Atlantica Online: G1cannon's FAST Grind Edition 2: TBS 131 Skirmish (for non-uber people)

Hi everyone. In this Edition 2 of FAST GRINDING I wanna share with you how I grind tbs skirmish using an all range party. Here you can see how to grind in TBS 131 skirmish.

This is FAST grinding, fights take just seconds most of the time. I have average armor, i think +4 is the highest (armor) and +0+1 other parts. I have 3 strong mercs (focused on them for TBS missions), which is the main, cannon and rang and all others are semi-naked / dark / freeze / whatever i had. Even before i used the bee gun when i was training the formation.

Most importantly what I am showing you can be done with just regular class D gunners/cannons. The main reason why it works is because of hwarang aura.

The ideal formation was the one i saw on youtube with 7 gunners, rang and princess, but the guy had +10 shotguns and other +10 items so that was uber. Since most of us are not uber, we can just aim in the uber direction. The good news for you is that a completely naked merc can do 2-3k damage just because of rang aura, so keep everyone within 2 squares of rang.

I also want to add that the point is not to replace your main party. The point is to have an efficient grinding formation for the highest reward in the game which is in tbs skirmish. It has the highest exp, workload, rewards than any other place in the game. So this "work horse" formation has only 1 purpose = to grind and sponsor your main formation with which you PvP, etc.

I also adapted - I am cannon main and already had high level cannoneer also as well as a PVE arty. I also wanted to level up my empress. So i used 3 cannons, 2 guns (janis which I already had level 120+), rang, empress, princess and oracle. The oracle I have found to be a must to have for anyone who is not uber. I literally can solo only because of oracle in many fights in TBS 131.
So adapt but try to be as close to the ideal formation as possible because any difference versus ideal reduces your efficiency.

Below I made 3 videos for you, kind of my best examples of my fast TBS 131 grinding. It does not always go as good as here. Other times 1-2 other mobs join in and it takes longer + oracle res. And some rare times i do die, which is totally ok in tbs skirmish because you dont lose anything - you actually gain for whatever you did manage to kill.

Lastly, once you become expert at this you will realize it matters exactly where in the formation each merc stands (cannons front) and if you are cannon heavy like me it makes sense to select cross formation mobs to attack (immediately 5 get hit) and also you may realize it matters a lot which merc is after which mercs in the order so to make you fight faster.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon's House Items Craft List: EDITION 4

Hey everyone, in this post I am sharing with you my own list for house items (furniture and decorations and floors) which require various materials from the house facilities as well as other items to manufacture.

The craft requirements and costs I have in a separate Excel sheet and here I only extract the total cost of crafting these items which you can see in the cost columns. Of course the prices which are behind each item are of my server's (DE) present prices (October 2010).

A lot of work has gone to make this list that I am just handing to you - hope its appreciated. Enjoy.

Please take into account level 5 hammer cost of 100k which I did not incorporate in the list, not to distort things.

Most likely you will not see the full picture, so click on the picture then zoom in!
If u find mistakes mail me (not whisper!) ingame or leave a comment here. Thanks.
