Did, or can?

If you meant can, it depends on the party you get into. If you choose to solo, you'll need a constant suply of potions and a good map for your level. For a party make sure you're getting the party composition % bonuses (if you don't know how to attain these, let someone who does lead) and make sure everyone is around the same level (exp per kill is divided based on level).

Also make sure you keep up with the equipment and weapons for your level. I recommend you don't put any points into wisdom because (unless you don't pot) you should always be about half way into your mp bar. Until level 30 pump int, then get around 10 mentality.

This is only a suggestion though for stats, you should add whatever feels right for you.

Faster casting speed and higher critcal rate.

Costs will only increase, so preparing for these before they arrive is the best strategy. Every 5th level you get bonus points. Split those points between Men and Wis. You could even put 1 point into Int every level and split any leftovers favoring Men or Wis.

Squire, don't ruin his build...

You need intelligence before ANY other stat, even if you do choose to use wisdom. It increases your heals and damage from illusion quake. Without high INT you're worthless as an ACO.

That’s very true, and it’s also why ratio builds are not suggested till later. I generally suggest starting full int till around lvl 30, then putting a few points on wis if you really feel like it (of course, always keep up with the pow requirement for any new weapon), and then starting a 3 int:1 men build or simply sticking to int till you heal 120+, then going full men till around 12+ men and then you’re high enough to decide what else you want for your char.

I'm not even bothering with WIS or MEN until I hit 66 and turn in to a Cleric.

I find burning though Mana Pots is a perfectly feasible way of levelling, any drops I get during the party or solo levelling session pretty much ALWAYS cover the 14,000 I spend on 140 pots.

this thread (http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34146) could be the answer for you question. ;), and after lvl 30 you should be on a large party to gather more exp. than soloing, it will be hard for an acolyte to solo at level 30 higher.

Is anyone here who solo leveling, gather a decent amount of exp at lvl 30+? can anyone show me how to do that:confused:

btw i'm not a pro so don't take my advice seriously.

So, if you're lvl 50+ and have been putting all points on int, you should be easily healing by now around 150+ HP per heal (maybe even getting closer to 200), but all the mob you would normally train on (scourging or maybe other things closer to eir) at best tend to hit for 80+ damage and still do it so slow that you can easily throw two heals in there while they just hit once (which means you can easily heal someone who has two or even three mobs on them). Therefore, increasing your int even further would just be a waste, as you would anyway be usually healing quite less than you can actually heal. In the other hand, with just around 12 men, you could easily buff your whole party on a lower time it would otherwise take and distribute heals amount plenty of party members a lot faster, so in the end you would be much efficient at supporting and even more useful if the party gets mobbed.

Yah, I got good exp when solo at 30+. Partied most of my time 30-40 though, but then I begun to solo again at 40-45. Mostly north of CV.

200 with level 3 Minor Heal. No point in MEN yet, the people I party with get hit for so little that there is no need for it. And I keep an eye on the buff timer and am able to rebuff before it even runs out. INT also increases MP regen so getting 25 per tick with 7 WIS and 3 Acolyte's Brooch is fine too. I'm not gonna get any MEN until a bit later on, once I have the INT I want.
It's just my playing style really. I hate big parties and keep away from them so I have no reason to spam heal at the moment, not until I reach Cleric.

As for how to level at 30+ solo, I soloed MoonBears 1 South of CandyVault until level 41 from level 30ish.


As for now though I party North of Eir.

Actually, I'm not sure her level, but Muxi solos in the Scourging Plains doing 200+ damage o.o;

I was talking about the damage the mobs do to the chars you will be healing... please, dont take things out of it's context, or they don't make much sense =/

Not really, getting up to lvl 40 is not really hard, even if you solo as aco. The point is being able to find a balance between what you want to achieve with your character and the time you will actually spend to reach it. And remember, with a current max lvl of 79, getting to 40 even in a month of one or two hours of play a day wouldn’t be a bad thing (although for parting, you should at least play 3 hours for it to be worth it xd)

Yup, my overuse of parenthesis and the length of them tends to cut things I write in half, therefore making it harder to understand if you’re not careful xd

Sorry, but I'm the kind of person who trusts no one, so I don’t want people to be able to link my chars with the account that holds them =/

Nothing personal of course, I suppose I wouldn’t mind whispering you as long as you don’t go making it public :p

As for now though I party North of Eir.

what is the buff timer and what does the acolyte's brooch do

Buff timer: how long the buff will have its effect for (3min).
Brooch: adds 1wis to increase your mana pool.

Buff timer: how long the buff will have its effect for (3min).
Brooch: adds 1wis to increase your mana pool.

Adding to this, both buffs or status effects will make an icon appear at the right side of your screen, and it will give you info on said effect if you click it and also shown a timer telling the it’s duration. Therefore, before actually buffing someone in your party, a good thing is to first do it on yourself (if its a big party that plays well and depending on how powerful the mob is, you shouldn't really need bless, just fist up) and then buff everyone else, so by the time the icon shows that it’s about to finish, you can repeat the process of buffing both yourself and everyone else before their buffs are gone.



As for the brooches, you get one when you change to acolyte and you can get more by making more chars into acolytes and trading the items trough the hotel (all chars in one account share the same hotel). Creating a new xenian and making it into a lvl 16 acolyte shouldn’t take more than two or three hours, and by doing it you will not only get a new brooch for your char, but also 50 pots of each type and equips/skills that you can then sell with your main char for a good profit (I would also suggest doing all the easy quests that can be done up to lvl 16 for some easy cash, that you can use to buy more pots to send to your main char). Therefore this process is suggested by the time you hit around lvl 30+, when getting a new lvl will probably take more time (after all, +1 wis is pretty much the same as +1 lvl).
