Greetings, warriors! Librarian Husky here, ready to guide you on your journey to mastery. For those dedicated to enhancing their combat power and perfecting their gear, this guide outlines key strategies I used to surpass 3,000 combat power as a single-account player. With no alternate characters and no external resource farming, these methods focus on daily routines, precise resource management, and strategic upgrades. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the tactics that can elevate your combat power efficiently. Let’s dive in and level up together!

Combat Power and Gear Optimization

Currently, my combat power stands at 3,660, and while I could increase it further, reaching over 3,000 was a key milestone. Below are steps and methods that can help you reach a similar level by optimizing your gear and daily activities.

Obtaining the Special Resistance Medal

One essential task for power progression is acquiring the special resistance medal, which you can earn by visiting Stoneguard Castle and interacting with specific NPCs. This medal is awarded through World Boss events if you secure a high placement. Additionally, completing daily dynamic events provides a steady supply of medals, and World Boss chests occasionally contain them. These medals are highly valuable for crafting epic items. For instance, I crafted a pair of epic pants using these medals, which significantly boosted my combat power.

Crafting and Selling Epic Gear

Crafting powerful gear is central to maintaining high combat power. Even if you don’t need a particular item, crafting it allows you to either equip or sell it for currency. Use your dimensional shards wisely; if you have an extra weapon, use those shards to obtain a chest, which you can either use or sell. By leveraging these items, you’re maximizing your resources. Crafting additional gear for resale is also effective if you’re looking to accumulate funds for future upgrades.

Utilizing Abyss Tokens for Gear

In addition to dimensional shards, Abyss tokens are a valuable currency you may have gathered from completing Abyss dungeons and contracts. Abyss tokens can be used to acquire epic gear comparable to the rewards from quests or dungeon drops. For instance, I obtained my ring and several other gear pieces using Abyss tokens, then sold any extras for locen, which I reinvested in gear. It’s best to use these tokens early, as their value diminishes over time as more players accumulate them, making early optimization critical.

Using Ornate Coins for Epic Skills and Gear

Another valuable resource, ornate coins, can be used to purchase epic items from the shop. These items restock monthly, so it’s essential to regularly buy out these resources to either dismantle them into blue items for skill leveling or keep them to enhance your gear. Aim to have primary skills upgraded to epic level, as this greatly impacts combat power. If your skills aren’t yet epic, leveling them up with resources from the shop should be a priority.

Skill Leveling for Combat Power

Enhancing specific skills directly affects your combat power. For instance, I focused on improving skills like piercing strike and counter barrier, which impact both offensive and defensive capabilities. Additionally, I leveled up a passive skill to level four, contributing to a significant combat power boost. Be sure to purchase ornate coins consistently and allocate them towards skill crafting and leveling, as investing in skill upgrades has a direct impact on combat effectiveness.

Efficient Dungeon Farming

Dungeons provide valuable items and tokens essential for long-term power progression. Even if you don’t need specific items from a dungeon, farming it daily allows you to gather resources for crafting or resale. Always check the auction house or trading house for the most in-demand items and prioritize dungeons accordingly. Currently, I focus on dungeons known for high-value items, ensuring I’m maximizing resources with each run.

Token Farming for Weapon Crafting

To optimize combat power further, I’m focusing on collecting tokens to craft a high-tier weapon, specifically the Duke Magma weapon. Dungeon and contract completion are vital here; each run builds up the tokens necessary for this weapon. Even if you’re unable to obtain rare drops, farming the resources to craft them is a reliable way to maintain steady power progression. Running hundreds of contracts has enabled me to gather epics for resale and apply the profits toward gear upgrades.

Setting Clear Goals for Gear and Traits

Having clear goals for traits and gear simplifies the process of farming and upgrading. For instance, I have a specific build in mind, and every decision, from farming to upgrades, supports this targeted setup. This focused approach ensures efficient use of time and resources, as I know exactly which traits and items will most benefit my combat power progression.

Strategic Shield and Weapon Management

I currently own a Carnic Shield, but I’m waiting to equip it until I acquire the necessary HP trait. Equipping the shield without this trait would lower my overall combat power and damage output. Every day, I monitor the auction house, searching for an HP trait at an affordable price to maximize my budget. This strategy also applies to blue gear, which I still use effectively for specific scenarios, particularly when traits are not yet optimized or when holding off on permanent upgrades.

Weapon Upgrades and Preparation

My current blue weapon will eventually be replaced by the Duke Magma weapon. In preparation, I’m gathering essential traits like critical hit chance, crit hit, and other high-impact traits for a smooth transition. Rather than selling these traits now, I keep them in my storage to ensure I have everything necessary when the upgrade opportunity arises.

Efficient Management of Trait Extraction and Inventory

When considering whether to sell or keep traits, I always evaluate the cost-to-benefit ratio. For lower-value traits (200 locen or less), I hold onto them, as rebuying later could be more expensive. Higher-value traits (600–800 locen) can be worth selling, though keeping these resources often saves trade stones and other essential items. Understanding your build, knowing when to upgrade, and conserving locen effectively improves combat power without excessive spending.

Constant Auction House Monitoring

A top player’s habit is monitoring the auction house for specific traits and items. I often spend more time on the auction house than actively playing, as this enables me to track down high-value traits (e.g., Max HP, skill damage resistance) necessary for my build. Focusing on these details allows for targeted upgrades and continual improvement.

Daily Auction House Strategy for Trait Sniping

Every day, I visit the auction house multiple times, filtering for traits I need, like blue traits for Max Health. For example, I regularly check the cloak section, looking for rare traits. If the listed prices exceed my budget (e.g., cloaks over 200 locen), I wait for prices to drop. This approach lets me snipe items when they hit my target price, making my locen spend more efficient.

Targeted Purchases and Resale for Profit

The same auction house strategy applies to my weapon slots. For instance, I buy swords when their prices dip below 300 locen and sometimes resell them later at a profit. I monitor average prices and lowest available prices, making calculated purchases to maximize locen. Although I’ve only earned around 10K locen, strategic buys have enabled consistent profitability and gradual progress in enhancing gear and traits.

Smart Buying and Selling Strategy

My approach to sales is cautious, buying only when prices are low and selling for a slight profit. This method helps avoid overreliance on daily grinding and allows for consistent currency accumulation. Knowing exactly which gear and traits you need, along with careful monitoring of auction house listings, ensures continuous improvement in equipment.

Efficient Gear Leveling and Trait Management

When aiming for 3,000+ combat power, skill upgrades and high-quality gear are essential. Level epic gear to nine with enhancement stones for maximum benefit, rather than using it partially leveled. For those without fully traited epic gear, retaining well-upgraded blue gear is advisable until a stronger epic set is available. This approach ensures sustainable character progression with minimal resource waste.
