====== Soul Ascetic Guide ======

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-04_192757288.png?nolink&600 |}}

Soul Ascetic is the most no-bullshit allowed class — once you reach the peak of your potential, all you do is walk around and press one key.  
Now, the process to get there is full of pain. This guide is designed to cut some of that pain and provide clear instructions on gearing up.

Before I give you any details, I want to go over the topics I **won’t cover**, those being:

  * Leveling
  * Grading and Refining

The reason I won’t cover these two topics is because they’ve already been handled in other guides.  
If you are under **Level 250**, refer to those guides first.

----

===== Stats and Skills =====

Now that you have become a Soul Ascetic and have some stats and 4th Job Skills at your disposal, let’s explain how to use all that power.

==== Stats ====

Considering this class is designed for **magic damage**, you want to get as much **INT** and **DEX** as possible to improve your casting.  
After that, get **VIT** for survivability, **LUK** to help with extra damage and avoiding debuffs, and lastly **STR** for carrying weight.

Here is an example stat spread:

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_082011621.png?nolink&400 |}}

----

==== Traits ====

When it comes to **Traits**, the focus is always **CON** and **SPL**.  
Then, you can split the rest based on what your gear can offer — getting some **WIS** and **STA** is always good.

Here is an example trait spread:

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_081947661.png?nolink&400 |}}

==== Skills Overview ====

Soul Ascetic requires way too many skills, and what you get naturally may not be enough for all the things you want.  
While I will show all the skills I’ve got, I’ll also mention the ones you should focus on.

----

{{:icon:icon_jobs_4046.png?nolink&20|}} **Taekwon Skills** {{:icon:icon_jobs_4046.png?nolink&20|}}

From your **Taekwon Skills**, the most important are:

  * {{:skill:425.png?nolink&20|}} **Mild Wind** — changes your Soul Ascetic skills’ element (flexibility for different monsters).  
  * {{:skill:426.png?nolink&20|}} **Leap** — provides great mobility.

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_080730713.png?nolink&400 |}}

----

{{:icon:icon_jobs_4049.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Linker Skills** {{:icon:icon_jobs_4049.png?nolink&20|}}

Soul Linker skills are kinda weird. I never got to understand them fully — I just know {{:skill:462.png?nolink&20|}} **Kaizel** revives you and your spouse if you marry someone in-game, or any adopted baby class.

Other than that, your bread and butter for leveling this class is **{{:skill:468.png?nolink&20|}} Estun → {{:skill:469.png?nolink&20|}} Esma**.

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_080757419.png?nolink&400 |}}

----

{{:icon:icon_jobs_4240.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Reaper Skills** {{:icon:icon_jobs_4240.png?nolink&20|}}

I hate Soul Reaper — every time I had to level this job, I asked to be leeched. Soul Reaper sucks hard.  
However, the skills we want from here are:

  * {{:skill:2612.png?nolink&20|}} **Kaute** — recover SP by sacrificing HP  
  * **{{:skill:2597.png?nolink&20|}} Shadow, {{:skill:2598.png?nolink&20|}} Falcon, {{:skill:2599.png?nolink&20|}} Fairy, and {{:skill:2596.png?nolink&20|}} Golem Souls** — buffs for you or others  (**Note:** These **don’t work if you have a GTB Card equipped.**)
  * {{:skill:2609.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Collect** — lets you collect Souls, needed for almost all other skills  
  * {{:skill:2600.png?nolink&20|}}**Curse Explosion** — main leveling skill (if you must level manually)

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_080815535.png?nolink&400 |}}

----

{{:icon:icon_jobs_4303.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Ascetic Skills** {{:icon:icon_jobs_4303.png?nolink&20|}}

Here, we want **all the skills** if possible. But to begin with, focus on:

  * {{:skill:5420.png?nolink&20|}} **Talisman of Magician** — buff for more damage  
  * {{:skill:5418.png?nolink&20|}} **Talisman of Protection** — works like Renovatio; restores HP periodically  
  * {{:skill:5423.png?nolink&20|}} **Talisman of Five Elements** — increases damage  
  * {{:skill:5432.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul of Heaven and Earth** — super OP buff that also refills all SP by sacrificing AP

For damage skills, level all the {{:skill:5426.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5427.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5428.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5429.png?nolink&20|}} **animal Talisman skills** and also {{:skill:5430.png?nolink&20|}} **Talisman of Four Bearing God** and {{:skill:5431.png?nolink&20|}} **Circle of Directions and Elementals**.

To maximize your damage:

  * Cast all {{:skill:5426.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5427.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5428.png?nolink&20|}} {{:skill:5429.png?nolink&20|}} **Talismans** from left to right  
  * Then cast {{:skill:5431.png?nolink&20|}} **Circle of Directions and Elementals**  
  * This activates the **Blessing of Four Directions** buff, enhancing {{:skill:5430.png?nolink&20|}} **Talisman of Four Bearing God** (a great AoE skill early on)

**Note:** If you are using **Golden Thief Bug Card**, this buff won’t activate.

{{ :syphon:image_2025-10-05_080838618.png?nolink&400 |}}

====== Gear Set 1 – Grace Set ======
At this point, you should be running the **Grace Set**, so now we want to improve that with some nicer stuff.

^ Slot ^ Item ^ Card ^ Notes ^
| **Headgear (Top)** | +11 {{:items:19195.png?nolink&20|}} **Race Cap** //or// +11 {{:items:19272.png?nolink&20|}} **Garden of Eden** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plaga Card | Race Cap can be enchanted with **INT** via Arina. Garden of Eden is easy to obtain at Riggs and can reach +11 with a refine ticket for **100% Magic Penetration**. |
| **Headgear (Middle)** | {{:items:19181.png?nolink&20|}} **New Wave Sunglasses** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plagarion Card | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Middle Headgear. |
| **Headgear (Low)** | {{:items:420199.png?nolink&20|}} **Ghost Fire** |  | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Low Headgear – Grants **MATK per 18 WIS**. |
| **Armor** | {{:items:450119.png?nolink&20|}} **Grace Curse Robe** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Sandman Card | Necessary for farming your next armor set. |
| **Weapon** | {{:items:550132.png?nolink&20|}} **Dimensions Soul Rod** //or// {{:items:550131.png?nolink&20|}} **Dimensions Soul Stick** //or// {{:items:550094.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Liberator** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Deadsera Card //or//   {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Copo Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated White Knight Card | Dimensions weapons are common and often free. **Soul Liberator** can be crafted at **Weaponrye (@hub)**. **Copo** is easily farmable; **Mutated White Knight** is from **EDDA Challenge** instance. |
| **Shield** | {{:items:460020.png?nolink&20|}} **Mad Bunny** //or// any other shield | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated Khalitzburg //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Golden Thief Bug | Mad Bunny is great early on; no need to upgrade to LT yet. Be cautious with **GTB**, as it blocks some buffs. |
| **Garment** | {{:items:480019.png?nolink&20|}} **Grace Magic Manteau** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Purple Pitaya Card | **Purple Pitaya** is BiS unless you obtain **Himmelmez Card** (very rare and expensive). |
| **Boots** | {{:items:470021.png?nolink&20|}} **Grace Magic Boots** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Icewind Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Nightmare Verit Card | **Icewind** combos with **Copo**. **Nightmare Verit** is excellent for general magic damage. |
| **Accessory (Right)** | {{:items:490020.png?nolink&20|}} **Grace Magic Ring** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Bear Bug Card | **Bear Bug** is BiS for neutral damage, useful when not using elemental attacks. |
| **Accessory (Left)** | {{:items:490206.png?nolink&20|}} **Noblesse Ring** //or// {{:items:28565.png?nolink&20|}} **Perverse Demon Mask** //or// {{:items:490545.png?nolink&20|}} **Overdrive Rampage** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Ash Hopper Card | **Ash Hopper** is BiS. **Perverse Demon Mask** gives early penetration; **Overdrive Rampage** is ultimate BiS. |


With this gear setup, you can go ahead and start doing your **Episode Quests** — aim for **Episode 20**, or find someone who has it done, fake being their friend and ask them to craft stuff for you 😏.  
If you manage either option, start farming for the **Glacier Set**, so you will be farming at:

**Dungeon → Issgard Dungeon → Snake God’s Warmth 2**

Here is what you will need to loot:

===== Required Materials for Glacier Set =====
  * {{:items:1001217.png?nolink&20|}} **Divine Cat Whiskers ×1950**  
  * {{:items:1000812.png?nolink&20|}} **Snow Flower Stone ×600**  
  * {{:items:1000813.png?nolink&20|}} **Shining Snow Flower Heartstone ×150**  
  * {{:items:1000814.png?nolink&20|}} **Brilliant Snow Flower Manastone ×50**  
  * {{:items:1001030.png?nolink&20|}} **Neutralized Magical Source Stone ×125**  
  * {{:items:1001029.png?nolink&20|}} **Encroached Magical Source Stone ×125**

> 💡 **Tip:** Also autoloot the {{:items:1000322.png?nolink&20|}} **Etel Dust** here — it will come in handy later.


===== Crafting the Glacier Set =====
With these materials in hand, go to **Pipiring** inside Ice Castle:

<code>/navi icas_in 165/64</code>

You will need to craft the following armor pieces and apply these **enchants**:

^ Armor Piece ^ Enchant ^
| {{:items:450265.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Robe** | Glacier Flower Meow Power {{:items:312082.png?nolink&20|}} (**SPL & WIS**) / {{:items:312086.png?nolink&20|}} (**Mage**) / {{:items:312089.png?nolink&20|}} (**Grand Mage**) |
| {{:items:450267.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Muffler** | Glacier Flower Meow Power {{:items:312082.png?nolink&20|}} (**Physical Defense**) / {{:items:312086.png?nolink&20|}} (**Caster**) / {{:items:312089.png?nolink&20|}} (**Powerful**) |
| {{:items:450268.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Shoes** | Glacier Flower Meow Power {{:items:312082.png?nolink&20|}} (**Fixed Casting**) / {{:items:312086.png?nolink&20|}} (**Magical Force**) / {{:items:312089.png?nolink&20|}} (**Spell Buster**) |
| {{:items:490330.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Necklace** | Glacier Flower Meow Power {{:items:312082.png?nolink&20|}} (**INT**) / {{:items:312086.png?nolink&20|}} (**Spell**) / {{:items:312089.png?nolink&20|}} (**Magical Power**) |
| {{:items:490329.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Earring** | Glacier Flower Meow Power {{:items:312082.png?nolink&20|}} (**Speed**) / {{:items:312086.png?nolink&20|}} (**Spell**) / {{:items:312089.png?nolink&20|}} (**Magical Power**) |


===== Next Step: Furious Crown =====
Your next farming spot is **Niflheim Dungeon 1** for {{:items:1001075.png?nolink&20|}} **500 Ruby of Grudge**,  
which we will use to craft a {{:items:400629.png?nolink&20|}} **Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic)** – this will be our **temporary and optional Top Headgear** while we farm to buy materials for the {{:items:400530.png?nolink&20|}} **Time Dimensions Crown (TDC)**.

====== Gear Progression Continued ======

After all of this farming, your gear will be looking like this:

^ Slot ^ Item ^ Card ^ Notes ^
| **Headgear (Top)** | {{:items:400629.png?nolink&20|}} **Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic)** //or// {{:items:19272.png?nolink&20|}} **+11 Garden of Eden** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plaga Card | **Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic)** is a great option for this stage; **Garden of Eden** remains a strong alternative. |
| **Headgear (Middle)** | {{:items:19181.png?nolink&20|}} **New Wave Sunglasses** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plagarion Card | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Middle Headgear. |
| **Headgear (Low)** | {{:items:420199.png?nolink&20|}} **Ghost Fire** |  | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Low Headgear – grants **MATK per 18 WIS**. |
| **Armor** | {{:items:450265.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Robe** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Two Eyes Dollocaris Card | Temporary setup. **Sandman Card** is no longer required unless you plan to farm other areas. |
| **Weapon** | {{:items:550132.png?nolink&20|}} **Dimensions Soul Rod** //or// {{:items:550131.png?nolink&20|}} **Dimensions Soul Stick** //or// {{:items:550094.png?nolink&20|}} **Soul Liberator** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Deadsera Card //or//   {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Copo Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated White Knight Card | Same weapon choices as before; **Dimensions weapons** are common and affordable. |
| **Shield** | {{:items:460020.png?nolink&20|}} **Mad Bunny** //or// {{:items:460020.png?nolink&20|}} **Mad Bunny - LT** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated Khalitzburg //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Golden Thief Bug | **Mad Bunny LT** is attainable now; its crafting materials drop in maps you’ll soon access. |
| **Garment** | {{:items:450267.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Muffler** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Purple Pitaya Card | Solid upgrade from **Grace Manteau**. |
| **Boots** | {{:items:450268.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Shoes** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Icewind Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Nightmare Verit Card | **Icewind** synergizes with **Copo**; **Nightmare Verit** boosts general MATK. |
| **Accessory (Right)** | {{:items:490330.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Necklace** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Bear Bug Card | **Bear Bug** remains the best neutral damage card. |
| **Accessory (Left)** | {{:items:490545.png?nolink&20|}} **Overdrive Rampage** //or// {{:items:490329.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Earring** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Ash Hopper Card | **Glacier Earring** provides **extra FCT** if needed. With **+11 Furious Crown** and **enchanted boots**, you’ll have **2 seconds FCT**, which is quite significant. |


===== Shadow Gear =====
Right now, getting **Shadow Gear** is a great idea — and the best part is that you can obtain the **Best in Slot (BiS)** set right now from **Umbra** at **@hub**.

**Recommended Shadow Set:**
  * **{{:items:24989.png?nolink&20|}} Four Bearing God Shadow Armor & {{:items:24990.png?nolink&20|}} Four Bearing God Shadow Shoes**
  * **{{:items:24987.png?nolink&20|}} Talisman of White Black Shadow Earring & {{:items:24988.png?nolink&20|}} Talisman of White Black Shadow Pendant**
  * **{{:items:24792.png?nolink&20|}} Master Shadow Weapon & {{:items:24793.png?nolink&20|}} Master Shadow Shield**

At this point, farming is all you will do, as we want to start **refining and grading**.  
You can find the best farming spots in the **Item Upgrading Guide** on this wiki.

Basically, you want to replace some of your current items and try to get everything to at least **Grade C or B**, so here is what we want to achieve next:

===== Gear Progression Goal =====

^ Slot ^ Item ^ Card ^ Notes ^
| **Headgear (Top)** | +11 {{:items:400629.png?nolink&20|}} **Furious Crown (Soul Ascetic)** //or//  +11 [C] or higher {{:items:400530.png?nolink&20|}} **Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Soul Ascetic)** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plaga Card | Do **not** grade **Furious Crown** — it’s not worth it since you’ll replace it with the **Time Dimensions Rune Crown** eventually. |
| **Headgear (Middle)** | {{:items:19181.png?nolink&20|}} **New Wave Sunglasses** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Plagarion Card | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Middle Headgear. |
| **Headgear (Low)** | {{:items:420199.png?nolink&20|}} **Ghost Fire** |  | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Low Headgear – grants **MATK per 18 WIS**. |
| **Armor** | +11 [C] {{:items:450265.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Robe** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Sealed Drake Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Two Eyes Dollocaris Card | If you can afford it, replace **Dollocaris** with **Sealed Drake Card** (farm {{:items:1001.png?nolink&20|}} **Star Dust** and {{:items:616.png?nolink&20|}} **OCAs** for a chance to obtain it). Otherwise, keep **Dollocaris** for now. |
| **Weapon** | +11 [C] or higher {{:items:550132.png?nolink&20|}} **Dimensions Soul Rod** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Deadsera Card //or//   {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Copo Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated White Knight Card | Continue improving your **Dimensions weapon**; +11 [C] or higher gives a significant boost in performance. |
| **Shield** | +11 [C] or higher {{:items:460020.png?nolink&20|}} **Mad Bunny - LT** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Mutated Khalitzburg //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Golden Thief Bug | Both cards are solid choices — **GTB** provides safety from debuffs but blocks some buffs. |
| **Garment** | +11 [C] {{:items:450267.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Muffler** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Purple Pitaya Card | Remains your best garment choice for MATK and survivability. |
| **Boots** | +11 [C] {{:items:450268.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Shoes** //or// +11 [B] or higher {{:items:470204.png?nolink&20|}}  **Moan of Corruption** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Icewind Card //or// {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Nightmare Verit Card | **Moan of Corruption** is one of the strongest magic boots; aim for **Grade B** to benefit from the extra **FCT reduction**. |
| **Accessory (Right)** | {{:items:490330.png?nolink&20|}} **Glacier Necklace** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Bear Bug Card | **Bear Bug** remains the best neutral damage card. |
| **Accessory (Left)** | {{:items:490545.png?nolink&20|}} **Overdrive Rampage** | {{:items:4128.png?nolink&20|}} Ash Hopper Card | **Ash Hopper** remains the best option for raw MATK |


===== Varmundt Death Rune Farming =====
With this equipment, we can now farm higher-level areas.  
Your next goal is to farm at **Varmundt Death Rune** to obtain materials for **Death Rune Manteau** and **Death Rune Robe**.

These two can be crafted at **@hub** by talking to **NPC Beta**, who is located on the right.  
You will enchant your armor with her and **reroll enchants** using **NPC Alpha**, located right next to Beta.

==== Required Materials ====
  * {{:items:480144.png?nolink&20|}} **Varmundt Rune Pauldron ×1**  
  * {{:items:450199.png?nolink&20|}} **Varmundt Rune Armor ×1**  
  * {{:items:1000643.png?nolink&20|}} **Death Rune ×100**  
  * {{:items:1000103.png?nolink&20|}} **Varmeal Tickets ×600**  
  * {{:items:1001141.png?nolink&20|}} **Death Essence ×100**  
  * {{:items:1000437.png?nolink&20|}} **Armor Upgrade Stone Superior ×300**

> 💡 **Tip:** The **Armor Upgrade Stones** may be harder to obtain, so consider buying them from other players.


===== Post Varmundt Gear =====
Once you’ve obtained and upgraded these armors, your setup should look like this:

^ Slot ^ Item ^ Card ^ Notes ^
| **Headgear (Top)** | +11 [A] or higher **Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Soul Ascetic)** | Plaga Card | Core **endgame headgear** — provides strong scaling for **Soul Ascetic** builds. |
| **Headgear (Middle)** | **New Wave Sunglasses** | Plagarion Card | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Middle Headgear. |
| **Headgear (Low)** | **Ghost Fire** |  | **Best in Slot (BiS)** Low Headgear – grants **MATK per 18 WIS**. |
| **Armor** | +11 [B] **Death Rune Manteau** | Sealed Drake Card //or// Two Eyes Dollocaris Card | Enchant with **Spell of Varmundt Lv3** and **INT +5**. The second slot enchant can be anything. |
| **Weapon** | +11 [A] or higher **Dimensions Soul Rod** | Deadsera Card //or// Copo Card //or// Mutated White Knight Card | Fully upgraded **Dimensions Soul Rod** is your BiS weapon at this stage. |
| **Shield** | +11 [A] or higher **Mad Bunny - LT** | Mutated Khalitzburg //or// Golden Thief Bug | Provides excellent balance between survivability and damage. |
| **Garment** | +11 [B] **Death Rune Manteau** | Purple Pitaya Card | Enchant with **Spell of Varmundt Lv3** and **INT +5**; second slot can be any stat. |
| **Boots** | +11 [A] or higher **Moan of Corruption** | Icewind Card //or// Nightmare Verit Card | **Moan of Corruption** remains one of the best boots for magic builds. |
| **Accessory (Right)** | **Glacier Necklace** | Bear Bug Card | **Bear Bug** continues to be BiS for neutral damage. |
| **Accessory (Left)** | **Overdrive Rampage** | Ash Hopper Card | **Ash Hopper** is still BiS for endgame MATK and penetration. |

Now our next upgrade are going to be related to Constellation Tower, we want to get Nebula of Spell and Star Seal, there are also some place-holder gear that we can use before getting to the Star Seal particularly.

A place holder accessory before  Star Seal is the Temple Rune Ring which you can get from farming on Varmundt Temple which you can get to from the Special Warper, you will need to farm the following items

Varmundt Rune Ring x1
Temple Rune x50
Temple Essence x50
Varmeal Ticket x300
Accessory Upgrade Stone Superior ×300

With this on you can get the Nebula of Spell and Star Seal, I won’t go into the details of how to get it, you can ask around, and I will update this guide once a guide for Constellation Tower is released.

Something that you can do is buy or try to farm some of the materilas to enchant your TD Crown by going to Unknown Blue Hole and doing the daily mission.

Your next gear set will be looking like this:

^ Slot ^ Item ^ Card ^ Notes ^
| **Headgear (Top)** | +11 [A] or higher Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Soul Ascetic) | Plaga Card | Enchants: **Magic Essence Jewel (any level)**, **Time Dimension Jewel (Wisdom)**, and **INT +5**. Can be perfectly enchanted at the **Desired TDC Enchanter NPC** near **Umbra**. |

After you have this gear you are pretty much done, but there are some other gears that I would consider true endgame gear, here are some of them.

=== Costume Enchants ===
^ Slot ^ Enchant 1 ^ Enchant 2 ^ Enchant 3 ^
| **Upper** | AB Upper |  | Magic Power | 
| **Middle** | Soul Reaper Stone | | Magic Power  | 
| **Lower** | Soul Reaper Stone |  | Magic Power |
| **Garment** | AB Stone | AB Stone II | Magic Power |

===== True-Endgame Stuff =====
All the above gear can be self-farmed, but to push your build further, consider:

  * **CoL Autumn Cape & Accessory:**  Great with Nebula Armor; tough to enchant but excellent performance. Only outclassed by *Royal Geffen Cape* (Overdrive Rampage is often stronger though).  
  * **Royal Geffen Cape:**  Replace a weapon card with *Dracula*. If using *Copo*, switch it for *Dracula* and use *Nightmare Verit* on boots.  
  * **Astrologer Boots:** Get with SPL enchants — great combo with Nebula Armor.  
  * **Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe:**  Comparable to Nebula when paired with Chapter 1 boots and accessory.  
  * **Dimensions Boots & Accessory:**  From Chapter 1 content. Hard to get, but outstanding when combined with Engraved Rune Robe.  
  * **Himmelmez Card**  Best card for Neutral-elemental damage (≈20b zeny).
