02 / THE WALKTHROUGH

Step by step

  1. 01

    Energy strengthens magical skill power. Use the Alchemist's wand and secondary elixir, and verify what your chosen skill gains from each piece before buying a replacement.

  2. 02

    Her party support can add a hunting-ground monster in the official system. Try it where the group already clears safely, then observe whether it improves throughput without overloading defenses.

  3. 03

    Run a short, repeatable hunting test. Count deaths, potion use and completed kills before moving to harder enemies.

  4. 04

    Complete the next class quest when eligible, then review the new skills and mastery tree before continuing your build.

03 / FROM THE FIELD

What makes the difference

Extra spawns are helpful only when the group can handle them. A struggling party should fix its damage and survival before increasing the pressure.

There is no universal perfect stat ratio for every gear tier, map and party. Change one part of the build at a time so you know what improved.
