Well, in this topic I was told that the fastest lvling build is an INT nuker. However, I want to know which class/build would allow me to lvl faster. I have triend full STR glavier and Full STR Bower but those are too slow to lvl.

What matters the most for me is to lvl fast (So to be really good at PvM). I don't care a lot about PvP, but it would be nice from time to time. However, I don't mind a class/build that can't PvP that well as far as it's good and fast at lvling. Also, it would be better if I don't have to farm and can go with a 0-2 gap.

So, all in all, which INT nuker (Or any other faster lvling class/build) would be better for me?

hmm...
u like euros?
wellif iam not wrong u where at venus..
try a rouge and grind on 1-2 lvls belove...
that goes fast..
or hit up whit avalon uni/guild and get some plvl

Nop, I don't like Euros, except fro bards, they interest me, but I don't know how fast that would be (Only bard)

hmm...
what u aiming for...
a good pvper or a pver..
sry for the spelling but iam srsly drunk

If you are able to play in a party, I'd suggest you made a Wizard/Cleric character. Otherwise, a Wizard/Bard would achieve your goal.

Wizard/Cleric because:
The Wizard mastery, combined with a good staff, will provide you insane fire power. You're most likely to 1-hit any monster even ones higher leveled than you are. The Cleric subclass will provide you a chance to support your party in their fight by keeping them alive. It's also a fast ticket into parties as people search for Clerics to join their parties.

Wizard/Bard because:
If you are unable to play in a party, Cleric will benefit you less in my opinion. Instead, taking a Bard subclass will allow you to use the speed buff - the faster you walk, the faster you kill. Also, Bards have Noise which will cause general monsters in the levels specified in the skill not attack (not applied on giants/champs). Awesome for soloing!

From personal experience, playing a Wizard is F-U-N. It might die a lot if you don't spend some gold on good gear and play wise but the damage it produces is just awesome. Nothing beats killing 5-6 monsters in 2 seconds

But I don't like euros, I don't like parties. Only euro that interests me is Bard, but I don't know if a character who is only bard would be fast to lvl... If not, please suggest a fast lvling Chinese class/build. I was told INT nuker but I don't know which one.

lol he just said that he dosent like euros

Pure Bard can 0 gap the whole way and be full farmed for all the needed skills, if they buy an sp ticket, and you can do your job in a party pretty well even with a gap.

Fastest leveler if you can get alot parties, and least sp required, AngelEyes is pure bard and they do fine

and to most peoples surprise bards aren't that bad at pvp because they hit so fast

i would say...
go int s/s or bow str..
but i cant say to u waht to like...
but if u wanna lvl fast take bow str or int ss or spear and stay on 1-2 lvls lower mobs...that makes u lvl fast..but if i was u..find a build u like and lvl/train on that then u be good on pvp/pve have fun

Well, do bards really need a ticket? Because I can't get one. Also, would they be expensive to fund? I'm interested on an only bard char, and you make it sound good. Which would be a good build/masteries?

And for Condused, I already have a lvl 14 Full STR bower and I think it's slow, and it consumes a lot of MP pots. How good/fast would be an int s/s?

well a int chara dosent shine until lvl 30++ cuz the u get ur first nukes...
but iam kinda experienced player..
i been in this game for 3 years now...
i say to u..
look on vids on youtube or read in fourms...
instead of looking for a fast lvl chara...
try looking for a chara that u enjoy..
that makes the lvl time seams shorter..
if u have a chara that u like its more fun to grind..
soo there is no short cuts to a good chara remember that..
cuz the way to 90 is long...
just exprement whit some low lvls chara and then decide what u want and dont care how long it takes to lvl it up..
when ur done u gonna be proud..
trust me mate...

Well, thanks for the advice, but I have already done so. I have read forums for about 8 months already, and I have tested a few classes/builds but I just don't enjoy them. I tested a bard for a little bit and seemed to like it, and s/s int seems really nice past lvl 30. That's why I want you to help me decide which of those two would be better for my needs (which have been already stated) and which build/masteries would be better for it

Go s/s nuker then, Chinese have better defense. Although I have to say, I built a pure bard for testing and got to level 28 in three days, playing 2 hours per night. Just kill fast and bards are good for that once you get the 2nd nuke (AOE) at level 20. Only problem is that unless you have a sub like Cleric you have to wear robes.

Nukers are slightly slower to level until you hit 30 and get your nukes. If you do go nuker, get a decent bow and farm SP, you'll need it. Pure Bards are easier sp wise, just weaker IMHO.

First off all...
i cant help u decide what u wanna build...
thats just lame mate..
there is no easy way..
if i tell u waht i like it dsent mean that u like it..
if u like bard gó whit bard...
if u like int chin go whit that but dont ask ppl what they like cuz everyone like diff...
there is only one way to find out what u want and thats to try it our urself..
yea yea i know this sounds like a waste of time but u wont be satifeide untill u done it trust me..i have about 200 chars whit diff builds and races and i still dont know what i like lol..
sry but this is the truth...
i wish i could tell u to go whit that and u love that but thats a lie..

A pure int s/s is quite fun to play if you're willing to farm enough SP for bicheon, light and ice at high levels. I have a level 80 one and it's quite a fast leveler.

There's no build that is fast to level, cheap in sense of gold and SP. If you can't bother to spend time grinding, this game isn't for you. This game requires a lot of time-spending to get anywhere.

True..
this is a i got no life game tho

Well, I decided I want to go bard and only bard, since I don't need so much sp, and I have tested it a little bit and seems fun. Also I have seen some videos and they seem to be good at pvp, pve, job, etc. Maybe they're not the best, but they can do, and I enjoy playing it so that will be it.

Do you think this guide is good enough to build my bard? Or is any other that you know which is better?

What you talkg about? I can easily fight snipers at my lvl =D

well that guide is good but still there is no better guide then experince that u made on ur own..
iknow this sounds lame but its the truth...
i wish u good luck in ur bard...
hope thats waht u want but in my experince...
in 2 months u gonna have a new project going on )
have fun ingame

He's one of the better bards IMHO, so yep

Well then I'll follow that guide for a battle bard. Thanks a lot for all the help. I'm off to play

have fun and i wish u all luck in the world..
some ppl find there dream chara in the first try..
i still belivie that i can make a chara that kills all
so iam gonna serach and try for a while more

3 years has gone and still no luck and i dont think iam gonna find a super build ehtier lol but faith keep my mood up

Well, now there's something I don't know. As a battle bard, do I go full INT, full STR,or hybrid? if hybrid, which one?

euro is no good as hybrids..
if u going bard as main is hard for me to say what u going for...
but what ever u do do not go hybrid...
i must know what ur sub is??

No sub, just bard, battle bard.

if u only gonna go bard i think add just int..
ppl claim that put a few str points its good cuz of the hp help...
but when u get to 9d u get plenty of help from the blues of u gear..
if i was u i go full int

Well, then I guess I'll go full int. Thanks.

Since you don't like Euro party play, I would suggest Chinese, but now that you've chosen pure bard, I want to know how it's like soloing since such a build is heavily reliant on a party.

Support builds like cleric and bard are not really popular when it comes to soloing. They can solo to an extent but leveling would probably be pretty slow.

But then again, you're in Venus. Try party playing now and then, and hopefully, you'll come to like it.

Problem with party playing is that I don't even know how to look for a party, and nobody would like to party with a low lvl bard...

fastest overall lvler


pure int spear with fire/light/force
