Guard Skill Raising
I always tried to do my best finding ways to raise my "Guard" skill as a monk, but it always stayed at being approximatly half of the number it should be and not raising that often (it was 48 a few days ago)...
But I think I found a way to this and also found a flaw in the equipment Monk players use during leveling up in the beggining of the game!!
Simply put, to during the process of raising "Guard", "Evasion" is your biggest enemy. The more Evasion you have the less you will get hit and the less Guard would take effect.
As a lvl 35 Monk, my evasion skill is around 100.
Recently I realy started looking at my equipment, and I saw that I have some "+Evasion" and "+AGI" equipment... and I thought, "is this the reason?"
I took all my evasion and agility equipment off and bought "-evasion" and -AGI equipment (there is a clouk that has -10 evasion and +2 VIT, as well as Bone earing with +att -evasion).
And guess what! I see my guard skill improve!! I am fighting Easy goblins in Sauromogue (near lower jueno), and I am getting my guard skill up! And when I get hate in a EXP party, it goes up then too! It has gone up from 48 to 53 in a few days! And because it happens more often now, the rate of it increasing will increase (I hope)...
But to all the low lvl monks, I tell you this: Avoid +evasion and +agi until you get your guard skill up. -10 Evasion helped me ALOT... and I have 100 evasion. Imagine what -10 evasion would do when you have 40 evasion...
As of now, I am going to get my WAR (lvl 20) job, put on my H2H weapon, and go tank!! This should raise my Guard up!! (with the -evasion and -agi gear).
