Progression Tips

Below are some tips you should use to help you get to higher levels smoothly.

Use rubies for Daily Scroll (only A but any level scroll) reset (50rubies for 5 scrolls, up to 3 = 15+5runs a day) for maximum value, only farm Daily Scroll and not buy unless you want fast experience but beware of CP deficit.
Doing daily quest, weekly quest, experience dungeon (lv33+), extraction with Einhasad’s Blessing (200% EXP boost/3x) for maximum experience
Balance out equipment CP value and avoid focusing on one piece of equipment to SR unless fully geared.
All field monster may drop Quest Scroll A/B/C, Upgrade Stones, Enhancement Scrolls, Maphr’s Protection, Elixirs.
Sell tradable Upgrade Stones and Enhancement scrolls gotten from grinding if F2P to buy rares from Trading Post.
Rubies use for endgame substat reset and reset HOTTIME/Daily to speed up progression and more upgrade stones.
Party to farm cores will be faster than solo auto due to area coverage and more monster killed compared to solo.
Only farm cores when you’re maxed level or if your situation allows (eg. Grinding at Sahara of the Desert *GOOD CORE at lv56)
Get all new rune pages to lvl 1 before going back and maxing the rune. Every 10 levels unlock a rune page.

Equipment Usage

Below are some tips on equipment and item usage.

Only use Upgrade Stones for Rares and R to SR upgrade on normal EQS. Use combine for others.
TRY not to do 10+1 summon (1200 diamonds) if F2P/non-spender. Use it to reset Armor Upgrade Stones daily dungeon, extend 30min HOTTIME, reset Daily Scroll
Einhasad’s Blessing only work in Extraction and Field monsters ONLY
Enhance normal equipment until +5 max and save the rest for rares.
Only A-grade combined with A-grade have a chance for a rare S-grade (Same for S+S > R, R+R > SR but A+A > S is cheapest)
Use C/B grade to level A/S/R, use B grade to lvl SR *level price is fixed regardless of materials (armor = 180k for S, 480k for R, 1.2m for SR. Weapon *unconfirmed = 250k for S, 600k for R, 1.72m for SR)
Equipment only combine grade A+A>S, grade S+S>R but not R+R>SR as it would be expensive, use R+upgrade stones to SR if possible.
Do not rush for full rare equipment before training because it’ll slow down your process especially if you didn’t get rare pieces from combining
When everything SR lvl 30 then aim for S rare pieces *Full set of R lv30 works too.
Upgrade stone selection box go for Armors>Accessories>Weapon as Armors and Accessories require more upgrade stones (Sunday daily dungeon) *Keep the selection boxes and use only when needed
Plan out what accessory set you want to go and focus on getting a set of SR accessory of your choice.
Enhance rares to +10 as bare minimum as +10 wouldn’t drop to +9 if fail, same as +20 and +30.
Varnish selectors (B/A/S) from equipment dungeon, only select Accessory Varnish B/A/S.

Best Way to Get Experience

Notes and differences about combining and upgrade

Upgrade

Upgrade = Obtain the same equipment of a higher grade.

Upgrade is cheaper than combining by around 50% but takes weeks to obtain required amount of Upgrade Stones.

Upgrade is preferably used for R to SR (reduces cost by around 500k) or S rare to R rare to SR rare.

Upgrade requires 10 Upgrade Stones for A>S, 20 for S>R, 30 for R>SR, same amount for all weapon/equipment/accessory.

Combine

Combine -> Obtain a random equipment of a higher grade.

Combine is more expensive than upgrade, almost double if not double.

Combine is mostly used for getting rares, combining 2 A-grade lvl 30s for a chance of S-grade rare (rare equipment starts at S).

Combine is preferably used for A to S, S to R but not R to SR due to the cost difference and difficulty of getting a R-grade equipment through 10+1 summon.

During combining, the equipment on the left (initial selection) will keep all it’s properties* and soul crystals while the equipment on the right (second selection) will disappear as fodder/material.
