Copied and Pasted From New Era Guild Forums
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"So you want to learn the ways of WuXing... Then you have to know about the sixth secret element of WuXing first..."
"The sixth secret element, Master???"
"Yes my Son... It is called Patience..."
First i wanna loose some words about WuXing itself...
What is WuXing?
You put items into the WuXing Oven and melt them together to one
to manipulate the statistics of the Main Item.
How to use WuXing Oven?
You put different items in the slots of the WuXing Oven and choose a Main Item...
The Result Item will be of the same kind as the Main Item...
The Minor Items u choose will define how the statistics of the Main Item will change...
How to choose the right items?
Well.. this is what this guide will teach you.
What are my WuXing-Creativity-Points (Wxps) good for?
Your Wxps influence the effectiveness of every single WuXing you do.
The higher the Wxps are the better results you will reach.
I will give some examples to this later.
There are two limits you have to break through with your Wxps:
The first is from Wxps 999 to 1000.
Until 999 you will gain one Wxp by every WuXing you do.
To increase them further you will need "Master Lu´s Volumes".
The second is to reach Wxps 1519.
From that moment on you will be able to wux more than two items together at once.
What is Cultivation/Lvl?
Wuxed Items Lvl goes up from 100 to 1000 in steps of 100 each,
after Lvl 1000 Lvl Requirement is replaced by Cultivation Requirement...
When your char goes up in the ranks of Gods, you will gain Cultivation points too...
Items that require cult instead of lvl are higher and give more stat benefits...
To be able to wear an item you must fulfill its Cult/Lvl requirements...
I will use different colors in this guide...
Green are little story lines i add for fun
Normal instructions are white
My personal hints for you i will use yellow for
Most important infos will be red
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Basic WuXing
I recommend that you should hit a few requirements before you start WuXing...
1.: You should have reached Lvl 100, because wuxed items requires at least Lvl 100 to wear them...
2.: You should have done the "Courage Armor/Get An Armor" quest...
3.: You and your pet should be able to fight in "Sword Valley" map...
Ok... like everything in M&M WuXing is based on the 5 elements,
this means every Slot in the WuXing Oven and every Gear Item is related to a special element!
Crim added a nice overview with pics in "Wuxing Oven for the people",
but i will add it in text-form too:
north slot = Slot (12) = Heaven Slot = Element Metal
north-west slot = Slot (11) = Lake Slot = Element Metal
west slot = Slot (9) = Fire Slot = Element Fire
south-west slot = Slot (7) = Thunder Slot = Element Wood
north-east slot = Slot (1) = Wind Slot = Element Wood
east slot = Slot (3) = Water Slot = Element Water
south-east slot = Slot (5) = Mountain Slot = Element Earth
south slot = Slot (6) = Earth Slot = Element Earth
This is the order in which the slots "burn out",
that will become important later in the guide...
Armors = Element Metal = (11) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Def
Weapons = Element Fire = (9) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Att
Belts/Adornments = Element Wood = (7) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Mana
Shoes = Element Water = (3) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Dex
Headwear = Element Earth = (5) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Life
The most basic experience of WuXing is Lvl Up or Down an item...
To Lvl Up an item, which will increase its Main Stat too, put it in its Main Slot.
Choose it as Main Item by a right click on it.
Next add a poison in Slot (12), which i call "Lvl Slot" too.
Hit start and the items will melt together and you gain your Main Item with a higher Lvl-requirement...
The more -Life a poison has the more effective it will Lvl Up your item. Most effectiv are the -5000 Life Poisons, so called: -5k Poison.
Before u hit start to wux your items together always hit Preview first, it will show you the result item even before you wuxed!
To Lvl Down an item, which will decrease its Main Stat too, put it in its "Restraining Slot" (described below).
Choose it as Main Item by right click on it.
Next add a "Stanching Grass" in Slot (12), the "Lvl Slot".
Hit start and the items will melt together and you gain yout Main Item with a lower Lvl-requirement...
Restraining Slots:
Armors in Slot (9)... Metal is restrained by Fire
Weapons in Slot (3)... Fire is restrained by Water
Belts/Adornments in Slot (11)... Wood is restrained by Metal
Shoes in Slot (5)... Water is restrained by Earth
Headwear in Slot (7)... Earth is restrained by Wood
Now you may ask yourself: Where may i buy -5k Poisons???
Well... nowhere! You will wux them yourself!
That will be the first item you wux now:
For now you are able only to wux two items together,
so you will need some wuxing-actions to create it.
Buy a Hallucinogen and 8 Prickers.
You want to increase the Poisons -Life, which is familiar to Attack,
so you put the Poison in the Weapon-Slot (9) and choose it as Main Item.
Add one pricker in Earth Slot (6), which i like to call the "Support-Slot".
Hit start and u will gain a Wuxinged Poison with higher -Life than the Hallucinogen.
Repeat this until your Wuxinged Poison reaches the -5000 Life...
You should need 8 actions to make the Hallucinogen to a -5k Poison...
CONGRATULATIONS! You just wuxed your first item
-5k Poisons are a nice example how your WuXing-Creativity-Points (Wxps) influence the effectiveness of your WuXings...
With Wxps between 1 and 300 you will need to wux 8 Prickers into the Hallucinogen to create a -5k Poison.
With Wxps between 301 and 824 you will need 7 Prickers.
With Wxps between 825 and 999 you will need 6 Prickers.
At this moment i recommend that you wux eight -5k Poisons and sell them for 10k each.
This should give you the needed money to finish the following describtions
Its time now to increase your Wxps to 999...
If you have too much money you may buy "Fire-Volumes" (FVs),
one of the "Master Lu´s Volumes", which will give you +20 Wxps each.
Normal price was about 170k each when i wrote this guide.
But this guide is written for beginners and i think you dont have the afforded money.
Increasing your Wxps to 999 is kinda easy...
You just have to do 999 Wuxings
I will describe you a way now to use this 999 WuXings in a good way...
First wux another -5k Poison and buy a "Glorious Sash" (a Belt).
Use the -5k Poison to Lvl Up the Belt.
For this put the Belt as Main Item in Slot (7)... (Wood Slot/Belts Element)
Add the -5k Poison in Slot (12)... (the Lvl Slot)
Hit start to wux them together.
Now its time for the sixth secret element of WuXing, PATIENCE
All you have to do now is repeating to wux -5k Poisons and to wux them into the Belt as described above.
Watch the +Mana statistic of the Belt as it goes up.
You should repeat and repeat this until the Belt has a stat of +1209 Mana.
But keep your patience meanwhile, because this will take you a couple of hours!
But the good point is, after your Belt reached +1209 Mana,
you should have reached Wxps 999 too!
If not, just wux some others -5k Poisons to sell them,
But keep the Belt at +1209 Mana and store it well,
you will need it later to wux your first big reward
Now its time for another patience-attacking challenge...
You have to get 26 Fire-Volumes (FVs) to increase your Wxps from 999 to 1519,
as i described above with Wxps 1519 you are able to wux more than two items together at once.
This is called Advanced WuXing then.
You may get FVs by fighting in "Sword Valley"-map.
Sometimes the monsters there will drop you one as Battle Reward.
Dont try to hunt on the little isle where the big sword sticks in,
chances to get a FV dropped are less there...
Lets summarize what happened yet...
You learned how to wux -5k poisons...
You learned how to Lvl Up and Lvl Down items by WuXing...
You worked hard to get your Wxps to 999...
You wuxed a +1209 Mana Belt, that you will need later...
You hunted enough FVs to increase your Wxps to 1519...
What should i say...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You just finished: Step 1: Basic WuXing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Advanced WuXing
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"Well done my Son, you have learned how the Wheel of Elements turns around..."
"Thank you, Master. But i am avid to learn much more!"
"Keep your patience my Son... Every way is gone step by step..."
In STEP 2 i will explain you two things:
First how to Lvl Up items in a faster way,
by wuxing all needed items for a -5k Poison at once into the item you want to lvl.
Second will be how to wux two gear items together,
so that the Main Stat of the Main item will be improved,
by adding a negative Minor Stat...
I will explain it to you by creating a so called 1k/1k armor...
That means it gives +1000 Def at Lvl 1000...
But no panic if you say now: "I cant wear a Lvl 1000 Item!!!"
You already learned how to wux down an items Lvl,
and even at Lvl 100 this armor will still give you about +600 Def!!!
This will be your first reward
We want to create an armor, so your Main item will be an armor.
We will add a negative Mana statistic to the armor,
but this will lower the lvl requirement of the armor too while Def stays the same.
This will be easier to understand when you watch the stats while wuxing...
To add a negative Mana stat to the armor we use Belts...
The Belts will be our "Minor Items" (=items that are wuxed into Main Item)
A Belts natural Stat is Mana... and when the Belt is the Minor Item,
Mana will become the Minor Stat in the describtions...
While the Main Items (armor) natural stat (Def) will be the Main stat.
I guess you remember the +1209 Mana Belt you created in STEP 1.
But for creating a 1k/1k armor we will need 5 of these belts...
So its time now to show you a faster way to Lvl Up items,
now that you are able to wux more than two items at once
Put the item you want to Lvl Up in its Main Slot,
(in this case a Glorious Sash into Slot (7) )
add a Hallucinogen in Slot (12),
and fill up the other Slots with Prickers.
This is as same effective as Lvl Up with a -5k Poison,
but you dont have to spent the time to create a -5k Poison anymore
Just repeat this until the Belt reaches +1209 Mana...
Just try to hit Preview after each added Pricker...
You will see by adding less Prickers you are able to Lvl Up the Item more precisly...
But if you become short of money -5k Poisons are still good for fast cash
So now you should have finished 5 Belts with +1209 Mana each...
After preparing the Minor Items lets care about the Main Item...
Buy a Common Gown and wux it up until it reaches +659 Def
(Gown in (11) + Hallucinogen in (12) + other slots filled up with Prickers)
Now comes the guide to create a 1k/1k armor:
1) Gown in (11) as Main Item + Belt in (7)
As you may see both items are put in their fitting Element Slots.
After this Wux the Gown will still have +659 Def,
but the Lvl requirement will have gone down
and there will be a negative Mana Stat too...
So Mana is added as negative Minor Stat to the Armor,
Minor Stats are not effected by wuxing Up or Down the item...
2) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1049 Def
3) Wux 2nd Belt in Armor like in 1)
4) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1315 Def
5) Wux 3rd Belt in Armor like in 1)
6) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1526 Def
7) Wux 4th Belt in Armor like in 1)
8) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1649 Def
9) Wux 5th Belt in Armor like in 1)
Now you are very close to finish your first reward
The last thing you have to do is to Wux Down the armor to a Lvl you may wear it...
I guess you already know how, but i like to repeat it again:
Armor in its restraining Slot (9) + Stanching Grass in Slot (12)
When the armor hits Lvl 1000 it should have about +1000 Def...
If you lower its Lvl further, for example to Lvl 100, it should have +600 Def...
At any Lvl the armor will have about -1.500 Mana
You may find a lot of WuXing Guides in the Web or even on this forum,
but please mind one thing...
Your Wxps influence the effectiveness of your WuXings,
so your result item may have a little bit other stats like described in the guide...
Every Guide that does not say with how many Wxps it was done,
is always some kind of unprecisly...
Thats why i havent wrote an exactly result in my guide...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You just finished your first advanced wuxed item!!!
I guess you will be very happy with it,
i definitely was as i had a +600 Def armor when i was Lvl 200
In STEP 2 i decided its better to let you experience some Advanced WuXing first,
and add the theory after...
Well... Here it comes:
Lets take a closer look to the Elements of the items you wuxed together...
Your Main Item was an armor, with Metal as its Element...
Your Minor Item was a belt, with Wood as its Element...
The rule in M&M is: Metal restrains Wood...
What happened as you wuxed the items together?
Negative Minor Stat was added, which had lower Lvl Req as side effect...
Lets combine this to a WuXing rule:
Main Item >restrains> Minor Item = - Minor Stat - Lvl Req
Of course this works for every kind of gear...
these combos come out then:
Armor + Belt = Armor with -Mana
Weapon + Armor = Weapon with -Def
Belt + Headwear = Belt with -Life
Shoes + Weapon = Shoes with -Att
Headwear + Shoes = Headwear with -Dex
Shoes with -Att are very popular, you may find some Guides for that...
Most common are the 1k/1k Shoes,
which means +1k Dex at Lvl 1k...
If you want to try to create own items by these Advanced WuXing Rules,
but dont have a guide to follow, you will have to use Preview a lot...
Just place the items you choosed in their Element Slots and hit Preview...
Get them out of Oven again and Wux Up one of them and
look up the new result by Preview again...
After some time you will gain a feeling how to prepare your items,
before you combine them finally...
YES... that will need a lot of time!!!
But what was the sixth secret Element of WuXing again???
RIGHT!!! Patience!!!
If you ever get bored of WuXing your items,
just go and hunt some FVs to increase your Wxps...
Always mind... the more Wxps you have, the more effective your WuXings will be...
Of course Advanced WuXing offers you a good way to make money too
You may Wux Up gears until they reach their limit...
Limit items was worth 3m each as i wrote this guide...
Limit Stats of Items:
Belt/Adornment: +4215 Mana
Headwear: +4215 Life
Armor: +3168 Def
Weapon: +3168 Att
Shoes: +3168 Dex
When you create Limit Gear dont get confused,
when they reach Cult/Lvl 1.000.000 far before they reach their Limit Stat,
even when they are already at 1m Cult you may Wux Up their Stat further...
Lets sum up again what happened while STEP 2
You have learned how to Wux Up Gear by Advanced WuXing...
You have learned how to add a negative Minor Stat to an item,
to improve its Main Stat in this way...
You learned you are able to wux Limit Gear, which is worth good money.
So what should i say...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
you just finished STEP 2: Advanced WuXing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 3: Professional WuXing
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"Well done my Son... You have stepped far into the knowledge of WuXing..."
"Thank you, Master! But what will i learn next?"
"The next you have to do is to create your Masterpiece..."
"My Masterpiece???"
"Yes my Son... You will have to choose on your own what to create...
And i will leave you alone with the Elements..."
In STEP 3 i will explain you more about the relationships of the Elements,
and how you may use them to create the items you really want!
This part will NOT contain a specific guide how to wux an item...
It will be pure theory... I already hear you sighing
In STEP 2 we already scratched the restraining relationship of the Elements...
but there is a second relationship too...
It is said that Elements "generates" specific other Elements...
If u set the Elements in a row, connected by these relationships,
i call that "Lines"...
Restraining Line:
Metal >R> Wood >R> Earth >R> Water >R> Fire >R> Metal
(back to the start)
Generating Line:
Earth >G> Metal >G> Water >G> Wood >G> Fire >G> Earth
(back to the start)
In STEP 2 we used this relationship: Main >R> Minor...
Its effect was: result item has -Minor Stat -Lvl
But over all there are 4 of these relationships...
And each of them has other effects on the Main item...
Professional WuXing Element Rules:
Main >R> Minor = -Minor Stat -Lvl
Main >G> Minor = +Minor Stat +Lvl
Minor >R> Main = -Main Stat +Minor Stat -Lvl
Minor >G> Main = +Main Stat +Minor Stat +Lvl
I may imagine how your fantasy rotates now what all you may wux yourself...
And well... in theory you are right
The only problem is, for this kind of professional WuXing are only very few guides existing,
at least most people dont share them...
As i said before you will need a lot of patience to create items with these rules...
But Preview button will help you a lot again to find out how to prepare the items
But i think the possibilty to create defense belts or dexterity weapons
is worth a lot of afford
Well... we dont want to forget you are able to wux more than two items at once...
So lets talk about adding a third item to the rules above...
Adding a certain third item will increase the effect the Minor Item has on the Main...
Easiest third item to add is the good old -5k Poisons...
I didnt found out yet why, but adding a third item
doesnt work at all Elemental Combos...
But its definitely always worth a try looked up by Preview...
What i may say in general:
Adding a third item at Minor >R> Main doesnt work...
In general its kinda easy to add them...
Remember that i called the Earth Slot (6) the "Support Slot" ?
Well... thats where you place the -5k Poisons to support the Minor item
Why Slot (6)? And why i said in the very beginning the order the slots burn out is important? Here it comes:
In the endeffect it comes down to this:
The Oven recognizes that item as Minor Item which burns out first...
After that burns out the third item...
And as we all know the Main Item burns out at last no matter where it is placed...
And Slot (6) always burns out last...
So its perfect to place the third item at...
Lets make that important and write it in red
You may add a -5k item as third item which supports the Minor Item...
Third Item has to burn out AFTER Minor Item...
Slot (6) always burns out last... So its the Support Slot
I wouldnt be me if i wouldnt know a way to make it more complicated
Instead of a -5k Poison u may add a wuxed up gear as third item too...
This would be more effectiv in supporting than a -5k Poison...
To know how to choose a third items Element i advance our rules:
Advanced Professional WuXing Element Rules:
Main >R> Minor
becomes to:
Main >G> 3rd >G> Minor
Main >G> Minor
becomes to:
Main >G> Minor >G> 3rd
Minor >R> Main
no 3rd item may support Minor
Minor >G> Main
becomes to:
3rd >G> Minor >G> Main
Still not complicated enough yet? OK!
If you use a wuxed gear of the right element as third item,
you may put it in its fitting Element Slot too,
if that burns out AFTER the Minor Items Slot...
That would increase the supporting effect of the 3rd item...
IF AFTER THAT Earth Slot (6) is still free,
you may add there a -5k Poison as 4th item of course...
a little warning:
you cannot add positive minor stats freely...
positive minor stats always higher the lvl req...
so if you want to add a positive minor stat to an item
which hits your maximum lvl req,
you have to equalize the lvl req with some negative minor stat...
Well... i cant believe it myself,
but i have said all that i have to say...
BESIDE ONE THING:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU JUST FINISHED STEP 3: PROFESSIONAL WUXING!!!!!!
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"So you want to learn the ways of WuXing... Then you have to know about the sixth secret element of WuXing first..."
"The sixth secret element, Master???"
"Yes my Son... It is called Patience..."
First i wanna loose some words about WuXing itself...
What is WuXing?
You put items into the WuXing Oven and melt them together to one
to manipulate the statistics of the Main Item.
How to use WuXing Oven?
You put different items in the slots of the WuXing Oven and choose a Main Item...
The Result Item will be of the same kind as the Main Item...
The Minor Items u choose will define how the statistics of the Main Item will change...
How to choose the right items?
Well.. this is what this guide will teach you.
What are my WuXing-Creativity-Points (Wxps) good for?
Your Wxps influence the effectiveness of every single WuXing you do.
The higher the Wxps are the better results you will reach.
I will give some examples to this later.
There are two limits you have to break through with your Wxps:
The first is from Wxps 999 to 1000.
Until 999 you will gain one Wxp by every WuXing you do.
To increase them further you will need "Master Lu´s Volumes".
The second is to reach Wxps 1519.
From that moment on you will be able to wux more than two items together at once.
What is Cultivation/Lvl?
Wuxed Items Lvl goes up from 100 to 1000 in steps of 100 each,
after Lvl 1000 Lvl Requirement is replaced by Cultivation Requirement...
When your char goes up in the ranks of Gods, you will gain Cultivation points too...
Items that require cult instead of lvl are higher and give more stat benefits...
To be able to wear an item you must fulfill its Cult/Lvl requirements...
I will use different colors in this guide...
Green are little story lines i add for fun
Normal instructions are white
My personal hints for you i will use yellow for
Most important infos will be red
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Basic WuXing
I recommend that you should hit a few requirements before you start WuXing...
1.: You should have reached Lvl 100, because wuxed items requires at least Lvl 100 to wear them...
2.: You should have done the "Courage Armor/Get An Armor" quest...
3.: You and your pet should be able to fight in "Sword Valley" map...
Ok... like everything in M&M WuXing is based on the 5 elements,
this means every Slot in the WuXing Oven and every Gear Item is related to a special element!
Crim added a nice overview with pics in "Wuxing Oven for the people",
but i will add it in text-form too:
north slot = Slot (12) = Heaven Slot = Element Metal
north-west slot = Slot (11) = Lake Slot = Element Metal
west slot = Slot (9) = Fire Slot = Element Fire
south-west slot = Slot (7) = Thunder Slot = Element Wood
north-east slot = Slot (1) = Wind Slot = Element Wood
east slot = Slot (3) = Water Slot = Element Water
south-east slot = Slot (5) = Mountain Slot = Element Earth
south slot = Slot (6) = Earth Slot = Element Earth
This is the order in which the slots "burn out",
that will become important later in the guide...
Armors = Element Metal = (11) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Def
Weapons = Element Fire = (9) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Att
Belts/Adornments = Element Wood = (7) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Mana
Shoes = Element Water = (3) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Dex
Headwear = Element Earth = (5) as Main Slot = Main Stat is Life
The most basic experience of WuXing is Lvl Up or Down an item...
To Lvl Up an item, which will increase its Main Stat too, put it in its Main Slot.
Choose it as Main Item by a right click on it.
Next add a poison in Slot (12), which i call "Lvl Slot" too.
Hit start and the items will melt together and you gain your Main Item with a higher Lvl-requirement...
The more -Life a poison has the more effective it will Lvl Up your item. Most effectiv are the -5000 Life Poisons, so called: -5k Poison.
Before u hit start to wux your items together always hit Preview first, it will show you the result item even before you wuxed!
To Lvl Down an item, which will decrease its Main Stat too, put it in its "Restraining Slot" (described below).
Choose it as Main Item by right click on it.
Next add a "Stanching Grass" in Slot (12), the "Lvl Slot".
Hit start and the items will melt together and you gain yout Main Item with a lower Lvl-requirement...
Restraining Slots:
Armors in Slot (9)... Metal is restrained by Fire
Weapons in Slot (3)... Fire is restrained by Water
Belts/Adornments in Slot (11)... Wood is restrained by Metal
Shoes in Slot (5)... Water is restrained by Earth
Headwear in Slot (7)... Earth is restrained by Wood
Now you may ask yourself: Where may i buy -5k Poisons???
Well... nowhere! You will wux them yourself!
That will be the first item you wux now:
For now you are able only to wux two items together,
so you will need some wuxing-actions to create it.
Buy a Hallucinogen and 8 Prickers.
You want to increase the Poisons -Life, which is familiar to Attack,
so you put the Poison in the Weapon-Slot (9) and choose it as Main Item.
Add one pricker in Earth Slot (6), which i like to call the "Support-Slot".
Hit start and u will gain a Wuxinged Poison with higher -Life than the Hallucinogen.
Repeat this until your Wuxinged Poison reaches the -5000 Life...
You should need 8 actions to make the Hallucinogen to a -5k Poison...
CONGRATULATIONS! You just wuxed your first item
-5k Poisons are a nice example how your WuXing-Creativity-Points (Wxps) influence the effectiveness of your WuXings...
With Wxps between 1 and 300 you will need to wux 8 Prickers into the Hallucinogen to create a -5k Poison.
With Wxps between 301 and 824 you will need 7 Prickers.
With Wxps between 825 and 999 you will need 6 Prickers.
At this moment i recommend that you wux eight -5k Poisons and sell them for 10k each.
This should give you the needed money to finish the following describtions
Its time now to increase your Wxps to 999...
If you have too much money you may buy "Fire-Volumes" (FVs),
one of the "Master Lu´s Volumes", which will give you +20 Wxps each.
Normal price was about 170k each when i wrote this guide.
But this guide is written for beginners and i think you dont have the afforded money.
Increasing your Wxps to 999 is kinda easy...
You just have to do 999 Wuxings
I will describe you a way now to use this 999 WuXings in a good way...
First wux another -5k Poison and buy a "Glorious Sash" (a Belt).
Use the -5k Poison to Lvl Up the Belt.
For this put the Belt as Main Item in Slot (7)... (Wood Slot/Belts Element)
Add the -5k Poison in Slot (12)... (the Lvl Slot)
Hit start to wux them together.
Now its time for the sixth secret element of WuXing, PATIENCE
All you have to do now is repeating to wux -5k Poisons and to wux them into the Belt as described above.
Watch the +Mana statistic of the Belt as it goes up.
You should repeat and repeat this until the Belt has a stat of +1209 Mana.
But keep your patience meanwhile, because this will take you a couple of hours!
But the good point is, after your Belt reached +1209 Mana,
you should have reached Wxps 999 too!
If not, just wux some others -5k Poisons to sell them,
But keep the Belt at +1209 Mana and store it well,
you will need it later to wux your first big reward
Now its time for another patience-attacking challenge...
You have to get 26 Fire-Volumes (FVs) to increase your Wxps from 999 to 1519,
as i described above with Wxps 1519 you are able to wux more than two items together at once.
This is called Advanced WuXing then.
You may get FVs by fighting in "Sword Valley"-map.
Sometimes the monsters there will drop you one as Battle Reward.
Dont try to hunt on the little isle where the big sword sticks in,
chances to get a FV dropped are less there...
Lets summarize what happened yet...
You learned how to wux -5k poisons...
You learned how to Lvl Up and Lvl Down items by WuXing...
You worked hard to get your Wxps to 999...
You wuxed a +1209 Mana Belt, that you will need later...
You hunted enough FVs to increase your Wxps to 1519...
What should i say...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You just finished: Step 1: Basic WuXing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Advanced WuXing
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"Well done my Son, you have learned how the Wheel of Elements turns around..."
"Thank you, Master. But i am avid to learn much more!"
"Keep your patience my Son... Every way is gone step by step..."
In STEP 2 i will explain you two things:
First how to Lvl Up items in a faster way,
by wuxing all needed items for a -5k Poison at once into the item you want to lvl.
Second will be how to wux two gear items together,
so that the Main Stat of the Main item will be improved,
by adding a negative Minor Stat...
I will explain it to you by creating a so called 1k/1k armor...
That means it gives +1000 Def at Lvl 1000...
But no panic if you say now: "I cant wear a Lvl 1000 Item!!!"
You already learned how to wux down an items Lvl,
and even at Lvl 100 this armor will still give you about +600 Def!!!
This will be your first reward
We want to create an armor, so your Main item will be an armor.
We will add a negative Mana statistic to the armor,
but this will lower the lvl requirement of the armor too while Def stays the same.
This will be easier to understand when you watch the stats while wuxing...
To add a negative Mana stat to the armor we use Belts...
The Belts will be our "Minor Items" (=items that are wuxed into Main Item)
A Belts natural Stat is Mana... and when the Belt is the Minor Item,
Mana will become the Minor Stat in the describtions...
While the Main Items (armor) natural stat (Def) will be the Main stat.
I guess you remember the +1209 Mana Belt you created in STEP 1.
But for creating a 1k/1k armor we will need 5 of these belts...
So its time now to show you a faster way to Lvl Up items,
now that you are able to wux more than two items at once
Put the item you want to Lvl Up in its Main Slot,
(in this case a Glorious Sash into Slot (7) )
add a Hallucinogen in Slot (12),
and fill up the other Slots with Prickers.
This is as same effective as Lvl Up with a -5k Poison,
but you dont have to spent the time to create a -5k Poison anymore
Just repeat this until the Belt reaches +1209 Mana...
Just try to hit Preview after each added Pricker...
You will see by adding less Prickers you are able to Lvl Up the Item more precisly...
But if you become short of money -5k Poisons are still good for fast cash
So now you should have finished 5 Belts with +1209 Mana each...
After preparing the Minor Items lets care about the Main Item...
Buy a Common Gown and wux it up until it reaches +659 Def
(Gown in (11) + Hallucinogen in (12) + other slots filled up with Prickers)
Now comes the guide to create a 1k/1k armor:
1) Gown in (11) as Main Item + Belt in (7)
As you may see both items are put in their fitting Element Slots.
After this Wux the Gown will still have +659 Def,
but the Lvl requirement will have gone down
and there will be a negative Mana Stat too...
So Mana is added as negative Minor Stat to the Armor,
Minor Stats are not effected by wuxing Up or Down the item...
2) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1049 Def
3) Wux 2nd Belt in Armor like in 1)
4) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1315 Def
5) Wux 3rd Belt in Armor like in 1)
6) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1526 Def
7) Wux 4th Belt in Armor like in 1)
8) Wux Up the Armor until it reaches +1649 Def
9) Wux 5th Belt in Armor like in 1)
Now you are very close to finish your first reward
The last thing you have to do is to Wux Down the armor to a Lvl you may wear it...
I guess you already know how, but i like to repeat it again:
Armor in its restraining Slot (9) + Stanching Grass in Slot (12)
When the armor hits Lvl 1000 it should have about +1000 Def...
If you lower its Lvl further, for example to Lvl 100, it should have +600 Def...
At any Lvl the armor will have about -1.500 Mana
You may find a lot of WuXing Guides in the Web or even on this forum,
but please mind one thing...
Your Wxps influence the effectiveness of your WuXings,
so your result item may have a little bit other stats like described in the guide...
Every Guide that does not say with how many Wxps it was done,
is always some kind of unprecisly...
Thats why i havent wrote an exactly result in my guide...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You just finished your first advanced wuxed item!!!
I guess you will be very happy with it,
i definitely was as i had a +600 Def armor when i was Lvl 200
In STEP 2 i decided its better to let you experience some Advanced WuXing first,
and add the theory after...
Well... Here it comes:
Lets take a closer look to the Elements of the items you wuxed together...
Your Main Item was an armor, with Metal as its Element...
Your Minor Item was a belt, with Wood as its Element...
The rule in M&M is: Metal restrains Wood...
What happened as you wuxed the items together?
Negative Minor Stat was added, which had lower Lvl Req as side effect...
Lets combine this to a WuXing rule:
Main Item >restrains> Minor Item = - Minor Stat - Lvl Req
Of course this works for every kind of gear...
these combos come out then:
Armor + Belt = Armor with -Mana
Weapon + Armor = Weapon with -Def
Belt + Headwear = Belt with -Life
Shoes + Weapon = Shoes with -Att
Headwear + Shoes = Headwear with -Dex
Shoes with -Att are very popular, you may find some Guides for that...
Most common are the 1k/1k Shoes,
which means +1k Dex at Lvl 1k...
If you want to try to create own items by these Advanced WuXing Rules,
but dont have a guide to follow, you will have to use Preview a lot...
Just place the items you choosed in their Element Slots and hit Preview...
Get them out of Oven again and Wux Up one of them and
look up the new result by Preview again...
After some time you will gain a feeling how to prepare your items,
before you combine them finally...
YES... that will need a lot of time!!!
But what was the sixth secret Element of WuXing again???
RIGHT!!! Patience!!!
If you ever get bored of WuXing your items,
just go and hunt some FVs to increase your Wxps...
Always mind... the more Wxps you have, the more effective your WuXings will be...
Of course Advanced WuXing offers you a good way to make money too
You may Wux Up gears until they reach their limit...
Limit items was worth 3m each as i wrote this guide...
Limit Stats of Items:
Belt/Adornment: +4215 Mana
Headwear: +4215 Life
Armor: +3168 Def
Weapon: +3168 Att
Shoes: +3168 Dex
When you create Limit Gear dont get confused,
when they reach Cult/Lvl 1.000.000 far before they reach their Limit Stat,
even when they are already at 1m Cult you may Wux Up their Stat further...
Lets sum up again what happened while STEP 2
You have learned how to Wux Up Gear by Advanced WuXing...
You have learned how to add a negative Minor Stat to an item,
to improve its Main Stat in this way...
You learned you are able to wux Limit Gear, which is worth good money.
So what should i say...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
you just finished STEP 2: Advanced WuXing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 3: Professional WuXing
And the wise Master spoke to his scholar:
"Well done my Son... You have stepped far into the knowledge of WuXing..."
"Thank you, Master! But what will i learn next?"
"The next you have to do is to create your Masterpiece..."
"My Masterpiece???"
"Yes my Son... You will have to choose on your own what to create...
And i will leave you alone with the Elements..."
In STEP 3 i will explain you more about the relationships of the Elements,
and how you may use them to create the items you really want!
This part will NOT contain a specific guide how to wux an item...
It will be pure theory... I already hear you sighing
In STEP 2 we already scratched the restraining relationship of the Elements...
but there is a second relationship too...
It is said that Elements "generates" specific other Elements...
If u set the Elements in a row, connected by these relationships,
i call that "Lines"...
Restraining Line:
Metal >R> Wood >R> Earth >R> Water >R> Fire >R> Metal
(back to the start)
Generating Line:
Earth >G> Metal >G> Water >G> Wood >G> Fire >G> Earth
(back to the start)
In STEP 2 we used this relationship: Main >R> Minor...
Its effect was: result item has -Minor Stat -Lvl
But over all there are 4 of these relationships...
And each of them has other effects on the Main item...
Professional WuXing Element Rules:
Main >R> Minor = -Minor Stat -Lvl
Main >G> Minor = +Minor Stat +Lvl
Minor >R> Main = -Main Stat +Minor Stat -Lvl
Minor >G> Main = +Main Stat +Minor Stat +Lvl
I may imagine how your fantasy rotates now what all you may wux yourself...
And well... in theory you are right
The only problem is, for this kind of professional WuXing are only very few guides existing,
at least most people dont share them...
As i said before you will need a lot of patience to create items with these rules...
But Preview button will help you a lot again to find out how to prepare the items
But i think the possibilty to create defense belts or dexterity weapons
is worth a lot of afford
Well... we dont want to forget you are able to wux more than two items at once...
So lets talk about adding a third item to the rules above...
Adding a certain third item will increase the effect the Minor Item has on the Main...
Easiest third item to add is the good old -5k Poisons...
I didnt found out yet why, but adding a third item
doesnt work at all Elemental Combos...
But its definitely always worth a try looked up by Preview...
What i may say in general:
Adding a third item at Minor >R> Main doesnt work...
In general its kinda easy to add them...
Remember that i called the Earth Slot (6) the "Support Slot" ?
Well... thats where you place the -5k Poisons to support the Minor item
Why Slot (6)? And why i said in the very beginning the order the slots burn out is important? Here it comes:
In the endeffect it comes down to this:
The Oven recognizes that item as Minor Item which burns out first...
After that burns out the third item...
And as we all know the Main Item burns out at last no matter where it is placed...
And Slot (6) always burns out last...
So its perfect to place the third item at...
Lets make that important and write it in red
You may add a -5k item as third item which supports the Minor Item...
Third Item has to burn out AFTER Minor Item...
Slot (6) always burns out last... So its the Support Slot
I wouldnt be me if i wouldnt know a way to make it more complicated
Instead of a -5k Poison u may add a wuxed up gear as third item too...
This would be more effectiv in supporting than a -5k Poison...
To know how to choose a third items Element i advance our rules:
Advanced Professional WuXing Element Rules:
Main >R> Minor
becomes to:
Main >G> 3rd >G> Minor
Main >G> Minor
becomes to:
Main >G> Minor >G> 3rd
Minor >R> Main
no 3rd item may support Minor
Minor >G> Main
becomes to:
3rd >G> Minor >G> Main
Still not complicated enough yet? OK!
If you use a wuxed gear of the right element as third item,
you may put it in its fitting Element Slot too,
if that burns out AFTER the Minor Items Slot...
That would increase the supporting effect of the 3rd item...
IF AFTER THAT Earth Slot (6) is still free,
you may add there a -5k Poison as 4th item of course...
a little warning:
you cannot add positive minor stats freely...
positive minor stats always higher the lvl req...
so if you want to add a positive minor stat to an item
which hits your maximum lvl req,
you have to equalize the lvl req with some negative minor stat...
Well... i cant believe it myself,
but i have said all that i have to say...
BESIDE ONE THING:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU JUST FINISHED STEP 3: PROFESSIONAL WUXING!!!!!!
