The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Great, I hit level 80 earlier today and now my damage output is better than when I was GR 22 before I lost my save data, and i’m only GR 20. Got all the archer gear (level 3) apart from the boots and the AGI has made a big difference, I hardly get hit at all now, which is a big bonus.

Also using a couple of level 80 shortswords which has an attack of nearly 200, very nice. I am very tempted to rebirth as I don’t like shortsword but I will wait a while, maybe when i’m around GR 24 or 25 i’ll get the rebirths out the way. As i’ve said before, I want my end build as spear/bow and it’s very tempting to go for it now but it takes so long to get back to level 80 which is why i’m holding off.

Ran a few quests with the guild members tonight and it was good fun, Root of Evil and Jungle Jailbreak meant I got quite few nice items and managed to upgrade some of my gear to around +5 and i’m so pleased with my damage output now my enthusiasm for the game has returned and i’m really looking into the stats side of things for the different weapons.

There are so many different armors in this game it’s really hard to pick just one set, even a mix matched set, I think by the time i’m GR 30 i’ll be changing gear every quest, lol. Looking forward to experimenting a lot from this point on. Will update again over the weekend.

Yes, I hit the 54 million guild rank points last night to make Guild Rank 15, so pleased with myself, it’s only taken about 5 months. Only 3 trophies left to get now for the platinum.

I want to thank all the players that have been running with me, too many to mention by name but they know who they are. Players that stand out for me include Winterjade, Chuc, Bo and T-160, these players have saved my butt literally many times and haven’t minded doing so, I thank everyone for putting up with my miscalculations and errors when i’ve made them ( and i’ve made some doozies ) and have enjoyed every minute of this game up until now.

So what happens next? For me it’s just the start, i’m going to concentrate on getting my town really sorted out and i’m still disappointed in the fact that i’m still only using a GR 11 sword, yes I get GR 12 players doing more damage than me which makes me feel bad.

I’ve been trying fairly hard to get my last Aged Dragon Skull for the Witchblade but no luck on the drops. The other GR12 sword I could get but I need 2 Fire Dragon Skulls+ which again I cannot get due to the fact hardly anyone runs this quest anymore.

I will probably continue to run King Of Dragons 3 whenever I get the chance in the hopes that I will eventually get the Skull needed for the Witchblade. I’m not too worried about getting hold of the Witchblade as i’ve heard it requires more Skulls to upgrade it.

I would settle for the Kingslayer which is another GR 12 Katana with a starting attack of 178, against the Witchblade that has a starting attack of 182 that’s not that much difference but again can’t find anyone running the quest. I’d like to get the Kingslayer which would then enable me to bind that into the Ethereal Blade which is another Katana with a starting attack of 181. I prefer this option as it seems everyone uses the Witchblade and I like to be a little different.

In the meantime i’ll be running any quests including GR1 quests to get items I missed earlier in the game so I can get the 450 bind item trophy, some earlier quests also hold items needed for creating job parts in my town.

Well, so far so good, i’m happy with everything apart from the weapon i’m using but hopefully that will change soon. Have upgraded a lot of armor, I have the full set of Shadow Armor apart from the Gauntlets, and I have most of the Bloody Armor apart from the Cuffs, I also have managed to get some Hellion Armor but that needs upgrading more, it’s all GR 12 stuff but even so i’m still having to wear Centurion Fists which is GR 10 for the strength and also Valiant Cuissess for the extra strength, that is GR 11 armor so not everything is cool.

Ok so i’ll be off to get some serious work done on my town, which means i’ll have to quest a lot to get the money needed, everything costs a fortune and money isn’t too easy to come by, I spent a million guilder last night upgrading my town to level 10 and recruiting a few level 10 residents.

Feel free to post me some tips if you have any or ask for help if you need it. See you on the battlefield.

Well today I re-incarnated for the third time. Thanks to some decent help from other WKC players I managed to get the items required to get hold of a nice little shortsword called the Demonsword, there is also a longsword with the same name but I don’t think I can get that for a while yet which is why I decided to rebirth a third time so I can learn the shortsword skill.

A tip for anyone re-birthing or re-incarnating is on level 35 you can quickly achieve level 36 by doing the Boot Camp 1 quest in Balastor Plain, once you hit level 36 you can go onto Boot Camp 2 which will gain you levels fairly quickly, especially if you have upgraded a few decent weapons.

When I first re-birth I use the Castleguard armor which is fine for that level, I use the Grandsword for level 35 which is more than enough but as soon as I hit level 36 I then equip my Ornate Greatsword, i’ve enhanced this weapon to it’s max of 10 so it gives a whopping 115 Attack with an extra 23 HP and +4 STR and VIT -10, losing 10 on VIT isn’t a big deal at this stage as your just trying to get back to level 50 as quicky as possible, this sword has also been enhanced with water element so it’s ideal for Big Red 2 mulitplayer as soon as you hit level 41.

You can get hold of Arcanum Earrings from the shops and that increases your MP by 30 which is handy but you lose 30 HP which again is no big deal at this point.

Level 43 see’s me change into the Earth armor but I change my weapon at level 41 to the Evil’s Bane longsword, this one has been enhanced 8 times which gives an attack of 130 MAG 10 HP +17 STR+2 with VIT -16, this weapon is ideal to get you all the way to level 50 or you an choose to equip the Arondite at level 49 if you have it, this one is my favourite longsword and has an attack of 145 HP +11 and INT+4, this weapon is a little harder to get your hands on.

This time around i’m going to try out my new Demonsword and once i’ve upgraded as much as I can with this weapon i’m going to see how it stands up to my favourite longsword.

The shortswords don’t have the same kind of attack strength as the longsword but i’m betting it may just be a better option as you can hold a shield too because it’s a one handed weapon, i’m hoping that by upgrading both shield and sword it will probably even out but maybe the shortsword will outshine the longsword because you should be quicker, more agile and hopefully have a chance of better combo options, I will update as and when I find out.

I’ve changed my Georama town completely to try and achieve farming more of the rarer items needed for upgrading so instead of having a few residents of each trade i’ve just selected warriors and minors, this has put my stats up a lot compared to when I had something of everything and i’m farming much rarer items compared to my previous town.

Remember if any of you need some help either to get your guild rank up or get some S ranks for quests you haven’t managed to get yet just let me know and i’ll help out where I can.
