Hi,
With the new patch coming very soon, I’ve been repeating myself a lot to guildies on nice stuff to prepare for so decided to write up a quick guide. Sorry for my shitty writing skills (English not my first language), feel free to format it properly/correct my mistakes. Will edit it accordingly. Also note that some info might be erroneous due to basing myself on other versions. So here goes.
New patch will bring Mushin Tower Floor 1-7, Bloody Shark Harbor 4, 6 and 24man along with Hongmoon Levels 1-5 and Hongmoon skills (3 of them I believe).
------Mushin Tower------
Mushin tower is a solo dungeon. There will currently be only 1 daily for it giving 1 gold. It is a very very good thing to prepare for mushin and to run it multiple times for the Endless Tower Soul shield. It drops from floor 4 to 7.
Personally, this soul shield is the best one to farm once new content comes out since it’s from a solo dungeon that you can rerun by yourself non-stop. Once you master the mechanics for floor 4-7, you can just rinse and repeat until perfect soul shield. Takes about ~30min maximum for a full run once you’ve got the hang of it.
You can find guides for Mushin tower all across youtube/google. The first 6 floors are pretty simple, the 7th floor gets a bit complicated, but once you’ve got the hang of the mechanics, pretty easy.
You may also get Breakthrough materials for your main accessories/weapon through Mushin Tower. If you’re unlucky and not finding them, you can just farm the Warrior Tablets on each floors and trade them in to the NPC outside (Just like Siren’s Emblem).
-----BSH-----
This one is important. It will drop materials/weapon/accessories for evolving your items. Again, same system as Poharan, you can get emblems (I do not remember their name.. Pirate token?) if your RNG really sucks and you can trade for your specific weapon outside.
The soul shield from this dungeon beats Endless Tower in terms of damage, so a good thing to farm up. Not 100% confirmed.. Other versions differentiate on these sets
BSH 4 man is where it’s important. The last boss will have a chance to drop a skill book, class specific, for legendary skill. It is tradeable (on other versions at least). You want this to start up on a quest-chain to unlock one of your hongmoon skill (It differs for each class. You can find out which one it is by looking at your hongmoon skill and searching the one that says “Acquired from Bloody Shark Harbor”).
Again, lots of dailies here just like Poharan. Can make an easy 4 gold per day from it.
---Legendary skills---
Besides the BSH4 one, you will have 1 other skills.
1 of them is a “pvp skill” (or that’s what they name it). You get it through 5000 Zen Bean (currency from arena). It is a simple consumable that you eat and then it unlocks an achievement, which unlocks your skill.
Edited out LMB skill as it has been confirmed that it is NOT coming out with this patch
-----Hongmoon Levels-----
Hongmoon levels are extra level. They are releasing 5 for now. The first one gives 5 skill points, and then every Even levels give you 1 skill point and every Odd level give you 2 skill point.
Here are the EXP required and stat bonus from 1-5 (again, that’s based on other version)
L0-1 requires 0 EXP, grants 500 health, 0 attack, 6 defense, 6 parry, and 8 dodge.
L1-2 requires 750K EXP, grants 566 health, 0 attack, 7 defense, 7 parry, and 9 dodge.
L2-3 requires 900K EXP, grants 641 health, 2 attack, 8 defense, 8 parry, and 11 dodge.
L3-4 requires 1M EXP, grants 726 health, 2 attack, 9 defense, 9 parry, and 12 dodge.
L4-5 requires 1.138M EXP, grants 822 health, 4 attack, 10 defense, 10 parry, and 14 dodge.
When you reach lvl 45, you automatically get to Hongmoon level 1.
Now onto special recommendation for future contents. (All of this is personal preferences and may be subject to change in NA version. Take for granted at your own risk. Most of it applies to lvl 50 content that has not been announced yet.)
Naryu coins. Maybe some of you have been exchanging them to Naryu silver coins already. Maybe not. The spinning wheel outside E.Fleet should be accessible with the release of BSH. That wheel takes multiple currency. Moonwater Valor Stones, Naryu Coins and I dont remember the others. Per my experience, I’ve gambled all my Naryu coins on that wheel and still got more than 1 silver coins per 20 naryu coins in the end. The good thing from that wheel is it can give non-tradeable Brilliant/Sparkling Hexagonal Gems, Naryu Silver coins, Naryu Gold coin and costumes token I believe. Personally I recommend gambling all your Naryu coins there, but that’s up to you.
Moonwater Valor Stones; You may have been taking the keys every dailies at 45. Personally I recommend taking the valor stones. You’ll need a lot of them for guild crafting but also for lvl 50 content. Once lvl 50 content comes out, there will be a wheel just like other stones where you can exchange Moonwater stones for a chance at Silverfrost stones. The good thing about Silverfrost stones is that almost every required evolve items (weapon/accessories) are in the silverfrost valor stone shop (They require like 100-200 of them.. but still, they’re there if your rng really sucks).
Take this in consideration at your own risk. There is a lot of chances that Pirate Soul wont be implemented in NA Pirate Weapon/Soul; With the release of lvl 50 content, the Siren/Pirate weapon path will be removed from the game. True Profane will evolve directly into lvl 46 weapon and then go on from there. The Pirate weapon, if you have it, has 2 choice. You may either Evolve it later on directly to a lvl 50 weapon (Note that lvl 46-49 weapons have lower stats than Pirate) or you may dismantle it for Pirate Soul (A special item that gives 20 atk power and 15% crit damage). Personally, I recommend building up a 2nd weapon up to True Profane (Or a 2nd Pirate if you’re that rich/patient..). Once your 2nd weapon is equivalent to your pirate, Dismantle it for the pirate soul.
Soulstones (Credit: insi9nia): Also, farm up all your Soulstones. Come lvl 50 you cant get them off sub-50 faction quests. Made the mistake of skipping them on TW, and weapon upgrades past Oath takes 150ish each.
So that’s it for now.. I’m probably missing some stuff, I’ll edit as I remember them. Feel free to format it properly/correct my mistakes and I’ll edit it. I’ll be editing stuff once the patch hit to properly reflect our version.
TL;DR
Feb 10 patch
Farm Mushin tower for Endless Tower soul shield perfect crit/HP
Farm BSH 4 man for Legendary skill and Weapon/accessories materials and BSH set perfect crit/HP.
Do lots of pvp for Zen Bean for legendary skill.
