Since everybody's doing it....xP

What a crusader needs is:

(1) - To decide whether u gonna be Berserker(170passive) / ClassicCruz(210passive).

(2) - How much agi to pump in the leveling stages based on your agi bonuses from your equipment (With lv5 bersek ofc):

The agi required to hit 140/210 aspd with your current %aspd bonus you get from your swords is being specified in the guide here: http://pirate.mmosite.com/guide/crusader_guide_formulas.shtml.
The agi needed for 171 aspd passive with equips is not specified but once u hit 140 aspd passive(with eqps), add agi till 171.

2 x BoI = 14% aspd ->31 agi(140passive)/72 agi(210passive)
2 x DoE = 16% aspd ->29 agi(140passive)/69 agi(210passive) (with Lv10 BloodFrenzy)
2 x BoE = 20% aspd ->27 agi(140passive)/65 agi(210passive)
and ofc there are combinations but its not a good lol mix matching weapons and playing around with stats...and i wouldnt recommend going 210 passives with 5% aspd swords unless they're Lv75 Drakans :3

These values are from Chucks guide...iv only tested the 16% - 69 agi one...and its correct.

Agi required for 171 passive aspd is what i cant find. You should be able to find em out using the simulator pko provides OR once u hit 140aspd with eqps...add agi till 171 aspd (!>_>)

(3) - A Proper Skill Build- If u just think about it is pretty simple....if ur on leveling stage u wanna try and max your bloodfrenzy and get stealth fast (faster aatk speed and stealth if ur in a bad spot) instead of more points in stun or anything else u might think of getting.
Maxing illusion slash and berserk lv5 should be done before 2nd job ofc....and if your new and got no main....dont focus on the fork bonus (lets u leave dual mastery at lv2 but still give 100% effectiveness on ur offhand sword)...cuz ud be farming cash for the fork and ull be having lv2 dual mastery while ur at ur leveling phase which is bad. (Unless u malling that shiz o.o)

(4) - Getting as much as strength as possible:
-Trying to get as much as str from equipment as possible after you've achieved your desired ASPD.
-Getting a high lvl str pet.

(5) - Getting Equipment & Leveling Beyond 41: Boring stuff about where to level....wht cost effective equipments to get and tips on making cash along the way, ya know...buncha unimportant stuff...

After 2nd job advancement ud have about idk 200k atleast from the quest. At ur leveling phase ud have collected some NSS n stuff worth a bit...get the stall skill....sell these valuable stuff uv gathered leveling. (U could buy a 10k guppy at shaitan and sail to treasure gulf to open the NSS....if u feel lucky :3).

So u have a bit of cash....dont buy that damn 200k shitass dragon wings when u starting out....i see ppl doing that lol, instead get yo self sealed lv45 armor/boi....play the game...gather cash and work on getting them runestones to unseal em and maybe get a low lv str with meditation...or just get a lv0 pet and buy meditation and make it learn it. (Thats wht i did...costs around 350k lol 300k for skill and below 50k for the lv0 pet...its worthit...u need sp brah)

(Side Note: Dont leave drops on the ground...pick them up...sell them...especially equipment drops...u can make decent cash this way)

Lv41 - Lv45 Think i did at scorpions lv38 at icicle (google it, they drop a lotta NSS :3). Think the greasy skin lizards lv39 at andes is an alternative...
So once u hit lv45...try some of those lv42 Werewolf warriors at andes/icicle(They got low def)...then maybe hit the mines when ur 46 or 47 (i did werewolfs till 48 if i recall xP)....pumpkin knights are pretty good right now...then maybe around 47 or 48 - try them treants.

When u get Lv50 get them Evanescence Chests to get those neat lil lv50 greaves and gaunts and Ze Spike Of Sistine(if u were unable to get ur hands of 2 x BoI uns like me)...they're pretty good....dont need those unsealed eva gloves/boots. After Lv50 u should go leveling at lv53 ELITE Werewolf Warriors near thundoria or zephr isle ORRRR Lv52 Undead Warriors At Chaldea (The Elite Werewolf got low def like their lv42 versions lmao...u should be able to slice through em...also the undead warriors). U can stick to treants till lv52 if Elite Werewolves/Undead Warriors giving u a hard time.

This lv50-Lv55 was pretty hard for meh....i kinda took a break in between to make a champ for farming(when u lv50 with eva box set eqps....u kinda fit to level ppl to lv41) made a bit cash and bought a goddamn lv20 str pet for 2.5m(20 freaggin stats for 2.5m)....ppl were degrading 1stgen at that particular time lmao...ppl crazy. Taking these lil stops for upgrades is very much recommended :p

Think i started trying those lv55 lizardmen at icicle instead of the Lv55 Angels. Angels die fast but they hit hard and hit u a lot(high hit rate)....the lizardmen are slow..they miss...i can take my time with my melee's. This might be a VERY good time to work on an AoE....cuz further levelup is hard without more def and dodge. (800k for sealed...say 250k = x 5 fels(u can get cheaper)....tef and ja are easy...600k unsealing => around 1.6-1.8m for unsealed AoE)

(A Big Side Note: Forget Ca Claws exist...dont go near it....its shit, i would say the same for Ca Paws...but then for champs they're good but for crus...ur not tanky....u depend on dodge so u dont get hit...and ca paw takes away ur dodge. I know the whole "need movement speed for pk" but then thats why u have ms necks. Low dodge make u take hits....forcing u to rest....wasting time....when u should u cutting through mobs getting exp when they MISS every atk they land on u. Im taking purely PvE...so no capaws for meh)

At Lv55 you should try working on increasing your max cuz Lv60 and above....leveling is slow and u need amps...more max means more number of kills in that double exp period.

From here on out it was killing Lizardmen lv55, Vicious Undead Warrior lv57 (they in the maze above the Guardian Angels) and Blood Thirsty Hunters Lv60(West of Thundoria) my way upto Lv60. Get them lv60 enigma chest gloves/boots....level at Vicious Undeads/Hunters to Lv65.

I didnt think about making a buffer until i hit 60 and maaaaan it made a difference. Get a cleric to lv44 => Lv3 Heal -> Lv10 Harden(Defence Buff) -> Lv2 Spirit Bolt (Non buff stupidass attk skill, pretty useless, but u need it for the other skills) -> Lv10 Spiritual Fire(Damage Buff) -> Lv10 Tempest Boost (Attack Speed Buff). Shouldve made the buffer earlier....makes leveling much less of a pain.

Thats about it...im only at lv64...and lv60 - lv65 leveling phase ur best option is Bloodthirsty Hunters...which is a crazy crowded place...ppl always farm, lvl there...and at around Lv63 u will be forced to use exp amps...i recommend HBs...cuz i wasted a lotta strives cuz certain people are just impatient (strives - 30mins, aint nobody gon wait fo that) and they kill steal, i get shit exp and amp goes to waste...whereas HBs last 15mins and u can pop em accordingly...

Mordo.info is a where i get the co-ords for all the monsters and their details, drops, etc. Remember when your leveling you wanna level at a place where the mobs give u good exp and also die fast. I make alt chars a lot...if you guys know better spots on leveling please do let meh know :D

So this is my little messy crusader guide and some tips iv learned playing the game so far...hope it helps people ya know :3

Cheers.
 
My little tip would be: Level a buffer/healer along with your cruz (if it's possible of course) from the start. It will decrease your exp in the early stages, which can be a pain, but it's a huge long-term investment. When it gets the main skills maxed (spiritual fire, tempest boost and maybe a few points in harden), it's gonna be amazing after promotion, opens up a lot more leveling possibilities, since it can heal too.

You can stop leveling the buffer when it's 41 or whenever you see fit, though leveling it further helps for obvious reasons. A good "life hack" would be to level it whenever you're farming/doing something where it would benefit from the exp and your main wouldn't.

Totally agree to that...shouldve lvled a buffer early on....helps out a lot
