Novices can't really do too much. They have a skill that can be learned via a quest called "Play Dead" that is handy, but you lose the skill if you chose any other job class (I forget is Super Novices keep it or not). Get to job level 10 and decide on what class you want next.

Your basic physical strong hitter class. Carries a sword (two handed or single handed), spear, or dagger, and a shield (if you're using a single handed sword/dagger). Swordsmen can be built a few different ways. My personal choice is to build his stats in STR, AGI and some DEX. If you're going to be a tank, swap out AGI for VIT.

Knight
Knights are sick mob control, as bowling bash is a Stooges-level attack that smacks the lead enemy in a cluster into the ones around or on top of it, doing massive damage to all of the monsters in the group. An AGI-based knight can use two-handed quicken to puree monsters while dancing around their feeble attempts to counterattack your rain of pain that falls mainly on their brain. Bowling bash is handy for when a gaggle of the bastards come a' callin', and need to be thinned out so your FLEE doesn't get destroyed. Being attacked by multiple enemies severely cripples your ability to dodge attacks, which is why mobbing tough enemies with multiple people is so effective.

If you go VIT, you are a fortress of smack, and can ignore many enemies' attacks due to your massive health pool and high defense rating, in addition to your absurd health recovery abilities.

Crusader
Crusaders gain a massive HP pool due to the Faith skill. You'll want it as its a requirement for most of the other skills and also because getting some 16k extra HP is just a nice thing to have.

Interestingly enough, you'll likely want to start investing some what into Int for a crusader as they are more skill dependent than their Knight counterparts. Holy Cross, Grand Cross, and a variety of shield skills will be soaking up your SP pool so invest some what into Int.

If you'd like you can go the Spear Quicken route as well. Crusaders don't get as many skills with the spear that Knights do, but you'll be able to do some spear based attacks if your build is made for speed.

If you plan on being your teams tank (like I am) You'll want to invest in Devotion. Devotion allows you to take all incoming damage for your party member (within a 10 level range of your self). This is very good for squishy classes like mages and other classes that have spells that need a few seconds to cast. By devoting them you'll soak up the damage while they continue to cast without issue. Just be sure to have some potions or a healer on your team.

Toss magic bolts of different elements at your foes. Wields staffs or daggers. Magicians are best used with INT (for strong spells) and DEX (for faster casting) builds. Other good skill points can be AGI to evade attacks, or VIT to take more hits.

Wizard
Wizard is basically AoE and concentrated damage attacks, with some oddities here and there. Want to farm looter enemies fast? Cast Storm Gust on your location, danger close, and turn off autoloot (type @autoloot in the chat box/console). Drop an item to start the pain train, and keep casting it. Enemies in thick-spawning areas like Neko Island will come running for the great taste of face-rape.

Sage
Offensively, sages build on the mage skill tree by allowing movement and auto-attacking while casting spells. Sages also have an ability that lets them auto-cast spells for a discount while attacking, opening up the possibility of an agi-based build.

Before they transcend, sages are an unusual support class. They provide utility to their physically attacking allies by changing the element of their attacks. They can also dispell buffs from enemies and debuffs from allies

After becoming a professor, the support sage's role changes entirely. They gain access to soul change, an ability that switches your mana pool with an ally's, and life tap indulge, which lets them trade health for mana. Their role as mana batteries makes them essential for large parties.

Long range fighter. Archers who are using bows require arrows. So always keep an eye out on your arrow count before going into the field as arrows are consumables. You can find arrows for sale in most NPC shops. Archers Damage with a bow is determined by the DEX Stat. So pump up that DEX. Similar to the mage AGI can help you evade foes while VIT can let you take more hits.

Hunter
Hunter is what it says on the tin. You're a remorseless killing machine that cannot be reasoned with or bargained with. The judicious use of traps to immobilize enemies allows you to solo some MVPs, making lesser enemies a cake walk. Groups of enemies are a bit of a hassle, and there are skills to deal with that, but mobs should be avoided. Unless you went full luck and have your accipiter hawk just brutalize anything and everything you notch an arrow at.

Bard/Dancer
You graduate from a high-DPS Archer to a heavy duty utility class; however, Bards and Dancers are still able to level on their own, using what they've learned from being an archer.

They have the ability to "perform" and lay down an aura that causes various effects based upon the song or dance used.

You'll notice that you can only become either a Bard or Dancer based upon whether you are a boy or grill: boys being Bards, grills being smoking hot Dancers.

For both classes you gain the ability to wield close-range weaponry that deal damage based upon Dexterity rather than strength. Whips for Dancers, Instruments for Bards. Both with respective mastery skills that also increase song/dance effectiveness. So max that mastery, really.

They can also throw arrows at enemies using their weapons. Kind of neat.

Both gain access to Ensembles which require both a bard and a dancer to have invested in, and they're pretty niche-use. Do not worry about getting one too much unless you have your heart set on it with a partner bard/dancer. No, bards can't perform with other bards; thas' gay, yo'. And dancers cannot dance with other dancers– that's forbidden love.

Now for the obvious differences between the two classes.

Bards tend to lean towards support, reciting poems, songs, and ballads that inspire those around them.

The first is A Poem of Bragi which decreases cast times and cooldowns, and you are going to learn this song or you are not a Bard. Its effectiveness is based upon the performer's intelligence and dexterity.

The second is Apple of Idun which increases max hp for everyone who hears it. Based on Vitality.

The third is Assassin Cross of the Sunset. It inspires people to stop being wusses and attack faster. Based on Agility.

The fourth and kind of lame song is A Whistle. It increases flee rate and perfect dodge. Based on Agility and Luck.

Bards also have a screen-wide skill that freezes abso-lute-ly everything named "Frost Joker". At level 5, it's a 40% chance to freeze whoever is unlucky enough to hear you attempt to make a joke. Even your party members. It's fun as h*ck.

Pastebin for editing the lines that are spat out when using it: pastebin.com/Pv54axVC

Overall, Bards tend to be the life of their parties.

Dancers however tend to be the center of attention with their performances.

Please Don't Forget Me is the name of one of their dances. It heavily decreases walk speed and attack speed for anyone caught in its range. Fantastic for WoE, an absolute nightmare to deal with when attempting to assault. Acts like a moving ultra-quagmire in PvE however. Attackspeed reduction increases with Dex, Movespeed reduction with Agility.

Service For You largely increases the SP pools of all who watch, along with decreasing sp costs, and increasing sp regen rates. It's a lovely support dance, and expected to be maxed if you plan to level in a party. Effectiveness based solely upon Intelligence.

Fortune's Kiss increases critical rates of everyone in eyeshot. Kind of lame, but pretty nice for melee attackers having trouble hitting mobs. Based upon Luck.

The last dance, "Humming", increases hit rate. Don't get this. That is, don't get this if you aren't planning to get Into The Abyss for fun Abra Kadabra parties with a bard friend.

Dancers get a screen-wide stun, as compared to bards who get a screen-wide freeze, named Scream. You shout lewd things at everyone and the shock causes them to drop everything. Even your party members. Fun.

When either class transcends, they gain some more utility. Neat things like Arrow Vulcan which will make up for being a really slow attacker with a 1200% attack burst of arrow-slinging, Tarot Card of Fate which can and will fuck up everything and everyone in PvP if they're unlucky enough, Marionette Control which endows a party member with half of your stats (you can't do fugging anything while controlling someone), and Longing For Freedom which allows you to move around and act while performing an ensemble.

The Happy Merchant is here! Merchants are primarily used by players who just want to get more profits on the loot they sell to NPCs. But can also be used to sell items to players by setting up a shop. You'll find lots of player owned shops around towns. Merchants can also be good fighters similar to swordsmen. To be completely honest, I don't really have a good idea on how best to make your merchant, but if you'd like to fight with a sword, dagger, or axe, I'd recommended a similar build to a swordsman.

Blacksmith
Two-handed axes suit Merchants.

Remember, the weight that you have on your cart makes you hit HARDER, therefore ALWAYS have your cart filled to maximum capacity with whatever useless crap you have. Try to reach the perfect cap.

AGI / STR are your friends with a Blacksmith. They hit harder than Knights and faster than them, exception of a Frenzy Lord Knight. Knights just are faster, last longer and are easier to have.

Blacksmiths / Whitesmiths lack proper AoE skills, and the best skills costs MONEY, so be sure if you want a merchant.

However, if this server has resets, that I dont know, you can perfectly fine have a Blacksmith reach lv99 and not rebirth him, reset his stats to DEX and LUCK to craft elemental weapons to yourself and the guild, you can also sell them to players since they are quite valuable.

Since you craft weapons, you can try to upgrade them beyond the safe +4, try to reach +10, don't go beyond that.

Whitesmiths (rebirth of Blacksmith) can UPGRADE weapons way better than the NPC with better % chance and with less materials."

Alchemist
Alchemists are an intresting bunch. They have the ability to craft potions and summon some monsters to fight for them, thoguh a bit limited to plants and marine spheres (basicly time bombs).

An Alchemist can toss potions to his allies for just a little extra kick from the potion. Works well when teaming up with SP dependant classes (as long as they let you know they need SP).

One of the best reasons to make an alchemist though so for the Homonculi. Homonculous come in 4 diffrent flavors (with 8 looks betwwen them all), One has quick attack speed, another is a magic bolt user, then you have the tanky one. And finaly you have the sort of odd one that costs more to maintain than the others. but at least she's a cutie.

Do your Bio Ethics quest and get one after crafting an Embryo and do your best to help your guildmates with there brewing needs.

Agile and quick hitters, Thief's can do very well for a new player who's looking to get a bit more out of each fight. Using daggers or swords Thief's can learn double hit as a passive skill to sneak in a little extra damage per hit. They can also attempt to steal items off monsters even if they don't fight them at all! Thief's are built best with STR and AGI in mind with some DEX thrown in. There are other ways to build a Thief but that's just my suggestion.

Assassin
Your go to for pvp instagibbing. That's most of what they do. They have very few skills and half of them are shit. They are good at both pvp and pve regardless of how you build, but you have few build options. Build STR+INT for maximum pvp instagib plus mobbing option or agi+str for pve and some pvp/woe action. Choose between double daggers or katars (katars are the cheaper option). Choose between Deadly Poison (fucking costly to make) + Sonic Blow/Grimtooth or the damaging SinX skills(they don't benefit from Deadly Poison). FYI Deadly poison costs a ton to make and only lasts for 60 but increase your damage by up to 400% (which, again, doesn't effect the SinX attack skills). That's enough to 1shit niggas with Sonic blow and it helps with destroying Emperium (how you take guilds), a lot. In short, you should always be useful for killing shit, it's a matter of what you specialize in killing and how.

There is more to know, but beginners only need to know that much.

Rogue
Dick-ass thieves. Well balanced jack of all trades that can do just about anything. Two very strong builds with them: dagger gank or bow. Dagger gank rogues are masters of getting comfy, left clicking mobs, and raking in tons of loot. Bow rogues don't have a variety of ranged attacks like hunters, but they have a lot of utility skills to keep them alive. Double strafe as a bow hunter is stable and easy, dagger gank with plagiarism can get frustrating but allows for some cool shit and lodsemone. Able to dabble in everything but masters of nothing but theft.

Get about a million times better as a Stalker, where they transition from master looters to extreme perverts who enjoying leaving their opponents crippled and naked instead of outright killing them.

Acolyte is a base class focused on healing, buffing, supporting oneself and others and fighting demon and undead monsters. There are essentially two paths when playing as acolyte: going maximum support and undead-killing with high intelligence and vitality into a Priest or building as a self-buffing battle class that will eventually change into a Monk. Regardless, with so many useful acolyte skills changing class at Job Level 50 is practically mandatory in all cases.

Important skills: Heal, Agility Up, Blessing, Pneuma (all builds), Angelus (Support), Divine Protection lvl 10 and Demon Bane lvl 10 (Monk)

Priest
The ultimate party support and healer. With high Int, Vit and some Dex you have great healing, solid survivability and good casting time to keep your teammates buffed and healed with minimal SP downtime. Even if by some miracle you don't have people wanting to party with you you can still solo level by healbombing undead monsters and exorcizing powerful undead like Anubis. High vit is mandatory for PVP and War of Emperium as you will be targetted by virtually everyone of the enemy team.

''Important skills": Impositio Manus, Ressurrection, Magnificat, (all builds), Kyrie Eleison (Priest) OR Assumptio (High Priest), Turn Undead (Exorcist).

Monk
Unlike the support-oriented Priest, the Monk is a more rounded and self-sufficient fighter with some supernatural abilities of his own. Monks have a wide variety of skills available - from high damage combo attacks to the close-ranged Investigate which deals higher damage the higher the defense of the foe to freezing attacking foes with Blade Stop and their most famous skill - the incredibly powerful Asura Strike. The downsides to being a monk are the very limited SP, limited support abilities and the fact that many of your skills are forced neutral damage, which makes it difficult to deal with certain foes and builds.

There are two paths one can go when playing as Monk/Champion: agility-focused combo builds that deal good sustained damage and can easily dodge enemy attacks (and are fun to boot) to dexterity-focused builds that rely on their spirit skills such as Investigate and Finger Offensive as well as Asura Strike. Regardless, you will want very high strength on both counts for maximum damage.

Important Skills: Summon Spirit Sphere, Investigate (All Builds), Triple Attack, Chain Combo and Combo Finish (Combo), Finger Offensive, Asura Strike (Spirit), Dangerous Soul Collect and Body Relocation (Champion).

Taekwon's are a pretty interesting character type. They primary use no items to attack with other than their kicks. Leveling up Taekwon's skills are basically determined if you'll go ether Taekwon Master or Soul Linker. Level a Taekwon with STR, AGI or VIT and some DEX to help hit. You'll start out your early days being a physical fighter so be strong for now. If you decide to go the magical path of a soul linker, you can always reset your stats in this server (for a price of zenny).

Tekwon Master

Star Gladiator (Taek Master) are the most weird class of the bunch, depending if the number of the day is odd, or if it's day or night or what month it is… His power changes.

He can only have one of these powers in three maps, however, you can stack all of these in a single map.

It also focus on targets with the same name, choose wisely.

As you can see, it sounds pretty stupid, but when you have a Star Gladiator stacked a single map, they become GOD destroyer of worlds.

This little fellas deal MASSIVE damage on that map and are truly fearsome.

If you are an advanced player or you want to invest to be filthy RICH make a Star Gladiator and put your three maps on Morroc, where all the Satan's Morroc shadows are. If you focus the Ghosts you can try to lure them alone and 1v1 them into oblivion and pray to the gods that you get Diabolus ring, which usually costs a fucking fortune."


Soul Linker

The more mystically-inclined Taekwons can become Soul Linkers, eschewing their martial foot fighting to become one of the most powerful magic classes in the game. Soul Linkers can…


These buffs do anything from allow Bards and Dancers to benefit from their own auras and cast eachother's auras, to doubling the damage and halving the cooldown of an Assassin's Sonic Blow, to enabling a Super Novice to ignore many class restrictions on equipment.


These include heal-when-struck Kaahi, auto-revive-on-death Kaizel, damage ignoring Kaupe, and magic reflecting Kaite.


These include the immense slow Eswoo, and the trolling Eske/Eska


These include the knockback Estin, the stunning Estun, and the nuking Esma.


While they lose the ability to cast all of their kicks, they can still cast High Jump and Running.

While the Soul Links, Ka- buffs, and Es- Debuffs are fairly self-evident in their power, the Es- damage spells are perhaps the most impressive single target damage spells in the entire game:

Unfortunately, due to their power, they have several severe limitations:


In spite of their one-man-army PvE power and their extremely powerful support buffs, they are not recommended for a first-timer, as they usually require a stat reset (if not also a skill reset) after becoming a Soul Linker, are fairly dependant on a feel for the game's mechanics for their survivability, and a large amount of skill build pressure.

They are however a very solid second-or-later choice, as they are effectively the Magical equivalent of a Sniper, only with more mobility, more survivability, and lacking an ammo crafting requirement."

Gunslingers are ranged fighters who specialize in firearms, be it revolvers, shotguns, Gatling guns or grenade launchers (there might be more but I think thats all of them). Gunslingers will have to buy all there ammunition from venders, similar to how a archers arrows are consumables so are bullets and shells. Level up similar to a archer with Dex as your primary focus. AGI or VIT to dodge or stay alive longer. Gunslingers are pretty neat if you can get the hang of them, but NOT A RECOMMENDED STARTER CLASS as the weapons are expensive and the ammo is slightly as well.

Extra Notes from another User:
" This is a FUN class with NOTHING more. It's REALLY expensive to have a Gunslinger and ANY class do all of their jobs better.

However it's just fun to switch from pistols to shotguns or gatling gun just cause you can.

His skills costs money too even."

Ninjas are a little strange as they can be ranged, up close and magical all at the same time. Figure out what one you want to make and build accordingly. I've seen some pretty crazy stuff done by ninjas in my time, so I've come to respect them as a class. Plus they look neat. Sorry for lack of detail on this class, I've never successfully built a proper ninja so I have little to offer.

Extra notes from another user:

" Like the gunslinger, its an expensive class and not recommended for beginners.

However Ninjas can be of use unlike Gunslingers.

Melee if PvP. Magician Ninja if PvE and PvP. If you wanna throw shurikens in PvE delete the character."

"Cicada Skin = broken. With it, you can go full INT and punch above your weight, letting enemies push you away without damaging you, so you can smack them with fast-cast magic, then renew the cicada ability right as it breaks. Great for dealing with the ninetails and poison spores while sniping greatest generals two east and one south of Payon. Level 50 or so in no time flat."

Masochists unite! This is your class if you feel like suffering as a novice for 45 base levels. Super Novices (or SN) will find that they have all main 6 1st classes skills available to them! Whats nuts about it is that you're allowed to get 99 Job levels! So you can really get a ton of first class skills and mix and match. Mind that because of this builds will vary. But if you can deal with the suffering and strife of those first 45 base levels as a novice, this might just be for you.

pandoraonline.net/heRO_wiki/index.php?title=Buddy_Beanie

I highly suggest any new players attempt this quest. Not only will it familiarize your self with the world, but also unlock this wonderful hat.

"The Buddy Beanie is a hat geared towards lower level characters! If you are base level 85 or lower, then you obtain the following bonuses: +600 HP, +80 SP, 5% more exp earned from non-boss monsters. All characters gain the 3 defense from the hat regardless of base level, and it is refinable. It has a weight of 20, is equipped in Upper Headgear slot, and requires a minimum base level of 12 to use. "

A collection of praises from users in threads.

07/14/16 (Thu)
"The game has a level of open-endedness that only games like EVE can top, and this was further reinforced by constant updates of good content and a subtly enforced sense of community; players are also relevant to the game at all times, whether its to the economy through item/card drops, what content they can access,or community-driven matters.

We may urge people onto an easy fast track for leveling, but even amongst us being eager to share our veterancy, we all have varying ideas and strategies about how to play the game and progress, especially early on; and this is something that's even survived the era of forum/gamefaqs guides for literally everything.

Everything about the game, from its art to its music was solidly done and iconic; down to every last enemy and map in the game, which you could show to any RO player and they could tell you something unique about it; whether it's the weakness of the enemies there, the card the wandering boss of the area drops, the requirements to enter, or just the music.

To me, it's the Thief of MMORPGs; a game that's spectacular, only because it did things right, and it should've been surpassed far, far long ago."

07/14/16 (Thu)

That's a bigger deal than it sounds like.

Just saying RO is merely more open than ToS is an understatement, you can go anywhere anytime and party up with anyone to kill strong ass monsters to level fast or get good gear, you will most likely die trying though, because the monsters are a real danger even if you have the same level as them.

There are no questlines guiding you through the game, you basically level just by killing mobs and the few quests give you stuff like items, special skills and access to new areas.

The gear is much more solind in this game too, Instead of getting a new sword every 5 levels you can get a top tier neutral element frmo the shop instantly if you have the cash, note that it may not be the best sword, because those often lack card slots for advanced builds and they have no element. This makes crafting gear and refining a much more important thing right from the low levels.

The best thing in it to me is the monster layout and party playing, there are strong monsters everywhere and they can be anywhere on their respective maps, makes playing with a party very important in almost every place you go especially on the higher level areas. Of course you can still solo, but you'll be pretty limited and will have to tackle weaker challenges.

Note that when you kill an enemy, no matter your level, you always get the same XP, so no matter if you're and kill a lvl1 monster or manage to kill a lvl100 one there's no XP penalty. You still get shit % frmo the low levels because they give you low XP already, but killing stronger enemies anywhere is very rewarding. In most MMOs and even ToS if you team up and kill a strong monster you get shit XP because of level discrepancy, instead you have to go into shitty instance dungeons and kill low level strong monsters.

Ok, thats all the pasta served up.

So we have a new guild for more players (our last filled up with mostly active players).

We still have our items from our oldbie friend here:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x6BeEQBEt7hyZ0IVSwv_L30s6_Wy8aUW8dLugzvyOG8/edit?usp=sharing

If you'd like one you'll be marked as a Holder in the guild. you may only hold one thing at a time and must be with the title "Eternal" before asking. Eternal is gained after at least 3 days of activity (let me know if I missed you)

Let's continue to do our best and have some fun times.

I've just been missing around in this game, its pretty comfy. Is the Alchemist Class useful and ok for a newbie?

...

Autists shitposting on @main made me forget to post this

The alchemist is not really good for newbies, honestly. You need access to a lot of resources to level it.

I need that
Guild Invite
my dudes

You need to stay on longer than 10 mins man. Every time I've tried to invite you into the guild you've been offline.

Alchemist is highly warmed against for new players, especially if it's your first real character.

They're a very good class (especially once they Transcend), they become highly effective single target and AoE healers by throwing potions into your friends' fucking face, or can become seriously competitive ranged DPSers (albeit seriously expensive ones)… buuuuut they're excruciatingly punishing to level due to how lacklustre Merchants are for the first 50 levels you need to go through to become an Alchemist, which will kill your enthusiasm for the game / that character. As well as how expensive and slow Alchemists themselves are to get off the ground.

For example, in order to make stuff like potions, or acid bottles, you need the relevant Creation Guide, the guides are bought from NPCs and in total, the full set of guides costs over 1 million zeny, which you just won't have access to as a new player for a while.

Things get easier once you get your Homunculus, which you can use as a levelling buddy (eventually your Homunculus will be able to carry you in most situations), and customize the AI for. But the road to get there is so long and arduous that if you aren't seriously prepared for it, you just shouldn't.

If you are interested in making an Alchemist, I'd suggest making a Hunter first, which you can use to more easily gather money, materials, and equipment that you can funnel to your prospective Alchemist to ease the grind.

how bout now

OKAY LISTEN UP FAGS

Battlegrounds exp has been nerfed to hell. It is no longer viable for exp (but still every viable for PVP gear). Instead, we should focus on doing Muspelheim and Mini-muspelheim which doles out massive exp. If you have an event bag wait until everyone is together to trigger the event. We have one scheduled Muspelheim event today in one hour and twenty minutes from this post. Get online around that time.

My class description made it to the pastaEeeeeee

The admins seem to hate the idea of players gaining exp through anything other than grinding Monsters of the Meme or Muspel.

Place your fucking bets on how many days we have until the Pupper daily gets nerfed into total obsolescence.

Rozen pls

post yfw you're not rozen

What the fuck

Guess I'll try to get a Monk for mining.

use merchant classes for that shit, cart is almost a necessity

No, I've got it.

Meme novice.

It gets a cart and warp portal.

I'm not even Rozen, but I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more.

Some of you guys are alright. Don't go to Prontera tomorrow.

I want to impregnate Megumin

Or be an absolute madman and go in without a resource buffer.

Fuck this country and it's shitty Internet. Can't connect, go on my guild brothers. I STAYED UP FOR NOTHINGGGGG

I don't know, Alchemist is not that bad to start as, and the reward of being a high level all-powerful Creator is pretty insanely good.
How are they different from Blacksmiths as first class? Just go full melee dps build and get your homunculus to help you, forget potions and int until you're a Creator. leveling pre-trans is easy enough and all you need to do really is get 8X and then join codomemes or scaramemes, easy with dailies, pupper, plain old auto-attacking with Mastery plus Homun. Even Acid Terror and Demonstration, if you don't plan to simply ignore them until trans for some reason, are afaik only affected by STR, DEX and +ATK.

They are the single worst levelling class in the game considering that this server doesn't let you AFK level.

I know some one wanted brewing done. If they're still up for that, let me know here with your character name.

Hey, does anyone know how much this item is worth? I got it from a box while fishing.

17500z before overcharge.

It's used for a soul linkers job change quest, but that's about it. I cant think of any other places where its useful other than for money.

Soul linker is witherless rose

Whenever you want to go cake farming, shoot me a holler. I'll be working on a new character by the name of Soundblaster, a rogue. Would have called her Swindle, but I used that name for a new alchemist build, and in hindsight, reversing the two would have been better.

Scratch that, soloing my way to hell on another new character, since everyone fucked off to Narnia.

To the BR from last thread, if you makes you feel any better, I only do the BR HUEHUEHUEHUE thing to Brazilians as a joke. Just like when we call swedes cucks or finns mongolian. As long as you can speak English there isn't any real connection in my head between you and the crazy kids in internet cafes.

...

oh ok thanks for the detailed info, I'll stick with my thief character until I get loadsa shekels.

The trick to leveling a merchant is to set them up like a thief, since you can carry a shitload of healing items. Heal what you can't dodge, kill quickly with a good knife, or a sword if you must.

Now if only I could level a crusader-build solo faster than getting my head stomped in by leaf cats, or falling asleep slaughtering mukas. It's been too long for me to remember how to level properly.

If all you wanna do is level, consider building towards grand cross and mob up nifflheim. I've heard it's very fast.

I have decided to become a sage.
(I found a book in the clock tower while questing alone)

Only need to gain 13 job levels in swordsman to even plan on doing that, first.


The job change quest is a pain in the ASS. Whenever you're ready to do it, I can supply you with all of the bullshit items you'll need. Make sure you have level 10 firewall and level 10 frost driver for the "practical exam".

...

Now you just have to gain seven more job levels on fucking leafcats, and you'll save a lot of hassle.

My only question is, are you a star?

...

You have to have the items in your inventory to add them to the mixture.

you are too soft user

Fuck off BR monkey

What can I say, I've been blessed with mostly positive online experiences with South Americans.
OTOH all of the nords I've known were either literally gay, autists that got extremely mad about video games all the time, or both.

lad, I…

Your contribution underlines your importance to the human species.


Maybe it's the games (or servers), that have a high entry barrier and a low tolerance for shitters?

So, where does everyone go for melee (first) job level grinding up to level JL 50 these days? I've killed nearly ten thousand mukas, based on the number of cactus needles I have in storage, and I don't think I can use them for the last ten levels. Leafcats were tedious enough when they couldn't rip my character's face off before I got the final hit in.

Try beetle kings, they're pretty easy to kill and are on monthly double xp.

das rite

They aren't worth shit when it comes to risk:reward. You'll either be spamming potions, or too high level for them to be worth going after, as their drops are complete and utter shit. If you're in a balanced party, nothing is a threat beyond flash mobs of bullshit enemies.

Kill me

Nishi here, sorry about suddenly dropping from the abyss party. We had a blackout in the area for a few hours. At least I got a nice screenie before I lost power

Ay fuck you guy.

Why not just play on the official server instead of being a thieving little shit?

Probably bait but I'll bite. Never heard of Renewal, clearly. It's the equivalent of the 2nd half of Cata/Rest of the expansions after of WoW, it just ruined fucking everything. You wouldn't pay for a steaming pile of shit, right user?

1. There's a classic server
2. It's free
You must be BR to be this stupid.

And you must be filtered :^)

Classic isn't pre-re either way, it's weird attempt at fixing the shit that was rene.

Sorry facts trigger you kid.

Oh RO, I'm bored enough to start again
nah, no thanks

It's honestly one of the more balanced servers. Donations just give you OPB's/OCA's, not donor items like OP wings (The wings take lower head and armor slot, so they kinda balance out over say, most servers only making wings part of middle headgear)

There's a reason for everything, user.

You mean that company that's owned by the third biggest company in japan?

You're trying to say that company running the game is somehow worse than some random faggot running a private server?

That's a whole new level of retard

No dude this is the most illogical DnC, you might as well tell everyone to abandon all efforts and bond in the past month for something people don't want.

What pissed you off dude? Or you doing this just for kicks?

I don't even play the game but it's hilarious watching the entire thread get shut down by one guy

I'm saying that it's an attempt at not having to deal with a baseline that's designed around making you want to buy P2W shit, as well as not needing to deal with good goyim who fell for it.

I regret taking the bait.

Mostly everyone who plays is sleeping, it's not exactly what I'd call a shut down, though I should've looked at his other post before biting his bait. Discussions will end up popping up when people are back. DnC troll in the last thread too, but the threads end up filling up and new threads are made eventually.

On the other hand, if you're bored enough to want to try, I can help explain some server features. A lot of custom content in items but generally the balancing is very strong, has stuff like Splendide/Brasilis/etc, while being pre-Renewal so it has none of the cancer. Only issue is we're the new kids on the block and everyone else is a grizzled veteran, so we don't have the gear or zeny to compete with them in WoE/PvP yet, but we'll get there. The server is fun to play on, and most people are friendly.

How much dex should an Sin have in katar build? I have 40 base, is this still salvageable if i have lvl 92? I mean base stats without job bonuses.


k

This may be surprising but video games these days have an in-game chat which means we don't need to post in the thread very often besides uploading images and other miscellaneous shitposting.

That's nice user, I'm sure your guild is thriving in a server with 50 people playing.

We're doing pretty well and people are enjoying themselves, does that per chance upset you? The idea of others having fun?

Nice, 'ur mad' and 'we're having fun' "arguments"

Stop bullying the special kids user

Well that depends what katar build you're doing. Are you going pure crit, sonic blow, soul destroyer or something else? If you're going sonic blow generally from what I've seen you want about 50~70 preferably on the side of 70

Does anyone want to play with me on server with higher rate?

Then i need to remake the whole shit on rebirth.
I wanted to mainly use katars and then use some daggers to get elemental support or for fun. I liked damascus that kei made me.
Thank you for your advice.

RO will just never be the same. Might as well give into Tree of Memes.

I don't want to discourage you, but let's be serious. You will never complete equip for WoE on that heRO server. Drop rate 3 means that you get a card about every 3000 kills. You would need several months of playing many hours a day to get decent gear. How many of us have so much time and dedication? I propose going to Once RO, with rate 50. Cards drop there every 300 monsters killed.

And don't think it will ruin your satisfaction from completing gear, because even on such high rate it will take you several weeks to build your character.

Shit I'm already playing on two different servers

ehhhhhhhh

Wow. the attempts to DnC are really on the rise.


Let's pretend that we all agree with you and say "you're right, this is taking too long, lets switch to a higher rate server" What makes you think that some one isn't going to come along and say "ugh, weeks? how about a server that only takes days to max out your character?" Then "hours" then "seconds".

We're not playing the game for uber max stats and gears. We're playing because we wanted to enjoy the RO experience. The server works and its a place for us to hang out and enjoy the game together. Things have been mostly fun. The worse thing that's happened so far I'd think is the BattleGrounds nerf.

I have to wonder if all this DnC stuff is coming from that other guild that contacted me in the server. If so, Hi "IM NAB WHAT OF IT" guild. That or maybe what I read about another exodus out of halfchan is causing this. Who knows.

Also, Peroroncino, I assume your advocating for another server is you resigning from the guild? If so I'd like to know so that I can remove you to make room. No bad blood, just curious.

Like I said in the last thread, I don't mind if people are talking about other servers, if anything it gives us a chance to compare. I'll continue to play on HeRO. I feel no reason to shift to another server.

Yes, you can remove my character from the guild, I gave my items and zeny to guildmates.

Someone needs to take their meds

Thanks for letting me know. If you ever decide to return just let one of us know and you'll be welcome to return to the guild.

No we just don't know what you're on about, imagine some hobo foaming and pissing himself in the middle of the mall.

Take your meds son

Also wedging a "DEAD SERVER" message on every MMO threads on Holla Forums regardless of user activities and server status isn't exactly smart.

What are you trying to say, stop sperging out and talk sense.

Take your meds son

Hey the sperg is trying to parrot his better

This is almost cute.

Damn, I'm kind of pissed I missed that. I don't think I've ever been there before.

Do you guys think it would be something we could do again?

Take your meds son

I myself prefer higher rates. But it's not matter of rates. It is matter of getting guild you may enjoy. If it were not for Infinty Guilds i would say fuck this. But Yullia, Logan, Rozen, Town, Kei and many others overall nice people. Even though i suck at playing, they never held it against me. I hated all mmos because i am so socially retarded i can't even find someone to party with, forced to grind solo. If only ragnarok was having good crafting system i haven't seen one fully satysfying me closest was eve online, i would jizz my pants. With moving, there is chance it would break apart. I vote stay. Fuck haters


Webm related.

So are you paid to be this defensive of a dead private server, or is it just extreme autism?

Take your meds son

we all spammed flywings just to get there and the middle section just happened to be clear. I'd like to do it if we'd gotten a big party to clear a path through each floor though. Seems more fun that way

I know the other guy triggered the shit out of you, but parroting what he said just makes you look like a bigger retard.

Take your meds

I admit it was hell on earth. We need some fuckhuge assault force.

Take your meds son

Kaffra list soon.

G-guys this is bangwashi does sonic and soab and mal still play?

Hey Bang! Whats the situation with your computer?

Sanic is the only one who we haven't seen around lately. I want him to return my +7 Pilgrim Hat if he's gonna be gone.

hi Bang im still farming porcellos

The guy whos suppose to check on it to repair it has not told me whats wrong with it yet. I think he did not even touch it yet.


Have you slotted your boots shit ya dingus

i can now do 135k dmg with lex
I tried to 7+ my lunakalingo but it broke

rolling

DUDE why didnt you ask yullia to do it

Aw fug man if I ever come back and not anhero we will have good times. Take care you guys

I did

o-oh

Glad to hear from u lad

The only thing I need for WoE is a Thara rn

Tharas should be saved for Magic Bibles/Valk Shields/etc, you can get a War Shield that gives a nerfed effect for free by just cashing in a minuscule amount of War Points from BGs.

This, if you get a thara save it for a good shield. Goes for most stuff actually (raydric/pasana/matyr etc)

already slotted in a +4 guard +4 cranial guard

Is our crafter on? I'd like to ask the price for an elemental fire dagger

Not a forger, but you should just need the materials for whatever dagger you want them to make (or however much of it you can get yourself) and a Flame Heart or 10 Red Bloods

Is this nigga for real?

"I just got an MVP card and I don't like its effect. Change it."

At least someone called him out, and reminded everyone that there was a poll up for months about whether the effects of the new cards should be changed before they were implemented, and most people said they were fine. Roger's defence to this was basically "I wasn't around that much then" as if his one dissenting opinion would have changed shit.

He already has a GTB and he is still this thirsty.

...

Alright, at least I know what to look for now. Thank you

You get a free OCA every time you kill the slut, why out yourself as a salty bitch by only complaining about one of many useless MVP cards?

Green apple porings (the custom on server) drop zircon on higher rate than most monsters.

Shit, thanks man. I've been trying to find toads to get zircons and getting frustrated when I've failed the coin toss 8 times in a row.

You can just buy Zircon from the NPC in Morroc

Man he's that same cuck who wants to get /dice as a punishable offense for BGs

Thanks for going out in a fun and helpful way.


TAKE CARE MAL!

We'll miss you.

See you around, Mal.

Thanks mal, enjoy whatever else you decide to do.

Here's something weird to look. archive.is/KaMyj

Beastmaster Service Announcement

Attention all goyi… I mean good friends. I have recently just caught another Alice! She will up for grabs but instead of leaving it up to first come first serve I will leave it up to fate.

So my question to you guys is would you prefer a dice tourney or a novice fight to the death? Also what day would you guys want? Friday or Saturday?

how about an auction?

Alright but I'll have to start the auction at 10mi, remember its only 1% chance to catch her after all :^)

Is there anything other than mukas to level fast? I doubt someone will tank nekos for me.


That's a forum some spanish conartist faggot set up that copies every post from here.

I didn't get a chance to talk to you much but I'll miss ya all the same, good luck to you!

what gear are you using? 48 as a novice is pretty nuts to be honest. I can help you at nekos if you want, just I really hope you have some good gears to make it go faster.

I've figured out metalings are the way to go. They're easy if your AS is high enough to stop the Mammonite cast.

...

good to know, Satan

Th-thanks.

...

Clown college here I come!

It was a pleasure helping you reach the top of the mountain. The way tonight went, I should be able to flip my blizzard wizard before the weekend. Eyes are a bit itchy, even though I have all the lights on, so I'll just dick around soloing with my female thief.

Planning on making a wizard. Any build advice?

I stumbled across an old is 2008 officially old RO-dedicated imageboard from the good ol' days when it still seemed like a good idea to make a site for an audience of 20.

Worked for me, because all you end up using is ice with a twist of lightning, unless you're burning down geographers and leaf cats.

I don't plan on getting an Alice, but my suggestion would be a level 1 novice fight to the death.

No items, no weapons, no armor. Just your stat point choice. Everyone fights everyone and whoever scores the most wins overall gets it.

glip.ru/ro/skill3/asc.html?20GXFWoFHNsNboGSJy
How valid is that?

Pick one or the other, hand mastery for dagger build katar for katars

Thanks, no daggers for me then.

Cloaking not-10 is a mistake. Put the points you save from picking a weapon mastery into that.

Finally, this second card took me something like 10-12 hours to get. Fuck Zeroms.

You dont need to limit yourself to just one, you know. If you're not crit build you can use daggers just fine.

That mobster card I got, if anyone goes crit build im willing to give it to you if you plan to use it well. I doubt i'll be selling it anytime soon if at all

...

Only when you release yourself of all desire shall you have your reward.
t. Lee Myoungjin

I think that would be neat too. Dice would be easier to set up but novice fight would be baller as fuck as well. I was thinking of maybe having everyone pair off and have a roster system. You win, you move up on the roster.

I was also thinking of just a free for all melee and the last man standing two or three times gets the Alice Egg

How about dice as a first round, then fight as a second?

Roll a 1, get into group one, roll a 2, into group 2. ect. Then have everyone fight in that group, winners stay. do that until you have champs in each group. then have them fight 1v1.

maybe we can give out shitty hats to show what group your in.

That sounds good, I was also thinking of giving out 2nd and 3rd place rewards as well. Something like this

As for hats I guess we can give the groups those fucking neko hats for one groups, no hats for another and maybe glasses for another. Glasses come cheap in some city.

The strongest!

Yeah simple hats like that are fine.

So, when do you want to have this happen?

Thats what I was asking in the thread, whether they prefer this Friday or Saturday. As for the time, I dunno I live in Mountain time so the prime time for me seems to be around 7PM

Very nice. What makes a weapon VVStrong?

I'm glad that you like it.

I see someone is playing my fav card game.
star cumbs i mined and Kei included. We almost lost it cause it's only 35% rate at max. We had materials for second go though.

Alright so putting it all together:

Lvl 1 Novice Fight, no armor, weapons and accessories.

1st part will be a dice competition. Rolling 1-2 will be put in group A, 3-4 will be in group B and 5-6 will be put in C. Depending on the amount of participants each group will have a max number of people.

These guys will fight each other to get into the preliminaries. There will be 3 contestants and we will decide the victor based on a point system. Which will consist of of free for all between the last 3. First two to emerge victorious 3 times will head to the finals.

The finals are simple as it would 1v1 and would be based on a 2 out of 3 system

Prizes are as follows:

Time of the competition would be Saturday around 7 Mountain Time.

If you guys have any objections to the set up or suggestion, I'm open to them.

The money for the competition will come out of my pocket since I'm the one setting this up but if you have items you don't want and would be neat as prizes just let me know. I have some items and card I can give away as prizes but more would attract more guildies in.

I'm starting to think forging rates are higher in this server. I can really count in one hand the time's I've failed a weapon.

Should we make some weapons for this contest?

Can someone make me a fire damascus, I should have all the materials needed to make it at this point

I have everything on this and a burning heart as well

No, we will beating each other to bloody pulps. Also I was given some advice and decided to simplify it as much as possible so as to prevent confusion. I'll update the rules and how it will work out later.

Nah I break every weapon I get my hands on with 80-20 odds

I meant as consolation prize.

That would actually be pretty cool.

How many do you think you can have ready? You know just in case? I'll probably have you distribute them after the tourney is over..

Shal I start farming for Steel?

I'm going to give this game a go again, any class you guys need in the guild right now?

Not really too sure. are you coming back on an already existing account or a new player to the server?

If a new player to the server, go with whatever you'd like. Be sure to also make a merchant for selling goods with OverCharge.

Pedro here.
we need talk to kei. I can give people star crumbs to make some, but it will be a painstaking process. In retrospect we would need to farm lot's of steel and oridecon. i have some cracked diamonds and two rubies and zircon each

Wait i have a better idea. WE CAN LET THE WINNER MAKE A COMMISSION FOR WEAPON. Or not even winner, just randomly choose one.

imeant to link this

I figured something like that. I just couldn't imagine someone taking our ro thread. Shit's weird man.


The main issue with metalings isn't mammonite, it's shield reflect and disarm. Shield reflect is garanteed damage, if you're melee. Disarm is obvious(relog to remove debuff).


Tripfagging has actual reason here. I don't disagree with you, though. I didn't think Mark could do anything that's not sucking cocks. I don't like what he did with the email field.

Please.

This would be neat, just another way to sweeten the 1st prize pot

Lib here, did you mean like a raffle of sorts?

yea, lottery. Number of commisions randomly assigned to random participants. We will see how many if we get enough materials. I can give at least 20 star crumbs so we can make about 6 weapons from them? If we use elemental stones it will rise even higher.

But the problem lies in sheer amount of oridecon and steel and also we need
Heroic Emblem 3 or 60 sharp scales
Zircon 3
6 evil horns
3 cursed rubies
three cracked diamonds
and whooping 30 topazes or opals unless we say we don't make knuckles
FOR EACH PROMISED WEAPON unless we say we do each type only once.

Also we need priest with 10 lvl bless and gloria

Okay i need to sleep.
I think we need to stay with one weapon for now.

7 sounds pretty good, that'd be 11am the next day for me.

Got about 60 Steel at the moment. I'll farm more later if you need more.

That's upgrading, it's different

Where do you farm so much steel? Mining?

ratemyserver.net/npc_shop_warp.php?map=juperos_02&re_mob=0&small=1

Juperos level 2. bit of a pain to get to unless your a soul linker (with a creamy card). I mostly kill the Apocalypse for the Steel, but some times the Venatu drop steel too.

Carting in Geffenia really isn't worth it at 3x rates. Getting about 3k from each Incubus and 1k from each Sucubus

Terminate mavkas.

>Sure just get more levels

What level are you user?

I can help you get some if you're in range of 86.

Uh, how much you selling those autumn cat cards for? it slots into a weapon right?

Mavkas aren't that much better than Hill Winds tbh fam

The ragnarok online community is the nicest online community i've encountered and is largely why I returned. I come back to play with you guys and I am not disappointed that the tradition of being nice to eachother was not forgotten

...

probing*

atomixro.com/?module=news&action=view

Don't mind me, this is a link for Taroc. Long story, I'll tell you guys if you're interested.

Just a single merchant in an otherwise empty world.

I can't think of a worse existence.

Well that' better than what is used to be: a site for malware. I'm surprised that they are even hosting a server still. Probably some dirt cheap host that the own is paying for, but long since forgotten about.

If they're using the server software I think they are then that's just admin account showing as player. It's ded

A totally abandoned server is less funny …

Which class has the most active playstyle, utilising a good variety of skills?

It is because everything is so personal compared to other online games. If this were World of Warcraft you would have a window telling you "hey you can enter this dungeon! Do you want to que in?" and you can continue doing quests while the game automatically sets up a party for you of randoms. The people who join you are people specifically set up to fit in the party composition at your precise level to do this specific dungeon and they immediately leave when the instance is finished. You will never remember them and you will move on to do quests before getting paired up with four other randoms to do another dungeon. The game gives you items and exp for quests and you swap over your gear for better stuff or sell it off and it is over.

With Ragnarok you want to ask around people for who is in your level range, then work together to see what you can do with your party composition. You have to physically gather the party and figure out who is going to do which roles, and sometimes we have to work together to get one or two guys to unlock the dungeon. Sometimes the composition isn't clear-cut as "this guy draws aggro, this guy heals and everyone else DPS's". Sometimes you need the monk to Blade Stop Anubis so the priest can Turn Undead it in peace. Sometimes someone has to lure the MVP away from the spot you are mobbing. The bard has to use Poem of Bragi so everyone has an easier time to DPS, the monk and alchemist switch over to a mace because they can use Adrenaline Rush from the Blacksmith.

The game doesn't just give you more weapons and armor as you level up - you have to work with people. You can get the best weapon available in shops as early as level 25 in some cases, but to go beyond that you need a blacksmith, provide him with materials and upgrade it before turning it elemental, and that weapon is going to stick with you for a long time. You put effort into getting a slotted +5 armor, then +6, then +7 and maybe +8 until you finally card it and see a massive utility boost, and sometimes you work with friends to get multiples of that card.

Because the best items are found or forged by players, you might get weapons that are just not useful to you but invaluable to someone else. You might get multiples of a valuable item depending on where you are. I found a Burning Passion fire element guitar and handed it over to our bard because it was useless to me. One member in our guild made it his hobby to tame as many monsters as possible and hand them over to everyone in the guild for free. Those cracked diamonds are worth only 2 zeny when sold but are necessary for the blacksmith to forge gear. Give your herbs to the alchemist so he can turn them into far more efficient potions. Give your empty bottles for priests to make Holy Water. That Metaling hat is terrible for your DPS but it is great for your Paladin teammate. This is especially evident in an old server like this where old players put exorbitant prices so the entire guild works together to find items and split it with each other.

The game heavily encourages teamwork, and the best clans are the ones who use this feeling of being a part of something big to promote generosity within its clan members. This is why the community is so good, and this is why this clan is going so well. It is a journey and we are all walking it together.

The first that comes to mind is Priest - it is less health whack-a-mole health and actively more buffing teammates with the correct buffs (DPS with Impositio Manus, tanks with Kyrie/Assumptio, positioning yourself so Magnificat hits everyone…). Combo Monk and Taekwon Master require you to pay attention as you fight common mobs to maximize DPS. Wizards/Sages have different element spells for different foes in the map. Alchemist has you manage your homunculus accordingly. I can't really speak for the rest of the classes but I know Battle Blacksmith is basically "buff yourself and autoattack everything in range" so that is one you want to avoid.

congratulations!

it kill Jesus so it must be good

High priest is very active. It may seem that you only need to buff and heal at first, but you can tank,debuff, shield etc. It has a very high skill ceiling depending on what you're fighting against, specially when you have bragi support.

Guild invitation request
Misdierects - Wizard about to hit 99.
Perceptor - Sage going towards professor.

These are on separate accounts, because 12 character slots are not enough to keep me going.

I'll be dicking around with Misdierects for a little bit before work today, and maybe late at night.

You can tank but you shouldn't.

I attempted to PM ether of those, but seemingly not online.

Post on what one you want to get into the guild and what one you'd want on the alt guild.

Town, Eydan and Me chilling at poporing island.

I'm already in with Misdierects now. I can switch over to Perceptor now. Doesn't matter which guild, whichever needs a sage/professor.

God, leveling sage is going to be hell.

You won't have a dedicated tank in every party. You should know how to use safety wall and sanctuary, at least.

All the guilds are basically equal. Just the Alt guild is for Alts. We use #ally to communicate with all the guilds so its all connected.

Glad to hear you got in.

Thank you. As was the case before I was in, even as HattoriHandsoap (who I haven't deleted, just don't want to play right now), if anyone needs stupid crap for quests or platinum jobs, if I have it, I'll give it. Leveling 15 characters leads to a lot of crap in storage.

Going AFK for a bit to take a shower, as I have to head out to work in two hours, but if I could get an invite for Perceptor, that would be nifty.

Is there a way to change skin color in the server?

Can yuropoors join? Or will the latency be too much of an issue?

Skin color? perhaps with one of the very odd custom colors, but other than that no you're face color stays the same.


Pretty sure we have a few polish players or something like that. so give it a shot, might be ok depending on what your net is like as is.

Game was initially built to run on dial-up internet.

Have you considered sudoku today?


Latency is fine from yuroland, RO isn't that demanding in this regard.

(checked)
Alright, I'll give it a go. I played RO once before, a long-ass time ago. It was my first mmo. At one point, I used all my money to get a nice set of daggers, but then a "friend" I met wanted to "borrow" them to level his alt. Never saw him again. Stopped playing after that.

Neat.

Once you get in the server let us know your character name and we'll get you in once you finish the novice training grounds.

...

Why does skin color matter?


Did he offer to trim your armor too?

I want to roleplay as a nigger, either Thief or Gunslinger

Pick another game to dressup as your wife's bull, Anthony.

Man, getting this to work in wine was a pain in the ass. Anyways, latency doesn't seem to be an issue. The name is Aldariz.

What's your level? I'm considering leveling either a healslut or a mage so if you're still at the start I can tag along.

23, just switched to swordman. Throw me an invite.

Oh well my character will be starting from scratch but I'll probably hit you up if I catch up

Shouldn't be hard to catch up. I'm currently doing more research than actually playing the game.

What level are you now? I just hit 28

How the fuck do I get the 9 job levels I have until 50 as an aco going monk?

Currently 55/41, repeating the same shit I've been doing since base lv 41 is suicidal.

Do I just chug potions while beating leaf cats?

Getting into a party or getting babysat is the best. Battle acolyte is truly a huge pain and folks will happily assist you. If you have Pneuma you can try Firelock soldiers or Cruisers.

Leech off others as buffslave or use the healer quests to get 3 job levels a day.

Or just suck it up :^)

It's pre-Renewal, right? It should be easy:

You forgot

Ah, I just gave you bottles. Hope you have fun.


I made my smackolyte based on a thief stat build, so I was all AGI+STR, with bless and increase AGI bolstering my speed leveling. Mainly cookies and mukas. I didn't start using Neko Island until this week. Ugh…

Thanks for the bottles. Know of any place where I could farm some basic armor? Half my gear slots are empty.

What kind of armor are you looking into? I might have some spare stuff that you can have. I need to make room in my inventory anyways.

This is a fantastic milestone. I'll be a great chemist yet.

I want to be a 2h sword knight, but probably not full agi. I think I'll have more options if I go agi/vit hybrid. So any swordman gear works.

I mean, anything is better than nothing. I just got sandals just to have something in that slot.

It's a long way to the top.

But everyone had to start somewhere.

How do you check your points btw? I'm curious what my alchemists rank is.

Come to Lighthalzen and I'll give you some gear.

You should have that warp anyways as its our sort of home base.

It display the points you have whenever you get points, I think. Haven't found the command for it yet though.

/alchemist

Also
/blacksmith
/taekwon

I went full AGI, and bought that Easter Bunny Hat that casts level 5 increase AGI at random. With 2H quicken and a berserk potion, I am the definition of speed.

If I get too greedy setting up mobs for bowling bash, my flee crumbles to dust, but I do more damage in a shorter period of time than a VIT knight.

Leveling a VIT crusader is hell.

Gotta work with a party for Vit crusaders.

Solo work is hell.

How do i join the guild?

Whats your character name? If you are DumbAss, then you're not online at the moment.

No, my name is Balbo Briggins.

That pic is unrelated.

Hey send a message to me again, my message chat dissapeared.

Thanks for bringing this fucking game back into my life assholes. It's only been a month or so and I can already feel my life force slipping away.

Love you too user.

Battle for Alice Tournament

Alright so I've decided to simplify shit for the tourney. This will be a novice battle that will be held in the island you first start at.

When you first enter pair off with another player and wait. There will be only two judges and each judge will oversee a fight so don't start taking each other out until the judge gives the go for each pair.

There will be only one fight. If you win you move up on the roster and get to fight the next guy. If by the off chance you get into a draw, that same pair will fight again and if its another draw, you'll dice. This will be a no weapons and armor competition but don't drop your shit right off the bat, in the beginning fights the judge will come around to pick up your knife and armor to confirm you aren't using them.

Prizes are as follows:

There will also be a raffle sort of deal at the end where a lucky person gets a special weapon forged for them, so stick around for that. (Whoever offered to make it contact me an hour or two before the event starts)

The competition will be held tomorrow(Saturday) at 7 GMT, we'll probably wait about 10 or 15 minutes for any stragglers.

7PM I might add

Can you even duel as a level 1 novice? I don't think you can trade ether.

It's a good spot, but I just don't know how well it would work for some of the more technical things.

Damn, that's 3 am here. I can make the weapon, but it will have to wait a bit.

You can. I got in with Libertas to make sure it could all work out. At the beginning island you can drop all equipment, ask to duel with someone and anyone who dies respawns as normal in the beginning of the island.

Hmm we can just raffle it off and have them contact you in the thread.

Westr here, looking to get my alch Tjorn on the alt guild, if there's room. It's lonely to grind him up without #ally. I'll just be sitting in Lighthalzen if you're free.

Some NPCs were better off without portraits

Go see the fisherman or the GM assistant.

Yeah that one is great compared to some of the others I've seen. The GM assistant is the … gold standard of QUALITY but there are a few others that are quite striking, if for all the wrong reasons.

I like you

Herro, Lumila here.

Sorry guys I haven't been around a lot lately both due to IRL commitments and Enderal (mod by the guys who made Nehrim for Oblivion, Cube Experimental for FO3, Arktwend & Myar Aranath for Morrowind) has come out so I've been doing mostly that. If there are any big events post and I'll come (Like Mini-Muspel runs, I've got 2 bags and my battle manuals waiting), and I'll probably get back into RO once I've gone through Enderal (been missing my sandbox experiences better than by the guys who made the game/engine). I do want to play more but I spent a whole night modding my setup. Game on, and rrrrr-rabu.

This is exactly the thing I wanted from this game.

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea. I might as well just get a Mercenary if I'm going to spend that much money.

What are hillwinds

Very cool. I'll have to lead a party to the Yggdrasil tree some time for our alchemists. Nothing but herbs on the whole map. It's one of my favorite spots in the game.

btw, you'll need scells (for the blue herbs) and the other materials to make your potions. Give a priest in the guild a call to give you buffs and Gloria you before you start brewing to give your self the best chance at success.


There are mobs that drop good enough loot, but you'll have to go to higher level areas to get to them. Leveling a merchant is a pain. That's kind of how it's always been unless you've already played another character and saved a ton of loot to sell on your merchant.

If you need a character to make bank for you, go thief as they can use steal to grab a free loot drop off most any monster without even fighting them. (Go Rogue if you want it to auto steal as you fight)

Just spend the money, it's not supposed to be sustainable

Yeah merchant is a bit hard on a server with smaller population because of how money based it is.

You can make about 400k in profit on one fishing trip with any merchant character equipped with a cart.

Leveling one character on mukas will net you enough spears to bankroll a shitload of endeavors.

Even selling the drops from Neko Island (not the fig leaves, since they're an item of the day) will get you decent money, and you pretty much HAVE to go there to get 1st job level 50 in a hurry.

So 2 hours until the Alice Egg contest?

Do I have to wait for someone to approve of a character deletion?

It's like 5 minutes or so

fug

Nah you just got to wait until the red text turns blue. Just check it out later and then input your email and you can delete it.

pres the del button again, then input email*

(double checked)
Heh

When its blue, just hit delete again and it'll ask for a email. then do that and its gone.

you only have to wait until its blue.

Battle for Your Waifu
It's starting now, so get on if you want a waifu and shekels

...

Fun times. That Double KO was awesome.

I hope the winners enjoy their prizes.

Pretty sure a party can go in with you.

Just let us know in #ally chat if you need help.

...

How do I get to mukas?

2 south of morroc

Gonna get some sleep. If the thread dies while I'm asleep, I'll make a new one when I wake up.

Biolabs crusade when?

NEW THREAD

Sounds fun. I'm down.
