Hello Everyone!
Long Overdue update to this guide as the new cap and things are new and/or outdated!!
I'm QueenBooms otherwise known as Vylkerine and I have been on and off playing DN since late 40 cap I mained Alchemist till around mid 50 cap and then I started to main Warden/Artillery and I have been playing it since. I wanted to make this guide to help everyone aspiring to play warden in 95 as they are really good with gear! and really fun too! I also wanna thank everyone who helped me with this guide <3
What is a Warden/Artillery?
Wardens are the magic based sharpshooter class of archers. They are based around being a strong consistent DPS class with some mobility and a few i-frames to keep them out of harms way. They have a lot of AoE which makes them great for cleaning trash mobs and vsing large bosses (eg: Dragons) they do rely on your critical strike chance to deal more damage through their stacks for fatal cannonade or fatal guided missiles.
Like other Archers, Wardens grant a few debuffs and a party buff for allies! the cost of playing any other is that they are really squishy but they have a pretty good time at avoiding attacks with i-frames.
Skill Build and General Information:
This is my current build for 95
Stat priority:
1 - FD: Obviously this is the most wanted stat but do not fret as warden has one of few FD buffs meaning we can get to the FD cap faster but as a bonus if we have max FD we still do more instead of diminishing returns most classes would have over capping FD
2 - INT: Main stat for damage and lucky for us gives us crit damage as well so stacking this is a must must.
3 - Crit: We heavily require critical to proc more fatal stacks to spam fatal guided missiles and cannonades.
4 - Crit Dmg: New important stat introduced that makes your crits hit harder caps at 300% and we get 30% for free!
Gearing:
Since gearing in Dragon Nest is now pretty linear for everyone you start off with Neris gear from the blacksmith and if you are new to 95 you get 3 Cerberus Beginner Passes go start a party and clear it 3 times to get 3 Cerberus front paws which exchange for 95 Crests, Talismans, and Dragon Gems for your gear. Get the Neris gear to +10 to start and work your way up to +20 focusing on weapons first Main>Off>Chest Piece>Leg>Hat>Shoe>Gloves.
After getting +20 you can upgrade to Medea tier 1 by crafting an item tuner at the Blacksmith. Repeat the enhancing process with Medea till +20 then using the same item tuner you can upgrade to Medea tier 2.
Once you have Medea tier 2 you can then craft a legendary tuner yo get Calypso tier 1.
Accessories you will obtain from doing the new labyrinth mode that drop at a random chance, all of the accessories are good the earrings are the best if you get the right one for your element. (make sure you convert, any is fine just whatever you can get on your earrings to start off)
Costumes the ones from the cash shop will do or if you are f2p you can get the wonderous sea dragon costume. The stats are really bad but it will work until you save gold for the epic synthesis costume. (This isnt a priority but it is nice to have, focus on your weapons and armor before going for a synthesis costume, unless you want to spend the money)
