 So, I decided to add an extra section to this guide, in case some fellow Shadow Chasers might be interested. With the recent revamp (March 2024) of DM Point acquisition, Caspen Dungeon is slowly becoming a [[Death_Match_Points|Death Match (DM) Point]] farming site. With DM Points, you can exchange them into Zeny Bags via the Death Match Shop. Quite a few are complaining that Warlocks have a huge advantage because they can really ramp up the damage of one of their AoE skills, Storm Gust.
 <br><br>
-But don't fret. While we can't exactly match them in terms of damage output, we can at least farm comfortably with the use our innate skill '''Reproduce''' to copy <font color=blue>'''Storm Gust'''</font>, and utilizing headgears that grant the use of <font color=red>'''Meteor Storm'''</font>. The headgears below are ones that grant you the Meteor Storm skill.

-For Shadow Chasers, for this build, you will have to save the Storm Gust skill using Reproduce. This will replace the Illusion Doping skill that's currently saved (if you have it). This is because if you simply reply on Preserve, you will eventually get Dispelled inside Caspen Dungeon, thus your Storm Gust skill will get replaced by the skill cast by the mobs inside.
+For Shadow Chasers, for this build, you can choose to also copy <font color=blue>'''Storm Gust'''</font> using Plagiarism. However, if you don't have a Soul Linker cast Soul Link on you, you will get constantly Dispelled by Cuccoon. Note that, as of March 20, 2026, all skills copied by Reproduce, even if those skills are from 1st Jobs or 2nd Jobs, are disabled in maps that have 3rd Job Skills disabled.
 <br><br>
 For other classes, you can still make do with the use of Meteor Storm.

-<big>These are the items that you should aim for. I'm not saying that you should get all of them (like Nightshade Armor, King Schmidth suit, etc), but simply get the one that you can afford for the meantime. For example, even I don't have the Nightshade Armor at the moment as I feel that the King Schmidth suit that I'm using is more than enough to kill most Zeph mobs. Another example is Menblatt Card and Venenum Card. I'm still using Menblatt Card since I'm too broke right now. However, it's damage is not that far off from Venenum Card.</big><br><br>
