Pentao's LaTale Dagger Explorer Guide

[Koh89]

There is only 4 dagger masteries(novice) when the max lvl is 5 idk if it is supposed to be like that or it's just a mistake, it just got me a little confused

[Jokerz]

I give this guide my "This is my first post and I want it to be on a great guide" seal of approval.

lol did it sound too much like I thought Hybrid was the best?

What about weapon usage during the early levels or so ?

Privaring --> Hyunmu I'm assuming.

What's after if so.

While yes, the Privaring Dagger helps for damage, it's not THAT helpful. Hyun Mu Dagger however is.

If you want to follow uniques, it'd go something like...

Privaring Dagger -> Hyun Mu Dagger -> Sphinx Dagger -> Shadow Ninja Dagger -> Winter Dagger -> Valkyrie Dagger.

To be honest, I prefer the style and looks of the normal weapons but that's just me. You can always buy a dagger from the NPC if you so need.

I just realized,I change weapons more often then I change fashions.But the 6 skill combo really helps out my new melee life style.

I might change to dagger again for a little bit, do you have any recommended training areas for early 5x Pentao? :S Going hybrid dagger that is, well considering it, but it'll most likely be the case.

(Not sure if I want to waste the 400k to reset, but I want to try it out again and give it a shot :P)

Back when I was in my early 5X, I toughed it out on Canine Gods due to the content. However, now you could probably go out and do Desert/Pyramid Quests. Should you actually need to grind, Vampanellas or Victors seem good, but I can't say for sure.

[Teleclast]

Aha! I've completely neglected that area. I've been doing Elfa quests, but they're kinda lol. Liquids hate giving up cubes, and berserks take forever and a day for me to kill.

Thanks though, I'll try it out as an xbow first, and then go check it out if I decide to swap sides. I finally have enough money to play around with, so I gotta check it out.

Pentao,where did you train at level 63.I'm thinking The ghost ship but I die when 5 zombie crew start mobbing me

[Authentic]

I was about to switch to a hybrid dagger too until I found out it's about 400-500k to do so. xD

This looks fun, and the guide was great.

63... 63... well, in release I had to tough it out on Spriggans, but I highly suggest Zombie Crew, which is where I leveled in Open Beta. Go in a party if you must, but Zombie Crew is just really good exp. If you have trouble taking mobs, Phantom Pirate Ship 2 has smaller groups of them.

[ZeR]

at the entrance there's a small mob of 2 zombies.

If you go abit deeper into a few maps you can find groups of 2 pirates.

I'm sure with a sheild you can just pot off the damage, something my bowman can't do *cries*

[boredboy]

I have a question about the Expert Mastery... I noticed when you crit, it adds like a little amount of damage, is this set?

[Authentic]

It adds 15 damage per level with every crit you land [150 extra damage when Expert Mastery is maxed].

[boredboy]

Isn't that kinda useless afterwards @_@?

Level 10 = 150 bonus damage per critical. If you're melee, you're looking at, at least,

150 + 300 + 600 + 600 = 1650 damage lost, which is quite a big difference.

[boredboy]

o_o where'd you get 300+600+600 from

[Authentic]

^ The amount of hits all the melee skills do

1 hit + 2 hits + 4 hits + 4 hits = a possible 1650 extra damage if all hits were criticals.
