248. Muku
The application for the Battle Tournament lasts until tomorrow.
I have to level up all of my skills until then, but it"s way too crowded in the plains.
The players with a headstart really do have an advantage.
249. Kasasagi
>>248
The players who stay up playing during sleeping time are even worse.
250. Ronin2
>>249
You"re one to talk
Well, I guess the same goes for me.
251. Tsuzuki
Never mind that. Has anyone figured out how to get the【Dual Wield】skill?
I"m really curious.
252. Suzune
I think I"ve met the requirements for【Dual Wield】.
I just got the message today.
I haven"t learned the skill yet though.
Because I use spears.
253. Kuukai
I can get the【Dual Wield】skill too.
I haven"t learned it either.
Because I use bows.
254. Tsuzuki
>>252-253
You guys…
Give it to me… ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・
255. Saki
Same with me.
I guess I could learn it since I"m using a shortsword and shield, but I"m a tank.
All the spear and bow users are complaining about getting the【Dual Wield】skill.
Isn"t there something wrong here?
Even though there aren"t that many players with production jobs, a lot of us are able to get the skill.
Maybe it"s easier for us to get it because our DEX is high?
256. Katie
The info popup was different from the usual…
It said that a Skill Link was established, so there must be a number of conditions that need to be met.
In my case, both my Racial Level and weapon level increased at the same time, so I don"t really know what the requirements are.
My gut tells me that you need to increase your weapon level to 5.
>>255
Maybe you"re right too.
257. Ryukahn
>>248
I"m a Farmer, so it doesn"t concern me.
You"d have to be Racial level 6 or 7 like the guide team if you want to make it to the finals anyway.
Leaving that aside, I"m worried that no one"s updating the guide.
Wasn"t there someone who reported a new skill?
258. Goutokuji
>>256
It was the same with the Defense Skill【Heavy Shield】.
My【Shield】was already at level 6.
The skill became available when I had a Racial level up while reaching level 5 on【Block】at the same time.
I"ll put up a hard copy, but I"ll leave out the stats.
（image）
259. Zoey
>>257
It"s the same with the Support Skill【Cooperation】although there were fewer reports,
I think it has something to do with DEX.
260. Claude-Sin
Everyone, calm down.
Remember the name of this game?
It"s AnotherLink Saga Online
Another Link
261. Guren
I didn"t think you"d pay attention to that…
>>258
thx
But getting materials to make large shields costs quite a lot of money, right?
262. Goutokuji
It"s easier on front line players since they don"t have to worry about choosing their skills though.
I"m a little curious about how players would use【Heavy Shield】.
I think it"s a nice combination for a tank with【Heavy Armor】.
But then they"d probably suffer in terms of mobility.
And it"ll also be costly.
NPCs sell large shields for cheap, so you"d have to bear with it.
I made a brand new mace, and it hurt my wallet.
But I"m glad I made it in time for the Battle Tournament.
I"m just about to test it out on monsters.
263. DeMuro
>>255
I want it
I"m also using a short sword and shield, but I"m not a tank
I wanna try it
If I"m using【Dual Wield】, I"m gonna be using Main Gauche in one hand and a Swordbreaker in the other
>>260
A genius has appeared
264. Ryukahn
>>260
I"m convinced.
265. Izumi
>>260
An evil genius
>>263
I wouldn"t pa.s.s up【Dual Wield】. Rapiers would be especially good
I really want it
266. Sankichi
Then do you think that it"s just luck if you get these skills as initial skills?
I had【Cooperation】since the beginning.
267. Tsuzuki
>>262
I wanna fight beside you
268. Ronin2
I"m actually using a【Dual Wield】style.
I"m a Treasure Hunter.
It doesn"t increase your attack power, just the number of attacks you can perform!
But I"m benefiting more from the defensive side since I can block better.
Although it doesn"t help much against heavy attacks.
>>260
Speaking of which, I"ve only ever seen it as ASO.
269. Suzune
What about lances?
Maybe you could equip 2 of them at once
270. Katie
There are so many useless skills though
But I guess you could also say that they give rise to more skills
Even though it"s much better to focus on improving stats rather than getting all the skills you can get
271. Kuukai
>>269
Spears are still fine lol
You"d need 4 hands if you were a bow user lol
272. Muku
>>266
That sounds about right
It"s still somewhat of a mystery skill though
273. Kasasagi
>>270
Now"s the time to train your skills if you wanna make it for the Battle Tournament.
But in any case, I think it"s better overall to improve on the skills that you already have.
I"ve been spending all my Bonus Points on stats.
2 Bonus Points for a Racial level up is very little, but I"m managing somehow.
274. Ryukahn
I"m not really worried about it.
It"s just a matter of using your Bonus Points to increase your stats.
275. Ronin2
>>273-274
This is the skill info thread, lol
Why are you telling us not to learn skills lol
276. Kuukai
Well, that"s because we don"t know enough about the conditions to get【Dual Wield】.
I think we"ll eventually get weapon skills that are upwards compatible, like【Heavy Shield】.
Wouldn"t you be doing well when that happens?
277. Izumi
>>276
Magic skills too
There are only 6 elemental types for now
It"s only appropriate that they"ll have lightning and ice
278. Suzune
>>277
Don"t forget other magic skills like【Summon Magic】,【Song】, and【Instrument】
279. Kasasagi
It"s a bad timing for the Battle Tournament.
I wish it came a little later.
280. Guren
Actually, it"s really effective when you"re suffering from revival status effects.
You gotta recover from those.
281. Ryukahn
Wouldn"t it be nice to have some new skills or moves among players?
There"s a funny Farming meme going on right now.
It"ll be even funnier if it gets real lol
But I"m more interested in rice.
282. Katie
I wish the higher level players would test out stuff more often.
As a human sacrifice lol
283. ClaudeSin
>>280
Don"t become a game addict lololol
284. Izumi
>>282
You"re mean lol

【Round 1】Battle Tournament Who do you think will win? ★1
1. Phio
Here"s my thread.
The outline for the tournament, including the regulations, applications, and schedule are at >>2.
I"m a spear user myself, but a tank with high VIT is the likely winner.
———————————-（Omitted）———————————-
77. zin
>>69
Banned actions in Preliminary and Finals
Using items in Item Boxes
Using recovery items
Using【Spirit Summon】for Elves and【Summon Magic】for Summoners
The guild will fully restore your HP and MP before and after the match
Players who make it to the finals will have their weapons and armor repaired by the Guild Alchemist
Players will receive EXP from matches as per normal
The matches will be held at a 40m×40m parade square with a perpetual barrier
The old parade square is 4-sided, while the new one is 8-sided
If you"re absent at the start time of the match, your opponent wins by default
There are no draws. Wins are determined by remaining HP
Pain settings are at 100%, so be warned
When your HP decreases by over 90%, you lose the match
Overkill doesn"t work in matches
78. Corona
If the match starts from a distance, wouldn"t a high-INT Mage be the winner?
79. Shinjirou
The registration limit is about 1,000 players, right?
Apparently there are a few players who have been planted into the tournament by NPCs
80. zin
>>69
Preliminary 10 minutes per match
Recovery spells are forbidden
The battle log will only be available to the partic.i.p.ants of each match after the fight
There will be 32 players per block in the preliminaries
Only 1 player per block will make it to the finals
The winner would have fought 5 matches
And there will be 32 players in the finals
That makes 32×32, which means 1,024 players in total
The preliminaries will take 3 days, consisting of 992 matches
The finals takes only 1 day, where there will be 31 matches
They probably banned recovery spells to shorten the duration of the matches
81. Klauser
>>78
Magic user with high INT > tank with high VIT
Tank with high VIT > long range bow user
Long range bow user > magic user with high INT
Something like this?
82. Sakurazuka
>>81
It"s not as simple as rock-paper-scissors, right?
A well-balanced spear user will probably put up a good fight, but it"s not a guaranteed win.
Using a short sword and shield, it"ll be a good match unless it"s against a heavy fighter.
Especially those using maces.
It"s even worse against strong spells.
83. Rubin
But doesn"t it depend on the combination of stats and skills?
Spear users may be well-rounded, but mace + shield users are solid too
84. Carlo
You"d have to pump STR
85. Jirou
A real man would shut up and use only a spear
86. zin
>>69
Finals 20 minutes per match
Players can use recovery spells
The combat logs will be broadcast live during matches
They"ll be recorded for reference as well
Those who make it to the finals will get 2 Bonus Points
+2 Bonus Points for each victory in the finals
The winner will receive a Mana Crystal
There will be a vote for best match
87. Guren
In any case, it"s become more important to gain EXP.
That said, it"s still best not to push yourself or act rashly.
88. Rothschild
It looks like people are starting to expose themselves on the forums.
I shouldn"t have done that myself…
89. zin
>>88
You won"t know who your opponent is until the match begins.
I don"t think you have to worry about it until the preliminaries.
It"ll become obvious during finals though lol
That"s the price of fame, right?
Actually, your name is pretty cool lol
90. Erudy
>>77>>80>>86
tyvm
Seriously though, banning【Spirit Summon】for Elves really hurts.
I"ve put a lot of time and effort into it.
91. Konohana
Now that you mention it, Summoners can"t do anything since【Summon Magic】is forbidden
Even if they could, they"re in the losing team anyway
92. Falera
Everyone"s saying that the preliminaries is just a gathering of similar players
That"s boring, right?
Magic users fighting for top DPS
Bow users shooting at each other from a distance
Tanks slowly shaving off each other"s HP
I can"t bear to see it
93. Rothschild
>>92
I don"t wanna see it in the finals
94. Guren
On info threads like this, there"s a lot less self-exposure.
I"m more worried about the guide team coming to a standstill.
95. Jirou
A real man would shut up and strip himself
96. Carlo
But it"s pretty advantageous for a bow user in a wide open s.p.a.ce like the parade square, right?
97. Sakurazuka
>>96
They"ll have a hard time against heavy fighters though.
Even if they had Evil Ant Arrows, the heavies are starting to use better defensive equipment.
The parade square may seem wide, but I think it"s narrow.
What are the bow users going to do in close combat?
Even with a sub-weapon, they can"t do anything against heavies.
98. Tsutsumi
That"s where Dwarves come in handy
I didn"t pump all my stats into STR, but I"ll bet it all on my best attack
99. Crowe
>>98
Thx Dwarf.
What are you gonna do about your speed?
100. Jirou
Why are you worrying about it now
It"s all or nothing
101. Cocoa
>>98-99
I see this pair often, wtf?
Are you stalking each other?
Or are you guys a team?
102. Jouji
Maybe I"ll just declare my partic.i.p.ation
I"m a Fisherman!
Beware my harpoon!
103. Sakurazuka
>>98
Pumping STR isn"t a bad idea, but you shouldn"t ignore your AGI
You can probably ignore your SPI for short battles, although it adds to your MDEF…
It"s a tough choice
104. Mitsurugi
It seems fun just watching the tournament
I feel like making a bet or two
105. Crowe
Maybe I"ll just look forward to the finals?
I"ll probably get stuck on the live thread lol
106. Konohana
>>105
You can make some progress on the guide while everyone else is obsessed with the tournament, you know?
107. Crowe
>>101
Exactly lol
108. Cocoa
>>104
You can"t bet on anything without having any prior information
Maybe you can make a friendly bet with your party members or something
109. Jouji
You"re gonna see the results anyway
110. Jirou
It"ll go one way or the other
There"s a lot you won"t know until you see the fight firsthand
111. Cocoa
>>109-110
I don"t want to see this pair anymore lol
But there aren"t that many Fishermen, right?
Maybe there"s gonna be more if you become famous lol
112. Konohana
>>111
I feel sorry for Elves and Summoners
113. Mitsurugi
>>112
I wonder
Elves are already superior in terms of magic, and they"re good with bows
They can make up for their low VIT if they raise their AGI, right?
Though it also depends on the players" own reflexes
You shouldn"t underestimate Summoners as magic users either
114. Zuou
That"s where Bards come in
Though they"re only good for support (T-T)
115. Cocoa
>>114
Now that"s really bad luck…
Sorry I forgot about Bards

106. Aisu Ikousai [****]

Even if you have a PK specializing job, it"s just like a subcla.s.s
If you"re really fawning over job promotions, then quit PK and be Reborn
107. Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency [****]
It"s really difficult to perform my job when it"s right before the Battle Tournament
There are more players in the plains now
108. Yes I"m Nishimura [****]
>>103
Shut up you lowly PK lol
It would"ve been fine if your target only retaliated, but obviously you"re already busted lol
109. Gathering intelligence [****]
>>104-108
You should do something about your usernames for now
You have no taste for fake names
110. Currently at 27 attempts, 14 wins, and 1 loss [****]
>>108
Just die
111. Aisu Ikousai [****]
I"m saying
You idiots who don"t know the risks of PK should shut up and find out more
You should"ve realized when the system recognized your PK jobs
Even if PK is allowed, it"s not like everyone would let you do it
You"ll only suffer if you don"t keep an eye out for traps
112. Gathering intelligence [****]
Are you talking about the players who got PKed and gained some defensive skills?
That"s not a problem if we improve ourselves, right?
Anything else?
113. Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency [****]
We"ve already talked about the possibility
It"s not weird to think about players getting PKK jobs
It"s only rumors though
But it"s possible, right?
114. From the country of Asuras [****]
It doesn"t matter.
I"ll just quietly hunt some new players
115. Gleaning [****]
That"s fine
Get into trouble at your own risk
Anyway, are there any brave souls who are partic.i.p.ating in the tournament?
116. Aisu Ikousai [****]
Why are you putting yourself out there?
I guess it"s fine if you use【Disguise】
117. Currently at 27 attempts, 14 wins, and 1 loss [****]
While every other player is getting【Protection】, do you really think it"s safe to kill them yourself?
Otherwise, your only option is to find an easy target, but it"s not that easy in the first place, you know?
Even if it"s PK, you"ll get stuck if you don"t cooperate with anyone, you know?
118. Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency [****]
>>117
Isn"t it a little too late?
How does he plan on getting any help?
119. Gathering intelligence [****]
If it"s getting boring, how about taking a break from PK and playing the game instead?
Going east to hunt zombies is pretty fun
120. Clueless [****]
I"d much rather swing a blunt weapon around in the Western Forest lol
I tried hunting zombies with a party on impulse, but we got stuck
You should think about getting a wider set of skills
121. Aisu Ikousai [****]
The time of being able to randomly throw needlefish chins is almost over
Prepare yourselves
122. Yes I"m Muranishi [****]
Are you still cowering from suffering that retaliation?
If you weaklings won"t bother trying again, then there"s no way you"ll have the guts to continue PK lol
Hurry up and get your revenge lolololol
123. Currently at 27 attempts, 14 wins, and 1 loss [****]
You"re boring
124. Gleaning [****]
Even if you try to encourage them
There are players you can"t mess with even if you team up against them
There are some top players like that, and even going up against players with production jobs in Unions is tough
And Summoners have strong monster summons
Bards are troublesome opponents
Treasure Hunters are hard to trap
There are a lot of things that make it hard
It"s up to us to do something about PK getting more difficult
If you wanna play the game normally, you should learn more about it
125. Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency [****]
➲ Polonium
126. Aisu Ikousai [****]
>>125
That"s not even funny lol
But in a broad sense, it"s usable
Besides that, it"s a gimmick
127. Currently at 27 attempts, 14 wins, and 1 loss [****]
It"s a promising gimmick
If I don"t start with an advantage, it"s gonna get tough from here on out
128. Yes I"m Nishimura [****]

PK players can change jobs as well.
However, the job change will correspond to your original job.
