-------[ III.CONTACT POLICY ]------------------------------------------
_______________________________________________________________________
I Accept emails especially if you want to contribute to this guide.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
* E-Mail/Contacts Policy -
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Why'd I suddenly summon a E-Mail/Contacts Policy section? Simply to
categorize every mail that I've been receiving from those that are possibly
either a Virus or something bad. I would suggest you follow the following
things below so as to quickly get a reply off the day or two after you
mailed me. Yes! I'm that quick on replying mails as I don't want my Inbox
to be so filled and to make my browser go faster when checking things out.
Anyway here are the list of Do's and Don'ts doing something that is on
either the Do's/Don'ts list will seriously affect the odds of you getting
a reply so I suggest you follow them as simple rules are applied.
*- E-Mails -*
Do’s and Don’ts
---------------
1. Only send me questions that can't be found on my guide. I will be more
happy to help you in this case.
2. Try to be specific in defining something or when stating what had
happened.
So I won't be e-mailing you back for some questions that'll simply consume
our precious time.
3. I won't be accepting or be opening any mails that has attachments.
4. Check the latest version of the guide before sending in any questions,
chances are that your question might be answered in the newest version of
the guide.
5. If I happen to not reply after three or so days than e-mail me again
nicely and I'll reply ASAP.
6. You must label your mail with the game title whether a submission or a
question (E.I. pRO melee <insert any topic for your contribution> or just pRO
for questions or inquiries).
7. Don't be persistent, don't e-mail me the very same question that I've
already answered.
8. Don't send me nonsense e-mails like "How much is..." "Can you buy me
this?"
9. Be nice! Don't use bad words in your mail.
10. No Chain Mails!
Doing anything that isn't allowed will automatically make your address be
blocked from any future mail you might possibly send.

4.1/\[Introduction to the stats system]/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
[Stat Information]======================================================
You can view your stat window my clicking on the button, or pressing ALT+A.
The number next to the stat is your current amount,
and the number to the right of the arrow is how many status points
needed to raise it by 1.
The stats are the following...
STR (Strength)
This stat determines how hard you hit.
Each point will give you 1 extra ATK.
The bonuses are as follows:
STR Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
10 +1
20 +4
30 +5
40 +8
50 +10
60 +12
70 +13
80 +15
90 +17
100 +19
AGI (Agility)
This stat increases how often you will dodge an enemy attack, by increasing
Flee by 1. It will also increase your attack speed.
There are no bonuses for this stat.
VIT (Vitality)
Each point in this stat increases your Defense by 1, which means you take 1
point less damage from every attack (RDM-Reduce Damage).
It will also increase your maximum HP,and your HP recovery speed.
There are no bonuses for this stat.
INT (Intelligence) (From PSO Raven's Guide)
This is the most important stat for any mage, as it detemines how much damage
your spells will do, and as your spells are your main form of attack, this is
very important.
Int effects the stat Matk, which is a measure of how much damage your spells
do, below is a table compairing Int to Matk. You will notice that Matk has 2
values, a minimum, and a maximum, your spell damage will always fall between
these two numbers (that is before it is modified by the monster's resistance or
weakness to the particular spell).

DEX (Dexterity)
Each point in this stat will increase your hit by 1, which is how often you
do not miss an enemy. For Archers, this stat determines their damage, like STR
for a melee fighter. For Mages, it determines your casting rate. It will also
increase minimum damage. The bonuses are as follows:
DEX Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
20 +3
30 +4
40 +5
50 +6
60 +8
70 +10
80 +12
90 +13
100 +14
a
The following table shows
how Dex changes your cast time.
(From PSO Raven's Guide)
DEX Cast time
0 1.0
20 0.87
40 0.73
60 0.6
75 0.5
80 0.47
100 0.33
120 0.2
LUK (Luck)
LUK has become a bit more useful now. In Beta 1, 100 LUK would give you a 10%
chance to critical, however, now you get 3 criticals per 10 LUK - hence, a 30%
chance to critical. It's really only good for an Assassin or somebody with a
lot of Soldier Skeleton/Caramel Cards to really get high percentages.
All the following stats are those you cannot increase directly.
ATK (Attack)
This is your physical attack with a weapon. The first number is the attack of
your weapon, plus your STR. The second number is how much ATK your upgraded
weapon adds, which ignores DEF.
MATK (Magic Attack)
This is the attack of your magic. This will only be useful to Acolytes and
Mages. The 2 numbers are the range of your Magic Damage. This is effected
by INT and Wands, as they increase the attack by 15%. This stat is
counteracted by MDEF.
Hit
This number is a representation of how often you hit an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in DEX increases it by 1 point as well. This
is counteracted by Flee.
Critical
This number increases by 1 for every 3 LUK you have. Think of this number
as the percentage of a chance of a critical hit or Lucky dodge.
DEF (Defense)
This is your physical defense against enemies. The damage you take is the
enemies ATK minus your total defense. There are a few things to consider
though - armor works on percentages, so 10 armor will reduce all attacks in the
game by 10%. VIT works on points, so 10 VIT will reduce all damage done to you
by 10. Confused? Well, it doesn't matter, DEF is a good thing to have.
MDEF (Magic Defense)
This is your defense against magical attacks.
magical defense of all your armor, while the second is your INT.
Flee
This number is a representation of how often you dodge an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in AGI increases it by 1 point as well. Your
flee drops greatly between enemies as they attack you, as it is split amongst
them. This is counteracted by Hit.
ASPD (Attack Speed)
This is your attack speed, which has finally been enabled. 200 is the fastest
attack speed, 100 the slowest.
4.2/\[MAGE]/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Introduction:
Mage is the most flexible character in the game, due to their vast
skill types. Their skill is also elemental, this makes them more powerful
to some types or certain types of monsters or element types. The Mage job
has the most widest variety of skill builds. If you want more detailed
mage guide you better check no.. I RECOMMEND that you take a look
at or much better if you download PSO Raven's Mage-Wizard guide.
He's got all the answer for your Mage questions.
He's guide also have the most reliable skill builds for mages.
4.2.1=-[STATS & SKILL BUILD UP]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I DO NOT REQUIRE/RECOMMEND YOU TO FOLLOW THE STATS DISTRIBUTION.
EVEN FOR ME, I FIND FOLLOWING THOSE STATS DISTRIBUTION VERY HARD
DUE TO THE DIFFRENT FIGHTING STYLES OF EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL.
I HAVE PROVIDED THIS PART AS AN OPTION. YOU CAN DISTRIBUTE THE STATS
IN ANY WAY YOU LIKE JUST TO REACH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE STATS BUILD YOU REALLY WANTED.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the recommended starting stats for a Mage.
STR 1
AGI 9
VIT 1
INT 9
DEX 9
Luck 1
(Exception for Vitality Build)
[PSO Raven's Build]-------------------------------------------------------
All you want to increase is INT, increase INT all the time until you get it to
around 80. After this you want to raise AGI and DEX until you have about 30 agi
and 40 dex, after this raise INT to 99, and finally finish off by getting AGI
to 61 and DEX to 69.
[Final Stats]
(No Pluses or bonuses from job/equips)
Str 1
Agi 61
Vit 1
Int 99
Dex 69
Luk 1
This is also the most widely used build of all. Most wizards I see uses
this kind of build.
[Vitality Mage Build]------------------------------------------------------
This one's kinda unusual for a Mage-Sage/Wizard, but I don't know
If there someone out there that follow this kind of Stats Build.
It's kind of crazy...
Starting Stats:
STR 1
AGI 9
VIT 9
INT 9
DEX 1
LUK 1
Distribution:
Same as PSO Raven's, start pumping your INT until it reaches about 80.
And then start pumping your VIT and DEx until you have about 30 VIT and
40 DEX and then max your INT to 99. And finish off with a 70 DEX and
75 VIT.
[Final Stats]
(No Pluses or bonuses from job/equips)
STR 1
AGI 1
VIT 60
INT 99
DEX 70
LUK 1
[Skill Build]=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There are two choices here for you to choose.
A) Counter Force Elem Weakness
B) Your Own Way
Pro's and Con's
A) Pro's
This Build allows you counter act the Sage's greatest weakness
and that is Fire type elemental. Why? because Sage's
Primary magic element is Earth (Earth Spike and Heaven's Drive)
this build recommends you to follow a fire type element Mage
or a ice/wind type Mage.
Con's
Stick to fire type spells. (Soul Strike included as always)
B) Pro's
You can whatever build you want to follow.
I recommend that you choose a build that has Frost Driver.
Con's
You may not be able to neutralize the Earth element's
greatest weakness.
The choice is up to you. It's all about how you use your powers man...
have some confidence in your character!
I'll only put some build here because of PSO Raven's guide
has all the great mage skill build of all time! You better check his guide out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE YOUR PATH I RECOMMEND THAT SEE THE SAGE PART FIRST FOR
YOU TO KNOW WHAT BUILD SUITS YOUR TASTE OR NEEDS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[The Common Build]---------------------------------------------------------
Thunderstorm/Soulstrike/Frostdriver
Lightning Bolt Lv.4
Napalm Lv.4
Soul Strike Lv.10
Sp Regen Lv.10
Thunderstorm Lv.5
Cold Bolt Lv.5
Frost Diver Lv.10
Comment:
This Is the most common build due to its balanced ands useful skills.
This build also contains the 2nd most important offensive skill of a mage and that
is Frost Driver.(It also serve as a defensive skill, it freezes your opponent)
[The Fire Build]-----------------------------------------------------------
Soul Strike/Fire Bolt/Fire Wall
Fire Bolt Lv.4
Napalm Lv.4
Sp Regen Lv.10
Fire Ball Lv.5
Soul Strike Lv.10
Fire Wall Lv.10
*MAx you Fire Bolt if you want.
Comment:
This build is the one that I use myself. Quite effective because of the
aid of Fire Wall to stop agressive opponents and Soul Strike like a mad
Mage possessed or just rain them with your 10-Hit Firebolt.

4.2.2=-[Sage Introduction]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Do you notice something? That all the 2-2 Jobs are almost the exact
opposite of that character's fighting style? (Fighting - Support).
Example:
Wizard is a full offense type of character and it's alternative job is
a Sage which is a somewhat a support type.
If you'll observe Sage's skill you can see that its kida too much
supportive. (Enchanting and etc..) Some people just want to be a Sage because of
their ability "Free Cast" which allows you to cast magic while walking.
But the only offensive skill of Sage is the Earth types of the Wizard's.
You'll depend much on your Mage skills. So be sure to choose wisely.
Since the Sage's skills only need Lv1 Cold, Lightning, Fire Bolt and Stone curse
to start each Elem's skill tree.
[HOW TO BE A SAGE]-----------------------------------------------------------
You can change to Sage in Juno. To access Juno, you need to go North, North, and West.
At the far left of this map, there are 3 warps you can take. Take either the left or
right one to arrive to the map right before Juno. Go north from this map to reach Juno...
If you're curious where center warp leads you to, it leads you to Nog Road dungeon entrance,
where very powerful monsters live... so do not go there alone if you value your EXP.
When you're in Juno, go to a northwest buliding, and talk to the Academy Administrator
(or something similar to that) to sign up and to take test to become a Sage.
Sadly, I cannot tell you answers to the test questions they will give,
because most likely, iRO will have different questions from that of kRO.
If iRO has same questions as kRO, I will post up answers here.
If you are successful in answering the questions, you become a Sage.

4.3/\[Archer]/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Archers are known for their full offense skills and so the Hunter is also.
Archers depends on their long range attacks (Bow & Arrow). Some people say
that Archers are the most easiest character to build because the basic build
of an archer is usually Dex & Luk/Agi. But since the Bard & Dancer doesn't
have any Skills that depends on Luk like the Hunter's Auto-Blitz, therefore
Their build will be Dex & Agi.(w/ a little INT)
For now let's focus on the bard part. There are some restrictions for
the archer skills when you change into a bard. These are:
Again Thanks to Ragnafilia for these Information. You guys ROCKS!!!
[Equipment]----------------------------------------------------------------
* The Bard's attack power is based upon DEX, just like Archers and Hunters.
* You can still use Double Strafing with your Whip/Musical Instrument,
but there is a penalty to the range.
* You cannot use Arrow Shower unless you equip a Bow.
[Single Skill]-------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 types of skills ~ Musical Skills (Bards) or Dancing Skills (Dancers).
* Skills of same type (Musical, or Dancing skill) cannot be used in
conjunction of each other. This means, if a Bard is playing something
and another Bard comes up and does his own thing nearby,
then in those areas where skills of the two are combined will do same effect
as Dissonance (Ugly Dance for the Dancers).
However, you can have a Musical and a Dancing skill near each other without any penalty.
* During the period where you are using a skill, you cannot use any other skills
except skills such as Adaptation and Musical Strike.
* While using a skill alone, you can move at a 1/4th of speed you normally move at.
* 5 seconds right after skill's start and right before skill's end,
you can't stop it via Adaptation.
* Even if you take damage while using a skill, the skill will not cancel out.
But, if you receive a single blow that's greater than 1/4 of your MaxHP,
then the skill will stop.
* You can only use skills while equipping a Musical Instrument/Whips,
and cannot equip any other weapons while using a skill.
* If you get status ailment (such as Frozen, Stoned, Stunned)
while using a skill, the skill will cancel.
Now we know how their skill will work.

sAME AS OTHER ARCHERS. SEE GIGA BAHAMUT'S GUIDE FOR MORE INFO.
4.3.2=-[Bard Introduction]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When the Bard Job is released maybe the Priest demand will be affected greatly.
Because there is now a more Support type of character And that is Bard and Dancer.
Enough talk let's proceed to the most difficult part of the guide and that
is formulating the right skill build.
[HOW TO BE A BARD]----------------------------------------------------------
First, you need to talk to 'Wandering Bard' in Comodo to apply for Bard test.
This guy stands a little to the right of Comodo Kafra (which we all find really hot)
You will need to collect a flower-type item (no normal flowers such as Hinalle or Aloe),
Chinese Ink, and Sticky Mucus. You can also collect 60 Trunks and receive a
complimentary weapon when you become a Bard, but Trunks are not necessary to change first.
Now, go to 'Snownow' in Lutie (it's that talking snowman). T
alk to him, then go to Christmas Girl (in a building one o'clock),
then talk to Poze (Christmas Guy?... he's located around 11 o'clock).
Return to Snownow and talk to him again.
Go to an old man located in two o'clock (you need the Chinese Ink and Sticky Mucus here)
and talk to him, then talk to the rich woman (located in the building left of the
central Christmas tree) and she will give you an item.
Take the item and talk to Snownow again, then talk again to the rich woman.
Proceed to talk to the Clown (that ball juggle guy in front of the central Chrismas Tree),
and finally talk to the 2 little kids located in 3 o'clock to receive an item.
Return to Comodo, and talk to the Wandering Bard. He'll then tell you to sing after him.
Now you're done! You're now a Bard. If you have brought the Trunks I have mentioned earlier,
then he will make you a musical instrument (Bard's weapon).

Comment:
if you're going to be a full support Bard, don't bother on getting

Comment:
Quite handy skill as you can sort of defend yourself while doing a musical skill
because Double Strafing won't work with musical skills.
It is up to you if you wish to master it or not.

passed to all enemies within area.
The skill will cause damage 11 times
(3 seconds will pass between each damage) in all.

5 80 Damage Duration: 30 seconds 30
Comment:
For the Dissonance that happens due to a Bard overlapping another
Bard's musical skill area, it does not disappear until one of them
finishes skill he was using. In this case, skill level of Dissonance will be LV 1,
and cause only 40 damage. For Dissonance skill itself, damage will depend
on the skill level a
