Flyff Leveling Guide for Assists

You know, sometimes leveling on Fly for Fun can be a real pain, especially if you are an assist. Once I got to level 30 I thought, “wow this is tough… I’m never going to be a Ringmaster… this is just pointless…” BUT THEN!!! I was introduced to the wonderful system of fsing (fsing means full support). You hardly have to do anything at all. It’s so awesome. All that happens is buff, heal and get levels. The most levels I’ve gotten in a day were 10. It was so crazy.

I’ll show you how it works. First, you buff them.

Then, heal them.

And they fight. It’s as simple as that. However, when you are fsing I suggest that you only fs people that are about 17-19 levels higher for the maximum amount of experience. Also I suggest that you do this at level 35-40. By then, people will be looking for people to fs them. And one last thing, BE IN A CONTRIBUTION PARTY! I don’t really know why that was in caps because it’s not extremely important, all that happens is you get some bonus experience. A few words of advice though, keep in mind sometimes you might have to spam the heal button so they don’t die… if they die, you die >_< another thing, tell them when you are going to buff them so that while you are buffing them, they don’t die. I can’t tell you how many times that happened to me. So anyways, I hope this guide was helpful and for people that are other classes, ill be making other guides soon.

Flyff Acrobat Build and Leveling Guide

So you want to be an Acrobat…

I have had a few requests to make a guide dealing specifically with the Acrobat classes.

Let me first start off by saying that in order to be a successful Acrobat you will want to know what second job change you want to become. The problem is that Acrobats have three not two job changes. The changes are:

Jester – Uses yoyo to fight monsters and players. Purely for 1vs1 not for Area of Effect. This class is pretty slow at leveling, and it never truly beats bow users until level 90 through 105. On the other hand this class hands down is the better for PvP, and because it’s not the most popular choice on most servers the armor and weapons are cheaper than for bow users.

The Jester bonus is a 4 percent critical rate for every 10 points on dexterity.

Goods:

• Good critical rate.
  
• Amazing at PvP.
  
• Affordable.
  
• Good for Giant Hunting.

Bads:

• Very slow at leveling.
  
• Don’t get good until level 90.
  
• The self buffs can only be used 1 at a time.
  
• You may need to buy highly increased (+8) or more armor to beat out bow users.

Bow Jester (BJ): Let me first start out saying that this is not a real class; it’s the Jester class with a special build. BJ’s are Jesters except that they use a bow as the name suggests. The only build for a BJ is Pure dexterity, anything you here from others is a lie and untrue (I have a BJ and I know how they are built).

BJ’s use the Jesters critical hit rate to an advantage (at level 60 you should have 135 dexterity (if I did my math right) that should amount to a 52 percent critical rate). Keep in mind that BJ’s require a Full Support (FS) assist to properly level. Also keep in mind that at level 90 BJ’s are less powerful than there Yoyo Jester counterparts, and most people have to restart to a Yoyo Jester.

Goods:

• Amazing critical rate.
  
• Pretty good at PvP.
  
• You level from 60 -70 fast.
  
• Good at giant hunting.

Bads:

• Everyone will hate you because many people think that BJ’s cheat!
  
• Expensive (Gbow, high plus on level 45 armor, good equipments, probably a pet because you don’t want to waste time picking up your drops, and a Restate if you plan on getting past level 90).
  
• You need a full support.
  
• You will die a lot.
  
• Alike Mercenary, it gets boring.

Ranger – Uses bow like they were meant to be used. The Ranger is the best Area of Effect (AoE) class that was created. Rangers get elemental based Area of Effect (Fire, Ice etc.). You also have the ability to get to 80 really fast.

Pros:

• You are most respected class because you aren’t a BJ.
  
• You get some pretty nice Area of Effects.
  
• Depending on you build (30-70 stamina) you won’t die a lot.
  
• Pretty cheap because armor isn’t that much and the only expensive thing is a Gbow.

Cons:

• You won’t be able to level past 80 as fast as you were leveling before.
  
• You are not as good as Jesters in PvP.
  
• You need a FS to level effectively.

Picking Your Build

Picking you build should be the main thing you consider when you are a new acrobat. The only stat you won’t use is Intelligence. For a Jester you will have strength stamina and dexterity (a common build for a “Cookie-Cutter”(Yoyo Build) is 30-40 stamina 63 dexterity and the rest in Strength.) For a Ranger the general build is 30-70 stamina and the rest in Dexterity.

Now that you know what you want to be, and you know how your build should be, you are now ready to become a good acrobat. This guide will tell you the most common and fastest way to level 60.

Level 1 – 15:

Searching for other articles I’ve written. for getting past your vagrant levels.

Level 15-30

Congratulations, you are now an acrobat. To level to 30 you are going to need one skill no matter which class you are going to be, and that’s a skill called Junk Arrow (which means you need to buy a bow). If you have money to buy a mental necklace then max Junk Arrow, and if not then get it to about level 10.

You will be “Spamming” (using over and over again) Junk Arrow. This will require you to buy a lot of refreshers, but the leveling will be fast. I suggest when you get to 15 to go to Saint Morning by blink-wing. Then you should head to the bangs that are located by the duel arena. But before you go fighting run into the arena on server 1 and ask someone to buff you.

Now go fight bangs until level 19, and then move to Wagsaacs, and then Mias. You should be spamming Junk Arrow like crazy, and you should be going through refreshers like crazy as well. Once you get to 23 Head over to Pumpkins, and then Mantis, And then Giggle Boxes the road to level 30 is boring but it’s worth it.

Level 30-45

You are now level 30 MAX JUNK ARROW (if you are using a bow), those that are going to use Yoyos should continue to stat themselves appropriately and Max Yoyo mastery and Crossline. Yoyos should spam Crossline from now on. Bow users should spam maxed junk arrow.

Note: Do not max Bow Mastery, it isn’t anything compared to Yoyo mastery.

You should also get basic points in slow step and fast walker and Dark Illusion for the skill Perfect Block.

To level to 45 you will need to start by killing hobos until level 34 then move to Totemias, and then move on to Cardpuppets. You should now be about 40 and therefore you should now move to Rhisis Island (outside of Saint Morning). Kill Tombstone bearers until 42 and then skip to Basques until 44 - 45.

After that go to Pranksters until level 45. Now that you are level 45 you get a pretty amazing skill Perfect Block Max It. Maxed Perfect Block gives you +20% block rate which can really help you.

Also now that you are 45 you should be able to buy full Hyper/Cruiser and a Flaming Bow (Or the level 45 yoyo). These will really help you level to 60.

Level 45 - 60

Continue to train on pranksters untill level 48+, and then move to Leyenyas in Darkon 1, and 2. You should now continue to either spam Cross-Line or Junk Arrow. Just keep moving from one monster to the next making sure that the monster you are fighting is at least 2-5 levels higher than yourself. When you get to level 55 start killing Steel Knights untill 58. Then skip volts, and move to Elder Guards. Once you get to about level 55 don‘t kill Crane Machinery they are hard and you will die a lot. Instead, go to darken 3 and kill Grrs or Dumps.

Congratulations you are now 60. Go do that job change quest and show that guardian who’s boss!

Good Luck with your acrobat!

Flyff Brief Level 1-90 Guide

A brief level 1-90 guide on how to level and job change on the game Flyff (This guide does not go over quests or builds.)

When leveling in Flyff, you need to know what to level on.

Say, you are level 11 and you cannot decide what to train on, whether you should kill Lawolfs, Grownup Lawolfs, or even PukePukes! My guide will take you through the steps, and strategies on what to kill to level up faster.

Before we get started, for the many people that have made Flyff leveling guides, MOST, if not all of them are based around having an assist, Billposter, or Ringmaster buffing and healing them. I understand that most new people do not know what buffs are.

Buffs - Fighting enhancements, help in combat by improving performance.

Buffs are very useful, once you have reached about level 20, you might want a healer and buffer, it’s hard to find people willing to buff and heal you that are higher level than you. Since you are level 20, assists your level are just now getting their buffs. Most assists don’t max the essential buffs that most people need.

Buffs you will need if you are an assist:

Haste - Increases attack speed, when maxed, attack speed is +25%

Heap Up - Increases Stamina. When maxed, STA level is +40

Cannon Ball - This buff is optional, rangers love this buff and Max Quickstep. It gives +20 DEX when maxed.

Beef Up - Increases Strength level by 20 when maxed.

Ressurection - Billposters (Fighting assist class,) Some have it, some don’t. If your partner dies, you can ressurect them from the dead and save them time from having to come back to you.

Those are the basic buffs that assists need. Some require you to be up to level 30 to use, but don’t worry. It’s not that hard to get there.

Class: Vagrant, level 1-10

On this level you are new to the game and do not know what to expect. Well I am here to tell you so that you do! At level 1-10 you kill the same level as you. Many players will try to say that you need to train on level 3-4’s but if you do, you will die almost instantly from the lack of start off food. The items that you start off with are a partial cotton set (Hat missing) of clothing, a wooden sword, 1 biscuit, 3 lollipops, and something else that I might have forgotten.

Level 1-5: You should work on easy level 1-2 Aibatts, and then work your way up to captains and then burudengs. By the time your done killing Aibatts, press I to go to your inventory, and click-and-drag your food to the F1, F2, F2, and so on buttons. Once completed, all you have to do during battle is press a key and the item activates.

Level 5-10: You should attack Demain Urchains, or pukepukes. By now you should know how to do basic functions such as heal attack, move, speak, and use new items.

Level 10-15 were the hardest levels in vagrant class for me to get through many think alike too. What you should begin leveling on is Lawolfs, Grownup Lawolfs, and Feferns. These get a little bit harder since you are higher levels and you don’t hit a lot.

Before I go ahead into the job change part of this guide, I would like to talk about jobs, money, and upgrades.

In flyff, there are 4 basic jobs. The 4 basic jobs are Acrobat, Assist, Mage, and

Mercenary.

Acrobat - Uses YoYo, and can use bow and arrows. Yoyo can knock back enemies (not very strong)(Attack fast)

Assist - Uses stick or knuckle, With stick you can heal/buff people and knuckle you attack with.

Mage - A basic magician, can cast various spells and do a lot of damage. (Weapons say slow, but that’s listed for melee attack speed.)

Mercenary - VERY BORING during the beginning and mostly relies on an assist’s buffs at low levels. At higher levels, they become strong. (attack - Fast - Very fast.)

Job change

By now you should have decided to what you want to become in Flyff. If you haven’t, look above.

Mages - The mage trainer is in Saint Morning and you need to go to the magic shop to buy a blinkwing to go to there. (Eastern town part)

Assists - The assist trainer is in Flaris and should be easy to find.

Mercenary - The Mercenary trainer is right by the Assist trainer.

Acrobat - The acrobat trainer is in Darkon right next to where you teleport to after using a blinkwing.

Level 15-20:

So, your level 15 and you want to know what to kill, rather you should kill Feferns still or go on to those weird named Sleaze cats (Nyangnangs). Well as I said in the last part, if you kill things the same level as you, you will not get good exp, infact, it will reduce by as much as 50%! The right thing to kill is a Nyangnang in that case.

If you have buffs, or a party, then you can go kill bangs, boss bangs, or mutant monsters. A lot of times you don’t know a lot of assists that can stay with you and that keep buffing you. But if you do, then you’re good to go.

So continue to kill level 17-25’s and reach level 20. Once level 20 you will have to be proud of yourself because now you can fly!!!

Fly away little birdie, if you would like, you could increase your flying level, or just continue to train.

Flying Level: Flying level is increased by killing monsters in the sky, not by how much you fly. Different boards are available to buy. For starters, just buy the beginner board.

Easy way to increase flying level

An easy way to increase your flying level is to look at the monster in the air, press TAB. Once done, your monster will be targeted. (For a mage at this point just put on a wand and keep clicking.) For other classes you can then press Z key. You will now be following the monsters. Just put on your weapon and start attacking! (Note: You may have to keep clicking.)

Level 20-30

At this level, you should be able to do a lot of things, such as emotes, know what and Adv party is, and much more. Since you know all of this, you can kill high levels. At level 20 I would recommend killing in Mars mine, or just go to Saint Morning, and kill Wagsaacs, Mias, or flybatts. DO NOT KILL THE GIANTS, THEY WILL KILL YOU FAST!!! THEY HAVE MORE HP THAN YOU. EVEN IF YOU ARE 1-5 LEVELS HIGHER THAN IT, YOU’LL STILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE AT DYING. Save the Giant Hunting for your higher levels.

If you are a mage, then you kill things a lot quicker and you attack stronger. So if you are a mage you can attack higher levels than others. If you are not a mage, then you have to kill at least 3 levels higher than yourself. (Note: if you are a mage, and then make sure you have a lot of food with you. And not the weak food that’s like dropped by monsters. DON’T BE CHEAP WITH IT!!! It’s worth it.)

Important notes - Hot keys

In flyff, you might have noticed that there are a lot of hot keys - Here is the list of all of them:

I - Inventory

Q-Quests

E- Messenger

T-Stats

O-Emotes

P-Party control

G-Guild

H-Character

J-Premium Status

K-Skills

X-Walk/Run

C-Skill use (Action Slot)

L-Lord Menu (This is useless for low levels)

N-Navigator

M-map

These are VERY important!

Level 30-40

Ok, so know you should know all of the hot keys so we don’t need

to talk about that any more!

At level 30, you should start training on Hobo’s, Rock muscles, Burcows, and dumbulls. If you can, find a good level party to train with and level up high. Once you hit level 34, you don’t want to train on these weak things (well at lease I didn’t) so I killed totemia’s and maid card puppets until I leveled to 40.

Level 40-50

At level 40-50 You should go to Rhisis Garden. (it has a lot of names)

Here you should train on Tombstone Bearers. These are level 43. After you are done killing them, move on to the different types of Basques. After you are done, DO NOT GO TO WHEELEMS, THEY ATTACK 2 TIMES IN A ROW AND KILL YOU FAST!!! JUST STAY AWAY.

Now, go to pranksters. After you are done with pranksters, you should be level 45 or so.

Congratulations! You can now move on to Darkon!!! At these levels, you almost NEED to complete the Office Quests. It’s 17% that you don’t need to train to get.

Level 50-60At level 50-60, you are very excited to be a high level, you start asking around for good builds, info, and so on. The thing that I found useful is this: DON’T!!

Focus on leveling one level at a time, or else you will get super bored and disappointed.

At level 50, you should kill leyenyas, once level 51 just move on to steam walkers.

If you would like more of a challenge, move to Steel Knights, and once your level 54, Kill Nutty Wheels. Many dissagree with me, but I say, kill captain drillers, or volts.

Once done you should be about level 57 or so, continue to train on Elderguards. Some think that you should train on cranes when your level 59, I didn’t, Actually I flew to Darkon 3 and killed Dumps, and Grrs. You die too much at level 59 killing cranes also Dumps and Grrs are lower level, this means when you reach their level, your going to be happy you killed them. Less farming or buying your quest items.

So there you go, get to level 60, and have fun! You get a new job, skills, skill points, perception of gameplay, and entered in the dog-eat-dog world called Flyff. It’s a beast out there, good thing you have guides.

It’s finally here, level 60-90. First off, I’d like to thank ALL the people that helped me write this guide, providing me with small corrections, suggestions, and comments. While most of them are positive, I’ve had spam and negative comments. But I understand there are different leveling methods and I respect that. I’ve only deleted 2 posts of very negative content. One of which was a flamer and another was just some random person. Spam was deleted also. Here we go.

Version 11-12: In version 11 and 12, most know about the Cash Shop. Many people buy things from there providing Gala-Net with money to keep the GMs and the game updated on a weekly basis. These ingame items can help you or just make you look better. Yes, I have bought alot of these things. No comments of the “You spend money on a video game?!?” Please keep all those negative comments to yourself.

Azria: Azria is a new Winter-themed place for high levels. The minimum monster there is level 73, which is a Yeti. Alot of people like Azria due to it’s massive amount of monster spawns. I level there, I am an AoE BP. At level 75 I could round up 80 Mutant Yeti. While this wasn’t a smart way to gain exp, it leveled the party to level 10 when I had a leech with me in one AoE.

If you hadn’t known this already, being in a full, Advanced party gives more exp for both you and a leech. If you do not have a leech with you, you won’t get as much exp.

This also levels the party. Leveling a party help you get party points, you can use party skills with these points. Using party skills can help your drop rate for special, or rare items. They can also increase your damage rate.

At level 60 you should be fighting either Grrs, Scylias, Cranes, or Dumps. Doing this will allow you to get exp, and drops at the same time. Quest items are needed at this level, whether it’s to farm them and sell for money, or to complete your quest and get your experience.

You should move on to Mongs once you are level 65, after a few levels there, if you can, kill CarrierBombs, Nautrephys, Boos, or Hoppres. These get difficult for people that are impatient to get quest items from. I know, I’m very impatient, so I just bought mine.

After these monsters are done, you should be about level 68-70. This is just an estimate. You can get powerleveled, sure, but that takes all the things you play for away. Being a tough, grinding, focused player. Yeah, you could guess it, I got power leveled too. Most of the population has gotten power leveled at this time, they get so bored that they just want to level up and use more equipment. So that makes you feel that your not alone.

From level 70, you get the hang of what you have to do instead of get power leveled all the time. That’s right, GRIND. Don’t pickup your drops anymore, don’t be a noob, just kill, one after another, nonstop. This is what your going to be facing for the rest of your Flyff life. Now, you should STILL be training on these monsters, just not the Nautrephys and Boos. Carriers and Hoppres are what I trained on. I stayed at Hoppres for… About 5 levels.

Until now I was 1v1 BP. Now I restated and reskilled to an AoE build. Very happy I did, too. AoE builds level you up SO much faster than a 1v1. You just need to know your limits, and exceed them, be prepaired.

You should be able to take on Mushpoies, I know, they’re alot high level than you, your only maybe 75, but I was able to take them on at 70. You should be able to, too!

Continue to train on these, Irens, and if you’d like to really go for it, Wantangkas.

I realize, v12 has released a Tower that has high level monsters in it. I will NOT be reporting on this, I lagg too much to even DARE to go inside. Also, horrible exp gain rate in there.

After Wantangkas, you should go to The trees, Antiquery. If you find these are too easy for you, try Luias. Since I am not 1v1, this guide might be a little innaccurate. Please tell me if I’m wrong. I’ve researched this, and guides say to stay on Luias and Kerns until level 90.

Thanks to everyone that has read this, I hope this will help you with all your leveling needs. Tips are welcome, and helping other players that comment when I cannot is greatly appreciated. I will never post without my Gameslosophy Credits, so you will be able to find out if it’s me responding, or someone copying my name. Once again, thanks. Happy Gaming!

A great time to play, you can use your new attacks, skills, weapons, and you can buy stuff & upgrade too!

Flyff Guide to Fastest Leveling

Flyff is a game based around parties for fast leveling. Unlike many other games solo play is not advisable. To solo in flyff would be rather easy. However without buffs your killing speed would be slowed down dramatically and more importantly without the advanced party bonus you are looking at least 50% exp loss per mob.

Level 1-15

Your vagrant levels the most boring. Unlike job change leveling as a vagrant does not give increased exp bonus with an advanced party. In fact the best way to level as a vagrant is with a ringmaster, commonly referred to as a rm. buffing you (haste, beef, heap up,) being the most important for a vagrant, will increase your kill speed dramatically. When being buffed to 15 I advise to put all points into strength to increase damage, the haste buff will give you the speed and accuracy you need for the low level mobs. Kill high level mobs at lvl 1 killing 1 puke puke will give you level 3 straight of the bat. Continue with the 7-8 levels above own level pattern until lvl 12.

At level 12 enter the Mas Dungeon. In here you can kill the mutant feferns for slightly double the exp of bangs, whose levels closely represent.

Without buffs

If leveling without buffs stick to mobs you are able to kill fast. Such as 3 levels above your level. NEVER kill mobs the same level as you, or under this is a waste of time as it cuts exp % on top of the fact that it’s a low level mob which already gives less exp.

Put all strength points until level 10. Once you start fighting lawolf you will finally get your first “miss” hit as lower level mobs you can’t miss on. Choose to continue adding strength or if you want to move onto feferns faster add dex until level 15.

Level 15-60

After doing job change quest you are able to reset your distributed points for free as well as your skills, which there was no real point in leveling anyway.

From now on you will ALLWAYS want to level inside of an advanced party. An advanced party is a party that has reached level 10. Once a party reaches level 10 and has been changed to advanced, it then gives party members more exp. To maximize exp the best way is to join a party that has 8 people (a full party.) In this party you will invite 1 friend who will level in the same area as you. Doing this you will both get bonus exp from being in the party? Make sure the other 6 party members are not in the same area as you. Or they will affect your exp.

Once you reach around level 30 buffs reliant classes will notice the dependant on buffs. While you have been leveling you should have been taking note of any full support assists you have seen through your travels. It is important as you progress through the game to add these people to your friends even if you have not spoken to them before. Of course explain why you are adding them, just tell them that if they ever need a partner you will be there for them. This means next time you log onto the game and need to level you can go through your list and find a partner rather than waiting in town or shouting for a partner which may even take hours…

It is important not to deny your often partners as they may not want to level with you and you may lose your friendship. You might suffer some exp gain by leveling with a regular client or friend, however it will be worth it in the long run as the other partners may not play as often or be not as skilled.

GOOD BUFFS?

Once you have found your partner and are aware that they will be leveling with you for some time. I highly suggest going to server 4 arena and flying above on your board or outside the arena. Ask here for some buffs as politely as you can. Why here? Often high levels will be hanging out in the arena on server 4, therefore you will receive the best buffs quite possibly all maxed out buffs. Quickly return to your partner and tell them to make sure the buffs do not run out. If they keep rebuffing over the good buffs you will be leveling with maxed out level 20 buffs for possibly hours provided you don’t die.

With this method you will actually level faster than being plvled…

Mages are less reliant on buffs an assist should be able to buff themselves. Assists (future bp’s) in this case. Should do the method mentioned in the above paragraph and rebuff themselves. For mages and future bp’s you should level with another partner that is also fighting. This means you will get the advanced party bonus from each of your kills and you will also receive a portion of their kill.

Players should be fighting 6-8 levels above themselves. If a mage is with an assist, up to 10 levels is generally faster provided you stay alive. Why? Because the damage reeducation due to spells is a lot less than that off other classes when fighting higher-level mobs don’t ask why.

Level 60-120

You have the basics down by now and are well on your way to becoming max level. A few other things that will get you their faster:

• Elementing weapons. By adding an element to a weapon you will hit much higher.
  
  
• Dekane mines. Get in their as early as you can. As they give double exp to trees and watagnka’s given your level. (Similar to Mas dungeon vs. Bangs exp.) Fight in the pinkies room. Level 78 is the perfect level to go here. At around level 80-82 once you are able to kill them faster you will actually be leveling even faster.
  
  
• Worry about leveling over getting money. Believe me the cash will come to you once you’re higher so don’t worry too much now. As your leveling greens will drop which you can sell to players for a fortune. Its best to wait for the weapon your wishing you can buy then waste time killing giants aimlessly slowly increasing your income. Get on with it and level one green drop could be worth 50 times that of a white drop.
  
  

Clockworks

Don’t bother until you can solo it with a rm. Once you can do this make guild with only you and a rm friend. Kill it sell its loot unless it benefits you disband your guild and fight it in 3 days time.

Extra fast leveling class specific tips

At level 60 if you can afford restart to full stamina build.

Buy the cheap lvl 59-62 set from NPC. Put water element on the lvl 56 suit while you’re at lvl 60. Go to kerns. Put on crucio then run in circles and have your rm heal you. Stay here until 65 (4 hours or so.)

Level 62 put a fire element on your level 62 suit, fly to glaphans with your rm.

Fight the small glaphans in the area with non-red mobs (aggro’d mobs.)

Level 68 or so go to captain glaphans. When fighting avoid killing the aggro’s. Because they may spawn on top of you or your rm, thus killing you both.

If the red mob is in the center of the mobs then kill it until it is in the corner but level with precaution if you have killed it. Stay at glaphans until 78 and then move to mines. Make sure to gpro you suit for defense as at level 78 AOE’ing will be hard. If you have the money spro your suit up. No point doing this before you are high enough for mines as leveling is to fast to bother.

I first played aibatt server. Being fresh to the game xLadyVietx taught me the crucio method back before people knew about it. Which got em up to around 4th rank on the server.

When mushpoie server came out using these tips which I have explained above I was able to reach rank 1 on the server at around level 90.

Teaching these methods to a friend her and I like rm and psy were able to once again top a server on MIA server this time. Until we gave away the rm and psy account at lvl 93 to 2 other guildies due to the hacking wave that made us want to quit. When this cleared up I made a bow jester on aibatt server again. With the above method I was able to get to lvl 81 in 10 days playing time. Which could have been faster without having real life commitments over these 10 days.

With this said the above method of leveling really is the fastest. If you would like more class specific tips of builds or just any other information ask me about them as I am very happy to help.

How to deal damage with melee

I have seen 90% of time people in FlyFF just adding stats because they are told how it would be best for them, without them even realizing what they are doing.. Or even why is Dexterity (DEX) important for damage, ‘liek omg, why do we need dex when we can put all to Strenght (STR)’ - Unless you can afford +8 gear or higher, you can’t be more wrong than that. Higher Dex can have lot higher effect on total damage you deal than not having it at all.

This guide is mainly meant for: Yoyo Jesters, Blades, 1vs1 Knights, Billposters and Ringsmasters.

But I do hope others get something out of it too. (This guide in a way explains why Bow Jesters usually are seen as ’super’ fast levelers for first.. High Crit and high Hit ratio can do miracles.)

NOTICE: Having atleast decent hit ratio is MOST important thing on dealing damage, since it effects your total damage most. Miss = 0 damage and it is always 0 damage, no matter how godly Str you have. And it always slows your killing speed if you miss lot.. In most cases your total damage dealed can be even cutted to half.

So here I start the main part of guide, the attribute on dealing damage with melee. In order of importance:

1. Hit Ratio

Remember - Hit ratio effects most out of all attributes on your AVERAGE damage.

Hit ratio is placed first in here, because it effects your average damage most in long run. And that’s why it effects everything below it.

Maximum hit ratio you can have in FlyFF is 96%

(There’s is always 4% chance to miss, no matter how high Dex or +hit% gear you get.)

1% Hit ratio = about 1% More damage you deal per average hit.

(Why? Since everytime you miss, it’s 0 damage - means you lose one damaging hit)

Assist skill Accuracy increases LOT more your total damage than Beef Up or Cannon Ball. At extremely high levels Cannon Ball might have slightly more effect due it’s crit bonus and aspd (Attack Speed) bonus but not at lower levels. So for god sake, low level assists: Start taking Accuracy buff already at lower levels - It helps your partners lot more then than Beef Up or Cannon Ball even if your partners don’t realize it.

Upgrading gear with Sunstones gives Hit Ratio:

+3 = 5% Hit

+5 = 10% Hit

+7 = 20% Hit

+8 = 30% Hit

+10 = 45% Hit

But even +10 gear alone isn’t enought to get maxed hit ratio.

(Upgrading gear after +3, can break (disappear) if it fails, so it requires Spros to avoid this)

And most important of all, here’s online calculator for your Hit Ratio.. There isn’t any number to see your Hit Ratio inside game (you only see it as misses), so this helps alot:

http://vptr.hp.infoseek.co.jp/HitFlee.html

Lv = Your character level (This effects hit ratio too)

Dex = Your dex, you can try unbuffed and with maxed cannon (+20)

AdjHit = Hit ratio bonuses, like from weapons, sets etc (Accuracy is +20)

eLv = Enemy level you are fighting max is about 7-10 level higher

eHit = Hit ratio based on monster

eFlee = Evasion on monster to make you miss, based on monster

(eHit and eFlee can be found in online databases like: http://vptr.hp.infoseek.co.jp/)

Hit Rate = Your counted hit rate, between 20% - 96%

Flee Rate = Your counted block rate (increased by dex), between 4% - 80%

(Just like the calculator says, minimum Hit Ratio is 20% - you can’t go below it)

Higher level increases your base Hit Ratio.

(Dexterity scales by level, just like Stamina)

2. Attack Speed

Remember - Attack Speed effects most out of all attributes on your TOTAL damage

Every 1% you hit faster, means you deal 1% more total damage. What do I mean? Let me explain..

Basic idea of attack speed in FlyFF:

Your attack speed is something between 0% and 100%. Which means there isn’t really a own speed factor for different weapons, so it means every profession based weapon have their own base speed (fast, very fast, slow etc..) which can be ‘normalized’ at 100%. That’s how it works, hope that explains why getting maxed aspd is important.

For Assists: Haste is extremely good skill to max, since it effects your own and your partners total damage more than any other buff, Accuracy comes second.

Attack speed is affected most by ’speed breaks’ that are certain numbers of Dex so when you pass those your aspd leaks more than from just adding 1 dex. I’ll find links for these later, they have all written on the forums anyways - check your own class forums for those.

However, aspd is very easy to get maxed at higher levels.. And in many cases goes even over 100% (which is max). Mainly thanks to Assist/Ringmaster skills GT (Geburah Tiphreth) and haste.. They both increase your aspd with 25% so total 50% more. It’s possible for even vagrant to max aspd with full RM buffs and by adding bit over 18 dex (level 10). But before level 90, it’s very unlikely you will get permanently RM to buff you with GT. So getting higher base Attack Speed might be a good idea ^^

Anyways, not much more to tell about attack speed but..

Here’s a calculator to check aspd:

http://vptr.hp.infoseek.co.jp/Aspd.html

It will give you a number between 0 and 2. You will get your attack speed by divining it by 2. This aspd is based on your dex, so if you have set bonuses, or item bonuses to increase aspd, you add them to the speed you get here. Basically in FlyFF there isn’t percent calculating 70% + 20% = 90% xD

Higher level doesn’t effect your Attack Speed.

3. Attack Damage / Crit Ratio

Remember - Attack Damage/Crit effects most out of all attributes on your MAX damage

These 2 go in same ‘category’ since they both increase each others. But basically if you don’t hit high enought, the Crit won’t help anymore.. So it’s good to have balance in everything. Only class that can max Crit easily in FlyFF is Jesters, since they get 4x more crit per every 10 dex than others.

Crit breaks on Jesters: 4% crit per every 10 dex

Crit breaks on everyone else: 1% per every 10 dex

(simple, huh?)

Anyways, once you have optimalized good Hit Ratio, and attack speed.. That’s when Attack Damage comes in, since now your attacks won’t have the penalty of ‘miss’ which is always 0 damage, no matter how much you have str. But when you don’t miss, you can just upgrade your damage. Since now it effects more on your total damage that you deal.

Not much to tell about Attack damage / Crit,

but here’s a Calculator for it too :

http://vptr.hp.infoseek.co.jp/Atk.html

Lv = Your level

Str = Your Str,

Vit = Your Sta

Dex = Your Dex

Int = Your Int

Weapon = Well duh xP

Min = The smaller number of your ‘clear’ weapon on [ XX ~ xx ]

Max= The bigger number of you ‘clear’ weapon on [ xx ~ XX ]

Refine = How much ‘+’ your weapon has

AdjAtk = Attack modifiers

This calculator is good when you try to compare between 2 weapons and want to see the difference between them. (It counts for example difference between Swords and Axes compared to Str)

Higher level increases your attack power, but doesn’t effect Crit Ratio.

_________________________________________________

Reason for this order is simple:

1. Hit Ratio - It effects on everything below it. (Miss = 0 damage)

2. Attack Speed - Increases your total damage most.

3. Attack Power/Crit - Increases damage you deal per one hit.

_________________________________________________

Most of the sets and weapons also increase your attributes:

Sets to increase your Attributes

Unique weapons to increase your Attributes

Rare weapons to increase your Attributes

(less base damage than Uniques)

That’s all folks, hope you enjoyed!

How to Level up a Vagrant Faster

Fly For Fun is a free MMORPG where characters can fight monsters around their level, do quests, make friends, duel each other, and fly. Fly For Fun is very much like MapleStory, but FlyFF is 3D which makes it more unique. FlyFF’s highest level is 121, while MapleStory is 200.

1. Make a character, name it, and choose what you want it to look like.
   
2. Then, click on your new character, and press ‘Accept’.
   
3. Welcome to Flarine! Move your character to the North, and kill Aibatts, which are in level 1. Kill about 8, and you’ll level up.
   
4. At level 2, kill Captain Aibatts, or Small Mushpangs (level 3)
   
5. At level 3, kill Mushpangs, or with some buffs, Burudengs.
   
6. At level 4, kill Burudengs, or with good Assist buffs, Puke Puke.
   
7. At level 5, kill Burudengs, and/or PukePukes.
   
8. At level 6, kill PukePukes, or with good buffs, go to Plain of Bubble and kill PeakyTurtles.
   
9. At level 7, kill PukePukes, Peakyturtles, and with good Ringmaster buffs, Lawolf.
   
10. At level 8, kill PeakyTurtles, or Doridoma. With good buffs kill Lawolf.
    
11. At level 9, kill Demians, Doridoma and with Ringmaster buffs kill Lawolf.
    
12. At level 10, kill Doridoma, Mad Demians and with Ringmaster buffs kill Lawolf, and with maxed buffs, try Feferns.
    
13. At level 11, kill Doridoma, or Lawolfs. With buffs try Fefern.
    
14. At level 12, kill Lawolfs, and try NyangNyang.
    
15. At level 13, kill Lawolfs, and try NyangNyang with maxed Ringmaster Buffs.
    
16. At level 14 to level 15, kill nyangnyangs and bangs with very good Ringmaster buffs.
    
17. Once you have leveled up to level 15, congratulations, you can choose a job!
    

    It will take you about 2 days to be able to choose a job, but if it takes you longer, be patient.
    
    Remember, to level up faster, kill monsters that are about 3 more levels than you.
    
    Killing near the NyangNyangs and Bangs is good, because you can find a few Ringmasters or Assists waiting for someone ask for buffs.
