Tips

Beginner

- Raise your shield to gain it's effect. Shield not raised, means no shield stats.

- Try using single-handed weapons (Katanas, Staves, Spears, etc.) instead of two-handed weapons (Hammers, Bows, etc.) early on. The extra defense is bound to help, and can also be useful later on in the game.

- Stuck EXP farming? Create 2 Vile Priest class Characters and alternate using them in the EX Dungeon. When you get the "Growth" and "Secret Training" Magic Circles (Lv 15-30), you'll be using them for another 10 levels or so, an you can stop for the moment.

- Sell every sub-par weapon that doesn't have titles. You'll have little need for them yet.

- Curse Traps can be countered by Luck Traps, so if you have three Curses on you get hit by a Luck Trap. It'll reduce it so you can simply use Exorcise instead.

- Wound Heal is most efficient low-health wise, so it's best to save it for last. Find a Heal-Spike or Heal Trap instead.

- Traps also affect monsters, so be wary of the direction you're facing (unless it's a spike trap). The trap fires from in front of where you were facing when you touched it, so be careful if you decide to step on a Heal Trap and it accidentally ends up healing the monster you're fighting instead.

Mid-Game

- Struggling with the difficulty of some of the chapters? Try diving into a Ran-geon, use hell gates as much as possible while avoiding enemies and traps. While the enemy level rises, their patterns remain the same and can be avoided. Don't engage, look for treasure chests and loot some high level weapons. Even the most common gear found at level 100 enemy zones will be a leap forward from the gear found in shops early game.

- When you get the blacksmith, trade in every non-unique or above weapon with titles you have to the Blacksmith Owl. Save yourself a few of the cheaper but mid-tier weapons that your class has skills for (unless your class has no skills for it). Go through every EX Dungeon and every Ran-geon you can explore, killing every enemy. Then, upgrade everything with the "Scrub" title. Trade in all of those to the Blacksmith Owl/sell it directly. Place it on every piece of equipment that you are about to sell.

- Need a better XP farm and the EX Dungeon isn't cutting it? Try the Arena. You have an added bonus of a completely random Gate in the end of every battle as well. When the opponents' levels are 2-3 levels above yours, you should exit and reap your benefits.
