Part 1. - How to level fast with a pure INT.
A pure INT is the fastest leveler. Its fact. A pure INT does more damage, and after level 30 has a very powerful ranged magical attack called a "nuke". In this guide, we are completely based around using these "nukes".

Requirements
To be the fastest leveler, you will need the following.
1. Determination
2. Self-discipline
3. Experience
4. Enough gold to buy the latest weapon at each level

Basic Step by Step Guide.
Start a new character, make sure you select the BOW as your weapon. Why you ask?
Bow is the fastest levelling below level 30.

Start off grinding, (mangyangs, weasels e.t.c.). DO NOT level any masteries. Once you hit level 5, you can get your first skill and imbue.

Imbue - A magic status for your weapon that infuses the weapon with the power of an element. (My own definition).
All you need to know is it makes your attacks more powerful and last 5 seconds (at level 5).

Once at level 5, level up the masteries "Pacheon", the bow mastery, and "Lightning", for your imbue and speed skills. And also later, a nuke. Your build will now look like this;
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] ... file=32827

With this skills, grind up to level 7. Once at level 7, level up both pacheon and lightning to level 5. This gives a gap of 2. (A gap is the difference of your character level and your highest mastery level).

Now, continue to grind to level 8. WOW!!! Level 8!!! You can buy a new weapon. You probably wont have much money, assuming this is a new server, so search stalls for a nice level 8 bow. Any will do, as long as its cheaper than from the NPC.

Now you are level 8, whilst in town, buy a lot of MP and HP herbs, and run over to the Yeoha mobs out of the west gate of jangan and over the bridge. You will be able to handle the decayed yeohas as they are pure phy attack so they need to be close to attack you, and they walk VERY slow. Try to avoid the normal Yeoha's. Keep killing these mobs until level 13.

Whilst leveling, keep the 2 gap between mastery level and character level. Keep pacheon and lightning at the same.

NOTE: While leveling with the two gap, remember to keep ugrading the anti-devil bow and the lightning imbue at every skill level. At level 29 you should have anti-devil bow maxed and the following lightning skills maxed;
Lightning Imbue - MAXED
Flow/Must Piercing Force - MAXED (use this buff all the time)
Grass walk - MAXED
Lion Shout Series - MAXED

REMEMBER: You should update your armor/garment/protector, and weapons at every degree.

As soon as you're level 30, you get the lightning nuke and shouts, use the nuke + shout whatever you are. You can keep your bow for now, just make sure you get a spear at level 32. You want the most power with your nukes.

NOW WE CHANGE GAP! VERY IMPORTANT.
We now change to a one gap. As soon as you hit level 30, bring lightning up to level 30. Get the nuke. Now, once you hit level 31, dont level up lightning. But when you hit 32, bring lightning up to level 31. Then at level 33, bring lightning up to 32... So on and so forth. Keep a one gap ALL THE WAY FROM NOW ON.

NOTE: The fastest way to level is to kill the highest mob that you can kill with one nuke and one shout. Even if it is lower level that you.

Final Step
Now, grind all the way to level 72, only leveling lightning, all skills except phantom walk and the concentration series. Use a spear, right until the end. Once at level 72, get skills to level 71. Now, we can start to create your build. Obviously after some pwnage at PVP, as everyone will be 30 levels lower than you haha. Since you will be pretty much the only person in Taklamakan, you go to whichever mobs you can handle, and start to create a 9 gap. Once at level 80, you will have that 9 gap. Just grind until you have enough skill points for your build. I suggest using this calculator as it includes updated skills (such as mana shield).

MY ADVICE TO YOU
As a pure int, you will have low defense, so i advise you take sword/shield as your build. But obviously, a spear can also survive with the mana shield, but yet again, sword and shield is much better at surviving and tanks better with mana shield.

Your build can be whatever you like, but i suggest one of the following.

Heuksal - 80
Ice - 80
Lightning - 80
Fire - 60

Bicheon - 80
Heuksal - 60
Lightning - 80
Ice - 80

Bicheon - 80
Lightning - 80
Ice - 80
Fire - 60


For the red build, this is pure int spear. Get all Lightning skills. Get all fire skills. Only get the ice passive and cold armor in ice.
Get all heuksal skills except the following;
First series (Wolf bite)
The dancing demon/heuskal spear series
The chains
The spear throw.

For the blue build, this is sword and shield. Get all Lightning skills. Get all fire skills. Only get the ice passive and cold armor in ice.
Get all skills in bicheon except the following;
The First Series
The Chains
Blade Force/Soul Cut Blade
Specials (Snake Sword Dance)

For the brown build, this is sword and shield.Get all Lightning skills. Get all fire skills. Only get the ice passive and cold armor in ice.
Get all bicheon skills except the following;
The First Series
The Chains
Blade Force/Soul Cut Blade
Specials (Snake Sword Dance)

MAIN POINT - Do not create your build until you have enough skill points.


Part 2. How to level fast with a STR character
This is a lot harder. A STR build gets half its power from weapon skills and half from the imbue. This makes it difficult as a 1 gap is not sufficient to have enough skill points to level up two masteries.

Unfortunately, i do not have enough experience to give a fool proof guide with STR characters. But here is what i can tell you.

Requirements
1. A LOT of determination
2. Lots of time

Information i can offer
Fire imbue is necessary for a strength build to do a lot of damage. But you will also need lightning for the speed buffs.
So here is an alternative. Use drug of wind until you are level 52, and create a 9 gap at that level. By this time, you should have farmed a lot of gold, and maybe you can buy an SoX glaive and farm penons to get your necessary SP. STR builds have other advantages than fast leveling.

Part 3. Questions And Answers

Q: How much does it cost to delevel pacheon? And when should i do it?
A: I'm not certain how much it wil cost, but an approximate guess is around 20-30K per skill? With curst hearts obviously.
At level 70-80, a day of grinding can earn you over a million, and so i'd suggest, only delevel when you have to. I suggest when SP farming at level 70-80, just have the curst hearts quest and collect the number necessary.

Q: How many curst hearts will it take to delevel pacheon?
A: 40. As long as you follow this guide perfectly. Look here at what pacheon should include;

Q: Should i do the quests?
A: Not all of them. Check the rewards, and only do the quests with SP rewards as well as exp. Otherwise you will not have enough SP to level. IF you decide to do a quest with no SP reward, build up a bigger gap until it regulates itself.
E.G: IF you do a quest that gives you 5% exp, work out what 5% of the SP gained in that level was, and make sure you earn it back with a 2 gap the next level.

Stolen Guide without reference!!!
And this Guide is pretty useless.
Who wants to farm at lvl 80 with 9er gap oO
U have to farm then 300-400k SPs there.
This would take infinite long.

This Guide is crap.
The fastest way is still farm at low lvl and then with 0er gap up to 80!!!

I also think that this is kinda useless, I mean, euro chars lv way faster, & like Spri said, who would be stupid enough to grind at 80? =/

I think calling this guide "Crap" is a little too much. What about the people who have no way to farm at the ongs at low level? Or the people THAT ALREADY are 6x or 7x and want a decent way to START farming?

Not everyone has a 80 nuker or high level wizard to farm themselves with.

Also, the one thing i would change is this :

Heuksal - 80
Ice - 80
Lightning - 80
Fire - 60

I have a lvl 80 full farmed hybrid int spear except i went Ice 80, Heuksal 80, FIRE 80, and lightning 60. In my opinion the fire nukes/buffs are more beneficial than the lightning ones.

Maybe you didnt read the Thread.
This guide is about how to make a Full Farmed high Level char from zero.
So we can say that thread is crap.
And there are more than enough who powerlvl for money, and also without powerlvl but with a good sox weapon & set you farm way faster as lvl 20 than as lvl 80.

Um, maybe YOU didnt read the fucking thread. Just because it's a guide to level from 1-80 doesnt make it crap. Not everyone has gold to give plvlers, and also, plvlers aren't consistent. You can't be sure the same plvlers will be on day after day. And you waste time sitting around for one. You CAN however bot yourself day after day.

You criticize too much.

i'll have to agree with n00p, but not 100%.

the OP is just a little weird, it states that this thread is for kinda "new" servers thats not infected with high lvl people so you can go lvl wherever you want.
on the other hand, he said to just buy a lvl 8 bow and upgrade your armors each degree.. that means there'll be a few high lvl ppl already.

no one can get good plvl to farm sp or even get a decent sox bow(very few ppl maybe) at low lvl on a new server so yeah.. i like the guide.

see it how you want,
thumbs up!
02/28/2008 11:33 SpriGgy#13
OK for New Servers this Guide might be helpful.
But for older Servers i still think its useless.
And this guide doesnt say anthing about sharepartys, but the most know, grinding with other players in shareparty is much better than the lone wolf method. But the idea to grind at lvl 80 is still not usefull. Cause if you are str you should powerfarm at Earth Ghost Soldiers alone or in shareparty. Really good Spawn if cave issnt so full like on new servers.
And as Int it would good too, or farm alone at Nachals if the Room is nearly emty or make SHareparty with other INTs there. I never got so fast EXP & dropps like there.

ty nice guide :))

Nice guide for new players :D .. but i serious suggest sp farming in lvl 16 just get a sos som or sosun bow. only take ur fire up to level 7 and upgrade fire, so when ur lvl 16 u have 9 gap, and then dlevel in lvl 19 or som :)
