Skills and Quests

Dagger

A lot Stronger then Chain by 5% only within Lv 1-50, There no AOE skills on it, Good for Demi Human and Boss, Owns in PVP (Monks), combo Point improve Skill Dmg every 3rd 6th and 9th skill hit (poison bash)... there is no useful stun on dagger so u'll need to use dragon roc....
All Rep Quest Lvl needed for blue weapon will be 4

All dagger build should be a pure DEX build with Crit - why? cause your aim is swift crit in a 1-3hit combo and move on to the next without getting touch!


Chain
Not as strong as dagger neither is it effective for Scenario boss for that matter... However if you gain a +7 Blue Chain it out rank a +7 Dagger, if you ever find a blue chain Lv50... if your a pro at a Sin, you'll be able to keep any1 stun though out the whole battle using chain, (Scenario boss are immune to stun)
All Rep Quest Lvl needed for blue weapon will be 3 (there is no lv50 blue weapon)

All Chain build should be a pure VIT build with Dodge - why? cause your aim is always AOE, therefore to lure and aoe = HP

- Obtain Divine Tiger at LV25 in stone city by going to SC, RC and HH last boss
- All Quest Boss cant be solo unless your +2-3 above there lvl
- Get mentored If you can, it'll be worth it someway (obtain blue lv10 chain and dagger at lv10 of been mentor and again at lv20 / 30 FREE)
- Panda Pet is your best friend > Rich players get Monkey or Hornbill pet
- Soul Fuse all Blue equipment / Weapons you have Armed or Green if you couldn’t find blue at your lvl (cost about 1g) after lv10 (not trade)
- Upgrade +1-4 on Equipments if can afford only after lv10
- Check Auction House Every now and then
- Magicstone ALL EQIUP +5vit/dex
- Accept Apprentices ASAP... Even lvl them
- Use all Master Point in Vast Mountain!
- If you used Chain for AOE, DO LC/TC for energy gathering, If you used Dagger, Boss grinding
- Also Get Brass Ring with c.strike 1% added

Yes of course you can switch between hasty shoes and elemental array, long your willing to gather energy; but if u find a blue elemental Array it out class Hasty shoes Blue.
