MA Rings

[3PointMan]

Ok, one of my next few goals is getting 300 + rank. i know the time and effort envolved but I have a few questions.

 

- Whats the best way to get ranks?

 

- What world should I use?

 

- When I get it, what rings are the best to use? Berserker or Warrior? I won't use seers. I most likely won't use onyx. What are the benefits to Warrior/Berserker/Onyx?

Use world 76(?), the one that only requires four people to start a game. Play siege. Send your units to attack the wall. Five minutes into the game, shoot your units down with cannons (special unit; purchased from special unit table). You'll get a rank every time you do this properly. If you're the last one standing, you'll get two ranks. A lot of people will attempt to kill you, so I actually prefer using heavy units, and I start attacking other people five minutes into it (because by that time, all the suiciders have their ranks and you wont bother them). If you can win a game in less than ten minutes, you're getting ranks faster than by just suiciding, so it's an option, but far less AFKable.

 

The rings have difference uses for different things. A berserker (i) is great for most slayer tasks (assuming melee, and with the possible exceptions of mithril dragons, ice strykewyrms, etc. Use an onyx (i) on those). Onyx (i) is useful for mage and ranged slaying, but switch to seers' (i) or archers' (i) depending on the monster (seers' while maging steel dragons, for example).

 

It's important to note that a dragonstone (i) has only -1 compared to an onyx, but has a negligible cost and doesn't protect over anything important, unlike onyx. This makes a dragonstone (i) one of the better rings for boss hunting. Berserker (i) is also used for corp. I'm not sure if onyx (i) is, too.

There's no point in using heavies and trying to win since you can get max 12 ranks/hr. It's better to just AFK it.

That's true; forgot about that.

Speaking from experience, I would suicide but don't spend all your time looking at another window or tab. Before you know it, you'll have been killed early by a greedy person looking to get better reward credits. You must survive until the 26 minute mark to get a rank.

Uhm isn't the game supposed to be about winning (as fast as possible)? - You make it sound as if it is bad to try to beat your opponents

His goal is 300+ rank, not winning. Trying to win adds variables whereby people ultimately get slower ranks. Suiciding, you can get the max of 12 ranks per hour easily and still have plenty of reward credits if you invest right.

I've done that a few too many times, not because of greed, but because it's funny as hell. You can easily get around that by placing 1-2 units on an adjacent wall and then moving them just before it's time to suicide.
