[Guide]Moonlight Sentinel

[Sido]

Story Line

I started this guide mainly because i like this class even if is not played that much.

On low rate servers ppl avoid it because of mp skill missing (comparing with the other 2 archers + 1 crossbower). Regarding pvp servers, most of the ppl think that Elfs aren't that kewl =)

 

Moonlight Sentinel

Mainly is a fast short range archer with a big chance of criticals because of his hight dex.

 

Moonlight Sentinel <- Silver Ranger <- Scout <- Elf Fighter.

This is the path you will fallow in your class changes.

 

Some stats info:

biggest DEX (35  - 1 more than d.elfs)

lowest STR (36)

low CON (36)

biggest WIT (14)

medium  INT (23)

medium MEN (26)

 

what are this stats for ? well...

STRIncreases amount of physical damage.DEXIncreases attack speed, physical skill speed, accuracy, evasion, critical hit probability, success rate of dagger skills (such as Deadly Blow), shield defense success rate, and movement speed.CONIncreases maximum HP and CP, HP recovery speed, weight limit, underwater breath gauge, shock resistance, and bleeding resistance.INTIncreases damage of magic attacks and success rate of curse spells.WITIncreases chance of magic critical hits, casting speed, resistance to Hold, resistance to curses (such as HP degeneration, decreased HP recovery rate, increased skill re-use time, and decreased effect of heals).MENIncreases magic defense, maximum MP, MP recovery speed, poison resistance, and curse resistance. Decreases probability of magic interruption.To change these ability values, a symbol can be created through the Symbol Maker.

this stats are based on %, this mean if you will add +1 to them, will give u more or less, depending on how much you got on ur basic stats.

i'll not explain you how to add dyes, because this is not a guide for, but i'll let u some links to learn about them.>> Here << how much % give dyes for every class, and some more info. >> Here << full info about what classes can add what dyes, and more concerning about.

Quests

So you created your character ( info >> Here <<, be sure u made it elf fighter )and you entered the world. You will be spawned in Shadow of the Mother Tree, which in our case, is near your home town (Elf Village). Anyway i'll not talk now about how to grow up your character because i did a guide >> Here << , so fallow it.

I'll just add in this one things you may need to do more/pass and things adapted to other chronicles.

First class transfer quest >> Here <<at level 36 ( quest for Gracia Part 2+ chronicles) i suggest you to do this Pailaka Quest because it will give you a nice reward, but more than that you will gain nice experience.

From 36 you will advance to 40 with no problem at it's end but keep in mind to join an academy before.

Pailaka Quests Info >> Here <<in Gracia Part1+ chronicles you will be able finish the second class transfer quest in a shorter way, info >> Here <<

If you are playing a lower chronicle than that, then you will find your quests info >> Here1 << >> Here2 << >> Here3 <<

3rd class change quest at level 76 >> Here3 <<

PVE

Well you got more self buffs compared to other classes (such as: M def, Run speed, P atk, P def, MP decrease for skills) but you have no mp regeneration skills (Pain of Sagittarius - which give you MP by taking you some HP).

So my recommend is to farm in place where you can find mobs that drop herbs, and you will be just fine. This if you don't prefer solo farm.(Wall of Argos, Ketra Outpost, Varka Outpost, Dead Forrest). But be sure that a party will always fit your class better.

---

PvP

Keep in mind that you got no MP recovery skill, low range but high atk speed (ofc if you buff urself with Rapid Fire - which decrease ur range and increase ur atk speed), pretty good M def and a big chance of criticals.

Don't try to be the "tanker" but use ur "pro's" at maximum, like:  you got big dex+big atk speed = fast skill reuse, which means you will be able to give fast stuns. Use them against those who try to kill ur cardi, or against enemies cardi (why only on them ? because you have no mp recharge skill and we prefer to keep rechargers mp for healers).

Other moves concerning pvp, are those which we all know, such as: move every time because you got passive Acrobatic Move - increase ur evasion while moving and Esprit - increase your MP regen. on the same situation. Also i saw in gracia+ chr. skills deal more dmg (maybe because of the server i played, but i saw this thing on offi files too.... players used more the skills in pvp than simple shots, or maybe because the crit chance is lowered... ) so use skills more in pvp for this chronicles.

Equipment

For Gracia + i suggest you to buy common items for jewels/weapons. Also u will see that i suggested you a dagger till lvl 40  because till that lvl you got skills for both weapons, dagger and bow, at the same power and considering your low mana, using a bow will just make you lose time resting (recharge mp). If you don't have money for both weapons to change the bow with the dagger when u got no mana just buy the dagger and you will be just fine. Keep in mind that having a dagger till lvl 70 will help you A LOT.

[xrolexx]

[Katherine]

atrib on wep holy + dance of light + holy wep and QQ pew pew

[Sido]

why u put fire on weap, holy is better...

atrib on wep holy + dance of light + holy wep and QQ pew pew

 

 

also for certs i prefer haste/spirit/barrier

and also a dance for dark resistance and because of the above reason given by rosalie, which mean a lot of ppl using light => a lot of ppl will use dark on their armor your light will not be that "DIFFERENT" .

beside this, if i don't remember wrong in iop mobs got low resistance on fire so... better farm in a solo zone = great xp which is kinda good sometimes.

 

Reading this guide makes SR nice and playable class. >:D Gj!

i appreciate.
