Hi Royallers, after reading some other sair guides, I decided to make my own. I tried not to be repetitive, just wrote the experience (that people might wonder ) that I was not able to find in other posts or could find partially. First of all, I don’t recommend a corsair as your first char if you are keen on washing since you will be very weak and will experience slow leveling, especially after you’re done with PQs, which may result in disappointment. Instead, I went for a DRK as a first char, which enabled me to leech my sair from 105 to lv 16x by killing BF, crow and other bosses. ( I was taking my sair with me during Zaks, CWK, HT. ) Note: Having a sought-after class will make it easier to save money by joining bosses or LHC (juicy gacha ) Note2: If you’re really willing to start with a sair, I recommend you to have a sought-after mule like HS, CR or SE ( I opted CR since it’s always needed for zak, krex, HT and scar ) Sections: A- Washing a Sair B- 4th JOB SKILLS C- Duo Attack D- LHC and Rose Garden E- Bullet A- WASHING A SAIR Why do you need to wash as a sair? Sairs’ base HP is not enough to tank bosses. You either will not be able to join some bosses at all or can only join on further levels like 180. Von Leon: 17.5k Shao: 11.5k HT: 11.5K ( leg touch dmg up to 11.3 ) Big Foot: 11.5k Toad: 16K Kacchu Musha: 11.2k *What kind of gears did i use? 1- Bathrobe ( 16>20) 2- Wand ( 6>7) 3- Earring (9>11 ) 4- 4 INT Yellow SS 5- Talking Witch Hat (11 INT) and then Zhelm scrolled with INT (30 INT) 6- Capes ( 4>6>9>11>19 ) 7- Broken Glasses ( 7 INT) 8- Maple Shield (6/7 INT ) 9- Work Gloves ( 5 INT) 10- Spigielman (2-3)> Deputy Star (5) > HTP (23) How much INT did I put into? Well, at the beginning, I put like 180 INT till like lv 50s and then 220 and finally 250 on lv 100-110. Much I learnt about sairs’ wash, I realized that I needed more INT than I thought. These are the questions you have to answer before starting: Q1- Do you want to join VL runs? Q2- Will you be able to buy expensive INT gears? Q3- Will you wash INT on lv 135-140 or can keep it till lv 155-160? A1: If yes, you should aim for 17.5k hp….In this case, I recommend you to have 300 Base INT with expensive INT gears…… If no and satisfied with HT and shao, you can aim for 12.5k HP (still gonna miss some bosses apart from VL…. ) and in this case, 150-180 INT will be enough for you ( including olaf, Ellinia hp quest and a few Reuel’s quests). A2: If yes, you can keep INT stats a bit lower….. If no and you still want to join VL runs, you should have 320 base INT with average INT gears. A3: If you want to wash on lv 135, you should keep INT a bit more ( like +20/30) When to take out INT? On lv 153, I took out 110 INT and took out the rest on lv 161… But I still try to equip INT gears right before I level up People usually takes out on lv 135-145 for bossing, but since sair washing is a bit more grueling than the other jobs, I decided to keep those INTs as much as I could. (That’s why I said it would be better to have another char before going for a sair. ) How to calculate? Each wash will decrease 16 MP and increase 18 HP To calculate how much extra MP you have: 18xLevel +111 ( Don’t take into consideration the MP you are given by the equips. ) On lv 157, I had 9250 HP (with gears) and 8150 MP (base) ( MoN +300 HP, Olaf till the stage 7 and Ellinia HP quest and 10 days of the Reuel HP quest) When I was done with washing on lv 175, I had 17.344HP and spent like 340 APRs for washing and 245 for INTs, 585 aprs in total and 6.1b ) Points to be underlined: A- I have a PGA…. I’ll change it to a bfc, which can increase my HP by 130 B- I will do master collector: +300 HP C- I haven’t done lv160 olaf yet: +450 HP D- I don’t have 2 carat love ring (+150 HP) and Rudo’s shiny nose (+ 50 HP) since I created the account after those events. E- I forgot to equip INT gears like 7-10 times as well before leveling up. F- I haven’t scrolled my pet’s equip yet (100-140HP) ( The day after writing this, scrolled an equip to 140 HP… I think you can gain more by scrolling other pets’ equip too. Each pet can only equip 1 ) All makes +1200 hp, which is enough for VL. KEEP IN MIND: 0- I made a mistake by not adding all INTS at once, probably that caused me -300/500HP 1- Don’t wash your all MP at the same time, it’s useless to have more than 12/13k hp (for shao and HT ) till you start VLing (lv 175). That’s because if you take 1/1 hit by bosses, your ship will get less damage than 15-17k hp…. So it’s better to have less HP on earlier levels. 2- If you don’t want to spend that much money on HP washing, you can do Reuel’s daily hp quests( daily 10 - 50 HP ). But don’t forget that: Even with 250 INT and keeping it till lv 160, I was still away from my goal of 18k HP. I highly recommend you to wash with base 300 INT+ even if you are not funded…. You can wash in time the way I do… 3- I was not on mw20 most of the time while leveling. If I had been able to be on mw20 while Leveling, I might have had +150/250HP 4- If you are funded, you can buy equips with high INT, but don’t forget that it might take some time to resell expensive INT gears since people are satisfied with average ones. Instead, you can put more into INT stat, it will cost less than buying INT equips. For example, Between 20 and 30 INT bathrobe, there is a 200-300M price difference. If you put 10 stats into INT, it will just cost you 105M. 6 INT maple shield is like 220-280M, but 10 INT is like 800/900M ( it adds up only 4 INT ). B- 4th JOB SKILL BUILDING You’re 120: 1 point to Rapid Fire, 1 to Battle Ship, 1 to Cannon and NOW…. DECIDE: LHC (lv 143+) or Bossing (lv 135+)? For LHC: Battleship>cannon>torpedo>bullseye> elemental >rapid fire >mw For Bossing: Battleship> cannon> bullseye> rapid fire> torpedo>elemental> mw Mine is kinda Hybrid: Battleship > Cannon > Bullseye > Torpedo > Rapid Fire > Elemental > MW(10) > Octobi> Aerial Strike > Hypnotize Elemental Boost is a MUST for Von Leon since you will not be able to use torpedo for gargoyles, so make sure you’ve already maxed it by 175 and you have glaze/blaze capsules 1 set of each. Furthermore, Elemental Boost 30 is kinda hard to find by owl since it is only dropped by Reindeers at LHC, a spot where people usually don’t run. ( I bought 1 for 166m at the market, but failed. Then, I tried to grind there on my own, after an hour of grinding on my drk, I was able to get 1 and it worked. There are some donation threads on the forum too. ) (The best spots for capsules are cellions (orbis) and kentaruos(leafre) since it might be hard to find in FM stores..... can hit me up too if you need 1.... I have some) SHIP: Ship is so fargile on earlier levels, that’s why should be maxed since you will not be able to use your main attack skill (cannon) without ship. Once your ship is broken, can’t not be used it for 90 secs. Your ship’s HP will increase as you level up ( 40k hp on lv 140 and 200k on lv 200 ) Your ship won’t have much problem after lv 145 at bosses like Zak and Krex…But the most challenging boss for sairs is Horntail. You need to focus on every movement of HT during the run, but once you get the hang of it, you will be able to start doing well. You will have to hop off/on while bossing to dodge 1/1 or high dmg attacks, but since the hopping animation is quick, you will not lose much time. you should cancel HB if the boss you’ll do has 1/1 attack skill (if you have enough HP to tank it with your own HP). Note: Your ship will not heal itself, there are only 2 ways to hop on a full hp ship: either it breaks and you wait for 90 secs or you need to relog. Note: You have to be familiar with bosses’ 1/1 attack animations as a sair. C- DUO ATTACK Sair is not an ideal duo attack partner due to the ship and low-avoidability. People usually do that with shad+bucc. It is , still, not impossible to duo attack with a sair. It will just not be as effective as other pairs. I can duo attack (drk+sair including CR mule) at bosses zak, krex, shao and cwk but when it comes to HT, I can only duo attack half way: The first 2 heads and the tail/leg if there is a tail-rush (thanks to smokescreen). You can’t duo attack on top parts unless there is smokescreen. I use the game’s own macro skill, and filling the 3 slots with main attack skill, when there is a high dmg animation by the boss, I just hop off the ship and reship quickly ( while you do that, thanks to macro skill, the other char will keep hitting, so you will not lose dps ) Note: At CWK, I don’t solo top bosses on my sair, it’s just a supporter attacker, which makes the run faster. While main attacker does its job, I attack from the right/left spot on the both bosses. So, a faster run + leech… I haven’t tried to be a main attacker at top and bot bosses at the same time since I don’t have cgs for the both chars. D- LHC and Rose Garden Since there are few sairs on the server, people know little about sairs’ power. That’s why they might be reluctant to invite a sair. What to know about sairs: 1- Of all ranged attackers apart from marksmen, sairs outdamage the rest easily and we can include buccs as well. 2- Sair and MMs are the best ranged jobs that can fit into a melee party. I think It is possible that a funded sair can outdamage some unfunded melee jobs. ( can’t tell it for sure ) 3- Mostly, your ship will survive the fight or break once. In that case, you should have capsules, they help you compensate your dps loss. A Test: I did LHC golems on both my drk (lv 200 12.3k range ) and sair (lv 174 can’t remember the range with mw20) in a melee party on the same day. Here is the result: Drk's party: 368M ( 200drk (me)-19x paladin-155 shad- 17x bucc - shad 16x - 17xdrk) Sair’s party: 387M (19x drk- 19x shad- 19x bucc- 18x pally - 174sar (me) ) I know it looks weird and surprising But need to stress that Drk’s party was including 3 warriors but mostly low levels, sair’s party was including 2 warriors but mostly high lvls ( probably funded as well ) .( don’t forget that except my CGS, my other equips really bad or average…plus, No 2 carat love ring or rude’s shiny nose and etc. ). So, probably that explains the difference between the EXP. So, I can clearly say that sairs can fit into a melee party. Rather than wasting your smegas for the last melee and unless there is a warrior that you can invite, just give a chance to sairs. Some might oppose to that by saying ‘’ a melee party can gain up to 420/440M exp ‘’, that’s true if you have a 190+ party including all funded members and must be 3-4 warriors (should be 2 DRKs). So, it’s kind of rare…. Mostly melee parties gain around 380-400M exp. RG: It’s been known to all of us that Melees are the best for RG, they can quickly pass the stages, kill the boss and start hunting bees and they can even have some more time like 7-12 mins after catching 20 bees. As a melee, when you have good gears, you won’t need apples at all. Stopper + a gizer would be enough as I do on my drk. As for ranged classes, they kinda suck at RG. My RG experience on my sair is: Echo + mw10 + apple for the boss + gizer for bees With the buffs above, so far I’ve been able to catch 10(my lowest)-17(my highest) bees. I don’t think one should use an apple for the bee stage unless you want to gain more exp (to be honest, RG is much better than some bosses in terms of exp ( on lv 175 the boss gives 8% and during the whole RG 12%)). I tried the bee stage with apple and w/o apple both on my sair and drk, There was some times that I did better with apple and worse with apple. So no need to waste your apples for the bee stage. I was on gizer on my best bee stages on my sair and drk. Having mw20 during RG can enable you to gain +2 mins, which means you can hunt 2 more bees. It's not a big deal for my drk, but as for my sair, it can make a difference. Since I’m low level and have bad or average equips except CGS, I’m not the best sair to supply the most accurate data for RG. That’s why I asked a pro sair about it (lv200 with 11.3k range): He said he could hunt 20 bees still having 4-5 mins left. One of the most important thing about RG: PURE LUCK… why? The first 2 stages will make it possible for you to hunt 20 bees or less… Cuz getting 5 seeds/keys might turn into a nightmare and consume your precious time. Getting those depends on PURE LUCK unless you are a really really slow and untalented player. Sometimes, you’ll do the 2 stages in 3-4 mins, sometimes 7-10 mins. You can take each minute as a lost bee. So, If you want to hunt 20 bees, you should have 25+ mins left after killing the boss …. ( I’ve experienced that 20 bees spawned in 15-18 mins… but that’s quite rare ) Another point you need luck: Bee spawns, sometimes it spawns back to back and sometimes won't spawn even single one in 3-5 mins. I don't think it's something related to the classes that much, for I experience that situation on both of my chars. Some tips: 1- I tried both torpedo and fire+ice macro and kept time…. Torpedo is 1 sec faster or sometimes it’s same cause you will lose time while repositioning yourself and trying to avoid the hits. On fire+ice macro, you can just mingle. So, I think it’s better to use fire+ice macro there. Don’t forget the capsules. When you are strong enough, torpedo will do better than ice+fire macro… Plus, since you can fire+ice on ship as well, you can freeze them and then use torpedo. 2- On the boss stage, when the boss hits the floor, you can evade the hit by jumping; don’t need to unship. 3- When you are on the boss stage, firstly clear some mini golems there with torpedo. You can easily concentrate on the boss when there are only few of them. A WISH: I wish sairs had dark knights' def crash skill for the boss stage. E- BULLET You can just use any till you hit lv 70 on which you are able to start using teamwork bullets. You can stick to teamwork bullets till you have royal bullet (lv 180 ) Teamwork +21 Att ( each set consists of 3700 bullets ) — Royal +24 Att ( each set 4700 ) How many sets to hold in your inventory? If you can use cannon nonstop, you will spend like 380 bullets in a minute (more on SI buff ). The longest run for a sair is horntail, which gonna take your 75-90 mins. That equals to 28.500 - 34.200 bullets. But it’s not the case since it’s impossible to fire non-stop. You will reposition yourself and get seduced etc…. So the ideal estimation would be 60-70% of the numbers above. So: 60%: 17.100 - 20.520 > average 18.500 which is equal to 5 sets of teamwork 70%: 19.950 - 23.940 > average equals to 6 sets of teamwork. So, you don’t need to keep more than 6 sets of bullets and 2 sets of capsules (1blaze 1glaze). The ideal sets for me are 3 sets of Royal Bullet and 3 sets of Teamwork Bullet. Note: You can either craft royal bullet or buy (1.2/1.3b)…. For the craft, please check craft guides. ATTENTION: This guide is based on my experience and that’s why might not be fully right… There are some great sair guides… I tried to cover the topics that other sairs might find useful or that I was not able to find in the other guides ( maybe I missed ).
