Stalker tips from Jed Reginald Cruz Detera
Sharing my experience and some tips mga ka-stalker esp sa mga newbie na katulad ko na still learning about sa class natin at sa game. So here it goes..
EDIT: Added my equips and stats at the comments. Pakicheck na lang sa mga gsto makita.
DISCLAIMER: Bow type build. Too Long Dont Read (TLDR). Kung gsto mo makapulot ng konting tips, read this post. Newbie lang din ako. Wag na po ibash kasi weak pa po ako at hindi naman tayo swordie dito para mang-bash. Gusto ko lang maka tulong sa mga kapwa ko Stalkers.
☆ INVEST ON RUNES ☆
Hindi biro magpalakas ng stalker esp kung TS type. Need mo maginvest sa runes. Sabi ng iba, runes over equips. I learned this the hard way. Ang dami kong maling decisions sa game, craft ng ganito, ganyan, refine etc at the end, dmi ko nasayang na zeny. Pinambili ko na lang sana ng Gold Badges (insert damulag song). Dito ko sa group nakuha ung shortest path on TS runes. Currently 1/5 ako sa TS runes since nag solo ko ng 2 weeks na walang guild. Ayun naiwan contribution at GB. Lagi kayo magcontribute sa guild and unlock niyo agad ung stalker runes.
☆ STATS ☆
Wala naman maling build. Kanya kanyang trip yan so gawa ka sarili mo build or use the preferred builds for bow type (ADL or TS). Ang gamit ko ngayon hybrid build. Combination ng TS (99 dex) and Agi and Luck (ADL). Why hybrid? Kasi kpg tntmad ako gumamit ng TS pde ako magnormal attack (lakad matatag! normalin! normalin!) And kpg wala na ko stamina, di na efficient gumamit ng TS which consumes sp (tipid pots, meal and cook food for sp discharge). Agi din for added survivability. Masaket na mobs sa 80+. Luk for crit pra kahit magnormal attack ako, may added damage din from crit hits.
As for INT for TS spamming, personally I would rather prefer Agi and Luk over Int. Hindi worth it ung INT trust me. Although may exception kung 1 hit mo syempre ang mobs. Sa 80+ monsters mahirap mang 1 hit. So kung leveling, stick with ADL or TS hybrid.
☆ EQUIPS ☆
WEAPON - Sa equips naman for TS type, invest on 2 slot crossbow for cards kaso pang mayaman to since need mo cards for added damage. Mahal ng cards ngayon (Menblat, Hydra, Draniliar, Mandragora etc) and konti lng mga murang cards na pang dagdag ng damage natin. Investment naman to so hangang end game and future episodes magagamit mo pa din mga cards.kung tipid gaming ka, aim for mystic bow. Sa ADL naman, malang crab bow. For early game, go for crossbow or gakkung muna.
OFFHAND - Nile bracelet kung may budget, rosa bracelet if nagtitipid.
ARMOR - Tights for added Atk% or Bohemian.
GARMENT - Ancient Cape for that ignore def.
SHOES - Wala pa ko makitang shoes na maganda for TS kaya nka saint shoes ako for bonus stats. Ok din ung shoes na may sp regen.
ACCESSORY - Gloves hands down. Sa mga nagsasabi na mag luna brooch, id rather use cook foods for that sp regen instead of using luna brooch. Kung ADL ka, go for either brooch (agi) or rosary for added luk.
Required din sa atin ung QUIVER for that 7% bonus range damage (and yes, same with NILE BRACELET it affects the damage of TS not only normal attacks - Madalas na tanong dito sa page). Unlockable ung blueprint ng Quiver sa Goblin map, nid mo ng maraming zircon (as in maraming marami).
Sa Headgear naman, preferred is CAT EARS BERET kaso adventurer class D pa bago maunlock so for the meantime, use AOA or any headgear na may dagdag Dex or Atk/Dmg.
☆ SKILLS ☆
For TS type, ensure to max DS, Repeated Firing, Vultures Eye, Triple Shot (Obviously), Rogues Nature, Plagiarism. However, for farming reasons naglagay ako ng Snatch, Rob at Auto Steal since hybrid nga ako.
Bonus Tip: Once na naka copy ka na ng skill like EDP or Call Spirits, kapag nag reset skill ka andun pa din yung copied skill kahit wala ka na plagiarism. (Learned this from this group at ako naman si bugok ginawa. Ayun wala ako plagiarism skill pero nagcacast ako ng EDP)
Wag nio na din po ako tanungin kung ano best skill na icopy. Personally, EDP lang ginagamit ko kasi un lang meron ako since wala na ko plagia skill pero grabe EDP, laki dagdag na atk kpg mataas na Atk mo haha
☆ FARMING ☆
Pwede ka mag linear farming, stick ka lang sa Eggyra or any monster na kaya mo 1 shot or pde ka din maghunt ng materials para ibenta. Personally, ang main source ng income ko is PET ADVENTURE. Nagiinvest talaga ako sa pets ko. Sugal para magtame ng pet using 1 taming item haha. Nagpepet adventure ako dati sa kordt forest nung mahal pa bloody rune (300k ea) at orcish voucher (70k ea) pero ngayon sa Glast Heim Outskirts na for Broken Blade (25k ea) and Biotite (1m ea) and so far i can earn 1m in 1 day sa pagbebenta lang sa exchange. Gumawa ako ng alt character high wiz) just for this purpose. Si stalker naman naghuhunt lang ng cards (desert wolf, minorous, menblatt) at hangang ngayon di pa din pinapalad /sob. Madaming ways para magpayaman pero this is the one that fits my playstyle since i am already a father and works full time from 8 to 5pm.
Sa ngayon eto na lang muna. Sana marami kayo natutunan sa post na ito. Salamat at sa uulitin! Post your questions in the comments and I will try to answer them!
PS. Hindi po ko chixilog. Babae tlga gsto character and I named her after my daughter.
