This guide from the Cabal official forum will help the beginners to level up fast.It tell them how to choose their skill and weapon etc.
using your skill attacks can train your skill(A bit obvious), so if you use a Sword skill, you train your Sword skill, and same for Magic, simple?
When you "Rank Up", you gain some stat points, max HP and MP.
Sword Rank UPs give you Str and Dex, more max HP then MP.
Magic Rank UPs give you Int and Dex, more max MP then HP.
The higher the Rank UP, the more stat points, max HP and MP you gain.
Novice --> Apprentice --> Regular --> Expert --> A.Expert --> Master --> A.Master --> G.Master --> Completer --> Transcender
Each skill, however, actually gives you a slighty different amount of Skill EXP, dependent on cast time and the damage bonuses from the skill (Not from your character stats or damage bonus from equipments). This guide will mention the best skills to use per class later.
It is important to train your Skill (Both Sword and Magic), but it will get boring very quickly. But there is a special type of crafted equipments, called Adept, which will speed up your skill training!
At lower levels, or you find yourself short of cash nearly all the time, you should purchase and use Aramid/Shadowsteel/Citrine equipments, which give +3 Skill EXP (Or +6 Skill EXP in the case of the Warrior's two handed weapons). These can normally be found at around the price of 150k - 200k per piece.
If you are rich or really want to skill with you may purchase those that give +4 Skill EXP, which is the highest Adept crafted item, but the price of these are much more higher, ranging around 1M (or 1kk) per piece.
There are also Adept rings, amulets and braclets, which requirements are based on your character's level.
Adept Ring+0 provide +2 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 40. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Ring+1 provide +3 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 55. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Ring+2 provide +4 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 70. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Ring+3 provide +5 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 85. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Amulet+0 provide +4 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 40. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Amulet+1 provide +6 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 55. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Amulet+2 provide +8 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 70. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Amulet+3 provide +10 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 85. These can be made by crafters.
Adept Bracelet+0 provide +2 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 70.
Adept Bracelet+1 provide +3 Skill EXP, requirement of Level 80.
Two Astral Boards, the Green and Steelblue colours, give +4 Skill EXP, but Astral Boards are very expensive, and is not recommended! Check the price guide of your Server type to see the price of these, and you know what I mean!
The maximum earnable amount of Skill EXP bonus from your equipments is 42. You can have your equipments to gain more then 42, but you don't skill any faster at all!
Therefore, it's wise to simply stop obtaining more or higher adept items once your total reaches 42 or over. But if you don't believe it, you may try it yourself... Even the writer of this guide didn't believe it at first, cause it sounded abit silly.
Final note on crafted Adept equpiments. You will find that most of the Adept Equipments that gives +3 Skill EXP are also at +2 (E.G. Aramid Martialsuit of Adept+2, +3 Skill EXP), it is because when it is created, it is already upgraded to +2 when it results in successful crafting of a +3 Skill EXP.
For +4 Skill EXP, the item comes at a +3 (E.G. Aramid Martialsuit of Adpet+3, +4 Skill EXP).
The Warrior's two handed weapons, however give double the value of the Skill EXP (+6 or +8 respectively).
So after reading,you must know how to increase your skill now.Game on!! The Mmooffers will offer you the Cabal Gold and Cabal Powerleveling.
