Chimera Online — Complete Red Valley Armor Guide

This guide shows the gear progression guide for the early Cap 80 before Curved Mountain and Lapse were added. For the follow-up equipment progression, continue with the Lapse and Curved Mountain Equipment Guide.

Overview

Red Valley provides the permanent Fame armor used throughout Cap 80 progression.

Unlike the temporary Life equipment found in the Level 45 and Level 55 dungeons, Red Valley armor can be enhanced and evolved repeatedly. A Level 45 Red Valley piece can ultimately become a Level 75+S Armor of Eternity piece.

This guide covers:

• Where every Level 45 Red Valley armor piece drops
• The six complete armor progression lines
• Every required Order Stone from Level 45 to Level 75+S
• The exact sources and drop rates of Enhanced Level 3 and Level 5 Elrun Stones
• The effective item level of every enhancement stage
• Practical farming and progression advice

> Red Valley armor is the foundation of the entire chain. Do not replace it with temporary Life armor expecting that equipment to continue along the same upgrade path.

1. Obtaining the Level 45 Red Valley Armor

Red Valley Basics

Each character fights the opposing nation inside Red Valley:

• Rain characters fight Millena monsters and bosses.
• Millena characters fight Rain monsters and bosses.

Each of the four bosses is responsible for one armor slot.

The listed percentage is the chance for the boss to trigger the shared armor-drop group. When a group contains several armor types, one item from that group is selected.

Drops for Rain Characters

Rain characters fight the Millena bosses and can obtain Magical, Priest, and Shaman armor.

Rain Armor Types

Drops for Millena Characters

Millena characters fight the Rain bosses and can obtain Light, Middle, and Heavy armor.

Millena Armor Types

Important Drop-Group Detail

A boss does not independently roll every armor type.

For example, Shine Everlin has a 30% chance to produce one item from the shared boots group:

• Light boots
• Middle boots
• Heavy boots

This means the chance to receive a specific desired armor type is lower than the displayed group chance because the result is selected from multiple possible pieces.

The exact internal selection weighting between items in the same group is not documented in the supplied files.

> The initial three Millena sets share the Saper name, but the item names retain their Light, Middle, or Heavy Armor distinction.

3. Detailed Upgrade Path

Stage A — Level 45 to 45+S

At +1, the Life armor becomes an Enhanced armor item.

At +S, it is ready for the first tier conversion.

Stage B — 45+S to 50+S

The item becomes its class-specific Level 50+S set:

All Level 50+S armor pieces require character Level 50.

Stage C — 50+S to Level 55

This conversion creates the clean Level 55 set.

Stage D — Level 55 to 55+S

Stage E — 55+S to 60+S

The item becomes its class-specific Level 60+S set:

Stage F — 60+S to Level 65

The conversion produces:

Stage G — Level 65 to 65+S

Stage H — 65+S to Level 70

The conversion produces:

Stage I — Level 70 to 70+S

Both 70+4 and 70+S have a required level of 74.

Stage J — 70+S to Level 75

The conversion creates the Armor of Eternity tier.

Stage K — Level 75 to 75+S

Level 75+S is the final Red Valley armor form covered by this guide.

4. Enhanced Order Stone Farming

Enhanced Elrun Stones are especially important because they perform the guaranteed clean-tier conversions.

Enhanced Level 3 Elrun Stone

Uses

• Guaranteed 45+S → 50+S
• Guaranteed 50+S → clean Level 55

Exact Sources

The final boss also has a 10% shared drop group containing:

• Level 1 Dilrun Stone
• Level 2 Dilrun Stone
• Level 3 Dilrun Stone
• Level 1 Elrun Stone
• Level 2 Elrun Stone
• Level 3 Elrun Stone

The 5% Enhanced Level 3 Elrun Stone roll is separate from that normal-stone group.

Enhanced Level 5 Elrun Stone

Uses

• Required for the guaranteed 60+S → clean Level 65 conversion
• Supports the Level 55 and Level 60 armor progression bottleneck

Exact Sources

The final boss also has a 10% shared drop group containing:

• Level 4 Dilrun Stone
• Level 5 Dilrun Stone
• Level 4 Elrun Stone
• Level 5 Elrun Stone

The Enhanced Level 5 Elrun Stone uses its own separate 5% roll.

Enhanced Stone Farming Summary

A complete four-piece armor set needs one stone per piece for each conversion. Plan farming around the number of remaining armor pieces rather than only obtaining a single stone.

7. Practical Progression Advice

Complete the Base Set First

Every armor slot progresses separately.

Before investing heavily in enhancement, try to obtain:

1. Top
2. Bottom
3. Gauntlet or Glove
4. Boots or Shoes

Confirm that every piece belongs to the correct armor line for your class.

Do Not Confuse Red Valley Armor with Dungeon Life Armor

The names can be misleading because both use the word Life.

The important distinction is:

• Red Valley Level 45 Fame armor: permanent and enhanceable
• Life armor from Cave of Exile, Maze of Armis, Traza Swamp, or Seashore of Phillog: temporary and not enhanceable

For example:

• Red Valley provides Life Saper as the start of Millena progression.
• Traza Swamp can drop Life Silider, Life Dillan, and Life Demos Heavy, but those dungeon pieces are not the evolved Red Valley items.

Save Enhanced Stones for the Correct Conversion

Enhanced Level 3 and Level 5 Elrun Stones are rare 5% boss drops.

Do not consume them without checking:

• The current equipment stage
• The target tier
• The armor type
• Whether the piece is part of the permanent Red Valley progression line

Farm Per Piece, Not Per Set

Every top, bottom, hand, and foot item requires its own sequence of upgrades.

A player upgrading a complete set must repeat each conversion four times.

For example, converting an entire 60+S set to clean Level 65 requires:

• 4 × Enhanced Level 5 Elrun Stone

Consider Guaranteed Progression at Valuable Stages

The Enhanced Level 3 Stone offers 100% success for the early conversion where the normal Level 3 Stone has a 70% success rate.

Using the enhanced version can be worthwhile when:

• The armor piece is difficult to replace
• Failure protection is limited
• The player wants predictable progression
• The material cost of repeating attempts is high

8. Endgame Checklist

9. Final Summary

The full Red Valley armor route is:

1. Obtain the correct Level 45 Fame armor from Red Valley.
2. Enhance it to 45+S.
3. Convert it to 50+S.
4. Use Enhanced Level 3 Elrun Stones to reach clean Level 55.
5. Enhance to 55+S and convert to 60+S.
6. Use Enhanced Level 5 Elrun Stones to reach clean Level 65.
7. Use standard Order Stones to progress through Level 70.
8. Convert the 70+S set into Level 75 Armor of Eternity.
9. Finish every piece at Level 75+S.

The two most important guaranteed-conversion farming stages are:

• Grizuly or Kingfla: Enhanced Level 3 Elrun Stone — 5%
• Eltraza or Gelbillong: Enhanced Level 5 Elrun Stone — 5%

Because every armor slot is upgraded independently, completing the full set is a long-term material and dungeon-farming goal rather than a single craft.

10. Arcbot Stone Crafting

The two nations follow the same stone progression. Quantities and costs are symmetrical. At lower levels, the nation-specific monster material differs. Level 6, Level 7, and Level 8 use the same materials in both nations.

Rain Arcbot Recipes

Millena Arcbot Recipes

Level 7 Elrun Stone — Exact Recipe

Level 7 Elrun Stones are required for the late Red Valley armor stages:

• 65+S → clean Level 70
• 70+3 → 70+4
• 70+4 → 70+S
• 70+S → clean Level 75
• 75+2 → 75+3
• 75+3 → 75+4
• 75+4 → 75+5
• 75+5 → 75+S

The Level 7 recipe is identical for both nations.

Full Four-Piece Set Cost per Level 7 Upgrade Step

Because every armor piece upgrades separately, one complete four-piece upgrade step requires four Level 7 stones.

Total Level 7 Stones Required from 65+S to 75+S

Each armor piece needs eight Level 7 stones from 65+S through the final 75+S form:

1. 65+S → Level 70
2. 70+3 → 70+4
3. 70+4 → 70+S
4. 70+S → Level 75
5. 75+2 → 75+3
6. 75+3 → 75+4
7. 75+4 → 75+5
8. 75+5 → 75+S

For a complete four-piece set:

• 8 stones per piece
• 32 Level 7 Elrun Stones total

Total Level 7 Materials for a Complete Four-Piece Set

> These totals cover only the Level 7 Elrun Stones. They do not include Level 1–6 stones, Enhanced Level 3 or Level 5 stones, insurance items, dice, or other crafting expenses.
