Ok, so your probably thinking, Oh another guide to be a psykeeper.. right?
Well I created this thread to help young mages to hopefully one day become high powered psys one day. It’s my goal to try to help others experiance psy through someone like I did.

Sections:

I – How I Started Off
II – Skills
III – Equips
IV – Pros and Cons
V – Leveling Tips/Thread Dedication

Section One: How I Started Off.
Alright, Well first after I got my job change at level 15, I was kind of stuck on what build I should do.

In the end I decided that I really didn’t want to be a Satan psy or 1v1 as some might call it, because, they really aren’t the fastest levelers. So I finally decided that I wanted to go Cruico to AoE.

So my ideal plan was to go 30 int rest sta up until level 70, then 70-80 I was going to add all sta to even it all up, as a total of 50 int.

Right now at level 80, and from talking to other psys that have had more experience than I have of being a psy, they told me that sta was less important, and that damage (int) is the way to go.

I currently have 138 stam unbuffed/all equips off, and 50 int, unbuffed/all equips off. Fully buffed with max Heap, Patience and equips i have a grand total of 10k hp, and with max mental a total of 2.1k Mp. From now on I’m going full int, and a possibility of going 100 sta rest int later on when I become higher leveled, and more experienced.

Section Two: Skills

Demonology – This skill can be pretty useful in the arena, because it has a really shortened casting time, and deals about 500-1k damage more than Psychic Bomb.

Psychic Bomb – This skill is pretty useful in PvP as well as in leveling if your not quite to 65. Psychic Bomb has a chance of stunning the enemy for a total of 3 seconds.

Cruico Spell – Cruico Spell is probably one of my most favorite psykeeper skills so far. If your a cruico build, you’ll love this skill, and for AoE it helps deal a little extra damage, causing the mobs to die faster.

Satanology – Satanology is basically a skill that stops the enemy where its at so you can blast skills at it, without the enemy coming even close to you. The more Int you have, the longer Satanology will be.

Spirit Bomb – This is probably the best 1v1 skill a mage has, its like satanology in a way, the more int you have, the stronger this skill will be. I’ve seen someone hit 10k with this skill before in pvp, without hc, so it is pretty powerful

Maximum Crisis – This is the AoE move for psys, its not ranged, it only works when the mobs are close to you. For this skill you do not have to have a target locked you can just click Esc and use the skill and it will work just fine.

Psychic Wall – Psychic wall is okay, but I’d say it is maybe one of the lesser used skills with a psy. Its pretty good in AoE if your about to die you can just use it and the mobs will bounce back, or for 1v1 if your cautious about your hp and satan fails, the monster will just go back, the most you can have out at a time is two.

Psychic Square – This skill is the psys other aoe, but with a 10 second cool down, yes, its ranged and believe it or not there are some hit and run psys out there that use this, gathering more mobs at a time, but greater chance of death if they come near.

MASTER SKILL: Special INT mastery – This is the skill that you require after you hit master, when its maxed it gives you +15 Int.

HERO SKILL: Petrifaction – This skill is really only used in PvP, it disables the ability to heal HP, MP, and FP. I think you can use it while you ghunt and not have the giant recover HP, but I’ll have to check into that one.

Section Three: Equips
Alright well this is the section about Equips.

Jewelry

AoE/Cruico Build:

Ok well to explain.
I recommend:
-Stam Rings+5 or above (x2)
-Plug Earrings +7 at the minimum (9 recommended for better defense) (x2)
-Gore Necklace +5-+6
I personally recommend this set up to AoE/Cruico build psys just because its always good to have a little extra steam from the steam rings, and the defense from the plugs help a lot, and the gore is recommended because the more HP you have for AoE/Cruico, the better you are.

Satan/1v1:

I Recommend:
-Int Rings+6 or above (x2)
-Demol Earrings +12 (x2)
-Gore Necklace +6

While Satan psys and 1v1 psys have low hp, they can deal a whole lot of damage with the Int Rings, and the Demol, while at the same time the gore necklace just adds HP

Weapons/Shields For Level 60+

Wands:

Guardian Wand Lv 60:
Effects: Decreasing of Magic Motion Time+10%, DEF+30
–I’ve noticed that most psys start to skip the historic wand. I personally used a G. Wand up until level 80. the magic motion time basically makes it have more damage added up faster, and the extra defense always helps.

Historic Wand Lv. 75:
Effects: INT+5, Max MP+125
–This wand has some good Int add ons, pretty good for 1v1 psys, but I recommend that AoE’s do not use this wand.

Angel Wand Lv. 90:
Effects: Add HP+15%, Add MP+15%
–I recommend that if you have enough money to afford a reduction -10, that you reduce this wand. It is amazing at level 80, because for one reason, your going into the mines and you’ll need all the HP you can possibly get so you can get a lot of mobs.

Ledgendary Golden Wand Lv. 105:
Effects: Add HP+10%, Decreasing of Magic Motion Time+15%
–The only let down about this wand is that your going from a 15% hp and mp, down to cutting off mp and -5% hp. At least theres still a Hp bonus, and the magic motion time, would be awesome if your using Gynas/Geniun

Bloody Wand Lv. 120:
Effects: INT+10, Decreasing of Magic Motion Time+15%, Add HP+20%
–Alright, so this really is the ULTIMATE wand. 1. Going from 10% hp to 20% hp. Keeping the magic motion decrease, and adding more int. Sure, there’s a 2% chance of making one, but honestly, its worth the effort to make.

Shields:
In this section I’m only going to mention the two Shields that I’m planning on using.
[I'm not too big on knowing a lot of info about Shields but ill try my best]

—If you have a shield thats 60+ and it has a good amount of defense, and a REALLY good Sta bonus, I recommend you use that.

Ancient Shield Lv. 57:
–This shield is most commonly used among almost all psys, unless they have a great awakening on another shield, I’m personally using this shield until I’m level 95, when I reduce Toeffin

Toeffin Shield Lv. 105:
–This is going to be the final shield that I’m personally using for my psy, I’m planning on getting a really good bonus of INT on it, so I can eventually have a really good spirit in pvp/good damage while training.

Awakenings:
The "Awaken" process that you can do in Flaris, really benefits a psy becuase, you could get any shield, or if you wanted to have a shot at numerous shields, you could buy low level shields and awaken a lot of those.
But, how it helps a psykeeper, rather than an elementor, psys can awaken their wand and sheild, were as an elementor can only awaken their staff. So you could get like +20 (or above) sta on your wand, then more sta or a lot of int on your sheild, which helps A LOT.

Sets:

Ahes/Anoos Lv. 60:
Set Effect: DEF+40, MP Consumption-13%, INT+10
–This set is pretty good for Satan psys, but I would recommend going and buying the npc set if your AoE/Cruico

Ropang/Roshel Lv. 75:
Set Effect: Def+47, INT+7, MP consumption -15%
–This set is pretty good, but it’s really good if your cruico/AoE to +8 or so this set, if your Satan, you can do it but it won’t be as effective.

Geniun/Gynas Lv. 90:
Set Effect: Def+47, Casting motion -15%, INT+6
–This set is amazing for pvp if you have more casting motion time as well. Every little point in INT counts, so its pretty good. Also Satan/1v1 psys have an advantage with the casting time, dealing out more Spirits = faster killing.

Psykon/Psyuniper Lv. 105:
Set Effect: Def+15%, Ranged Atk Block+15%, Short Atk Block+15%, Add HP+15%
–This set is absolutely AMAZING for AoE psys. at this point you’ll hopefully have a 28% defense suit added onto the 15% defense that this set adds, plus the 10% hp of the LG wand + the 15% of the set, and a lot of block rates going on. Its fabulous.

Mekatro/Mekaron Lv. 105
Set Effect: Def+47, MP consumption -15%, INT+5
–As opposed to the other Level 105 set, this one isn’t the one thats most commonly used by 95+ psys. The MP consumption is pretty nice, but compared to other set effects on psykon/psyuniper, its pretty much nothing. To me I would much rather have Defense, and added HP. You might see some psys using this but honestly, most use the other level 105 set.

Twilight Lv. 120:
Set Effect: ADD DEF+25%, ADD HP+15%, Decreasing of Magic Motion Time+15%, INT+10
–If you can afford this set, uhm.. GET IT. this should hopefully be your Finlay psykeeper set. If you also have bloody wand it adds INT+10, Decreasing of Magic Motion Time+15%, Add HP+20%, so your looking at. +20 Int, Decreasing magic motion time +30%, and Add HP+ 35%. and if you have 28% defense on your suit, you’re looking at 53% ADDED defense, which is AMAZING for AoE.

Section Four: Pros and Cons

We’ll along with every class, and every build, there are going to be pros and cons.

So right now I want to take the time to discuss some of the pros and cons about different psykeeper builds:

Cruico Build:

Pros:
– You level your character really quick
– Your character will be able to fight higher monsters
– Doesn’t need to stack up on Refreshers quite yet
– Cruico psy’s build can gradually transform into an AoE Psykeeper.
– Awesome Hp/Defense
– Can Take up to 10+ mobs at a time usually.
– Don’t have to lock on target for AoE, you can just AoE freely.

Cons:
– You’ll need a fair amount of money for good equips, food, pills
– Cruico builds have to always level with a FS (Full Support Assist) every time they level, so they have good buffs to train on
– Cruico Psys can die very easily, for example, if you spike lag for a while you can get added up crits your assist can’t keep up with healing wise, therefore you and your assist die
– Goes through a lot of money really fast.
– Doesn’t have a very powerful Spirit/Long lasting Satan time.
– Short Range AoE

Satan/Int Build:

Pros:
– Amazing at Giant hunting
– Great Soloers
– Doesn’t require a FS to train with all the time as long as they’re 65+
– Very high satanology time
– Don’t have to waste a lot of money on upgrading Armour
– Pretty Good at making money

Cons:
– If an Argo comes near and you don’t Satan in time, you might as well be done with.
– Always have to spam Refreshers for max mp for good damage.
– Very low defense compared to your average AoE/Cruico Build
– Doesn’t level as fast as AoE/Cruico
– Not too good at AoEing

Section Five: Leveling Tips
Alright, well we all need some help some point at leveling, just to get a guide on where it is that we’re going.

This will probably be a short section, but I’ll try to put as much description as I can.

~One thing that I’ll say is, never take on something you can’t handle

For example:
– One time I was leveling with this one guy, and he kept on telling me to fight bigger mobs, and he thought that the mobs I were at were too easy. But he was the one healing, he wasn’t actually conducting the AoE, so never give in and go to something you can’t handle.

~Expect things you would of never thought you could do.

For example:
– At level 79, being an AoE Psykeeper, I was stuck between captain Wata, and small trees. I knew that the captain wata was good, but people just kept on coming in and taking over my area, and I knew that if I were to AoE at Trees, that I wouldn’t level for a long time, because the spawn was so far away, and most of the monsters would just run away.
So finally, I decided to try something I would of saved till level 80, which is go into the mines. Turned out I could AoE the whole blue room plus 2-4 larva eggs.
So in this case, just trust what you have done with your build that it will come in, when you most need it.

~Last but not least, never let someone judge you by what you can do, in the end you’ll end up smoking them.

Dedication-

— I just really wanted to dedicate this whole thred/guide to one of my best friends that I’ve had throughout all of this. His name is Corey (aka arkspine 10x Psy of Mia)
~He inspired me one day, just to get out there, be different, so I decided to follow that feeling, get out there and make a psy, becuase at the time, Mia didn’t have a whole lot of high leveled psys, and i wanted to be one of the first high level psys.
