Introduction
I'm making this guide to help beginners navigate from the early game to the endgame. This guide will not cover all gear options, especially those I deem wasteful, as acquiring such gear wouldn’t significantly improve farming efficiency in the areas I'll be mentioning.
This guide focuses on Biolo, starting with the Mayhemic Thorns build. I may add more builds in the future.
Big thanks to Sagii and Kosetsu for the help with the guide!
Why play Biolo?
Play what ever you think is fun. You may or may not like Biolo gameplay so I would list down some pros and cons
So why play Biolo?
- Has free Guyak from Cart Boost and a massive weight capacity, making farming easier and more efficient.
- Can create potions and food that provide stat buffs.
- Generally easy to gear, and its equipment can be shared with other crit-build jobs.
- It is a good farmer, even in the latest dungeons.
- Has a homunculus that provides buffs and helps with tanking.
- One of the best instances farmers.
So why not play Biolo?
- The damage of Biolo cannot compete with other magic-class jobs or some physical-class jobs in the late game.
- Some skills require a consumable to be used.
- Not magic
- Magic classes dominates the end game dungeons.

Situational Skills
Mayhemic Way
This section will focus purely on the Mayhemic Thorns build.
ExplainingMayhemic Thorns
Mayhemic Thorns is our main damaging skill. It has a 0.7s cooldown with a 0.5s Fixed Cast time. Each cast can also recover 2 AP.
Fixing our Cast Times
Our best way of fixing our cast time early on is from our Eden Gear,
Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) . This reduces our FCT by 0.5s. Please see Eden Group for beginner eden gears. The next one that can is not that cheap to buy but is the best thing to get is
Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) . This reduces our FCT by 0.5s with by having a level 5 Sword Training skill.
Next is our cast time. We can reduce the cast time by stats alone. I do recommend going for as high as you can with dex and int for beginners. You can also utilize the free buffs that you can get from Eden Group such as
Almighty (12883) .
BuffingMayhemic Thorns
Research Report buffs your Mayhemic Thorns significantly. Mayhemic damage drops a lot without it, so try to keep this active at all times. If you die, spam Mayhemic Thorns to reactivate it. Prioritize getting this up first before Hell Tree if you happen to die.
Next is
Hell Tree, which summons a tree that provides a buff increasing Mayhemic Thorns' damage. However, it consumes 3x
Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) , which can be expensive for beginners. I usually save this for harder content, like MVPs in instances.
Critical Requirement
Next is Critical (Cri), which determines your chance to deal critical damage. Having 100 Cri means you have a 100% chance to land critical hits. Critical is very important because Mayhemic Thorns can crit!
Early on, you can stay at 100 Cri, but later, mobs gain Critical Shield, which reduces your chance to land critical hits by the amount of their Critical Shield. (Use @mobinfo or @mi to check a mob’s Critical Shield.)
The formula is: Cri - Critical Shield = True Cri.
For example, if you have 100 Cri and you're fighting a Grote (Nif2) with 32 Critical Shield, your true critical chance is 100 - 32 = 68. This means you need 132 Cri to maintain a 100% crit chance against that mob. You can use
Abrasive (12458) if you wish to temporarily increase your cri.
Stats and Traits
Stats
- STR: This is multiplied with your Weapon ATK increasing your damage.
- AGI: Increases your attack speed but we don't really need that much attack speed unless you're in a high density map.
- VIT: Gives us defensives stats and having it at 92(?) would give us stun immunity
- INT: Provides the second-highest reduction in Variable casting time. Useful for faster cast times.
- DEX: Primary stats for range damages. Increases our hit chance and the highest reduction in Variable Casting Time.
- LUK: This scales with C.rate and gives us CRIT for a higher chance to do critical damage. Increase this if you need more Crit so you can try and hit 100.
Traits
- POW: Has the biggest boost towards our damage. Have this high.
- STA: Provides Res.
- WIS: Provides MRes.
- CON: Provides P.Atk but the damage is underwhelming and you can get it from your gears (also provides flee).
- CRT: Our main way of getting C.rate. I usually have this maxed.
| Stats | Allocation | Traits | Allocation |
|---|---|---|---|
| STR | 110 | POW | 110 |
| AGI | 3 | STA | 0 |
| VIT | 90 | WIS | 32 |
| INT | 100 | CON | 40 |
| DEX | 130 | CRT | 110 |
| LUK | 106 |
(Note that you can go 0 on STA and WIS and put all in CON)
(Also note that the sample stat allocation is what I use for easy way to reach insta-cast. You may change it as you please)
Gear Progression
This is the beginning of your journey. Take it slow or fast. Just have fun and enjoy the journey! Also, you shouldn't rush to the late game, as your farming efficiency improves with the new gear you acquire, making it much easier to earn Zeny. For Leveling guide please see Spike's Leveling & Cart Cannon Guide to level up to 200. After getting to level 200, prioritize getting gears that you can get while also leveling your character to 250 to let you use any gears on this list.
Before we start, I highly recommend reading Madame Celery's Guide or Lily's Biolo Research Report to learn more about the gear progression as I would only be prioritizing gears that I believe would be good for Biolos with the current update. If you an alternative gears then I highly recommend checking Lily's guide.
Beginner
Gears
Not much to say here other than to use equipment from either Eden Group or Episode 17.1. You do not need to worry about getting cards here but if you want a cheap one then you could use
Observation Card (4392) and
Empathize Card (300270) combo. Try to use this until you can get the gears in the next section.
| Slot | Gear | Where to get |
|---|---|---|
| UpperHeadgear | Advanced Paradise Luxury Cap (400139) | Eden |
| MidHeadgear | Sealed Chain [1] (410094) | Nilfheim 2 |
| LowerHeadgear | Bondage Necklace (420076) | Nilfheim 2 |
| Armor | Grace Cart Cannon Suit [1] (450100) | Ep17.1 |
| Weapon | Paradise Genetic Mace (590028) | Eden |
| Shield | —– | |
| Garment | Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018) | Ep17.1 |
| Shoes | Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) | Ep17.1 |
| Accessories | Grace Attack Ring [1] (490019) Advanced Paradise Ring (490126) | Ep17.1 Eden |
Where to farm Zeny
These are some good farming spots that I know and have proven to be effective. A quick tip: use @storeall and @getall for storage, and always use a
[Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) . Bring
[Bound] Kafra Card (23177) ,
Almighty (12883) , and
Small Mana Potion (23203) , which you can buy from the Eden vending machine for quality-of-life improvements.
| Location | Note |
|---|---|
| Gefenia | A really good way for beginners to farm raw Zeny. Just make sure to bring [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) and an empty storage for more efficient farming sessions. |
| Istana | You farm Elunium (985) and Rough Oridecon (756) here which will overweight you so bring [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) . You can turn Rough Oridecon (756) into Oridecon (984) at @go 50. Everything will be either vended or be used by you. |
Early Game
Now that you have gained some zeny, you can now move to the early game gears. These gears are pretty good and would increase your damage.
Some of the Eden and Grace gears are still good such as the
Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) as it gives 0.5 Fixed Cast Time that
Mayhemic Thorns needs. Replacing
Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) with
Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) requires you to either get +11 for both
Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) and
Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) to get the FCT or use
Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) with
Sword Training at level 5. For Shadow gears, just use the Advanced Paradise Shadow Gears that you get from Eden.

|
2x Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) | |||
+11 Dim Glacier Armor [1] (450270) |
You can usually find this for cheap price or free due to people running The immortal instance that can drop this. This can still be used up to midgame. | ||
+11 Gaebolg Armor [1] (450350) |
Better than Dim Glacier set by 20%. Get this for cheap price. Grade/Enchant if you wish to but I don't recommend enchanting or grading this since Nebula is better at that point.
| ||
| Weapon | +9 Glacier Mace (590038) |
Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448) or Glacier Flower Spell (Physical-Element) (311352) |

+11 Dim Glacier Manteau [1] (480283) |
You can usually find this for cheap price or free due to people running The immortal instance that can drop this. This can still be used up to midgame. | ||
+11 Gaebolg Manteau [1] (480415) |
Combos with Gaebolg Boots [1] (470260) . Just like the Armor, get this for cheap.
| ||
| Shoes | +11 Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) |
2x Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) |
Synergizes with Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) so do not use this unless you got both parts at +11 or you have Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) .

|
2x Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) | |||
+11 Dim Glacier Boots [1] (470197) |
You can usually find this for cheap price or free due to people running The immortal instance that can drop this. This can still be used up to midgame but might require you to +12 this for Piloted Midrange Rgan Card (300380) or just +12 your drop rate boots. | ||
+11 Gaebolg Boots [1] (470260) |
Combos with Gaebolg Armor [1] (450350) . Your best boots. Needs Grade B for the FCT reduction so I recommend using Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) for now.
| ||
| Accessories | Sinful Ruby Ring [1] (490044) Sinful Ruby Necklace [1] (490045) |
Resentment Lv5 (310211) /Any |
You honestly do not need to enchant these but if you can then try. |
Brilliant Light Ruby Ring [1] (490056) Brilliant Light Ruby Necklace [1] (490057) |
Shelter Lv5 (310231) / Any |
Good for farming demons in Niflheim 2 |
Good Farming Places
Dungeons that you should be able to gain zeny from with the current early game gears including the ones from beginner section. Always keep
Shadowdecon Ore (25728) ,
Shadowdecon (25729) ,
Zelunium Ore (25730) ,
Zelunium (25731) , and
Etel Dust (1000322) when farming as they can be sold or used for crafting.
Also see Increase item drop gears guide to increase your zeny farming rate. Poring Family Balloons,
Poring Sunglasses (19117) , and
Angel Poring Boots [1] (22101) is a good start. If you're planning to do Doping farming, don't forget to use
Red Lantern [1] (2976) in both accessory slots to help reduce alcohol consumption.
Rudus 4 and Niflheim 1 now drops Equipments boxes. They can be opened, but I suggest opening some to vend and selling the rest.
| Location | Note | Cri Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Rudus 4 | Good raw zeny from Rudus Equipment Box (41076) . Open them for Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) , CD in Mouth (420003) , Battle Processor [1] (410017) , and Magical Booster [1] (19241) for vending. |
117 |
| Thanatos F9 - F12 | Auto-loot all and bring Guyak Pudding (12710) at F12 unless you can manage the slow de-buff from mobs (You can remove the slow de-buff with cart boost but you have to reapply the cart boost again which can be annoying). Keep Fragment of Agony (7436) , Fragment of Misery (7437) , Fragment of Hatred (7438) , and Fragment of Despair (7439) for daily hunts for free Forgotten Heirloom (50001) which can drop Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) . The other fragments (ex: Fragment of Resentment (1000245) ) are also for Piece of Sin (1000257) and Fragment of Good Will (1000263) which can be sold to other players or used by you. |
115 |
| Niflheim 1 | Raw zeny from Niflheim Equipment Box (41080) . Open them for Sealed Chain [1] (410094) and Bondage Necklace (420076) to earn some Zeny through vending. They also drop Gan Ceann Card (300240) , which can be vended as well. |
121 |
| Oz Dungeon 2 | Drops Amethyst Fragment (1000405) which can be sold in vending. Good money to be honest but make sure to check the price! |
126 |
| Old Glast Heim Normal/Hard | Can auto-loot all or just auto-loot Coagulated Spell (6608) , Contaminated Magic (6755) , Elunium (985) , and Temporal Crystal (6607) for vending. 10 minutes per run after unlocking fast mode. Do not forget to talk to the NPCs after killing each boss as they give rewards and unlocks the secret room. |
100 |
| Gefenia Doping | A good way to earn money if you can do it with the buffs that is listed by LuckNut's guide. Does not really need to change your gears but if you can't do it with buffs then try swapping some gears. | |
| Thanatos F7 Doping | Same zeny rate as Gefenia doping but you have to go back to town every time you clear the entire floor. You have to be solo in this floor or else the zeny rate would be worse than normal farming in gefenia. | |
| Istana Cave Doping | One of the best way to get those Elunium (985) and Rough Oridecon (756) . this is the best way to earn zeny early on. |
Mid Game
This section will talk about gears that you can temporary use and also gears that you would use for end game. These can be expensive to buy or craft so buckle up! Some early game gears are still used but enchanted.
NOTE: I highly recommend checking the End game gears first before getting any of these stuff as you may be able to skip some of them.
SECOND NOTE: PLEASE READ EVERYTHING ON THIS SECTION. I put which one you should prioritize first inside the notes
Gears
| Slot | Gear | Enchants | Notes
|
|---|---|---|---|
| UpperHeadgear | +10~+11 Temporal Circlet (Genetic) [1] (19477) |
Acute Lv4 (29084) |
You can honestly just go for Acute 4 and be done with it. No need to get perfect enchants. |
Temporal Jewel (LUK) Lv 3 (29689) | |||
LUK+4 (4753) or any
| |||
| MidHeadgear | Sealed Chain [1] (410094) |
Combo with Bondage Necklace (420076)
| |
| LowerHeadgear | Bondage Necklace (420076) |
Combo with Sealed Chain [1] (410094)
| |
| Armor | +11C Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172) |
Star Cluster of Creative Lv.3 (310685) |
You can stay with the last armor but if you want an upgrade then this is it since this will be your end game armor. Use Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) for more damage or use Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) if you want to share this armor to other crit jobs
|
Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) or Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) | |||
DEX+4 (4723) | |||
| Weapon | +12A Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) |
No need to enchant this yet | (PRIORITIZE THIS!!!) Another big damage boost and is your end game weapon. Use Dimensions Weapon Refinement Device (102668) to refine it from +9~+10 to +11. DO NOT USE BLACKSMITH'S BLESSING
|
+12A Dim Glacier Mace [1] (590047) |
Glacier Flower Spell (Physical Grade) Lv5 (311453) |
ONLY BUY DIM GLACIER IF YOU CAN FIND A CHEAP ONE. This is much more expensive to craft than a +12A Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) so I suggest only buying this if it's 100M or so
| |
Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448) | |||
Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448) | |||
| Shield | +9C Glacier Guard [1] (460040) |
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) (312095) |
You can stay with the last shield but if you want an upgrade then this is it. It is very cheap to make and can be your end game shield. |
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Physical Resistance) (312092) or Glacier Flower Meow Power (Magical Resistance) (312093) | |||
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Attack) (312091) | |||
| Garment | +9~+11C Pirate Captain's Coat [1] (480174) |
Can be crafted in Equipment Crafting. This is quite cheap to make and can serve you for a long time until you get your HoL garment.
| |
| Shoes | +11B~+12A Gaebolg Boots [1] (470260) |
Forest Magic Orb (Lucky Strike) (313098) or Forest Magic Orb (Firing Shot) (313097) |
The best boots for now. Try to get it enchanted and at +12A before reforming into Yorscalp Boots [1] (470303) . I like having HP% enchant on my boots
|
Forest Magic Orb (Size Attack) (313094) | |||
Forest Magic Orb (HP) (313090)
| |||
| Accessories | Sinful Ruby Ring [1] (490044) Sinful Ruby Necklace [1] (490045) |
Resentment Lv5 (310211) /Any |
Enchant this for better damage! |
Brilliant Light Ruby Ring [1] (490056) Brilliant Light Ruby Necklace [1] (490057) |
Shelter Lv5 (310231) / Any |
Good for farming demons in Niflheim 2 |
Shadow Gears
BIG TIP: If you want to buy MVP drops for crafting shadow gears, try comparing vendors prices vs @wn command (npc shops) to see which one is cheaper since npc shop usually sells it for 150k ea
| Shadow Gear | Note |
|---|---|
+9 Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) and +9 Full Penetration Shadow Shoes (24664) |
PRIORITIZE GETTING THIS. It will let you ignore 100% of monster's defence making it easy to farm in harder dungeons such as Niflheim 2. I suggest getting the armor and shoes combo so you have slots for almighty shadow gear set |
+9 Full Penetration Shadow Earring (24661) and +9 Full Penetration Shadow Pendant (24662) | |
+10 Infinity Shadow Weapon (24386) OR +10 Infinity Shadow Shield (24733) |
Use this if you're using Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) already. It nullifies weapon damage penalty resulting from monster's size. I suggest using the weapon type.
|
+9 Creative Shadow Weapon (24761) and +9 Creative Shadow Shield (24762) |
Cheap shadow gears but good. Can be used while you're working on your gears for easy damage boost |
+10 Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) and +10 Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340) |
This gives +20 stats which is pretty nice. I prefer getting this to reach instant cast and for extra Cri. It deals less damage than Max Mammoth. |
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes (24680) and +10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor (24679) |
Really nice damage boost but not a priority at this stage. |
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Earring (24681) and +10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Pendant (24682) | |
+10 Mega Blitz Shadow Shield (24767) |
Good C.rate |
Priority List
If you don't know where to start, try following this!
| Gear | Note |
|---|---|
| Costume Stones | Please see Biolo's usable Costume stones for what you can use |
| +12A Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) | Biggest Damage boost that you can get early on and cheaper than the rest of the gears. |
| +9 Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) and +9 Full Penetration Shadow Shoes (24664) | Would really give you the boost that you need for harder content |
| +9C Pirate Captain's Coat [1] (480174) | Easy to get with good damage |
| The rest of Shadow gears | I suggest getting the Almighty combo, Infinity Weapon, and Mega Blitz Shield |
| +9C Glacier Guard [1] (460040) | You can stay with the last shield but this is honestly really good. |
| The rest of the gears | At this stage, you're already on the way to end game gears |
Mid Game Farming
As always keep
Shadowdecon Ore (25728) ,
Shadowdecon (25729) ,
Zelunium Ore (25730) ,
Zelunium (25731) , and
Etel Dust (1000322) for vending or your own use. Having +12A
Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) and a Full set of +9
Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) shadow gear is enough to farm here. Everything will overweight you here so bring a
Kafra Card (12211) or
Kafra Storage Bell (23648) (Cash Shop). I also added the cri you need to hit critical damage 100% of the time!
Just like in early-game farming, Nilfheim and Amicitia now drop equipment boxes. Open them to vend some of the items and sell the rest.
| Location | Note | Cri Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Amicitia 2 | Auto-loot all then sell Amicitia Equipment Box (41078) for raw zeny. Open them for Feather In Mouth (420030) , and Victory Wing Ears [1] (400002) for vending. |
148 |
| Niflheim 2 | Auto-loot all then sell Niflheim Equipment Box (41080) for raw zeny. Drops Sealed Chain [1] (410094) , Bondage Necklace (420076) , and Bloody Branch (12103) for vending. |
140 |
| Clock Tower Unknown Basement | Auto-loot all for raw zeny. Ectoplasmic Stone (1001073) , Oridecon (984) , Old Card Album (616) , and Elunium (985) for vending or own use. Take the quest for some good exp! |
145 |
| Mjolnir Underground Cave | Auto-loot all. Bloody Branch (12103) , Aferde Card (300447) , and Timbers Card (300449) for vending. |
151 |
Pre End Game
These is something that I would suggest getting first before getting into the very end game where enchanting is the last thing you're doing. NOTE: If you do not want to create Hall of Life gears with nebula armors then please check Lily's Biolo Research Report for the Biosphere gears as you can use them for end game dungeons.
Priority goes from Upper Headgear > Armor > Garment == Accessories > Shield > Shoes. Do get Weapon enchants first if you wish to farm in biosphere B
Gears
| Slot | Gear | Enchants | Notes
|
|---|---|---|---|
| UpperHeadgear | +11~+12A Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Biolo) [1] (400532) |
Prioritize getting this over any gears here. Even a clean +11~+12A can out-dps the old headgear.
| |
| MidHeadgear | Can stay with the last gear | ||
| LowerHeadgear | Can stay with the last gear | ||
| Armor | +11~+12A Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172) |
Star Cluster of Creative Lv.3 (310685) |
Best armor in the game and synergizes with Hall of Life Gears |
Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) or Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) | |||
DEX+4 (4723) | |||
| Weapon | +12A Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) |
Enchants are based on what you need (EX: Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311934) / Varmundt's Crystal (Poison) Lv3 (312800) for Temple and Forgotten zone) |
Best weapon and combos with Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Biolo) [1] (400532) to reduce Mayhemic Thorns cooldown
|
| Shield | +11C Glacier Guard [1] (460040) |
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) (312095) |
Use Glacier Guard [1] (460040) for cheaper and more defensive option. Use Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) for more offensive option and extra Cri. In my opinion, Mad Bunny is not really worth the price, as the damage difference between both shields is minimal but if you can get one for cheap price then it is good.
|
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Physical Resistance) (312092) or Glacier Flower Meow Power (Magical Resistance) (312093) | |||
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Attack) (312091) | |||
+12A Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) |
Ranged Lv.3 (310869) | ||
| Garment | +11~+12A Circulation of Life Winter [1] (480352) |
The best garment that we can get right now and can be very expensive if enchanted. This may not beat +12A PCC but this is the end game garment. | |
| Shoes | +12A Yorscalp Boots [1] (470303) |
Forest Magic Orb (Lucky Strike) (313098) or Forest Magic Orb (Firing Shot) (313097) |
The best boots for now. You can get this at really cheap price. Good upgrade. |
Forest Magic Orb (Size Attack) (313094) | |||
Forest Magic Orb (HP) (313090)
| |||
| Accessories | Creative Signet of Star [1] (490135) |
Star Cluster of Luck Lv4 (313032) |
Best Accessories we can get so far. Try and get Circulation of Life Winter [1] (480352) at +11~+12 first. Prioritize getting signet of creative to level 3 then you can start enchanting your garment.

End Game
Now, onto the late game. This gear is the most expensive you'll ever need, but it essentially completes your Biolo. If you made a Biolo just for farming, you don’t need to create the gear listed. However, if you want to farm in areas like Biosphere 2 (Temple) or Forgotten Zone, you’ll need this gear to farm efficiently. Take it slow when progressing to the endgame.
NOTE: If you do not want to create Hall of Life gears with nebula armors then please check Lily's Biolo Research Report for the Biosphere gears as you can use them for end game dungeons.
Gears
| Slot | Gear | Enchants | Notes
|
|---|---|---|---|
| UpperHeadgear | +11~+12A Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Biolo) [1] (400532) |
Acute Jewel Lv5 (312753) |
Prioritize getting this over any gears here. Even a clean +11~+12A can out-dps the old headgear. |
Time Dimension Jewel (Luck) Lv3 (312712) | |||
Any stats | |||
| MidHeadgear | Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) |
Long Range Physical Damage / Long Range Physical damage |
Best option and combos with Ace of Diamonds in Mouth (Ranged Physical) (420220) |
| LowerHeadgear | Ace of Diamonds in Mouth (Ranged Physical) (420220) |
Dex / Long Range Physical Damage |
Combo with Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) . |
| Armor | +11~+12A Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172) |
Star Cluster of Creative Lv.3 (310685) |
Best armor in the game and synergizes with Hall of Life Gears |
Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) or Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) | |||
DEX+4 (4723) | |||
| Weapon | +12A Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) |
Enchants are based on what you need (EX: Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311934) / Varmundt's Crystal (Poison) Lv3 (312800) for Temple and Forgotten zone) |
Best weapon and combos with Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Biolo) [1] (400532) to reduce Mayhemic Thorns cooldown
|
| Shield | +11C Glacier Guard [1] (460040) |
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) (312095) |
Use Glacier Guard [1] (460040) for cheaper and more defensive option. Use Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) for more offensive option and extra Cri. In my opinion, Mad Bunny is not really worth the price, as the damage difference between both shields is minimal but if you can get one for cheap price then it is good.
|
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Physical Resistance) (312092) or Glacier Flower Meow Power (Magical Resistance) (312093) | |||
Glacier Flower Meow Power (Attack) (312091) | |||
+12A Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) |
Ranged Lv.3 (310869) | ||
| Garment | +11~+12A Circulation of Life Winter [1] (480352) |
Life of Winter (Creative) (313023) |
The best garment that we can get right now and very expensive. Prioritize the 2nd slot enchant as it gives the most damage and can upgrade the last 2 after upgrading your other gears. |
Physical Fruit Lv20 (312538) | |||
Physical Flower Lv5 (312513) | |||
| Shoes | +12A Yorscalp Boots [1] (470303) |
Forest Magic Orb (Lucky Strike) (313098) or Forest Magic Orb (Firing Shot) (313097) |
The best boots for now. Gives so much HP |

Shadow Gears
Prioritize C.rate enchants with either Range Damage or Crit
| Shadow Gear | Note |
|---|---|
+10 Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) and +10 Full Penetration Shadow Shoes (24664) |
It will let you ignore 100% of monster's defence. I suggest getting the armor and shoes combo |
+10 Full Penetration Shadow Earring (24661) and +10 Full Penetration Shadow Pendant (24662) | |
+10 Infinity Shadow Weapon (24386) OR +10 Infinity Shadow Shield (24733) |
It nullifies weapon damage penalty resulting from monster's size. I suggest getting the weapon type |
+10 Perfect Size Shadow Weapon (24425) |
In case you already have Mistress Egg (9193) .
|
+10 Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) and +10 Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340) |
+20 stats is good. Deals less damage than Maximum Mammoth |
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes (24680) and +10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor (24679) |
Best one to get and gets better if you can get any Bio 5 MvP Card to reach insta-cast easily with good damage. |
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Earring (24681) and +10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Pendant (24682) | |
+10 Mega Blitz Shadow Shield (24767) |
Good C.rate and best shield |
Late Game Farming
You can honestly just farm anywhere you'd like but I recommend these ones!
| Location | Note |
|---|---|
| Biosphere Temple | Mobs drop a lot of Shadowdecon (25729) and Zelunium (25731) so this is probably the best way to earn zeny. |
| Forgotten Time | The hardest field/dungeon farming but can be the best depending on the market price. |
| Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode Instance | Takes you multiple days to max the difficulty level but very much worth it once you it maxed. Takes like 5 minutes to clear. Before the boss spawns, you would see who you're going to fight so use Cursed Water (12020) if you're against Phantom of Himmelmez (20572) and use Level 5 Aspersio Scroll (12217) against Phantom of Amdarais (20573) Drops Sealed Temporal Circlet (25864) , Temporal Gemstone (25865) , Temporal Spell (25866) , and Temporal Fragment (25867) |

Usable Cards
| Slot | Cards | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Headgear | Abysmal King Dramoh Card (300150) |
Combos with Abysmal Merman Card (300144) The cheap option for damage boost |
Limacina Card (300363) |
Best option that can combo with Hearthunter AT Card (300381) | |
| Armor | Encroached Dimik Card (300646) |
Combos with Fireloop Card (300637) and gives ALOT of Range Damage. Best combo to use as of now! |
Anger Nine Tail Card (27082) |
Use if you lack Cri. | |
Hearthunter AT Card (300381) |
Combos with Limacina Card (300363) . | |
Two Eyes Dollocaris (300376) |
Requires a +12 armor. Makes you tanky with some atk % | |
Yordos Executor Card (300523) |
A better Anger Nine Tail Card (27082) but requires a +11 armor | |
Yoscopus Guardian Card (300524) |
Combos with Yoster Negotiator Card (300517) but it will lower your Crit. While it is 9% better (DPS) than Fireloop Card (300637) , this combo would decrease your crit by a minimum of -30. I would rank this second for the best armor - garment combo due to this and I would not recommend this for early game players. | |
Observation Card (4392) |
Combos with Empathize Card (300270) and gives a ton of Range damage. | |
| Weapon | White Knight Card (4608) / Polluted Wander Man Card (27361) |
Best combo to use for Medium and Large race if you are still using Khalitzburg Knight Card (4609) . |
2x Polluted Wander Man Card (27361) |
Best for Medium and Large if you're already using Elite Rgan Guardian Card (300465) | |
2x Copo Card (300455) |
For increasing damage against Small and Medium races | |
2x Brutal Murderer Card (300241) |
Against Medium size monsters | |
2x Gan Ceann Card (300240) |
For increasing damage against Large Race | |
| Shield | Khalitzburg Knight Card (4609) |
Good defensive card and can combo with White Knight Card (4608) . |
Elite Rgan Guardian Card (300465) |
Best card to use if you got enough Cri as this decreases your luk by 25 but it needs to be placed in a +10 shield. | |
| Shoes | Abysmal Merman Card (300144) |
Combos with Abysmal King Dramoh Card (300150) |
Piloted Midrange Rgan Card (300380) |
You need +12 Shoes to use this. | |

Galensis Card (300261) |
If you need more Cri. Note that you need to reach 125 luk for maximum gain. | |
Fireloop Card (300637) |
Gives atleast 32% Range Damage (without the combo) and Resistance Property. Really good card and the best one if you combo it | |
Crux Findel Card (300426) |
Alternative that increases Range Damage. | |
Yoster Negotiator Card (300517) |
Good range damage card that sacrifice your Crit for more damage. Second best. | |
| Accessories | Timbers Card (300449) - Aferde Card (300447) |
Good Range damage. |
Midrange Rgan Card (300368) - Lowest Rgan Card (300366) |
Use this combo if you need more Cri. | |
2x Void Mimic Card (300278) |
Use this if you happen to have more range damage than critical damage. | |
Snow Rabbit Iceslug Card (300468) - Aferde Card (300447) |
1% better than Timbers Card (300449) - Aferde Card (300447) combo but requires you to not have 90+ luk or you have to suffer -15 crit | |
Scabiosa Card (300651) - Anemone Card (300654) |
Another option if you require Crit, Crit Damage, and range damage. |

Here's a good guide for brewing! Saurusama's Brewing Guide
Reaching Insta-Cast
Our only way of reaching insta-cast is by stats alone so I'll be showing ways to reach that 530 stats thresh-hold. First of all Variable Casting Time reduction can be calculated with 1)/530)*100. An example is having 90 int with 130 dex, 90+(130*2)= 350 then divide it by 530 giving us 0.66 multiplied by 100 is equals to 66%. This means with just those stats alone we can reduce our Variable Casting time by 66% and we want to reach 100% for insta-cast!
Please visit Choi's Guide To Magic to learn more about Variable casting, Fixed cast time and attack speed!
I decided to not add Midgame and Endgame as its basically easier to reach insta-cast at that stage
| The Cheap way | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This is the cheapest way of reaching insta-cast but with these gears, you could farm Mid-game farming spots albeit you have Full Penetration shadow gear and +12A Weapon. Note that we will be using consumables for this but it will be very cheap. | Origin | Dex | Int | Notes | +11 Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) with 2x Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) | 14 | +11 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) with 2x Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) | 14 | +11 Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) with 2x Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) | 14 | Almighty (12883) | 10 | 10 | Can be bought in Eden | Stats | 130 | 95 | Best way to get to 530/530 | Job Bonus | 8 | 12 | Genetic Job Bonus stats | Arc Ward Clan | 1 | 1 | Join Arc Ward Clain in @go main | Level 10 Blessing Scroll (12215) | 10 | 10 | Can be bought in Eden Blessing Scroll Box (10) (12913) (Think of it as your own Improve Concentration) | Total: | 201 | 128 | Total of 530/530 giving us insta-cast!! very cheap amirite |
Reaching Nif2 Fast
Some of the Easiest way to get to Nif2 Dungeon (The best Zeny Dungeon as of December 07, 2025).
You should be able to oneshot everything in nif2 with these gears. Almost everything is required so check the notes. Will add more once I tested more stuff. Big thanks to @Heppu for letting me know this!
Last note: Just get all the cards that gives you Crit (140) to reach enough for nif2. Just DM or Ping me on discord if you have suggestion

Notes
WIP PLEASE TELL ME SOME IF YOU GOT SOME
Tips and Tricks
Some stuff that I've learned while playing Biolo (If you got more then don't hesitate to ask me)
- You can use Illusion Doping for ET and OGH Normal mode for fast instances.
- Higher MDef would prevent Decrease Agi debuff in Buwaya cave if you're doing that instance so use
Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) - You can use Alt+Right click to make your homunculus walk in that cell. Great in Lake of Fire luring.
- Use
Harvester Hat [1] (5902) while farming for easy
Blood Sucker Plant Seed (6211) ,
Thorn Plant Seed (6210) , and
Bomb Mushroom Spore (6212) . (Equipment Crafting)
Questions
- Do you recommend Biolo?
As a field farmer for beginners, yes—but mages just dominate endgame farming man.
- Why does it look similar to Lily's guide?
I started my Biolo journey with her guide, so huge shoutout to her! However, it has been a while since it was last updated. I used most of the gear she recommended from early to mid-game, including the Dim Glacier Mace, Gray Wolf gear, Snow Flower gear, and Critical costume stones. They are good, but honestly, not necessary for progression.
- Why make the guide?
So people would not do the same mistake that I did and maybe help those Biolos on discord hehe (i also want the cute costume and got inspired by choi). Big sorry if I made any mistake :> This is my first time making guides in any games I've played
- Why not go dim glacier?
Sadly it has been power-crept by Dimensional weapons. I've tested it and +12A Dim glacier fully enchanted does do more damage against +12A Dimensional but the difference is barely noticeable and getting your Grade A tdrc makes dim glacier less powerful.
Future Plans
- New Shadow Gears testing
