First off, go here and download gamebooster.

Then, watch the videos on youtube:

Lower your ping

Disable Nagle

DarkSen's Channel - Guides are pretty good.

Remember to turn on gamebooster after downloading.

EDITO: Also, get windmill all the way to rank 1.

Free rebirth to 17 so you can rebirth every three weeks. 'Tis what I do.

And to get your dex up, you rank life skills. Refine first, metallurgy while ranking refine, production mastery and weaving. The dex may not be that good but the possible profits are good. Rank 6 Metallurgy with about 15 sieves combined with Rank 1 Refine and Rank 1 Production Mastery = A solid source of iron ingots, 30k per stack on Tarlach. rghosts is buying them so she can get to Rank 5 Blacksmithing so you can make money off that if you want to.  Chances are, you'll make a good profit while windmilling the zombies for Rank 1 windmill. I made around 700k from the ones I killed for Rank 2 and Rank 1/Master requirements.

Let's review:

Watch youtube vids

Free Rebirth to17

Rank up Windmill to rank 1

Rank up Refine and Metallurgy (+36 dex and + 4 dex [Rank 6 cap])

Rank up Production Mastery (+17 dex)

For ranking weaving, get ready to start buying or hunting leathers as well as getting upgraded gathering knives and spending hours (upon hours waiting for cobwebs in a white spider area)

Cheap Leather: Ciar Normal (Goblin/Goblin Archer/Poison Goblin)

Common Leather: Math Normal (Kobold/Kobold Archer/Poison Kobold)

Fine Leather: Math Normal (Kobold/Kobold Archer/Poison Kobold)

Finally some people are serious in this thread.

I hate DUNGEON FIGHTER. Um, wth is gamebooster?

I have NOT watched all the videos, I've watched ALL the RANGe videos(phail) but no the melee.

Um...what else, oh right would it be possible to change my train direction with those skills?

Gamebooster turns off unnecessary programs running in the backround. Saves RAM usage.

I did originally too. Then I went back and redid it and now I'm lag-free. If it weren't for the fact my computer rejects gamebooster, I'd still be lagless. But at least I've figured out a way of having reduced RAM usage.

*NOTE2*: Not a double post. Just the forums being so dam gey that I couldn't post the quotes in one post. " Non matching quote blocks in post" is the error it gave me >_>

Kitsuneko2:

Why hasn't anybody mentioned using magic-counter? I use it all the time!

o rly?

SirAtticus:

There's really not much that can be done. Aside from having someone show you in game how to fight and strategize, as well as helping you understand the game's mechanics and enemy AI. I do know sometimes words don't exactly do certain things justice in this game. It's best to see and learn, while having it explained. That being said, it's not difficult to learn at all once you grasp the concept. Advice for Rabbie that you've probably heard a thousand times, use ice counter on skeles. They're single aggro IF you let one aggro you 1st, if you rush in and attack one, you allow the AI to multi aggro you. Multi aggro also happens in "mixed" rooms wherein there's more than just the one mob type(I.E. Skeletons and Skeleton Wolves in the same room=multi aggro). I'd offer to help in person, but I haven't the slightest as to what server you play on.

*points*

VongolaPrimo:

Uh Chillian, I have rubber band lag, a bit of skill lag, walking lag, turning lag, flying lag, hotkey's lag(Like inv and Char)........sometimes attack lag.

Yup.

Still?

Well, that will make it very difficult to fight, I think.

Where in god's name is your defence? >:|

Rank it up to at least 9, you take more hits that way.

Ice-Counter wastes MP and is boring....it took me THREE HOURS!! to Ice counter through the WHOLE rabbie...ON TARLACH!!

I still think I should go mage >:/.

I think I didn't disable Nagle right. W/e I'll redo it later....AND DEFENSE ISN'T WORHT IT!!!(Yet)

Oh and if you're all wondering my attack is between 3X-72....that's like as much as my level 19 giant can hit...and I'm level 82 O.o

Re-read my long, edited post, dark. You'll learn stuff.

Edit: And if ice counter is boring, make it not so. Get Rank C counter and Rank 9 Icebolt and go learn to do it properly.

I have a few solutions which should help you:

1: To improve your lag, you should disable the nagle algorithm (just type that on youtube). This improves latency and skill loading lag quite alot, though people find it most helpful with archers. Also, exit all your activity besdies mabinogi (this is just common sense but...).

2: This is not my place to tell you what to do but i really suggest you to start a new character if you want the best build.  You're cp is already quite high from cm and crit and this will make wm training difficult (if you're going for melee char you'll need at least rank 5).  Then again, you must have put alot of work into youre character and restarting will probably be a pain in the butt. For future reference don't rank a skill before you ask someone bout it (trust me, for beginners, some skills are better left untouched).

3: If you're gonna stay on this character, i suggest you to start hammering on that wm, cause thats the skill that will accompany you everywhere and anywhere.  To make ranking wm easier, -cp enchants will help bring down you're total cp and make you're life easier.

Other than that, i think you're character should be able to handle rabbie norm, even without the skills you have right now you should be able to.  Maybe  different battle tactics can help?  Anyways, im in Tarlach server too and you can note me or add me if you need my help on anything.

Here are the reason's why I usually die.

1)I charge smash RUN AT THE MONSTER! I pressed counter thinking that I timed it right(I did, I know I did, I always do), then SUDDENLY I rubber band back to the starting point and since I charge counter too early the monster aggro me and I die.

 2)I accidently talked without pressing "Enter"...guess what happens.

3) Something aggroes me but I already pressed to attack another monster.

4)Running out of skill to use, seriously, okay I smash, counter, Wm....now what?

5)Um.....oh yeah, wasting my Stam on Sitting counter because I'm scared the Skelly might attack D; it's scary.

Yup!

I think this covers much of my strategy.

1)Smash

2)Counter/WM

3)WM/Counter

4)Defense maybe? If it's a skeleton I can just counter because it's fast enough even WITH the delay..but against a skelly wolf...now what?
