1144 Fox build.

OMGiTZDERVIE · 25 Nov 2007

I decided to make a digging character to make money and I was like why not just play it? So i'm asking what skills should I buy and what level should I get it too?

- Pure Da.

My IGN is UltraDigger. Message me : ) & post here if i'm not on.

Attack you should do the following:

Master stone strike
Master Sixth sense (so this gradually so you can still cast it!)
lv 10 shuriken throw
Lv 10 lucky seven

Thats as far as I can remember!

Beware you WILL be chuggin pots regularly! But you easly 100% digging rate WILL make up for it! Invinsible drill when you have the spare points or if your wanting to drill in the high level places....

CujoEX · 25 Nov 2007

Lv 10 Stone Strike (Master Optional)
Master Sixth Sense
Master Shuriken Throw (Optional but Highly Recommended)
Lv 1 Armor Destructor
Master Lucky Seven
Invincible Drill
Master Aura of Luck
Master Item Detector
Master Landmine

*Note*
☼ Don't get Basic Detection. It'll become obsolete once you get Item Detector
☼ Don't get Compound Master. It's barely noticeable and won't help you much with compounding. A waste of TM.
☼ Don't get Precise Pitch during your First or Second Job. Even though it'll help increase your damage, the increment isn't worth the amount of TM spent.

---

If you're going for a Pure Third Job Fox, then save your TM for your Third Job Skills.

If you're going for a Hybrid Third Job Fox (using Lion's Second Job Skills), then you can get Gun Carrier, Invincible Reload, and Gun Booster. If you have decent LK equipments, you can even get Fortune Strike.

I really think mastering ss is essential! thats basicly what you will be using to train for QUITE a while.

And I thought it was not reccomended for foxes to master throw....

Wow, I didn't think anyone would mention this ever again.

Just stick to 1144 Pure DA and follow CujoEX's skill build, only except you might want to consider not getting Item Detector.

Even when mastered it still fails to cast like 30% of the time and has a crappy 10s cooldown.

i still dunno why the reasoning not to master throw... my fox throws practically all the time.... it never misses on the mobs which i could train with... and has lower MP usage than ss... which misses frequently... :inf:

TerraMaster · 26 Nov 2007

I guess it comes down to what you want....

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE hitting 3k on mimics at my level....

With like a tiney dot left that I have to throw on.... unless Sixth is on XD

Im also from the beta days.... and I havent played in a while so im not QUITE up to date....

thexkiller01 · 26 Nov 2007

Pure DA. when ur low lvl you do GODLY damage.
im like a lvl 33 fox. And i do around 2.4k damage on popos.
and to dig. try to get to 90 DA. this will make you detect if there is any item beneath you.
No waste of Drill life

brannyb · 27 Nov 2007

im a 1144 da fox, i mastered ss and sixth sense. I should master shuriken as well? Or just leave it at 10? Since i master ss already. Also, If i job change at lv 50 tm 40 do i lose anything like being able to get my past job skills like ragnarok online?

NegaRutabaga · 27 Nov 2007

I think it depends on how often you expect to use Shuriken Mastery. If you're going to use it as one of your core attack skills......I suggest mastering it then. Especially since Shuriken will eventually be able to 1-hit KO also on physical weak monsters.

You can kill 1 jester with SS, while killing another with SS.

My personal method is to tag monsters with Shuriken, then bash them with Stone Strike. Usually it's an easy 2-hit KO. Although sometimes Shuriken will 1-hit KO on physical weak monsters also. Works well on chipping bosses down too before you rush them with SS....which means less HP potions wasted on tanking.

I just think that if you're going to use an attack often, you might as well master it for damage efficiency.

no... about the losing skills (I dont think it works like that at all for the jobs past novice in RO) I would really reccomend you keep your Throw at 10 if youve mastered ss.

I have 89 DA at lv 55 and im lovin it! im doing 6k dmg on a crit to lv 90 snails! I can 4k OHKO them regardless. and for those stupid moles I just ss then throw a marble at them.

Harus · 27 Nov 2007

So mastering SM and SS is not the right way? what is wrong about Mastering both of them?

I have lv. 10 SM, I Master 6S and I have lv. 7 SS, I use my SM to lv right not because of my low AC, but I heard that once you are higher lv your AC is better, so I am playing to Master SS at some point, I don't really like range attacks, I like close combat, so I guess SM is not for me, but Mastering both would help to hit the monster first with SM, and finishing it off with SS...Right?

thexkiller01 · 27 Nov 2007

its ok to master both of them. But you should put those tm to good uses. Such as for aura of luck in 2nd job. or lucky 7 in first job.

Harus · 28 Nov 2007

So which one would you master SS or SM?

thexkiller01 · 28 Nov 2007

stone strike. This does more damage than SM

Harus · 28 Nov 2007

yeah, what lv are you, and can you tell me why you did 1243?
Did you get the Gun skills? Or do you have a lot of AC so you can hit with SS?

CujoEX · 28 Nov 2007

@TerraMaster And I thought it was not reccomended for foxes to master throw....

It's not a prerequisite of any high level skill (other than Precise Pitch which is a complete waste), but the amount of MP used, low cooltime, and high accuracy, it'll definitely be useful when training. The long range will also help you stay alive. It's not required, but usually recommended.

@Drarin Just stick to 1144 Pure DA and follow CujoEX's skill build, only except you might want to consider not getting Item Detector.

Even when mastered it still fails to cast like 30% of the time and has a crappy 10s cooldown.

It's true that Item Detector fails sometimes (I would say less than 30%), but it is useful when drilling in maps with less item spawns. What I usually do is drill along the edges of the map (where the items mostly spawn) and once in a while cast Item Detector in the middle of the map to see any wandering item spawns.

@brandyb im a 1144 da fox, i mastered ss and sixth sense. I should master shuriken as well? Or just leave it at 10? Since i master ss already. Also, If i job change at lv 50 tm 40 do i lose anything like being able to get my past job skills like ragnarok online?

I mastered both skills with my Fox. During your Second Job, you won't have any other strong skills other than Landmine, which has a 10s cooltime, so using combinations between Stone Strike and Shuriken Master will help kill the monsters quickly.

You will not lose any skills like Ragnorok Online. They will stay in your Skill Inventory.

@Harus So mastering SM and SS is not the right way? what is wrong about Mastering both of them?

I have lv. 10 SM, I Master 6S and I have lv. 7 SS, I use my SM to lv right not because of my low AC, but I heard that once you are higher lv your AC is better, so I am playing to Master SS at some point, I don't really like range attacks, I like close combat, so I guess SM is not for me, but Mastering both would help to hit the monster first with SM, and finishing it off with SS...Right?

Mastering either skills isn't necessary. Like I said before, you don't even have to get Shuriken Master since it's not a prerequisite of any of the future skills, but it's a great skill to have since the MP and cooltime is low and the accuracy is better than Stone Strike.

As for mastering Stone Strike, you only need it to be LV 10 to get LV 1 Armor Destructor to get Lucky Seven -- a great skill to have for Mature Compounding, Blocking, and executing Critical Hits. If it's going to be your main attack, or a secondary attack for combos, then I suggest mastering the skill.

@Harus yeah, what lv are you, and can you tell me why you did 1243?
Did you get the Gun skills? Or do you have a lot of AC so you can hit with SS?

Leave your Magic Growth at 10%. You will NEVER use MA. Any higher than 10% will only be a waste of growth.

Sense can never change. It'll forever stay 40%.

The more Power Growth you have, the more offensive you'll be (melee-wise). If you're a Gunner Fox, you won't need DA. You would have to focus on AC instead. For every additional Power Growth, you'll be losing out on your defensive Charm Growth (HP/DP/HV).

The more Charm you have, the better chance you have in survival. You can stay long range with your Shuriken Master, or you can have a better chance in survival using Stone Strike. If you're into PvP or GvG, it's best to have your Charm Growth at 40% if you're a Power Type, Sense Type, and Charm Type.

thexkiller01 · 28 Nov 2007

well i decided to make a new fox. Its 1144. Its currently lvl 33 right now. And Master six sense. Stone strike. Got gun carrier. Invinsible reload. lvl 2 or 3 gun booster. Tm is lvl 36 i think.
And this was my very first fox. the 1243. I mean not 1234. I thought the 2 to mage will be good for my mp.
And i do about 2.3k damage on green chipmunks. or was it around 2.2k damage

why did you master sixth?! or put any points into it it at all?

as well as the messed graph and you really need only 5 ss at this point!

thexkiller01 · 30 Nov 2007

six sense let you have more DA. the more DA u have the more u gain when used Six Sense. This is a must!
