- I. Version History -----------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Version 1.0 March 25, 2004 (03/25/04)
This is the very first version of my new guide.
This is as well the prototype, expect lots of typos.
This guide is dedicated to the Monk Job and the battle-Acolytes.
Version 1.2 March 30, 2004 (03/30/04)
Posted the guide in all sites I can. I finished the whole guide
in this version, also corrected some parts of this. but errors cannot be
avoided. Please e-mail me if you find some and if you want to add some
information. BTW, Monk class only ranked 2 in iRO's Survey. No.1 being
Crusaders and No.3 the Rogues. I am planning to make a Rogue guide.
Version 1.3 April 9, 2004 (04/09/04)
Checked all the builds using the AndzRO (Private Server) since this
is the closest to the real thing. (I don�t play in iRO and any other
servers that has 2-2 Jobs.) But sadly the Monk's skills won't work in
the said private server. ASPD Potions don't work either. If you're
asking why my job bonuses is different from rodatazone's data well,
I got my bonuses from the private server. The server is a copy of
KRO and is already patched with JUNO. Sorry to say but I don't quite
trust all the data that rodatazone gives (as for 2-2 Jobs) so have a habit
of checking other sites as well because as of now not all data is
100% accurate so mistakes will happen. ^_^ peace!
Another guide update will be due next week. So watch out.
Version 1.4 April 10, 2004 (04/10/04)
Added the 2 new builds submitted in.
Version 1.5 April 11, 2004 (04/11/04)
Easter Sunday! just added another Stat and skill build by
Ky Kiske.
Version 1.6 April 14, 2004 (04/14/04)
Added the Acolyte builds section. Sorry for not posting it!
Thanks Ong Teck Jim <[email protected]>
Version 1.7 April 15, 2004 (04/15/04)
Added some new builds.
Version 1.8 April 18, 2004 (04/18/04)
Fixed correction.
Version 1.9 April 26, 2004 (04/26/04)
Added submitted builds, both skill and stat builds.
In other news... Nowadays, in Byalan I see many BA there
leveling. In the past you "Rarely" see one in the dungeon
but now I see many BA's. Before, I see almost no BA's in
the dungeon bit now I see 3 BA's everyday!
I removed the stats distribution section of the stats
build.
Version 2.0 April 29, 2004 (04/29/04)
Added some builds and corrected corrections
Special thanks to:
Ricardo Elder Segovia Inostroza" <[email protected]>
For correcting on Gunardi's build and also mods it a little.
There something wrong with gamefaqs nowadays, if you can't
access this guide through gamefaqs, just e-mail me and I'll forward you
the latest version of this guide.
Version 2.1 May 4, 2004 (05/04/04)
Updated the Flee chart. (Thanks to Kula)
As of now I will not update much until all data about 2-2 stabilizes
because as of now there's not much correct data. I'm taking my words
back. rodatazone is still the best site if you want one stop
RO facts. They still have the most data than other RO sites.
Just keep on checking their site on new infos about 2-2 Jobs.
I will change the Jbonuses by next month, maybe by that time
data about 2-2 jobs will be stable.
I added some new parts of the guide to make this more in-depth.
Version 2.2 May 4, 2004 (05/07/04)
Added a build by Adi Soegiarto ([email protected])
His build is WoE Oriented and maybe will be the one
of the "in-demand" soon. His build can act as a recon
character since it can stand alone (can neutralize almost all
2-1 Jobs and maybe 2-2 also).
Version 2.3 May 12, 2004 (05/12/04)
I added the WoE and MVP guide.
Well those parts is not as good as the MVP and WoE here
in gamefaqs but I think somehow those infos will help
you in your game play.
Version 2.4 May 15, 2004 (05/15/04)
Modified the guide and added some info from RO~Universe.
Purged the Asura Stat Build. Developed a Combo-Asura Monk
Skills build.
Added new builds and a How to be a monk section submitted by
"Louise Stevens Cabarles" <[email protected]>
Version 2.5 May 23, 2004 (05/23/04)
Modified the MVP weapons due.
Well not actually modified but I put some notes because of the Fist.
Corrected some "Submissions" but he took it from someone's Monk Guide.
I Credited the OWNER of the said data and can be purged from this guide
anytime soon. (If the owner wants to delete it from this guide.)
Version 2.6 May 25, 2004 (05/25/04)
I purged the PvP/GvG Monk Guide that was submitted in.
I'll just put a link to that site.
Modified some of the WoE Monk part.
I added a little guide on buying equips since most people ignore these
things (many is in pRO and I hate those people especially the - � Ninja � -
Or the "JERKS Guild".)
Version 2.7 May 27, 2004 (05/27/04)
Added a submission by "Carlo Mendez" <[email protected]>
On VIT and PvP/WoE Monk.
Version 2.8 May 31, 2004 (05/27/04)
I forgot what I updated.. GRR
because I updated this guide about 2 days ago and because life's
busy. I forgot what I updated... Sorry X_X
Version 2.9 June 7, 2004 (06/07/04)
Minor update since there are no submissions.
And no new data regarding monks.
Version 3.0 July 21, 2004 (07/21/04)
Major Update! (wala lang!)
I will be implementing a new policy for submissions,
if your submission is not posted then... maybe I rejected it.
Sorry for not correcting/updating this guide due to some
personal problems.
Version 3.1 October 27, 2004 (10/27/04)
After what it seems like forever, finally I have updated the monk guide
First up, I have put in the submitted builds etc. Sorry for not
replying your e-mails to me. Sorry sorry.
Since it seems like admira's out maybe I'll fill in his shoes for a moment.
Juno has arrived at our shores (pRO) as a Pioneer monk and as I see
may people is still misguided by rumor. Damn why don't they use guides.
Version 3.2 October 28, 2004 (10/28/04)
Minor Update. Nothing New.
Version 3.3 November , 2004 (11/0 /04)
Birthday update! It's my birthday oooo yeah!!!!!!!!
Added the decimal equivalent of the attack bonuses given by the skills
for easy understanding.

- II. Introduction -------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
The following information found in this guide is mostly based on my
experience in playing in pRO (Philippines) version of Ragnarok Online,
playing in private servers (ya, I know it's illegal and all...)
and reading other FAQs/guides on gamefaqs and some of my theories &
observations.
__________________________________________________________________________
- III. Ragnarok Online ---------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Ragnarok Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
made by Gravity and was inspired by Lee-Myoungin's Manhwa "Ragnarok".
The game is highly addictive due to its many factors (too many to mention)
and lets you interact with many other players in your country or
all over the world.
People would say, "Once you come in... You'll never get out"
Well that's how addictive RO is. (For us gamers)
__________________________________________________________________________
- IV. Battle - Acolyte: Soldiers of Hope ---------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Battle-Acolytes are some of the most ignored type of builds. Some people
even don't know how strong Acolytes can be. They only see Acolytes as the
Support Class and just watch battles and does not participate in the
frontline battle. But the Battle-Acolytes can, yes we're selfish of our
abilities because we need them to support ourselves to be true
Battle-Acolytes. Being A Battle-Acolyte is really hard in the beginning
but as soon as you get your stats high you can feel the ease.
I strongly recommend that you make a Battle-Acolyte after you have raised
enough funds to support them. In my case I bought myself a
+6 VVS Wind Chain to support my Avatar to level. I sticked to one place
and that is Byalan, that's why I bought a Wind elem. Weapon.
I will only be focusing on a pre-Monk Acolyte. If you got tired of waiting
for the 2-2 Jobs to come and switched into a Battle-Priest I strongly
recommend that you use Mad Monarch Gyl's Guide for stats build and admira's
Priest guide for the skills.
__________________________________________________________________________
- V. Stats essential for Battle-Acolytes ---------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
This part shows the different stats in Ragnarok. There are 6 stats that
affect the Battle-Acolyte (B.A. from here on) in big ways. Be careful in
fixing your stats since once you put them they are unchangeable.
Strength (STR)============================================================
One of the most important stat for the B.A. since it affects how
much damage you can dish out. It affects your minimum and maximum damage
too. It also affects your weight capacity so you can carry all that
equipments (Support equips, battle equips and some rations too.)
Strenght is very vital if your'e going for Guillontine/Asura Strike.
10 STR: +1 Min/Max Damage
20 STR: +4 Min/Max Damage
30 STR: +5 Min/Max Damage
40 STR: +8 Min/Max Damage
50 STR: +10 Min/Max Damage
60 STR: +12 Min/Max Damage
70 STR: +13 Min/Max Damage
80 STR: +15 Min/Max Damage
90 STR: +17 Min/Max Damage
100 STR: +19 Min/Max Damage
The bonus add up in such a way that once you reach that certain amount of
strength the pluses add to your Min/Max damage. It means that when you
have 60 STR you have a +41 Min/Max damage bonus.
This is how it works (STR + Weapon Attack + Bonus + Weapon upgrade)
Vitality (VIT)============================================================
Vital Monks will be great due they will be a WoE class but it is better
that you put a little AGI in your build. And is not ment to be maxed to 99.
90 is good enough.
Agility (AGI)=============================================================
The partner of Vitality in making a defensive character.
But Agility is more than that, 1 Agi is equivalent to +1 Flee and
also adds to your ASPD. Higher ASPD means Faster Killing time.
Agility is very Vital to B.A.'s and Monks. Changed my PoV.
You don't need to actually "MAX" your AGI out since as Akemi said,
"Flee cannot be your defense." Now I know why Sins sucks.
(Rogue may face this too.)
Too much AGI and no VIT can make your avatar frail like onion paper.
Too much VIT and no AGI can make your avatar slow (ASPD wise).
Well this applies to Monk.
Dexterity (DEX)===========================================================
This stat raises your accuracy and your maximum/minimum damage.
+1 Dex means +1 Hit same as the Agi-Flee but this stat
counteracts that. The standard DEX is 40.
Dex also has a small influence in ASPD.
Intelligence (INT)========================================================
Being a B.A., you do not need much INT in your stat. I put about 25 INT in
my build because Monks will have a +5 INT bonus at Jlvl50.
INT will take part in your healing skill, MSP and your SP's regen rate.
Asura monks will be needing more than 25 INT.
I'm against those people who thinks 1 INT is enough for B.A. they rely
too much on support. For me that's TRASH!
Luck (LUK)================================================================
This stat is very useful for those who are going for the Crit Monk.
Luck affects your avatar by:
Crit Chance: every 3 LUK = +1 Critical
Perfect Dodge: Every 10 LUK = +1 Dodge (that's the +x in your flee.)
If you want a real Crit Character, I recommend that you raise your
LUK to 60+ and equip a Triple/Quad Crit Waghnak or so..
But really.. Crits are only for assassin because Katar Class weapons
have double Crit rating. As for Monks, Critical Explosion/Fury will help us.
Note: 100% Crit char will have a weaker crit damage output but higher
crit rating.
__________________________________________________________________________
- VI. How to get there ---------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
[Acolyte]-----------------------------------------------------------------
You start out as a Novice (of course!) I require you to go through the test
in the Midgard Academy and take the hell out of those annoying Fabres.
In the Fabre Forest take the time to level. Level up there until you are
satisfied of your Blvl, then take the exam. Much better if they will
recommend the Acolyte job for you (like what happend to me) there's a
little plus in this, but I prefer that they require you the swordie job so
you can get yourself a red potion for free.
As you step in the world of Midgard try to level up as soon as you can.
Much better if someone will tank you. After you reached the Jlvl 10 of
Novice. Proceed to the Prontera Sanctuary, it's in the 2 o'clock position.
Go inside and proceed to the first room at your right, register and take the
painstaking walk. There are 3 NPC which will be randomly selected for you.
Father Rubalkara: Prontera ->E->N->E (Yoyo Forest, North eastern corner)
Father Yosuke: Prontera W->N->W
(He is staying in an island between two small bridges)
Mother Mathilda: Morroc ->N (She's in a small ruin in the extreme NW corner)
After talking to those NPC you will be saved in their position so you got to
walk again (Bad Luck for you if you're in Morroc and have no Zeny XD)
Congratulations! You're an Acolyte! Now go and level up!
o------------o
|JOB BONUSES:|
o------------o
These do not add up like min/max damage. It works like this. Once you reach
that job level that is how much stat bonuses you get. If you are at job
level 42 you get +4 Vitality not all of the other job bonuses added up.

[Monk]--------------------------------------------------------------------
How to change into a Monk: (www.ragnarokonline.com)
The place to change your job to the Monk Class is located in the
NE Prontera fields (Yoyo Forest, it's the ruins or St. Capitolina Pt.
aka as the Monk Monastery). If you report information of yourself to
the old man, job class change is possible. The monk job change test
consists of a memory and physical test which is to be taken at the
specified location. One will be able to change the job class into Monk,
once the testing is finished.
You must be at least Job Level 40 to change jobs.
In-Depth: How to change to a Monk.
[The Acolyte Life]
Please do not be lazy and train till level 50 Job. It will be hell to
train if you change at Job 40. Job 50 grants a free 50 Atk, 3Slotted Knuckle
which currently cannot be bought or dropped by normal monsters currently.
Currently most cookie builds have 10 Agility and 10 Bless.
Do NOT max Heal. Please do NOT max that's nonsense, you will NOT have
enough skill points to distribute to your other skills.
Leave heal at last prority. (In his PoV, but I recommend that you get atleast
Lv1-3 Heal to support your leveling.)
Other than the 10 Agi/10 Bless Cookie build, there are those that are more
adventurous going the pneuma way because of Agility Up and Bless
can be provided by a Full-Support Priest.
(I go solo so I need those AGI/BLESS, It is important also because some
support priest are biased and sometimes will not Buff you.)
[Changing into a Monk:]
(From Akemi's iRO Monk Guide at RO-world)
(you guys should really see her guide.)
Upon reaching 50 Job, head into the monk temple which
can be found at Prontera's One East, One North, Two East or Yoyo Forest.
1) There's an old guy near the entrance (guarding monk, can't miss him),
talk to him and request to be a monk.
2) Go to the bottom right and into the temple. Inside the temple,
the elder will ask you to find certain items to bring back to him.
His name should be Sensei Moohae. (Pastor)
*Update* You DO have to take this quest if you are job 50.
There's 7 different sets of items each set with 3 items each.
Here's the list:
Set 1 : 5 Sticky Mucus, 10 Earthworm Peelings, 20 Green Herbs
Set 2 : 20 Yoyo Tails, 5 Iron Ores, 3 Blue Herbs
Set 3 : 30 Stems, 5 Jellopies, 10 Worm Peelings
Set 4 : 5 Solid Shells, 20 Shells, 5 Zargons
Set 5 : 5 Cyfars, 10 White Herbs, 10 Yellow Herbs
Set 6 : 10 Teeth of Bat, 5 Bear's Footskins, 20 Poison Spores
Set 7 : 20 Cobwebs, 5 Porcupine Quills, 10 Bug Legs
Source: http://forums.nitro7.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13009
3) After obtaining the requested items, exchange the items with Sensei Moohae.
Exit the temple and head directly north from the temple. A female monk there
will give you some text to recite. I recommend that you take down notes on
whatever she will be telling to you.
4) After completing the text recitation portion of the quest,
head to the south-west area of your map and a monk NPC there will give you
two quests to choose from.
a) A mushroom quest very simular to the thief's quest,
except 70-80 points are needed.
(Orange Net Mushroom = 3pts, Orange Gooey Mushroom = 1pt)
b) A marathon quest in which you run 10 laps around a map filled with holes.
Based on people who have taken the test already, most monks suggest you take
the mushroom quest over the marathon quest. But it's really up to you which
quest you do.
You can switch to either quest by talking to the NPC again if you've already
started on the other. After completing the quest, talk to the same NPC again
and he'll give you a green potion.
5) Now go to the building in the center of the map, there's a female monk
near the entrance so you can't miss it. Now go to the depths of the
building and talk to the huge NPC Monk. take the test. The test's
objective is to cross the room. Easy eh? but no there are many hidden
walls that blocks the path that makes it difficult and frustrating too.
6) After doing the test get the Green potion and drink it before Sensei Moohae
then pass the oath taking and no you're a monk!

NOTE:
This is not the same as the Thief's Inc. Dodge. This one adds by points
not by percentage anyway, it is vital for us.
This skill must not be lower than Lv5.
[Triple Attack/Raging Trifecta Blow]======================================
Deliver 3 blows by a low chance. After use, the caster cannot move for a
short period, if `Raging Quadruple Blow` is used in conjunction with this
skill, movement will be delayed even longer.
DEX and AGI reduce the delay time.
Passive Skill
Requires: Level 5 Dodge
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 29% Chance to Triple Blow 120% ATK - (ATK x 1.2)
2 28% Chance to Triple Blow 140% ATK - (ATK x 1.4)
3 27% Chance to Triple Blow 160% ATK - (ATK x 1.6)
4 26% Chance to Triple Blow 180% ATK - (ATK x 1.8)
5 25% Chance to Triple Blow 200% ATK - (ATK x 2)

9 21% Chance to Triple Blow 280% ATK - (ATK x 2.8)
10 20% Chance to Triple Blow 300% ATK - (ATK x 3)
NOTE:
This is the starting skill of the Combo attacks. It works like double
damage At Lv5. REALLY it works just like double damage.
Example: (SKILL AT LV.5)
Your normal damage ranges to 300-350. Your Triple damage will probably
range between 600-700. It's not really triple damage. It's 3 hits
that will deal double damage of your normal attack damage.
Situation:
My average damage to Sohee is 316, after the Triple Blows triggered
the Triple Blow dealt 632 damage by having 3 hits of 210 (rounded off).
So the formula is somewhat like this (simplified).
Normal Damage X 2 /3 = damage per hit of Triple Blow.
So multiply the damage per hit by 3 to know the total damage of the
Triple Blow.
The formula applies to Lv10 also. Divide the maximum damage of the Skill
to ghet its damage per hit.
[Call Spirits/Summon Spirit Sphere]======================================
Summon spirit spheres. One spirit sphere lasts 10 minutes.
Certain Monk skills require spirit spheres. This spell cannot be interrupted.
3 second casting time. DEX affects on the casting time.
Summon 1 SS per cast.
Active Skill
Consumes 8 SP.
Requires: Level 2 Iron Hand
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 Summon up to 1 SS 8
2 Summon up to 2 SS 8
3 Summon up to 3 SS 8
4 Summon up to 4 SS 8
5 Summon up to 5 SS 8
*Spirit Spheres works like Star Crumbs!
1 Spirit Sphere adds 3 damage to ypur weapon so having 5 Spirits
will grant you 15 additional damage and that's equivalent to one
Very Very Very Strong ______ Weapon! And also works like one.
If you miss you'll have a 15 damagae instead of MISS.
NOTE:
This one is the BASIC LIFE SUPPORT of the Monk. This skill creates spirit
sphere that are needed by some skills of the Monk's.
Without this you are pretty much worthless...
[Absorb Spirits/Spiritual Sphere Absorbtion]===============================
Restores 10 SP by absorbing one spirit sphere. Has a 2 second casting delay,
this skill cannot be interrupted. Consumes 5 SP. When used against another
Monk in PVP, it will cause their Spirit Spheres to vanish and drain SP
from them to recover yours.
Active Skill
Requires: Level 5 Call Spirits
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 Absorb 1 Sphere 5
NOTE:
Use this as a MANA burn in PVP (against monks that is.) and use to recover
precious SP. Also use this as a emergency SP reserve by absorbing unused
Spirit Spheres.
[Chain Combo/Raging Quadruple Blow]=======================================
Only usable during the delay time that occurred by Raging Trifecta Blow.
Deliver 4 blows on a target, the caster cannot move for a short period
after use.
If 'Raging Thrust' is used in conjunction with this skill,
movement will be delayed even longer. DEX and AGI reduce the delay time
Active Skill
Requires: Level 5 Triple Attack/Raging Trifecta Blow
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 200% ATK (ATK x 2) 17
2 250% ATK (ATK x 2.5) 19
3 300% ATK (ATK x 3) 21
4 350% ATK (ATK x 3.5) 23
5 400% ATK (ATK x 4) 25
NOTE:
Chain Combo/Raging Quadruple Blow is the 2nd blow of the Combo skill.
Be always ready to press the hotkey because once the triple blow
goes off and you were unable to chain it up, then the chance is gone.
This skill's damage calculation calculates INDEPENDENTLY.
Its calculation is based on your stats not on your Triple Blow.
[Combo Finish/Raging Thrust]==============================================
Only usable during the delay after Raging Quadruple Blow.
The target will take damage and be pushed 5 cells back at the same time.
Consumes 1 spirit sphere, the caster cannot mover after skill use.
If "Guillotine Fist" is used, and the caster is in Fury status carrying at
least 4 spirit spheres, extra movement delay time for 'Guillotine Fist'
will occur. The delay time is affected by DEX and AGI of the caster.
Guillotine Fist can be activated without a casting delay after this skill.
Active Skill
Requires: Level 3 Chain Combo/Raging Quad. Blow and a Spirit Sphere
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 300% ATK 23
2 360% ATK 26
3 420% ATK 29
4 480% ATK 32
5 540% ATK 35
NOTE:
This is the Final touch of the Combo skill. If the opponent is still
standing... repeat steps 1-3 until you're satisfied. ^_^
Like Raging Quadruple Blow, this skill's calculations is independent
from Raging Quadruple Blow and Raging Trifecta Blow. It's calculation
is based on your stats.
[Body Relocation/Snap]=====================================================
Teleport to a chosen cell
Instantly moves the caster to a chosen spot if there is no obstacle between
the caster and the location. Requires 1 spirit sphere and 10 SP.
Active Skill
Requires: Level 2 Spirits Recovery/Spiritual Cadence,
Level 3 Steel Body/Mental Strength and

1 Use Body Relocation 10

Snap/Body Relocation can be used in Guild Wars.
You CAN cross firewall/snares/SG/Meteor/LoV.
NOTE:
This is a controlled but limited teleportation.
[Finger Offensive/Throw Spirit Sphere]====================================
Throw spirit spheres to a target at a distance.
Skill level affects on the numbers of spirit spheres that the caster can
use at a time. Casting cannot be interrupted, the casting time takes as
much as [1 second + (The numbers of spirit spheres x 1 second)].
Consumes 20 SP 10. Has a 0.5 delay time after a use.

4 225% ATK (ATK x 2.25) 4 Spirit Spheres
(Casting time 1 second + [Number of Spirit Spheres x 1 second]) 10
5 250% ATK (ATK x 2.5) 5 Spirit Spheres
(Casting time 1 second + [Number of Spirit Spheres x 1 second]) 10
Note from Acolyte Maniax!:
Manipulate spirit sphere takes a long cast time and can MISS.
Get high dex to reduce that penalty!
NOTE:
An attack that is pretty much the same with Soul Strike. Use this as a
mid-range attack or use it before you clobber an opponent. I don't think
that using this as a primary weapon is good. This requires high amount
of INT (50 is good, max INT to 50 if you will be using this as a primary
skill since this will take up huge amount of SP.)
[Investigate]=============================================================
Deliver a massive psychic impact to an enemy spending 1 spirit sphere at
a time. DEF of the enemy affects on the amount of damage taken.
The more defense the target has the more damage this skill will do.

4 400% ATK (ATK x 4) 19
5 475% ATK (ATK x 4.75) 20
NOTE:
Use this as a first step attack vs. opponents with strong DEF or check
if the opponent has high Def.
[Blade Stop/Root]=========================================================
Consuming 1 spirit sphere, stops both the enemy and the caster's movement
for the skill duration. Both the enemy and caster become paralyzed
until either dies. Higher skill level allows the caster to use
certain skills for this skills duration.
This skill is not applicable for boss monsters.
Active Skill
Requires: Level 5 Flee/Dodge
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [Duration][Cast Time][SP]
1 -NONE- 20 sec 0.5s ?

Fury/Explosion Spirits 60 sec 1.3s ?
NOTE:
This skill works like Auto-Counter of the Knight Class.
Attack Skills and Normal Attack will only be affected.
The cast time is also the same with the Knight's, the attack must
be executed BEFORE the cast bar dissapears or the skill will not
activate. (Thanks to admira)
[Explosion Spirits/Fury]=================================================
Increases critical attack rate for a 3 minute skill duration, consuming
5 spirit spheres. During the skill duration, SP can not be restored

the caster's DEF and MDEF are fixed at 90.
The caster cannot use any active skills during the skill
duration at the same time, the attack and moving speed are decreased 25%.
Has a 5 second casting time which cannot be interrupted,
this skill spends 200 SP for a single use.
Active Skill
Requires: Level 3 Combo Finish/Raging Thrust and 5 Spirit Spheres
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [SP]
1 30 seconds 200 SP
2 60 seconds 200 SP
3 90 seconds 200 SP
4 120 seconds 200 SP
5 150 seconds 200 SP
NOTE:
Good skill to have even though the penalty is your ASPD.
This will reduce Normal and Magical attacks by 90%.
Although the penalty is quite drastic (reduced ASPD)
the skill is still great due to you will be more tougher
than those VIT Knights. (For a limited time ^0^)
[Asura Strike/Extremity Fist/Guillotine Fist]=============================
During the fury status, the caster can deals huge damages with a target by
consuming 5 spirit spheres and the remaining SP amount of the caster.
The remaining SP amount of the caster affects on the amount of damage
dealt with the target. Cards increase the damage by a great amount.
This skill pierces the flee rate, the size and the defense of target,
also this skill is neutral property which is not affected by the
weapon property.
Fury status is canceled immediately after the skill use,
for 5 minutes after the skill is used, the caster cannot restore
SP automatically. Skill level affects on the casting time and this skill
can be interrupted while casting. If the caster has learned Raging Thrust
or Root lvl 5 and is a qualified requirement, this skill can be used by
the caster.
Requires: Level 3 Finger Offensive/Throw Spirit Sphere and
Level 3 Explosion Spirits/Fury
[LV] [Skill Level Effect] [Cast time][Delay time] [SP]

3 700% ATK (x 7) 3sec 2sec All Remaining SP
4 850% ATK (x 8.5) 2.5sec 1.5sec All Remaining SP
5 1000% ATK (x 10) 2sec 1sec All Remaining SP
NOTE:
Use this only as a last resort or before you die especially in PVP or
if you're desperate. But as Admira says this skill is kinda "Weird"
for me yes you can have this skill but this skill cannot be your
primary skill.
Recommendation from Acolite Maniax!:
Never max Asura Strike for greater damage. Get higher SP
instead, you will get a much higher damage.

- IX. Skill Builds -------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
[Acolyte Skill Builds]====================================================
Currently there are three builds, namely Low-Heal Monk, Strict Pre-Monk and
the Warpolyte monk.
[Warpolyte Pre-Monk]------------------------------------------------------

Heal Lv.3
Blessing Lv.10

Same as Strict Pre-monk but with low Heal level
Heal Lv.3
Divine Protection Lv.10
Demon Bane Lv.10
Blessing Lv.10
Increase Agility Lv.10 (Angelus for VITs)
NOTE:
This build is somewhat a RUSH build due to you change Job at Jlvl 44 only
but you will not receive the 3 Slot Fist Bonus.
[Strict Pre-Monk]---------------------------------------------------------
This build emphasizes the needs of a monk job.
More on offensive oriented support skills.
Heal Lv.9
Divine Protection Lv.10
Demon Bane Lv.10
Blessing Lv.10
Increase Agility Lv.10 (Angelus for VITs Monksters)
NOTE:
This a standard non-pneuma build.
[My Version]--------------------------------------------------------------
This build is for business minded Acolytes.
Use Warp Portal to raise fund and buy yourself armors etc.
But the down side is your heal level is low.
But this is one of the recommended build as of posting.
Heal Lv.6
Ruwach Lv.1
Teleport Lv.2
Divine Protection Lv.10
Demon Bane Lv.10
Blessing Lv.10
Increase Agility* Lv.10
*If VIT Build, exchange Inc. AGI for Angelus.
NOTE: Notice there's no Angelus? becoz' its useless at
low skill levels. You'll only need 2 Warp portals
One as your Save-point and one to Glast Heim.
At level 55 (154 Flee) I already train on Evil Druids/Nightmares/
Ghoul/Brilights in Lower GH (Offensive Bless on Demons/Undead of course!)

Blessing Lv.10
Divine Protection Lv.10
Demon Bane Lv.10
Increase Agility Lv.5
Pneuma Lv.1

Monk Skill Builds=========================================================
Monk skill translation for dummies:
(Since there are 3 diffrent sets of Monk skills I've posted every name that
I know as of posting.)I our WEIRD pRO they got all the types mixed up!
TYPE 1 Names TYPE 2 Names TYPE 3 Names
Knuckle Mastery /Iron Hand /Iron Fist
Spirit Relaxation /Spirits Recovery /Spiritual Cadence
Falling Pear Petals /Dodge /Flee
Triple Blows /Triple Attack /Raging Trifectla Blow
Vigor Condensation /Call Spirits /Summon Spirit Spheres
Inspiration /Absorb Spirits /Spiritual Sphere Absorbtion
Quadruple Blows /Chain Combo /Raging Quadruple Blow
Way of the Dragon /Combo Finish /Raging Thrust
Dash Like a Bullet /Body Relocation /Snap
Manipulate Spheres /Finger Offensive /Throw Spirit Sphere
Psychic Wave /Investigate /Occult Impaction
Dilemma /Blade Stop /Root
Critical Explosion /Explosion Spirits /Fury
Physical Immune /Steel Body /Mental Strength
Asura Strike /Extremity Fist /Guillotine Fist
[Pure Offense Monk]-------------------------------------------------------
This is the first build for me that use most of all the important
skill for Monks.
Iron Hand/Palm Lv.10
Call Spirits/Summon Spirit Spheres Lv.5
Absorb Spirits Lv.1
Dodge/Flee Lv.8
Triple Attack/Raging Trifecta Blow Lv.10
Chain Combo/Raging Quadriple Blow Lv.5
Combo Finish/Raging Thrust Lv.5
Steel Body/Mental Strenght Lv.5
Explanation:
I didn't add Spirit Reco because that having Lv.9 Heal as an Acolyte
will still be great with just 30 INT and the way you recover your SP is
that cast Call Spirits - Absorb Spirits. Yes I know it's a slow process.
It's not suited to be executed in places with high aggressiveness because
it really takes up time.
[Pure Offense Monk 2]-----------------------------------------------------
Iron Hand/Palm Lv.5
Call Spirits/Summon Spirit Spheres Lv.5
Dodge/Flee Lv.10
Triple Attack/Raging Trifecta Blow Lv.10
Blade Stop/Root Lv.2
Spirit Recovery/Spiritual Cadence Lv.5
Absorb Spirits Lv.1
Chain Combo/Raging Quadruple Blow Lv.5
Combo Finish/Raging Thrust Lv.5
Steel Body/Mental Strenght Lv.1
Explanation:
Almost the same as Natahanael (Eich Combo Build) but the difference is
that the Lv.1 Steel Body. I used this build Offline, works well but was
not tested thoroughly because some of the skills just won't work!
[Pure Offense Monk 3]-----------------------------------------------------
Iron Fist/Palm Lv.10
Summon Spirits Spheres Lv.5
Absorb Spirit Spheres Lv.1
Flee Lv.5
Raging Trifecta Blow Lv.9
Raging Quadruple Blow Lv.5
Raging Thrust Lv.5
Root Lv.2
Spiritual Cadence Lv.5
Mental Strength Lv.2
Explanation:
I also plan this as a "recon" character since this build can go
SOLO in WoE (against 2 melee characters).
[Combo-Asura Monk Build]--------------------------------------------------
My personal favorite...
Iron Fist Lv.5
Summon Spirit Sphere Lv.5
Flee Lv.5
Raging Trifecta Blow Lv.5
Raging Quadruple Blow Lv.5
Raging Thrust Lv.5
Root Lv.2
Spiritual S. Absorption Lv.1
Fury Lv.3
Occult Impaction Lv.3
Throw Spirit Lv.3
Guillontine Fist Lv.3
Mental Strength Lv.2
Explanation:
Not so long ago the Triple Blow -> Quad Blow -> Way Of Dragon -> Asura Strike
Combo is nothing but a dream, but I have devised a build that will make it
possible. This build already exist but was not posted here. 'Nuff with the
intro and let me explain the build.
This build is somehow "weak" in combo due to the low Iron Fist Mastery and
Raging Trifecta Blow is only Lv.5. Because of this you will depend on
Elemental Fists very much. This build seems to be forever due to that you
will only feel the completeness of the build by Jlvl50. And that's tough
and too darn long.
I'm not into dasher builds due to the low skill levels you will be having.
But the Dasher Build is good. Combo-Asura Build has edge on combo damage
compared to a Dasher Monk. (Only in that field.)
NOTE:
This build will depend on your STR very much and the Guillontine fist is
only to be used in extreme conditions. And must not be used as a medium
in leveling. COMBO is your life. Guillontine is only on Lv.3 due to
the damage is sufficient enough to TAKE DOWN any living player in RO.
(Except GM's ^_^).
Guillontine Fist Equation: (From Acolyte Maniax and RO Universe)
[(Wpn Atk+Base Atk) x (8 + SP/10) + 250 + (S.Lv*150)]* Card Effect
Tested on my character at Blvl 75. (No Buffs)
with +10 Triple Bloody Knuckle Duster
46 STR, 50+30 (Weapon Attack) and 840 SP*
*(885 SP, after using 2 Summon Spirits and 1 Fury.)
[(50+30+46) x (8 + 840/10) + 250 + (5*150)]* +60% on Demi-Human
ATTACK = 18695 (WTF...)
This attack will IGNORE FLEE and DEFENSE of the target. For instance
a VIT Knight or Crusader. Crusaders cannot reflect the damage due to
before they can reflect the damage they will die first.
(They will need to receive the damage first before they can reflect it.)
The only skill that will hinder you is Auto-Counter.
The Mental Strength skill will only assist you in some situations.
This build can be also used as a "Recon Monk".
~Suggested Equipments~
Weapon R: +10 Triple Bloody Knuckle Duster (PVP/GVG Only)
+X VVS (Element) Fist or any elemental Knuckles
Weapon L: +4 Buckler (Ambernite/Thara Frog)

Gunardi's POV:
My Build's difference with your build was in Spirit Recovery, which I think
was very important for a Monk to have and in triple attack because
the lower the level of triple attack the more likely it will activate.

NOTE:
You have 3 skill points left over... I suggest that you put 3 in Investigate
or 3 in Finger Offensive or put 3 more in Triple Attack.
-Natahanael
Natahanael's Words:
This is an alternative build of a monk from the common combo monk.
I suggest that you use the Lightning Monk for this skill build but limit
your intelligence to only 10 for the reason that you won't be using that
much sp compared to the combo monk. Just put those stat points in
strength for boost in damage or luck for more critical percentages.
You will attack extremely fast because of agility up and hard because
of triple attacks, criticals and by blessing. Also your flee rate would
be almost as high as an assassin thanks to agility up and dodge.
If you're hit just heal it, you won't get hit that much anyway.
My POV:
Well.. what can I say? I'm impressed. But still with only 10 INT you will
experience hard time leveling as an Acolyte. Still as everyone says
"Perfect characters always start weak and very hard to level like they will
never reach their 2nd class. But wait till they finish their build. They're
unstoppable. They're "Perfect".". I love hearing this dialogue of my
best friend. It empowers me to continue my characters.

(additional note)
Lv5 FO/MSS at 100 Str is strong enough to kill a
Hunter(agi type)/Assassin/Wizard in an instant
( my build's 72 STR + 8 Job + 10 Blessing + 10 (Mighty Staff) = 100 STR )
I tried it on the iRO multi stat calculator and was surprised on the
amount of damage FO/MSS can deal
You may substitute the Extremity Fist/Asura Strike for Lv2 Blade Stop/Root and
Lv3 Spirit Recovery if you feel the need for it, since my build has
40 Int on it(38+2). I'll have descent sp recovery rate plus Absorb Spirits,
Try to get Steel Body/Mental Strenght as early as possible it works in wonders
Glenn's Words:
This build is meant to be an all around offensive fighter,
both on melee and ranged and to deal continuous massive amounts of damage,
The AGI Build is recommended for this build to reduce the delay time of
the combo skills and for the Finger Offensive to follow smoothly as a
finishing move or use it as a pre-emptive strike
Triple attack=> Chain Combo=> Combo Finish=> Finger Offensive (finisher)
The Finger Offensive will substitute for the Heal bomb since the monk's
heal bomb won't be as strong as that of the priest, the difference is
that the monk has a wider choice of monsters to blast, You may choose to
take the other combo skills first before getting finger offensive.
(type in uppercase "Rei Gun!!" as you blast your enemies)
*Well, Son Goku has "Kamehameha" and Yusuke Urameshi has "Rei Gun" so
I guess the RO monk has Finger Offensive! Besides no combat fighting hero
is complete without some sort of projectile attack ^_^.
My POV:
His explanation is very amusing and detailed. And his combo can also
be used like the Find Stone-Stone Fling-Envenom-Sonic Blow of the
Assassin Class. Wala na ata akong Imagination.. hindi na ako makaisip ng
magandang build. Nakalimutan ko na rin yung isa kong build. Nyweiz
thanks for contributing to this guide.
*admira says
"Combo can't be finished using Finger Offensive ^^ It can be finished
using Ashura but not Finger Offensive."
>>Yes it CAN be finished using MSS but you will need to wait until the
delay period wears off and then you can use MSS or Throw Spirit Sphere.
There are only 2 skills in the Monk class that bans you from using other skills
and that is Mental Strength/Steel Body and Root/Dilemma. So you can use
MSS after the Combos but you will have to wait for the delay period to wear off

Spirit Recovery/Spritual Cadence Lv.5
Investigate/Occult Impaction Lv.4
Finger Offense/Throw Spirit Sphere Lv.3
Extermity Fist/Guillontine Fist Lv.5
Gunardi's words:
This monk build concentrate on dishing high damage to monster with high
defense that's why we got investigate here and also with high critical
rate from critical explosion which ignore defense. I don't put any skill
point in triple attack, because without triple attack we'll have more ASPD
coz we won't disturbed by the delay time from triple attack. Also I don't
quite agree with Glenn I think spirit recovery still a great skill to have.
A monk must have min 30 Int so we'll have more SP and more healing power
without the spirit Reco we'll run out of SP and end up sitting because we'll
still be using lot's of SP on using our skill even not as much as combo monk.
And 30 Int really help for leveling our acolyte in GH graveyard
(We call it aco's playground in here ^_^).
Actually I make this build for PvP purpose because with this build
we'll have edge over those high defense knight with our investigate and also
to deal those hunter use blade stop on them next cast Pneuma and critical
explosion and start pummel them to ground, or just blast em with finger
offense until they died that why we need Int here. Also we can show
them our "OGI" the extermity fist ^^.
My POV:
I am a firm believer that you need at least 30-40 INT if you want to be
a �ighting Monk. Someone e-mailed me that he has a INT of 70+ because his
build is really for a support priest or a Magnus Exo priest (I forgot)
that was just too darn high and an INT of below 30 sux too.
Because it much easier if you'll start as a HEAL BOMB. Pump your INT to 30
then start distributing your stats pts into other stats. Then Heal bomb
your way to power level up!.
Back to the build. I also wanted this kind of build but unfortunately
I lost my copy and I forgot it totally. but will have to utilize the
Warpolyte monk path (I have one with that build) and also it will really
help you a lot about those pesky Hunters and their Double Strafes!.
I think there's a large mismatch if you will battle a Knight with this
build. if you're using the Lightning Monk build with max dodge sure thing
there's a mismatch. (Just watch out for Auto-Counter).

Chain Combo/Raging Quadruple Blow Lv.5
Combo Finish/Raging Thrust Lv.5
Crit Explosion/Fury Lv.1
Natahanael's Words:
My Iron Hand is only at level 5 because for me I think that having level 10
triple attack would benefit my player in dishing more damage.
You will only lose 15 damage compared to the 301 damage that you will lose
when you have a level 5 triple attack. With a level 5 triple attack you
will attack 5% more but at the same time your damage will be greatly
reduced. Another reason is that you won't combo that much anyway because
combos consume a lot of sp and monks don't have that much intelligence
anyway to have that big amount of sp.
In any case, you are still the one who will decide for your character
not me =) Lastly, the level 1 critical explosion is not that bad at all
because it gives you 10% chance to make criticals for those monsters
with a lot of defense =P
My POV:
The only downside of Lv10 Triple attack is that it is more difficult to
combo. But if you got that 997 triple attack damage well that's enough
for me (Most Assassins in pRO that I see use their Sonic Blow can only
deal an average damage of 900.)

so I added Root Lv.3 and Investigate Lv.5.

Dodge Lv.5
Chain Combo Lv.5
Combo Finish Lv.5
Blade Stop Lv.4
Investigate Lv.3
Spirits Recovery Lv.2
Ky Kissen's Note:
Now the reason I called it subzero is because of the blade stop skill,
at level 4 you could combo your opponent while it is standing still;
not moving or attacking. I think at level 5 you could use extermity fist on
it and the reason I called it Vit killer is because of the investigate skill.
It takes out more damage on monsters with high defense the higher the DEF
the higher the Damage.just like in pvp , Vit knights are easily compared
to as high DEF monsters. I didnt maxed out spirits recovery because
there were no more skill pointsleft T_T . Maybe you could dish out some
from the triple attack skill.
Another note:
As Ky Kissen requires, this build is much more effective with the
NO HEAL Battle-Aco path and then take these path:
Lv.6 Heal
Lv.1 Teleport
Lv.1 Ruwach
Lv.1 Cure
Like the Jlvl.50 Path but differs in the Jlvl.40 onwards.

Spiritual Cadence Lv.5
+6 Extra Skill Points
In this build, I used an assassin based-stats for this build (99 agi).
Because of this, I did not add much flee.
The flee is for the prerequisites only. Since I made this build using stats
from an assassin builds, there is no vitality.
Also, the combo skills uses too much SP. Spiritual cadence could make up for it
since it helps recover both HP and SP.It's up to the user for the other 6 skill
points. I used 4 for Fury and added 2 for flee, but the user has the last call.
I use this build in iRO, and it works well for me. The only compromise in this
build is that when I made this build, I gave up some of STR for INT.

Flee Lv.10
+4 Extra Skill Points
This build is the exact opposite of my combo build. It is recommended for
those builds who have high INT since it uses magic for its attacks.
Fury is only added because it is a prerequisite for the Guillotine Fist.
Since you have high INT for this build, spiritual cadence is not much
needed with this build. I maxed the flee this time to compensate for
the possible lost agi points that was used for int. By the way,
there are still 4 extra skill points. You could use 2 points for
Root and 2 for Spiritual Cadence. It is up to the user!!!

I don't know with this build. I just brainstorming for other possible
builds. Some said it was good, as long as you have good amounts of INT
and AGI. Maybe equips that boosts INT and AGI can help you have that.
In this build, after the Raging Tri/Quad Blows, I immediately used the
next skill points for Occult/Throw Spirit becuase you can use these
skills as the finisher for the combos.

NOTE:
As we all know STR builds is not that great
and STR must not be over 90+ because some STR builds are failures
because they neglect defensive stat such as AGI or VIT and his build
should be AGI/STR build so his AGI wouldn't be so darn low.
He said that he has a Doppleganger Card (+50 AGI) and by this time
Doppleganger Cards will be extinct. Lucky You if you have one.
I think you should've followed Weggy's STR Merchant build It's much
better and effective too. ^_^

The Experience:
Stats
Str - 47
Agi - 10
Vit - 1
Int - 93
Dex - 25
Luk - 1
my current Blvl is 77, Jlvl 45.
as you can see, my build is all for INT & STR, it's because the more
STR, SP, MATK, ATK, & INT will increase the damage you're
inflicting when using GUILLOTINE FIST.
My build is not for PVP, it is mainly as a support character
for friend and a MVP hunter with lot of blue pots or SP recovering item.
The reason i put some skill point on IRON PALM & TRIPLE ATK is because
it is ot more easy lvl up when hunting undead or demon type monstes.
Example : I'm wearing fire fist, every single normal hit I deal now is
around 210-250++ if triple atk, I can deal 300++ damage per hit..
more damage means faster kill & fast EXP.
I use GUILLOTINE FIST only when hunting MVP or saving my friend from
strong monsters, somemore I got lot of SP & INT so that with HEAL lvl 8
I can heal 1.4-1.5k with blessing lvl 10. To tell you the truth,
this character is very hard to lvl up!!!! because the low atk speed and
I only hunt undead or demon type..
Lucky for me that my HEAL is powerful if not I totally can't
imagine what could happen to my lvl.
I never use The BLADE STOP/ROOT skill, because I never plan to PVP.
The only reason I put this in is bcoz of SPIRIT RECOVER.
I use FURY only if I want to use GUILLONTINE FIST.
With my build now, if i use LVL 5 Throw Spirit Sphere on undead monters
it can deal 4-5k damage. The bad thing is, i need a lot of SP & keep on
pressing the CALL SPIRIT hotkey. TRIED!!!!! but when all the other
monk or char near me see my damage and all of them will say WAHHHHH
after the damage
dishing out damages around 4-5k. IT MADE ME FEEL GOOD :)
after that, all the monk near by me PM or talk with me
and ask me to show off more :) hahahaha like i am a STAR to them :)
SPIRIT RECOVER play an important role in my build, it is because I
need to support to my friend (coz no priest in the party),
THROW SPIRIT and GUILLOTINE FIST. So I need a lot of sp.
Faster recovery, the better.
I think FLEE/DODGE skill is not that important to SPIRITUAL BUILD
it is because with this build we will put a lot in INT to maximum
the damage. With lvl 10 FLEE, the flee rate will only increase
15 and i think is not much use when agi is low, and with so low
flee rate every high lvl UNDEAD or DEMON monters can hit u.
So better let them hit and use HEAL to recover the lose HP.

NOTE:
This build is almost complete and you�re skills is distributed properly on
key-skills depending on you�re enemy either in PvM or PvP,
(correct me if I�m wrong) For me Easy leveling-up and being the strongest
is not Hard or a myth, it�s just planning you�re character�s stats and
distributing it properly, but if you insist on having a hard time leveling-up,
it�s not my problem. hehehe As you can see, I have 40 int.
in the start so I�ll have no problem leveling-up have high enough SP to
execute combo�s to kill any enemy, and I have a Pneuma on my acolyte and
only lvl 5 agi-up, my increase agi is only 5 coz its enough to give you a boost
(Hey What�s a Priest for??) I�ve included a lvl 6 heal so you can Heal
you�re self when you�re leveling-up alone, thus giving you no frustration
waiting for you�re regeneration to complete and saving you allot of zennies,
potions, and time. And the Pneuma is for PvP purpose, so when you�re facing
a Hunter/Archer in the PvP room, you�ll have no problem walking-up to him
and activating you�re BLADE STOP/ROOT on him and executing combo�s and asura
strike on that POOR Hunter, And in no time that Poor hunter will be beaten
to a pulp. I didn�t include Spiritual Candence coz� you have high enough int.
and heal to replace that skill. I would recommend Vit build for this skill
build, so your delay time would be long so you can execute more combo�s easily,
Vit one�s will rule in PvP and PvM purposes, coz of the high HP and adequate
attack speed and high damage� you�re one hell of a monk to beat.
In this build I started to max Int. till it was 40 so I wouldn�t have any
problem leveling up, so when you�re lvl 60++ you�ll be having 600++ SP and thus
you�ll have no problem regenerating after executing combos, you can execute
more combo�s and decimate any opponent you�ll facing. As you can see my
IRON HAND/FIST is only lvl 5, coz� 5 skill points is better spent on other
skills like Asura Strike or Blade Stop than having only +15 on you�re attack,
(What�s an upgrade for??) and my triple attack is only lvl 5 too, coz� for me,
having 25% triple attack activation is better than a 20% giving you more
chances to execute and complete Combo�s and giving you 5 extra skills to
distribute on Investigate or Explosion Spirits/fury. And in this build you
can even execute the devastating
TRIPLE ATTACK � CHAIN COMBO � COMBO FINISH � ASURA STRIKE on an enemy.
You can even kill a Vitality knight with ease, just walk up to that darn knight
and activate BLADE STOP/ROOT and keep hitting him with INVESTIGATE till he�s
dead meat. In PvP just activate you�re blade stop on you�re enemy and pummel
him to death.
(Just be sure to equip some quad ancient knuckles or triple ancient
knuckles on key enemies like a hunter or assassin.)
NOTE: (My Note)
I rather have Asura gears and have 20 INT than pumping it to 40.
I applied some BP theories in my builds. STR is the in ASURA and a great
combo damage. Try to put the excesses points in your STR than pump your int
to 40.

[Pre-Monk Stats Build]----------------------------------------------------
This build is a Hybrid of STR/AGI with a little of VIT and DEX.
This build is my personal favorite, in fact this Is the one that I am
using right now.
How to Distribute:
10 INT and STR then 20 VIT and 15 DEX and the rest is to AGI,
when you feel that your agi is high enough, raise your STR and
DEX to 20 and then max your AGI out.
After maxing out AGI you may start building the other stats.

[Lightning Monk]----------------------------------------------------------
If you want your character be named as the Lightning Monk, use this
build. This build is like of an Assassin but instead of LUK INT is
increased. This build emphasizes AGI.
Don't worry about your VIT when you change your job to Monk
you'll get a skill named Dodge which works like the Thief's
Increase Dodge. But until then you have to sacrifice a little.
This build is good for PvM only and meant to be used in WoE.
How to Distribute:
10 INT and STR then 15 DEX and the rest is to AGI,
when you feel that your agi is high enough, raise your STR and
DEX to 20 and then max your AGI out.

[Hardcore Battle Acolyte-Monk]--------------------------------------------
According to Mad Monarch Gyl: "I believe this is by far the best build
I've used and this is actually one of my favorite.
This build will make you as tough as a swordsman, gaining good
amount of HP per reds/healing items and decent stats bonuses
from spells at the same time healing yourself!
The Cons are very minimal as this build could make you power level-up."
How to Distribute:
10 INT and STR then 15 DEX and the rest is to AGI,
after achieving a nice amount of AGI raise your DEX to 20 the again
pump up your AGI to 80 then raise the other remaining stats.

Weapon R: +6 Hora/+5 Fist (with ATK+ cards)

Garment: Mocking Muffler
Armor: +4 Speedy Mink Coat
Footwear: +4 Boots of Hermes
Accessories:
Clip of Mustle x2
[Critical Monk]-----------------------------------------------------------
Crit Monks will also be like Crit/Luk Sins. but we will try to put some
INT to the build. The Crit Monk will not Crit as high as a Sin can
in normal instances. Use the Crit skill build with this, it is recommended.
How to Distribute:
10 INT and STR then 15 DEX and the rest is to AGI,
when you feel that your agi is high enough, raise your STR and
DEX to 20 and then max your AGI out.
After reachin the recommended AGI, you may start building the other stats.
[Critical Monk]
Job Bonus at Monk Jlvl 50
STR: 54 +8
AGI: 84 +6
VIT: 15 +6
INT: 15/20 +2
DEX: 46 +4
LUK: 41 +3
NOTE:
This is like the Lucky Dodge build. If you're going to use this I recommend
that you use the Crit Monk Skill build for better results and try to get
the suggested equips.
~Suggested Equipments~
Weapon R: +9 Triple Critical Hora
Weapon L: +4 Buckler
U. Head: +4 Bunny Band/Joker Jester
M. Head: ???
L. Head: ???
Garment: Mocking Muffler
Armor: +4 Lucky Saint's Coat
Footwear: Crystal Pumps (for Girls) ?? for Males
Accessories: Clip of Counter x2
[VIT killer Monk]-----------------------------------------------------------
(Ky Kissen)
This build is almost the same with the other STR builds. Sure thing, with
your high STR, you can almost neutralize those VIT builds.
[Critical Monk]
Job Bonus at Monk Jlvl 50
STR: 80 +8
AGI: 90 +6
VIT: 25 +6
INT: 36 +2
DEX: 40 +4
LUK: 1 +3
NOTE: (From Ky Kissen)
The reason i didn't maxed agi is because you will have Increase Agi,
The dodge skill for the monk and maybe by that time you have already
purchased a mocking or quick muffler (
I only said maybe^^ don't get me wrong ^_^)
that would total to at least 100+ agi. And Vit is for damage taking ,
your flee rate wont save you from high damaging, high dex monsters
its better safe that sorry ^_^.

of Clips.
My NOTE:
I changed some of the equips due some are ineffcient and have better
alternatives (like Mink Coat, Saint's Robe is the same but lighter
and have a +5 MDEF Bonus. I think this build is not a CRITICAL monk but
a Hybrid Critical Monk so I named it as Hybrid Monk2.
If you'll be using the Crit part you better use +LUK head gears.
[STR Combo Build3]--------------------------------------------------------
(Monk-ey Build)
Lance Lim ([email protected])
Stats:
I won't go into detail on what your stats HAVE to be. Its all up
to you, but I do recommend that you get over 80 STRENGTH if your gonna be
a combo Monk. I see plenty of wannabes on the server I play on and its
pathetics. They do some 300-500 damage triple blow (Most likely level
5) on Bathroies in Clock Tower. Comboing, IMO, should be short and sweet.
If you're going to give the enemy a combo, then make it HURT.
My Monk is doing around 1.2k triple blow damage (99 str) and yes,
it hurts like whoa when I chain it with the other skills.
AGILITY is also a factor in comboing properly.
You should put a good amount (50-80) if you want to attack fast enough to
make some combos.
INTELIGENCE and LUCK are things I neglect in my build.
I have like, 1 int 1 luk because of the need for str, agi, and dex.
DEXTERITY is very important. Whats the point of comboing when you're
missing?! Put around 30-50 if you want to land those hits often.
If you still insist on what stats should be, heres my final stats:
Blvl 99 (4 pts left)
(Without Job and Equip Bonuses)
Str: 99 +8
Agi: 65 +6
Vit: 38 +6
Int: 1 +2
Dex: 53 +4
Luk: 1 +3
Weapon R: -S. Waghnakh (x4 Andre)
Dropped By Bloody Butterfly (Gonryun Dungeon)
-S. Claw (Skeleton/ Magnolia, etc.) ~ Store
Weapon L: +4 Buckler (+ Card of your liking)
U. Head: Evil Wing, Deviruchi Hat, Birreta w/Deviruchi Card/Orc Hero Card
M. Head: ???
L. Head: ???
Garment: +4 Mocking Muffler
Armor: +4 Saint's Robe with Ghostring Card/ Thief Bug Card)
Footwear: +4 Shoes with Sohee, Matyr, Verit Card
Accessories: Clip of Mustle or Ring of Mustle
My COMMENT (Not Note)
Yes you can combo BIG damages but you can't combo always.
The Dex is too high (36 is sufficient enough plus the 4 DEX bonus
so your DEX will be 40 plus again Lv.10 Blessing that's 50 DEX)
and also your level will also raise your HIT (forgot?) I saw a
BP (Battle Priest) with 30 DEX doing great with the Raydrics
of course with the Lv.10 Blessing on. And another note...
The Offline Experience is very much diffrent from the Online
experience, No x1000 Drop Rate and x1000 Bexp/Jexp multiplier.
About the equips... I modified some of his equipment due some
of the cards are "extinct" by the time of Juno Patch and some
are mere impossible to have.
About his build... As we all know STR builds is not that great
and STR must not be over 90+ because some STR builds are failures
because they neglect defensive stat such as AGI or VIT and his build
should be AGI/STR build so his AGI wouldn't be so darn low.
He said that he has a Doppleganger Card (+50 AGI) and by this time
Doppleganger Cards will be extinct. Lucky You if you have one.
I think you should've followed Weggy's STR Merchant build It's much
better and effective too. ^_^
(I'm a Defensive type of player rather than an Offensive one.
That's our diffrence, admira and I. So Off oriented people would probably
want to pay more attention to his guide rather than my guide. ^_^)

__________________________________________________________________________
- 11.2 Knuckles ---------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Knuckle-Type weapons are only ONE-HAND, so it means that you
can equip a shield. (A slotted Buckler is recommended.)
-Knuckles can be also equipped by Priest.
-Waghnak, Knuckle Duster, Hora are sold by an NPC in St.Capitolina Abbey.
-Claw, Finger, Fist are sold in Umbala. (unknown location)

the Umbala update.

one 3S Knuckle Duster.

Weapon Lvl: 1
Equivalent of the Katana but low weapon attack.

Cost: 32,000z
Required Lvl: 12

I prefer having this weapon to be used on PVP's especially if you have
a Double Ancient Bloody Hora or a Double Bloody Ancient Hora. It is more
powerful and useful than a Quad bloody Waghnak even though it has only
a 2 Hydra cards. Trust me. Have this weapon and max it (to it's safety
level or how high you want.) if you do not have a Lv3 weapon that has been
upgraded.

__________________________________________________________________________
- 11.3 Others -----------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Equipment 101=============================================================
Here's some reminders to keep in mind in choosing/buying your equipments.
1)Prioritize your builds's need. Don't sacrifice efficiency over
fashion. Bongun hat is NO MATCH against a Wise Biretta for Asura Monks.
2)Only upgrade your slotted armors if you have an extra one.
example:
Try to have a +4 Mocking Muffler before attempting to make a
+10 Mocking Muffler. AND if you're trying to over upgrade keep in mind
that DON'T COMPOUND CARDS before upgrading it. try to achieve your goal
before compounding.
3)Try to save things that you will be needing in the future.
4)Be knowledgeable about equips.
__________________________________________________________________________
- XII. MVP'ing as a Monk -------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
This part was inspired by Captain FAI's ever great MVP FAQ and is also
one of my favorite in-depth FAQ. Well I'll pattern this part of the guide
to his Hunter MVP guide since it will be almost the same as the Hunter's,
but not how the way Hunters MVP.
Monks are not that good in MVP'ing since most Monks (IMO) is into AGI
and Monks cannot deal high and as fast damages that Hunters can deal.
Since Monks are into AGI they can't take too much damage and healing will
be compromised due to the massive SP requirements of Combo Builds.
In the other hand Asura/Extremity Fist/Guillontine Fist is quite useless
in MVP'ing... You can't afford to use all your SP in one single attack and
MISS! and since 1 hit of this skill can be out numbered by DS (Double Strafe)
massive damage (with 5+ attacks of course).
What should Monks do when hunting MVPs?
1) Bring enough rations (SP wise).
2) Like the Hunter, have Elite MVP Fists and Elem Fist.
3) BUFF yourself and ONLY yourself (Blessing and AGI up/Angelus if VIT).
4) Combo/MSS/Asura like there is no tomorrow.
[MVP Skills]==============================================================
I won't post a MVP Skill build, but I will say some Monk skills that are
essential in MVP'ing.
- BLESSING must be 10 because +10 in your stat can contribute BIG in your
damages and character effectiveness.
- INCREASE AGI must be 10 because Increase Agility will also raise your
ASPD and of course your AGI and Flee rate.
- ANGELUS must be 10 if your build is into VIT. This will influence your
defence in BIG ways.
- RAGING TRIFECTA BLOWS this depends on you but I recommend that this one
should not go below lvl5. You will live by this skill since this is step
one of your Combo Skills.
- SPIRITUAL SPHERE ABSORPTION this skill can help you when your out of SP
and SP recovery items which msut happen to you.
- SUMMON SPIRIT SPHERE of course! Max this skill since your combo skills
will live by this skill.
- SNAP as admira says this skill works wonders, IMO you can use this skill
in escaping the MVP when you suddenly encounter it. And can also be a
searching tool. (Teleport to a specific place)
- THROW SPIRIT SPHERES/MANIPULATE SPIRIT SPHERES/FINGER OFFENSIVE
This skill can help to neutralize the Hunter's DS and reek in some MVP points.
- ASURA STRIKE/GUILLONTINE FIST
This skill is meant to be triggered when the MVP's life is almost depleted
so use your instinct on this. This will help you to reek in some MVP Points.
[Elite MVP Weapons]=======================================================
As Captain FAI says:
"Most of the players think that just use 4 of the same cards and put it
in the bow and that's the strongest.
Actually no! That's why this game has Elements and Types. The Elite MVP
Weaponis Element Card + Type Card."
Since Monks cannot deal high damages like Hunter's we might end up
using 2 Slot Fist which is quite bad due to the small plus.
Fist are better than the Claw. Even the Claw has a +2 STR on it.
The gap of their ATK is quite large. So go with the Fist.
Proof:
STR at 55+15
Your ATK with Claw: 158
Your ATK with Finger: 167
SO go with the Finger rather than having Claw.
I'll post all the MVP's Elem and type in this part and my recommended
Fist set-up to have.
If there's no 2 Slot Fist, you can have the Studded Knuckles instead.

- XIII. WoE Monk ---------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
For me having Mental Strength/Steel Body is a big plus for us Monks since
most Monks goes for AGI builds. Mental Strength/Steel Body gives us
90 DEF & MDEF, because of this our character's build seems like a Hybrid
of AGi-VIT. And as we all know VIT is "THE" defensive stat for WoE.
It makes us last a little longer. I'm focusing this part on the
use of Mental Strength/Steel Body in WoE. This is the WoE skill for us.
[WOE Skills]==============================================================
I won't post a WoE Skill build, but I will say some Monk support skills that
are essential in WoE.
- BLESSING must be 10 because +10 in your stat can contribute BIG in your
damages and character effectiveness.
- INCREASE AGI must be 10 because Increase Agility will also raise your
ASPD and of course your AGI and Flee rate.
- ANGELUS must be 10 if your build is into VIT. This will influence your
defence in BIG ways.
- RAGING TRIFECTA BLOWS this depends on you but I recommend that this one
should not go below lvl5. You will live by this skill since this is step
one of your Combo Skills.
- MENTAL STRENGTH must have even at level 1. This skill can help you to stay
alive a little longer. 90 DEF & MDEF is big since Monsters can now use
skills and DEF to make your AGI build have that defense boost.
- SPIRITUAL SPHERE ABSORPTION this skill can help you when your out of SP
and SP recovery items which msut happen to you.
- SUMMON SPIRIT SPHERE of course! Max this skill since your combo skills
will live by this skill.
- BODY RELOCATION/SNAP use this skill to get in fast!
[Recon Monk]==============================================================
This supposed to be "Black Project" of mine. Since Monks IMO can stand
alone a little longer in WoE becasue of their Mental Strength/Steel Body
and Snap/Body Relocation skill. These skills will only come in once you're
caught.
Q:What makes a Recon Monk?
A:First let's talk about the equipments of a recon monk.
The "must have" is the Guard [Frilldora] Hood/Muffler for cloaking.
Don't worry about the Hunters because once your guild comes in they'll
be too busy DS'ng and have absolutely no time to use detect.
Priest and Wizs can be a trouble but some of them are too dumb to use
Sight and Ruwach because they'll think that it is just a waste in SP.
Q: How do I operate?
A: First don't forget to Buff yourself up (Inc. AGi and Blessing).
Then in the heat of the battle, cling to a wall and use the
Cloaking skill and move fast and also hope that you weren't notice
by the defenders cloaking.
MOVE FAST since Cloaking works for a limited time only.
AGI up will help you in this.
BE PRECISE in dragging and pointing your mouse pointer since if you
accidently clicked the wrong cell (cell away from the wall).
The Cloaking skill will be automatically canceled out.
SNAP your way in.
Q: If I got caught?
A: Use MENTAL STRENGTH/STEEL BODY and approach the nearest opponent
and Combo him/her or don't use MENTAL STRENGTH/STEEL BODY but instead
use the 1-2-3-4 Combo
(Triple Blow -> Quad Blow -> Way Of Dragon -> Asura Strike).
Use SNAP and SNAP your way either in or out to regain contact with your
guildmate.
Q: What is my objective?
A: Report how many characters are there and what classes are they.
And if the Emperium Room is being guarded or just simply ambush
the crowd and make a diversion.
Q: I can't connect my Combo since MENTAL STRENGTH/STEEL BODY bans you
from using Active skills.
A: Raging Trifecta is your hope or... Use a +10 Tri-Bloody Chain >_<.
Or simply cancel it and use your skills.
[�ighting Monk]===========================================================
This part is somewhat a PvP guide. I'll go with the 2-1 jobs first.
PRIESTS - Priest especially support ones are hard to take down probably
because they have lots of SP and has a greater SP regenaration
Try to have a Silence Fist and silence them then combo.
Battle Priest are easy since they are almost like you.
But as my Poring said "Stay away from those mace wielding
Priest!" they still are strong since they have all the support
skills for themselves. Try to silence and combo. But be more
careful since they have Kyrie Eleison.
VIT priest should be given priority, OCCULT IMPACTION is the thing.
KNIGHTS - Fighting a VIT knight is absolutely tough! Due to their high
RDM and life, plus they recover HP every 10 seconds.
If you have Occult Impaction/Investigate then use the skill
against them. But still you'll have a problem the Lancers usually
have a +10 Quad Bloddy Pike and a +X Crainial Buckler and that is
not the end of it yet. They also have that Auto-Counter Skill
that will stop you from attacking normal attacks. Just try not to
fight 1vs1 with a VIT knight and also Hybrid ones.
AGI Knights are somewhat easier, just be sure that you avoid their
Auto-Counter and equip Ancient Fists.
ASSASSINS - Crit ones are your #1 problem since Crits don't miss and most
of them are Katarsins. Try to avoid them or just Throw Spirits
the, if you have it. Or if you're sacrificing use all your SP
and 1 Hit KO him/her with GUILLONTINE FIST. That'll probably
shut him/her up. Daggersins will be somehow easy but a
silencing dagger will surely shut you up. Try to MENTAL STRENGTH
your self up and Raging Trifecta him/her and then cancel the
MENTAL STRENGTH. MENTAL STRENGTH will reduce the Daggersin's
attack greatly. This will make you look like a VIT type.
WIZARDS - Try to INCREASE AGILITY yourself up and approach him/her as fast as
possible. If he/she attemps to cast a spell on you try to have a
Hiding Clip or a Guard Muffler to cancel the skill out and approach
for the kill. If not try to MENTAL STRENGTH yourself up to reduce
the onslauht of their weapons of mass destruction. Then cancel it
out and combo him/her for the kill.
HUNTERS - This is the PvP Class, they are so arrogant when it comes to PvP.
Try to have a Ancient Fist and use MENTAL STRENGTH on them.
Just don't let them run away on you, use INCREASE AGILITY before
using MENTAL STRENGTH so you can catch up to them.
The MENTAL STRENGTH will reduce their massive damage and
GUILLONTINE FIST will absolutely shut them up but if you're a
Combo Monk your only hope is Raging Trifecta Blow.
Use Pneuma if have it and storm him/her with Throw Spirir Sphere.
BLACKSMITH - Hail the almigty Hammerfal-Mammonite. Try to avoid this combo
and you should be fine.. well almost since they can pack-up
500+ red pots in their Cart. Just be careful and you will be
just fine.
CRUSADERS - Shield Reflect shows no threat to us due to it reflects the
"amount of the full damage taken from an enemy".
Therefore if you can knock them down in 1 blow
(Guillontine Fist) then it will be too late for them.
Their Guard skill poses a little threat to your prowess
because it perfect dodges an attack. If your gonna
Guillontine him/her then your risking. Try to combo.
MONK - It is quite a race here due to some Monks will try to Guillontine
you first. It's basically a race. Combo in the other hand is diffrent.
If your a Guillontine then use it, if a Combo then go Hand to Hand
with him/her. The most Hits and ATK STR will win.

Here are the cards that B.A.'s will find useful. They are classified

- XV. Leveling Spots -----------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
All the things I will mention here are from my experience as a B.A.
for the 4th time. But this will also depend on your money, equipments,
patience and friends as *Edge says.
1-10: All monsters that in the map that is 1map away from cities.
I recommend that you level up in the Sograt desert and battle those
Drops, Condors, Pickies and Super Pickies.
11-20: Go to the Rocker Fields and battle them or if you're daring you
can always try the Ambernites. If you have yourself a good party or a
friend that is in a high level you can ask him to tank you in the
Byalan island (I did this).
21-30: Try the culverts if you want and also try Payon lv2. I stick to
Byalan by this level until Blevel 50. ^_^ the place is good up to level 2
that is. the aggressiveness is low and you can get yourself to rest.
31-40: Stick to one place. I recommend Byalan or Orc Dungeon.
41-50: By this time you'll feel the hard time leveling days. If you can
try GH or still stick to the Swordie leveling places.
Because usually places that swordies use to level are also good
for BA's. If you have Mocking Muffler try training with Sohees just
offensive bless 'em.
51-60: Haaayy..... This is the semi-boring years I would say. If your AGI
is high enough you could always try the Sohees. (Bonguns are a pain in the
neck!) Again if you have Mocking Muffler you can try out the Nightmares
in St.Abbey, Glast Heim. Just off. Bless Nightmare and Evil Druid, run
away from Joker and bring your self a elem weapon atleast a Very Strong
Elemental weapon.
61-70: You can have your Job Change by these level if your going for the
Jlvl50 Change. Stick to Sohees or Mummies if your daring.
71-80: By this level, Try the GH or Alde Baran Dungeon and by the way...
Your by yourself by now... It's up to you to find yourself a good leveling
spot.
81+: 80+!? Why don't join our guild? hehehe ^_^ Try MVP'ng.

- XVII. FAQ's ------------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Q:Is over upgrading recommended?
A: Of course yes! but if you're going for the MENTAL STRENGTH you
may not prioritize over upgrading but still a +6 Equips is good enough.
Q:Some basic equips for Monks?
A: (From RO-Universe, Hellsing.Laine)
Weapon
For the monks, they have two options to choose from � a mace or a fist.
Mace
- Higher reusability from acolyte/battle priests
- More damage
- Safer to upgrade. As its possible to get more than 1 chain.
- More suitable for Manual Cast Asura/ Manipulate Spirit Sphere/Psychic Wave
- Better slot for cards
- Slower attack speed but still works with combos.
Knuckles
- Only usable for monks
- Dangerous to upgrade. Only 1-3 slotted 50atk claw is of actual use.
- Lower damage
- Faster attack speed
- Easier to achieve combo mode as faster attack rate denotes more chances to
activate triple blows
- Currently, only the 3 slotted knuckles from monk is
actually of usability.
- The proper slotted knuckles(efficient ones not those nonsense NPC sold ones)
come in Amatsu update.
Armour
- Pecopeco: 10% more HP is good for VIT Monks.
- Pupa: 700 More life. More suitable for those that have low or no vitality.
(But YOU must have atleast 34+ Vit in your Build!)
- Roda Frog: Adds less Hit Points than both pecopeco/pupa but gives a slight
SP boost for Asura Strike. (Asura Gear)
Muffler
- Raydric against hunter/assassin/blacksmith
- Whisper against low dex (Very rare to have low dex in PvP scenarios�)
- Dustiness against wizards. Allows higher survivability against Freeze/JT
Shoes
- Verit: Very versatile. Adds a total of 8% to HP/SP (Corrected)
- Martyr: Adds a total of 10% HP and 1 agility. (Good only for VITs)
- Sohee: An asura strike gear, very rare to use this as HP is more favored
than SP. (Great to have due it will have a +3% SP regen bonus)
Left Hand
- Buckler with Thera Frog -50%(30%?) from Demi-Human type is non-negotiable.
- Ambernite Card. (Adds defense, good for normal leveling.)
Headgear/Accessories
Dependent on the build that you have chosen. The
masquerade which adds 3% damage against human-types
and the Poo Poo hat which reduces damage by 10% are
some good options. Here some good ones.
- Biretta or any Headgear with Willow card (Asura Gear)
- Magician Hat (if can be equipped)
- Solar God Helm (STR+ is really good!)
- Corsair (If you're a VIT)

2. Try to be specific in defining something or when stating what had
happened.
So I won't be e-mailing you back for some questions that'll simply
consume our precious time.
3. I won't be accepting or be opening any mails that have attachments.
4. Check the latest version of the guide before sending in any questions,
chances are that your question might be answered in the newest version of
the guide.
5. If I happen to not reply after three or so days than e-mail me again
nicely and I'll reply ASAP.
6. (PLEASE READ IF YOU WILL E-MAIL ME)
YOU MUST LABEL YOUR MAIL WITH THE GAME TITLE WHETHER A SUBMISSION OR A
QUESTION (E.I. FFX-2 <INSERT ANY TOPIC FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION> OR JUST FFX-2
FOR QUESTIONS OR INQUIRIES). AND PLEASE TYPE PROPERLY!!!
7. Don't be persistent, don't e-mail me the very same question that I've
already answered.
8. Don't send me nonsense e-mails like "How much is..." "Can you buy me
this?"
9. Be nice! Don't use bad words in your mail.
10. No Chain Mails!
Doing anything that isn't allowed will automatically make your address be
blocked from any future mail you might possibly send.
As noted by Weggy:
- DON'T OPEN E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS... EVER! Unless you talk to someone who says
"I'm going to send you a file called blahblah.jpg", never ever open them,
even if they are from someone you know. This is the #1 way virii and other
nasty things are spread.
And...
Some Virus E-Mails sends by themselves through the people in your
address book. Just don't open Attachments especially if it is a .zip/.exe
they are likely to be a Virus.
