  Ugh, if only I had seen this guide sooner! I probably made a mess of my character now. ><

  
  
  I second that. -.-

  Excellent Guide from our great player Jah from Alexina! : D!!

  As a character build guide it's good, but as far as expecting a beginner to know about enchanting, weapon upgrading, and dexterity bonuses from the start is a high expectation.

  Why do you recommend Light Melka for beginners?
• Animefreak97 wrote on 2010-08-04 05:29
  Because lots of people BS them and you can get a 6/4 Melka really cheap.

  Ah, I see. Thanks.

  Great guide, but I kinda don't like how you skipped the enchant "Incubus"
  While it does require Master of Defense to use, it's still an enchant that's quite powerful, and easy to acquire (have a female friend help you, and the enchant itself is a mere r9). While it does lower luck, it's not really that much of a big deal if you put it on upgraded Broadswords (they would have ~30% crits, and you also have will from windmill and critical hit skills that add to critical %)
  
  r9 Enchant, Incubus
  5 Damage Balance increase
  -20 Luck
  +10% Service Rate
  +6 min. dmg if your defense is r1
  +12 max. dmg if you're using Master of Defense

  You forgot to note it was a prefix enchant, so it goes nicely with spike (+22 max dmg, +26 max dmg if you also have rA potmaking)

  The reason is that goddess enchant + 30 str enchant beats incubas for melee.

  Straight from the world wiki, goddess gives +10 str and +8 max dmg, which is still only 12 max damage. On top of that, you'll be paying 13k a repair on your broads. Sure, you can use a different title, but why? Unless you have basic or principle's enchant, it wouldn't matter much

  Using Master of Defense instead of a +30 title means you lose +12 max.
  Would benefit you more to use 1HKOBear title + dual Wolf Hunters.

  Wrong, the damage is the same.
  Dual incubus is 24, while the OHKO bear/golem gives 30 str (+12) and dual Wolf hunters max (6 each) are 12, which is 24.
  This choice would be preference, OR you could go a different route (if you have high alchemy skills)
  OHKO Bear/Golem + Shadow Hunter (insert suffix)
  
  This is a risky move though, since Shadow Hunter gives 10 max dmg (r1 Water Cannon), but Shadow Hunter also makes your item go poof when enchanting. The only way (if you wanna dump real money into this) is to use enchant protection potions, for a nice (assuming Shadow Hunter Spike) +52 max dmg

  Lol, good thing you know so much.
  As he said, Goddess enchants should only go with Obsidian, since the x10 repair is a bish. I swear... one of my guildies has a Goddess Obsidian Broadsword 222, but he rarely uses it unless it's for Pvp cause it "costs too much to repair"
  What's the point of having it if you can't really even use it? =/
  
  Plus, I've done a bit of research and just like Maplestory, Attack rating > Stat bonus.
  The one thing about 1hko titles is that it lowers your DEX, and for me, who has JUST under 200 dex, 222 broads become more of a hassle with Golem 1hko or Bear 1hko titles.
  True, i can rb at an earlier age, but I really like the free rbs. (17+ characters do NOT gain any dex from leveling)
  True, I can rank life skills, but many of them take a long time to rank (weaving, tailoring, etc.)
  True, I can use enchants, but there are other enchants i'd like to use
  
  +rep for iheavy for superior research skillz0rs and knowledgeable, thoughtful intel, plus epik calculations =D

  Bear 1hko is -Int, not Dex.

  Thanks Joyjason, and Chillax, I'm sure that Joy just skimmed over that. Depending on your playstyle, OHKO Bear's -int may or may not effect you. It's all preference honestly.
