3. 💪 Sub-Character (Barracks) Development Strategy: Efficient Kinah Acquisition
- ✅ Efficiency has decreased due to the barracks nerf, but it is still important.
- ✅ 100% efficiency up to 84 Conquest Dungeons with weekly account sharing, after which efficiency decreases.
- ✅ Transcendence is recommended for the main character, Conquest for 5-6 barracks, and Exploration for 1-2 barracks.
- ✅ Conquest Dungeons are recommended because you can get a lot of additional items.
- ✅ You can acquire Kinah, Famous Painting Fragments, Breakthrough Stone Fragments, Wing Feathers, Unique Items, and Crafting Materials just by running Craw.
- ✅ You can acquire more items by running sub-character dungeons with a 3-person team.
- ✅ Sub-characters are very efficient in the process of raising special understanding.
- ✅ Recommended Classes: Chanter, Spiritmaster, Gladiator (good sustain and easy to level).
- Barracks Leveling Route:
- 1. Purchase level 18 white crafted Oriharukon weapon/garda, full set of accessories from the exchange.
- 2. Purchase level 28 artisan full set of accessories, weapon/garda.
- 3. Purchase level 38 Dain crafted full set of accessories (weapon/garda is optional).
- 4. Prepare 200 Wind Potions.
- 5. Proceed with the main quest and clear the Sealed Dungeon (excluding the Garrison).
- 6. Clear each time the regional quest is unlocked.
- 7. Acquire unique wings/bracelets after completing the level 45 main quest.
- 8. Complete level 45 regional/space-time quests (excluding enemy faction strongholds/garrisons).
- 9. Enhance weapon to +10, the rest to +3, and proceed with Magic Stone crafting.
- 10. Farm unique items by running the Krao/Urgu Bakron Dungeon, and farm Arcana Cards by running the Transcendence Dungeon.
06:48 - 08:06
4. 🚌 Using Buses: Distrust/Transcendence Low-Level Buses
- ✅ Efficiency is expected to decrease from Season 2 due to the limit on the number of times.
- ✅ Free-to-play/low-spending users can use Distrust Buses or Transcendence low-level buses.
- ✅ There is an overflow of bus demand/supply due to the good efficiency of sub-character leveling.
- ✅ Select a bus according to your specs, and request the purchase of materials based on the world exchange before proceeding.
- ⚠️ It is important to proceed cleanly according to your specs so that you don't get into arguments.
08:07 - 09:16
5. 🎁 Participating in the Shugo Festa: Maximizing Odd Acquisition
- ✅ It has a close relationship with the Odd price.
- ✅ The price of basic Odd rises based on the Wednesday reset, so it is good to prepare it in advance.
- ✅ The Shugo Festa is excellent for Odd acquisition (basic Odd confirmed, Seongi Odd probability acquisition).
- ✅ Participation is recommended because the price of Brilliant Odd is expensive.
- ✅ Dimensional Invasion is half the reward of the Shugo Festa, so it is better to do the Shugo Festa with a sub-character.
- ✅ Sub-characters also receive the effect when purchasing a membership, so a lot of keys are accumulated.
- ⚠️ You can feel dopamine and disappointment at the same time due to the strong randomness.
09:17 - 09:46
6. ♻️ Various By-Product Sales Strategies
- ✅ Convert the materials accumulated during various content into Kinah by selling them.
- ✅ Sell Refinement Stones (especially green), Dragonkin Materials (leather, fruit), Breakthrough Stones, etc.
- ✅ The market price of Breakthrough Stones continues to fall, so you can also use the method of selling them when they are expensive and buying them later.
09:47 - 11:47
7. 🛠️ Crafting Sales: Utilizing Supply Requests
- ✅ Earn profit by selling crafted items using supply requests.
- ✅ It is good to craft equipment that overlaps among emergency/weekly requests.
- ✅ Example: Artisan Armor Crafter's Armor (emergency/weekly overlap).
- ✅ Craft a white Oriharukon Cuirass and sell it on the exchange (material cost can be recovered).
- ✅ There is a 25% chance of acquiring a Shining Oriharukon Cuirass when crafting a white cuirass.
- ✅ You can craft an Artisan's Oriharukon Cuirass using the Shining Cuirass as a material (115,000 Kinah based on the exchange).
- ✅ Expect market prices to rise due to weekly request demand.
- ⚠️ Requires initial capital, takes time to sell, and cost-effectiveness decreases when people gather.
11:48 - 12:59
8. ⚔️ Field Grinding & Abyss Grinding: Aiming for Necro Items
- ✅ Field grinding is more about acquiring Necro items than pure Kinah.
- ✅ Abyss grinding has no Kinah/item drop limit, so you can grind infinitely.
- ✅ Unique items dropped in the Abyss are used as tuning materials, just like field uniques.
- ✅ Courage series equipment drops well based on the Asmodian race.
- ✅ The Abyss has risks, but grinding efficiency is high.
- ✅ If you have taken the Corridor, hunt infinitely from the Corridor base, and hunt in places with good monster distribution such as the Sulfur spawn location.
- ✅ You can also acquire Stigma Points.
- ⚠️ Grinding can be accompanied by mental exhaustion.
13:00 - 14:32
9. 🌱 Gathering: Focus on Food/Drink Materials, Ring Materials (Sapphire)
- ✅ Despite the trend of macro/bot crackdown, gathering is not cost-effective.
- ✅ Abyss grinding is recommended.
- ✅ Gather mainly food/drink materials and ring materials (sapphire).
- ✅ Consider the possibility of acquiring higher-level gems for gems.
- ✅ You can acquire 3x for food/drinks, and 6x when abundant.
It is a personal choice how far you will invest in equipment with the Kinah you have worked hard to collect. From Moonlight to Giryong, you can match only the weapon/garda with Apyong and go with Geonyeong for accessories, or save Kinah by wearing Bunmae while combining Moonlight. The process of matching equipment becomes a growth goal and motivation. You can feel the strengthened character in dungeons and raids.
