Atlantica Online: Grinding Aztec Spiders - Good idea?

For high level players (110+) it is always a curious question where to grind. I tried today going for the Aztec Spiders on autobattle (90% of the time) and I was shocked at the loot I got (was expecting far more) so I thought to share this with everyone so you don't fall into the same mistake.

Update: the spiders are VERY weak versus magic so any AOE team should find it fun here (+ this is why they easy to scroll). Also they are VERY resistant to bows.

Atlantica Online: Everything about fishing

Fishing in Atlantica Online is a love it or hate it activity. However, following the latest fishing event more people have taken up fishing.

Basics in short:
To try fishing you need a rod and bait and fishing skill (in My Info > Expressions) corresponding to the rod and bait. Once you have this you can go to the only place in AO for fishing -> Hanai Island. To start fishing either right click your rod or click the shortcut V. The fish you collect you hand in to Albert NPC @ Hanai Island who gives you fishing points which you can spend at Pointry NPC @ Rome Bazaar.

And now introducing Everything Fishing:

Atlantica Online: Princess, Cannoneer and bombing campaign

Bombing campaign is a special combo attack made using princess and the cannoneer. It is very useful in various parts of the game which is why I recommend everyone to have these 2 mercs at least in the merc room if not in the main party.

Separately princess heals all ranged mercs, gives them defense and has skills to block or reduce damage of enemy ranged mercs.

The cannoneer is a cannon merc who can cast smoke bomb. This is a skill which reduces accuracy of all enemy mercs so quite often when they attack your mercs will just dodge.

On top of the above, these 2 mercs combine to produce the devastating bombing campaign. You can see an example and further explanation of it on the below picture story I have prepared for you:

Atlantica Online: Ornate Treasure Chests & Chances ::: Edition 1

a.k.a. How to make money - 400k+ every 5 minutes

Hi everyone, so this post teaches about using ornate treasure chests for making money or getting what you need. Ornate Treasure chest maps can be gotten from the market or from old treasure boxes (market is easiest). Their price ranges on my server between 20k and 60k per map.

It is very much nice to have a teleport licence to use this method however with transport it is also possible, but this reduces the profit a lot unless you are more lucky to find the special items.

You open the map by right clicking on it which will show you where in the AO world is the treasure chest. You must go to that location within 5 minutes and attack the treasure chest to get the item from it. Below you can see what items you can get from it and how frequent.

I will keep updating this over time to have more sample so it is more accurate the data. Feel free to send me accurate information if you want to help either by posting here or by mailing me in the game.
