This guide assumes that you’re starting the game for the first time on this server. It will eventually note which equipment you may need for additional characters.
Feel free to use the database for more information on specific items.
Destiny Reader is also available
It's an amazing tool that can show you which items drop on the floor.
download it in the appropriate topic
Regardless of which character you pick you can extend the duration of auto disconnect in the
in-game option
and also speed the display of the menu text
I would say these characters are the easiest to start the game with in this particular order including their material plan needs. (It’s not absolute. feel free to start with any class you want. It’s just my personal opinion)
Humar <->Hunewearl It’s basically a tradeoff between Male vs Female Animation, better Techs/Healing for Hunewearl and TP regeneration.
Also, very important: HUmar can use Shifta/Deband lvl 15 here.
Ramar, Ramar can use Jellen Zalure here
Racast <-> Racaseal
Hucast <->Hucaseal Both have High HP and can be specialized depending on your playstyle. Either in ATP/DFP (Hucast) or ATA/EVP (Hucaseal)
Fonewearl <->Fonewm It does depend on your play style. FOnewm might get his shield (Three Seals) easier but lacks good healing and support early before Skyfall. On the other hand, Fonewearl is more all-around support in my opinion due to their possibility of early Glide X (but harder Elemental Shield Drop) the downside resides in their low HP.
Ramarl. Currently, their high material requirement for decent damage makes it hard to recommend them as a first character.
Fomar <->Fomarl Gear for melee (Excalibur) can be found faster for Fomar, but Fomarl can use support item quicker and earlier due to MST requirement.
Please also notes that if your aim is Battleforce/Melee Force you may need to start this kind of build after you've got a solid other class to run to game to obtain the items necessary for it.
Also Nuke Force outside of the Highest Tier items are fairly cheap to build investment/time wise.
VERY IMPORTANT. When you do you create your new character, use the command /dropstyle 2 to make the drops set to individual so any person on the room can access rare drops.
Each day you have to opportunity to get a daily crate on a specific quest which can be seen by typing the command "/daily" In game, the drop rates of the crates increases if you hunt with more people. Here's the rates:
Normal 1 player: 1/2000
Normal 2 players: 1/1200
Normal 3 players: 1/932
Normal 4 players: 1/800
Hard 1 player: 1/1600
Hard 2 players: 1/960
Hard 3 players: 1/720
Hard 4 players: 1/600
Very Hard 1 player: 1/800
Very Hard 2 players: 1/560
Very Hard 3 players: 1/400
Very Hard 4 players: 1/320
Ultimate 1 player: 1/800
Ultimate 2 players: 1/560
Ultimate 3 players: 1/400
Ultimate 4 players: 1/320
In Ultimate, Phantasmal Crates has their own topic for their possible rewards
Phantasmal Crates Findings
You can get ADDSLOTS for maxing your armors slots easily by doing Redria Normal Temple Episode 2 > Dolmolm Research
You may come across Photon Drops as rare items.
Gathering 99 of these can give you a Photon Sphere in Episode 2 > Gallon’s Shop like the original game. Once you complete the special tasks in east/west tower you can also add specials to s-ranks and use your Photon Drops and Spheres to increase attributes on most weapons, but also exclusively on this server, 6 Photon Drops can be exchanged for 1 Photon Token in the quest, the Phantastic Bazaar. Photon Tokens alllow you to boost your HIT on any weapon by 1% each to a maximum of 80% hit. where you can trade respectively 1, 5, 10 or 20 tokens at the time on a same weapon
Also, in the Bazaar, you can also add specials on rare weapons that don't have their own for 50 PDS. This is really useful for Yasminkov guns, Type weapons, and Hellion Sword.
Non Rare Charge Weapon such has Raygun Vulcans and Arms are available in the Bazaar for 1 PDs each
There is no definite hierarchy but depending on the class you play you may need to get access to these specific items in priority.
Hallowed Garment
Haunted Helm
Blue Winter Hat
Deal with It
These are event items for making new characters but many players keep them for newcomers. Just ask away or get them for very cheap
These are mostly useful and probably the best for any human character until level 160
Casts can benefit from black hound cuirass on level 123 which will give them a +300 DFP Boost
After making any character:
Optional: Decide which kind of endgame build you would go for in the materials consuming process.
Build your mag.
Try to find/hunt in chronological order for each class the following
Note that if its not your first character you can easily grind normal to v hard quite easily using hell weapons and the appropriate /Arms units/Mags which will be make you able to equip Hell Striker by example

Leveling Efficiently
These quests are assuming you're getting carried by a high-level party that helps you to level fast.
Towards the Future (Boss rush)
Maximum Attack S Episode 1 (if you can manage paralysis)
Maximum Attack S Episode 4
Dolmolm Research
CCA (no quest) after it got unlocked on all 3 areas (the player which does get all the 3 switch at the end is saved to the server for that difficulty so he won't have to unlock CCA fully again =P
RT (Boss rush)
Playing your class efficiently :
General guidelines :
Quite 2 opposite kind of thinking but complementary
First try to carry as less unnecessary weapon that you need for the specfic quest/episode you're doing this way you can browse your inventory by the quick menu faster that ending on weapons that purely slow you down in item selection at a given situation this small difference can result on either successfully manage the spawn, or simply dying because you couldn't switch to the appropriate weapon in time
Secondly carry as much weapons(including set) as you can in terms of diversity to efficiently handle all kind of situations
For those specific recommendations Optimizing/Sorting your weapon efficiently is mandatory
knowing that by example as Force that setting by example Skyfall/Tyrell Parasol on 1st spot and Celestial Fusion/Glide Divine as 2nd spot is vital to handle a lot of situation instead on losing time in all spawns.
The quick menu can be used efficiently by setting your most needed weapon either on the first few slots starting from the top and on the bottom of the list.
This way you will not use your precious time to drag all the way up to down to look for a weapon but instead starting from the bottom to get these quicker.
Also when using casts you may use Twin Blaze to set up the mini gifoie instant trap combo
When using casts having an approximation of what numbers of traps you need before refilling/reaching an healing ring is quite important. This means learning the spawns or knowing which spawns you don't need trap.
This problem for hunter have been simplified with the appearance of Twin Cyclone which has 3 targets Freeze bomb special
Hunter
Usually Hunters will catch the aggro of ennemies the more easier as they're close combat to the mobs.
these are not absolute but each specific Hunter has (for me) an Endgame favorised playstyle
Humar focuses on High DPS, Demon and Spirit while having still the minimum bagage to handle 2P games without force, as they have SD on this server. They will outshines Huney when played in groups in other aspects aside to the speed of spamming Ultimate Double Cannon/Resta.
Hunewearl
The female counterpart of Human Hunter, posess female animation which can come in handy for double saber such as Ultimate Double Cannon als Hunewearl is not considered to be bottom of tier unlike other servers, here its very balanced and versatile. Very good for solo play.
Hucast
The way Hucast is built can either be made into a DFP or ATP build even one featuring both at the sacrifice of units (Which I personally don't think any units sacrifice worth it except if you manage to get the ceiling of stats with 1 unit done)
Its resilient, it does tons of damage it has traps. playing Casts is mostly a race vs getting out of ressources if you do not have support.
Hucaseal
The way Hucaseal is built can either be made into an ATA/ATP or EVP based build. if you go full EVP Build be prepared to evade a lot of attacks which makes the build hyper fun to use
ATP/ATA is like having a hunter with ranger ata and lots of HP which is definitely good
Dark Flow Gameplay:
Dark Flow here is combo unlocked and its blade produces damage alongside its swing.
Using Stormrender you can maintain yourself as cast under the famous 12.5% of HP necessary to trigger the special and of course getting from 100% to HP to under 12.5% with Ultimate Double Cannon
Being under 12.5% means you should either have a knowledge of the upcoming spawns, be comfortable by the numbers of trap you have, or using mates at specific points,
Something sometime overlook is to be cautious if you're going for Dark Flow gameplay as Human as you normally can't see where traps are unless you're going for awkward strat like carrying trap vision, usually you would carry a trap unit or a shadow cloak if you're aiming to walk through long distance under 12.5% or you'll simply Dark Flow at specific points.
Basic gameplay for it as casts is to trigger traps get behind and ignite trap with the special.
Simply Special Special Special
or simply Normal Hard Special on basic enemies to juggle with the stun of the blade and their recovery time
The fact that the blades hits along the special changes a lot of things, makes it even more effective as a boss killer, by example you can now kill dragon types second phase without having them quit the land (at the exception of the Rathalos/Vaal Hazak where you usually need to be careful and having constant resta spam support). Finally this change gives you some sort of reward for having being close to the enemies
You can have some Synergy with DFP HUcast or EVP Hucaseal aswell
Ranger
Ranger got a great diversity of options here. From Frozen Shooter/Frostbite/Snow Queen to Arrest Needle to Arctic Faust, passing by Combustion Cannon, Yasminkov9000M,Final Egg Blaster and Dark Meteor Its way diverse. Ranger excels in crowd control and inflicting status ailments to monsters. Note that when exploring Episode 4 you should always carry a melee weapon, such as Last Emperor, Ancient Prophecy or Excalibur
Ramar
It features the highest natural ATA of the game and can use Grave Digger and Demon Yasminkov9M to its fulltest also when maxxed it can make nices uses of Christmas Spirit.
aswell as all the weaponry listed above. however he's quite fragile if you want to go pure ATA Build
Ramarl
The female version of Ramar pretty much everything applies
Racast
Even if its HP got reduced vs Vanilla its still a powerhouse, it does tons of damage, can abuse Charge Weapons and Sacrificial like no tomorrow. Imo you should always carry Demon Yasminkov9M with it it does well against problematic ennemies.
I wouldn't take Grave Digger outside of Tower based quest though (it works well on Walking Through Flames)* - Orgo disagrees with this. He says take Grave Digger everywhere.
Rcaseal
The Female Counterpart to Racast Its DFP got nefred I still don't own one to test myself but it can still be solid with Max DFP
Force
Force is technically the hardest class to master. It requires multi tasking having all time a global perspective at your team HP bar and SD icons . knowing each enemies elemental weaknesses (nuke force), also you need to be able to dodge and switch between cane and offensive weapons (demon) through the course of actions in the case. Keep in mind that you constantly need to jump around between healing your comrades, attacking/nuking, preventing eventual enemies rush and Reviving your allies it takes definitely some mental gym to pull everything together. from my personal perspective unless you don't have all gear you shouldn't come undergeared when playing Force. Depending which class and build you choose, as it may be pure nuking, pure battleforce or a combination of both, you should always carry demon weapons. They are overlooked or forgotten but 50Hit Bringer Rifle and Hit Slicer of Fanatic is a must for dealing with enemies you can't kill fast with spells.
When Nuking using Skyfall as a safety net even its not optimal in tech boost is great to constantly filling your team mate HP and still getting damage done. You can also catch the aggro of some monsters and side step around for dodging while the others team mates does the job
Fomar
He has the male animation something interesting when working with Excalibur Last Emperor, Hellion Sword. His downside is you can't max both DFP and MST so if you choose the DFP way you'll likely need to have a D Virus Armor to equip Imm/Mind for Skyfall or you can still Use Immortal Battle with a shield which will grant you SDx2 such as Wings of Life or 2ND Anniversary Wings but you won't get the DFP from Max Red Ring you can alternatively choose to go full MST and ATP (I didn't go that path but you'll likely be hit harder by ennemies)
Fomarl
has fastest Shot animation of the game, best Slicer animation but worst Saber one,
When using her for melee build you must rely on Last Emperor and Hellion Sword for close combat. Or Slicer of Fanatic, Soul Devourer, Diska of Braveman Rambling May mostly for Ranged.
One interesting use is to max its DFP ATA ATP and get just Enough MST for Skyfall, using Batwing and D Virus will transform you in a living Tank
Fonewm
You'll likely apply the above and nuke with her or using the demons weapon mentionned before
Fonewearl
You'll likely apply the above and nuke with her or using the demons weapon mentionned before his simple Techs makes her very effective to solo numerous Boss
Techniques and tricks:
Dodging/Sidesteping
basically you only need to pull the stick in sync with the ennemy attack and and push it back to dodge it can be done even easier by getting the item chat menu
Special Normal Special
SNS trick consists of doing a combo Special, Normal, Special. With some weapons, like slicers, this type of attack combination allows you to do the 2nd attack (Normal) before the first (Special) hits the enemy. When this happens, the first special attack will then take on some properties of the second attack. Notably, it will use the accuracy of a second normal rather than a first special. This makes it much more accurate and reliable.
Resta'ing only yourself
When you're in party as a human and with Dark Flow/Final Egg Blaster/D Virus Launcher users. you can actually resta only yourself by setting RESTA on the 1st spot of the quick change menu, then doing a simple or hard attack with the weapon you're currently using (or by doing an animation like dancing) then immediately use Resta from the quick menu
Stopping Dark Bringers, Delbiters Dorphons Zu's rush
simply cast Gifoie or use a Gifoie special weapon cast ability such
as Mercurius Rod or Twin Blaze (which creates 3x waves of Gifoie)
Stunlocking
Zu's Meri-type enemies can be continuously stun with Razonde or Rabarta
Cumulating Paralysis and Frozen Status on enemies
Easily doable as Ranger it will make both effects lasts longer
if you apply paralysis again before it wears off, it may doesn't sync to other players
Team Work
Instead of grouping your attacks on an enemy where another party member is already attacking, attack another one which will usually keep the others safer because you either catch the aggro or stunned the monster you chose to attack.
this will also prevent too much damage cancel (DMC)
Early attack
Sometimes group enemies such as Bartle/Vulmer/Arlan can attack early without bending their arm to the sky, watch out when you're approaching enemies with under 12.5% HP, this is interesting to know
Trap Shoot
the action of setting a trap and immediately normal attack with a gun/rifle type to inite the trap
mostly used with Freeze traps more rarely Confuse traps (depending on spawns) and sometimes detonation traps on Slimes or Deldepth
Twin Blaze's Instant trap
simply do a gizonde as special attack and release a trap to immediately ignite it you can this way follow up a trap after you stopped a Bringer rush or Delbiter
Stunlocking Vol Opt 1 Screens
you need to cast gizonde with v802 and weapon with High Machine %
or you can use a simple gun with simple attack letting a delay occur (when you hear the machine hit sound) then continue until the boss changes its phase. With V802, Razonde works at Vol Opt as well. less range, but you don't have to aim it, which can be useful
Using only 40 of PB as Dragon Sword/TJS Special
on 3rd hit after either normal or hard perform the special then change weapon quick.
You can use this to slowly put 4 waves total, put some damage. or even preventing ennemies rush
DO not use Divine Punishement Weapon if you're a Cast, because your max DPF is 0 and this will also create Damage Cancel (DMC)

Damage Multiplier
Hard damage is roughly normal damage x 1.89
Special is normal damage x 3.32
Vjaya is normal damage x 5.56
Accuracy Math
var n1output = (atainput*5-enemyevp)/5;
var n2output = ((((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+atainput/5)+(atainput/10)-0.1;
var n3output = (((((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+atainput/5)*1.5)-2-((atainput-enemyevp)/10);
var h1output =(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/8)+((atainput-enemyevp)/(40/3))-0.1;
var h2output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)-(atainput/10)+(atainput/100)-0.1;
var h3output =(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+(atainput*0.19)-1.15;
var s1output=((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/(40/3)+((atainput-enemyevp)/8);
var s2output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/8)+((atainput-enemyevp)/(40/3))-(atainput/20)-0.1;
var s3output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)-(atainput*0.15)-1.15;
end result is a % of hitting the target
Damage Multiplier Math
shiftainput = (1.3*(shiftalevel-1)+10)/100;
zalureinput = (1.3*(zalurelevel-1)+10)/100;
mindmg = Math.floor(((((baseatp*(shiftainput+1))+(minatp+grind*2)*(1+sphere)+armor+shield)-enemydfp)/5)*0.9);
maxdmg = Math.floor(((((baseatp*(shiftainput+1))+(maxatp-minatp)*(1+shiftainput)+(minatp+grind*2)*(1+sphere)+armor+shield)-enemydfp)/5)*0.9);
hardmindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*1.89);
hardmaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*1.89);
specialmindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*3.32);
specialmaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*3.32);
vjayamindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*5.56);
vjayamaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*5.56);
Math.floor = rounding down the value Example 7.499999 would round to 7
floor makes it where even 7.99999999 rounds to 7
base atp = player atp without weapon.
shiftainput = shifta level
max atp = max atp of weapon
minatp = minatp of weapon
grind = grind
sphere = % on the weapon I think. number 0-100.
armor and shield are armor/shield boosts
enemydfp is enemy dfp
then it's just the math on that
order of operations is really important
The ATA calculation is actually a lot simpler as it involves 2 variables.
This has 9 different things to consider.
But I'm pretty confident in its accuracy.
With some weapons, it's maybe off by 1 dmg or so.
Just hard to tell with min/max stuff
A fairly simple formula to see how much % will affect your damage is this:
Normal Attack. 100% will add about 20% Weapon min atp + grind as damage.
Hard Attack will be about 33%.
Special Attack will be about 60%
take Soul Biter. 700-750 ATP 75 Grind.
This means what % affects is 850 ATP. 700 + (75x2)
so 100% on an attribute should add:
Normal: 170 dmg
Hard: 280 dmg
Special: 510 dmg
and that shouldn't matter what enemy/atp/shifta/zalure/etc.
