1.0 Starting Up

There are 3 main classes to choose from, primarily mage, archer, and warrior. Each class provides a different gameplay experience and plays a different role when it comes to team dungeon or guild war.

1.1 Mage

As a mage, you can easily tank and deal sufficient damage to monsters. If you would like to be at the front lines and dealing damage, this class will suit you. 

For skills, I would recommend skills Daylight, Arcane Torrent and Armageddon for AoE damage. Alternatively, Arcane Torrent, Frost Nova and Armageddon for single target scenarios. 

For pets, if you are a free-to-play player, I would recommend Iron Mushroom, Mech Dragon and Pirate. I would go in details for the positioning under the gameplay section.

If you are a pay-to-play player, I would recommend Infernal Beast to be in the lineup, and any other 2 pets that are accessible to you. You could opt for Fire fox if you could get it, or if not, you can revert back to Iron Mushroom, Mech Dragon or Alpha Ape for the 2 remaining slots.

For astrology, I would recommend you to get Storm (redeemable with 1000 astrology points), yellow intelligence, yellow wizardry, Tide (redeemable with 1000 astrology points), destruction and fury. You should prioritize magic attack and damage %.  For your remaining astrology slots, you can go for HP or evasion/crit/hit. Personally, I went for HP to tank. 

For additional stats on equips, I respect the privacy of individual players for their refinery. My personal recommendation is for all equips to have at least 2X MATK stats as it gives damage boost. For the remaining stats, it’s up to your discretion to choose.

1.2 Archer

As an archer, you will have high attack, low defend and moderate health. It’s the highest attack among the 3 classes, and it has the abilities to case status skill.

For skills, I would recommend skills Phoenix Bolts, Thunder Bolts and Eagle Soul for AoE damage. Alternatively, Eagle Soul, Thunder Bolts and Sun Break for single target scenarios.

For pets, if you are a free-to-play player, I would recommend Alpha Ape, Mech Dragon and Pirate. I would go in details for the positioning under the gameplay section.

If you are a pay-to-play player, I would recommend Infernal Beast to be in the lineup, and any other 2 pets that are accessible to you.

For astrology, I would recommend you to get Slaughter (redeemable with 1000 astrology points and yellow courage. Purple star such as destruction, defense and furyis fine too. You should prioritize physical attack and damage %.

For additional stats on equips, I respect the privacy of individual players for their refinery. My personal recommendation is for all equips to have at least 2X PATK stats as it gives damage boost. For the remaining stats, it’s up to your discretion to choose.

1.3 Warrior

As a warrior, you are born to tank damage, get close to enemies or bring them to you then deal sufficient damage around you.

For skills, I would recommend skills sonic attack, thunderbolt slash, and violent windmill before Lvl 65. After Lvl 65, I would recommend war howl, violent windmill, and Dragon Cut. 

For pets, if you are a free-to-play player, I would recommend Alpha Ape, Mech Dragon, and Pirate. I would go in details for the positioning under the gameplay section.

If you are a pay-to-play player, I would recommend Infernal Beast to be in the lineup, and any other 2 pets that are accessible to you.

For astrology, I would recommend you to get Slaughter (redeemable with 1000 astrology points and yellow courage. Purple star such as destruction, defense and furyis fine too. You should prioritize physical attack and damage %.

For additional stats on equips, I respect the privacy of individual players for their refinery. My personal recommendation is for all equips to have at least 2X PATK stats as it gives damage boost. For the remaining stats, it’s up to your discretion to choose.

Summary

In conclusion, as you can see, the stats required and pets required for each class is really similar. The only difference is between MATK and PATK. However, everyone has their own build, as I have said, look at the stronger players and you can see that different players have different priorities. Some prefer HP, some prefer DEF, some prefer EVADE, etc. Therefore, do not feel that there is only one way to boost force, try out different stats when it comes to refining or filling up your astrology slots!

Gameplay Hints and Tips

Starting off, I would like to say that this game requires time and consistency to be good at it. The leveling gets slower as you progress but you will eventually get there. Therefore, do not get disheartened when you see stronger players, as they have probably started way earlier.

Let’s start off with a few general tips. 

1) Login Daily
This will give you daily login gifts and of course Diamonds. (Who doesn’t love Diamonds?)

2) Join a Guild
As you complete different Guild achievements, you gain Guild contribution points. These points can be used to redeem useful stuffs in the Guild Shop. (Primarily what I will be mentioning in Inlay - PDEF, MDEF, HP and MANA Gems.)

3) Get Married
You deal extra 5% in damage when you are partied together with your couple. What I always do is, get my couple in the same guild as me, and we do team dungeons together. This allows us to clear daily achievements and guild achievements. There are also marriage available daily, which gives you extra experience! Win-win situation. (A patch is rumored to give a buff to marriage couples, stay tuned!)

4) Be Courteous to Everyone
You have no idea how far this will help you in game. If you need help with team dungeons, (especially LV. 73, 78 Team Dungeon, that is just hard), the stronger players will be more than willing to help the new players out. Not to rude ones though.

5) Get the Monthly Card
It helps you out in a long way. You can finish up the daily 220 achievement points with it, gives you 120 Diamonds daily, and a HP bonus. (Yes, I know it sounds like I’m promoting topping up, but it does give you a huge benefit, and it’s completely optional.) On top of that, it adds to your VIP level! So along the way, as you buy it, you benefit more from VIP level too.

6) Observe
See how the stronger players play out their stats. I respect their privacy, that’s why I’m not divulging too much on their tricks on boosting force via refine/gems, etc. This is for you to find out, and if you play this game long enough, it’s a no brainer. 

7) Pay Attention to the Official Facebook Page
https://www.facebook.com/StarlightLegend.eu/  .There will be events on-going time to time, and you never know what could be in store for you! We are talking about sharing posts events, or monthly sign in events. It takes up minimal time and you get rewarded! 

8) Invest
Get the Investment Scheme going when you are VIP 2. For 500 Diamonds, you get back a lot more Diamonds as you progress, giving you a total of 5k Diamonds in return!

9) Increased EXP
As a VIP 3 or 8, you can also choose to increase the experience given in the EXP valley or Cave of Treasures. Personally, I did it only when I needed the gold, and for experience, I did it up till LV. 65.

10) Increased Points
As a VIP 2 or 7, you can choose to purchase salvage points or altar points in Material Trove or Elf Island. Personally, I did not bother about salvage points because I had enough from offline mode drops. However, i opt for additional altar point everyday as it is really beneficial. However, you can choose to opt for extra salvage points to redeem yellow equips and salvage it for gems!

11) Achievements
You should check out the Achievement tab under bonus, to see if you are qualified for any Achievements, because… free Diamonds. Who doesn’t like it?

12) Daily Trial
For your daily trial up to LV. 60, your final round (10) should give you set fragments if you have 5* for it. Personally, I paid Diamonds to get 5* for my final round as the fragments escalate my process in getting my full set. 

13) Completing Daily Quest
For me, to complete my daily 220 achievements, I do all except for gold mine, consume 500 diamonds, skip either world raid or QnA. You can play around of course. If you chose to use gold mine or consume 500 diamonds, then you can just skip shopping in item shop and raid/QnA. 

2.0 Forge

2.1 Enhance

For enhancing, I would recommend enhancing your weapon, glove, hand and hand in that particular order as it gives you PATK or MATK. The main issue to enhance is the gold needed. I will provide suggestions on how to obtain more gold in section 6.0 where I talk about experience and gold. 

Be sure to make use of the x10 enhance function. It guarantees at least x1 pass, and it helps a lot since the passing rate could be as low as 1% at higher levels. Do not rush into enhancing your items. Always keep some spare gold for your item shop purchases (to complete your daily), and make sure that you have sufficient enhance crystal. The game system will prompt you if you do not have sufficient gold or crystal to enhance x10. 

2.2 Crafting 

For crafting, it is available for VIP 5 and at level 40. It gives you orange quality equipment which is stronger than yellow quality. It is definitely well worth investing in it if you have a lot of diamonds. The items work just like yellow set items just with better stats, so it can act as your replacement item. It costs 32k diamonds from the item shop (For level 80 items and it doesn’t have weapon, hand, hat and outfit.

As for godly ores, you can get them either from privilege gift pack or VIP gift pack. Alternatively, there are events which would give out godly ores as rewards too. For example, astrology event or the lottery event.  

2.3 Salvage

For salvaging, it’s mainly for you to redeem yellow quality items which do not have set bonuses. It works out fine as a substitute while you are saving up fragments for the set items. In section 5.0 leveling guide, I have estimated the level in which you would have obtained the same full set. Bear in mind that it takes time for you to save up the necessary amount of fragments, so use salvage points to redeem for yellow quality items first if you want to!

Alternatively, you can redeem the yellow quality items and salvage them consecutively. If you salvage yellow quality items, it gives you a chance of obtaining fragments in exchange. 

2.4 Redeem

Needless to say, this is where you redeem the set item equipment. 

For level 1 set, you require 5 green fragments and 50 reputation points for each piece. 

For level 40 set, you require 20 green fragments and 200 reputation points for each piece. 

For level 50 set, you require 10 blue fragments and 400 reputation points for each piece. 

For level 60 set, you require 30 blue fragments and 800 reputation points for each piece. 

For level 70 set, you require 20 purple fragments and 1600 reputation points for each piece. 

For level 80 set, you require 40 purple fragments and 2800 reputation points for each piece.

2.5 Inlay

In most cases, it varies on which Gems you can get, try for PDEF, MDEF, HP and MANA Gems. These Gems can be bought in the Guild Shop. If you’re able to get PATT or MATT Gems, they’re a good plus as they boost your damage.

2.6 Combine

This feature allows you to combine Gems that can be embedded inside your equipment. 

It can be used alongside with Magical Dust which prevents Gems from being destroyed while combining them. 

Alternatively, you can use a Supportive Gem which increases the chance of successfully combining Gems. You should use Gems that you don’t need for your job. For example, if you are a Mage, you can use PATT Gems as supportive gems as you don’t need them.

2.7 Refine

Refining is a must when it comes to long term gameplay. It consumes a lot of Diamonds during the process but it will be worthwhile. It allows you to increase your MATT or PATT and increase your stats for survivability if you choose to. The Enhance feature allows you to freely choose which stats you are looking to upgrade.

You receive 3 free chances to refine your equipment every day. (Game resets at 0000HR GMT+8 every day) Bear in mind that these free refines work well at first, giving you random stats, however it will reach a point when it will decrease more often than it increases. When it reaches the above mentioned tipping point, it will be better to lock the stats and refine.

For the amount of Diamonds required:

And, the Maximum Stats for the Equipment are as follows:

3.0 Pet and Their Uses

Having a pet boosts your stats tremendously if done correctly. For guard position 1, it adds MATT and PATT, and for guard position 2, it adds MDEF and PDEF. Needless to say, only mages require MATT and archer/warrior requires PATT.  With regards to which pet is to be placed on which position, it depends on the different pets that you have. 

3.1 Let’s start with  Altar, the place where it all begins.
 

Let’s start with the Altar, where it all begins. 

Elite
It gives you Grade B to AA Fragments which you can sell if you don’t need them, and then exchange for the appropriate fragment that you need. It also gives you Primary Active Genes which you can exchange at a ratio of 6:1 for Medium Active Genes, and upgrade your pet quality with it.

You get Altar Capsules every day from completing daily achievements (20 when you complete 150 daily achievement points), elf island and occasionally from dungeons, so make sure to draw them as it helps you out bit by bit.

Epic
You have a free draw every day when the game resets at 0000HR (GMT+8). It gives you grade B – AA pets, and if you already have that pet, it gives you the corresponding fragments. My recommendation is to sell them too if you don’t need them, and exchange for what you need. If you are lucky, you get Medium Active Genes too. It can also be used to exchange at a ratio of 6:1 to Advanced Active Genes for upgrading of pet quality. 

Legendary
For this, you require 1980 Diamonds to draw. I recommend newcomers to draw this if they have Diamonds to do so. It guarantees you a Grade S pet, which is really helpful for your guard positions. A gentle reminder is that, you are not able to draw Mech Dragon, Infernal Beast, Shichibukai and Nine Tail Fairy from it. 

If you draw the same pet, you will get the corresponding pet fragment, such as Alpha Ape, Black Devil or Iron Mushroom.

3.2 Short Guide to Positions

As different players’ pets will progress at a different rate, for example, Infernal Beasts that require 40 altar points instead of 16, you have to pay attention to how much stats boost each pets gives you. You can check the amount of stats boost it gives under Pet > Stats > Evolve. 

Effect 2 will only be unlocked when the pet quality is blue. You just have to ensure that the optimal boost should be placed at the appropriate positions, to give you the maximum increase in force value. However, the positions are not fixed, and it’s up to you to choose which pet to use, either for stats boost or their support skill. 

3.3 Pet Quality and the Amount Required

For Pet quality, Pets with different Grades will require different amount of Active Genes.

For Rank B~ AA Pet,

10 Primary Active Genes are needed for 1st time
30 Primary Active Genes are needed for 2nd time
20 Medium Active Genes are needed for 3rd time
50 Medium Active Genes are needed for 4th time
100 Medium Active Genes are needed for 5th time
25 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 6th time
50 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 7th time
75 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 8th time
100 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 9th time
40 Special Active Genes are needed for 10th time
80 Special Active Genes are needed for 11th time
120 Special Active Genes are needed for 12th time
160 Special Active Genes are needed for 13th time
200 Special Active Genes are needed for 14th time

For Rank S~ SS Pet,

15 Primary Active Genes are needed for 1st time
45 Primary Active Genes are needed for 2nd time
30 Medium Active Genes are needed for 3rd time
75 Medium Active Genes are needed for 4th time
150 Medium Active Genes are needed for 5th time
30 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 6th time
60 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 7th time
90 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 8th time
120 Advanced Active Genes are needed for 9th time
80 Special Active Genes are needed for 10th time
140 Special Active Genes are needed for 11th time
200 Special Active Genes are needed for 12th time
260 Special Active Genes are needed for 13th time
320 Special Active Genes are needed for 14th time

3.4For the amount of pet fragments required to upgrade pet star, it should  be as such: 

For the amount of Pet Fragments required to upgrade Pet Star, it should be as such:

For Pet Levels:

You should just focus on leveling your main pets that are equipped. You shouldn’t have an issue with leveling your pet to be as of the same level with you. (Or, I’m just lazy to write out the experience needed.)

4.0 Astrology

Needless to say, Astrology Stars have a direct impact on your stats, and it is important to identify which build you are going for. The Astrology feature will be unlocked when your character reaches Level 20. Subsequent star slots will be unlocked as follows:

2nd Slot- Unlocks at Lv. 25
3rd Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 33
4th Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 41
5th Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 49
6th Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 57
7th Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 65
8th Slot - Unlocks at Lv. 73

5.1 Getting Stars

Advanced 
Basically you are able to obtain all the primary stars which are green, blue and purple quality. You can build up your primary Astrology line up with Advanced draw as you get multiple Star Codex every day. I recommend Destruction (Damage %) as your only purple star, whereas the rest should be of yellow quality.

Extreme
You will receive a free draw every day when the game resets at 0000HR (GMT+8). It gives you purple and yellow quality stars. Even though the chance of drawing a yellow quality star is low, but there is still a likelihood of obtaining what you need from Extreme. 

10 Times
For this, you require 2600 Diamonds to draw. You are able to view a Catalog under the draw button to see what is available. Basically the 10 times draws 10 times of an Extreme draw, but from what players are experiencing, you get an average of 2-3 yellow stars, whereas the rest are Microcosm. It is definitely worth it to draw if you have the spare Diamonds to do. 

However, there are occasional events that are tied alongside with drawing of 10 times. Therefore, you might want to wait for an Astrology event and entitle yourself to more rewards!

5.2 Redemption Star Points

Each time you summon a Star, you will get Redemption Star Points.

Advanced Draw - 1 Redemption Star Points
Extreme Draw - 10 Redemption Star Points
10 Times Draws - 120 Redemption Star Points

With these points, you can redeem the gold stars that are available. I highly recommend that you go for MATT/PATT % first, before going for HP/MP Increase %.

5.0 Leveling Guide and What You Should Do

Well, this is a long and tedious process. I am going to skip through most of the boring details and only highlight what is important. 

LV. 1- 30
This is probably obtainable in a day after you finish up all your quests + daily rounds + anything else that can be completed. It is an easy rush to LV. 30 and you shouldn’t have any worries at this stage. 

The only problem that you may encounter is the lack of potions. I will highly recommend you to use 10 Diamonds to purchase the potions from the item shop instead of using coins. Coins at this stage are crucial in enhancing your equipment, which gives you damage and survivability against monsters. 

As a bonus, this is the best level range to get your VIP privileges as you can get items from the VIP privilege gift bag, and can opt to purchase the additional gift bag with Diamonds. The items included will definitely add a starting boost for starts alongside with the first top-up bonus!

LV. 31 - 40

This level range has nothing much to do either, apart from saving Diamonds and enhancing your equipment. 

In addition to this level range, once you hit LV. 30, you should use your salvage points (obtained by salvaging spare equipment), and redeem a full set for LV. 30. You should see a huge change in force value as you get stronger!

LV. 41 - 50

The key difference is that you are able to grind potions easily by camping at Sky Sand 1. You can auto attack at the goblin spawn area and farm potions there. (That’s what I did anyway, got a decent amount there). 

Furthermore, it’s time to change your equipment to a set! After all these while of saving up your Fragments, it’s time to get the LV. 40 set! You will probably only get the full set at around LV. 45? It varies for different players as it depends on luck whether you will get fragments while salvaging yellow equipment. 

LV. 51 - 60

Remember how I talked about refining? Yes, at this point, you are now able to refine. 

Keep in mind that whenever you equip new equipment now, it will ask you whether you want to inherit the additional stats. You should only check the box if your previous equipment has better stats. For example, refined equipment definitely has better stats, so if you are changing from an LV. 50 equip with refined additional stats to level 60 equipment, check that box. 

However, if you just leveled up to 50, do not check that box as the additional stats for level 50 equipment should be better. That is on the assumption that you did not refine your level 40 equips. In addition, you should do most of your refining here, as it is the cheapest!

LV. 61 Onwards

By now, you should already be a pro in this game, and most players at this range will not be even reading this segment. But if you still like a tip, well, grinding at Dean’s Office gives you a ton of potions and it’s the place for LV. 4 Adventure Chests. You should be able to get your full set at around level 64?

For level 70 range, you should be getting the full set at around level 72. You can choose to grind at Historical Event 1 or 3 for chests.

For set equipment, as I have mentioned in the LV. 41-50 range, that you are probably only getting the full set at around LV. 45? It is the same with the other level ranges. It is tough to be able to exchange the full set as soon as you hit a new level category, but it is still possible. Therefore, some players choose to wear their old sets for bonuses given by it, or if you would like, you can always just change for the salvage points set, which has no set bonuses but better stats. 

A general tip for players is that, you can change the set in a pack of 4-3-3. What do I mean? You can change your equip, hand, hat and outfit first to the next set, which gives you the 4 pieces bonus, and still keeping your 6 pieces set bonus from the lower level set. After which, you can change any 3 lower level set items to the higher level set, obtaining a 3 pieces set bonus, while maintaining the 3 pieces set bonus of the lower level set. Last but not least, just change out the lower level set for the 6 pieces set bonus.

6.0 Coins and Experience

We are down to the last 2 fundamentals of the game. Or rather, 2 out of 3 since Diamonds are really important too. 

Let’s start with Offline Mode vs Grinding Mode. 

Personally, I felt that grinding mode was only really effective at the lower levels, preferably up to LV. 40. From then on, the experience gain is really slow in open field and I would rather just depend on the offline experience to give me my loots. Furthermore, as a VIP, you can choose to multiply your offline experience gains (2x for VIP 5, 4x for VIP 7) and VIP 3 above are able to gain equipment to salvage. You do not waste potions in offline mode, unless you are grinding in an open field with potions drops. 

So therefore, unless you are not a VIP player, then maybe the open field grinding will benefit you more efficiently to get salvage points, coins and experiences.

For gold, you can also use 750 Guild Contribution Points to get 1m gold from your Guild Shop daily, it helps you a lot!
