Hey Davey! Just wanted to give you my thanks on this video since I had this random urge to return to Mabi haha. I've been playing on and off since 2008 but only ever came up on 3k total level (pitiful lol; I left the game so many times due to school and lack of friends playing this game) but seeing the quality of your videos on Mabi gave me renewed confidence in playing and enjoying the game again now that there's so much content! Still learning a lot of new stuff but your videos made it a bit more easy to understand. Hope to see you in-game some time!!
That's awesome Alex. Glad I can invigorate once again, haha, and thank you for the compliments. I appreciate it a lot. Let me know if you need anything in-game, okay? See you in the realm!
hello! i was rewatching this today and im struck by how easy it is to follow your guide. i’m not sure if it’s your format, your demeanor, or your pacing - but I have ADHD and this was one of the easiest guide videos i’ve been able to follow. Thank you and I hope you make more instructional videos!!! so much of mabinogi’s theory crafting has been difficult for me to access so it’s cool content creators like you are making stuff like this!
Can do society sponsorships quests from Melwyn in Dunbarton and just buy skill training multiplier potions instead of buying them from the Auction House as well, depending on how long you need the potion for
Yeah, good point. It's great to see how many ways you can get crap now. I still think the game needs more things accessible like equip slots and time...
Im happy to see Mabinogi still going strong. I wish i could get back into it and enjoy it. I find myself logging in, and without my old friend group to lead the way and come up with things to do, i stand around in dunbarton mulling over my quests and losing the will to play. I really wanted to get my life skills up as i enjoy crafting, but some of those skills are still archaic and need serious updating. Blacksmithing and fine leather, im looking at you.
Well there is a name I haven't seen in many many years. *waves* I'm Nasumirayne - unsure if you still remember me. ^^ I've been back since the last 8(?) months and would love to give you a hand with anything you need.
my biggest mistake was buying NPC gear. players now sell average gacha gear at the same price or lower than the stuff found in NPCs shops with better stats and the repair costs seem to have been nerfed so as long as you dont go too crazy and buy celtic or focused + beam gear repairing whatever players are selling is more than affordable. I know that Blaanid gives you gear but I duel wield so i was missing a sword and her armor is kinda meh compared to something you get from players if you know what to look for. Edit: was true until I posted this lol prices were good til the other day so ignore this. Also i do have advice on gear, the adventure set got buffed since i last looked at it making it the perfect replacement for blaanid set if you dont feel like raising exploration level to 15
Yes. That g1 gear has smash enhancement on it which is huge. It's sad that duel wield has fallen far from where it was. Maybe in the future that will play a bigger role??
Thank you very much. I think I make these now since the game is sort of meshing out combat more and maybe in time these videos will help many others who want to try the game.
@Ballpuncher let me get my shopping list together here, destruction robe, special forgotten draconian pure wing (enchantable) , and a ruination staff please and thank you 🤪
This is probably the best mabi video I've seen so far. Please God keep making videos, so many of the other content creators kind of suck. I'm not trying to be mean, but their videos are very lazy and leave me of more questions than answers half the time
Been getting back into mabi and your vids have been amazingly helpful. Like I've played on and off since around 2007 and it is wild how much more intuitive and approachable the game has become. Like even just a few years ago I could not imagine getting to mabinogi endgame as even a goal because of the huge time and money sinks.
Hell yeah, dude. Yeah, I've barely spent any real life money on the game. I think I just bought a few pets that I wanted and I think some black friday stuff. Never really gatcha'd. The game is more accessible than ever now it's just there is so much content that it's overwhelming and mabo sucks ass at explaining things, haha. Hopefully, the revamp of the start of the game is a lot more streamlined. I imagine we will see that implemented later this year. Let me know if you need anything and I hope to see you on the battlefields, haha.
Yeah would love to get more people into the game but it is just so overwhelming even now, the start of game rework will be hella welcomed. I still got quite a ways before I'll be doing anything harder than cumulative 20k but been havin a blast.
@@WGG-01 On april 8th, Kr is going to have a test server for players to test out EK and HS buffs. The mabi director said he wants the Arcanas to be on par with Dark diviner. So, expect a buff in the future.
Mabi KR had to add a lot of new channels just to compensate for the amount of players. They are actively updating the game and adding content with a new engine for mab just announced like a half a year ago. Maybe that means the card game will come back in as a feature??? : o
This was a very helpful guide. I've been playing since the beta but I felt like my character was weak af. Now I see where I missed things lol. I didn't know Blannid could take you so far.
Wow good stuff. ngl, rn I feel like such a drag on my guild, since there's so many bloody directions to go, I have no sense of priority, and I usually jump into a quest line that just wallops me. It makes me not want to play, but this helps me understand the important parts and think that maybe I can get to a point where I can actually return some of the favors done for me. It wasn't gear. It wasn't crafting skill. It wasn't farming boatloads of gold or enchanting or rerolling, or DAN3 skills or GMs or pets or teks or combo cards or the other 643 things. Just do the G quests. Get Arcana. Smack things for 20k (I hope) Thanks
I watched this guy's crom videos and got me a marble which i sold for over 300m. I used that money to eventually get me a divine blade. Now i'm able to solo feth advanced. Follow this guy's guides if you want to run content. Good luck to you.
I think everything I've posted so far is a foundation to being op. The stuff like gear, eses, dan3, tech cards, and combo cards and the other 643 things(haha) make the combination to endgame. With good stats and arcana, however, I think you'll be surprised how hard you will hit. Be sure to check out my debuff guide to understand prot and how that plays a role. Part 2 to this video will go into buffing, so I hope you find that video useful when I upload it. Let me know if you need anything. and keep having fun. Don't get discouraged. Enjoy the journey and time with friends : )
Love the guide, the only issue is the grandmastering stuff. For a new player, getting that 1,000,000 gold for a grandmaster rank is not the easiest thing to do. More often than not, you will master most things before getting 1,000,000 gold for even one title to become grandmaster. Making gold in this game, sadly, is through Gacha early on. The big money comes from mid/end game stuff such as, well, dan 3 blacksmithing for certain gear crafts, enchants you get, again, from difficult dungeons/bosses/raids or, again, Gacha. I feel like informing people of that won't give them the false perspective they can Grandmaster Warrior in 4-5 days, which would be completely possible if not for the 1,000,000 gold hinderance you face.
Thanks. I appreciate it! : D Oh dude, check out the growth guide that just came out. You get a brass GM cert with 200 points from the growth guide. Then you get another 5 certificates with each gm you get after that. I think you get a total of 6 free certificates just from the growth guide. I'll go over the growth guide when I make my starting out vid and I talk about it a lot in my upcoming vid. Check out all the crap you get from it though. I am very confident you can make a 25k+ character without ever spending any real life money or very little if any in-game gold. You can also start running glenn with 50 total levels in arcana and you can sell threads for millions and if you get lucky an enchant as well as mats. Raids make a fuck ton of gold, too. Hasi is great for gold as well. There's tons of ways to make gold. But, yeah, haha, you can def make a lot of gold fast if you spend money. : )
To add to the stat damage breakdown STR can actually add a lot to bolt damage. As it not only benefits from your attack but bolts get more from attack than magic attack. Also the Alban knight emblems are another way to increase stats.
Good point. I think I am trying to give as general of a gist to it all as to introduce. My main goal is not to overwhelm but ease players into it all. Yes! I mention emblems in my document in the description. Emblems are huge.
@@Ballpuncher yeah my point was definitely more supplementary. Happened to myself and I see it happen with other new players where it feels like your damage isn't increasing. Int only really helps cast time but does very little for damage until int spells. It's a really strange interaction and I'm still baffled by the choice to do it that way.
I wish I would have gotten into this game when it was new, but I was pretty much exclusively playing Diablo 2, StarCraft, and skateboarding. Then the Xbox 360 came out. I've tried it a few times but it's just so overwhelming. Maybe I'll come back to this video once their graphic update releases lol.
D2 and starcraft are never a bad option. Waiting will probably be better since they are still adding tons of QoL stuff and revamping everything. Let me know if you ever decide to try it out again. : )
I'm a returning player. Do you suggest creating a new account for the benefits or sticking with my level 6500? It's wild to me that 20k+ total is a thing nowadays lol
Your benefits should still be the same on your current char than a new one in terms of the Blaanid rewards. If you have not started Blaanid quests, your levels will still increase just the same as they would if you made a new char. If you completed gens like g1 to g18, blaanid will still reward you the levels for those when that specific generation quests comes up in the Blaanid chain. After you reach 20k, the reward for those quests will be a 1/5 of what they are if you were under 20k. And yeah, 20k+ is crazy, haha. I feel like that's a drawback for new players(not saying you are one) to see. I hope a video like this can show it's not nearly as insane as it sounds. Have fun, brother.
nope your were thourough dont forget side quests when your grinding that would be dum if you skip its increase to 500-600 in stats i thought id let you know dont skip side quests
Theres a handful that are permanent theyre littole stories then they end when you finish them alot of it is book crap theres commerce side quest therses a couple npc side quests you just go up and talk to them it starts quests theye not main storyline quests remember they were talking aout the new update when we switch over mst of those quests will be gone i thiught id let you know just like all the dailes its best to pick a handful they dont give you mch theres interesting stuff from original stuff like jokes theres alot just have to look fo it
Small tip for new players attempting to level up: Instead of using random doll bags to collect gold as suggested in the video, the 3 doll bags you obtain from doing Blaanid when all summoned together give a +10% combat exp bonus. 👍
I'd rather just sacrifice the 10% exp gain for the extra time of the dolls picking gold up in dungeons to cut down the time wasted picking shit up lol. But yeah this is an option if you don't play more than 3 hours a day
@RaidenKaiser These won't be the only doll bags you have access to as you can buy more from other players on the AH. This was just a tip on leveling up faster.
Check out his debuffing guide and gathering guide. Not exactly what you asked for, but shows you how to hit a lot of enemies with ele Knight smash. Hope that helps!
So, I have like a 55 minute video I have been working on covering each talent which involves play styles and stuff. You can actually see a snippet of it at the end of this vid: th-cam.com/video/XolLg0jIuU4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Sh9ZP4gS2j7Jw99p. The problem is mabi keeps evolving! making that vid obsolete. I think what I am going to do is when bow and staff arcana come out, I might do a vid on all 4 of those. Great suggestion, jade!
Is there a point to levelling up after hitting 40k? Also, which race do you think is the "best"? Or rather, what does each race excel at? Great vid btw, it was very helpful!
Thanks for the question. Leveling after 40k is mostly for more AP and Arcana leveling when working on them or when new ones come out. The Archer and Mage Arcana will come out in December, so we will need to level to increase those. I mention this at 6:58, but I don't think I made it apparent enough. My fault. As far as race, I want to make a guide about starting and getting into Blaanid stuff where I would talk about races, but ww3 could start with a "best race" discussion. I think the best way I can put it is Giant is "easy mode" and has the best racial skills and are tanky and strong, humans can sort of do everything alright, and elves are "hard mode" and typically cost a lot to make them good. Any race, however will work. I know I said elves are "hard mode" and I think that will change with archery arcana they may even be best race after that, but they still require a lot of gear I think. In other words, Giant= melee/fighter OP, human=everything pretty good, and elves = archer OP. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything.
solid vid, only 2 mistake 1:shine of eweca stats that isnt really noticable long term, elfs actually get the more str out of any race at 447 str, well humans and giants get 334 making the actual stat cap for str higher on elf, but lack the better equipment to ever notice this. well int on the other hand human and elfs get 237 int and giants get 269 int for a 32(6.4 matk) over the others, this one also isnt as noticable since giants tend to RB into ages that benefits str and will and gain 0 int on lvl up(age 15 and below give 0 int), so most giants i come across dont actually hit int stat cap. giant also have more dex, and elfs have more will, the will one sadly doesnt make a difference because giants got a inate combo multi of +40% well elfs only got +20%. i do believe this was a weird attempt of balancing stats across races, but not understanding why that small amount actually did nothing. 2: stats increase by arcana is +40 for ever 10 arcana lvls, the next one increases the cap to 150 so its another +200
I think elves should get a unique dagger skill, giants have something and humans do too for melee but, elves the only thing they have is probably higher synergy with fighter because of their insane strength cap and their fast dex+will growths.Sadly tho fighter has been neglected so they don't even get to benefit from that because most enemies that are a threat now are immune to pummel go figure.
Not to mention pummel is basically suicide if you're built for it because anything else aggros you in the background you're fucked lol. I think elves need something melee it sucks that they only get a unique bow skill.
@@RaidenKaiser there is a tone of things they could do to make elves better, the access to AS does make it much different when we get it in NA. as for pummel, i actually see this get used here and there to let a enemy be locked down, lightning slimes mostly since you can knock them down when they are taking 0s and it last long enough even with ego to let others get it any attack in. my hope with the arcana its ascociated with is to allow it on heavy standard enemys since its multi isnt bad, does have the root to enemy issue though atill at that point
I have r1 in all skills except Synthesis, Fragmentation, and Rest, but I'm still so weak. Gear is prohibitively expensive so that's not something I can do. Will Arcana help me bridge the gap or am I forever locked out of raid/endgame content as a permanent brokie?
Yes, exponentially. This video is just one half of the pie. The other half will be in part two which will make you op. (I'm working on it!) but Arcana at level 50 and at least link 5 will make you so much more powerful even with newer equipment.
@@Ballpuncher Thank you! I'm looking forward to the video! Sometimes I'm just so lost, especially when looking at older posts on the subreddit where people have lower stats than me yet can output way higher damage. The game is really confusing.
@@seirahoshikoi5442 I completely understand. But, trust me when I say that arcana, especially elemental knight and dark mage will make you insanely over powered. Especially level 50ing one of those arcanas and getting to at least link 5. Could you tell me where you are at on your journey, haha? Let me know if you need anything.
@@Ballpuncher I'm currently leveling Harmonic Saint so I can contribute during Techs and other content as I don't have gear for EK or DM. I'm still using Blaanid gear which sadly doesn't give me a 2H sword for EK and my magic attack is only sitting at around 500 unless I equip the Master of Meteor Strike title. Damage is extremely lackluster in Techs which is to be expected, but HS lets me feel somewhat useful in the party at least LMAO I was ranking EK for stats before swapping over and that is currently sitting at level 34 with HS at 14 (I think. It's somewhere around there) and Link 1!
Yeah, so I have been planning to make a video about getting started. However, they are redoing everything in the beginning so I am waiting for that to happen. The beginning of the game is a joke, though. It's awful. Let me know if I can help.
Guys, do you know why is it that i can't skill exp (2x) 1-day duration potions from the auction house? I bought 2 music exp potions and it says that i can only buy 1 more potion and i'm done
So you cannot stack any skill potion, aka music pot, with an all skill potion. You can stack skill or all skill potions with a prism or a 2x skill title, etc. Also, the master plan event is a week or so away which will give you a big buff in training multipliers so get ready for that. Let me know if this helps. Good luck
for some reason my mouse binds wont work anymore with my razor mouse. it register scroll wheel up and down for height or zoom but i use to have it use my skill thew the razer software. also isnt letting me hit my side buttons even tho they work in every other game.
Razer software is awful, but I may have a solution for you since I had macro problems with Razer Synapse. If you close Razer Synapse down and then run it as administrator, it worked for me at least to start using the macro software. Hopefully that helps? But yeah, Razer software sucks ass, haha
Thanks for the comment. I would say once you get to mid game and end game the game is awesome in terms of combat. I'd say mid game starts when you get your arcana at 20k. That's the main reason I wanted to make this is to get a new player to that point as quick as one can. I'd say early game is questing and a lot of story content and ranking skills. I know a lot love the story stuff and training, so if that's your thing, throw on some youtube and enjoy. If not, grind it out with some youtube, haha. I don't want to jack the game off too much since no game is perfect but I think there would be no harm in trying it out. Nexon is constantly updating and making improvements to the game. It's a very active player base and everything is starting to feel more progressive. It's free and my vids are geared towards never spending a dime. Also, check this video out, the game is getting a new engine in the future and we are getting a ton of new weapons: th-cam.com/users/liveNipmavF6TKQ?si=wUSdXQGGYxsy9BRq Oh yeah, and a early game dungeon that has something to do with this video: th-cam.com/video/ykBnq5d-HCU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4C4E7WIGN1JeRfO2 let me know if you need anything or if you need a guild to help you out in game.
@@Ballpuncher Thank you so much for your answer. Since i still searching MMORPG that i can play with and enjoy.. Since i knew many korean game have grindy type but i will check it out
@@morfindog508 No prob. Not sure what a grind means to you but mab made the grind way way less like in the past year. From getting to 20k with just blaanid quests to having skills be very easily trainable. When they do biannual free rebirth months, I've seen people make new chars in like two weeks that are like 30k+ with gear, but that's like no life activity, you know? haha. Let me know if you enjoy it or not if you do try it out.
@@Ballpuncher I already download on steam but i had problem since just only play with VPN.. Maybe i need take a free times, already create an account and characther
Cp does matter still i kinda made a major fuck up i am low on sources for xp without running Shadow missions but the sadists at devcat decided to troll new players by putting a weekly limit on dungeons and SMs
Use a blaanid wand?? : 3 I think you just gotta use magic on them, sadly. You can also buy a celtic staff for very cheap to use whenever you need magic or a meteor dropper, haha.
@@Ballpuncher I just hate being forced to use magic when im built to melee, I suppose one enemy to use bolts on isnt too bad but this will be hell if i find a room full of wights cuz i wont have the int and mp to bother with tier 2 and tier 3 spells.
@@RaidenKaiser As a new player who has found myself in Peaca one too many times for whatever reason, alchemy seems to have worked quite well for me against wights. With beginner stats, water cannon does a considerable amount of damage compared to bolt damage
@cookieaceae0517 i slept on alchemy my last playthrough because I was trying to min max my strength before touching anything else, but this time I'm going through I kinda happy I gave it a try considering how fast stamina and mp drains later in the game sleeping on alchemy is a mistake and while I know arcana is better it's still really useful to new players.
Thank you for the compliment! There are free reforges now in game. In fact, there are many ways to get reforges now. It's driven the price of reforged gear down significantly, too actually. I don't want to jack the game off too much, but yeah. You get a lot of free pets now. I show you one way on how to get bone and mir dragons for free in my debuff guide. There are other ways to get more bone dragons for free, too. and the beginner quest line gives several pets for free, too. Extra equipment slots you can buy with gold. Not sure if it was always like that. Usually between 15-20m per extra slot. You do get a slot free and equipment slot time extensions can be purchased with dungeon vouchers and you can trade vouchers to that account's alts to purchase even more. I really think they should give you at least 3 equip slots for free with no time limit. That's my biggest gripe. Again not trying to jack the game off too much, nor am I speaking on Nexon's behalf, but they are actively improving the game and including many QoL features. I never spend money on the game. I don't even have VIP, haha; however, I think my circumstances may be different than other's. My aim with these videos, as well as the ones I'm working on, is to try to guide someone to mid/end game without spending a dime or having the temptation to even consider spending money on combat. Hope that helps.
@@Ballpuncher it helps a ton to know this. I haven't played in forever but do get the itch to try it again from time to time, it just always felt like catching up would be impossible without my wallet. So its good to know that isn't the case as much anymore.
i think nowhere to run elite is way better for beginners than telling them to do tech duinn. i just went into illusion normal and got my ass handed to me. a noob would surely do even worse
Yeah, I debated talking about nowhere to run but you need to be level 60 to enter and it can only get you to 150 without an event or captain passes. You also get a ton of gold doing those three rooms in illusion. Sorry you got shat on in illusion. Check out my crowd control guide to see how to contain them all and my debuff guide on how to make them easier to kill. If it still is difficult, let me know.
Hi. I think the only thing I screwed up was not adding guns to intelligence at 9:18. Intelligence and strength give max damage to guns.
I know mabinogi videos dont get much attention but please keep making content. I can already can tell you can have a popular channel.

Mabi KR had to add a lot of new channels just to compensate for the amount of players. They are actively updating the game and adding content with a new engine for mab just announced like a half a year ago. Maybe that means the card game will come back in as a feature??? : o
This was a very helpful guide. I've been playing since the beta but I felt like my character was weak af. Now I see where I missed things lol. I didn't know Blannid could take you so far.
Hell yeah, mabo needs to do better at making things more apparent. Glad you got something out of this, dude.
Ballpuncher,
You're the sexiest Guts cosplayer I've ever seen and I appreciate this guide and I love you.
Sincerely,
Ztarkey
Wow good stuff.
ngl, rn I feel like such a drag on my guild, since there's so many bloody directions to go, I have no sense of priority, and I usually jump into a quest line that just wallops me. It makes me not want to play, but this helps me understand the important parts and think that maybe I can get to a point where I can actually return some of the favors done for me.
It wasn't gear. It wasn't crafting skill. It wasn't farming boatloads of gold or enchanting or rerolling, or DAN3 skills or GMs or pets or teks or combo cards or the other 643 things.
Just do the G quests. Get Arcana. Smack things for 20k (I hope)
Thanks
I watched this guy's crom videos and got me a marble which i sold for over 300m. I used that money to eventually get me a divine blade. Now i'm able to solo feth advanced. Follow this guy's guides if you want to run content. Good luck to you.
I think everything I've posted so far is a foundation to being op. The stuff like gear, eses, dan3, tech cards, and combo cards and the other 643 things(haha) make the combination to endgame. With good stats and arcana, however, I think you'll be surprised how hard you will hit. Be sure to check out my debuff guide to understand prot and how that plays a role. Part 2 to this video will go into buffing, so I hope you find that video useful when I upload it. Let me know if you need anything. and keep having fun. Don't get discouraged. Enjoy the journey and time with friends : )
like legit your an actual god thanks for the tips i'm new
Awesome. Welcome to the realm! Let me know if you have any questions.
Love the guide, the only issue is the grandmastering stuff. For a new player, getting that 1,000,000 gold for a grandmaster rank is not the easiest thing to do. More often than not, you will master most things before getting 1,000,000 gold for even one title to become grandmaster. Making gold in this game, sadly, is through Gacha early on. The big money comes from mid/end game stuff such as, well, dan 3 blacksmithing for certain gear crafts, enchants you get, again, from difficult dungeons/bosses/raids or, again, Gacha. I feel like informing people of that won't give them the false perspective they can Grandmaster Warrior in 4-5 days, which would be completely possible if not for the 1,000,000 gold hinderance you face.
Thanks. I appreciate it! : D
Oh dude, check out the growth guide that just came out. You get a brass GM cert with 200 points from the growth guide. Then you get another 5 certificates with each gm you get after that. I think you get a total of 6 free certificates just from the growth guide. I'll go over the growth guide when I make my starting out vid and I talk about it a lot in my upcoming vid. Check out all the crap you get from it though.
I am very confident you can make a 25k+ character without ever spending any real life money or very little if any in-game gold. You can also start running glenn with 50 total levels in arcana and you can sell threads for millions and if you get lucky an enchant as well as mats. Raids make a fuck ton of gold, too. Hasi is great for gold as well. There's tons of ways to make gold.
But, yeah, haha, you can def make a lot of gold fast if you spend money. : )
To add to the stat damage breakdown STR can actually add a lot to bolt damage. As it not only benefits from your attack but bolts get more from attack than magic attack.
Also the Alban knight emblems are another way to increase stats.
Good point. I think I am trying to give as general of a gist to it all as to introduce. My main goal is not to overwhelm but ease players into it all.
Yes! I mention emblems in my document in the description. Emblems are huge.
@@Ballpuncher yeah my point was definitely more supplementary. Happened to myself and I see it happen with other new players where it feels like your damage isn't increasing. Int only really helps cast time but does very little for damage until int spells. It's a really strange interaction and I'm still baffled by the choice to do it that way.
I wish I would have gotten into this game when it was new, but I was pretty much exclusively playing Diablo 2, StarCraft, and skateboarding. Then the Xbox 360 came out. I've tried it a few times but it's just so overwhelming. Maybe I'll come back to this video once their graphic update releases lol.
D2 and starcraft are never a bad option.
Waiting will probably be better since they are still adding tons of QoL stuff and revamping everything. Let me know if you ever decide to try it out again. : )
I'm a returning player. Do you suggest creating a new account for the benefits or sticking with my level 6500? It's wild to me that 20k+ total is a thing nowadays lol
Your benefits should still be the same on your current char than a new one in terms of the Blaanid rewards. If you have not started Blaanid quests, your levels will still increase just the same as they would if you made a new char. If you completed gens like g1 to g18, blaanid will still reward you the levels for those when that specific generation quests comes up in the Blaanid chain. After you reach 20k, the reward for those quests will be a 1/5 of what they are if you were under 20k. And yeah, 20k+ is crazy, haha. I feel like that's a drawback for new players(not saying you are one) to see. I hope a video like this can show it's not nearly as insane as it sounds. Have fun, brother.
nope your were thourough dont forget side quests when your grinding that would be dum if you skip its increase to 500-600 in stats i thought id let you know dont skip side quests
Which side quests???
Theres a handful that are permanent theyre littole stories then they end when you finish them alot of it is book crap theres commerce side quest therses a couple npc side quests you just go up and talk to them it starts quests theye not main storyline quests remember they were talking aout the new update when we switch over mst of those quests will be gone i thiught id let you know just like all the dailes its best to pick a handful they dont give you mch theres interesting stuff from original stuff like jokes theres alot just have to look fo it
I'm pretty sure Int also boosts Dual Gun damage alongside Str.
Yeah, you're right. My friend told me that like a hour after uploading. I'm kicking myself for missing that, haha. Thank you for spotting that : )
Small tip for new players attempting to level up:
Instead of using random doll bags to collect gold as suggested in the video, the 3 doll bags you obtain from doing Blaanid when all summoned together give a +10% combat exp bonus. 👍
I'd rather just sacrifice the 10% exp gain for the extra time of the dolls picking gold up in dungeons to cut down the time wasted picking shit up lol. But yeah this is an option if you don't play more than 3 hours a day
Good point and thank you. I didn't even think about that, haha.
@RaidenKaiser These won't be the only doll bags you have access to as you can buy more from other players on the AH. This was just a tip on leveling up faster.
awesome guide! can you make a mini guide for EK possible build path and play style? since it’s pretty much the go to of most of us beginners
Check out his debuffing guide and gathering guide. Not exactly what you asked for, but shows you how to hit a lot of enemies with ele Knight smash. Hope that helps!
So, I have like a 55 minute video I have been working on covering each talent which involves play styles and stuff. You can actually see a snippet of it at the end of this vid: th-cam.com/video/XolLg0jIuU4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Sh9ZP4gS2j7Jw99p. The problem is mabi keeps evolving! making that vid obsolete. I think what I am going to do is when bow and staff arcana come out, I might do a vid on all 4 of those. Great suggestion, jade!
Is there a point to levelling up after hitting 40k? Also, which race do you think is the "best"? Or rather, what does each race excel at? Great vid btw, it was very helpful!
Thanks for the question. Leveling after 40k is mostly for more AP and Arcana leveling when working on them or when new ones come out. The Archer and Mage Arcana will come out in December, so we will need to level to increase those. I mention this at 6:58, but I don't think I made it apparent enough. My fault. As far as race, I want to make a guide about starting and getting into Blaanid stuff where I would talk about races, but ww3 could start with a "best race" discussion. I think the best way I can put it is Giant is "easy mode" and has the best racial skills and are tanky and strong, humans can sort of do everything alright, and elves are "hard mode" and typically cost a lot to make them good. Any race, however will work. I know I said elves are "hard mode" and I think that will change with archery arcana they may even be best race after that, but they still require a lot of gear I think. In other words, Giant= melee/fighter OP, human=everything pretty good, and elves = archer OP. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything.
@@Ballpuncher god... im an elf type and using Chain Blade... So I need to change to archer asap haha
@@PeterPan-ko6ri dark mage arcana will be staff and chain. I hear more and more that it will be the best arcana thus far
added you
I dont have a cool car : ( I have a GSXR, though
lol i meant added u on mab, well tried to, friends list too full. was gonna bother u with some questions about this video
@@Ballpuncher
@@AnotherwackGarage Ohh, haha. What's your ign. I'll add you or try now. Shouldn't be full now

@@Ballpuncher
solid vid, only 2 mistake
1:shine of eweca stats that isnt really noticable long term, elfs actually get the more str out of any race at 447 str, well humans and giants get 334 making the actual stat cap for str higher on elf, but lack the better equipment to ever notice this. well int on the other hand human and elfs get 237 int and giants get 269 int for a 32(6.4 matk) over the others, this one also isnt as noticable since giants tend to RB into ages that benefits str and will and gain 0 int on lvl up(age 15 and below give 0 int), so most giants i come across dont actually hit int stat cap. giant also have more dex, and elfs have more will, the will one sadly doesnt make a difference because giants got a inate combo multi of +40% well elfs only got +20%. i do believe this was a weird attempt of balancing stats across races, but not understanding why that small amount actually did nothing.
2: stats increase by arcana is +40 for ever 10 arcana lvls, the next one increases the cap to 150 so its another +200
I think elves should get a unique dagger skill, giants have something and humans do too for melee but, elves the only thing they have is probably higher synergy with fighter because of their insane strength cap and their fast dex+will growths.Sadly tho fighter has been neglected so they don't even get to benefit from that because most enemies that are a threat now are immune to pummel go figure.
Not to mention pummel is basically suicide if you're built for it because anything else aggros you in the background you're fucked lol. I think elves need something melee it sucks that they only get a unique bow skill.
@@RaidenKaiser there is a tone of things they could do to make elves better, the access to AS does make it much different when we get it in NA.
as for pummel, i actually see this get used here and there to let a enemy be locked down, lightning slimes mostly since you can knock them down when they are taking 0s and it last long enough even with ego to let others get it any attack in. my hope with the arcana its ascociated with is to allow it on heavy standard enemys since its multi isnt bad, does have the root to enemy issue though atill at that point
Thank you, Drantino for the info : )
I have r1 in all skills except Synthesis, Fragmentation, and Rest, but I'm still so weak. Gear is prohibitively expensive so that's not something I can do. Will Arcana help me bridge the gap or am I forever locked out of raid/endgame content as a permanent brokie?
Yes, exponentially. This video is just one half of the pie. The other half will be in part two which will make you op. (I'm working on it!) but Arcana at level 50 and at least link 5 will make you so much more powerful even with newer equipment.
Also, congrats on all you've done so far. It isn't easy
@@Ballpuncher Thank you! I'm looking forward to the video! Sometimes I'm just so lost, especially when looking at older posts on the subreddit where people have lower stats than me yet can output way higher damage. The game is really confusing.
@@seirahoshikoi5442 I completely understand. But, trust me when I say that arcana, especially elemental knight and dark mage will make you insanely over powered. Especially level 50ing one of those arcanas and getting to at least link 5. Could you tell me where you are at on your journey, haha? Let me know if you need anything.
@@Ballpuncher I'm currently leveling Harmonic Saint so I can contribute during Techs and other content as I don't have gear for EK or DM. I'm still using Blaanid gear which sadly doesn't give me a 2H sword for EK and my magic attack is only sitting at around 500 unless I equip the Master of Meteor Strike title.
Damage is extremely lackluster in Techs which is to be expected, but HS lets me feel somewhat useful in the party at least LMAO
I was ranking EK for stats before swapping over and that is currently sitting at level 34 with HS at 14 (I think. It's somewhere around there) and Link 1!
deepwoken looks different from how i remember it
Don't worry. In 15 years, Mabo is going to look like Genshin
I started doing Blannaid but I am giga overwhelmed by everything being given to me x_x
Yeah, so I have been planning to make a video about getting started. However, they are redoing everything in the beginning so I am waiting for that to happen. The beginning of the game is a joke, though. It's awful. Let me know if I can help.
@@Ballpuncher Do you have a server I can join?
@@Ballpuncher I have arrived
Time stamp 0:51 until 0:54 ... "going from *this* to *this* " ...
...but showing no change in stats or armor? What the heck?
@@Franka.1966 it's a joke. : ) since my character always wears a beginner skirt
Guys, do you know why is it that i can't skill exp (2x) 1-day duration potions from the auction house? I bought 2 music exp potions and it says that i can only buy 1 more potion and i'm done
So you cannot stack any skill potion, aka music pot, with an all skill potion. You can stack skill or all skill potions with a prism or a 2x skill title, etc. Also, the master plan event is a week or so away which will give you a big buff in training multipliers so get ready for that. Let me know if this helps. Good luck
Could you do some guides on Tech Duinn missions? I find those pretty intimidating for people who have never ran those before.
Yes, thank you. Working on it!
You weren't boring but I wish the game wasn't that detailed in leveling and maxing
@@sleepy_meggi yeah, it's way too much shit. That's sorta why I wanted this video made so at least there is a resource, haha.
for some reason my mouse binds wont work anymore with my razor mouse. it register scroll wheel up and down for height or zoom but i use to have it use my skill thew the razer software. also isnt letting me hit my side buttons even tho they work in every other game.
Razer software is awful, but I may have a solution for you since I had macro problems with Razer Synapse. If you close Razer Synapse down and then run it as administrator, it worked for me at least to start using the macro software. Hopefully that helps? But yeah, Razer software sucks ass, haha
@@Ballpuncher thanks i will give it a try
is it worth it new player try this game and is it fair for new player ? Thank you so much found your video
Thanks for the comment. I would say once you get to mid game and end game the game is awesome in terms of combat. I'd say mid game starts when you get your arcana at 20k. That's the main reason I wanted to make this is to get a new player to that point as quick as one can.
I'd say early game is questing and a lot of story content and ranking skills. I know a lot love the story stuff and training, so if that's your thing, throw on some youtube and enjoy. If not, grind it out with some youtube, haha.
I don't want to jack the game off too much since no game is perfect but I think there would be no harm in trying it out. Nexon is constantly updating and making improvements to the game. It's a very active player base and everything is starting to feel more progressive. It's free and my vids are geared towards never spending a dime.
Also, check this video out, the game is getting a new engine in the future and we are getting a ton of new weapons: th-cam.com/users/liveNipmavF6TKQ?si=wUSdXQGGYxsy9BRq
Oh yeah, and a early game dungeon that has something to do with this video: th-cam.com/video/ykBnq5d-HCU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4C4E7WIGN1JeRfO2
let me know if you need anything or if you need a guild to help you out in game.
@@Ballpuncher Thank you so much for your answer. Since i still searching MMORPG that i can play with and enjoy.. Since i knew many korean game have grindy type but i will check it out
@@morfindog508 No prob. Not sure what a grind means to you but mab made the grind way way less like in the past year. From getting to 20k with just blaanid quests to having skills be very easily trainable. When they do biannual free rebirth months, I've seen people make new chars in like two weeks that are like 30k+ with gear, but that's like no life activity, you know? haha. Let me know if you enjoy it or not if you do try it out.
@@Ballpuncher I already download on steam but i had problem since just only play with VPN.. Maybe i need take a free times, already create an account and characther
@@morfindog508 Download it through the nexon launcher. The steam version is giving a lot of players issues right now.
Cp does matter still i kinda made a major fuck up i am low on sources for xp without running Shadow missions but the sadists at devcat decided to troll new players by putting a weekly limit on dungeons and SMs
Is that a thing? Never knew, haha. Are you not doing techs technique like in the vid???
Any advice on dealing with wights when youre built for melee?
Use a blaanid wand?? : 3 I think you just gotta use magic on them, sadly. You can also buy a celtic staff for very cheap to use whenever you need magic or a meteor dropper, haha.
@@Ballpuncher I just hate being forced to use magic when im built to melee, I suppose one enemy to use bolts on isnt too bad but this will be hell if i find a room full of wights cuz i wont have the int and mp to bother with tier 2 and tier 3 spells.
@@RaidenKaiser As a new player who has found myself in Peaca one too many times for whatever reason, alchemy seems to have worked quite well for me against wights. With beginner stats, water cannon does a considerable amount of damage compared to bolt damage
@cookieaceae0517 i slept on alchemy my last playthrough because I was trying to min max my strength before touching anything else, but this time I'm going through I kinda happy I gave it a try considering how fast stamina and mp drains later in the game sleeping on alchemy is a mistake and while I know arcana is better it's still really useful to new players.
Great video, i was curious if the game is still super pay to win with stuff like reforges, pets, and extra equipment slots.
Thank you for the compliment!
There are free reforges now in game. In fact, there are many ways to get reforges now. It's driven the price of reforged gear down significantly, too actually. I don't want to jack the game off too much, but yeah.
You get a lot of free pets now. I show you one way on how to get bone and mir dragons for free in my debuff guide. There are other ways to get more bone dragons for free, too. and the beginner quest line gives several pets for free, too.
Extra equipment slots you can buy with gold. Not sure if it was always like that. Usually between 15-20m per extra slot. You do get a slot free and equipment slot time extensions can be purchased with dungeon vouchers and you can trade vouchers to that account's alts to purchase even more. I really think they should give you at least 3 equip slots for free with no time limit. That's my biggest gripe.
Again not trying to jack the game off too much, nor am I speaking on Nexon's behalf, but they are actively improving the game and including many QoL features. I never spend money on the game. I don't even have VIP, haha; however, I think my circumstances may be different than other's. My aim with these videos, as well as the ones I'm working on, is to try to guide someone to mid/end game without spending a dime or having the temptation to even consider spending money on combat. Hope that helps.
@@Ballpuncher it helps a ton to know this. I haven't played in forever but do get the itch to try it again from time to time, it just always felt like catching up would be impossible without my wallet. So its good to know that isn't the case as much anymore.
@@Twilight5007 Let me know if you need anything. Enjoy your time in the realm, dude. Have some fun.
Play Deepwoken pls... 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Haha, why do you want me to play it so badly??
good deepwoken gameplay
Yes. best roblox game
i think nowhere to run elite is way better for beginners than telling them to do tech duinn. i just went into illusion normal and got my ass handed to me. a noob would surely do even worse
Yeah, I debated talking about nowhere to run but you need to be level 60 to enter and it can only get you to 150 without an event or captain passes. You also get a ton of gold doing those three rooms in illusion.
Sorry you got shat on in illusion. Check out my crowd control guide to see how to contain them all and my debuff guide on how to make them easier to kill. If it still is difficult, let me know.
Watched the video dont understood shit didnt started to play it
Shit. Sorry, bro. Hope you can find a game you like!
