Monster Arena Farming Guide

~MONSTER ARENA FARMING GUIDE~

What is the Monster Arena? Well, basically it's a realm where only the toughest players can conquer. The Monster Arena is wherein players can kill monsters that provide points that can be exchanged in the Monster Arena NPC for Arena Balls and then are used to buy precious items from the Arena shop. To be frank this guide helps players new to the concept of "Monster Arena".

Monster Arena NPC
(Malaya 253, 358)

WHAT DO YOU NEED INSIDE THE MONSTER ARENA?

-Arena Entrance Pass
This item must be in your inventory when you enter the Arena,
you can buy one from the Arena Shop via ETC tab for 50 credits.
FAQ: Yes it has unlimited uses.
-Healing Potions or "POTS"
This is obviously a no brainer, monsters inside the arena hit hard and fast,
squishy characters can easily die off without the proper potion timing.

-Fly Wings & Butterfly Wings

Fly Wings provide quick escapes for when the mobs gang up on you

while Butterfly Wings are used to teleport to town. 

(Other than that you would have to talk to the exit NPCs 
that are located at each other ends of the map)

-Aspersio Scrolls and Holy Water

This will enchant your weapon with Holy property
to deal more damage against Arena MVPs.
(You can buy Aspersio Scrolls from the TCG shop &
Holy Water from the mall via @mall)
-Soul Link Balls
Fuzzion Ragnarok Online has modified Soul Links
enabled in some jobs such as LK allowing them
to use Parry and two hand quicken whilst holding
a one handed weapon.

        ~Arena Facts~

• Skills ARE ENABLED inside the Arena.
  
• Most monsters inside the Arena deal Neutral damage.
  
• Most monsters have the same properties and weaknesses with their reference.                                                                                 (i.e. Arena Boss shares the same race and property with Satan Morroc which is Demon & Shadow 4)
  
• Abysmal Knight cards work on Arena Monsters considered as MVP.
  
• Like all other mobs Arena Mobs can be inflicted with status effects.
  
• When you die you do not lose your Arena Points.
  
• Some monsters inside the Arena are not Thanable.
  

~Characters and Builds~

         Here I will be discussing the jobs, gears and cards that will surely help you when you enter the Arena. Please do note that better equipment will always give better results in terms of damage, defense and Arena Points farming.

(P.S. I will not be posting the DD sinx build here because it has already been made in another topic)

Pros

• Highest Damage Output of all the suitable jobs
  
• Warm Wind Advantage
  
• Good for clearing out MVPs
  
• Has the skill Leap for quick escapes
  

Cons

• Soul Link dependent
  
• Weak against multiple mobs
  
• Difficulty of Job is above average
  

Important Skills

•  Warm Wind (Lvl 2 and Lvl 7)
  
•  Leap
  
•  Solar, Lunar & Stellar Perception (Lvl 1, 2 & 3. This is your Feel Settings)
  

•  Solar Protection (Solar Perception must be set)
  
•  Lunar Protection (Lunar Perception must be set)
  
•  Stellar Protection (Stellar Perception must be set)
  
•  Solar, Lunar & Stellar Opposition (Lvl 3 in the arena. This is your Hatred Settings)  
  

•  Parry (Soul Link Needed)
  
•  Solar, Lunar & Stellar Union (Soul Link Needed, this skill is what makes Star Gladiators float)
  

Feel and Hatred Setting for Dummies:

You must set your Perception INSIDE the Arena in order to use the corresponding skills

(i.e. Solar Perception let's you use Solar Protection and etc.)

Opposition can be used on ONE specific Monster at a time and all levels are dependent on the Monster's size

(Level 1 is for Small/ Level 2 is for Medium/ Level 3 is for Large)

You can always reset your Feel and Hatred with @feelreset & @hatereset

Activating Solar, Lunar & Stellar Union:

Alrightyyyy here is where most players can't use Star Gladiators properly

because they don't even know how to activate this skill. So long story short you

will need to be in Soul Link State in order to activate this Skill.

Once you are in a Soul Link state you can activate your Solar, Lunar & Stellar Union Skill.

TIPS & Reminders:

• When you activate your Union skill you need to be soul linked again in order to use Parry.
  
• You can adjust your stats along while using all Solar/Lunar/Protection for better Damage Scaling.
  
• Leap can be used as a substitute for Fly Wing as it is spammable.

The Skill   Kihop is a great way to up the damage of your Star Gladiator, this skill Increases your Attack Power by 10%*Number of party Members. To take advantage of this skill all you need is party members wherein must be inside the arena, it doesn't matter if they are dead or not.
