new here got a question

[ozz665]

What is a good build for a blader. And do you lose items in pvp/pk upon dieing? Sorry to bug you guys. Just trying to learn the game. Thank you:)

1)
You don't lose anything when you die, but when you're past level 10, you get a "Death penalty". It's -X amount of HP+MP until you gain X amount of EXP back.

Bladers are a simple build, Str and dex do the same thing, and you only need around 70 intellegence the whole game.
A build of
Str:200
Int:69
Dex:640

Would be the same as
Str:500
Int:69
Dex:500

Obviously the numbers add up to different amounts, but that's just an example. FYI: Never use auto set button to apply your stats.

You don't lose items in pk
When you pk your name changes color, there's around four levels, and they last from 9 minutes, up to two hours. After the 5th person or so you pk you'll get teleported to jail, where you have to wait some two hours or ridiculous amount of time that nobody can spare. That's why people glitch out.

And you can't use NPCs when your name is any other color but white.(Or party pink)




Edit: I'm not finished.

The red ensquared area shows the growth requierment, needed every ten levels. After level 60 or so, it stands still and you already have like triple the stats it says for you to have. You need to do the growth quest and have those stats to be able to get things like, longer buff durations, aura, bm2, bm1, combo mode, etc.
Like I said, it's only annoying the first 50 levels or so.


Since you're going to be a blader, you should look for items and weapons and such with amp http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/amp.jpg, and critical damage and rate. You can only have a max of 50% rate, so 40 and above will be fine. Rate is shown as blue, damage is shown as yellow/orange.http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/CD.jpg

Deathblow crafts can be of rate or of damage

The name goes something like "_________ Blade of Deathblow +7 (For example)

The crafted damage is shown in a different color text, in this case, it's yellow.
The damage crafts are 6%, 7%, 10%, and 16% as perfect craft. Needless to say, they're expensive.

Here's an example:
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/CD-1.jpg



For rate crafting, it's pretty much the same. The crafts are 3,4,5, and 8.
Here's an example:
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/CD-2.jpg



Amp crafts are the same yet again, and they go like, 3,5, and 7
It can be either magic amp craft, or sword, so watch out.
Obviously you want sword.
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/CD-3.jpg

There's also will crafts, that should only be on boots. It goes something like 75 80 90 100. Pretty much.
There's HP and Mp crafts, so make sure you don't get scammer or anything. You want Hp, ofc.

Example:http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/Album_00/CD-4.jpg

many thanks for all the help. :)

Skill ranks are

Novice
Apprentice
Regular
Expert
A.Expert
Master
A.Master
G.Master
Completer
Transcenderp



Each time you get new skills and new skill slots, and with each rank up, you get more stats, increasing in value every time you rank up

If you notice the magic points you need to skill up are half of what you need for sword, but they go up twice as slow. They're even, so you'll always be "Dual Expert/DualTrans".

Also, with each rank up, you get more upgrades for purchase. These are annoying and exspensive but utterly necessary.
For a blader, you should end up with:
Vitality mastery
Offensive sense
Defensive sense
Damage absorb
Impact control
Sixth sense (All maxed out in level)

I can tell you that if you aren't the highest skill rank you can be at all times, you won't stand a chance. I can't tell you that from experience though, because I never lose at whatever I do.

It's not hard to skill up, you get points every time you attack a monster.
You can also attack Training dummies while you're away. Just make sure you have auto attack on. (Ctrl+A is the hotkey)
You don't get more skill exp for stronger moves or amount of monsters you hit.

http://mmohut.com/wp-content/gallery/cabal-online-overview/cabal-online-training-dummy.jpg
Pic related, it's a couple training dummies.
I advise you to keep impact stab or a low costing MP move in addition to Magic arrow, for faster casts and easier skill ups.

You can also get adept gear to skill faster. It helps, do it!
Crafts are +2 skill, +3 skill, +4 skill.
Aramid is the cheapest and most common. You won't need a higher grade because you won't be getting gang banged by monsters when you're skilling. Unless you're doing it wrong. Your skill bar moves as slow as oprah at the bostom marathon without adept.


Can't find any pictures, but it's a craft and it's pretty simple to find in the agent shop.

i havent seen lethal be this productive for quite a while. but the growth pic was pretty funny cause that guy didnt meet the requirements

Most of the quests give honor points as a reward when you complete them. When you complete a dungeon you also get honor points. The amount of honor earned depends on the quest or dungeon

Once you gain a certain amount of honor, you gain a honor class. The higher the class, the more advantages you will get in the game. You can use better jewelery or buy certain items at NPC you couldn't do before.

Honor titles are sweet, but take forever to obtain. Here's a link to the names:
http://www.cabalwiki.com/wiki/Honor



The easiest way to get honor points is by exchanging WExp acquired from Mission War.

You can join a nation at level 52.

The choices are Procyon(Monarchy, Blue/Black colors/Title=Knight of___) And Cappella(Democracy, Pink/White colors/Title= Praetor of____)

The more nationalistic you are the better it is. Choose Procyon, or i'll backsource your internet and poop down your dog's throat.


Nation war is divided up into five teirs.
God Tier= 150+
High Tier= 130-149
Mid Tier=95-129
Low Tier= 61-94
Sht Tier=52-60

They aren't actually called that, they don't have names.

God-Mid Tier- Is an hour long, and it involves a huge map fighting the opposing nations players and base capturing bases. It's mad fun, I came every time I played it.S


Low-Sht Tier- You pretty much derp around an arena and fight the other nation's low leveled scrubs.


They're both mad fun.

Nation war times are (EST) = 3,6, and 9, on the hour.

You get Wexp from nation war. You can exchange it at the port Lux officer for EXP/Skill EXP/Honor. Honor is the only logical choice to exchange it for because you can get he other two oh so easily.

http://www.cabalwiki.com/w/images/f/f2/CapellaMale.jpg

Pics related, it's the suits you get when you war with Procyon and Capella
(Pretty sure you're a dude, so i'll give you guy style)

Procyon Blader suit has been voted by whoever I asked as the most fresh suit.



Keep up with story quests, so you can choose a nation ASAP.

Since you're playing this game, you should be involved in this cluster we call a forum.


It has some nice options though, it has groups for whatever you're doing in game. They can be found as a crippled mass here:

http://forum.cabal.com/group.php



But since I care about everyone in this game and what they say and their beliefs, I'll make it easy for you.

Imo, the most important group:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=26

Procyon:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=9

Mercury:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=1

Venus:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=2

Cappela:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=12

East:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=4


West:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=23


Draws:http://forum.cabal.com/group.php?groupid=24

Pretty much it.


That's pretty much it. The rest you can figure out with a little intuition and common sense. If not, you can go to www.cabalwiki.com

Hey,quick question....its prolly in this mess somewhere.
Its been ....wow A LONG time since i played Cabal(back when it was the old website with videos and what not OGPlanet i think)......anyways.
Question is..what exactly does "amp." do? its an increase to damage yes? like for example 2 skills with 200add. damage,but 50% and 40% skill amp. the 50% would do more damage?
Also,i heard DEX was best stat for Bladers?

Dex gives the same stat increase as str. Only difference between the 2 is if you go full dex build your stuck wearing martial gear. If you go STR build with some in DEX you can wear armour (Gives more defense but less def rate but there is 2 def rate upgrades) now this all depends on your alz because if one type of gear (Mainly armour on EU) is more expensive compared to martial. Going Armour build blader means you have more chance to solo everything in game.

As for amp it increase's your NON-Crit attack damage meaning you have a better and higher dps but also your vamp/Leech gear works alot more effective compared to being a full Crit damage build with less than 45% crit rate. So yes in your example (After taking in to account the mobs defense and if the 2 skills are non yellow texted) the 50% amp skill would do more damage if the add damage of both skills is the same.

Full dex doesnt mean martial since he needs balance str and dex to use martial.

Amp increases both non crit and crit.

^ what i was just about to say lol. amp increases crits as well as non crits, just not as significant as cd+ equips do.
At high lvls, a blader can wear both armor and martial no problem. Since dex = str stats wise, lvling them even is the same as pumping them all into one stat. I suggest just pumping ur stats till you can wear one gear (either martial or armor) then pump the other stat so you can wear either. In the case of martial, its balance between between str and dex, so u should just lvl them evenly if u wanna wear martial. I prefer armor so i went mainly str till i could wear armor, then pumped dex to make up for the lack of dex so i could wear high lvl martial.

[Kamelotvey]

Interesting...cool.

Not trying to sidetrack or anything but how reliable is def rate in pvp compared to straight def? Every Blader on here seems to value heavy armor over martial, which leads me to believe other class' attack rate is high enough to make the def rate of martial pointless. m i on teh rite trak?

straight 12345 pvp, def rate is useless because you never miss in combo.
