Well,i'm lvl 7 and i have a question: There is two equips options(one with more P.Def,and the other with more E.Def) and i dunno which one to use: the monsters that i have killed so far didn't used any skill so i think in this low-level E.Def is useless Am i right? :O
If you use your scouter and select any mob then press 1 you will see some info generated onscreen.
Under the monster are two bars. The top bar is the monster's attack the bottom his defense. If his attack bar is more red he is Melee oriented, Blue is Energy. I have not run into a monster who is 100% of either so it's good to build a set for both strengths. You can do the same with other players for PvP. I use Soul/Focus/Con M-Defense Set and a Soul/Con/Con or Con/Soul/Soul Set for E-Defense.
Drag equipment to your hotbar and switch it on the fly for what you need.
