Been playing KCBT3 and streaming it for awhile now, and a couple viewers asked for some tips/advice for new players.
Hopefully this helps out.
-
Don’t skip the tutorial. The lowest level mobs you’ll encounter early on if you skip the tutorial are level 6. Don’t make the mistake of using your Klaipeda warp item in your inventory to skip the tutorial, as it boosts you all the way to 7.
-
Stamina pills. Early on in the game, you’ll find yourself running out of stamina quite often (especially with the zerg rush of new players leveling in the same area). Buy 10-100 stamina pills asap. You’ll make your money back quite fast.
-
Never buy gear from merchants. They’re almost infinitely cheaper in the auction house, even when the servers completely fresh and new.
-
Upgrade your weapon to +5. Yes it does get quite expensive, but the return value is well worth it, and money comes easy as you progress. Don’t do it to all your weapons, just at every major weapon interval (15/40/etc)
- As an added bonus, try to get gear that has splash or AoE bonuses on them, they usually are crafted, or rare, but you’ll probably find recipes in the auction house for decent prices. They’ll help you level much more easily most of the time (depend on builds ofcourse).
- ATTRIBUTES. Learn them. Some have a timer on them, but some let your learn them immediately. This means you can spam learn ones that have “immediate learn time” on them, and get massive benefits to skills. It does get quite expensive, so everytime you go back to town to repair or anything, buy as many immediate attributes as you can, and then buy one that has a time to learn when your leaving town.
- As an added bonus, you can spam click the attribute you want to level up multiple times, so the “yes or cancel” notification window pops up multiple times, making it easier to just hit yes on all of them after.
-
Repair. If your gear is under 30%, you’ll get notified. REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. Gear breaks very easily and very fast, you don’t want to be stuck with broken gear on a boss fight. Your best bet is to be in map with a goddess statue (unless your with a Dievdirbys), or run to a map with a goddess statue thats further ahead to save your teleport point.
-
Added bonus, you have a stone that teleports you to Klaipeda on a 20 min CD. You can use this to your advantage, every time you have a quest completed that allows you to teleport to a quest npc, use the stone to go to town and repair, then teleport back to the quest. This is more important later when statues become few between maps.
-
Worship every statue. Some give stats, but most give you a teleport point.
-
Talk to every NPC in the field. They have quests, and the early grind is MUCH faster doing quests. The late game grind is your choice.
-
Party up. Seriously, it’s too easy to get into a party with the a party matching system, and it makes life easy. If your strong enough to solo, then by all means go ahead.
-
Explore the map 100%. Don’t leave out a gray area, you’ll boost your adventure journal, and it really doesn’t take time out of your grinding.
-
If you see a glowing mob (assuming that it’s not in Frenzy or debuffed), KILL IT. It’s likely an elite mob with 1000% exp boost/drop boost. You’ll get an insane amount of either exp or loot.
-
Pressing F12 starts an in-game screen record. Record bugs, or anything you’d really like!
