Welcome to Athens! If you’re new or even a veteran of custom private servers, getting started can seem a little daunting, so this guide will hopefully take you along your way!

 

When you start you will be able to choose from a few different modes (Normal/Iron Man/Group iron man and Ultimate Iron Man) Each with different perks and restrictions. This guide will focus on normal mode.

For all-in-one-ironman guide please check out: 

All-In-One Ironman guide

One of the First things you should do is always ::Ref (example ::ref tudor , ::ref walky ,etc) 

 

Understanding The Tier System

You can view which items are in which Tier under the Quest Tab > Green Star > View Tiers

Or by typing ::tiers in-game

Equipment bonuses will be broken down into 5 categories: 

All item stats now serve a purpose in combat

Attack Bonuses - This will determine your accuracy

Defense Bonuses - This will reduce the amount of damage you take

Damage Bonuses - This will determine your max hit

Drop Rate Bonus - Self Explanatory

Soulsplit Bonus - The amount you heal from SS will have a base cap. Unless you've got a SS bonus you won't be able to heal over 97 HP

Damage Modifier - This will add all of your damage boosts such as rank benefits, prayer scrolls, etc

 

NPC Tiers 

Each tier of NPC will have a drop rate cap, which will also be on display in the teleport interface, and under the show drops interface. 100% of your drop rate affects the drops, maxing out at the DR Max of that NPC.

 

Example: Shifter's Drop Rate is maxed out at 200% no matter what your Drop Rate is.

Making an Alt

At this point, it's recommended to create another account to gain afk points so you can get an Animal Bow and have a quick weapon upgrade. After that you can save 150 drachma, claim it and use it in the Olympus shop at ::shops to buy a Hope weapon. If you use two hope weapons on eachother, it makes it the Elite version.

On your main account you can type the command (::afkmanager) to make the points go to your main account! This will also help you get an Unlimited Prayer Scroll and Infinite Overload, which will make your journey moving forward much easier!  The AFK Shop is both located at ::afk, and ::shops.  AFK will also be one of the better ways to farm limey tokens for drachma.

::Treasurevault

 Every vote will increase your time by 60 seconds

25$ Donated = 5 mins of Vault time

What's so special about the Treasure Vault?

Here you have the chance of getting a best in slot item! The owner selection is a tier 16 selector.

The rate to obtain owner items is about 1500 active minutes at the Treasure Vault. So yes, they will be quite rare to obtain! 

 

 

It is recommended that you start with buying these items.

-A Collector's Necklace will be needed for your progression through Athens. 

-100% drop rate scroll, these are crucial to speeding up your drops throughout your time in Athens.

Getting Void/Beginner Slayer (Tier 0-2)

It’s recommended to start by getting void as quickly as possible after you vote and get the Collector's Necklace and some 100% drop scrolls. You will be able to get a free void set just by completing you ::Stasks along with probably a few goodies from the Shifter,Defiler and brawler NPC’s!

You will also want to get a void weapon and Void Crystals for each armor piece (one for each piece).  This will make the armor a tier 1 (Void Helm to Void Mage Helm etc) and all three styles can be combined into an elite version that will be your best set for a good while!

 

You can do this by either killing solo void NPC while doing beginner slayer (you will need to kill 10 NPCs of the tier you want to be assigned as a task) this will work towards unlocking Normal Slayer.  You can select your slayer master by clicking the slayer skill and clicking the first option.

Selecting Your Slayer Master

You can get there by clicking the T by the minimap or typing ctrl and T together.  The solo NPCs are located under the monster tab.

You can also complete the Starter Tasks to speed up getting your void sets and even get yourself 10 Drachma!

It is worth staying as you can get a void pet and add 3 of the Void Crystals to the pet to make it a stylized pet which gives a 2% damage boost to the respective combat style.  You can also forge them into an elite pet at ::upgrade, which gives a 4% boost to your damage!

 

::thread 5932 for upgrade/forge/corrupt upgrader guide

 

Note the number of 1b tickets/Junk Tokens means you can use either Junk Tokens or 1B Tickets.  You will not have to use both.

Would highly recommend to go check out the money maker guide

Using Power Crystals

Power crystals are an important part of early game progression. These are available in the regular slayer shop and can be dropped by various NPCs such as Hellfire and Electric Wizards.  These give a boost to their specific damage type when used on certain gear, such as the Collector's Necklace, Ring of Devotion, and 50% Dr. Boots.

 

Making Elite Drop Rate Items

To use the power crystals on armor, you need to have three of the same type of crystal. In this gif, we are using three Power Crystal (magic) to make a set of Angelic armor (magic)

The stats on the elite armor is significantly better than the style pieces alone, and most elite sets in the game will have set bonuses too! Simply type ::sets to see the different bonuses. Other items you can make into elite items include the Collector's necklace, a ring of devotion, and rYLzOHaZ.gifoseblood gloves (among others).

 

Continuing Slayer (Tier 2-4)

Once you Unlock Normal slayer you can work towards getting superior gems and a Slayer Helm that will increase your damage on task and can be upgraded with monster blood you can buy from the slayer shop or receive as a drop from Boss Slayer!  You can select your slayer master by clicking the slayer skill, I would recommend starting with easy or medium tasks to start.

Custom Slayer Store

Once you have your slayer helm and Superior Gems the increased superiors will.  This will likely give you a good route to obtaining the cash needed for  Elite Justiciar (Ranged), Elite Tectonic (Mage), or Elite Incursio (Melee) for armor and at least a Hope sword, Hope Staff, or Athens Supreme Bow/Hope Crossbow for weapons, or Blood Raid weapons depending on how much cash you have made, and which combat style you choose.

Hope Raids (Tier 4-5)

Raids are a key part of Athens. Hope raids offer a new weapon set to upgrade from your T3 gear to tier 4-5. Hard Hope raids will give you a good opportunity for upgrades!

::thread 5657 Hope raids guide

 Hope Raids Hard Possible Loot

These items can also be bought from the Voting shop.

Hope elite sword (tier 5)

To be able to get the hope elite weaponry it will cost you 300 vote points or obtaining two of the same hope weapons and using them on each other. For example using a hope staff on a hope staff will make it the Tier 5 version. Hope weapons are easily obtainable from players for about 100-200k each.

 

Farming Vindictive Armor (Tier 6-8)

Once you have finished Hope Raids you can move on to farming Incursio Warriors, Tectonic Warlocks, and Justiciar Rangers.  The armor they drop can be upgraded at ::upgrade into an elite variant which is tier 7 armor. 

Incursio warrior set (Melee set) T6

Justiciar Armour set (Range set)

Going for one of these sets corresponding with the weaponry above would be a good starting point! And this is possible just by selling your Votes

 

*When farming these be sure to use x2 drop scrolls at these*

Upgrading The armors dropped from the NPCs mentioned above

You can also combine all three of the Elite variants of the Incursio, Tectonic, and Justiciar together to make Vindictive, which is a tier 8 set of armor.

Blood Raids (Tier 8-9)

 

The next step will be moving to blood raids and working on unlocking hard blood raids; these will offer you a much larger jump for your weapons and contain a decent set of range armor and melee armor as well.

 

Blood Raids Hard

 bloods.png.08893423d5b72e4c9fd36a898e89d9ab.png

 

Weapons from Blood Raids can be forged at ::upgrade with a 100% chance of using two upgrade stones into an elite equivalent.

::thread 5656 Blood raids guide

 

Zombie Invasion

 

Another method I personally use is doing Zombie Invasion for a better weapon and/or gear. 

Click This link to get to the Zombie Invasion guide where everything is explained.

 

The teleport for it is under Minigames tab:

862770061_Zitp.png.b34d9c0b9f8dedd76e94c5378b03ecdb.png

 

You'll get lots of Basic keys, but you'll also get a lot of points which you can potentially spend on a Zombie Invasion pet in the store.

The thing you're after most is an Undying Key, Deathless Key or Cursed Key.

 If you're lucky, you'll get one of these bad boys:

81920795_ZiKEYS.png.e64c67dd8edfb19a32012f3a7d6eaa7e.png

It gives you T8/T11/T14 gear or weapons, which will instantly boost your damage by a lot.

My advice is to do a test run and check to which wave you can get without dying.
Leave 1 wave before you die and restart it again.

 

?️?️?️        Good luck on the key grind!        ?️?️?️

 

 

Other Helpful Things to do 

 

Drachma

Once you've made it to this stage in the game it might be time to consider farming drachma for donator ranks.  Donator ranks give many perks such as; exclusive zones, Slot Boxes at ($1,000 rank), and many more benefits!

One good thing to know is the command ::cupgrade
This way you can upgrade hundreds of Limey Tokens or Rainbow Tokens at once.
Keep in mind this will take longer and cost more, but it is a 100% guaranteed upgrade, unlike ::upgrade.
