If you think NLs are bad at Rose Garden, think again! While it is true that they shine when single targeting with SE, they can still be excellent mobbers if used properly, let me show you how! Since the addition of Von Leon into the server almost one year ago, Burning energies only had one purpose; 250 of them + other materials to craft a special Chaos Scroll for your VL belt that changes your stats anywhere from -2 to +2. Spoiler: What is a VL Belt? Gives 0-8 all stat, can be scrolled to 10 attack if you're lucky like @Chisheng Update 87 changed that by adding a new way to get Ifia's Ring you can now exchange 200 Burning Energy and 40 Shiny Flower Powder for a ring instead of praying for it to drop from boss. Spoiler: What is an Ifia's Ring? This ring gives 0-7 all stat and comes with 1 slot! This encouraged me to find an efficient way to gain Energies and Powders; on what many say is the hardest class to get them on Night Lord Least picked in LHC Golem runs due to poor multitarget damage, said to be subpar in Rose Garden for the same reason in addition to lack of SE, but fear not! whether you are a VL Belt enthusiast who cant find an LHC Golem party or just trying to get a good Ifia Ring on your NL, I'm here to show you an exciting method to doing Rose garden 3rd room bonus and maximizing your Energy and Powder gain! I only recommend doing this if you also need Energies, otherwise 1st room, where mobs don't have super sonic speed, would be a better pick if your only target is Powders. Spoiler: Part 1 : Top left platform Jump attack and clear all the mobs. Spoiler: Part 2 : Middle left platform Lure the mobs to the right corner and safely kill them from middle platform. Spoiler: Part 3 : Middle right platform Lure the mobs to the left corner and safely kill them from middle platform. Spoiler: Part 4 : Bottom right platform Jump attack and clear all mobs. Spoiler: Part 5 : Bottom platform Jump attack and clear all mobs, you might have to go back and forth a few times but try to end on left side then repeat from Part 1! Example rotation : I spent a few days experimenting on how to maximize efficiency, as killing mobs that are faster than your own character is a bit tricky, I'll leave some tips on how I'm able to net over 100+ Energies daily (I do the full 40 minutes despite getting 20 bees way earlier). Don't use 3x skill macro (to avoid getting stuck in animation) Use big client to easily locate the bees Turn on pet loot Buff up before entering (SE and Echo make a big difference) Accept the quest in advance (only needed if you're SEing in FM) When jump Avengering, cast the skill slightly before your character reaches peak of jump, otherwise it will miss because the mobs are short Avoid circling back for loot, let your pet passively loot as you run around and kill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, would love to hear what rates you guys are getting, especially other classes! a little class comparison is always fun right? for example : I got 102 Energies on my 200 NL using 2 stoppers and an energizer (full 40 minute run) Thank you @Jooon for helping with the banners and formatting
Marksman Pre-RG: Post Boss: 11 BE woohoo Post Bonus R3: 130 BE I could not spawn all 20 bees, it took me the entire 40 minutes. Normally I can clear R1 bonus with 8-12 mins left on my MM. Pots used: 1 Cider, 4 Heartstoppers, 1 Gizer TLDR: Getting BEs still sucks ass
Requested by @Tail to collect the burning energies in 3rd map, I did this 3 times after he asked about it, 1st run went dc. 2nd time: -> 439 -> 591 = 152 BE ( without the BE from golem boss, purely from map 3 ) 3rd time: -> 610 -> 856 = 246 BE ( purely from 3rd map too ) Iirc when i was farming the BE for my belt, the average was around 200 BE per run, but never got lower than 170BE as my 2nd run this time.
