Skill developement guide

News

Ok since I dont want to only critisize others but actually offer some insight in my Ata experience, here my skill developement guide for a working Ata.

lvls. 10-20

Shield Strike 1
Farina 1
Throwing Mastery 4
Bigger Spear 0

Reasoning:
Shield Strike is up to ice caves one of the most usefull skills. Train it and learn to controll groups of monsters and enemies in PVP! Most usefull at 1 because higher lvls only raise damage not stun time and damage is near to nothing.
Farina is very usefull against high defense monsters (King Hopy when you first enter dun3 for example or monsters in lvl 80 areas and up) and in PVP!
Leave it at 1 because its already good at 1, higher lvls dont give higher speed boost and youll want to spam it alot.

Maxing out Throwing Mastery is in my opinion more important than having rank-up quest at 20 thats why I advise against investing into Bigger Spear at 18 or 20, infact you wont need an attack skill untill you fight against Headcutters and Figons anyway and for those others are more suited.

lvls. 20 - 32:
Shield Strike 1
Farina 1
Throwing Mastery 9
Bigger Spear 1

Reasoning:
Before you have Ring Armor at 35 you cant really do much against Headcutters in Oasis so youll hunt in Forgotten Land (d2) anyway. No monster there which you have to dispose fast except skele archers and those fall fast anyway.
You need Rank-Up quest before you go to Oasis because of Twisted Javelin.

lvl: 34-36
Rank-Up Quest
Windy 1
Twist Javelin 1

Reasoning:
First Rank-Up quest for Morions is really annoying and at 36 you'll have less stress with it. At 36 you also will start to train and hunt in Oasis (d1) where you'll find Headcutters. For those Twist Javelin is a really nice attack skill because they are demons (so are Figons, Slaughters and Illusion Knights later)

lvls 38-40:
Throwing Mastery 10 Tier 1 Skills complete
Windy 1
Twist Javelin 1
Soul Sucker 1
Fire Javelin 1 Tier 2 skills complete

lvls 40-50:
Start (but do not complete!) second Rank-Up Quest.

Reasoning:
OK heres why: Winged Javelin sux and Anaconda rox! Winged has no damage specc and your Anaconda (Quest Weapon) not only has speed 8 and nice damage but also gives you HP boost. You can also keep the quest ring!
Plus you won't really need Tier 3 skills untill you can hunt Dun3 or Forbidden (d4) anyway (ToV at low lvls aint giving much and you wont get Storm before 50 anyway.
So in this lvl-range no new skills, just age your anaconda to 3 and dont visit skillmaster untill you're 50, so train train train in d1 and dun1 .
Fire Javelin is great against Webs (Mutants) BTW!

Now before you hit 50 get yourself a nice Holy Javelin and murky mix it!
Thiw will be your main weapon untill you get a sweet Wyvern Javelin (which you should also murky mix!)
