1.0 Strength Character

Very simple, ensure your character is designed to become a PURE STRENGTH (STR) character. Which means you place all your points into STR rather than INTEL (mana). You will find that this will increase your HP, Phyiscal Defense and Physical Damage.

By the time you reach level 47-48 you should have around 5.5k (5,500) HP and around 1.8k (1,800) MANA. At around level 68-69 you will have above 13k HP and close to 4k MP. This of course can change if your weapons/armour/accessories contain extra stats.

1.1 Armour Type

Being a full STR character would make you extremely powerful against physical attacks if you wore ARMOUR. 95% of all monsters in the game are physical type. Once you reach lvl30, lvl48, lvl50+ You will find that monsters will start having magical attacks (ie. Toaists, Ishades, Spiders). Being a full STR and wearing ARMOUR you will notice that magical monsters will do much higher damage than normal monsters. Example, when i was lvl45, wearing Armour, i decided to fight spiders. They did about 900-1,200 damage per hit. However, these monsters were ORANGE, rather than the average (WHITE).

When i became level48 these monsters only did around 500-700 damage per hit, while i was wearing ARMOUR. However, once i put on GARMENT these magical monsters only did around 200-400 damage. Changing to garment will mean physical type monsters will do more damage than normal, if you had been wearing ARMOUR type.

However, there is an advantage being PURE STR. Being pure STR you will already have the MAX physical defense, why? Because all your points have been placed into STR therefore increasing the physical defense the maximum capability for your level. Wearing ARMOUR on top of that makes you even stronger. So if you were to change from ARMOUR to GARMENT you would still have a considerably high physical defense. CURRENTLY: I am wearing GARMENT. I did wear armour until i was lvl48-49.

**NOTE: Wearing ARMOUR will slow you down while running. Garment is much ligher, and therefore you will run faster than normal speeds (not including speed ups). On top of that wearing garment will decrease magical (MP) consumption.

2.0 Fire Skill

Being full STR you wont have plenty of SP to spend on skills, so if you think your going to have both FIRE and Galvie skills equal level to each other think again. Right now my Weapon mastery is level 48, while my Fire Mastery is only level 35. Being a FULL STR you MUST focus on weapon mastery skills and only the fire buff skills and protection skill on fire. When i got to around level 30 i made all my skills (except blade/sword) at least level 10. Why? I took advantage of all the passive skills as well as extra buffs, including protection and attacking skills. (Common ones include, ALL passive skills (except blade/sword), Speed up, Fire and Ice protection skills, Fire and Lightninig buffs (increase magical and physical attack) and Bird skill (archer skill, summons bird to increase attack rating)).

[UPDATE- 14th December, 2006]
Being lvl70 now i have managed to gain SP by farming. I farmed SP since lvl54 to around lvl59. A good way to increase your SP is by simply keeping your masteries 1 or 2 levels below your actual level. Doing this will generate 20% more SP than normal.

[ The skills which i have upgraded are show below in the screenshot section. ]

**NOTE: If you really want to make yourself STRONG avoid specialising in to many areas. Do not do galvie, Fire and Force. You will find at level 40+ that you will be crying for SP so you can get some new awsome skills.

3.0 Galvie & Weapon Mastery Skills.

As you all know galvies are designed for PURE STR characters. Why? Because the physical damage is much higher than a spear, therefore more damage if your player is designed as a FULL STR. While a spear is designed for INTEL, due to its high magical damage.

I have never SP farmed since i created this guide (level 48). Which means my weapon mastery was always the same level as my character.

**NOTE: If your weapon mastery is lower, you will gain more SP than EXP. Therefore making your farm SP. If your weapon mastery is the same level as your character level you will gain MAXIMUM EXP per monster, but lower SP.

1st SKill- Wolf Bit Spear - (only make it level1). Do not upgrade it further, its a useless skill which no high level bothers upgrading.

2nd Skill- Bloody Fan - Never even touched it. Pretty useless.

3rd Skill- Dancing demon spear - (Only ever made it level1). Damage is OK, but decreases % ratio once you decide to upgrade to Jade Breaking speear (level 32). I have however considered making this skill MAX and upgrading it at level 54, but i am still contemplating.

4th Skill- Soul spear series - Very useful. Make sure you always upgrade this skill. Even though rather slow, it does some very good damage.

5th Skill- Ghost petal series - Very useful. Make sure you always upgrade this skill.

6th Skill- chain spear series- (Note this part was missed out last version). Well after i received some complaints regarding this section being missed i finally added it to the newest version.

The chain spear series is very important and is generally designed for HUNTING monsters, rather than PvP. You will notice that if you use this skill in PvP below lvl47 and the player againts you is roughly around the same level as you, then the damage done is relatively low, compared to soul spear series or ghost petal.

At level 24 you will be able to upgrade/learn your new chain spear tiger skill. Ensure you get this skill to its max (lvl9) before you become level 47. This skills delivers very much the same as the ghost spear series attacks and sometimes greater than soul spear.

At lvl47 you will be able to either upgrade one or both, chain spear- shura and chain spear- Nachal (Note: I recommend only doing chain spear- shura, unless of course you have enough SP saved or have SP farmed previously). Reason why to choose, shura? Because it has 78% damage infliction and it does 5 attacks, rather than 4. This skill at level 47 is very useful and generally takes 70% of the monsters life or you might just kill it. Also proves to be useful in PvP. Its really effective if you have both nachal and shura, because you can use both at the same time (one after each other) and perfom a 9 hit combo, which will for sure kill any norma monster and even kill a player in PvP. (Nachal is faster than shura, it literally stabs the monster/player 4 times within 2-3 seconds. Shura takes about 5-7 seconds to complete, but does an extra attack).

[Update] When you get to level69 choose either DRAGON or PLUTO, both are MAX at lvl1. Both seem to deal the same sort of damage per hit. However, dragon does 6 attack combo, while pluto does 4. However the damage PERCENTAGE (%) seems to give it a balance. If you want to save SP then only choose one of the lines, rather than mastering both lines.

7th Skill- Flying Dragon - (Only ever made it level 3). Not worth upgrading. Maybe later when you reach level 50+.

7th Skill (Passive)- Always upgrade this skill, increases your HP.

-In general the most effect and useful skills are the 4th and 5th. So be sure to save up and upgrade them. Ignore the ones below until you become level 40+ and consider maybe specialising in those areas.

[UPDATE- 14th December]
My current skills are as follow:
ICE - level 64
LIGHT - level 60
FIRE - level 69
FORCE - level 10
Glavie - level 69
BOW - level 20

Required EXP: 0
Required SP EXP: 62,676,000
Required SP: 156,690
Mastery Level: 292/300

That ends this guide. If you have any questions please dont be afraid to ask i will answer them accordingly.
