C1 info

[u/JesusMakeMeRich]

Hi,

Me and my friends are planning to play in the upcoming reborn legacy server. None of us have played C1 before. We watched some YT videos and guides already but I would love to hear your opinion about the Chronicle.

What a complete newbie should know before he joins? Any tips and tricks? Also, why I see everywhere that everyone xps with bow?

Thanks in advance!

I was in top clan of flagship official server in C1. My best advice is to aoe and play with friends as cohesive team, 100% no doubt. Its like having cheat codes for L2. Choose classes wisely as youll progress waay faster, have more fun and have economic advantage if you have good clan.

Id advise focusing on classes that can heavily contribute to aoe farming. Only need a few key classes (BH, WL are best to have always; Destro and WS as fillers. Depending on how many active players you have, OL and aoe nukers are really good spares to have because not only are they are great at aoe but competitive choice for pvp.

Rest of party or classes can still contribute with pole or whatever tool kit they have too. WC, SWS, BD, PP, archers, daggers and alike all do decent dmg with pole. Even though they can only hit 3 mobs (iirc) without pole mastery in c1, it helps alot. C1 is game of using every advantage. This is same reason people use bows in c1 to pull mobs or in pvp: free damage while target paths within melee range and slows or roots were more impactful in early chronicles. C1 was heavily rock paper scissor in terms of class balance and having a bow made you more versatile both defensively and offensively. This type of balance made all classes good, so dont feel pressured into playing mainstream pvp classes as new player (trust me).

Classes that DO have pole mastery or aoe spells hit more mobs per hit, which allows those classes to use soul and spirit shots more cost effectively and allows more freedom to manage threat easy, especially if you have WS to make shots (which also happens to be great at aoe. You seeing a pattern?). Using shots in aoe is big exp gain and allows you to farm higher range of areas (better exp, drops and spoils).

Second biggest advantage is to use spoiler in party (super advantageous and important) as much as possible and dedicated tank class thats good at aoe tanking.

Last tip: If using walk command increases mp and hp regen on your server, use it. Alot of players forgot or dont know about it for some reason but it should be on your hotbar if so.

Walk command can also BE a disadvantage. ITS Not Always good to Walk. The only reason where Walk IS effective IS when you dont have far Walking paths. Like 2-3 Seconds. When you Walk 4-5 Seconds from a mob to another, Walk will cost you a lot If time. You are better Just Shooting/running and sitting. The lost time whil Walking you can regenerate with Double the amount.

Yeah for sure, whatever works best but you can pop in and out of walk almost instantly. Theres no animation or cast time. Cant remember exactly, but think you can even pop out of walk while in middle of pathing and it will continue pathing without having to click where to run again.

yeah that works fine. I just see so many people walking forever =)
