River Rafting
This time, I'm going to show you how to do the new river rafting feature properly. It is reccomended to have at least one person with Thunder or Ice spear, one person with high ranked archery, and one person with high ranked windmill if you are doing it in a group. If soloing, you need thunder/ IS, no questions asked. To start, use any transformation you have to save mana and or stam, because rafting takes a while anyways. In a group, have the Mage stand in the middle of the boat, the archer stand in one of the uppermost corners of the boat, and the windmiller in the center of the boat. The focus is to kill as many exorcists/rangers as possible ( they have much less HP) while the warrior mills the hobgoblin jumpers that come onto the raft. Have the mages fire their adv magic into the largest group of exorcists/rangers they see, and have the archers pick off the ones left over. Meleers just stand and WM. This video is cut at 5:00, but you get the point.
