Upon reaching level 50, you can obtain a Epic grade weapon chest. While the joy of surpassing the performance of your +4 Unique weapon is brief, you are soon faced with the dilemma of which Epic weapon to choose.
The main concern is whether to prioritize Undead bonus damage to clear the undead-dense Cursed Mountains (Area 39) or to choose a more versatile weapon. We have compared the recommended Epic weapons for each class.
Mage: The All-Rounder 'Reaper's Staff
| Weapon Name | Common Options | Detailed Options |
|---|---|---|
| ★ Reaper's Staff (Bound) | • Epic grade Staff • Weight: 40 (2.17%) • Usable by Mage • Weapon Damage 16 / Magic Damage 2 • MP Recovery 5 • Weapon Damage Prevention • Crafting / Chest Reward (Cannot be sold or stored) | • INT 1 • Damage 3 • Hit 4 • Undead Bonus Damage 20 |
| Devil Wand (Bound) | • INT 2 • Damage 2 • Hit 3 |
For Mages, the Reaper's Staff is the preferred choice. When compared to its competitor, the Devil Wand, the actual effective hit rate is nearly identical once you account for stat bonuses. Ultimately, with similar hit conditions, the Reaper's Staff is superior for early-game farming speed due to its higher base damage and the built-in 20 Undead bonus damage.
Even when entering higher-level hunting grounds, the Reaper's Staff is considered the safer bet, as its base options (excluding INT) are slightly superior. Rather than taking the risk of pushing for high enchantment levels beyond the +4 safety limit, it is recommended to use the Reaper's Staff to grow steadily in the Cursed Mountains before moving on to more advanced areas.
Knight and Ranger: Farming or Progression
| Weapon Name | Common Options | Detailed Options |
|---|---|---|
| Sword of Destruction (Bound) | • Epic grade One-handed Sword • Weight: 40 (0.96%) • Usable by Knight • Weapon Damage 21 / Melee Damage 2 • Crafting / Chest Reward (Cannot be sold or stored) | • STR 2 • Damage 5 • Weapon Damage Prevention |
Soul Blade (Bound) | • Damage 3 • Hit3 • Undead Bonus Damage 20 (※ No Weapon Damage Prevention) |
For Knights, the choice depends clearly on your target hunting grounds. The Soul Blade boasts high efficiency in undead-heavy areas like the Cursed Mountains thanks to its hit bonus and 20 Undead bonus damage. It is ideal for boosting your immediate farming speed.
However, if you are planning a quick transition to higher-level hunting grounds beyond the mountains, you should be cautious. Since there are no suitable undead hunting grounds in current high-level areas, choosing the Soul Blade solely for its Undead bonus damage may leave you lacking firepower later. In this case, the Sword of Destruction, with its high base damage and damage prevention, is the more versatile choice.
| Weapon Name | Common Options | Detailed Options |
|---|---|---|
| Naga's Longbow (Bound) | • Epic grade Longbow • Weight: 40 (1.28%) • Usable by Ranger • Weapon Damage 23 / Ranged Damage 2 • Weapon Damage Prevention • Crafting / Chest Reward (Cannot be sold or stored) | • DEX 2 • Damage 1 • Hit 10 • Penetration effect |
| Soul Bow (Bound) | • Damage 5 • Undead Bonus Damage 20 |
For Rangers, the optimal weapon also depends on the user's playstyle and faction. For general farming-focused users, the Soul Bow is recommended. Since the current meta favors long-term, safe farming in areas like the Undead Ruins or Cursed Mountains over rushing to high-level zones, the Soul Bow's high damage and 20 Undead bonus damage provide tangible benefits.
On the other hand, for competitive players involved in boss fights, PVP, or those actively pushing into high-end content, the Naga's Longbow is a valid choice. It features a +10 hit bonus and a unique penetration effect. When facing boss raids or monsters with damage-reduction properties, this penetration effect is an essential ability for users engaging in diverse content beyond simple farming.
