Life of an Aco until Lv45.

[Sobero]

In my experience, as i get closer to that moment until am able to change my class, heres some things i find around that you may find interesting if you are/thinking of becoming an acolyte,

First off, the word Acolyte if you say it 100 times without thinking anything becomes funny.

Now that that's out of the way,

As a Xenian, getting to lv 16 takes probably 20 minutes.
When you become and acolyte you get 3 spells, Minor Heal (Healing Spell), Illusion Quake (Main Attack) and Sprit (Stunt Spell).

in the same day i can probably level up to 26, That's playing solo for 4 hours.
Note: I was really bored and it was under zero so i coun't go out.

After lv 26, you have probably acquite the buff spells, Bless (+10 def) and Fists Ups (+5 attack and magic)

In the next few days you manage to lv up to 33, and get all your cool new gear (a cooler helmet).

In your way you may have probably noticed that the Acos around you have the ability to heal 100+. This is not a new spell it's just minor heal but they are probably a higher level.

At lv 37 you start Training at candyvault. you party with an archer and they take you east.

you gots to heal heal him and buff him. if you find him getting mobbed, just sprit one of the monsters to make the damage a little less stilll healing him.

by now you have been on several pvp. you notice that Acos are the primary target while your stay at the slaughter games. you will most likely die if you don't have a party, and if you do and suck at supporting you are going to be the first to go after everyone else is gone.

then you notice once your like at the last 2 remaining theres a rogue using invisibility to wait everything out and just finish you off at the last second.

After you level up to 40, leveing becomes harder, probably 20 minutes for 40%. then you realize you can do sidequests and start doing them and notice that some of them give about 1-2 hours worth of xp. and some of them give money.

after you train on the west of CV, you will not be short on money, since most of the loot can sell for 20k on the store alone.

finaly you reach level 43 and get the new shield, and the new weapon look.

Awsome right?
Too bad that your going for a templar.

before you notice it your with about 9 skills, and all the +1 armor for your class and you reach lv 45.

knowing that your doing great you become a templar, after that you realize that if you leveled once more you could have gotten the most reco****ble skill of an aco, Revive.

You start training as a templar and you realize the starting levels suck since now your new at it and don't know were to use your points (Agility/Int Templars are the best)

Out of a rage situation of dying at lv50 at 99.98%xp and keep dying until your down to 12% you deleate your account and start over.

all that time wasted huh?

well that was my friend, I am still and acolyte, guess what? while theres 400/450 templars, 50 will be clerics.

You check the cleric skills, find the Major heal (lv 67)
awsome it's you healing a surrounding area. perfect for pvp and parties.

you also find you gots lv5 Illusion quake.
Awsome damage

Minor heal?
300+ per heal,

Buffs?

lv3-5 and they are awsome

revive?

heck yea

Meditation:

what's that? you can regenerate your MP faster, i mean WAY faster 120mp per 5 seconds i think.

Better choice?

Clerics, they are hard to get, but when you do, you first will be famours for getting that far, probably a handfull become clerics.

people will eventually pay you to join the parties.

Beggings.

PvP?

Owning if your the last one standing.

So now you pick.

Cleric?
Long Way but worth it?

Templar?
Faster way, but eventually changes classes again at lv 80, yet has some verygood advantages even tho it's been overplayed.


Note: you can solo at lv 50+ as an Aco east of CandyVault

So Enjoy it?

Well comment on it.

Heck give me props:D

Bye bye

Agility/Int templars are very much not the best.

Int is worthless to a templar, and power helps templars much more then AGI. Learn your facts before trying to help other people.

[Claiomh.Solais]

I don't think this will be useful for newbies, as they won't really understand half of what you're talking about, but a great read nonetheless, I had a lot of fun with it xd

Also, for the most part very true, though kinda generic in some segments of the aco life. Just thinking about the agi/int disciple makes me lol.

If just more of them made their build like that xD

Have you ever heard of irony, sarcasm and jokes?



PS: btw, I mostly drink coke, though I actually prefer pepsi >_<

[Barkingllama]

I'm sure everyone reading a guide on a character they've never played will get the joke?

Besides I can't agree with any guide that calls one the two classes better then the other.

And when did he say this was a guide?

The topic is called: "Life of an Aco until Lv45."

Then, it begins by saying:
“In my experience, as i get closer to that moment until am able to change my class, heres some things i find around that you may find interesting if you are/thinking of becoming an acolyte, First off, the word Acolyte if you say it 100 times without thinking anything becomes" funny.”

And finally, it's also a poll asking whether you prefer coke or pepsi.

Dunno you, but any person reading this would get that it’s just a feedback and a few jokes from someone who has played the game, there's no reason to take it all so seriously.

It doesn't need a label to be a guide, he is giving people advice on this game which is a guide...

The poll is irrelivent, I'm not sure why you'd bring that up at all.

And yeah, lots of people who are just starting this game would take it seriously. The only time anyone could percieve it as a joke (I'm still not sure how you do exactly...) is if they know otherwise to be true, which then it's all worthless to them.

The poll just adds to the funny of it and to add to the fact that this shouldn’t be actually taken like some ultimate guide xd

And that aside, all he says it’s true till he starts with templars, and even then, the rant about them is not completely wrong (sure, if you cant get the joke behind the agi/int build and actually take it as serious you’re pretty much screwed, but any person who actually gets to lvl 45 and decides to change into a templar should know a few things about the game and be smart enough to read the templar forum on info about them anyway.) After the templars, he then again goes to say real things and when you consider that half of them are just opinions, you can’t really say he's telling something wrong. It’s more funny than it’s helpful, but still he’s not telling lies.

[Barkingllama]

We can only hope a level 45 knows enough to see the difference, but it's possible that it isn't.

As far as I'm concerned if your looking for jokes/general converation, take it to a thread people don't turn to for sincere help.

There's only so much we can do for people, don't blame yourself if someone else is stupid or simply enough, doesn't know how to read or judge.

[Barkingllama]

Not going to blame myself, but my feelings are still the same.

I wouldn't entirely blame an aco for messing up his build as a deciple anyway due to the contrast.

[Sobero]

Do you want a guide?
i made several for Acos,
the fact that you, barkinglama, lv 4x Acolyte answered about 7 questions on another thread, doesn't mean you have to be the moderator of what goes on as a guide and what does.

Besides nowere here did i mention the word guide. this was a short story that an acolyte can relate to, and/or the things many people in this class will face.
in more simplistic words, a FORESHADOWING OF WHATS IT LIKE TO BE AN ACOLYTE, also something for other classes to see how the can relate it to their own experiences or just look at it from the eye of an aco.

that's it. not a guide.

[Sobero]

Coming up an Ultimate guide.

Just for Acolytes tho. no templars, i don't specify for that class.

am going to include everything.
skill list, Training grounds, Parties, Strategies, PvP, Loots and Marketing.

Just for you Llama

:)

[Sobero]

I believe that int, affectes the power of Forceblast.
and Agility, other than making you attack faster adn giving you a better movement, gives you some points on power aswell. i know this cause i had a rogue last OBT

[Barkingllama]

I'm not trying to moderate anything, I'm trying to save people from ruining their builds. I don't have a problem with you, but when you put false information up except people to say something. I mean for goodness sake that guy thought you were kidding and they way you're reacting I'm guessing you weren't.

Int does not affect forceblast, it's a skill not a spell.

Agility doesn't affect moving speed unless you are under rapid step. Agility increases attacking speed, not skill speed, which diciples spam so this is further worthless. Agility also only gives 1 point of attack per 2 points into it, so no it is not better.

And again I'll say this: Just because you don't put the label of guide on this, doesn't mean it isn't. You give advice on how to build a character, which is the definition of a guide.

[Claiomh.Solais]

I soo want a templar with the int/agi build to tell as his/her results xd


So shhh, stay quiet and hopefully someone will do it :D

[Sobero]

Agility Affects

-Power
-Movement Rate
-Recovery Rate
-Attack Rate (makes you attack faster like in my lv 41 rogue it was like .6 seconds for an attack)

[Fessick]

I'm getting ready to make an Aco toon, my first. I came to the forum to seek a guideline for a good build. This is honestly the first thread, so far, that I've looked at. The title caught my attention as it looked like I could get some very good pointers from it, which I have. I didn't see the Agi/Int comment as a joke when I first read it BUT, I didn't intend to look at one thread and base my entire Aco life off of it. I no doubt would have found an accurate suggestion elsewhere. I didn't find any offense in the statement. Overall, I agree, it was a VERY good read. There was A LOT of good info in that post. Barkingllama, I do appreciate you pointing out that Agi/Int isn't a good build choice but, I think you could've done it in a less offensive manner. Remember this is just a game. Nothing here is permanent. If someone wants to have the perfect build the first time around they should be researching everywhere to gather as much knowledge as possible to make the best decisions they can. Sometimes trial and error, living the experience, is the best way to gather that knowledge. Also, just to point out, when you said that Agi/Int isn't a good build you never said what you think is a good build. I'm curious as to why that is. And I am sincerely interested in what you think is a good build. Like I said, this is my first Aco toon. I'm just doing my research. Or perhaps I will read of your opinion in another thread after I post this.

Btw, Barkingllama, love the signature. ;)

That’s according to the game guide on the main page. It's also incorrect.

Agi increases attack (not power) at a slower rate than pow, but still enough for it to be useful.

It increases dodge (at a faster rate than men, the other stat that affects it)

It increases both critical and skills critical (critical at a slower rate than skill critical… Men also increase them both, but at the same rate which could or could not be a rate as high as the skill critical from agi, I haven’t tested that out. The point is, if you want normal critical, you will need men, whereas for skill critical, both will be useful)

And finally, it increases Attack Speed at rate of around 16 or 17 of it (could be less for neos) for a 0.1 difference (so your normal attacks would hit a 0.1 sec faster). Also, this has no effect over the speed of skills, it only affects normal hits (Men is used to decrease skill delay, though it’s not a statistic that can be seen)

I'm not sure what you meant by recovery rate, and for the moving speed, only equips, skills (the skill of neos is affected by agi, so indirectly it affects their move speed) and changing class affects it.

Actually, the int/agi build wouldn’t necessarily be bad for an aco, the point is that it wouldn’t really be good either. I don’t know if it would provide enough evasion to be worth it, though probably not (as neos also use skills to improve their evasion) so sta would be better if you want to survive more, and the attack and attk speed increments would be wasted so only the skill critical could give a hand and for that, men would be better by far.

Actually, that build was provided for disciples (the lvl 45 branch change for an acolyte, that basically makes them a brand new class, as you loose all your previous skills and equips and become a melee type character) but since they don’t use magic in their skills, int would be a waste and the agi could help, though not as much as it would help a neophyte.
