ᴜɴʟᴏᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴍᴇʀᴄᴇɴᴀʀʏ

Before starting this quest, we'll want to make sure we have 4 empty inventory slots and 83 gold. Once we have those, we'll be heading to Swan Lake Basin 374 439 and purchase the qualification weapons from the Mercenary Association Leader. To pass the test, we must lower the durability of these weapons to 99 or less. Simply equip them and kill things with it. Give the weapons back to the ɴᴘᴄ to become a fully pledged mercenary!

ɴᴏᴛᴀʙʟᴇ sᴋɪʟʟs

ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ sʜɪᴇʟᴅ
Often forgotten, equipping a shield on support classes can be very helpful. It also pairs well with a wand or a saber.

🤺 Attack speed

With this build, we'll find ourselves as the main source of dps in a duo. Using attack speed on any physical jobs is also a very easy method to solo level. Near level 45, if buffs are still running out before cooldown time, we can add a few points into agility.

ᴄᴏᴍʙᴀᴛ

Our routine will vary based on the skills we've brought from other jobs, but the main concept remains unchanged: self-buff, debuff enemy, click enemy as fast as possible. Repeat. With this build, it's very important to keep our self-buffs active at all times. This ensures our damage output is as efficient as possible.

sᴋɪʟʟs

ʙᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ-ʙʟᴏᴄᴋᴇʀ
Self-buff. Increase p.defense (req. shield)

ʙʀᴏɴᴢᴇ sɪɴᴇᴡ, ɪʀᴏɴ ʙᴏɴᴇ

🛡️ Tank

The Tank job requires a party of 4+ members in order to be functional and benefit from adequate ᴇxᴘ gain. Our role consists of taking and holding aggro from teammates while they kill everything.

Tank buffs are sorted into two categories and only one from each type can be activated at the same time:

• Defense category - Circle formation, dustpan, snake
• Attack category - Arrow formation, crane, goose

ᴄᴏᴍʙᴀᴛ

In an ideal party, we'll start by receiving buffs from our doctor and musician while waiting for the puller to gather monsters. When the puller comes back with a mob, we'll cast [ᴄɪʀᴄʟᴇ ꜰᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ] to keep everyone safe, and then take the aggro with [ᴍᴏᴄᴋ ᴍᴏɴsᴛᴇʀs] and [ᴡɪᴄᴋᴇᴅ ᴡɪɴᴅᴍɪʟʟ].

ᴡɪᴄᴋᴇᴅ ᴡɪɴᴅᴍɪʟʟ

sɴᴀᴋᴇ ꜰᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ
Increase attack speed and defense (Use if duo partner is using attack speed build and requires more speed)

◌ Gear

Armor - Heavy armor
* Always wear armor of appropriate level. Sadly, not all leveling areas have an ɴᴘᴄ to repair armor and sometimes taking a break is difficult, we suggest keeping on hand an extra 2 or 3 sets of armor.

Weapons - Spear
* If we have the chance, we recommend investing in a Holy Golden Spear at level 60. This is the only one-handed spear in the entire game, so we can use shield at the same time! The Holy Golden Spear can be earned for free by completing the main Mirror Quest; or purchased from the cash shop.

🪓 Axe

Axe mercenaries are great tanks who can solo handle mobs with ease; making them a good choice for pet leveling.

🪓 Axe (choosing a pet)

There are a couple things to consider when choosing a pet for leveling purposes: mainly, their damage output and attack type. Certain pets perform better at ᴀᴏᴇs than others, while some prefer to buff their owner rather than fighting.

In theory, it means that if we are fighting a monster who has water element:
• using earth will cause more dmg than usual
• using fire will cause less dmg usual
• using water is neutral

[Metsushiro]

Oooh! I'm not too sure on that... but I think we could find out by turning on the input/output damage message in the settings (CTRL+N). Then compare the damage taken.

You're welcome! It's actually been a while since i played... so long my guild is probably non-existant by now XD

[PsychoBehaviour]

I was asking more along the lines of like, does block negate the damage, or reduce the damage? so like if i were to get hit with 100 physical damage, when block triggers, do i receive 50 dmg instead or i dont receive the 100 all together. Numbers are there just for ease of example XD, also does it work for magical attacks.

Thanks for replying, lol dont even know if you are still playing the game or not, since i noticed the starting areas are like pretty dead haha

[Metsushiro]

Hiya! Sadly there is no button / hotkey for blocking. It kinda just happens randomly... However there are ways to increase your block rate; like adding attribute points into Physique and some skills have block rate bonuses (better-blocker from mercenary for exammple).

There might be some onyx or potions that can give bonuses too, but it's been a while since I looked at those, so not 100% sure.

[PsychoBehaviour]

how does the block mechanic work in DOMO ? been trying to look it up but to no avail

[yurival]

haha ok then

[Metsushiro]

You're welcome CYE!
Glad you found the npc xD I highly recommend domo.wikia.com if you ever find yourself stuck. It's been my go-to since the Aeria days

[yurival]

nice guide it helps me, i have trouble finding the mercenary leader guy tho, but i found him 32 minutes later.
