Crystal Saga Mounts Guide

Crystal Saga Mounts Guide

I keep getting asked ingame what my mount is and how I got it... So I thought I'd post up a guide here so people stopped asking haha.

There are a few different types of mounts: solo mounts, battle mounts and 2 player mounts. They all kinda interweave with each other when you upgrade them though.

The first solo mount is the Baby Turtle. You get this for free at level 15 through the MAIN QUEST CHAIN. It is a NON battle mount which means when you get into a fight, you... 'fall off' it and must remount once you have left battle. You can also purchase an un bound version from the Starglade misc item vendor for 1g.

You can upgrade this using Mount Upgrade Tokens into a Black Panther. This is also a solo NON battle mount, but it moves faster and gives much better stats than the turtle. It's stats are actually better than the free level 30 and level 45 mounts as well. It is also slightly faster.
Each ATTEMPT costs 6 tokens which are purchasable through the cash shop or received as special loot from certain bosses.
Expect to use at least 36 tokens before getting your Panther.
However, each time you fail, you gain Stars, which increase your success chance next time.

At level 30, you receive a Rabid Raccoon solo mount for free through the main quest chain. It is also a NON battle mount. You can also purchase this as an unbound mount for 5g from the misc item vendor in Aurora Point.
If you managed to upgrade your Turtle to a Panther, you may now combine this with the Raccoon to create a Mystical Scorpion mount.
Each attempt costs 12 Mount Upgrade Tokens, but you do not lose either of your mounts if you fail!
Expect to use at least 100 tokens before succeeding.
If you only have a Turtle and a Raccoon, you CANNOT combine them! You MUST have upgraded the Turtle to a Black Panther.

The Mystical Scorpion is the first Battle Mount which means you can ride your mount into battle without falling off (unless you get knocked off, which can happen!)
It also gives FAR superior stats to the previous mounts, and is stronger than the level 45 free mount as well, with all stats adding around the 5-6% mark to your base stats. It's also faster than all previous mounts.

At level 43 you receive a free Battle Stallion mount through the optional quest called 'Encouraging the Princess' given by Mapelonia in Celestial Palace Level 2. It is a little deceptive because it is not a battle mount. You can purchase this as an unbound mount for 10g from the misc item vendor in Bloodfang Village. Now, if you managed to get a Mystical Scorpion by combining your Panther and Raccoon, you can now try to combine your Battle Stallion and your Scorpion into a Battle Bear. Each attempt will take 24 Mount Upgrade Tokens, but you will not lose either mount if you fail. Expect to spend 160 tokens or more... It does get progressively worse!

The Battle Bear is the first Quality 2 battle mount you can get. It is considerably better than all the previous mounts, giving nearly twice the stats of the Scorpion and 10 times the stats of the basic free mounts.

Following the Battle Bear, is the Gorilla Titan mount. (Please see Polletp's post on page two for a picture of this mount!) Each attempt at morphing from a Battle Bear to a Gorilla Titan will cost you 36 Greater Mount Tokens. At the moment, these can only be gained through the Item Mall.

Following the Gorilla Titan is the Gryphon mount.

Not sure what comes next but I think the final solo battle mount is the Hellwing.

When I get further than this, I'll let you know which mounts are next in the chain.

2 Person Mounts at this stage can only be found through Dragon Hunt (Red and Black). The Therion Tokens (item shaped like dragon scales) will allow you to exchange for a special mount from Ronna the Adventurer in Tree of Life (level 60+ area). Expect to spend several thousand USD attempting to get one.

Note: Only the Ronna the Adventurer in Tree of Life will exchange these tokens, not the one in Starglade! If you are under level 60 you cannot RUN to Tree of Life, but you can Teleport there from any other town.

If you have a 2 Person Mount (ie. Tiger, Phoenix etc.) you may invite another person to ride with you, or they may ask to ride with you. This will appear in the person's portrait menu when you click them.
The level chain is as follows:
Genbu (10 Therion Tokens)
White Tiger (25 Therion Tokens + Genbu)
Seiryu (75 Therion Tokens + White Tiger)
Phoenix (150 Therion Tokens + Seiryu)
Note: I MAY have gotten the Therion token amounts wrong, but I'm 100% positive on the Genbu haha

FAQ:
How do I level my mount?

Feed it Purified Crystals! Each level will require a larger amount of crystals in order to level up, but you will be rewarded with better mount stats.

Where do I get Purified Crystals for mount food?
These drop from bosses in dungeons. The easiest way to get these is to solo Indigo 5 times a day. You get at least 1 per boss, and it's quite rare that you get none, unless you're much higher level than the boss.

If I level my mount using Purified Crystals, then morph it later, does it retain the levels?
Unfortunately no. When you morph a mount, it is essentially a new mount, and starts again at level 1.

What's the point of added stats when I just fall off the mount during battle? Will they actually add to my char stats?
Once equipped, the stats of your mount count towards your total. Even if you are not actually MOUNTED, they still count as the mount acts as a piece of equipment.

I'm trying to upgrade my turtle, and I have tokens, but it won't let me upgrade it!
Chances are, you don't have enough tokens on you. You do require MULTIPLE tokens to attempt to upgrade, not just 1 so make sure you have enough. Also, higher level upgrades require Greater Mount Tokens which are far rarer than regular mount tokens.

I've invited someone to ride on my 2 player mount and now I don't know how to kick them off!
See your portrait in the top left corner of your page? Underneath that, you see your pet portrait. To the left of the pet portrait when riding a 2 player mount, 3 little buttons appear. One says "Invite" (allowing you to invite another player to ride with you), one says "Dismount" to get off your mount. One says "Kick off" which allows you to get rid of a second player on your mount.

Crystal Saga Knight Guide

Crystal Saga Knight Guide
Retribution Knight

Let me start by saying that I am no expert and this guide is only a reference for a level 60 character also I will thank you if instead of criticizing me you give me suggestions on how to improve.

Basically a Retribution Knight is a DPS ( damage per second ) speced character so the main point of this build will be to inflict as much damage as possible in the least amount of time.

Stats:
Str +2 ( Each point increases physical attack and also slighty increases hit points) This is the most important attribute
Agi +0 ( Each point increases dodge, hit, and critical strike ratings) For this build agi is not that important since we are getting the damage and the hit points from Str.
Int +0 ( No comments )
End +1 ( Each point increases character hit points and physical defense ) I suggest adding 1 point of endurance since otherwise the character would be too squishy and you would be requiring to heal a lot which would reduce the time available for grinding.

So what I did was to add 2 points to Str and 1 point to End per level until you reach 90 End, then just pump STR.

Skills:

Fierce Attack_________1/5 Valiant Slash_________1/5 Iron Blood_________5/5
Slayer Swipe_________1/5 Saber Slash__________1/5 Slow_____________1/5
Improved Fierce Attack 1/5 Crucify______________5/5 Charge___________1/5
Improved Slayer Swipe 5/5 Reckoning___________1/5 Revenge__________1/5
Master Fierce Attack_______Improved Slayer Slash_____Improved Iron Blood5/5
_______________________Shock Blade_____________Bolt of Justice______1/5
______________________________________________Spir it Guard

Total Skill points used: 30

Now you may ask why I selected this skill distribution well...
[Fierce Attack] Only need level 1 since increasing it to level 5 doesnt gives you much attack power
[Slayer Swipe] Same as above, and also you get improved Slayer Swipe later which gives a lot more attack power
[Improved Fierce Attack] Same as Fierce Attack
[Slayer Swipe] Now this skills gives a lot of Damage Output 20% + 1034 at level 1 this is definitely worth upgrading to level 5
[Valiant Slash] Same as Fierce Attack
[Saber Slash] Same as Above
[Crucify] This is skill gives 12% + 776 at level 1 and also is an AoE Deals ranged effect to enemies in a line
[Reckoning] This is a really good skill for pvp since it will purge your enemy from buffs
[Iron Blood] This skill gives a great permanent bonus to physical damage
[Slow] Required for Charge
[Charge] This is a great skill for pvp since you charge towards your enemy slowing his movement by 50% for 4 seconds
[Revenge] Although it gives a nice physical damage bonus it requires you having less than 70% health so meh
[Improved Iron Blood] Now although this skill reduces your physical defense, the bonus it gives to physical damage I'ts so great that is definitely worth upgrading to level 5
[Bolt of Justice] This is a great skill for interupting spellcasting

So as the very first guide I have ever written I hope it helps you, have fun !

Crystal Saga Ice Mage Guide

Crystal Saga Ice Mage Guide

I'm ~not~ posting a build, this thread will have the ice mage skills and my opinions on them.
All comments made are purely my opinion, don't follow them to strictly.
With that said, what i want out of this thread is for new ice mages to have some info beforehand.
Please note that you only get "1" skill point every "2" levels.


A brief overview of stat builds.
I went full INT, the damage is crazy good and i have mediocre equips,
however you'll suffer from horrible HP and will die alot at bosses if you get hit.
From personal experience i'd say to be a mix of INT and Endurance, enough END to give you comfortable HP and defense
especially if you have plans for PvP later on.


~Ice Cone~
At level 1: Attack increased by 36%+23 and movement speed -50 to a single target for 4 seconds
My Comments: This is your basic 1v1 spell, not to powerful, movement speed gets lowered an additional 5% per level,I cant comment on the damage at later levels as i did not level this skill.
My Recommendation?: Keep at level 1


~Frost Shield~
At Level 1: MP Regen increased by (i forget amount but its low) and Damage Reduced by 4%
At Max: MP Regen increased by 28 and Damage reduced by 20% it always lasts 10minutes
My Comments: I maxed this skill, 20% damage reduc? yes ill take, and were not fire mages we sacrifice some damage skills for more defensive ones.
My Recommendation?: This is a recommended max, it helps especially when your AoE'ing with blizzard.


Blizzard(Level 10)
At Max: 110%+216, movement speed reduced by 70%, and can hit 15 targets. This spell has to channeled, moving cancels it it lasts 4.5 secs.
My Comments: I maxed this skill, but after alpha is over i wont. At level 50 is a skill called "Improved Blizzard" which functions just like this but better. Leveling isnt really that hard either.
My Recommendations?: Keep at level 1 unless you wanna buy a re-skill at level 50. But once this is learned you cant learn Balrog's Hell on fire tree.


Alacrity(Level10)
At Level 1: Passive skill that increases casting speed by 3% and another 3% each level.
My Comments: I'm not sure really, i have this at level 1 and the difference in casting is negligible.
My Recommendations?: This skill is either a keep at Level 1 or Max skill, all i can say.
Requirements?: Frost Shield level 1


Wind Strike(Level 20)
At Level 1: attack increased by 42%+322 to a single target.
My Comments: this is your 2nd 1v1 attack i kept it at level 1 so i cant comment on it's damage to much.
My Recommendations?: I'd say keep this at level 1 since it has no slowing effect and save skill points for Improved Ice Cone at level 40.
Requirements?: Ice Cone level 1


Magic Penetration(Level 20)
At Level 1: attacks have a chance to ignore you opponents defense values. and has a chance to proc. of 2% and an additional 2% per level.
My Comments: I have this at level 1, I would think this this would be a good skill to max at later levels cause itd be 10% chance.
My Recommendations?: Keep at level 1 until you get higher level'd, best to save your skill points.
Requirements?: Alacrity level 1


Halo of Ice(Level 30)
At Level 1: Roots enemies around caster for 3 seconds and can root up to 7 mobs. with an additional .5 seconds and 2 mobs each level.
My Comments: I only have this at level 1 right now, but i would assume this would be an amazing skill to max for PvP purposes.
My Recommendations?: I recommend maxing this out, this skill is for escaping purposes and keeping your target frozen re-heal, max for longer freeze time.
Requirements?: Blizzard Level 1


Deep Freeze(Level 30)
At level 1: Your attacks do an additional 2% magic damage. and stackable up to 2 times. At level 2 its still 2% magic damage but can stack 4 times, i dont know how well this skill scales cause mines only level 1.
My Comments: From the description it sounds like a nice skill, maybe a max at higher level?
My Recommendations?: Leave at 1, it doesnt scale well enough and skill points are better spent elsewhere at this level.
Requirements?: Magic Penetration Level 1


Improved Ice Cone(Level 40)
At Level 1: attack increased by 36%+787, reduces targets move speed by 50% and lasts 4 seconds. and an additional 5% move speed per level.
My Comments: i'll update this section once i have the skill but at level 1 it looks like it'll do a ton of damage.
My Recommendations?: I would say leave this skill at level 1. At level 80 we get Master Ice Cone which is an even more upgraded version of this.
Requirements?: Wind Strike Level 1


Mana Breeze(Level 40)
At Level 1: Restores a large amount of mana for 5 seconds. MP restored 12% with a cooldown of 130 seconds. With an additional 2% MP restored and 10 seconds off cooldown each level.
My Comments: I guess this could be useful for dire situations where your MP pot is on cooldown? I'd leave at level 1 you can buy MP pots to keep MP up skill points are better elsewhere.
My Recommendations?: Keep at 1 as for reasons i stated above, if you find yourself with leftover skill points you could use this as a skill point dump.
Requirements?: Deep Freeze Level 1


Improved Blizzard(Level 50)
At Level 1: attack increased by 98%+982, movement speed reduced by 50% and hits up to 7 targets with a radius of 350 and hits 4 times. The max targets and mspeed reduction increase every level.
My Comments: Max This Skill!! This is like... a godsend AoE skill. Nuff said.
My Recommendations?: Max This unless you REALLLY want to be a pure 1v1 mage.
Requirements?: Halo of Ice level 1


Frost(Level 50)
At Level 1: Attack ratio 40%, Bonus attack 982, and freezes a target for 3 seconds. Any damage done to target afterwards will cancel frozen status.
My Comments: This could be used if you accidentally aggro'd a boss or a PK'er is chasing you or you aggro'd to many mobs and need to run.
My Recommendations?: Leave at level 1, this i would consider mainly an escape skill and wouldnt really add to DPS since frozen status is canceled once you hit your target. Skill points better spent elsewhere.
Requirements?: Improved Ice Cone level 1


Empyrean Winds(Level 60)
At Level 1: attack increased by 26%+1328 and knocksback a target. the knockback range is 180. The knockback range is increased by 30 each level.
My Comments: I see this being useful for if your fighting a boss and need time to use an HP potion or fighting someone and need some space.
My Recommendations?: Keep at level 1, i would say this skill is just to put distance between you and something, not for damage dealing.
Requirements?: Improved Blizzard Level 1


Improved Wind Strike(Level 60)
At Level 1: attack increased by 42%+1523 to a single target.
My Comments:What i said above... is all it does. Level 2 of this skill is 46%+1612
My Recommendations?: Keep at level 1 till all your other main skills are maxed then consider this.
Requirements?: Frost Level 1


Ice Blast(Level 70)
At Level 1: attack increased by 58%+1940, and deals an addition 482 damage every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.
My Comments: This skill seems like a very good 1v1 skill, id recommend maxing if theres enough skill points.
My Recommendations?: Get this to atleast level 1.
Requirements?: Improved Wind Strike Level 1


Icicle Armor(Level 70)
At Level 1: defense+48 and a 1% chance to freeze attackers for 3 seconds. This is a passive for when Frost Shield is on. The freeze wears off if target is hit, and gets 1% extra proc. rate every level.
My Comments: With a 5% to freeze attackers at max and 5 seconds of being frozen + the increased defense. i would say max this skill.
My Recommendations?:Max this skill! Or if anything get atleast level 1.
Requirements?: Mana Breeze Level 1


Black Hole(Level 80)
At level 1: Summons a Black Hole in the target area. Deals magic damage and draws in enemies every second. attack ratio is 27%+302, hits 7 targets, and lasts 4 seconds.
My Comments: This skill gets an extra 1 second duration every level, and 2 more max targets every level. Lasting 8 seconds and hitting a max of 15 mobs at max level, i would say max this. Nuff Said.
My Recommendations?: Max this!
Requirements?: Empyrean Winds Level 1


Master Ice Cone(Level 80)
At Level 1: attack increased by 36%+2317 an slowing targets move speed by 50% for 4 seconds + and additional 5 seconds move speed each level.
My Comments: This has to be, hands down, our strongest 1v1 skill and it has no cooldown.
My Recommendations?: Max This!
Requirements?: Ice Blast Level 1

Everything i've said is purely MY opinion so negative comments about you screwing up your build will be ignored.
At level 80 you'll have a max of 40 skill points. Every skill maxes out at level 5.
That doesn't give us a lot of flexibility but this is so people can plan there build.
Good luck out there fellow Ice Mages.
Now go bring about the 2nd ice age

Crystal Saga Hybrid Holy-Blood Priest Guide

Crystal Saga Hybrid Holy-Blood Priest Guide

i. introduction.
hello! Welcome to my Hybrid Holy- Blood priest guide Guide. *pokes post title.* Thank you also for the effort on clicking and reading this. Before anything else under the sun, I would like to tell to each and everyone that I am not an expert or whatsoever. I purely made this to help my fellow newbies in making such a priest. Yes, you read it right. I'm still a newbie too. ^^

I would also like to ask for your kindness. This is my first time to make a guide.

ii. Priest
I don't like to hurt my brain on thinking what should the section title say.

Anyway, what is a priest , by the way? Priests are people who excel in magic and buffs. And I think you are making a priest because you like magic/support, or you like to use magic. But either way, a choice of being a priest is cool. ^^


Being a Holy - Blood priest means, you kick the enemies butts hard while you can heal your party members who had been kicked on their butts too, and give them support. Cool isn't?

iii. GOOD AND BAD
Like they say, no one is perfect. This is also the same as we do on builds. No build is perfect. So, be aware of the disadvantages and advantages of being a holy blood priest.

The Advantages of this build is that, you can heal, you can kill hard. The next thing is, you do not need a hp potion. Like, duh. You can heal yourself too and you will not need to buy MP POTS and this build is best for PvE cuz I promise when you go AFK mode YOU WILL NEVER DIE.. Unless someone will PK you. To avoid this go to peace mode first so the AFK PROTECTION will protect you from PKERS .

While the disadvantages of this build is that, You cannot have skills that will ressurect a player, a skill that will give your allies a + def..

iv. Stats build

Your stats build must be 2Endurance 1Int. Once you got at least 10k HP go pure int so you heal will be stronger and your magic damage.

v. Skills

HOLY SKILLS
 
*Light Heal* This is your basic healing. In lvl 1-40 just stay the level on lvl 1. This is very useful for PvE . Or if your at AFK mode this is important skill so you cannot die. This skill cost very low MP.
- At Level 1 HP will be restored 167% of healing stat + 18 At level 2. HP will be restored 172% + 100. Sorry I dont know the level 3 ,4 and 5 ill update this soon. (requires lvl 1)

*Holy Light* This is your skill that will heal you over 12 seconds. In 1-40 stay this on lvl 1. This is very useful too in PvE while at AFK mode. Light Heal + Holy Light heal = 100% Sure you will not die in monsters. (except you kill so very high monsters like bosses.)
- At Level 1 this skill will heal you over 12seconds 90hp per 2 seconds. At Level 2 122hp per 2 seconds. Dont know 3, 4 and 5. I'll update this soon.
( requires lvl 10)

*Saint's Strength* I dont know. This skill is useless. This is just for support priest because this will increase your healing while lowering your magic dmg. So just lvl this on lvl 1. (requires lvl 20)

*Blood Pact* This is your nuke skill. This skill will damage your enemy so high. But Mine is only level 1. Maybe when your higher (45-60) try to add this for damage. but the cooldown sux. So you can only use this one time for one monster. >.<

NOTE . Once you receive blood beam skill. press V then put blood beam in DEFAULT this will your basic attack..

vi. Leveling.

In leveling, just do quests and some daily quest then once you dont have quest left, go grinding (grinding means kill monsters to level). Fight monsters 4 levels above you.. Remeber to use 1.5exp or 2exp cards to boost your exp while grinding . Don't waste your 1.5/2exp cards!

vii. GEMS.
I recommend put jade gems for HP. High HP = High Survival . But you can use Topaz too for Magical Damage )

REMEMBER!!! When you go AFK mode. Go to PEACE MODE. So AFK PROTECTION will protect you from PKERS.

My IGN name is Asura . For any questions just PM me ingame.

Crystal Saga Hybrid Healing Priest Guide

Crystal Saga Hybrid Healing Priest Guide

You are generally here because:
1. You've messed up your stats, and you are part holy/blood priest.
2. You require maximum heals for those hard vault runs and so on.
3. So this is generally assuming you are with another priest or the tank has health orb.

Spells you require:
Light heal: One of the best healing spells ever. You will use this the most. No cooldown, hefty cast time of 1.5 seconds.
Holy light:This is when you want to add few extra heal points on top of light heal. Heal over time. If you want to get "Improved holy light" at a later level, leave this at very low level. This spell does not stack.
Saint's strength: This is when you want maximum amount of heals, call it "healer mode". This spell drains mp over time. MP drain can add up quite a bit. If you want to save mp then you do not have to use it. Use it when you absolutely must. Recast to deactivate.
Healing wave: This spell is instant cast, and is aoe, so when your tank or your teammates are dying real fast, simply cast this healing spell. Make sure you target the correct area. Has a cooldown of 12 seconds, be aware. If you are going to get Circle of Healing at lvl 80, then leave this low, which is unlikely.
Improved Holy light: Better version of holy light.
Grace: This spell has a hefty cast time of 3 seconds, and a terrible cooldown of 6. If you can manage the time, take it or leave it.
Circle of Healing: Better version of healing wave. Short cooldown (4 seconds), awesome amount of heal, but increased cast time, by 1 second. I suggest if your party is seriously dying use both healing wave and circle of healing for a huge amount of heal at a short amount of time.

*Very important as a healer, when you are about to do some hardcore healing:
This is something I've found out from choc, my mage buddy that your default attack spell interrupts your healing.

a. Go to your skills.
b. Drag light heal from the skill tree, set it as your default spell. (the first heal spell you get from the list).


General skill combination:
1. Tank suddenly runs in to the boss with debuff.
If you are support, use pure in heart whenever you see a creepy debuff on the tank -> Healing wave -> Light heal x3 -> Holy Light -> your choice.
2. Your squad is dying/your tank's hp is incredibly low.
Healing wave -> Spam Light heal on the tank until hp is 80 percent -> use holy light for additional heal.

Possible problems you will run in to:

-You might get confused.
-The tank suddenly jumps in to the boss and you are nowhere near the tank.
-Your heal is glitched and it's cooling down.
-You've suddenly ran out of MP from spamming those heals.

How to lessen such problem:
Set up your skill bar.
I've set mine up when I'm about to heal like this.

1. Light Heal
2. Holy Light
3. Healing wave
4. Pure in heart (support)
5. MP potion
6. HP potion

Lastly, keep practicing your heals until you've gotten down to timing of Light Heal.

Attention rating usually.
45% Tank hp
35% MP
15% Other members/You
5% Pet

Good pet for healing, relatively easy to obtain:

Morphed Vulture

Now when using this while having light heal as default spell, make sure to hit the enemy mob once, press ESC to cancel cast, and select the tank and heal as usual. This makes your vulture buff you for better heals, while you don't have to keep attacking the mob.

-Now go own some dungeons.

Crystal Saga Knights Tanks and DPS Style Guide

Crystal Saga Knights Tanks and DPS Style Guide by lucansnaka

Hello people, seems like everybody is having problem about what to do with your knight right?
So... I want to prepare a small guide about what it takes to be a Tanker or a DPS knight.

DPS ( Damage Per Second ) --> Most Chosen...
Advantages:
- Easy to play
- Spam skills
- Damage grows fast
- Level up Faster

Disvantages:
- Potion Spaming
- Skills that use too much of your MP
- Not as good as Tanker in Dugeon, and still not as good as Rogue DPS in dugeon
- Take Bad damage

To make a Dps Knight you may wanna play the styles by level stats
2 strength / 1 Endurance
or
3 strength / 0 Endurance

The skills you should put On the Retribution Skill Tree

-Remembering Iron blood skill - Gives you nice Physical Attack from the start
Then you come to the Damage skills.

Fierce atack - level 1
Valiant Slash - Lvl 1 or Lvl 5 / Goes by your wish
Slayer's wipe - Lvl 1 / I know it will be harder to level...
Saber Slash - Lvl 1 or Lvl 5 / By your wish
Improved Fierce atack - Level 5 / There you go the useless skill become usefull ^^
Improved Slayer's wipe - Level 5 / that one too if you may wait from lvl 20 to 50...this is top damage skill

In the future you may considere getting the Improved Iron blood too
Some people likes to Use the Protection Skill tree to have to +25% HP +500 HP Skill named Battle Hymn
Its goes by your wish...

I cannot guide you more then this cause that is all I know about this... ^^

Now Tanker Knight - I'm making a Tanker knight right now so I'm Creating that build that is working for me (lvl 32 Tanker Server Himeng Valley) ATM
Advantages :
- Take really small damage
- Most usefull in dugeons at all
- High HP
- No using much potions
- Don't need the best Equipments to Have a High defense

Disvantages:
- Deals small damage
- Don't use Damage Skills
- Not a PVP monster ><
- Can't take down another Tanker

To make a Tanker Knight you may considere playing... by level stats
1 Strength / 2 Endurance - That is what i'm doing, it's very nice
or
0 Strength / 3 Endurance - That may be insane, and Hard as HELL to level

About Skills:
-
You choose to be a tanker so here we go to... The PROTECTION Skill Tree
First from the start you should conside the skill
Earth's Blessing - Lvl 5 +163 Defense + 10% Damage Reduction
(Don't need a shield, and It's a Passive Skill)
~
Battle Hynm - Needed by Tankers, On level 5 it gives you +25% HP + 500 HP
~
Taunt - Lvl 1 or Lvl 5 (Goes by your wish / In lvl 30 you have another Threat skill that does damage too)
~
Wave (lvl 30) - Lvl 5 - Does Damage in area and increase the Threat...(OVER TIME)
~
Improved Earth's blessing (lvl 40) - Lvl 5 for sure this is TOP defense skill
~
OR you may choose to use the Shield Damage skills but I really dislike the first 3...
That mean... THEY ARE USELESS AT ALL
Before level 40 the shield damage skills are very ridiculous...
I mean... your doing 250 Damage at lvl 30... If you are using the Shield skills you are doing 300!! GREAT IMPROVMENT RIGHT? haha
I really think the 3 First skills to shield are useless and who made then are Trolling the Tankers of the game ^^ haha

~
But anyway... You can go by
-Shield Strike lvl 1
-Sword Spring lvl 1
-Dragon hook lvl 1
- (lvl 40) Improved Shield strike Lvl 1 or lvl 5 / Here you choose what you want first...
- (lvl 50) Improved Sword Spring lvl 1 or lvl 5 / Damage skill at lvl 40 or lvl 50... goes by your wish ^^
- (Lvl 30) Back Breaker lvl 1 - to Open Shield Breaker
- (lvl 50) Shield breaker - That skill may rules (I still need to see it on action ^^)

Pets For the players
- As someone said in the forum, it would be nice to say what Pets are the bests to support each kind of knight right?
^^ here it goes
As a Tanker Knight you may prefer the Most Agressive and Physical atack Pet to try to help your damage up.
So it goes for Boxing Bear or a Morphed Bear (Full Strength)
In lvl 34 dealing 310 damage, the pet helps you doing 220 damage its a Boxing Bear ^^ full Strength
You Shouldn't try up the Vulture pet/Beach Crawler
You may wanna try out Morphed Barbarian MALE that have high damage and good damage skills
For pets That do Damage prefer the MALE Ones, that have better Appititudes then Females And have Damage skills
For pets that gives you Support Prefer the Female Ones, cause they have the Best skills ^^

As a DPS you might want a Pet that only helps you kill faster, and you do Damage enough to kill faster by yourself...
So by low level you may prefer MALE Archers or Morphed Archers Cause they can have the Frenzy Skill
That skill gives you Time by Time a Movement Speed Bonus +20 at lvl 1. (I only know the lvl 1 sorry '-')
Then you can level up and choose up to Spectre or Morphed Spectre FEMALE cause they have the best buffs, they can get your dodge up and make you run faster and make you atack faster.
By growing up as a DPS you may want to try out the blue Golem lvl 40 (I don't know his name)
^^ Every pet can be the best, if you level him and got the right skills you wanted...

I'll try to always make this guide better ^^ so i'm putting a list of itens that might be nice for Knights Level to Level
~ Here it goes

Do you guys know about Item Synthesis?? Nope!? '-'
It's a way to use the Dugeon drops named as Shards to Get Better Equipments.
From lvl 25 - XX you can do the Indigo Bright Dugeon that gives you the Dreamwalker Shard<
You got to Collect Shards then to Make itens on Item Synthesis menu on your inventory

The best itens for me so far
- Dreamwalker's Gloves (Physical Atacks UP) - 6 Shards
- Dream Walker's Ring (Physical Atacks UP + HP) - 7 Shards
- Dreamwalker's Helmet (HP UP) - 9 Shards

And having this 3 parts of the set you may have a Bonus (HP Up + MP Up)
This may looks like hard to do... as you need a party to do the dugeon and share the itens... but it is not, as you get lvl 30+ you can solo this dugeon being a Knight DPS or Tanker, The only difference is about the time took for Completing the dugeon.
You should use Lvl 30 Potions and then you can solo this dugeon 5 times a Day
22 Shards don't seems like Hard now right? As you can drop 2 by dugeon at maximum

Then Doing the Dugeon Named as Vault
You can drop Purple/Gold Top itens that will help you improve yourself but, there is always a new set, the one named "Etheral"
You can use the Itens you got from Dreamwalker set to make the Etheral's parts using less shards Too.
The best things for Etheral Set:

-Etheral's helmet (+10 Strength + HP up) - Dreamwalker's Helmet + 10 Ethel Shards
-Etheral's Band (+40 Physical atack + HP up) - Dreamwalker's Ring + 8 Ethel Shards
-Etheral's glove ( Physical Atack Up + 2% Physical atack dmg) - Dreamwalker's Gloves + 7 Ethel Shards

If you don't have time or patience to get all the itens, I do recommend you get at least the Glove cause it is Good for Knight as it is good for Rogues.
^^ Hope you take your time, the Etheral's set is harder to get but the dugeon have 3 bosses that means that you can get 6 shards by dugeon at maximum if you have lucky Hope you get there and get all the parts you want ^^ .

Ps : The things I wrote in this guide I learned by playing '-' I just saw the other dude DPS build '-'...
Yep he is good, I never get to lvl 50+ as DPS knight '-'
Ps 2: I didn't copy any of this things from anywhere ^^

Have a good time playing
Please post any question, sugestion or information to help me to make a better guide to us ^^

Crystal Saga Rogue Guide

Crystal Saga Rogue Guide




Alright, how do i start this...

The definition of rogue is to kill an opponent as fast as possible, therefore you need high critical, high speed, high damage...(always remember this)

All since you got this far let's start, before rebirth(which is level 60 in case you didn't know) add all your attributes to strength (after rebirth all agility)
when you first started no one have good equips so high strength gives you good damage and helps you level, after rebirth you will have somewhat decent equips if you did
your dungeons, agility give you critical, hit, and dodge chance, and since rogues have really low defense dodge makes up for the defense lose. critical gives doubles the damage
so it will also make up for the damage lose.

After rebirth all your attributes will be reset and your level will also be reset to level 1 and you will start from the beginning again (yay how fun is that)
The good thing about this is you will get 50 attribute points and 10 skill points to distribute (good luck leveling without quest though-.-)
btw all your equipment will drop to level 20

now since none of us are level 60 yet i'll just talk about how to distribute your skill points before level 60 (you don't have to follow this guide people have their own opinion on things)
first i'll talk about shadow (because i'm shadow), then combat, then hybrid
(before rebirth, after rebirth)

SHADOW
Slayer's Speed 1/5, 5/5
Slayer's Call 5/5, 5/5 (+15% crit is very useful)
Assassin's Thrust 1/5, 1/5 (Noob skill)
Shadow Rush 5/5, 5/5(Do i really need to explain the difference between 2 sec stun and 4 sec stun?)
Slayer's Cloak 1/5, 1/5 (You don't need long time or movement speed)
choke hold 5/5, 1/5 (Look good huh? Why 1/5? Because at level 60 you get improved choke hold same skill same cool down why waste you points?)
Shadow Strike 1/5, 1/5 (Why? Because all this does is make you go back to stealth mode even if you are in battle)
Slayer's Sprint 1/5, 1/5 (Use for running away, after 8 secs you're already out of battle so you can get on your mount)
Improved Assassin's Thrust 5/5, 1/5 (After rebirth you get master assassin's thrust)
Brutality 1/5 (Enough, don't need too high)
Blade Sweep 0/5, 1/5 (rogue = 1vs1)
Slayer's shadow 0/5, 1/5 (No need)



Combat Rogue Guide by Roban

This is my little way of helping my fellow Combat Rogue or aspiring to be one.

Note: After a number of tests done during alpha, i have formulated a build that is based on my experience the best way to build a Combat Rogue. It is up to you if you will follow this guide or not. Any dissatisfaction to the result of your character in the future is at your own risk. Hehe

What is Combat Rogue

This class can deal high damage using chain skill, inflict poison, or leaving its target bloody till its hp drains.

Lets talk about the stats:

I personally tried to make a Full AGI combat rogue in alpha. I tell you the damage is sucks and your dodge is just like you didnt put agi into your character.

Full STR combat rogue. All i can say is that the damage is great but there are times you miss on the target. You need to have a nice gear into this build specially those gears thats gives additional hit. Or upgrade your bracer fast so that you will have no problem i pressume.

STR/END combat rogue.(2 str/1 end distribtution) I have talked to some rogue players during alpha and they said this build is fine. Though i think same like Full STR build you will also need gears with hit booster. The good thing about this build is that you will have high HP and a pretty well amount of defense

STR/AGI combat rogue.(2 str/1 agi distribution) For me, this build is just suited the skills of a combat rogue. AGI means hit, dodge and critical. No chance to miss unless its a high level boss or player. Can dodge more often and better if you have slayer's deftness skills for it will boost your dodge by 10% when level 5. It can do Criticals more often to a target. You need to hunt sapphire and amber and embed this into your equips to boost your pdef and mdef.


The Skills:

Note: From what i have read in the other thread all characters will be reborn when you reached level 60. So i just based my skill distribution on that. You will just have 30 Skill points when you reached level 60 so this is what im planning for my character:

Double Cut - 1

Twist - 5 (at level 5 35% of target's pdef is reduced)

Triple Strike - 1

Improved Double Cut - 5 ( i prefer this over triple cut coz not only for damage wise but also for the extra damage it gives to the target by draining its hp for a period of time)


Lightstream - 5 (boost your damage by 39% of you patk + 341 at level 5)

Viper's Touch - 5 (max this asap for it poisons the target dealing poison damage 285/3 sec lasting for 12 sec a total of 1140 dmg + it reduce the healing effect of the target by 50% at level 5)

Reversal -5 (will boost further damage when chain with lightstream by 15% more)


i have 3 extra skill points so i will put it here:

Blur - 1 (reduce hit rating of target)

Shadow Slap - 1 (this is very uselful in pvp for it forbids the target to use comsumable for a period of time. i will max this out after reborn)

Slayer's Deftness - 1 (dodge booster)


At level 34 you will have this skill tree:


The Pet:

For those who can afford to buy Crystals i recommend Teeka
For those who cant afford to buy crystals i recommend morphed Spectre

These pets have skills to boost dodge of the master. equip them with charm skill is ftw.

The Equips:

a set of these:

Dreamwalker >Ethereal >Bloodforge

Enjoy the game guys and have fun!

Crystal Saga World Boss List

Heyyy Guys, Akirye here. I took some time to screenshot and
show where all the World Bosses
are located.


(It should also be noted that these bosses are very strong,
and wouldn't be smart to fight one without a party
with a healer, tank, and damage dealer.)


Dream Princess:
Dream Princess is level 20 and can be found in Himeng Valley.



Torvo:
I forgot to show it in the screenshot, but Torvo is level 29. He can be found in Himeng Valley Kaymo Mountain.



Auron:
Auron is level 36, he can be found in the Lycanmarsh.



Ice Queen:
The Ice Queen is level 45, You get to the Ice Queen by going to Celestial Palace.
Keep going deeper in till you come to the "Celestial Palace Courtyard" and she will be in the bottom left room.



Nepenthor:
This is the last one i could find. Nepenthor is level 60. Starting from Bloodfang Village, open the world map and click on "Altar of Sacrifice".
Once you've made it in it'll be like it was with Celestial Palace(see above).
Continue working your way down until you come to the "Altar of Sacrifice", Nepenthor will be in the top right corner.


Crystal Saga Beginner Tips

Crystal Saga Beginner Tips
1. At early days of Crystal Saga, the fast way of upgrade is to finish the quest. Quest Tracking is under the Mini map.

2. You could obtain a Pet when you reach lv10, a Mount at lv15, a Wings at lv20. all of this items need you to finishe the quest. so b4 lv 40, just walk with Quest Tracking.

3. If you got som spare Crystal, buy "Shining Armor Set Pack" in shop, that woulbe nice equip, b4 lv30.

4. When you reach lv30, you are able to creat a Guild, which will cost you 20 gold, I think 20 gold is too much more, hope R2 could change that. On the other hand, you could collect gold wiht other ppl, then creat a guild.

5. Remember that killing monster with 3 lvl higher than you will make you get most Exp. Besides, join a party to make teamwork to farm exp, you will get more Exp. another way, if you are powerful enough, output higher damage, I advise you to upgrade solo.

6. Before lv20, you won't be attacked, when you reach lv20, you could attack others and be attaked. When you are in AFK mode more than 1 mins, nobody could kill you, unless you open Evil mode.

7. 25 Dungeon is availabe after you reach lv25, but the boss and monster there are strong, you have to team up, would better take Priest there. If you wanna do the dungeon solo, you could creat a party, but does no invite ohter ppl, you could get in.

8. There is a certain chance to succeed, when you forge Wings, Pet, and Mount to high lvl, yes, they all call that certain chance. most of time, success depends on your luck, but you would see the lucky stars are increasing, when you re forging. the numbe of lucky stars reach or be close to the top. you will succeed.

9. The mount Mistical Scorption allows you to ride, when you re in battle, it will fight wiht you together, nor do the ohther ones which of lv are lower than Scorption.

10. When you killed a person in game, your name will become red, and PK lv1 increas 1,how to turn your name to norma, just wait for 1hr, which means 3 points need 3 hrs to wipe out.

11. You are able to open a shop when you reach lv30, open your Inventory(Press B), click open shop, so far oen shop around Valut and Battlemaster in Starglade.

12. Press Ctrl then click Items in your Invetory, it will be shown in Chat channel, when ohter ppl click, they will see what they are.

13. Honor decieds your Rank, how to increas honor
(1) Finish the quest of Guild Res event,increse 250 honor.
(2) State wish in Wishing Well to obtain gold apple that could increas 50 honor.
(3) Join PVP events. kill more ppl and win, you will get more.

14. Press B, click Items Synthesise, you could synthesize better set of equip, which need Shard. Pristine Dreamwalker shard for 20-30, Pristine Ethereal Shard for 30-40, but above lv40, I suggest you to exchange Honor fo PVP set, they would be best while you reach lv40.

15. After you reach lv40, you could join PvP events, Dragonspine, the winner will hold Dragonsword for 24 hrs. this is a amazing weapon, do the dungeon, farm Exp, fight with Dragonsword, Damn good.

16. when you are farming Exp, Bonfire will appear around you in random. you will obtain more Exp while you are around Bonfire, if you stand between double bonfires, you will get double Exp.

17. Pay attention to Game Event which is beside Mini Maps. takeing part in all events would get you Exp honor and Items.

Tips: I am PigBbong, the Guild Master of Warriors. I like this game.
I don't speak English well, actually poor, hope you could understand.

Guide to Become Lv 30 Quickly

First of all , just follow the quests . Do quests and quests .
Do not get the needed quest materials on to the future quest .
The EXP you get for killing the mobs .
Like :
Plain Bowman - Soldier Emblem [Quest item]
There are quests that only needs you to kill the Bowmans. Do not pickup the soldier emblem. Theres also a quest that needs Soldier Emblem . Thats the time you pick it up.
Question :
Why not pick it up? Because the EXP you get from killing bowmans to get the soldier emblem will be wasted and that is the true meaning of that quest.

Second of all , Do not waste your 1.5 exp token. You will need it on lvl 29 .
Third of all , If you are in the 25 - 27 Lvl . Go to Indigo Blight . You need like 3 - 5 Party Members.
Fourth of all , If you feel bored . DO PK xD. You will earn Honor for it but it is risky. So i do not kind of recommend it. I recommend it for Alpha Test Only.

More Tips

Hello everybody, its me senpai85. first of all, IM SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH XD

now is maintenance time @CS and i have a spare time, i would like to post a guide for BEGINNERS, how to play this game swiftly and nicely until u become on of the best player. please take a note that this guide is my version, if it is helpful then im glad, if you find this thread wasnt do any good for you then i hope u can share ur opinion here to make this guide better. to be the best is never been easy, in fact its very hard at start, but u will enjoy the fruit of your work later on.

if u're new to crystal saga, what u need to do is :

1. make a knight tanker, healer, and a DPS (rogue or mage or ranger is ok), so you need 3 account. but first make the knight first since it wont cost you much at leveling.

the goal is so u can go to vault nightmare alone by using that all 3 character u have so the loot is all yours. you go vault nightmare alone is faster than to look for a party, also u can have all the loot.

to go nightmare alone, u need to lvlup ur tanker until 40 so he can have improved earth blessing skills. save ur skill point from lv 30-40 so u can maximize imp earth blessing skill at once when ur tanker reach 40. this tanker will play an important role on ur success

ur dps and healer dont have to be 40, 30-35 is good.

if ure doing good, u can have max of 45mut and 45heroic wings per day, not to mention the gems u got and also epic ethereal shard.

when u done doing this point no 1 on my guide, then i dont have to tell u the next step, i believe at this point u will have ur own plan about what u gonna do with this 3 character next.

2. make 2-3 extra lv 30 tanker to farm purified crystal so u can get 12-15PC to upgrade ur main character soul per day. guide for farming PC have been made by another person, just search it

3. u need all the money u have to buy a BAG EXPANDER. yes, bag expander.
a good way to maximize the use of bag expander is use it on ur DPS main character. when u reach page 4 inventory and lv 50, u can have 5-10gold per 1 hour. yes, per 1 hour.

why bag expander? eventually mut and heroic wings will drop on price, even if u got 45 hw and 45 mut per day, their price wont be the same day after day. when their price especially mut reach 15s, u cant sell them anymore.

so my advice is, get gold from hunting and maxed out ur inventory then sell it on NPC so u can use mut and HW for ur character. at first yeah maybe u have to sell some for making money so u can buy bag expander, but dont do it in long run after u have a char with 4 page of inventory

tips : lvl up ur tanker and ur DPS main character on the same place, but different layer. in this way u'll find more torches on ur way, so when u find one just change the other char to that layer. me myself i usually found 10-20 torches for 2-4hr afk per day

4. never, NEVER, buy an egg, unless u have 2diamond/platinum or more. i tell u what, this is a waste of money. u can buy a pet when ur wings is reached dual angel wing and ur mount is battle bear and have 2diamond or more. better save ur money for buying 1hr afk card

5. buy things cheap, sell it for more. gems, afk card, briliance shard, morph crystal are some of items that u can buy in this occassion. u need to preserve amount of money, so when someone sell it cheap, u buy all of them, and sell them AS SOON AS POSSIBLE with a higher price. u will never know what will happen with the price tomorrow.
Crystal Saga Basic Ranger Guide

Hello all,

This is just a short guide on how to use the ranger, with information that i have picked up playing the ranger for the last couple of weeks. I don't presume to know everything about it, and most of this is personal opinion.


I. Builds,

I started the game going 2 str 1 agi, and later on changed to all str. I found that the added damaged helped more than the Agi. If you are going for the magical ranger i would recommend all int.

Recommanded:
1. All STR

Cookie cutter skill builds till level 50(may update till 60 when i hit it), feel free to change

Physical(All around Build):

1/5 Fire Arrow 1
1/5 Paralyzing 1
1/5 Fire Arrow 2
1/5 Strong Shot

1/5 Double I
1/5 Trailing
1/5 Double II

1/5 Anti-Magic 1
5/5 Fortune's Kiss
1/5 Voids Edge

1/5 Silencing Strike
3*/5 Anti-magic 2

5/5 Elven Swiftness
1**/5 Oak's Blessing
1**/5 Quick heal

*I believe you need to put points in antimagic 2, to be an effective anti magic pvp character. But is up to you if you want to put 1 or more points in it. Feel free to put left over point in Silencing Strike, Fire Arrow 2, or Strong Shot

**Feel free not taking quick heal if you don't like. Personally i love the skill, since it works well for me in dugeons as well as battle field. Pretty much crucial if you want to solo dungeons effectively as a ranger.

Skill damage Calculation

I am not applying armor to the raw damage yet, i will do that later.

1. Fire arrow 2: (cd 4sec)
Level 1 = base_damage * 108% + 580
Level 5 = base_damage * (8 + (3 *4)) % + 580 + (49 * 4)

assuming 1000 base damage
1000 + 1000 * 0.08 + 580 = 1660
1000 + 1000 * 0.2 + 196 + 580 = 1976
19% increase in damage

damage over 72 seconds:
level 1: 29880
level 5: 35568

assuming 2000 base damage
2000 + 2000*0.08 + 580 = 2740
2000 + 2000*0.2 + 196+580 = 3256
16% increase in damage

damage over 72 seconds:
level 1: 49320
level 5: 58608

2. Double Shot 2: (cd 4sec)
level 1 = (base_damage * 58% + 403) * 2
level 5 = (base_damage * 58% + (2% * 4) + 403 + (28*4)) * 2

assuming 1000 base damage
(1000 * 0.58 + 403) * 2= 1966
(1000 * 0.66 + 515) * 2= 2350
19.5% increase in damage

Damage over 72 seconds:
level1: 35388
level5: 42300

assuming 2000 base damage
(2000 * 0.58 + 403) * 2= 3126
(2000 * 0.66 + 515) * 2 = 3670
17.4% increase in damage

Damage over 72 seconds:
level1: 56268
level5: 66060

3. Paralyzing shot 1: (cd 18sec)
level1 = base_damage * 136% + 292
level5 = base_damage* (136 + 4*4)% + 292 + 47*4

assuming 1000 base damage
1000 * 1.36 + 292 = 1 652
1000 * 1.52 + 292 + 188 = 2000
21% increase in damage
bonus(116 additional - armor)

Damage over 72 seconds:
level1: 6608
level5: 8000

assuming 2000 base damage
2000 * 1.36 + 292 = 3012
2000 * 1.52 + 292 + 188 = 3520
16.8% increase in damage
bonus(116 additional - armor)

Damage over 72 seconds:
level1: 12048
level5: 14080


II. Leveling Up.

1. Always do bath, there is a really good bath guide (Crystal Saga Bathing Guide)

2. Always do quest, even though they don't always give enough exp.

3. Got some extra time? Get to know (level 30 -39) and A day in Vadilia (40+) provides level based exp, as well as coupons using which you can purchase afk tokens in the cash shop.

4. AFK Leveling:

There is a trick to afk with Rangers, always pick your spots carefully. If you don't you may be stuck behind and objects, and unable to shoot. Wasting valuable time. An idea location would be an enclosed square shaped place. (95,57, Celestial Courtyard is the perfect example).

You want at least 5 monsters within range of you, so that you don't move. This way if they spawn camp fire, you get the benefit from it.

You want to afk near melee monsters, so that they will die close to you, so that you don't miss out on drops/campfire.

Pick a layer that is not 1, (Click the L1 on the top left corner of your map)

III. PVP

Verse Knight:
Depending on the circumstances you might just want to run away. Unless they are a lot weaker than you, or not paying attention to you, you will either be unable to kill him or die the process. In sengolia though, just move back a couple steps and shoot them. They will probably be too busy with slows and stuns to chase you.

Verse Rogues:
This is a pretty even toss up, they have more damage and stuns, but if you are lucky you can probably kill them before they kill you. If you are with allies, or in sengolia, don't tank it like a man, Kite or run to friends. They should be the thing you aim to kill in Sengolia. Once they get caught in a priest's ice spell, feel free to shoot them dead.

Verse Mage:
With the above build you should be able to beat them, fairly easily. Your magic damage reduction hurts their damage alot, you can silence them and disrupt their channeled aoe blizzard spell. Plus due to their builds they tend to have more magical def than physical def. They should be the 2nd thing you aim to kill in sengolia.

Verse Priest:
Depends on the type of the priest you are against. If is an all Endurance blood priest, just run away not worth the effort. Try to fight them at max range, so their annoying freeze spell don't hit you.

IV Equipment:

This section will be pretty brief for now. But in essence go for th lv 40 pvp set, since it is the best/cheapest equipment you can get for the level.

Order Of importance for upgrades.
Bow Socket Physical Damage
Armor Socket Physical Def
Helm Socket Hp
Amulet
Glove Socket Physical Damage
Ring
Boots Socket Physical Def

Most important Stats to look for in items in order of importance of importance:
Luck
physical damage % reduction
Damage % increase
Movement increase
Attack speed % increase
Crit chance
Magical damage % reduction

V. Mounts Verses Wings

Obviously both are nice to have, but if you want to focus on one, I would go for a mystical scorpion first then focus on your wings. The fact that you can ride the mount and fight at the same time is very useful especially for an archer. After that I would pour resources into the wings.


Thanks for reading, please provide comments and feedback, as I said a lot of this is personal opinion. Would love to hear yours as well.
I will edit later for more stuff such as dugeons and daily quest.

Best,

Stormynight (lv 5* ranger, Himeng Valley)

Crystal Saga Ranger Guide

Want to become a powerful nature type ranger?
Follow this then.

First. If your a nature type, then get only NATURE TYPE SKILLS. If you get a skill in anti-mage , YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE HIGH PATK Damage TO DEAL GREAT DAMAGE.

Second. If your a nature type, then get pure INT.

Third. Your Set must be Physical Defence. It may combine with Physical Def. and Magical Def. like If your Armor is Physical Def. your Helm may be Magical Def. So its ok.

Fouth. Recommended Pet is also Mystical Scorpion.
[QUESTION:How do i make a Mystical Scorpion?]
[Answer: If you reach lvl 30 , theres a quest there that you can get a Rabid Racoon. Morph it with the Baby Turtle Mount you got from the Quest in Orison.]
