Paladin Guild Rules

1. We are not looters.
2. We are not scammers.
3. We are not kill/lure stealers.
4. We do not bad mouth guildmates or other players.

Violation of any of these rules will get you expelled from the guild.

In addition, if you don't login your account for more than a month, you may be expelled.

Please take note of these rules.

We will be having GPs whenever a lot of our guildmates are online. Due to differences in schedules or priorities, not everyone can be online at the same time, please understand this fact. But whenever there are a lot of members playing, we will always make the option available.

Please also note that while we all enjoy playing Ran Online, it is important to remember that this is just a game. This game is not our lives, so let's just kick back and relax ourselves while we level up and enjoy the company of our guildmates. Do not take the game extremely seriously.

While competing in the CW is an option for us, it is not a high priority at this time because of our lack of hi-level members. If anyone feels the need to compete in the CW, they are free to leave and join another guild. It is ironic that those guild members who insist on competing in the CW are those with relatively low levels. Make sure you have something to contribute to the effort if you insist on our guild joining the CW. If you're not at least 117+, don't expect to survive long in the CW.

Finally, anyone and everyone is free to leave to guild if he/she doesn't feel like staying anymore. No hard feelings. That's how things are.

To all the members who have stayed this long, thank you for your support.

INT Swordsman Skills Video

INT Swordsman Recommended Build

Condensed recommended skill build for INT swordsmen:

Divine Shield - Master (Boosts DEF by 10%)
Ronin Slash - NA
Shogun Swing - Level 4
Cyclone Slash - Master (Long range attack.)
Tranquility - Master (Total defense of party boosted by 10%. Essential INT swordie skill.)
Arcane Punch - Master (But master it after all other important skills are mastered. If you don't have enough skill points, keep it at Level 2.)
Kamikazee - Level 2
Metal Body - Master (Total DEF boosted by 18%, plus caster is immune from all elemental effects.)
Lightning Strike - Master (Trademark INT swordie skill. Excellent for luring.)
Crescent Slash - Master (Long range attack. Essential for PK and CW.)
Sword Rings - Master (Long range attack. Slightly more powerful than Vacuum Slash, but less damaging than Tornado Slash. Unlike the Tornado Slash, it never misses.)

From the ETC tab:

Blade Mastery - Master
Lightspeed - Master (Mastered at character level 133.)

From the DEX tab (optional):

Sword Stab - Level 2
Multi Slash - Level 1

The DEX skills are intended to give INT swordies some versatility by adding some melee attacks to the mostly magical attacks (with slow casting times) located on the INT tab. It also helps somewhat in duels as the DEX skills above have canceling effects and are quick to use. It is not advisable to add points to your DEX just to get these skills. Use rings or enhanced suits to boost your DEX enough to learn them.

POW Swordsman Skills Video

POW Swordsman Recommended Build

Condensed recommended skill build for POW swordsmen. Opinions differ on the importance of some skills, such as Critical Slash and Fury, but since we can only have so much skill points, this is the build I recommend:

X Strike - Level 5 (Prerequisite for Hurricane Slash and Fury.)
Dual Slash - NA
Jumping Slash - NA
Kick Slash - Master
Blood Lust - Master (Boosts ATK by 20%.)
Critical Slash - NA (If you choose to get this skill master it.)
Hurricane Slash - Master
Fury - Level 1 (Some players tell you to master this, but since it's really useful for duels only, if you don't have skill points to spare then keep this skill at Level 1. If you have the skill points, then by all means master it.)
Vacuum Slash - Master (Essential PK and CW skill. Trademark POW swordie skill.)
Tornado Slash - Master (Essential PK and CW skill. Trademark POW swordie skill.)
Bloody Divide - Master (Mastered at character level 162.)

From the INT tab:

Divine Shield - Master (Boosts DEF by 10%.)

From the ETC tab:

Blade Mastery - Master
Lightspeed - Master (Mastered at character level 133.)

Gift of Life - Master

Official Blog

Welcome guildmates, to the official blog of the Paladins guild.

This blog is meant to provide information to all guild members or other players regarding proper character build, leveling strategies, tips and tricks, guild specific updates and various other useful tidbits regarding our favorite MMORPG, Ran Online.

The idea came to me after consistently being flooded with all sorts of Ran Online related questions every time I log in. Unfortunately, the guild notice window is pretty limited in terms of the amount of information that can be shared there, and incidentally, I've been a blogger for a number of years now, so, why not make a blog specifically tailored for guild members?

The e-Games forums provide a wealth of knowledge to anyone willing to scour over the literally hundreds of posts covering various Ran-related topics. Unfortunately, the sheer number of entries make looking for specific information rather difficult. Also, a lot of forum members instead of helping resort instead to spamming various threads, or posting asinine comments, further compounding the difficulties in looking for relevant information.

This blog aims to provide specific useful information to all guild members or other Ran players, less the spam and useless comments.

Of course, this project remains a work in progress, so I hope you will bear with me as I make adjustments every so often, in an effort to make this blog more readable, more useful, and more interactive.

Please note that this blog will be written mostly in English. A lot of guild members (and other players as well) are scattered all over the country, and posting in English instead of Tagalog or other dialects makes more sense, since everyone here understands it.

That being said, I hope you people find this blog useful. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to do so.
