trust me.
Go OB+reflect or something. Reflect leveling cannot be efficiently used as a build anymore.
Sorry for the late edit, guys

The reason behind all the defence is because you are striving to survive without Kaahi while dealing great damage. You let the autocasts do all the work for you. Pretty much can smoke a cigarette and go afk for a bit if you want to while you're in Nogg or some highly crowded map. If you want to go to Juperos, you'll need Valk armor to resist stun and some headgear for that as well (stalactic golem carded.) Well... Aren't you going for 100+ vit? Why the gears?
This is a build I personally tested and have shown to a few people but kept fairly secret because it causes MAJOR lag to others or even yourself unless you turn effects off. Also tired of bragging about it and leaving people wondering. So there you go. I've decided that I don't care anymore though, and not having to depend on Kaahi to level is wonderful.
You can even afk farm with aRejuvenating Thorny Buckler and a Bison HornValkyrie Manteau with your RoR.
Moonlight Dagger not required but if you have one, hotkey it for instant sp recovery.

I need some further explanations about this. I want to make one Royal liek you because I am your fan [<3]
Also. I think Rune Hairband would be a decent option of headgear to maintain SP too.
And. If I wanted to use Archangeling. Which stat should I sacrifice? Int or Vit? [you know. AA card requires you to have 77 base luk]

I might be out of touch with today's RO, but I had a pretty good system for my Royal Guard without reflect, as such:
+(whatever) Rejuvenating Thorny Buckler. I think mine was +8, might have been +2, I don't remember.
+9 Ygg crown
I don't even remember the rest, but with a high INT/LUK/VIT build (which mine was), and taking the points to learn heal 10, with decent reduction I was healing ~2100 and the proc rate on the shield was pretty good. I was too poor for a deviant/GR, but with the borrowing of a friend's, I was able to do this in AL3 no-problemo, though I wouldn't suggest it. Niff1 seemed to be great for this even at level 125.
Heals > Damage
Heals = healvalue * [(numenemies^2)/10]
Damage = numenemies * avgdamage
healvalue * numenemies^2/10 > numenemies * avgdamage
healvalue * numenemies/10 > avgdamage
So, as long as you're not taking 1/10th of your heal rate in damage PER enemy, you'll be nearly unkillable. With 10 enemies, each enemy can do your max heal rate, provided you have some buffer zone for the occasions where your heal does not trigger as much as it should.
A greed-hat with a snowier card is cool too, cause' you can eat those creams when things get tight. With two snowier accessories on a 100-Vit RG, each cream heals like 900. Pretty cool.
I also had like 96 p. dodge so that helped too.

man, this sounds so much fun. I totally don't have the right stuff in the right places for this sort of build, though. I kept getting suggestions to skip heal and use Kaahi instead, but that turned out to be a pain and a half to make sure my Soul Linker doesn't just pop in high level areas.

It's been a long time, so bear with me-- I will try to describe what I can remember with as much detail as I can:Triple poring hat (MUCH faster proc than Magnolia--but Magnolia hat has a slot) and thorny+bison is a must for overnight afk farming. Farm some HFC's without effort LEGALLY.
If your build works, post more about it because it's cheap sounding and seems fairly efficient based on a ten monster mob.
What other equips do you use?
And no I cannot access a deviant so if that's the one thing that keeps you alive then I cannot try this build Q_Q

With new changes on St. Patrick Hat, this is the setup I used to level 150 my RG. I am able to tank any mob size at Cursed Monastery and Scarab Hall 2 without dying at all. Make sure to keep Reflect Damage level 5 and Shield Spell 1 active at all times.
+7 St Patrick Hat - No Kaahi/Pots needed if you are tanking 5+ mobs. Abuse it before the balance patch hits. You'll never get easier leveling with Royal Guards once it's released.
Glorious Spear +9 - Better than Elemental Sword in end game especialy against magic resistant enemies and procs more often = 10% vs Ele sword's 5%. Most enemies at end game have high mdef and Elemental Sword becomes obsolete. Glorious Spear +9's Gloria Domini ALWAYS do 2k damage to the enemy if it procs. Also causes lesser lag than Elemental Sword
Stygian Valkyrian Manteau - Fireball/FireBolt/Reflect all in 1 garment
Rejuvenating Thorn Buckler - For Bison-Thorn Buckler Set and the Auto Heal effect.
Ring of Flame Lord - More instance of Gloria Domini and Fireball. Auto Zen and Bowling Bash are a plus as well. Make sure you equip this first BEFORE the Glorious Spear +9 and the Kasa Valk Mant or else you will get weaker versions of Fireball and Gloria Domini.
Bison Horn of Doubled Power - Auto Lex Aeterna. This will tremendously speed things up when things take double damage from Gloria Domini.
No armor and no shoe equipped because I need to take more damage to reflect more damage back.

Not very, from what I tested.
The main thing that kills it is the 50 reflect limit RD has now. With that in place, I've been finding it really hard to recast it while in a mob, what with other auto-casts going off. The fact that it no longer reflects ranged attacks is also a bit of a bummer, but can be dealt with if it weren't for that 50 hit reflect limit it now has.

CG how do (did) you keep your SP up? I don't believe I saw anything that would do that, unless you meant to just use the Green Ales you found right away is that it?
Just curious but would not Race Carded Shoes be helpful???
You would take 20% more from the race, thus negating buff from shoe Def, but also get more exp from them as well.
For Armor perhaps a Loli Ruri card to help with the Heals as well?
Wondering how viable Reflect leveling is now.
