Does anyone by any chance have a little tip or trick to ranking up Hillwen Engineering? I'm trying to make myself the Milky Way Guitar, but I am only rank B, so i'll obviously need to rank it up a lot more to have an actual chance at crafting it. Anyone have any ideas on how to rank it up fast?

    Magic Craft is just as difficult, any tips on both of them would be appreciated. ^u^ lol

    Double life skills pots are a godsend for Magic craft. I never tried them with Engineering but assume they work on it too.

    Purchase one of those Life Skill Booster Packs from the Cash Shop, they contain 7 One-day 2x Life EXP potions!

    Here's the full list of items it contains: 5 Free Repair Kits, 10 Remote Bank Coupons, a Lorna Gold Box, 20 Muffins of Luck, 10 Production Failure Potions, 10 Speed Walk Potions 40%, 4 Potent High Speed Gathering Elixirs, 4 Recovery Boosters, 7 Double Life Skill EXP Potions (1 Day), and a Bunny Doll Bag.

    Double Rainbow is also coming up, so you can get 4x training with the 2x EXP potion and the event!

    There really isn't a trick to it outside of having god tier patience,

    Adventurer Seals to turn into Training Seals help. If you're doing Magic Craft, spam Synthesis for Poison Herb (1x Base, 1x Blood, 1x Mana, 1x Sunlight, 1x White Herb = 3 Poison Herbs).

    Also what Korore said. Life Skill pots and Double Rainbow.

    Hillwen Engineering and Magic Craft are both notoriously difficult, however Hillwen Engineering at least imo is the more annoying of the two.

    Primarily because it takes a lot more brute force to clear a corner in the back of B3 if you don't have the strength to deal with shriekers(and golems), or a 322/Nimbus speed pet to lure golems away (summon pet, hit golem twice, send it to attack something on the other side of the map, desummon when the golem to displace is a good distance away).

    For about 10~15 minutes afterwards you pretty much just have to wipe out all bison/shriekers until they stop bothering you while you mine, and then hope to GOD nobody meteors the back.

    Not to mention unlike MC you also have to farm for cores to make guns, which if you don't have Prem. Service or VIP you'll get drop capped based on how many of what power level you hunt (Maximum of about 100 I think if you hunt mostly Awfuls/Bosses).

    Unless you're REALLY dedicated, I'd find some kind soul to request making the guitah for you. I can make one on mari but I don't think yer on my server.

    My tip is to do everything but the skill. Which is to just really just hurr durr some skill seals out of events, daily seals, and buy them up with money if you're close enough to end game that the more efficient money making options are open to you.

    you can farm the big rocks in shyllien and hillwen without clearing everything, just have to use aggro. if you get enough mutant plants (the small ones) or enough bisons aggro'd on you, can just run up and farm it and the sasquatches/big plants/golem/shrieker won't even take notice.
    for the bisons though you need to get them on one side of the rock and farm from the other side to stop them hitting you, the plants are easier though cuz they don't move - can just run out of their range.
    still have to pray someone doesn't meteor while you're doing it though >w>;

    might want to just seal it after rank 9-rank 8 ish.

    As of now, I'm assisting by collecting ores whilst she uses the Engineering.
    All is going well so far, which is good. xP
    Some of it now is starting to mix in with Magic Craft, as some recipes call for Shyllien. -.-'
