    The fastest class to level is the class you have the most fun with.

    I suck at this game. Takes me days to get to teens on any type of char. Maybe I should stick with walking 20 miles a day and working out than attempting to do anything in this game.

    b:chuckle Aww. If you go hardcore on one character, it can take two days to get to L20. If you start in the morning and go hardcore all day and you know what to do already, it's highly likely you can reach L20 by the end of the day. I know about the two-day thing because I did it over a weekend with a friend but quit the chara afterwards 'cause I was sick of it after so much time on it.

    BM - good defense and good damage. If you aren't pumping some points into VIT you'll need to watch your HP so it doesn't get too low. You can solo most bosses, be careful on magic dealing ones (i.e. Krixxix).

    I'm a little bit curious. While it's correct that you can do regular quests fairly fast by attacking physical ones head on and shutting up mages with stun and then attack head on but...soloing bosses? I mean eventually yes, but right away as they come in? If you have pumped lot atr. points into VIT then yeah it might work but... other that wearing charm or having cleric with you (doesn't qualify as solo)...how?

    I don't know, I'm having a hard time with the level 21 enemies in the level 20 quests with my level 20 archer. The knockback arrow moves the enemies back very temporarily, and the frost arrow still doesn't buy me enough time. I'm getting chewed up pretty badly. I'm probably doing something wrong.

    Dont worry it will get much easier... my 6x archer can do all his quests with frost arrow and knockback arrow alone. I have a baby 2x archer doing all those archasaur quests as well.. maybe its because i spam skills since i dont really care about mp pots. For me i use frost arrow, normal, knockback, normals, and if he gets close do lightning or wing attack. Plume shield is free mana for chi...spam if you have extra chi lol. Good luck

    That's one thing I've been doing wrong. I need to use Plume Shield more.

    Well jasonwoo have u though of being a mage there easy 2 lv cause they kill fast and dont have 2 pay that much for armor cause my hubby EvoultionX is a mage and he own's as a wizard. I think the only thing i've seen him pay 4 is his weapon mostly.

    It really depends on the build of the BM. Krixxix tore my BM apart the first time I butted heads with him. Of course, Krixxix was a pain for my veno too. You have to keep in mind that while VIT will add to your p.def, for a BM the majority of their p.def comes from the STR attribute. Your m.def sucks because you don't dump enough into MAG, which you don't need.

    b:surrender Do not be fooled. In your nub levels a wizards sucks hard. Once you're sure of what you're doing, the best order for you skills, etc., it gets better. Wizzy is one of the harder classes as a caster because it doesn't get a cool side-kick that tanks nor do they get a good heal, so their survivability is heavily dependent upon the build, gear, and potting. If you're going to be a wizzy, I would suggest squading to get help on your quests (nub levels).

    My main concern is my archer though. I'm working on a cleric now. Now level 19. Like the archer, things are starting to bog down a bit. Unlike my other characters, I've been trying to get my cleric up to level 3 in manufacturing skills, which is a bad drain on my spirit points. (But unlike my other characters, she doesn't have a genie sucking up spirit points.)

    (So far it looks like I'm really wasting my time and spirit points on manufacturing.)
    QUOTE]

    This is where the problem is. If you want to get the manufacturing skills, do not for heaven's sake, dump spirit points into genie. Although it would slow down your lvling, dump the exp into the genie and u would gain more spirit per level since youre there for a longer period of time. Also since you spend more time at the same level, you can accumulate more materials for crafting, especially those dreaded 2* that you need for upgrading lvl3 to lvl4.

    As far as you stick to Crazy Stone (lvl30+), Bounty Hunter (lvl40+), orcales, crusader orders or normal grinding, the Exp:sp ratio is almost always 5:1. As a crafter (lvl5 Blacksmith, lvl5 Tailor, lvl4 Apothecary), I prefer normal grinding with an occasional Bounty Hunt or Crazy Stone at my lvl since normal grinding would get you the materials for crafting and extra money to spend on your class skills.

    No, my cleric (the one without the genie) is the one pursuing the manufacturing skills (which may still be a mistake, I don't know). My archer is avoiding the manufacturing. I'm not sure how I'll feed her genie later on, besides maybe going back home and making cheap items to decompose.

    Well the point was that, if you have a genie and u dump exp into it, it balances out your spirit usage and helps in gather materials and cash.

    So if any of ur chars are pursuing manufacturing skills, ensure u have a genie and keep infusing with exp every level. My archer is my main and has an equal levelled genie and lvl5 of blacksmith and tailor. Apothercary can be levelled anytime since farming herbs is not that big of a problem.

    Also I find archers to be the class best suited for crafting since they seem to have the least number of skills amongst all the classes. And even in those skills, only few are really required making an already cheap class even more cheaper (ammo, repair and potion costs are insignificant since we rarely get hit and need not spam skills to kill). Hence having the crafting on ur archer would make a lot of sense.

    @jasonwoo
    Point taken but i cant answer a question with a new thread :P.
