Hello everywon
I made a short guide for pvm and would like to share this. (this goes until lvl 105 P0) If you do not agree with something, let me know so we can discuss.
It's for new players, who have issues with killing some mobs (dying or no damage)
When you start playing, you level up in map 1 untill lvl 15. Then you go teachers and get your skills, you should max 1 skill first to M1
- for body warrior : Aura of sword
- for mental warrior : strong body
- for weapon sura : enchanted blade
- for black magic sura : doesn't matter (flame spirit is best option I think)
- for dragon shaman : dragon aid/strength or blessing
- for healing shaman : doesn't matter
- for blade ninja : doesn't matter
- for bow ninja : doesn't matter
At 15, you go to Bakra (map 2) to train to lvl 30. When you are lvl 30 make sure you have a good sword/claw/bell (Sword for ninja/sura/warrior ,claw for lycan and bell for shamans: can be bought at weapon store/claw at blacksmith). Also get lvl 29 leather boots, a golden necklace, a lvl 26 armour, a bracelet (which one doesn't matter), earrings (usually get ebony earrings), a lvl 21 helmet and a shield. Then you can go to the spider cave to level to 70. (cave 2 till 45 I think, and then 45-70 in cave 3) For weapon and armour also put stones in them (vitality and def/ducking/evasion for armour and pierce/crit/mob for weapon). 30-40 average should be fine on weapon. Put 1.5k-2k hp aswell on armour/neck/shoes/bracelet.
Never use daggers for pvm as a ninja and also no fan as shaman ofcourse + twohanded weapons aren't that good either for pvm
Here are the stats you should max for each class
- warrior : str > vit > dex > int
- weapon sura : int > vit > str > dex ( if you die alot) / int > str > vit > dex ( if you want to hit more)
- black magic sura : int > vit > dex > str / int > dex > vit > str
- shaman : int > vit > dex > str
- ninja : dex > vit > str > int / dex > str > vit > int
- lycan : int > str > vit > dex / int > vit > str > dex (Pvm) / int > dex > vit > str / int > dex > str > vit (Pvp)
If you have reached lvl 70, you should start looking for a good 75 weapon (40-50 average) and start making a 70 armour aswell then.
Also replace your low level accesories by 54 bracelet/necklace, 55 shoes or 75 quilin shoes, 61 helmet (if you need some pm me ingame or on forum, I can get you one, actually bracelets and necklaces aswell) and 61 shield. Buying some rings, could also be nice. If you have trouble with money, it might be a good option to start do the missions (there is a guide on the forum about it). And when you are doing nothing, you can also do your biologist missions (guide on forum aswell)
Bonus: these are the good bonusses you need, ofcourse you can get other things on them aswell (and undead will start getting useful soon so it could be nice to have it on some of your items too)
- necklace : 1.5-2k hp, 10% crit chance, 20-30% hp regen.
- bracelet : 1.5-2k hp, 10% pierce, 10% hp absorb, 20% devil.
- shoes : 1.5-2k hp , 10% crit chance
- helmet : 20% devil, 20-30% hp regen, 5-8% poison chance.
- shield : defense against blackout, 20% devil, %block chance (not that necasary though), 12 str/int/dex (depending on your class: look status order)
- armour : 1.5-2k hp, 50 attack value , 10% hp absorb.
- earrings : arrow resistance, 20% devil
- rings : 20% devil, 12 str/int/dex (depending on your class), crit chance , pierce chance
- weapon : good average: 40-50 should be fine, devil and str/int/dex or crit could be nice if possible.
- If you have money left, you can also put 6+7 bonus on all items : helmet (movespeed and attackspeed), shield (str/int/dex + vit), necklace (500 hp+50 sp), bracelet (500hp+50 sp), weapon (5% monster + str/int/dex), armour (500hp +50attack value), rings (5% monster + str/int/dex), earrings (str/int/dex + vit/attack speed), shoes (500 hp + attack speed
- Don't forget to put +7 stones in your armour and weapon. (you can make +7 stones by buying +5 stones at general store and upgrade them with blessing scrolls or on blacksmith + if stones fail, you can buy craftbook to remove broken stones at armour store)
Armour : stone of vitality (most important), stone of evasion, stone of ducking, stone of defense, stone of haste (you can choose 2 of the other 4, they all give advantages)
Weapon : monster, pierce and crit stone.
When you got most of those items, you can go back to spider cave to get level 75, or you could go metin map, and farm some metins, to level up.
- Always make sure you got most your items before you get the level for it (if not, you might get behind, and have troubles). At 75 I would suggest farming enough money, to make all your skills P or to buy a rainbowstone (makes immediately P skills: costs 10kkk +- ) Then you can go to aqua dragon, and farm up to upgrade other of your items. Also, don't forget to activate the alchemy mission (at alchemist : collect 6 dragon stone shards). When you have farmed enough, to make your lvl 70 armour to a lvl 90 one, and you got 95 earrings (emerald earrings: gives str + average damage, each class should use them for pvm). You can level further in wc2 (btw, when you do aqua dragon often, you will level fast too, you might be lvl 85-90 by then). Also, at lvl 75, you can start joining Azrael runs, for this you will need a relic, which drops from Death reaper (Death reaper spawns in boss map 2x each channel, and also in demon tower last floor). For Azrael you will need a group with some good members, and you will have to know how to do the 3th floor aswell.
- When you have reached lvl 90, you must go Dawn to level further (this doesn't go that fast but it's your best option). In Cape/Dawn/Bay/Thunder (the other maps that you can enter at lvl 90) there are also some bosses, who drop some nice items. (For their location and more info check my other guide "bosses 90 maps" and bonus table in my other guide for the strong against, and resistances against them) (sorry but don't know how to create a link to my other guides, if someone knows, please tell me)
- In Dawn it's best to level at the Lemures, you will see a big spot with alot of them, if you just walk straight. These mobs die pretty fast and don't hit that much so this shouldn't be a problem. You should train here untill level 105 but, at 100 you can do a level stop, to farm up some money, in order to make your armour epic. This will also costs vitality ores (these can be made by dragging 55+ items on the general store: will give you 0-15 vitas). They also drop from vitality ore packages, which can be dropped from the bosses in 90 map/Whelp boxes/Aqua dragon daily quest (not sure about this though).
-Also at level 100 you can do 2 more runs: Nemere and Razador.
For Nemere you need a ninja and a shaman in your group, so this might cause problems.
For Razador, you can go with just 2 but the leader has to be level 104 or higher, and you will all need a passage ticket (this you can find at general store, costs 5kk or something like that)
Razador and Nemere both drop whelp box, pet book box (which drops from 90 map bosses aswell), boost/ward book chests and Transform/Enchant costumes.
Nemere also drops an ice dungeon ticket, which is needed to enter Ice dungeon. (if you need more information about this ice dungeon, check other guides)
- When you are leveling, keep in mind that you can use 2 xp rings, 1hour and 3hour, can be used at the same time, (1 hour xp ring can't be removed but 3 hour ring can be put off, whenever you want: 3 hour xp ring drops from master chests (which drops from metin stones and 90 map bosses), 1hour xp ring drops from 75+ metin stones (I think)).
Also, don't forget to keep your daily quests on whenever you can, they give good rewards.
I hope this helps alot for new players with troubles, and don't know what to do
Thank you for reading this. (feel free to leave comments)
