This guide is mainly based on Exilium server alone and may not be too effective on

other servers as all of the information you will read in this guide is the result of my
more than 1 year PvP experience in this server along with my friends' knowledge
about the game.

INTRODUCTION

Windriders (WR) are daggers of the Elf race. They are one of the most interesting
class to play in this server as they can outplay almost all the classes without too
much effort.
Strengths:

[*=1]Highest DEX = high p. evasion, attack speed, movement speed

[*=1]High CON (2nd to Human) = high HP and resistance to P. abnormal state (stun
attacks)
[*=1]Many Survival skills mostly against fighter classes = dodge, ultimate evasion,
windriding , sprint , elemental heal , spirit barrier (against mages) , and don't forget
HIDE

1163

Weaknesses:

[*=1]Lowest STR = this means you are not the best source of damage however you
do have skills which if used properly will greatly boost your damage output (will
explain later)
[*=1]Naturally weak against nukers/mages in this server
ITEMS

Which Armor and boss jewel should I use to be prepared for PVP?

Vorpal Light Set = mainly for +50% stun resistance and +damage on a critical
attack

Standard Fighter Boss Jewel Set (I'll call it this way)

Blessed Earring of Zaken

Earring of Antharas
Necklace of Frintezza
Ring of Baium
Ring of Queen Ant

If you wanna be more defensive against mages/nukers use the following:

Blessed Earring of Zaken

Earring of Antharas
Blessed Necklace of Freya
Ring of Baium
Ring of Beleth

Striped Mithril Shirt HP

Top-grade Magic Ornament Mithril Belt - PvP Skill Attack

Which Weapon, Weapon Augment, Weapon Element?

Depends on your play style but I personally use the following:

Mamba Edge Dual Daggers (Augment can either be passive MDEF or PDEF)
Butcher Blades (Augment can either be passive MDEF or PDEF)
Icarus Dual Daggers - Confusion (passive EVASION)
In my opinion there is no standard element on weapon as it always depends on your
skill enchantment route and armor elements as well as element buffs

DYES

The following are the most effective ones for WR however you can change them in
accordance to your play style.
+4 DEX -4STR = greatly increases your evasion, movement speed, skill casting
speed
+4 CON -4STR = +HP , +resistance to stun attacks
+4 WIT -4INT = it greatly improves your casting speed in terms of using your
elemental heal

SUBCLASS SKILLS

The following are the most effective ones for WR however you can change them in
accordance to your play style.

Enchanter Ability - Barrier = Has a chance to grant invincibility while being

attacked.

If your fingers are quick enough, 3 seconds of this will enable you to heal FULL HP

Knight Ability - Defense = Has a chance to increase P.def / M.def while being
attacked
Rouge Ability - Evasion = Increase Evasion
Knight Ability - Boost HP = Increases Max HP
Warrior Ability - Resist Mental = Increase resistance to Sleep, Hold, Paralize, Shock
and Buff-Cancel attacks.

:pI wont tell you which of these 3 skills Layejavou has, so it depends on your
game play.

and ofcourse if you are as cool as Layejavou use HEROIC VALOR :cool:

I made this thread so you will have a little idea about preparing your WR. I will be
making another guide which focuses on the pvp play, for example how to maximize
your damage and own a fully geared mage or any other class, how to run away
when 50 people are chasing you, etc..
