- [Finishing the Bora quest for the Ring of Rama](https://kathana.xyz/guides/how-to-finish-bora-quest-for-ring-of-rama/): Explains a party-based method for completing the Bora quest on a crowded server: the quest owner stays at the NPC to trigger Bora respawns while party members kill them in the Skarakoro rice field.

The delay gives an active player time to grab the real event loot. Includes a disclaimer that the method may be seen as underhanded and is subject to moderator review. (apx6291)
- [Kathana Mail System (Phase-1)](https://kathana.xyz/guides/kathana-mail-system-guide/): Explains the newly added Mail System that replaces the legacy version, and shows where players collect their rewards. The attached image covers the basic Phase-1 steps. (jarette)

- [Stat build for Samabat](https://kathana.xyz/guides/stat-build-for-samabat/): A player asks how to distribute chakra stats on a Samabat mage, with follow-ups on Abikara and Banar. Replies argue mental is the strongest build for leveling and mob damage, while a mental/heart balance is recommended for PvP survival against Jama Tirika, which scales off the target's TP. Later posts add that nerve helps accuracy/evasion for sleep and stun spells, and that base spell damage scales mainly with character level. (dudez1206)
- [Raising the FPS cap from 60 to 120](https://kathana.xyz/guides/how-to-setting-fps/): A player asks how to unlock 120 FPS on an NVIDIA laptop. The answer: open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to 3D Settings > Program Settings, add Kathana, and set Max Frame Rate to 120; if the game still sticks at 60, the monitor's refresh rate is the limit. A follow-up reply covers Linux (Ubuntu) users capping FPS with mangohud via a Steam launch option. (zero.one001)
- [Solid Nakayuda Build](https://kathana.xyz/guides/solid-nakayuda-build/): A stat distribution suggestion for Nakayuda: max Heart to 120 first, then 3 Muscle / 2 Nerve per level, with Nerve taken for accuracy, avoid and critical hit.

(khclrnemr)

No written explanation accompanies it, so the numbers must be read off the image. Replies note that stone costs shift with market prices and that only +9 sambadu is a guaranteed success. (hampang007)
- [Druka stat build: 100 base heart, rest muscle](https://kathana.xyz/guides/druka-build/): The standard Druka answer given in this thread: put 100 base chakra into Heart (base only, extra heart comes from item stats) and dump everything else into Muscle. Nerve is not recommended as a main stat for Druka; if you need accuracy or evasion, get it from armor/accessory refinement instead. Later posts argue for a mixed 3 muscle / 2 nerve "assassin" variant with heart accessories, plus notes on sword vs dagger and offhand upgrades. (stambirdy_07346)
- [Dull Weapon Yuda: pros, cons and stat build](https://kathana.xyz/guides/dull-weapon-nakayuda-what-s-your-take-on-this-pros-and-cons-please/): Answers explain that a Dull (mace/shield) Yuda trades DPS for debuffs, since Chamuse is exclusive to battle weapons, making it better suited to hard boss fights than to grinding. Recommended chakra setup is a standard 4:1 or 3:2 Muscle/Heart split, with one player detailing a level 74 build at 150 Heart and the rest in Muscle using D.Pariga and Phalaka of life, muscle charm and K ring. Listed pros include cheap pot upkeep, strong debuffs (Saata, Janati Para), high defense and safe AFK grinding at ~3k HP; cons are melee-only grinding, slow movement speed and the missing damage skill.

No incluye cifras ni detalles adicionales en el texto del mensaje. (hampang007)
- [Solid Druka Build](https://kathana.xyz/guides/solid-druka-build/): A short stat-allocation plan for Druka: pure 120 Heart to level 90, then 4 Muscle / 1 Nerve per level. Explains that Nerve is taken for accuracy, evasion and critical hits on basic attacks, aiming at bleed/shock burst damage. (khclrnemr)
- [Moriya test answers for the 2nd job change](https://kathana.xyz/guides/tantra-2nd-job-moriya-test-answers/): A single screenshot listing the correct answers to the Moriya quiz required for the Tantra 2nd job change. No written explanation accompanies it, so the reader must match the questions shown in-game to the image. (looter4ever)
- [Auto-potion stops working when PETA inventory expires](https://kathana.xyz/guides/auto-hunt-issues/): Explains that if potions such as Panaka or Amrita are left in the 2nd (PETA) inventory when it expires, auto-hunt's auto-potion fails because it keeps scanning that locked inventory. The fix is to empty the 2nd inventory before the PETA expires. A reply confirms that all consumables inside an expired 2nd inventory are locked and ignored by the system. (hyster0810)
- [How Blue Orbs work: 1 minute per orb](https://kathana.xyz/guides/1-minute-blue-orb-guide-to-amara-15/): Explains that right-clicking a Blue Orb from the inventory only grants a 1-minute buff, which is why the orbs must be placed on the hotbar. The system grants 240 orbs because 240 minutes equals the advertised 4 hours of buff time. (jarette)
- [Loots for all monsters for beginners](https://kathana.xyz/guides/loots-for-all-monsters-for-begginers/): Links to a forum topic listing monster drop tables and adds screenshots of the same loot lists. Useful as a quick reference for which mobs drop which items, but the content is images and an external link rather than searchable text. (traxxxsu)
- [Hybrid Abikara stat distribution](https://kathana.xyz/guides/what-is-the-best-build-for-hybrid-abikara/): A player asks whether a hybrid Abikara build (150 mental, 50-100 heart, rest nerve) works alongside a +11 two-handed weapon. Replies say mental should stay the main focus, with nerve or heart added only later to survive Karya burst damage and Abikara-vs-Abikara fights. There is also disagreement over whether mental caps at 800 on this server. (chris_penson)
- [Byru crafting reference images](https://kathana.xyz/guides/byru-crafting-guide/): Screenshots showing the Byru crafting recipes along with a second image listing the stats of the rings and their level 1 versions.

- [Solid Abikara Build](https://kathana.xyz/guides/solid-abikara-build/): A short stat allocation plan for Abikara: pure 120 Heart from level 1-90, then 2 Mental and 3 Nerve per level. Nerve is recommended for accuracy and avoidance against Karya and Druka. (khclrnemr)
- [Solid Satya Build](https://kathana.xyz/guides/solid-satya-build/): A very short stat allocation suggestion for Satya from level 1 to 90: max Heart first, then put the remaining points into Nerve.
