+===== Paradise Gear =====
+{{:image_2025-10-02_103417483.png?nolink&400|}}
+After you've got some zeny you can go to **@hub** and find Arina, she will sell you a nice starting gear that you can use through your first 150 levels.
+==== Paradise Set ====
+You can get as early as lvl 10 if you got the zeny, it consists of a set of armor and a weapon for your class, it can be either magic or physical.
+Something interesting about this set is that it can be upgraded once you reach lvl 100, and it can give you an amazing boost to your damage output and survivability, Advanced Paradise Set needs to be crafting by farming Elastic Band (7200) which is dropped by the Wootan Shooters at Umbala Field 3, and Blue Hair (1034) dropped by Kobolds at Rachel Field 5.
+==== Race Cap ====
+This one is also part of Arina's Shop, you can start wearing it as early as level 100, it boosts some of your 3rd job skills, and can be refined using the refinement box from the same shop, and enchanted through Arina by purchasing the Mysterious Medal.
+==== Extra Freebies ====
+Gives you a pair of Middle and Low headgear that can help with boosting your damage early on.
+==== Advanced Paradise Shadow ====
+Similar to the Race Cap you can get a set of Advanced Paradise Shadow Armor, this is generic and applies to every class, but the benefits come from the Shadow Weapon you can get for your class, it is a nice combo that will help you a lot early on.

+===== Grace Gear =====
+This is a very nice set of gear that you can start using as soon as you hit lvl 150, this combination of gear will stay with you for quite some time, and is the first step into actual grinding.
+To get started visit **@go 38** and walk toward the Grace Operator here:
+{{:image_2025-10-02_104639022.png?nolink&400|}}
+<code>/navi sp_cor 136/156</code>
+He will have two different sets of gear that you would need to review to find which one suits your needs better, and the great thing about this set is that you can refine it to +9 by using the Grace Refine Tickets he sell you.
+**Cor Core** (25723).
+Here is the navi command to find Special Security Area Os where u will farm for the materials. <code>/navi sp_os 260/357</code>

 ===== Gear Progress Guide =====
-^ {{:icons:gear.png?nolink&40}} ⚙️ **Equipment Stage** ^ 🔍 **Where / How to Obtain** ^
+====== Farm, Refine, Grade, Repeat... ======
-| **Paradise Equipment** | Basic starter gear from the Paradise NPC. |
-| **Grace Equipment**    | Mid-tier set; found via certain NPCs or dropped in mid-tier dungeons. |
+You’ve worked your way up leveling, and now you may be scratching your head wondering what to do next. Here are some tips on what to focus on now.
-| **Riggs Gear**         | Check/farm from **Riggs** (Prontera 146, 166) if available. |
-| **Temporal Boots**     | Hunt in **Old Glast Heim**; versatile boots for most builds. |
+===== Zeny =====
-| **BIO 5 Headgear**     | Acquire in **Bio Laboratory 5**; upgrade for big stat boosts. |
+Zeny is your best friend from now on.
-| **Weapon Upgrades**    | - Illusion Dungeons\\ - Einbech Dungeon 03\\ - EDDA Biolabs |
+It will help you:
-| **Soutanes / Dragon Armors** | Farm from **Odin Past** or **Abyss 04**; can use set bonuses. |
+  * Skip progression stages (buy items in market or via **#trade**).
-| **Temporal Manteau / Insignia** | Obtain in **EDDA Fall of Glast Heim**; pairs well with Temporal Boots. |
+  * Grade and refine your gear.
-| **Refine & Zeny**      | Gather refining materials & zeny to improve gear. |
-| **Level 200+ Dungeons**| Pursue endgame gear once you’re prepared. |
+**Main sources of Zeny:**
+  * **Stone of Sage (ID: 12040)** → Farm at **Thanatos Tower 7** or **Odin Past**.
+  * As you approach endgame:
+    * Farm **Unknown Blue Hole** for Treasure Chests.
+    * Sell popular items other players buy in bulk.
+===== Weapons =====
+At this stage you are still using your **Lvl 100 Weapon** from the Paradise NPC. Time to consider upgrades:
+  * **Buy**: Dimensions Weapon for your job (available in **@vend** or **#trade**).
+    → Outclasses most other weapons even without enchants.
+  * **Farm**: Good or Evil Weapons from NPCs at **@hub** (top left side of the map).
+    * **Good/Evil Weapon mats** farmed at **Thanatos Tower 11–12**.
+    * Choose based on your build → read descriptions to match with your skills.
+===== Armor =====
+No direct upgrade for armor yet (most locked behind episode progression).
+However, you can farm:
+  * **Good/Evil Crown**
+  * **Good/Evil Boots**
+→ Nice placeholders until stronger options unlock.
+===== Grading and Refining =====
+This will be your long-term grind. Get familiar with the materials:
+**Core Materials**
+  * **Etel Dust** → Used to craft:
+    * **Etherdeocon** & **Etherium** (refine items for high-end gear).
+    * **Etel Stones** (combined with gemstones → Etel versions for grading).
+  * **Enriched Ores** & **HD Ores** → Needed along with Etel for refining.
+**Farming Spots**
+  * **Amicitia Lab 2** → Drops Etel Dust + Enriched Ores.
+  * **Mjolnir Underground Tunnel** → Good for farming HD Ores.
+⚠️ At this stage farming may be tough depending on your gear/job. Don’t worry too much—you can always buy the materials from **@vend** or **#trade**.
+====== Riggs ======
+Riggs is an NPC located on the far left of **@hub**.
+He looks like a cowboy, and here you will find some gear that you will stick with for a long time. Let’s break it down.
+{{:image_2025-10-02_095239946.png?nolink&400|}}
+===== Shadowdecon and Zelunium =====
+These are the materials Riggs asks for to craft your gear.
+  * They are cheap at **@vend** and **#trade** because they are very common at later stages.
+  * However, since Zeny is short at this point:
+    * Start **autolooting** them when you farm in **Odin Past**.
+    * You can also **farm directly** at **Rudus Dungeon 4**.
+===== General Use Gear =====
+These items can be used by **any job**, regardless of physical or magical.
+  * {{:items:420199.png?20|}} **Ghost Fire** → Must buy for every class (except Comet builds).
