Donn1e's Buccaneer Guide - Updated for 2025

Thanks donnie! Not sure if you have some time? but would love some advice on gear upgrading and optimizing my gear to get better damage? Just want to check if im on the right route

If you do have some free time, and are willing to take a look?

 

Ill send you a forum dm

 

Hi Donnie, was wondering if you had any tips for doing RG as a bucc? It's always a struggle getting 20 bees on bucc compared to say hero where I almost always finish with plenty of time remaining.

 

Bucc will not be as good as warriors/shads in RG because of the limited target count and range of corkscrew compared to rush.
There are also some other limiting factors like the lack of any skill to chase bees and not being able to mount due to transform.
Two things that will make your experience slightly better are:
1) Do room 1 and use the fact ds+snatch can hit multiple platforms. It's not always needed but will sometimes be useful.
2) Have level 11+ super transform (1 min cd and 2 mins duration), that way if you are in the 2nd half of the transformation cooldown you can cancel it by manually right clicking it on the buffs bar.
Chase the bee on your mount, and then transform again.

I gave rooms 2 and 3 a fair chance, because on paper multi platforming is far more useful on room 2, and the fast mobs and long platforms in room 3 should also be pretty good for bucc.
Despite them feeling pretty good at times, on average room 1 was definitely the fastest by far.

 

Super helpful as always, thanks!

 

Hey Donnie,
Was curious if the SP reset HP washing method is still working?
I have a level 100 buccaneer and only saw your guide after reaching level 100.
I wanted to check something I didn’t put points into the skill you mentioned regarding Double Shot, and I currently have 11 points in the Double Uppercut skill. Is it still possible to do this, or will it no longer work?

 

It will work, but it will be 5% less efficient. This method is designed for rich lv200 players who don't want to do the repeatable HP quest anymore and prefer to burn money to get more HP immediately, so it is not relevant at all to a lv100 marauder.

 

Perfect!
I still have 200 APRs left over from an old character, and I feel like Buccaneer has less HP to work with, so I’ll make use of that.
It’s possible to do this at level 135, right?
and Thanks a lot—the guide is amazing, too bad I didn’t know about it when I first started leveling the character.

 

I am not Donn1e so don't thank me for the guide.
I do not recommend using this method as it is a lot less efficient than normal HP washing methods.

To start with, do this:
1. add 1 fresh AP to HP, or reset 1 DEX to HP if you have more than 100 DEX
2. use APRs to -MP +HP until the game doesn't allow you to do it anymore

If you are still not happy with the amount of HP you have after doing this, then do as much Olaf as you can, then do the water from the spring of youth questline

if you are STILL not happy with your HP, then level up from lv135-155 with whatever INT equips you have, then do step 2 again

and if that's STILL not enough? tbh your time/money is probably still better spent doing reuel's repeatable HP quest than this extravagant method
