Sumon

Hey. Umm, can someone help me? At the moment I have 30lvl Acolyte. I want to be Monk in the future. My stats are something like this:
[list:1746ujq6]STR: 20
AGI: 35
Vit: 1
Int: 1
Dex: 16
Luk:1 [/list:u:1746ujq6]

Well the problem is kind a silly. I don't know what skills I should get. Currently I have 21 skill points to spend and don't want to rush as I can't reset them. So can someone help me with Acolyte's skills? I would really appreciate it.

This site could be helpful to choose skills and stats.
Writing all guide would take long time , u can ask me if u have some questions.

Sumon

Well I don't need info on stats. And I definitely don't need guide or something. I just need a simple advice about what skills I should choose...

Sumon, I can not help you with your future Monk's skills, but maybe this info will be useful foe you: Prontera 146,232 is an NPC named Hypnotist. It resets skills for 1st job class characters below Base level 40. I've never tested it, but it should work.

You will definitely need Divine Protection and Demon bane 10 (both), because these are needed for all Monk's skills, but I don't think you should start with them.

Sumon

Oh crap. My base level is already 40 $:\$

Oh and thanks. I'm definitely going to learn those skills. I didn't know Monks need those skills.

Sumon, All Monks are mostly leveling alone , especially while u don't have expensive equips for nice asura damage and u are new at the server. i suggest u to choose ur skills and stats for leveling alone.

Acolythe skills might be like that :
Heal 10
Bless 10
Agility up 9
Demon bane 10
Divine Protection 10

After beign Monk, ur main atk will be triple atk and it needs some skills to be able to invest skill point. theese are ;

iron fist lvl 5
dodge lvl 5
call spirit lvl 5

than u are able to use triple atk and u need to invest at least 5 lvl on triple atk to open other combo skills. You can just activate other combo skills after triple atk and this elicit options. co'z every lvl up on triple atk adds total damage %20 but lower chance %1. I mean lvl 5 triple atk become %25 chance and deals %200 damage but lvl 10 triple atk become %20 chance and deals %300 damage. Yes it's like thief's double atk, this is auto skill. Don't forget u can only use chain combo after triple atk and combo finish after chain combo.
At least ,new skills must be like that.
1 lvl on agility up to make it 9 to 10
triple atk 5lvl
chain combo 5lvl
combo finish 5lvl

And u have already spend 31 of the 49 monk skill point, u will still have 18 job lvl to invest some of theese skills ;

5 lvl on triple atk to make it lvl 5 to 10
5 lvl on iron fist to make it lvl 5 to 10 (+15 atk)
5 lvl on dodge to make it lvl 5 to 10 (+8flee)
to open pnumea 1lvl ruvach 2 lvl teleport 4 warp 1 lvl pnumea; total 10 skill point ( grrr it's to much )
Absorb Spirit (%20 chance to works and steal sp equel to 2x monster's lvl. )Not bad but don't forget u won't have as many dex as other monks have.
I suggest u to find place where are demon and undead monsters, so demon bane and divine protection would be helpful.

Do u need help about stats ?

Sumon

Wow, pretty big post Thanks man. No, I don't need anything else.

I just want to ask this: Am I a rubbish acolyte or it is normal. My current base level is 46 and I still kill wolves in the south of Payon. The reason of that is whatever I try to kill (Metallings, Orc ladies, Desert wolves, skeletons in Payon dungeon 2) I have to spam food. Otherwise I die and fail pretty hard. This was bugging me for a while.

Knock Out

if u don't have necessary equipments , it's normal . u can try orc dungeon first level or duet party at lou yang .
this is mini guide for combo monks but i have to say combo monks are not easy to achieve 99 lvl

Sumon

Thing is no one wants to party. Most of people just ignore me, other levels are too small/big.

I'm currently leveling at Amatsu dungeon. Hard, but nothing else to do.

Шокко

Sumon, you might as well continue to level in Amatsu, exp there equals to or even greater than in party. Get yourself vvs fire stunner and level on firelocks and later mayby on toads (second level).
I'm no expert in monks, but skills for aco are probably:

Heal 10
Blessing 10
Ruwach 1
Teleport 2
Warp Portal 4
Pneuma 1
Increase Agility 1
Demon Bane 10
Divine Protection 10

Knock Out, he can't get agi up to 9, because then he'll have not enough points for pneuma..

Knock Out

where will he need pnumea? he probably lvlng at fur seals, he need both cast lvl 10 it's combo monk.

Hehe, thanks. I prefer this build. Except I would change Heal lvl to 7 and Inc Agi to 4. What do you think about that?

At the moment I have +5 Stunner. Maybe I'll enchant it with fire But problem at amatsu dungeon is Firelocks have melee skill, which decreases my hp by 80%. Any tips how to avoid it? Or it is impossible?

Pneuma is a very good skill and it solves a great deal of problems

Merl

Sumon, it's probably Fire Attribute Attack, so Pasana or Jakk Cards should help, but they are pretty expensive.

Sumon

I thought it is elemental or something. One guy talked about it but it seems I didn't get.

Anyway, anyone by any chance has a Manuk hat?

Sumon

Hehe today I've become Monk and my level is 66. I am combo Monk and I would like to ask several questions:
1.) Should I wear fists?
2.) Fists are one handed, yeah?
3.) I have Ice fists available at level 75, are they good?

Тёмные Ночи

@Sumon:
Hehe today I've become Monk

2.) Fists are one handed, yeah?
Congratulations! :Bravo: :Bravo:

All Knuckles are one-handed. So are Fists.

Sumon

Hehe, thanks. This is first time ever I reach second job

My skill build is this: <a class="postlink" href="http://web.hc.keio.ac.jp/~fk061999/himeyasha/skill3/mon.html?10akakJkdAhFbnHScA2k">http://web.hc.keio.ac.jp/~fk061999/hime ... hFbnHScA2k</a>

Feedback will be appreciated

Alterschwede

I'm curious if it is possible to reach 99 with a pure combo monk. Have one on 76 and it kinda suck xD

Zero X

Well, what rights do the internetional section mods have?
It would be cool to have some more subthreads like: Creative Art or Class Discussion
on our own. Not to marginalize the russian people just to have one in english.
Every russian player capable of speaking english can join the discussion as he want.

Just wondering
