Sooo, i think its time for an
Alchemist Guide, hope it will
help some of you....
First...what is a Alchemist? Its an character with great magic attack dmg, but also able to heal a party, revive, buff party and debuff enemys!
Lets
get started....u create a character and lvl it to lvl 15....its fast when u put all ur points into
str.
Some of u ask now ...why the bloody hell str???
u can reset with a free item ur stat points when ur lower lvl 16....so be sure u dont lvl too fast and reset them at lvl 15.
thats kinda the main guide for all characters ^^. find partys and fight "Ur" for fast exp.
with lvl 10 u can choose ur Jobclass and that is Scholar. Scholar are Healer and its hard to lvl alone, so be sure u make fast friends and get alot partys to fight monsters like 3 lvl higher than your own level. Always try to lvl with partys in dungeons because the exp and drops there are best.
Try to stat your character
3 points stamina and 2 points wisdom each lvl.
most stamina because if the healer die, the party die! alot wisdom to heal and revive the party a whole fight without getting out of mana.
Now for the skills.....
As Scholar u can get ALOT of skills...its really confusing and awsome.
To single heal a teammate or yourself get the
Cure Magic skill.....i know some of u think now "why the cure magic when force healing heals alot more?" because when you are later Alchemist, force healing ends with lvl 35 and healing 544 HP....but Cure Magic is the skill for Alchemists, u can upgrade it till lvl 65 and heal around 800+ hp.
Revive...nothing to say i think, important as hell, not for you but your party is greatfull.
Group Threapy...an areal group healing spell...very important. u can heal the one you aim on + the ones 1 field besides him. think carefull when u must heal alot people to get them all healed ;)
Recovering Magic....nice healing spell. it gives a special amount of hp all 3 seconds lasting 30 seconds. when you count together its more than your normal cure magic and u need low mana too.
Heart Shock...your way to fight. its an attack to "poison" your enemys. try to get them all poisoned and then heal yourself untill they die and attack with
pet ^^
Shelter... its important i think. you wont be attacked alot when you use that skill always first round, so be sure you stay alive.
Passive Skills... like defense magic, occultism etc....upgrade them all. maybe u dont need to upgrade the wrestle magic skill but i did too ^^.
Protection Shield figured out, this is a very nice skill...absorbing 15% magic and physical damage for 15 sec....well 15 seconds are not very long but at higher level fights 15% dmg absorb can be 100+ hp ...for pvp maybe nice when u use it right before enemy use all his collected attacks
If you wanna be more an Alchemist who can cure the party from buffs be free to learn those skills, but the more skills you learn, the more SP you need later and thats the problem..
Now you can level and have fun untill level 35 and start the Job-change-quest in dragon city. you probably need help cause its not easy, but try to find nice partys. at lvl 38 comes the second jobchange part...even harder now but it ok with stong party.
When you reach lvl 40 and have done your Quest....Gratulation....you are an Alchemist. From now on you wear Euipment with alot stamina and wisdom (cloth)...try to create or buy from others.btw you look like a coloured Fairy ^^
New Skiiiiiiills....
your main goal is
God Arrow....its your attack skill and based on magical attack. takes alot mana but does great damage too. this attack lower the enemys magic defense ...so your second shot is even more powerfull. Since you can easy solo lvl now, have always alot of mana potions with you
Magic Shock....increase all partys magic attack...very nice skill for urself with god arrow and partys with mages
Magic Rebirth... like the recovering magic but healing mana this time....taking 2 storage points so i would prefer...
Magic Flash with lvl 45. i dont think in a hard fight u can store 2 points ^^..since you can recover your mana in fight now you can go for more HP i think.
Magic Shield increasing all partys magic defense...sure usefull..
Death Area...increase partys deadliness ...dont know if this skill is good yet, ill update this guide when i reach 45 ^^
Pet question....well what kind of pet should and Alchemist use?
Soldier.....sure usefull to have a bodyguard with good defense
Agile... nice to have an damage dealer, especially with Vile gift ^^
Magic...Alchemists are kinda magic user so...with the right skill still usefull
Control...thats a nice one with the right skills, figure it out ^^
Assistant...thats the way i think....it can heal you in bad situations, buff you with like +15% more magic damage or make you faster with leopards swiftness skill. Leopard Swifness is important for all Schoolar and Alchemist i think cause sometimes uyou cant be fast enough to heal your party.
I hope this guide helps you next generation Alchemists. Have fun , JStar
