02 / THE WALKTHROUGH

Step by step

  1. 01

    Dexterity improves the class's attack and skill attack in the official class description. Satisfy weapon requirements first, then compare the resulting attack and survival values after investing.

  2. 02

    Choose an area skill for a hunting pack and a focused option for a sturdy target. Keep AG recovery and defense in the test, especially when switching from a low-level map.

  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

Illusion Knight and Magic Gladiator have different scaling and equipment. Their shared sword imagery does not make their builds interchangeable.

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.
