ALT ROGUE/STALKER FARMING
Disclaimer: This post is strictly for ALT ROGUES/STALKER. Though it may apply to main characters as well, this is specifically intended for alternate characters. TLDR kung tamad. This guide is not for everyone, only those who have already invested on their equipments.
REQUIREMENTS
We assume that you are already well invested on your main (Stalker) with a good set of equipment and cards. This is needed for this to work. Please see ideal equipment setup.
WEAPON:
▪︎Preferred: +7 to +10 RMB or MB tier IV, 2 slot
▪︎Budget: At least +6 XBOW tier III, 2 slot
OFFHAND:
▪︎Nile Rose
ARMOR:
▪︎Tights tier III
GARMENT:
▪︎Ancient Cape
SHOES:
▪︎Saint shoes or Rune boots (any shoes will do as we have limited options here)
ACCESSORY:
▪︎Gloves tier III or Luna Brooch tier IV
HEADGEAR:
▪︎Cat Ears Beret, Hockey Mask, Gangster Scarf (or any headgear that increase atk)
BACK:
▪︎Quiver or Devil Wing
CARDS (Situational):
▪︎Menblat, Mandragora, Vadon, Goblin, Dessert Wolf
Note: Please be advised that you cannot transfer equipment with enhancements to your alt so you need to have another gear with the same equipment tier (e.g Crossbow and gakkung are the same tier while RMB and mystic bow are the same weapon tier). If you transfer the enhancement level to a lower tier weapon, tendency is you get back the zeny spent and the enhancment level will be higher or max. When you transfer the enhancement back to the original or to a higher weapon tier, the enhancment will not be the same when you transferred it previously and you will need to increase it again manually.
BUILD
TS type with 99 Dex and the rest is Int. Use DS if you are still a rogue. Not applicable to ADL. When you are a rogue, prioritize DS > Vultures Eye > Rob skill.
ADVENTURE BOOK
You need atleast 80 atk bonus from your adventure manual. The higher, the better.
COOKING
You need to unlock 6 food slots and can cook at least 3☆ Foods. 6x Fantasy Fish soup is preferred.
PET
Preferred pet is DEVIRUCHI for added Atk. Baby Dessert wolf for that ignore def or Petite for sp regen.
OTHERS
▪︎Since this is an alt, runes are NOT required.
▪︎Premium is not required but is nice to have as it boosts your farming by 33%. You can buy either using topup method (399php) or buy from exchange (3m). You can immediately get back that 3m in 3 to 5 days, I assure you.
▪︎Converters, Meals (Dex A&B) are required.
▪︎Plagia skill is either Call Spirits or EDP.
▪︎Our aim is to 1 hit all monsters either using TS or DS.
▪︎Since this is an alt, we will need to delete it at a certain point and will need to create a new one.
▪︎You will need to consume 999 foods for sp discharge daily.
LEVELING GUIDE
▪︎Rush your way to becoming a rogue. You need this so you can transfer your items from your main to your alt through kafra storage at level 40. You can also buy Premium using 399 PHP and you can unlock kafra shared storage even if you are not level 40.
▪︎You can ask a friend to leech you from level 1 to 40.
▪︎Do not get any main and side quest, only those needed for class advancement.
▪︎Do not get Monster Resistance (x10 exp) as your level will increase faster. The goal here is to maximize your farming without much level gap. The longer you can farm vs a certain monster, the more effective your farming is.

NOTES
▪︎Use lightning chain when farming. Without prem, we are only allowed to use 7 chain per week or equivalent to 420 minutes real time.
▪︎Finish only board quests that gives you Lightning chain. Disregard everything else.
▪︎Adjust your equipment and cards according to the monster you are farming (e.g use Hockey Mask and Gangster scarf vs Orc Archer).
▪︎You can farm a monster with +/- 20 levels of your current level. Best to farm is if you are +/- 10 levels apart. Beyond that, you need to move to another monster.
▪︎Do not forget to get the skill 'Stand By' and position your character to a location where 2 to 3 monsters spawn.
▪︎Always get the additional 60 stamina from the music box in south pront.
▪︎You can do this until level 85. Once you reached that point, either you delete the character or grind it out until level 90 to get the card album from the novice bag.
PLEASE DO NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS MENTIONED ABOVE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO FARM EFFICIENTLY AND TO 1 HIT THE MONSTERS.
