Summary Table: Priority Options by Class

How to Obtain Excellent Items

The process for obtaining Excellent items with the right options:

Method 1 — Direct Farming:
Kill high-level mobs (Lost Tower 7, Tarkan, Aida, Karutan)
→ Stronger mobs drop Excellent items more frequently
→ Options are random — patience is required

Method 2 — Chaos Machine:
Combine bad Excellent items + Jewels of Chaos/Bless/Soul
→ Chaos Machine combinations can create new Excellent items
→ Failure risk exists depending on the server

Method 3 — Player Trading:
Buy through player-to-player trading
→ Always verify options before closing any trade
→ Items with 2 ideal options are worth significantly more

Prioritization for Players with Limited Zen

If you cannot have the perfect setup immediately, follow this order:

1. First: secure the correct weapon option (this is where damage gain is greatest)
2. Second: helmet with +HP or +Mana (greatest isolated impact per piece)
3. Third: armor with Reduce Damage (survivability)
4. Fourth: complete the remaining pieces gradually
