Prison Test Zone

Ran Online Indonesia (Episode 2-3: Prison Test Zone)
This is the latest episode in Ran Online Indonesia, Episode 2-3, offering a new map, new monsters, bosses, and equipments. The current maximum level is 180 in Ran Indonesia. As far as I know, there are only a few people in Ran Online Indonesia with their levels above 170.

There are at least 3 players from the Sacred Gate (SG) campus whose level reached 175, they are -LyNn-, `Yuri, and `putty_. All three are archers. As far as I know, `Yuri was the first one at Ran Online Indonesia to reach level 175.

Other players I know whose levels are above 170 include Revalina from Phoenix Hole campus, and natal from Mystic Peak campus. Both Revalina and natal are archers as well.

I am not sure whether there are any other players from Mystic Peak and Phoenix Hole campuses. I am pretty sure there are. As far as I know, aside from the five archers the highest QiGong/Shaman from the Sacred Gate campus is still held by Shikibu at level 169 (+29.56% experience).

I got tired of hunting for experience by the end of October, and got even more tired by November. But with the introduction of the new Prison Test Zone map (minimum requirement to enter is level 170), I am anxious to level up again. But the experience gained from killing monsters are really puny!

Looking at the map of Prison Test Zone, I could not find a red dot, referring to a Non-Playable Character (NPC) where you can save, purchase and/or restock your potions, etc. This probably means that you have to restock or purchase your potions at the NPC located at the Prison Zone map.

Shikibu's Remark: I read from ran.myrusso.com that monsters at Prison Test Zone are "packed tightly." Additionally, they are set as on aggressive mode. In other words, these monsters will seek out the nearest player/s and engage their attacks. Therefore it is indeed wisdom to engage these monsters with a carefully selected party members!

Monsters
Name: Deadly Gamu Gamo

Name: Silver Higad
Level: 188
Skill: Poison Attack
Spawn: Laboratory Waiting Room - Poison Test Center



Shikibu's Remark #1: Since monsters with Poison skill can implement poisonous state to the player, this means that the player's Hit Point (HP) will drop at a certain fixed rate due to the negative status effect. To counter this, the QiGong/Shaman's Revitalize skill is useful.

Another way to prevent or reduce the Poison skill from the monsters is to increase the Poison resistance of your equipments. Currently my level 165 equipments have a +4 Poison resistance, with the exception of my glove, that is, a +5 Poison resistance.

It is also wisdom to increase all the elemental resistance stats with your equipments, because they are useful to resist or handle monsters' or enemies' (during PK time) elemental attacks that come either from their weapons or skills.


Name: Mad Driller
Level: 188
Skill: Next Divides, Mechanical Drill, Revolving Attack
Spawn: Laboratory Waiting Room / Tunnel / 1st & 2nd Laboratory / Waste Management Facility - Poison Test Center


Name: Mad Smasher
Level: 188
Skill: Next Divides, Weird Hand, Revolving Attack
Spawn: Laboratory Waiting Room / Tunnel / 1st & 2nd Laboratory / Waste Management Facility - Poison Test Center


Shikibu's Remark #2: Against monsters with the skill known as Revolving Attack, like the Mad Driller and Mad Smasher, one should be careful because these monsters can cancel your attack/skill. Revolving Attack is not a skill that a QiGong/Shaman of Int/Att type finds friendly at all. In fact, this Revolving Attack is one of the most hated skill from a QiGong/Shaman's point of view. Stand a certain distance away from monsters with Revolving Attack skill! Paralyze/Stone these monsters quickly to slow down their movement ability to conjure the Revolving Attack!

Name: Crazy Bomber
Level: 188
Skill: Bomb Attack
Spawn: 1st & 2nd Laboratory / Waste Management Facility / Special Laboratory - Poison Test Center


Name: Lead Miner
Level: 188
Skill: Iron Hook, Wooden Club Attack
Spawn: Special Laboratory - Poison Test Center



Name: Alien Archer
Level: ???
Skill: ???
Spawn: Poison Test Center

Name: Ultimate Destroyer
Level: 299
Skill: Axe Attack
Spawn: Laboratory 7 or Seventh Laboratory - Poison Test Center



Name: Giant Hawk
Level: 299
Skill: Fist Attack (The most dangerous boss)
Spawn: Laboratory 7 or Seventh Laboratory - Poison Test Center
Profile: Height 6.5 meter
Damage: +/- 2000


Shikibu's Remark #3: With monsters like Giant Hawk and perhaps Ultimate Destroyer, it is wisdom to have your Hit Point (HP) above 2000. I have read from other forums that Giant Hawk's can inflict a damage point of 2000 (and maybe more). My current HP of 1855 (with Genki Aura mastered) will absolutely be horrendous to my ability to fully enjoy fighting against Giant Hawk. But, the consolation comes from the fact that I am only at level 169, it is with much anticipation that by the time I reached higher levels, my HP would surpass the 2000 mark!

New Equipments & Weapons

Shikibu's Remark #4: Since I play a QiGong/Shaman, I will only display the profiles and pictures only related to QiGong/Shaman.

Shikibu's Remark #5: As of Monday, December 24, 2007, the list of Shikibu's key non-attack skills include the following...
  • Inspire (5)
  • Fortify (9)
  • Confusive Strike (9)
  • Revitalize (8)
  • HP Transfer (3)
  • Scroll of Vitality (8)
  • Speed Up (3)
  • Team Agility (9)
  • Frenzy Attack (9)
  • Magnetic Shaft (2)
  • Genki Aura (9)
Additionally, Shikibu's attack skills include the following...
  • Meteor (7)
  • Gravity (9)
  • Wrath of Gaia (2)
  • Scroll of Stone (5)
  • Gaia Dragon Strike (3)
  • Scroll of Flame (4)
  • Vampiric Attack (3)
Shikibu's Final Thoughts

My future plan is with Stat Points is to master Meteor (2 more points), Revitalize
(1 more point), Inspire (5 more points), Titan Will (n/a), Titan Force (n/a), and Magnetic Shaft (n/a).

Remaining skill points will go to either mastering Scroll of Stone, mastering Enhanced Weakening Scroll and Scroll of Weakening, or, mastering Scroll of Stone, Speed Up and HP Transfer.

Character status points will definitely, no doubt whatsoever, go to Vitality.
