How do you get higher leveled equipment?
My Bishop character is Lv.174, and I need to have Lv. 120-150 armor because monsters deal 4,000-5,100 damage to my Bishop character. Where can you get Lv. 120-150 armor from?
Comments
also i can't recommend Bishop as a first char
normal 140 armor(Pensalir) will drop from mobs lvl 130+
lvl 150 Armors can be acquired from Chaos Root Abyss bosses(lvl 180) or from hyper burn events
here my recommendation(this is part of my written guide although i yet to publish the full thing)
anyway eventually you want all classes to 200 but if you want to make solid progress here you go

CLASS IN ORDER TO BE MADE
0-Evan(Special)..for Evan you want to create it when there an event which has a lvling map that
you can use a rune buff inside...otherwise do not rush this class too early(the Average Exp gain OVER 15 MINUTES
is 13.5% at rank 3)...100% Exp over 54-126 extra seconds granted by the link is equal to 6.66% to 13.5% over 15 mins
so unless there a good event that can make use of it create it in the order i listed it
1-Wind Archer(lvl 150)...+30 ATT/M-ATT acc wide(Empress Blessing) + 7 ATT/M-ATT(Link) + 40 Dex(Legion Effect)
2-Mercedes(lvl 120).......+15% exp(Link) + 2% skill cooldown reduced(Legion Effect)
3-Zero(lvl 140)...........+4% Exp(Legion Effect)...Zero start at lvl 100?...basicly free huge progress to unlock your legion earlier
4-Ark(lvl 140)............+11% dmg(Link) +40 Str
5-Demon Avenger(lvl 120)..+10% dmg(Link) + 2% boss dmg(Legion Effect)
6-Kanna(lvl 120)..........+10% dmg(Link) + 2% Boss dmg(Legion Effect)
7-Hoyoung(lvl 140)........+14% dmg on first hit + 10% ignore Defense(Link) + 40 Luk(Legion Effect)
8-Hayato(140).............+25 All Stats + 15 ATT/M-ATT(Link) + 3% Crit dmg(Legion effect)......
8-Hayato-->Mega Burn it to 150 to not suffer !!!
9-Phantom(120)............+15% Crit Rate(Link Skill)
10- Lynn(140).............+10% Crit Rate + 10% boss dmg(Link Skill) +3% Ignore Defense(Legion Effect)
11-EVAN(130) OR 210(if you got lvling pot to feed it)...burn it if its too hard for you to play it
12-Marksman(lvl 140).......+3% Crit Rate(Legion Effect) + small Crit Rate(Link)
13-Night Lord(lvl 140).....+3% Crit Rate(Legion Effect)
14-Luminous(lvl 120).......+15% Ignore Defense(Link) + 20 Intel(Legion Effect)
from this point you got your Core for Links & Legion Effect

alright....next up what class should be first to 200-210 ? once you got all at 140(except F/P)
you wont need +main stats anymore for the highters level but your gonna need end-game effect fully powered up
53-Evan(210)
54-Phantom(210 ?????(only if you need it to get 98%+ crit rate))
55-Demon Avenger(210)
56-Ark(210)
57-Marksman(200)
58-Night Lord(200)
59-Luminous(210)
60-Shade(200)
61-Hayato(200)...only with lvling potion or lvling event map..not worth suffering
62-Demon Slayer(200)
63-Mercedes(210)
64-Kanna(200)
65-Wild Hunter(200)
66-Zero(200)
67-Lynn(200)
68-Blaster(200)
69-Corsair(200)
70-Mechanic(200)....only with lvling potions or lvling event map..not worth suffering
71-Angelic Buster(210)
remaining 140....wtv order you wanna do them
most classes should be at or near 100% crit rate at that point anyway so
only do Phantom to 210 if the classes your maining need that link(bellow 88% crit rate)
If you're only interested in the boss set armors, then you'll want to kill Hilla (120, Necro), Von Leon (130, Royal Von Leon), Cygnus (140, Lion heart), Chaos Root Abyss (150, CRA/Fafnir) above 150 you also have Lotus/Damien (160, Absolab), Lucid/Will (200, Arcane Umbra) Kalos/Kaling/Limbo (250, Eternal)
It should be noted that Gloom, VHilla and Darknell also drop Arcane Umbra equipment boxes on the correct difficulties (Check the boss guide within maple guide to check rewards)
Outside of these bossing armors you will find gear usually within the 10 levels before that level, if you fight level 115 mobs, they will drop 120 armor, 121 will drop 130, etc.
These equips stop at 140 and will eventually stop dropping from mobs entirely once you reach far enough into the game (they are beyond useless far before they stop dropping)
It should also be noted that mobs will deal less damage to you as you progress through the game and you should not be investing points into HP for extra survivability.
Any character who puts points into HP (unless your class is Demon Avenger) will have bricked their own damage.
afaik it is very expensive to fix this mistake on Interactive (Reg) and impossible to fix on Heroic (Reboot)
This is a decent guide but I would also add a small warning to this.
If you don't want to work on links/legion until you understand the game better, it's more important that you have fun with the game and only work on these things when you're ready.
You will have to do them later if you want to push for the late/end game bossing, but if you have no desire for that or just don't feel like doing these things there is no pressure to get them done, it's a marathon not a race. Take things at a pace that feels comfortable to you and just try to have some sort of strategy that works for you.
If you're wanting to push your account for harder content Red Raven's writeup is a pretty good strategy for maximizing these things in a short period of time.
Is it okay to level them up to Lv.200 instead of Lv.140? Also, what does wtv stands for?
