I know many people out there especially me, enjoy playing cabal online and really do like it. I know alot of you that are high levels have alot of experiences and knowledge on Cabal so share and help the noobs that are interested and that trying out the game. Couple of Tips on Cabal Online for noobs: System Requirements: (Your ganna need the mini. Reqs. or else you wont be able to play... obviously) 1. There are 6 classes of characters in Cabal Online: Blader: (Currently playing as and I also recomened being a blader buts it up to you... ) The Blader has the option of weilding dual weapons or single. Etheir choose from two katanas or two Blades or one blade on katana. The skills are preety flashy,sparkly,shinny,glowy.... etc. In my oppinion one of the best. -Its been said Bladers tend to have the lowest HP out of all the classes, I'll let you be the judge of that because im not 100% sure on that. -Spawn point when starting would be located in "Desert Scream" Force Archer: Force Archer is well.. An archer using Long range attacks. The Archers use a bow and two force crystals .Force Archers usually have very powerfull single strike attacks/skills. Force Archers have been said to be one of the best classes for PvP due to the long range and powerfull skills. -Spawn point when starting "Green Despair" -Archers have many advantages when fighting in PvP and PvE Force Blader The Force Blader uses Sword & Magic type skills/attaks. They weild katanas and force orbs. The Force Bladers require both magic and sword type skills which make them harder to build up but in the end just as powerfull as any other Class. Not Recommending to begginers. -Spawn point when starting "Green Despair" -Great PvPers Force Shielder: The Force Shielders weild a sword and a sheild making them your sword and magic type class with a defence of a warrior. They have a blader and a crystal which tranforms into a sheild. Force Sheilders are said to be good for PvE due to their skills. They are similar to Force Bladers they must have a magic and sword balanced skill. -Spawn point when starting "Bloody Ice" -Slightly Harder to use in PvP just SLightly. Warrior The Warriors weild the giant sword, your well known tanks. Warriors are able to weild the great sword or the daikatanas (Bigger than regular katanas~more damage) Warriors have the highest damage in Cabal Online and have an awesome defence. Making them the class with the best defense and attack. Warriors have high HP and defense stats making them very good for PvP and PvE. Recomened for Begginers! -Spawn Point when starting "Bloody Ice" -Big sparkly swords with great damage -Great for PvP due to the powerfull skills. Wizard Wizards are the spell casting, long ranged type class. Wizards weild two orbs (no wands or staffs). Wizards deal high damage and have great advantage due to the long range. Wizards do have a poor defense but there are many skills which prevent the monsters from even reaching you, so keep that in mind if your worried about the defense. -Good PvPers due to range and skills -Spawn Point When starting " Destert Scream" 2.Combo mode: The combo mode system is a skill that you receive after reaching lvl 10 and completing the required quests. Combo mode is really really usefull skill. The combo mode requires atleast 3-5 skills in order to do properly. So around lvl 15+ you should be able to do the combo mode succesfully a couple of times not just after two skills. The combo mode does take some practice to get use to and to master. Its not easy at first, trust me its not, so don't get mad if your not good at it. Basically the combo mode is that once you select the skill you'll see a bar on your screen. The bar has a meter which fills to three colours: Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. Now you may be thinking ( I did) That green must be good and red must be bad. Buts its the complete opposite Red is Good green is BAd. The combo mode requires good timming if you press to early like an idiot your going to miss if you get any other colour you'll hit. the better your colour the harder you hit. Still don't know what the hell to do??? Okay, all you have to do is press your skill at the right time to hit succesfully, you can keep using your skills to infinity. So the combo mode never ends unless you miss. Like I said above if you only have 2 skills your not going to be able to use the Combo Mode constantly, the cooldown is something you must respect. 3. Aura Mode: Auro Mode is something you obtain after reaching lvl 20 and completing the required quests. Aura mode has 3 elements: Water, Fire, and Wind. It does not matter which element you choose, all the element does is a temporary boost that amplifies your damage. Very Usefull When in Trouble!! More Auras but these are just some of them! Hope you liked this little "heads up" or w/e you want to call it!!

 The news is from cabal online US official site , open beta will start on Feb. 1st. Players who have expected for long time now can enjoy yourselves! Here is the news: Thank you to all the Closed Beta Testers who finished their sessions last night with a fantastic Closed Beta experience! We've received so much wonderful feedback, it is difficult to contain our excitement. Rather than hear it from us, find out what some of the CBT testers had to say: "It was easy to learn, challenging for a newbie, but oh so much fun. In particular I loved the questing portion." "It is a dream that soon, the guild I was in will be recreated, that soon, I will be able to help new players into the amazing and breath taking universe of Nevareth." "I've played more MMO's than I can count, grinded through Lineage 2 and WoW, mastered the cosmos in EVE online, but nothing compares to Cabal." Thank you to our friends at MySpace for your exceptional feedback! On to business: OPEN BETA TESTING The Open Beta Test will begin on February 1st, this Friday! Players do NOT have to redownload a new client, we have decided that we will update the existing Closed Beta client once OBT begins. That means EVERYONE can download the existing client now in order to avoid the rush once OBT starts. Click HERE to access the download directly.
