Best Licenses?
 

My fighter is 29 now and I am sitting on my +4 ZK sword and wondering what Licenses to put on it. It seems to me that the best set for the lower level is as follows:

15: Mara Pirate Elites, Speedy Boogies, Mara Pirate Mauraders
20: (early) Glow Wolves, Marlone Megatons, Gold Slimes
20: (late) Ice Vivi's, Spiders, Zombies(or maybe bats)

So what is the best set early or late for the level 30 weapons? I have seen alot of people with Hob licenses and zombie licenses.

It depends on what you're planning on using the sword for. If you are going to solo grind much, then put the relevant license(s) on for faster kills. Otherwise, Ice ViVi licenses can give +1% crit to the weapon and it is the fastest to kill amongst your other options =/

Personally I think the lv 30-40 range passes rather quickly that spending time grinding up any license is a waste of time. With the exception of +9 lv 30 weapons, in which case put on... an Orc License would be a good idea :D

I got the +1 crit% from a Glow Wolf Lic. I guess there a handful for each level that give said bonus.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but can the bonus crit% be stacked by different lic? Like my glow wolf lic stacking 1% crit with a ice vivi lic 1% crit for +2% crit?

+crit% do not stack. Highest is used.

Oh well, still cool to get the titles as I grind with my cleric. (=

My friend complained a lot as a fighter killing Ice Vivi, coz fighters have low magic defence, and not to mention the annoying speed decrease debuff...

I think zombie is a good license, as there's quite a lot of them in MT (they appear in various areas)... my old lvl 30 hammer had a complete flying staff license too, but i could imagine that might get a bit hectic as flying staff is always with a masic staff...

u probably wont want to put on a license of a mob thats already green to you, coz u cant lvl a license from a gray mob... and if u level in the process (which is quite likely as it takes like 600 kills) and they turn gray.. it'll be a waste of time...

as far as i know, the licence for any monster higher then lv20 can go up to 'destroyer' which gives 40% dmg and 1% crit. grave robber for example are lv21 mobs
Baby werebear (lv36) still maxes at +1% crit tho
Ghost (lv37) can go up to 50% dmg and 2% crit (Slayer title)
Werebear (lv44) goes up to 60% dmg and 3% crit (Terminator)
Harkan (lv50): 70% dmg, 4% crit (Annihilator)
Archon Junior (lv60): 80% dmg, 5% crit (Conqueror)

imho, the best licences are for monsters.. :
you like
are easy to kill
enough of them there to keep killing non stop
drop nice materials
got to kill many for quests
dont have too bad effects (like poison is really bad if you cant cure it)

Great info Lyoven, I hope that it gets cleaned up and added to the Wiki.

Uh.. its been there for a while... and it has a lot more info than that...
go check it out (under Titles Guide->Weapon Liscense)

But he'll die faster from Ice Vivis since fighters lose a lot of HP going against MP monsters

actually.. i think bats would be quite a good license too... coz there's so many of them around...

yeah it depends
personally i would go with
lvl 25-30 Wild Imp/Spider/Bat
lvl 30-40 Zombie/Grave Wolf/Tomb Fox
or lvl 35+ Bone Imp/Hob/ghost

some of those (like bone imp hob fox wolf and ghost could be hard to get)
it seems like a good sword so i would go with high 30s monsters i think my first set would be better for a strong lvl 20 though...

thats kinda what i was thinking since all those seem to spawn in the same areas and would be easy to lvl up a license

Thank you ^ ^

i always try to group them in threes
Btw if you really wanted you could have Weakened Ogre/King Coll/Harkan on your lvl 30 but thats like extreme 30s...

Don't even bother at 30, you would never maximize them.

I would suggest placing only a Harkan License on your level 40 weapon, and an Orc License on your level 50. Yes, I know Harkans are rare, but they are also easiest to kill, with good drops for its level. Orcs...Orcs are everywhere.

i'm doing wearbears for lvl 40... they're pretty good too... 1 less crit % than harkans.. though.. but i can kill them a touch faster and there's more of them around

Yeah i put Harkan/Coll on my lvl 30 but i went to Uru pretty early so it wasnt the best move....
Prolly try to get Trumpies Stonies and somthing else on my lvl 50
anyone know a good AEW/FoS group of monsters?

DX I hate licenses. Especially the name imprinted on it. It's harder to sell mainly because ppl don't like having a incomplete license/ur name on it. And it gets realy boring killing the same mob the whole time.

To be honest, I like having my name on an item I licensed. Especially when I enhance it +5 or further. After all, it is a job well done by me with my stamp of approval. I even level the weapon to get the added bonuses and increase it's cost. XD

Thanks Albireo!! I think I will go for the Bone Imp Hob Ghost combo then as it will net me +3 bonus to crit I hope or at least +2. I am so burned out on Ice vivis and spiders...

/function

Agrees if they have a party where they dont have too many dds...
and not unluky like me
Cleric stole about 5 kills in a row that i needed for a liscense by pure luck xP

i work together with my party and told them to back off and let me get last hit! (well no i ask more nicely than that)

works pretty well for us clerics who's slow at killing XD

I think i'll work on some licenses now i got my lvl 30 wep. ;D

So far I have Hob and Ghost. Saving the last spot right now. Might put Earth Spider instead of bone imp as the spiders drop scroll making loot and the imps don't seem to be itemized. Or just have a lame drop rate. Thanks for the advice guys.

/function

ps. Is there a repeatable quest later for any of these?

for hobs and spiders, yes
and yeah, imps stun :F

Reviving this topic as im not getting to level 40 and want some info on 40s.

So to rehash:

LvL15 weapon
Mara Elite
Mara Mauraders
Speed Boogies

LvL20 early
Glow Wolfs

LVL20 Late
Ice Vivi
Spider
Wild Imp or bats

LvL30s Early
Hobs
Ghost

LVL 30s Late
Weakend Ogres
Harkens

Lvl 40s early
??

LVL 40s Late
??

Thats what I think for Fighter who always has cleric with him. I thought the Hobs and Ghosts would be better late but they are too easy now in my late 40s. I think harkens and stuff is too low to fight in 40s with good xp. Any one know if orcs might be good for mid to late 40s? They give +5% if you can complete it. I have +9 GGk cutlass in the bank waiting for licenses.

/function

40 early Bone Imp/Prock/Harkan/Coll/Ogres

40 Late... werebear i guess(personally dislike)/Harkan/Coll/Ogres

Bone Imps and Procks have quests (might be in high 30s though)

Harkan/Coll/Ogres are good exp and drops

Werebear... repeat quests...but who does those?

personally put Harkan on but never finished it... never even close
depends where you want to train
if you chose CP party use those three, if solo choose the Prock/Imp/Werebear
you can also mix it up.
What class are you because it might be hard to uplvl liscense in party
these are just some thoughts.

I am a fighter that boxes a cleric on my second computer so getting the kill shot isn't an issue. I think Harkens and such will be too low level in the mid to late 40s I can already kill them easily at 36 so by 45 they will be a joke.

I was hoping for a higher level suggestion. I saw somewhere that "orc" gave +5% for a complete license. Thought that might be good if anyone has info.

You do know that Harkans are actually for 45+ players. When you have a lv40 weapon it'd be nice to put on Harkan/Weakened Ogre/King Coll. This is what most will be killing at that level. Plus, if you find them to be easy then finishing the license will be a breeze for you. You'll get that crit bonus in no time.

Orcs do add 5% critical when completed but you're not going to be killing those as easily imo. But never huts to try I suppose.

my moon geste wand with ice vivi lic gives +1 crit id go iewth that :D

Ya, need Conquerer tho.

Anyone know what Level the Orcs are and where to find them? I will try a few out on 40 and see if it is worth the effort. I might just put Harken on one spot to pass a few levels but I want to grind a +5% if I can. Weakend ogre would have been a good one on my ZK sword in the third spot but I am leveling too fast for it to be worth it.

/function

I dont know how to define wat lvl a mob is... (coz everything 10+ levels or w/e higher is red, and it could be lvl 50 or 60 or 70 for all i know XD)

But Orcs can be found in Uruga, just south of town... If you've got a small party, orcs shouldnt be hard to take down... (i, a cleric, duo with a tanker, but we kill pretty slowly) but if you solo.. then u might either burn HEAPS of pots or take forever to kill...
