So... I have been looking into discussions/opinions in different forums and got mixed responses...

I am currently playing in a high rate, Gracia Epilogue server as a Wind Rider. I will be using S84 equipment, S84 jewelry, water attribute on weapon (based on server). The server has it's own buffer with every possible buff, though Kamael buffs still maintain their low duration.

I have doubts on how I should set up my dyes. I heard since Epilogue, dyes are now +STR and +DEX? Is this right? Wouldn't it cut too much of my HP/CP?

How should I enchant my skills and until what point? Obviously, the higher the better, but until what point will be it decent? I have terrible luck with enchants. Also, what influences the chances of dealing a high lethal blow? Which enchanted skills? I get awfully confused with the wording of the skill (Effectiveness, power, critical power, chance, etc).

How do I add an attribute to 300? Usually, I could only get it to 150 with the stones that I got from Chimeras in Battered Lands.

Focus Chance says "For 2 minutes, decreases frontal critical attack rate by 30%, side critical attack rate by 30%, and rear attack rate by 60%. Requires a dagger". Is there something missing here? I am guessing it is supposed to increase side and rear critical rate instead of decreasing.

Is having high evasion in a full-buff server worth it?

These are my doubts for now. I will surely come up with more things as progress. Any help, suggestion, tips is greatly appreciated.

1) use +5 str -5 con +4 wit -4 int
should be enough .. str increases the crit skills' land rate + half kills' land rate

2)under lvl 76 skills (backstab, deadly blow etc) make decent dmg at +15 or more while the 3rd class ones (lethal blow) at +10
if you have water atk element on weapon, enchant ur skills with +water atk (lethal blow with +duel)
enchant ur blows, enchant bluff with +chance, enchant vicious stance with +power, ultimate evasion with +time, passive skills like light mastery with +evasion bcoz +def doesnt give signifiant pdef, boost atk speed with +power and so long ..

3)you need attribute crystals in order to add 300/120 element on weapon/armor
for more info just click me!

4)the description of focus chance/power/death sux .. here's the good ones
focus chance= -30% crit rate from front, +30% crit rate from side, +60% crit rate from back
focus power= -30% crit dmg from front, +30% crit dmg from side, +60% crit dmg from back
focus death= -30% crit dmg from front, blow land rate +60%, +90% crit dmg from back

you said you are wr .. use mortal strike+focus death all the time

5)dont worry, you have shitload of evasion ..

Awesomely helpful... Thank you~

One more question... if a SA has Critical Damage, does it increase skills damage (since it states that they are critical hits)?

if u have full epic set make focus death +15, assasination +15, stabs 20+, mortal strike 20+
and u can use +dex -con instead of +str -con
in other cases keep +str -con

ofc ..crit dmg is #1 SA for daggers

Thanks for everything!


As I said... I did look things up and found mixed responses. Plus, there were a lot of outdated posts and I have no idea when Gracia Epilogue came out, so I could not tell if the responses were still valid. If it bothers you so much, you could just ignore it and not add a reply at all. Moderators don't seem to be against this post.
