any help.
