ffffffff (work save ver)

The Guillotine Cross

- Ultimate journey from character creation to the end

Many people argue about which class is the best.

But most of those mentioned cases require MVP cards and gears that is just out of reach for the majority of players.

I myself personally made GX after nearly all other characters. 

Only reason? is to farm zeny to get the gears that I wanted for my RK.

After my first GX creation, I just had so much fun making it as well as so pleased with the result

I sold all my ranger gear, which at that time was my main, and devoted to GX.

After that, my VIP account is now filled with GXs as well as my 3other account all hold at least one GX.

I use my GX for farming instance dungeons, MVPs, TIs, hack even Bio4(although with some restrictions)

Many people have some wrong notion that GX is an expensive character.

But up to a level when it can solo farm: 

OGH, Hazy Forest, Low, Mid, HighTi (with some limitation), Nidhog, Nogg Road, MVP summoner

Ghost palace, Jitterbug, Faceworm queen and many more

GX by far the cheapest in terms of gear, only needing 3core items

1. Thanatos Katar

- Refine rate, Higher the better but it is not absolutely necessary

- You can even farm it yourself at Ghost palace starting from Level 120

2. Elemental Armors 

- You will need quite a few but all of them are necessary, regardless of class, with the exception of breath RK which will need even more expensive item than all the elemental armor combined.

- I personally use slotted cotton shirt with enchant made during tutorial but any other is also fine

3. Some kind of SP/HP replenishing mean

- This can range from Snowier Accessories to Witch pumpkin hat for HP, anything you can reduce the cost of pot is always great, spamming condensed white is not a wise thing to do.

- Some kind of SP leeching item, Rideward Hat is great, Incubus Pet is great as well.

Only with those three mentioned items you can manage most of the instances at reasonable level. 

You don't have to be 175 to run the instances and start farming. 

Also do not separate farming and leveling. Both can be done the same time.

To give some taste of what to expect here is the Montague.

- This guide is to level up and farm with minimum gear possible. 

- Zeny required total including all the consumables, gears, and etc. 
will not exceed 400m zeny

(can be done for less, this is very generous guess)

- This guide demonstrates a way of leveling for those who have some zeny. 

(total cost of leveling from novice 1 to 100 GX was about 8m for the consumables)

- This guide is best for the player who is looking for 2nd or 3rd character

(for total fresh player, I would suggest making Priest first to get some zeny before beginning the GX)

CHAPTER. 1 

- the Novice

You will spend hours and hours on character name.

After such a labor you will be stepping on the Harbor of Izlude

Leave the ship

Ignore that giant Moose. 

It gives nothing of significance. 

The first quest

Talk to the men first and do what he asks.
and then talk to the guard next to him.

You will be asked to visit 3 points around Izlude town. 

Pay attention to these places. 

You will be crying in those corners a lot.

Once done, back to guard again.


Over that bridge, you will be entering the Criatura Academy.

Once done, back to guard again.

Over that bridge, you will be entering the Ciratura Academy.

On the way, nice lady over here will give you AGI up skill.

For 3 minutes you will run like the Flash. 

Once inside, talk to the receptionist.

She will kindly hand you over 300 potions that will be used for long long time

 To left side of the room

Ask him to teach you the first aid skill.

And also do the red herb quest for exp.

You will meet your rival here just like you would in Pokémon game.

He is enter spam friendly so spam enter and be done with him.

Also, if you talk to the grad student who passed out after the final, he will teach you the

ultimate skill.

Pretend dead.

Now back into the academy and talk to Mainz who is one the right side of the room

from the Receptionist.

You can kind of enter spam him but remember to talk to him twice, but on second time

You have to choose the latter option about eating his food.

Back to center hallway, walk up a bit and turn left

You first, talk to Attribute Expert and ask about experiencing the element.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT and YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THEM FULLY.

DON"T RUSH PAST THIS PART.

Usually, there are lots of high level gxs hanging around here, so ask them about attribute etc as well

Once done understanding the Attribute, talk to the guy on the left top.

He will eventually warp you to another place, where you tame the baby poring.

Don't open it or anything, we are going to sell it for the money.

Now go back to receptionist again, and down right there is stairs leading up to the 2nd floor.

Go up and walk up the hallway, you will see the signs.

Check them. until you reach the thief class room (which is on the left side)

Inside you will find your annoying rival again but before meeting this annoying little *Blur*

Talk to all three instructors first and just choose all options at least once.

Now you have thief manual, equip it as he would say and check your etc skill tab.

You will find envenom, steal.

Put them on a shortcut and talk to that annoying rival.

He will challenge you to a dual but you will kick his ass.

(You will want to put all stats in dex to maximize the steal chance).

(There is a chance of fail, if you don't have dex, chance is quite high)

(Don't be alarmed as nothing happens and your SP decreases, it is normal)

Once you done all your quest here, exit the Academy.

There is 2 route you can take from here.

1. Who have some means to kill mobs fast (i.e., equips from other characters)

Go to Step 3

2. If you are brand new or like to take things slowly can 

start from Step 1.

STEP.1 

on the right button side of Izlude there are these slackers

STEP. 2

Talk to them in the given order and you will gain exp. 

then move to 7 o clock side. 

Also these two cats as well.

Left bottom one is the first cat to talk to.

And then talk to the top one.

They all give exps so by this time your level should be around 

Base 6 and Job 9.

If not, go back to step. 1  

Don't just enter spam.

STEP. 3

Talk to the shop girl.

You have to choose the latter options in her dialogue. so chose it carefully.

She will ask you to buy red potion.

So go inside the shop on her left.

Sell everything except the weapon/armor/potions/flywing/butterfly wing/ 

eg. Things like taming item, pet egg, incubators and so on.

*DON"T SELL THE COTTON SHIRT AND DAGGER. 

*YOU CAN"T PROCEED TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THE QUEST WITH CATS IF YOU DO SO.

If you talk to her again, she will give you another quest, which is selling a tin can do that and you are done for basic quest.

by this far you should be able to reach job level 10 eligible to job change.

If you are here yet, your job level is not 10 but can't be bother to go back.

move to the optional step.

OPTIONAL STEP

If you have chosen to bypass step 1 and 2 which do take a while to talk to all the npcs.

you can just step outside of Izlude through 8 o' clock portal and kill the mobs outside. 

This is only recommended if you have gears to kill most of them by one shot.

This is Rocker, which is east east of Izlude. we will come back here later also.

Weapon I used here was +9 Main Gouache with 4 Zipper bear card.

4 Andre card work just as nicely.

Make either one of that, and you will have a breeze when making new characters.

This concludes our Novice part of the journey. 

Try using Butterfly wing which will take you back to Izlude town.

!!!JOB CHANGE!!!

- The Passage

Back to Criatura Academy and to the thief class room again, if you talk to the center girl

she will turn you into the thief.

now you are no longer able to use thief guide book. so sell it to npcs.

Optional step

If you go back to cat at 7 o clock in Izlude with your new received weapon

The cat will enchant it for you for free.
So you can enchant it until you get the option you want.

Max stat option is 

+3 and +3 of any stat.

for thief AGI/DEX/STR all good options

CHAPTER. 2 

- The Thief

At this stage, there are two options to choose from.

If you think you can't take rocker go to Eden.

You don't have to write real IGN, you can type anything. 

Sign up in with the eden which will give you the battle manual and agi/bless scrolls.

don't use them now but save them for later.

Walk up the stairs on right bottom corner

Go up the 2nd floor of eden, then you will see the following

These are quizs. 

All can be answered with some googling but is somewhat time-consuming and boring.

So I tend to skip it.

However, if you absolutely need the few extra level to kill Rocker, this is the way to go.

Our main hunting ground until level 12 will be the Rocker.

When choosing the appropriate hunting ground, there are 3things to consider.

For finding the info about the mob use sites like 

http://db.irowiki.org/db/monster-info/1052/

Things that concern us are highlighted above.

From now on get a habit of always searching a monster database before engaging.

Don't just go somewhere because someone says so. 

Everyone's item is different therefore most efficient hunting ground varies greatly.

There is no good in suggesting water based dungeon to someone who only have fire element skill or weapon. 

It always come down to you to judge where to visit and its efficiency.

Also, keep track of accumulated loot and EXP over 10min period.

1min is too short to make good data, anything more than 10min is too long to be consistent.

Make your personal database.

Things to look for when finding the right place to hunt. (at low level)

- The level of the mob (15level higher or less than you, you will get penalized)

- The 100% hit requirement

(You don't have to be over that limit but anything less than 80% of that value is undesirable. 

I personally would not go below 90%)

- The element they are weak against.

(For example, Rocker is earth element, therefore, weak to fire. 

If you have fire main gouache or would like to use fire converter, it will do higher damage.

(which won't be necessary at all... but if you wish, you can use them)

-Also, at the bottom of the page you will see the map that they are spawned.

press ~ in your keyboard (beside number 1) to see the map

For now, it is east east of Izlude.

They are one shot by any decent kind of weapons such as 
4 andre carded Main-gouache.

But even if you don't possess a such a weapon, just take things slowly. 

Kill some, sit down enjoy the view and kill again.

COLLECT THE GRASSHOPPER'S LEGs you WILL NEED 20 OF THEM FOR BACKSLIDE SKILL

Once you reach level 12 at Rocker we will move to the next zone

Now all the hunting ground suggestion will be diverted 

But screenshot will only include the path I took, which you need some gears

1. Budget route = Roda Frog (west west west of Prontera)

2. Fast route= Poison Spore (East north of Geffen)

For poison spore

I highly suggest getting HP increase large potion which boost about 3000HP 

making you nearly unkillable at this level.

Also marine spore carded accessory (known as blast clip) with some SP item will speed up your leveling significantly.

You rarely have to use HP pot because you will level up before your 3k HP pool is depleted

Farm Spores and Creamy, Smokie cards.

If you get lucky you can earn more than what you spent on strawberries.

Once level 20

you can either go for elder willow which is one map north of poison spore

or could go to Payon cave 1.

Both are equally fast but Payon cave has more mob so if you were to utilize blast clip

go for Payon cave, otherwise elder willow.

Elder willow will give you valuable dead branch which you could vend to people for zeny.

1hour farming will get you around 20~30 depending on your luck and VIP status

22k each at chaos server (as in 8/01/2016) so you will earn about 440~660k an hour

Which makes up for more than the pot you will spend there.

To those who have some zeny to spend, Leaf cat hat, and Costume goggle is not just a vanity item. 

VIP with leafcat+C.google.+exp boot gives a lot of exp boost. so much so with non vip friend

you will be out of party exp share range within 1hour of gameplay. 

Earth delete carded armor (soul collector) is great item for leveling melee character

as it significantly reduces the SP use (I'd rather suggest however the undead knight F carded garment for even greater SP gain. with that at low level you will never run out of SP)

Also temporal boot which is just 1 crystal per boot.

Higher the refine the higher the HP/SP boost, at a low level that boot helps a lot.

Lastly. ASPD boosting FAW with DR card will increase the survivability. 

Much more so than the immune. 

So, if you can afford it. DR garment is a great item to keep in in the arsenal. 

However, all these items are not absolutely vital for GX. 

These are items that are just nice to have.

I started my gx with elemental carded cotton shirt and 5Chakram. 

As I did, you can farm 2~3billion in a month or less, so just be patient.

Things to look for is the dex. I have HIt boosting item so dex is lower. 

However, if you don't possess the HIt boosting item, make sure you have enough dex for the

Orc warrior and Orc lady. which we will be meeting once you reach level 30.

Once level 30. 

Get a teleport from Kafra at Geffen(if you are a vip)

If not, you really would like to make a quick acolyte with warp skill to memo this place.

This place is very very far to walk.

Same applies here as well. Use the blast clip. 

Recommended item here would be Witch Pumpkin hat or any other healing boost item.

Undead knight F garment for SP.

HP increase Large and SP increase Large potion with some emergency strawberry.

Stay in the field until level 40 and then move into the orc dungeon and repeat.

Job changing to assassin can be done at anytime after job level 40.

For non trans you will hit job level 50 way before your base level hit 99.

Therefore, it might just be wiser to job change early and enjoy the boosted HP/SP.

BUT

BEFORE going off to job changing you have to learn the backslide.

You will need 20 grasshopper leg which I asked you to keep at level 10

Go to Morroc 

go out to the 11 o clock portal 

And then 11o clock again.
You will find the pyramid dungeon

Inside

Only thing for the skill is to hand over the grasshopper leg

Once you got the back sliding skill.

Put it on the skill tab

!!!JOB CHANGE!!!

- The Stairway

IRO Wiki has laid it out very nicely so refer to their guide here.

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Assassin_Job_Change_Guide

To give some ideas on skill before the job change.

Vital skills are 

10: Double attack / Improve dodge / Envenom

5: Steal

2: Hiding 

1: Detoxify

Rest is your choice to put. If you were to job change at job level 40

You will have 1 skill point left to spend anything is fine.

This map is morroc south east south east east.

Take lots of fly wings/ lots of potions

You will be using lots of fly wings so be aware.

There are three stages in job changing quest

1. Questions

2. Annoying Target Practice

3. Maze
Forgot to take screen shot lol

CHAPTER. 3

- The Assassin

  

Go back to orc dungeon to train until you've reached level 56.

Once you are level 56 quickest way to level up is the eden collection quest.

This quest just asks you to collect certain items.

But this items, you don't have to collect it yourself.

- I usually set up a buy vend for items the day before. 

- I usually use the sticky webfoot for best moeny/exp but other collecting item works just as fine

Pop open an old battle manual when turning in this quests.

You will use far less sticky webfoot.

For non-trans you will be using about 500~800 

For trans you will be using 1000~1600k

Once all done you will be level 71. 

56~71 in 15min. Alternate route is to go to grove at level 40

Our main target is Harpy which is wind property therefore high flee

allocate dex according to iRO database

according to iRO database

http://db.irowiki.org/db/monster-info/1376/

100% hit is 322 for each level you are given 1 hit.

So your hit target should be somewhere around 310 for now.

But be conscious about next area of interest. 

Our next target is dark priest which has 358 flee and we will be moving around at 83~85

So your target hit should be around 340~350 by the time you are level 85.

eg. 310 hit at level 71 

level 85 will give you 14 hit bonus making your hit 324 

But the target hit is 340 so you need to put at least 16 dex point while you level.

(There is job level bonus dex. But don't rely on it.)

Or find an item to boost hit.

(I would suggest well chewed pencil, for the money it boost your hit the most)

Harpy's attack is wind element therefore, we will be using a wind armor.

Slotted cotton shirt with Dokebi card works. 

For now, however, wind armor is not vital by all means but you will need it eventually. 

what I would suggest will be Aebecee's Raging Typhoon armor with Marc card.

aka, unfro wind armor. This armor is indeed pricey.

But you will definitely be going to need one for high TI, Baphomat (both regular and one met in endless tower) and many other scenarios.

One benefit of having such an armor is now you can use snowier clip and ice cream to heal.

Snowier clip is very cheap compared to any other means of healing boost item.

If you equip 2 snowier clip (will be addressed as sweet clip)

It heals as much as WPH + Pumpkin or Ranked white condensed potion.

But why isn't everyone using one? 

Two reason. 

1. There is chance of being frozen when consuming the ice-creams.

(If you hit by monster it will break the ice but is annoying)

2. Ice cream is not that easy to buy. 

You either have to go to jawaii (you have to be married to get inside) 

or you have to buy 5 at a time form in Brasillis

These limitations can be overcome, ask your guild member to buy it for you or get married etc. 

However, if you can't afford the luxury of which pumpkin hat or Rudolf or fish in mouth

Snowier or Hell poodle(uses meat) accessories are thing to look out for.

Grab bounty board; for now, just grab harpies. 

It is not that efficient to carry all elemental converter for every mobs because mobs here are all aggressive(apart from Goat which is passive) and they are mixed in the map.

It is a waste to switch the elemental converter before time runs out. 

So just buy earth elemental converters and head one map south of Juno.

There we will crush the puny harpies.

Depending on your stat and equip, choose the lowest possible level for the sonic blow.

Lower the level, less SP it will consume. If you couple it with the undead knight F garment.

You basically never run out of sp if you use level 6 or less.

Once 83

we will move to our good old comfy cozy Glast heim.

by now you would have guessed that you will need a secondary account for your warper.

that is why warpportal allows you to make 3 accounts with your one email account.

meaning yes you will need all 3 accounts.

1. main account

2. secondary account for warper/buffer/etc

3. tertiary account for vending while you hunt 

every sensible RO player should have all three account running at all time while playing the game.

For computer hardware / lagging issue

I have done some experiment in this matter and things that help with the multiclient lag issues are as follows.

Test bed.

Intel i7 5820K @4.5Ghz

16GB RAM

SATA3 SSD

GeForce GTX 970

Win10 Pro 64bit

1. More CPU the better

For RO at least, physical cpu core count is more important than pure performance. 

CPU like AMD FX6300 and 8320 with 6 and 8 core each will outperform mighty

intel i7 6700k and such which only have 4 physical cores. 

but if you are ok with spending some money.

Go for something like

intel xeon e5 2699v3 with 18cpu cores.

At 3.0Ghz for intel 5820k

2 client per CPU = total of 12 clients ran relatively Ok.

At 4.5Ghz

I could not feel any difference in performance except when I was casted with a confusion spell.

At 3.0Ghz confusion made stutter, yet at 4.5Ghz there was no stutter at all even with 12 client

2. Disable Hyper Threading. 

Hyper threading on Intel core i7s will cause a lot of lag on 2nd or 3rd client.

Disabling them is much more beneficial.

If HT is on, 5820k will struggle with 3 clients causing extensive lag.

3. Launch in full screen mode.

Although it is better and easier to swap around client if you run it on windowed mode.

it is known to cause some issues with a modern graphics card (especially GeForces).

4. Better GPU does not help at all.

Tested

GeForce

8800gtx (tested on win7)

750Ti

GTX 970

Radeon

2770 (tested on Win7)

4850 (tested on Win7)

5870 (tested on Win7)

R7 250

All made 0 difference except for some older cards were bit unstable.

5. SSDs do very little.

Even tested on RAM disk made near 0 difference.

6. Pause Anti-Virus program especially that monitors the internet traffic.

Kaspersky internet security 16.0.0.614 build cause significant loading lag.

Whenever you use fly wing or cause loading screen.

It will put it to near dead stop.

To Glast Heim

To survive here, you really need deadly armor.

Deadly armor is evil druid card in slotted armor.

It isn't particularly expensive card and also you could hunt Evil druid yourself from here.

Starting from level 71 after Eden collection quest.

the benefit of deadly armor is that you are undead property.

meaning you are near immune to all shadow property attack.

Also you are immune to most foul status such as freezing status.

From Evildruid HP pool is too much for you to get by with sonic blow.

If you have buffing priest, using Aspersio will make your life million times easier.

Also, from level 85 consider joining low Ti as a puller.

But unless your party is amazing. don't stick around after you've complete 400 counts.

As a puller, most of the times consumable spent per exp gain is not great.

At level 91 you can start 91~99 Eden quest from Eden 2nd floor notice board.

but for non trans character, 91~99 quest is not very efficient as you need a party as well as 3 warpers to memorize all the necessary warps.

(more on this later)

Desert wolves are also a nice place to be with mass killing with Grimtooth. 

However, needed hit is quite high as well as the delicate control needed may not for everyone.

At level 95 you can go to magmaring. which is quite far but warp memo able map.

At this level, passive fire property mob with 2.5k exp is a bless.

There is no other place for given effort per exp that comes even close to the magmaring.

Coupled with water converter it is a great place to be.

If you don't mind the price of consumables and have Aspersio slave Niflheim is also great.

You will benefit from deadly armor in all three places.

However, if you are planning on using a buff slave wear evil armor instead.

Because while wearing undead armor, you will not be able to receive most Priest’s buff.

You cannot be healed, Resurrected, or Aspersio and many more.

However, for Evil Armor, you will still be immune to shadow attack but you will not be immune from harmful status such as sleep or being frozen or stone cursed.

Yet, still enjoy the lovely buffs and heal from a priest.

In magmaring annoying plant will cast sleep and stone curse

by using deadly armor, you can mitigate that.

If you choose to utilize the buffer, fire armor is the better bet.

!!!Trans!!!

- To Valhalla, shiny and chrome

This is what stat/skill looks like when I reached 99.

This is just for the record and vague idea.

Needed hit always take precedence over the what i actually have.

I have shadow ancient armor which boost 20hit so take that into consideration.

But before rushing off to Juno

Visit Prontera buy about 10 level 6 mercenary scrolls.

Other mercenaries are also fine but have to be at least level 6 or higher equivalent as well as needing an AOE skill.

Don't forget to buy many mercenary red potion as possible.

For VIP you can have up to 2000 weight when you trans.

If you are not a vip, buy potion with your secondary account and drop it on the ground once trans.

You can purchase the potion after the trans but you cannot purchase the level 6 Scroll after the trans. 

Mercenary will run away if you die. Be extra careful.

Key items to have before trans.

1. Butterfly / Fly wings

2. HP increase Potions

3. Healing potions of some sort

4. Mercenary Scrolls

5. Mercenary Red potion (mercenaries don't really need blue potions)

6. about 200k~1m zeny

7. Novice equip able items

mines are

Shadow gears /costumes

main gouache with zipper bear

Fallen angel wing

Peco headband / Leaf cat

Hiding Clip (smokie card)

Once you got, basic gears needed for your novice endeavor head over to Juno

and refer to the following guide

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Rebirth_Walkthrough

Show me the book and I will let you live

I fell asleep while reading that

From book to here is a straight line so BACK SLIDE!

In 4 way intersection, it is always the left side.

THE THREE WAY , the middle is the right way

BGM: 

Don't rush here if you go into any other portal than the middle one,

which you can easily step into if you don't mind your step.

Grab that heart

YOLT (you only live twice)

BGM:

CHAPTER. 4

- Back Home

I forgot to take screen shot of this but basically, go to Orc Dungeon,

Yes, the orc dungeon.

before going inside

1. Drink HP increase large potion.

2. Use mercenary scroll. right click on him in skill shortcut the brandish spear

3. Go in, run try not to die, but with HP increase pot it is rather hard to die if you have eyes

4. 4~5 brandish spear later your job level will be 10.

time to go job change to Thief.

But this time instead of Criatura academy, we are going old school.

Back to pyramid

To thief guild where you got your back sliding skill.

But this time, to the left and talk to that girl.

Yes, nowadays even thieves want your resume and interview before letting you steal.

You should be less than 25years old with 10 or more years of experience in the field like all the other companies.

Back to Orc dungeon

Get hiding skill as soon as possible and use it while you drag a bunch of mobs.

It makes your life so much simple.

If you notice the time on the screenshot, it only took, 1hour to get from level 1 high novice to 56/50.

This wasn't really a hardcore gaming mode, all the chatting with friends, watching movie on my 2nd monitor.

If you buckle down and concentrate it will be quicker

once 56/50 back to Juno

This time if you manage to finish the book without falling asleep, you will be teleported.

Nekomimi is LOVE!

CHAPTER. 5

- Assassin Rises

Once again, stats and skills are references only.

After giving eden lots of sticky webfoot, this is what should look like.

once again, pop open that old battle manual before turning in the webfoot.

Now about enchant deadly Poison.

Assassin is all about the EDP.

Without EDP we are nothing. 

EDP is single the most powerful buff in RO. It is as powerful as having a MVP card.

so USE THEM

Thing is the poison bottle is 20~25k a bottle for 1minute. 

People are very concerned about the price and saying it is just too expensive.

If you did keep the data book as I told you to, you will notice that by using EDP you use less money per level per time.

As you kill significantly faster, you get hit a lot less and not to mention you don't have to use converters. (you still can, if fast leveling is your only concern)

And kill all the mobs around juno.

Harpies, Goat, Sandman will all kneel before you.

Especially the sandman will be good source of zeny as well.

With EDP

Without EDP

Now, once your level is 85

we don't go back to Glast heim,

rather we are off to low Ti.

Now this is where it gets tricky. 

As I can't foresee the future, I can't really tell which mob will be in Ti in the future.

so i can't give you tips on what to wear.

Use all the cumulated knowledge. 

HIt required and most importantly, the element of mob's main attack skill.

Element of mob doesn't always match the skill of the mob.

You should wear armor according to attacking skill element not the element of enemy.

But as we are going to use meteor assault attacking element doesn't matter so much.

Meteor Assault casting WILL BE CANCLED IF YOU GET HIT

so get a phen, or much cheaper bloody butterfly card.

DON'T USE EDP WHEN USING METEOR ASSAULT.

IT WILL NOT BOOST THE DAMAGE

My dex is very low due to my gear, don't think this as a norm.

Your dex realistically should be around 60 to get that 340~350ish HIt

If you see the big party with String, take a break inside.

Be amazed of how powerful you've become.

Skill shown here is the must have skills. 

Rest is all optional but to give some ideas.

1. You want to max out steal. As you will use it to farm stuff also in ghost palace instance dungeon stealing is very important.

2. Cloaking is also nice to have as you need it for nidhoggur (different application from cloaking exceed)

3. You will hardly use any of attacking skill from Assassin Cross once you are GX

4. Enchant poison in long run is great as many of the mobs are weak against poison.

Choice is yours.

This is my finalized stat/ skill.

!!!The Job Change!!!

- The day of all days

  

Always refer both iRO wiki and my guide for accuracy.

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Guillotine_Cross_Job_Change_Guide

Before we begin.

Save your character at Veins (take airship from Izlude to Rachel and take warp from Rachel)

Warp memo needed at 3points

1. morroc pub

/navi morroc 45/107

2. GX guild

/navi veins 254/255

3. Rachel (optional)

/navi Rachel 115/76

then leave your warper at the veins respawn point.

wear pecopeco band if you have one

20 or more butterfly wings

Quest itself is very interesting like you are really an assassin.

Quest starts with the hidden order from guild member.

You follow a story line which you gather intel and ambush.

As a finale you are ordered to take direct action.

Infiltrate and eliminate the target followed by Exfil.

So if this is the first time you've ever done a GX job change I strongly recommend

taking your time and play James Bond.

First talk to guy in morroc pub (warp memo 1)

once done, butterfly wing back to veins

Take a warp to gx guild

From here and after, right answer for most multiple choices are last choices.

But refer to IRO wiki and if there is answer that is the answer.

If not choose the last options

NON OF THEM ARE ENTER SPAMMABLE.

IF YOU SCREW UP THE CHOICE, IT CAUSE A LOT OF TROUBLE.

DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

Each time you finish talking to the npc, just use butterfly wing to jump back to middle of the map. 

/navi veins 291/214

/navi veins 230/162

/navi veins 148/216

Peddler Screen shot is mssing

but

/navi veins 184/142

At the end of Old man's conversation you have to do the guessing game.

If you enter spam and miss this, you have to go back to the gx guild and do it over.

/navi veins 231/125

/navi veins 226/180

Now the step 14 in IRO wiki says you have to go back to the guild but you don't really have to.

My tip for this step 15 is to go there before the deadline and sit at the exact spot.

Check your quest tacker which will give you the time at the bottom in red.

Once time is up, stand up use cloaking

And with some luck you will catch her right away.

My experiecn varies from 9 hours to 1 try. 

Once snatching the target.

Back to the guild.

Check your quest tracker again for the timeline.

/navi veins 206/55

This time again you will use EDP

This quest is clearly meant to use EDP. 

Use them and it will be easily defeat able. 

This is good time to pop open that bless/agi scroll from eden.

Use Warp memo 3 or Kafra(long blode haired men is Kafra in this part of the world) to Rachel.

/navi rachel 115/76

THIS PART IS NOT ENTER SPAMMABLE BECAREFUL

/navi rachel 61/37

Right choices are as follows (i am writing this off my memory so along those lines)

1. Do you know this key

2. I Picked it up

3. I am going to find the owner

4. That's enough

Back to GX guild

As step in 22 in iro wiki says there are 2 possible position.

But I think it only give rachel one because out of nearly 10 GXs I made, 

I never even once had the other choice.

You might have to keep talking to the NPC as only one person is allowed in at a time.

Here is my video on how to do the last part

M will access your quality of work. if everything went as planned you should receive the perfect score.

Go across the hall

Tadaaa

CHAPTER. 6

- To infinity and beyond.

The first thing you want to do after you've become GX is to max out Rolling cutter skill.
Unlike most other classes whose main skills only unlocks after long skill tree, Rolling cutter can be learnt right away.
However, it really isn't effective until you max it out at level 5 due to the skill range.
Untill such times, same tactic applies. Meteor Assault.

When you master the rolling cutter you are now eligible for whole new world.

For example

Sara's memory

About the gear.
For sara's memory, this instance is so simple for GX you really don't need to be concerned about the gear.

Headgear:
 Rudolf Hairband http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18671/
 Dark Blinder http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/5104/
 Well-Chewed Pencil http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/5574/

If you have WPH and alarm mask that works perfectly.
Both dark blinder and well-chewed pencils are something great to have.
Thse two items should always be on top of your shopping list.
However just for the Sara's memory, both Dark blinder and well-chewed pencil does nothing as no mob here requires neither high hit nor uses blind.

Weapon:
+7 Chakram http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/1285/
 2 x  Hunterfly card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4115/

People are very concerned about the weapon at 100~110 level.
But the truth is no matter how good or bad your weapon is, damage difference is minute.
All the damage is from the EDP not the weapon it self.
I am using this just because I got this for 9m on vending one day.
Nearly any weapon will do (even eden is fine) Just use the EDP.
Don't ever never spend over 20m on weapon prior to Thanatos Katar.

Armor:
 +4 Cotton Shirt
 Pasana card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4099/
For Sara's memory this armor is same as regular cotton shirt.

Garment:
 +10 Giant Faceworm Snake Skin http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/20718/
 Undead Knight F card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4606/
 Heroic backpack http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/2576/

This is what enables me to spam skills without taking toll on strawberry cost.
Card price is usaully 5m~10m but thing is it is not that abundant.
If you see one for reasonable price don't hesitate.

For Garment itself higher refine the better.
I am using this particular GFSS because I found it for very cheap price.
Unique thing about GFSS is it gets dropped with pre enchanted and pre refined and cannot be modified any further.
This sometimes lead to an item that is very bad for normal use making it cheap.
However, what is important for undead knight card is the refine rate.
Find any garment with the slot that has refine rate of 8+ as cheap as possible.

About the Heroic backpack.
Many concider Heroic backpack to be one of the must have item for GX.
And I do agree on this one. however, the backpack is merely there for easily grabbing the dropped item. not for the option it self.
Save up for to get +0 non carded vanila heroic backpack.
Just teleport around in the TIs to greed. in the right week like when Sccubus and Incubs with some Abyssimal knight and raydric was in MID TI.
In one day, I earned enough to buy 2 more heroic backpack.

Shoes:
I usually wear EXP boot for leveling purpose.
EXP boot will give you 10% extra EXP in return, you will get hit 20% harder.
Here are the full list of EXP cards

Shoe cards that give a 10% bonus

• Am Mut Card – Demi Human
• Ancient Worm Card – Demon
• Christmas Cookie Card – Angel
• Explosion Card – Dragon
• Gajomart Card – Plant
• Gullinbursti Card – Fish
• Iron Fist Card – Formless
• Mini Demon Card – Brute
  • Merman Card – Brute, Archer class only
• Skeleton General Card – Insect
• Zombie Prisoner Card – Undead

Nogg2

For somereason I didn't show gear/ stat but it is identical to Sara's
This time I am getting the benefit from pasana carded cotton shirt.
For nogg at 99~105 level, playing without the help of fire armor is not easy.
If you really could not get enough zeny for pasana card, stick to Low Ti to sell reset stone.


Mid Ti with budget gear

That week was with Naga/ Succubus.
A lot of people gave up because of Naga's waterball.

This is the time when your knowledge will save the day.
This video really is all about how little gears you could have, yet still safely solo the mid Ti.

Headgear:
 Rudolf Hairband http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18671/
 Dark Blinder http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/5104/

Same as before, Rudolf and Carrot providing me with the HP
Dark blinder is there for nothing really, I think i forgot to take it off.

Weapon:
+7 Chakram http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/1285/
 2 x  Hunterfly card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4115/

HF weapon is not essential but it really is nice to have.
If you can spare the zeny, go for any Katar with HF card in it.
But as I said, don't spend over 20m, it is a waste.

Armor:
 Saphien's Armor of Ocean http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/2347/
 Marc card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4105/
This week's nemesis was Naga. http://db.irowiki.org/db/monster-info/1993/
With level 9 water ball it is guranteed death without the healp of the water armor.
Although Marc Card was not vital because Naga does not freeze you.
To run Nidhoggur's dungeon, you will need the Unfro water armo anyways.
Also most level 100+ water proeprty monsters will start to freeze you.
Sooner or later you have to have unfro water armor so might as well start saving up for it now.



Garment:
 +10 Giant Faceworm Snake Skin http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/20718/
 Undead Knight F card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4606/

For users with tight budget, there is very little that can replace this garment.


Shoes:
 Variant Shoes http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/2423/
At around 3m Price point, you can't go wrong with Variant Shoes.
This shoes will be enough for you to wear untill you buy
 +9 Temporal boot with enchant. meanign you will wear this variant shoes until you have enough zeny to spend 1 billion on shoes alone.




Mid Ti with Highend gear

I only did this video just for the sake of comparison.

As it is repeateldly emphasized in the video, damage difference and survivability does not change that much. 


Headgear:
 +12 White Drooping Eddga Hat http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18856/
 +9 Vanargand Helm http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18652/
 Marduk card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4112/
 Dark Blinder http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/5104/
 Jinn Marin Baloon http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18968/

At level 150+ Eddga hat's damage boost is great but the pricing is bit much.
Without the Undead Knifht garment, SP shortage is real problem.
that is why I am switching between vana and eddga.
However, Rideword Hat
http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/5208/
at least for GX, is clear winner.
Only reason I am using the vana is I had vana before starting the GX.

Marduk card in vana helm will drop the re-sale value of vana significantly.
However, I am never going to sell this helm so I chose what was needed for me.
for OGH, I need both Scilence and blind immunity.
Mid gears stays the same.
but for lower, Jinn Marine Baloon, maybe the exception of blood sucker (which I havn't tested personally) Jinn ballon is THE gear for lower.
It has everything you could possibly ever want in lower head gear.

Weapon:
+7 Chakram http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/1285/
 2 x  Hunterfly card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4115/

Again, there is no alternative.
Just some Katar with HF card is good enough, even if you have money to spend.


Armor:
 +4 Nab's Cloth  http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/15039/
Fighting Spirit Enchant.
In the video I have evil amor for some crazy reason.
But in the end, I have full set of elemental nab's cloth all with FS enchant
FS enchant is clear winner for the enchant.
FS not only boost ATK but most important HIT boost is the reason we love FS so much.
One of the biggest reason to choose Nab's Cloth over Sapha is due to FS enchant.
(I will go deeper later about Nab's vs Sapha)

Garment:
 +9 Fallen Angel Wing  http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/2589/
 Deviling Card http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/4174/
Attack delay + ASPD enchant.
I personally prefer the great felxibility of FAW because enchant is guranteed at cost of 1m zeny.
Also people do argue about DR being hit 50% harder by elemental attack but 50% reduction in all other attack apart from few elemental attack makes it unmatched for anyother gears out there.


Shoes:
 +9 Temporal AGI Boot
LD/AD enchant
This boot really comes to life only after having 120 agi.
But lucky day and after delay enchant alone gives great benefits at lower level.
higher ASPD is really great for rolling cutter. (more on that later)


Shadow gears:
 Costume : Rudra's Grace 1ASPD enchant
 +7 Ancient shadow armor http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/24029/
 Costume : Tarnished Lamp http://db.irowiki.org/db/item-info/18921/


Apart from MVP gear, these are pretty highend gears that many would struggle to save up for.
However even with this kind of gear the difference is very minimal.
Not to mention due to lose of Rudolf hat and Undead Knight garment.
I am using expensive white condensed slim as well as strawberries.
Emergency Yggdrasil berries and seed stacks up greately on overall spenditure.
