Part 1. Optimizing your equips
I’m sure by now, you have no idea why some players are doing so much more DMG than you.
Or have so much more HP than you. Or somehow has so much more critical rate than you.
And there is really only one explanation to that, they’ve build their equipment properly so that
the option the equipment has is optimised for their class.

To explain, by Option I really mean SoulCraft Option . We all know an Advanced grade item
has 1 Option, but a Legendary item has 4 Options. But when you SoulCraft it, it’s so random
that there are options you don’t really need, and missing option you really want.

To use all your materials to Soulcraft Randomize (*Roll) for 4 perfect option is never
recommended unless it’s for Armor Pieces. To explain why; every soulcraft option has a chance
of appearing, the chance of very good options to appear alongside all the other good ones you
want is very slim. Which is why I will introduce you to my step order to save Gems, Gold and
Souls and other resources while working toward getting the perfect options.

Required Items:
[Soul Craft Randomizer]
[Soul Craft Extractor]
[Artifact Runestone] (Optional)
Can be found in Cash Shop > Upgrade

Step 1.
Soulcraft your item to Legendary
Step 2.
Randomize your item until you get either one to two of the rarest options
Step 3.
Re-Soulcraft a grade until you get the next rarest option
Step 4.
Repeat step 3 until you have the 3 rarest options
Step 5.
Soulcraft item to Legendary disregarding what option you get (unless you are going for
perfect 4) until you have a high soulforce. Recommended would be 420+ out of 500
(Also known as Soulforcing or SF)

For a better understand of the rarity of options I will list them by Equip type

Armor Piece
STR - INT - AGI - HLT - Armor Phys - Armor Magic - ATK Speed
Since everything is in green, it means it’s fairly easy and doesn’t require to go through Step 3. That means, you can
legendary item, get soulforce then simply move on to randomize until 3-4 perfect options.

Weapon
Critical DMG - Aim Rate% - Critical Rate
Highly recommended you Only do Step.2 only for Critical DMG, since this is the hardest of them all. Once you have
it, continue to Step.3
STR - INT - AGI - HLT - Min ATK - Max ATK

Back Item
Critical DMG - MaxHP% - Aim Rate% - Critical Rate
STR - INT - AGI - HLT - ATK Speed

Accessories
Mag DMG Reduction% - Phys DMG Reduction% - Aim Rate% - Critical Rate - Critical DMG
On accessories, you can get away by rolling for AimRate% Critical Rate% together if you don’t care about PDR. Then
proceed to Step.3
STR - INT - AGI - HLT - ATK Speed

Shield & Bracelets

Mag DMG Reduction% - Phys DMG Reduction%
STR - INT - AGI - HLT - Armor Phy - Armor Mag

So by now, if you haven’t understood. The first color on any of these except green means you
should do Step1 to Step.2 on these. Then do Step.3 for the other colors. And the green color
means you can use this as the last option you go for if you aiming for of them.
What options do I need for my class?

Part 2. Option Plus
So what exactly is option plus ( opt+ )
Option plus is a method to upgrade the soulcraft option. It increases the level of the soulcraft
from +0 to +3

To better explain, SoulCraft Option have levels. From Lv.1 ~ Lv.15

The level of your SoulCraft option depends on the Level of the equip you are soulcrafting. So
that means, costumes that are Lv.1 only get from Lv.1~Lv.2
So how do some people have +32 AGI on costume weapon?

The answer to that is Opt+ . You will use [Option Plus Stone] at Julia NPC to level up the
soulcraft option to Lv.13 to Lv.15. It is highly recommended you do this to the following options
with priority

Most Important:
Critical Rate%
Critical DMG
AGI (Do this before Critical DMG if you’re lacking total Critical Rate)
Aim Rate
HP%

Then the lesser important:

STR/INT, HLT

So how do you get opt+ stones?

You can buy it from cash shop, although it cost a bit so I don’t recommend to buy it unless you
have enough for the biggest bundle to save on gems. Else you can obtain it from Prism Star
from wanted quest by being Tier 3 or higher on Prism Tier Level.
Part 3. Socket Cards
Socket Cards are very important to allow you to contribute more of your allocation stats into
“STR/INT” depending on your class.

To do that, you need to atleast keep your critical rate higher than around 90-100%
That’s why, for socket cards it’s very important to get something that can example cover your
Agility. The reason is, if you had STR card it would not be affected by +50% STR for example
You want to have highest STR/INT as possible for maximum damage.

Now sockets are mostly separated in 2 parts, Special and STAT.

Special Socket Cards

You can only use 3 of these; on equip and costume: Back / Bracer / Belt
These consist mostly of the choices of these cards:
- Critical Rate % (PvE - Mostly for classes who just CANT get enough crit)
- Critical DMG % (Go to mostly for universal)
- Attack Speed (Only recommended for PvP players who can control high ATK Speed)

STAT Socket Cards:

You can use these cards on pretty much everywhere. For those who are still trying to get ready
to do insignia, I recommend BDL Socket Card these are farmed at Black Dragon Lord using
the claw as exchange at <Midas>

If you do have [Insignia Tier] then your goal is going to be getting 10 Star or higher STAT Card
Now there’s 2 choices depending on what you really focus on:

(PVP) - Due to expanders not working in PVP/BSQ your critical rate will be abomibly lower than
you are used to in PvE. So here I recommend [AGI] Stat Socket Cards. Only if you aren’t critting
like 99% in bsq

(PVE) - You want to just maximize your DMG and all other stat, more stats means more
DEF/MDEF aswell. So here you pick [ALL STAT]. These are going to take awhile to farm so get
ready, you might want to start early. (Hint) you can combine cards to make the ALL Stat with
other 10 star cards of STAT section.

(Costumes) Gloves / Shooes / Shoulder / Head

Only use [HP +%] of 10 star or higher
Part 4. Expanding
You all know how soul craft options work now. But there is still one more factor. You see, every
item may have up to 4 soulcraft options, and they cap out at Lv.15 with option plus if needed.

There is one more way to improve that, now let me explain.

If you had an item with these options:

Agility +30 (+15)
Strength +30 (+15)
Health +30 (+15)
Critical DMG +50% (+25%)
(Option Expand x1.5)

Then you would be getting the following stats in purple as your bonus from expand alone.
Expand is a multiplier.

How do you approach it?

Firstly, you need to do Windia farm to get [Option Expander] for Lv.2 and Lv.7. Lv.2 for
costumes, Lv.7 for other equipments.

A way to get critical fast. Is simply to expand your accessories Critical Rate +17%. And your
Agility. To expand follow this simple step

Expand from x1.0 to x1.3

Use only [Option Expander] of appropriate level for your item until it is x1.3 without [Option
Expander Insurance]

Expanding from 1.3x+

Now you do the same, except you use [Option Expander Insurance]
How do you get one?
When you are producing Option expander, simply make 92% or higher of the materials used be
of the ‘Blessed’ type. This way you will get Insurances.

What is recommended for my level?

Elga trying to get Insignia? <- 1.3 ~ 1.4 all items
Want to enigma? <- 1.6 all items you should try to get 1.7 or 1.8 on the weapon/back/bracelet
Part 5. The Trinity Rings
Okay so you’re insignia tier, or maybe even less. But you’re looking into the rings. Namely,
Solar, Stella, Lunar.

What is the most efficient way to farm it:

- There isn’t really that much of an efficient way, other than stick to farming F6, Do wanted
Quest possible with higher level you can get Stardust alot of it actually.

Recommendation
● Daily 10 runs of F6
● Work on Prism Star Level for Stardust from Prism Star
● Buy Stardust from people if you don’t need the gems for anything else specific

Which rings should I get first?

You should go with Solar, it gives you critical dmg. And you’re already on the path of Incredibly
high critical rate, possibly already maxed it.
For second you should get Stella, the last one you can do solar again, as you can just exchange
it later on.

To make trinity, you actually need to have 3 [15 star rings] fully Insignia upgraded. Meaning Tier
3 insignia rings. Combine the 3 and you get Trinity. You will eventually want 2 of trinity, that
means 6 rings in total. And a lot of grind at insignia. You’ll need concentrated essence, you’ll
probably want to buy some from people if your luck is terrible with drops.
Part 6. Strength and Intelligence
At this point, you’ve learnt all the ways to upgrade things (currently possible)
Now the only thing you need to keep in mind when upgrading your stats further is this

1. Always have 95% critical rate or higher

2. Get a lot of Phys DMG Reduction and the magic one too, can never have to little

If you can follow these 2, then you can start sacrificing unneeded AGI and start pumping into
STR/INT.

Ideally you want [Volcano MK5] set. And all your bonus points allocated into STR/INT including
Passives that give STR Mastery/INT Mastery at Lv.10 if it exists. Even buffs can give STR/INT
Masteries. Masteries amplify how much ATK/MATK you gain from STR/INT.

From here on out, you’ll be on the scavenge to look for any way to keep your critical rate, while
increasing STR/INT and Critical DMG%
