Part 1: Explanations
Part 2: Shilla Legends


A long way still lies ahead. Will you survive?
After the last quest(s), a new quest will be available for you, at least when you have met the restrictions. Rescuing the Druid Master can be done when you can enter the Druid Keep, and you'll need 330 Intelligence to do so. Fortunately, the enemies aren't incredibly tough. With the best armor, and Bedazzle at level 300, Magic Shield at Level 200 or preferably higher like level 250, you only need around 1400 Life, even less to withstand the maximum hits of Black Dragons. The Black and White Dragons in the Keep are Air, so if you chose Fire Align, like I told you at the beginning of this guide, you will have a HUGE advantage in the whole Veterans Section of this guide. If you're Earth however.. ouch. Your goal for now is to save the Druid Master. Your training area will be the Dungeons, and I assume you should be training here by now. Perhaps you'll have to train some more in the DDF if you can't 1-rd the Dungeons yet, but don't worry, you soon will 1-rd the Dungeons. The Dungeons is a dark area, so you will need to equip a Lightening Ring if you don't have Nightvision, like some races such as Kobolds, Elfs or Arachnids do. Stay with the Executioners, Dungeon Guards and Dungeon Masters, in the main corridors, and don't bother with the cells. You'll make the most exp this way. The food is good. Pick up the Swill and Jail Bait, and stock up on it to prepare your raid on the Druid Keep. Train your ass off literally, since after all this sitting, your ass really does hurt when you're not sitting on a comfortable chair (that's the secret). If you have some money, and you haven't visited the Dwarven Stronghold yet, then now's a good time to do so. Here's a Map. Buy a Dwarven Bangle (Adds +40 Str,+40 Dex,+40 Con and +40 Chr), and be sure to have a lot of money in the bank and not too much spells.. so they won't kill you on sight. Also, try out the mines, and get a Black Pearl and a Gold Pixie Dust. With these ingredients you can forge a Black Trunk for more slots at the Trader. Ask for the Red Ruby Gauntlets to be sent to you. It's always nice to have 5 more slots, and this item will never dissapear from you inventory, even if you die! So that's a really good investment. After this, we'll just go for it after you've boosted some of your life. Boost your Str and Con; They should be pretty low in comparisation to your dex. If you have about 1500 Life, you should be fine. Kick-in your Bedazzle and Magic Shield, and be sure to have 330 Int and 260 Wis before you talk to the Mayor. The Wisdom shouldn't be a problem if you've done the Reaper Quest already, but if you haven't, get the 260 Wis.
Mages should train in the Dungeons too, and still there's not much else to say. You won't have to boost your Int and Wis to get the quests, which is an advantage, so you can keep raising your Int, Wis and Chr, your fighting stats. If you're a Pixie, and if you managed to get 2 E-rings (Engagement Rings), it's a good time to buy Wraith Gloves from Necropolis. Don't worry, you'll get one pretty soon anyway.


Raiding the Druid Keep
Around 1500 Life, check. Bedazzle and Magic Shield kicked-in, check. A grand Swill supply, check. 330 Int, check. Let's raid the Druid Keep, then! The first level is pretty easy, just beat the Keep Druids to death, and move on towards the second level. You must fight your way through the Keep, just like with the Castle. The second level has Minotaurs, which can be pretty tough. I know you can handle them. The third level has White Dragons, that drop Dragon Ribs. Pick these up as you move along. The last level has Black Dragons, which are the strongest of the four. Keep healing yourself, and at the end, save the Druid Master. Congratulations, you've just gotten yourself 300 Million Experience and 30 QP! With this exp, you should go boost your Dex and Chr skyhigh... your Dex because you'll want the new attacks, and the Chr because you're going to want the Village Armor one of these days, don't you? The moment you reach 3600 WS (or 3960 WS), ask for Village Armor in chat. It'll save you loads of money. Now you should continue training in the Dungeons.. and perhaps get a new weapon, too? The Rod of Destiny can be gotten from Limbo when you have 1750 WS or more, but that requires dying, unless you're a Pixie of course. It can be sent to you when you have 2750 WS. You probably have around that number, so ask for a ROD in chat. It's a good weapon, BUT it misses alot. If you're in the Ranger Guild, and you want this weapon, leave the Ranger Guild, as it will make the ROD a better weapon. It's damage is grand though, so it'll definately help you getting to the next area(s). Have you tried the Reaper's Walkway yet? If not, try training and 1-rd'ing there. If you can, that's great. After that, you'll move on the Keep Druids, and then White and Black Dragons.. and perhaps a few Butlers..
Mages just raid the Keep in the same way, but you'll really have to check your life. It's difficult to get your life so high, so it'll definately help if you're Fire Align. Train your Magic Shield much higher to have better chances of survival. With the exp you get from the quest, you can train your Int and Chr. If you reach 2500 WS, you should ask for a Ruby Mace in chat. It's a great mana weapon, and your last for quite a long time. After spending your exp, get back to training in either the Dungeons or Reaper's Walkway.


Training Time & Arch Angel
You've done an important portion of the game already, and you'll soon be ready for the Druid Keep, if not already. You should try to 1-rd Keep Druids, but if you can't, move back to the Reapers, which still give quite good experience. Spend your exp on dex, especially when you have the ROD. Forget about Str & Con for a while. If you're someone who dies pretty often, then boost your Chr. Don't worry about the dying, soon I'll teach you a couple of tricks to recover really fast. When you're training on the Keep Druids already, focus more on your dex again. You'll need the attacks, so that you can 1-rd the next level in the Druid Keep .. and I wasn't really talking about the Minotaurs, because they suck, but I'm talking about White Dragons. If you're Fire align, then you'll be having a great time for the next couple levels, since you'll be strong against the creatures you're about to face. The White Dragons will give good experience, but you'll notice that they aren't cheapskates. They give a good amount of money, and now is the time to save up your money for the best set of Armor you're going to get for a long time. The Village Armor. This set consists out of a Dwarven Helm (+200 Str), Halfling Necklace (+200 Chr), Elven Cloak (+200 Dex), Orcish Leggings (+200 Wis), Elven Boots (+200 Dex), and Draconian Shield (+200 Con). If you're pretty sure you don't die often, get the Elven Boots first, so you'll have a good boost of Dex. If you want to save some money on the later pieces, buy a Halfling Necklace first, which gives you some good Chr. Anyway, always try to keep a few millions in the bank, so you always have some recovery money! Also, always ask people to send Village Armor to you, when you have 3600 WS or more. I mean it, it saves money. And now that we've been talking about Village Armor here, it might also be a good time to talk about the Village Armor quests. There's 3 of them, and I think they require at least 3600 WS to do, and a certain amount of Wisdom. If you can't do them, try raising your Wisdom a bit by buying a Clear Crystal Amulet, for example. Anyway, the first one is the Mana Part. The quest can be gotten one spot south of the Outskirts Crossroads (That leads to Maze .. Vast Valley and Druid Valley). Kill a few creatures on that spot, and someone will shop up, asking you to get him a Shining Claw. Now, you can go and get it yourself in the Inner Maze, or you can ask someone to send it to you. Either way, you can choose from Orcish Leggings, Wraith Gloves and Halfling Necklace. I suggest you take the Halfling Necklace, which makes buying other things cheaper. The second quest is the Life Part. Go to the Park Ranger (Mountain Entrance) spot. From here, go West, South, West. On this spot, you must kill a few creatures again. A kobold will shop up, asking you to fetch 4 pearl pieces for him. I suggest you kill Unicorn, Kraken, Tortured Criminal, and either Quetzalcoati or some Holy Knights. Or, if you don't want to get it yourself, ask the pieces to be sent to you. Anyway, don't bother with the Pearl Leggings, as the Green Nymph is way too hard too find in the Maze. When you're done, you can choose from Dwarven Helm, Elven Boots, and Draconian Shield. I suggest you choose the Draconian Shield, unless you haven't bought the Elven Boots yet. In the last case, get the Elven Boots. The third quest covers the whole set of armor, and it can be found in the Cemetary. CAREFULLY head over to the spot with the sign pointing to Necropolis. Don't enter it, as you will die instantly. Head EAST (x1) from here, and kill a bunch of creatures in that spot. A man will appear, who'll ask you to get him a Rod of Destiny. Either give him yours, or ask for one to be sent to you in chat. You'll need to give him one anyway. He'll let you choose from all village armor pieces. Always get the Elven Cloak out of this, as it's by far the most expensive, and it adds 200 Dex.
As a mage, always buy the Halfling Necklace first. It adds damage, and also lowers prices by quite some. Second comes the Wraith Gloves, which give you an Int boost, which means more attacks. And that's always good. As for the Mana Village Armor quest, get the Wraith Gloves. As for the Life Village Armor quest, it's hard to choose, but I'd go with a Dwarven Helm. Gets you some Strength. When you can choose from everything, I suggest you get the Orcish Leggings. It's an expensive mana piece, and you'll get the Halfling Necklace yourself. While you're training hard, and making money too, another goal quickly emerges. You can do another quest soon, which is to save the Arch Angel. You'll need 501 Wisdom to get this quest from the Mayor, and of course 370 Int to enter the Sky Castle, where the Arch Angel is located at. You'll definately need Bedazzle, just at level 400 is already great. Magic Shield is also definately a MUST-have for this quest, as it'll help alot. Level 300 is good, but higher is always nice. With 2k Life you'll have a good chance of completing the quest without any problems, and even with lower life it's possible to do it, but there's always a chance that one of the two enemies you need to beat, gets a surprise hit that Bedazzle doesn't stop, and then you're toast. But at 2k Life I don't see that happening. Anyway, in the Sky Castle, which you can enter by the Shimmering Portal at the mountain top by the way, you don't have to fight creatures to walk, so don't fight them. In the 3rd Level, you'll have to fight the Air Elemental.. which is actually more powerful than the Arch Angel himself sometimes. He blocks half of your weapon damage, and has some hard armor too, but he also has three hits, so Bedazzle makes him miss often, and Magic Shield cuts down the damage. Kill him, and the Golden Doors will show. Proceed, and face the Arch Angel. Don't forget to heal yourself all the time, and keep on attacking. When he's dead, you'll get a Ruby Ring, 40 Quest Points and .. 600 million experience!! Yeah that's right, you get that much. Take one of the Portals for fun, doesn't matter which. Spend the experience on Dex and Chr ONLY. After that great boost, you might be able to 1-rd Black Dragons already. If not .. then there's always the Sand Mansion.
Mages should boost alot of Life, so they can beat the AA (=Arch Angel). If you've gotten the 2 E-rings from the Desert, then there's no need to boost your Chr. If you haven't, you should boost Chr.. but you should also definately get those E-rings. Furthermore, get your Magic Shield up to level 400, and your life to 1900. Then you can also beat the AA, and with that Exp you can boost more Int.


A Sand Mansion and a Sky Castle
After the AA, it's a good time to try and get the Kobold Raiders Quest. The quest is randomly gotten by a Town Guard in town (meet 1000+ Guards), and you can NOT get the quest if you have an other quest active already (such as the guardians, or something). So make sure you try to get this one first. More info about restrictions isn't known yet (such as Wis/Int restrictions). You must save the Town from the raiding Kobolds, and when you help, you must kill a bunch at each of the 4 entrances of Town, which will take a while. However, the Kobolds only have 400k Life, and if you can 1-rd Blacks, you can probably 1-rd them too. Since they give 300k experience, it's also great training, as it's much better than Blacks, and even Sky Castle. Profit from this. When you've done the quest you'll also get a 5% discount at all Town Traders, which is Trader Jack & Bob, which is pretty damn nice, along with 20 QP. The discount will DEFINATELY help you with your Village Armor, and it will save you alot of money on the rest of the things you'll buy through the Traders.. which will be quite some. Also after having beaten the AA, you'll be stuck on Black Dragons. You'll most likely 1-rd them. But wether you do or not, you should check out the Sand Mansion when you have between 1k and 2k Base Dex. Then you can enter the path, and for the secret entrance you need 1025 Base Dex. It's on the East of the Far Beach End Teleport. The mansion path only has Starfish, which are a level in-between White and Black Dragons. This is a Map of the Mansion & Mansion Path. In the Mansion itself, you can fight Butlers etc, which all-in-all give better exp than Black Dragons, especially the Jesters. During the day, they will roam the Mansion, but during the night they retreat to their quarters, and you can choose which specific ones you want to fight. Anyway, I know fighting Black Dragons is alot easier, but it's also more boring, so you can see the Sand Mansion as an alternative for them. And a decent one too. If you're Fire Align, you're going to be able to get to the Sky Castle pretty fast, but if you're not, it's probably going to take a bit longer. But no worries, you're going to be just fine. You'll need to train now, and really quite some. Black Dragons or the Sand Mansion, it doesn't really matter what you're killing, but just make sure you're killing the creatures that give you the fastest experience. How can you check that? Well, it's pretty easy. From now on, the Creature Reward Page will help you choose where to fight, if you're in need of gold or exp (who isn't?). If that doesn't help enough, and you want to check in for yourself, because you want to compare creatures you can 1-rd, and creatures you can only 2-rd, then use an other method. Write down your exp and gold, then train for 10 mins on the creatures without doing anything else at all, and train as fast as you can. Then write down how many exp & gold you've gained. Do the same with the other creatures, for 10 minutes. Then compare the numbers, and see for yourself what's better for you to train at. Just remember: 2-rounding creatures always brings greater risks of dying, and you should ALWAYS have your Bedazzle and Magic Shield activated. But back to business we go. Your next goal is to 1-rd the Sky Castle. The first and second levels are useless to train at, because you'll need to 1-rd the Angel Guards there too, and since they're the strongest creature around there, you can just go to the 3-rd level and kill there. And there's Seraph Angels too, that give three GREAT Golden Showers. And don't look dirty eating them, they heal for a great amount, and that's what matters. Like I said many times before, if you're Fire align this all won't be much of a problem, otherwise train your ass off on Black Dragons and maybe in the Mansion. Don't forget to buy Village Armor now and then, when you get the money for it! When you have the Halfling Necklace and the Elven Boots, you should get a Dwarven Helm, and then the Draconian Shield. Always get the Elven Cloak the latest, as it's too expensive to buy one so early on. Besides, dying with it would suck like hell.
Mages definately don't need the Elven Cloak, nor the Elven Boots really (and it won't help getting you into the Mansion since you need 1025 Base Dex at least), so just buy the Orcish Leggings first. Then, when you have more spare money, you can always get some Life stats by buying the other pieces. But keep your gold in the bank too, just to have recovery gold. You'll have to train alot on Black Dragons, because you're probably not going to get into the Mansion since you don't have 1025 Base Dex, or at least you shouldn't. So focus on the Sky Castle and train your ass off on Blacks. With the E-rings you got, you've already gotten a really great boost so it's taking less long than it's taking fighters. Once you're in the Sky Castle.. you're.. well, not yet in heaven, even though the surroundings might look like it. But there's plenty of food, and you'll definately be glad that you left those Black Dragons behind you. After having trained some in the Sky Castle, I think it's only fair to call yourself a professional.
