Will it work? I have a lv 139 fonewearl that's gotten boring and annoying as hell to level up. Think it would be easy to just give her a power unit, ata unit and def unit as well as an old power/def mag I have and make her a melee? I only would keep the technique unit so s/d would be at lv 30. I have a Brightness Circle with 4 slots I'm not using, but a shield is uncertain. Thanks for the input. I know there is a FAQ on this, but that's about startig one from scratch, isn't it? Oh, she can't use any more stat mats, just HP mats. She DOES, however, have over 1,000 HP.

Edit- I neglected to mention that she has been a caster for the past 139 levels. >_<

FOnewearl's are very hard to melee, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Your material usage being full may make it very hard for her to melee effectivly, but it's still possible. Just grab a nice power mag, and some god/power units. Maybe a god/arm as well as FOnewearls ata sucks.

Well, she DOES have a base ata of 120 now. I think that's with a mag that has maybe 15 dex on it. It's mainly a mind mag. But the mag I have in mind has no mind and 36 dex on it, so the vulcans with about 35 hit on them SHOULD help, right?

Only problem with that is, guns are NOT melee http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Melee is hunter weapons. (sabers and what not)

Edit: Also, a 5/145/50/0 mag would be best (coughraticough) http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Or possibly 5/150/45/0 like a sato.

sounds like a good idea, my popuri is level 133 and im getting a bit tired of spell casting as melee weapons are obviously more effective after you have given them 100% on that online quest i think its west or east tower. but ofcourse that takes hundred of photon drops and who has that many, i have 16 woohoo! but yes back to your subject the only problem i have encountered is that you cant use a wide veriaty of swords as a forcer, otherwise go for it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, I always carry a set of those on my hunters as well, so I consider them usefull. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif As for the mag, it's not a Rati nor a Sato. I do have two Sato's I raised, but this one is going to be a Nidra I raised a LONG time ago. As for melee, I was going to get her a Soul Earter since I havent been able to ger a Soul Banish. That and maybe that Soul Gladius I have that has 70% hit, or the Chaos Diska with 75% hit. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Actually, I'll posts that mag's stats in a few. After I get my redria ramar into vhard. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Those weapons would be good. Nidra's stats for raising are like a Sato's, so hopefully it would be a 5/150/45/0 mag.

No, I happen to know that it has 50+ def. I raised it a LONG time ago by accident. It does, howener, have 100+ atp.

Edit- I have the Nidra's stats. I think it might work.
dex- 43
pow- 100
dex- 21
mind- 36

Well, wish me luck. I'm reado to try this.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just gave her the mag and qeuipment and I have to laugh. Both her base atp AND base def are maxed with it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I'll never understand FOnewearl meleers http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif (damn you, anwserman! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_argh.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif )

My FOnewearl has been a tech caster for her past 189 levels and I still love playing with her =/

Well, I wish you luck, and also, try to max that ATA of hers, it's actually decent >_>

Why not just start a Hunter? Once you hit hard mode, it's a breeze to level up to Ultimate.

Seriously, do whatever you want, but do you value online play at all? I'm not sure everyone would appreciate your playing style.

1- I have a hunewearl at lv 149 as of this writing.
2- For the 129,435,890,124 time.... I am offline only.

Hehehe, 100 POW is overkill for a FOnewearl!
50 POW on a mag without any mats will max her out at level 200. 104 DEX will max her out at level 200 too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Anyway, cast the J/Z/S/D and you'll do fine. And get a slicer or Soul Eater or Madam's Umbrella or Madam's Parasol and you'll own.

Magic is too repetitive. So melee.

Yeah, all her non-MST stats aren't all that hard to max. x_x; For me it was the same when equipping the Rati, my ATP couldn't even raise too much. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

No it's not. :/ How is making 3-hit combo's with a Vulcan less repetitive...

FOnewearl has 2nd best EVP in game.

Well, if you were a FOmar or FOmarl I would say hell yeah make em Melee!! Maybe even if you were a FOnewman... but a FOney? Ugh....

I'm sorry but don't switch her over to the dark side of the force... it isn't pretty. Just stick to tech casting. I know what you mean by repetetive and boring. That tends to happen if you only play offline. I would have to suggest just coughing up the 8.99 and playing online. =)

The POW should be easy to max on a FOne, since it's only 583, so your mag should have done it, or you should be extremely close.

If I were to go Melee, I'd use my Red Saber, which is pretty good for a FOne.
You can always try to find an Iritista to make a Rainbow Baton. But a Berserk/Spirit Diska of some form would be very kewl.

As for a multi-enemy, the Banish is best bet, but the eater will have to do for now http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Hmm, I've always got nice compliments from other players when I melee and support. They think it's quite unique.

I've stop meleeing because there's no point to it. I have a 159 hune, if I get tired of casting, I could just simply load up my hune.

At lv200, my max EVP will be 799. At 173 or so, fones ATP stops raising for good. Funny though, but my ATP is 566 and THAT still wont max at 200. Only stat that will is DFP for me.
