Carmine Ore is used to upgrade the Strength attribute of weapons. When you first upgrade, it'll cost 1 ore but that number will increase the more you upgrade. To upgrade my Saintblade Ragnarok from +14 to +15 it cost me 30 Carmine Ores. From start to finish I ended up using around 250 ores simply…

The Grand Tournament expansion has released for Hearthstone and you can bet that I'm taking a close look at all of the new cards and writing up on which cards are most worth having.  However, it's going to take some time for the new meta game to settle and for the best cards to show…

In this guide we'll be going over how to obtain the rarity 6 rapier weapon, the Ishvalca Avatar. This weapon is rewarded as the Last Attack bonus from fighting Princess Ishvalca in the quest The White Empress. It's a rank 3 mission and advanced which means it's not going to be an easy battle.

The Saintblade Ragnarok is one of the best 1-Handed swords in the entire game. Put together with the Prismblade Exeterna and the damage you will be dealing is unbelievable.

The Implementation is called Original Sword Skill System, which requires you to perform 200 sword skills, and that opens up From Sword Skill to Sword Skill. This one requires you…

Col is the currency of the game and while it's rather generous at the start with giving you 3 million Col, you will soon realize that it's barely enough. Items are dear and your purse will soon run dry. However, there are ways of making Col, and I'll be detailing the most efficient way. Others…

In this guide we will be going over the best way to level up and fast. The best thing about this is you can do this pretty much the moment you can access multiplayer. To help gain experience faster, it does help to have the Gain Experience battle skill and potions but when you're just…

Exact Attacks, or Just Attacks as they were known in the other versions of the game, is a bonus effect when using the Burst Attack skill. It'll lower the risk meter, keep the burst gauge near full as well as doing extra damage. Sounds wonderful right? And it is! It's just not all that easy…

If you're anything like me, you love glamorous vanity items and collectibles in MMOs.
