Crystal Saga Rogue Guide by qingyunjian

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, 5/5Do 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

Crystal Saga Hybrid Holy-Blood Priest Guide by Asura1 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.

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 Basic Ranger Guide by stormynight 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 1/5 1/5 1/5 Fire Arrow 1 Paralyzing 1 Fire Arrow 2 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. Magical: Coming Soon Hybrid: Coming Soon 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 by Crisis Want to become a powerful nature type ranger?
