IV-A. Item Builds
[size=12.8000001907349px]What should we focus as an Assasin?
STR, AGI, INT?
Int is out of the picture.
STR vs AGI
STR gives .380 P-atk while AGI gives .375 P-atk right? So we should go focus on STR.
I prefer getting more Crit than P-atk, Agi gives 3.5 crit while Str gives 1.5
[size=12.8000001907349px]
[size=12.8000001907349px]So Focusing on AGI is better since you're a DPS, so having crit is really good for DPS
Lv. 80 CAP Recommended Build:
NEW/FULL MOON MAPLE SET
LANCEA WEAPON/DDN L-GRADE/BDN L-GRADE
"New Moon or Full Moon?"
Full Moon focuses on FD, while New Moon focuses on Crit.
I prefer Full Moon since you can get to Crit Cap easily (122k @80 cap.) as an Assassin.
Lv. 80 CAP Cheap & Affordable Set
Probably B-set (Elysian) or the Dahar Set.
BUT, I do not recommend them, why?
I know they have better stats than Maple Set, but they do not have Bonuses, which really is disappointing.
After you reach 70, probably go to Guardian Nest. Earn some crystal dude! It is totally worth it. Rather than going Elysian/Dahar set and go VN Easy.
Why not just go Elysian/Dahar and do VN Easy?
VN Easy gives 1-2 fragments, while when you hit 70, and go GN Abyss (usually geared 80 is there, probably ask for some help) You'll get alot of Crystal! So that you can make Maple Set and when you're geared, you can just join VN Abyss. So what is better? VN Easy or GN Abyss then VN Abyss? Definitely going GN Abyss!
Let's get into Weapons.
LANCEA VS L-GRADE WEAPON [DDN/BDN]
Lancea is really good equipment if you don't join/do Dragon Nests. You can replace it for L-grade weapon.
BUT, I recommend BDN/DDN L-Grade. Why?
L-Grade gives hidden potential (if you put codes) and much bonus stats! Even tho the P-atk is lower. I recommend L-Grade rather than Lancea, because with 2 L-Grade weapon, you'll get FD, which is about 318+.
With my set, I reached 1k+ FD (no costumes, cause I am a poor man)
5 Full Moon [+10] + 2 BDN L-Grade, which gives about 600+ FD, and with my plates, it gives 540+ FD.
It is really low tho, but yeah, still good enough for no costume guys.
How about LANCEA ARMORS VS MAPLE ARMORS
Definitely Lancea, because they give better bonus than Maple, if you are really active on VN, sure take it.
The Most Ghetto Moonlover Set:
5 Full Moon + 2 New Moon
It will give you FD + Crit thus sacrificing your P-atk.
Let's compare the sets we have.
1. Full/New Moon + BDN/DDN L-Grade
The most recommended one.
This is the most recommended one. This can hold you off in these present nests. Probably average price for us. Maybe like 5kg or so. Why not BDN L-Grade Armor? Isn't it better? Yes, it is better, and more EXPENSIVE. Let's compare their HP Difference. 70A vs 70L. A +10 Maple Set HP is close to +10 BDN L-Grade Armor HP, it's difference is 180k+HP. Definitely Maple Set is the way to go since it is cheaper than the BDN L-Grade. BDN L-Grade One Piece Armor is worth like 6KG. with that gold, you can get 5 Maple Set in it's half price! The stats I got from this one was:
- 707k HP
- 101k Crit
- 33k Crit Damage
- 1820 FD
- 40k+ P-atk. (something like that, maybe higher)
2. Elysian/Dahar Set + w.e. weapon you have.
Just no, rubbish.
Maybe can work if you are out of gold. Go on ahead if you are experiencing a gold sink.
3. Lancea + BDN/DDN L-Grade
Better than the recommended one.
If you really are active in Volcano Nest, go on ahead! It's better!
4. Full/Moon Maple Set + Lancea Weapon
Worst than Recommended but better than the rubbish.
Well, maybe can work if you really don't have time for Dragon Nests. Since L-Grade can be a pain in the butt to take. Probably recommended for those who don't join BDN.
5. 5 Full Moon + 2 New Moon
That is what I call, the Moonlover!
Why 5 Full Moon + 2 New Moon? This set is really great for those who really addicted GN. The bonuses are great from the Maple Sets! Why do you get more Full Moon rather than New Moon? Full Moon gives FD, while New Moon gives more Crit. You said that we should focus onto getting crit, so New Moon is the good way to go.... No. You can hit like 100k crit easily without your gears. 5 Full Moon gives us 362 FD, which is really high, and 2 New Moon gives us 740 crit, so you'll maintain your crit while having enough FD.
You can switch it up to Four New Moon + Three Full Moon
Why is Full Moon less now? From the gear I gave you here (4 New Moon + 3 Full Moon)
4 New Moon and 3 Full Moon gives you 453 FD and 720 Crit.
From 5 Full Moon, we only got 362FD. So 4 New Moon + 3 Full Moon is better since it gives 453 FD
Ofcourse 453 > 362. Maybe just go with this one.
TL;DR - Full Moon focuses on FD.
while New Moon focuses on CRIT.

Now, accessories!
Accessories can take a pain to get (the good ones ofcourse).
This time, we have Skill Accessories or DDN U-Grade & L-Grade accessories.
Necklace: Vigor Downy Necklace OR Desert Dragon Necklace (L-Grade)
Why not damage? I prefer getting HP/MP in necklace, maybe just my style. You can
