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."

I kind of agree with the sentiment, I enjoy how heRO has some very good quality of life features like rewarding you for doing your job quests, the daily hand ins to make the grind less painful, the fun little events, you can upgrade stuff to the safe limit without needing to keep talking to the NPC and good headgear options. That being said, the heRO veterans are spergs and prices on the server are inflated as shit.

Reborn so far has been not terrible, I kind of dislike how the Eden/Monster Hunter Guild NPC will give you stuff out of your range though. As a level a fresh 13 swordsman killing 50 Hode's is beyond my ability. But thankfully resetting your stats and skills isn't as punishing as it is in heRO and the Reborn staff want to balance things like making Anubis the best EXP/HP ratio monster in the game and making it so farming sleepers doesn't make the economy so inflated. We'll see how Reborn turns out.

Yeah, everybody is still in it but mostly inactive. Right now we've got Rolonith, Soab and myself (Graendol) online.

Good to hear you guys are in. I'll be joining you soon. Just gotta deal with some stuff before I can play.

Perhaps we can look into that new pyramid dungeon? or Yggdrasil Root thing.

You guys still use some of my quotes. Nice

How's the new server?

Pyramid dungeon is basically a copy of the normal pyramid basement, with the same monsters but "spooky" copies of them. Harder, gives more EXP.

Uncertain on what the ygg root thing is, but I think it's probably in the same vein.

See

Again, feel free to check it out if you'd like. You might see some of us on there, but in my opinion the other server is kind of meh.

ALSO for the time being (until they change it), Kasas are currently monster of the moment and give 500k experience per, because the GMs are fucking retarded. If we get enough people on, we should get groups to go to Thor's for ezmode levelling. I'll be on later tonight and if we can get even just a HP and an endow slave, I'm down to cart term people all the way to 99.

Currently killing thousands of Orc Zombies on Reborn for an Emp so anons can have a safe space to call each other niggers. Can't think of a name for it though, so if anyone has any suggestions.

How many of us are playing here anyways? I've met an handful but no idea if they were one-offs.

MFW

I wanted to get stronk enough to go emp hunting on Reborn as well. Just got busy yesterday.

I have a level 1 novice on reborn. Don't know if I want to make a ninja again or a thief for lazy grinding

My first character on reborn was a thief. I figured easy loot getting would be a good start to making money.

bumping with old guild screenshots

Nice work taking down Midnight Jack in DB room guys.

Got a nice book out of it too. Any sages of ours that might have use for it?

We didn't have too big of a showing up today, but it was good to play with you guys again.

Sonic you still reading these threads?

t. sausageman

why

I've been playing both. Reborn has some issues, and we're already established on HeRO. If more people want to play reborn we can do that. but so far a small handful have shown up for the thread. So ether way really. Just let us know if you want to play on Reborn and I'd be up for it.

well, to be honest i just downloaded it cause some friends wanted to play a pserver, so they came asking me if I knew one. And I just happened to see the other thread, so I said let's check it out.
Maybe we'll meet over there, I'll probably use the same names

What a coincidence. My character on reborn is a swordie and I'm using byalan to get those last few job levels.
If anyone would be able to get my lvl 87 high priest on HeRO out of the hell that is 80-89 I might rejoin.

Fuck yes. See you guys when I get back home.

Which of the two servers is better for someone who wasn't part of the HeRO guild before?

Well, if you want to play with other annons, HeRO server would be your bet as we've got a guild set up there already (and you're welcome in). But this Rebirth RO thing is kind of neat in that its only a few days old. so if you want to struggle and shit that would be the place to go.

I'm currently on Rebirth trying to level up to the point where I can start Emperium hunting. that way we can have a guild on that server.

Hopefully I'll be set with that soon. But we'll see.

Again, if you want to join the guild on HeRO, just drop your character name in the thread and I'll get you in.

Lots of anons on HeRo means we can mor easily help you out and give a leg up. You will basically zoom right into the 80s.

Did you guys know about these quests?

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

1.5 million exp just for killing 20 minouros, 20 verits and 20 mummies per day sounds like exactly the kind of stuff that would help the lvl 80s hit the 90s.

The Gae Bolg poison curse quest, and the Bio Weapon quest chain both pay off a shitload of EXP. While they can only be done once per character, they should be saved for level 98, for the sake of efficiency. Item of the Day and the puppy quest should be your meat and potatoes for leveling past 50, and the former is an easy way to jump from job level 47 to 50 in a hurry.

I know that, I was just suggesting an alternative source of exp. Sadly it is just not good enough - 3.5% at transcendent lvl 85 is just not good of a repeatable.

Anyone here play NovaRO, the quests are actually fun and it's possible to be a PvM based guild

were you the fag that mentioned it in one of the threads a while back?
As far as renewal high pop goes, it's probably the best option. My main is an adoramus AB and it's a super fun, slightly off the wall class.

I can see it being fun. Though I'm still new if you want to be friended in the game so we can contact each other sometime.

Played a good ammount of Reborn last night.

Kind of getting use to the features on the server.

Probably gonna go emperium hunting again today. I did my creamy card and clip hunting yesterday.

I played a bit with Nishi last night on Reborn. Probly gonna play more with him again. So if anyone wants to join us, let me know here or contact me via the Steam group.steamcommunity.com/groups/8vHeRo

Someone else from the guild is farming for emperium on reborn, but maybe they wanted to start their own guild?

I don't see that many mages, especially not many wizards considering how good sages are in renewal. It's monstly rangers doing aoe damage.
Depending on what level you're at by now, gramps should always be priority right to 175, and your build should just focus on aoe skills like rolling cutter.
Once you hit the level cap, instances with small groups of enemies and low tier mvps (most classes can do dracula) are where single target damage can start to shine.

If some one gets to the emp before me and makes the guild that's fine. I don't mind not being leader. It's really more about who's motivated to be the guild master than anything else. I've got some experience now after working with you guys so I don't mind transferring over that experience into Reborn.

If some one makes the guild before me, please post it here and I'll be sure to join.

That was me. I'm not looking to start my own guild as much as I wasn't really eager having a guild leader who hardly played on Reborn and described his interest as idle curiosity. If he wants to play and lead the guild on Reborn, I'm fine with it, I had no issues with how he ran the one in heRO. Hell, if anyone asked me to be lead I'd be alright with it, I really don't care to lead one. I was simply taking name suggestions because infinitycircuit is not mine, and if most players went back to heRO naming the guild the same struck me a bit too much as sloppy seconds.

I hope Logan has better luck dropping an Emp than I do, RNG is bending me over a barrel. Over 7k kills, 4 orc zombie cards – still haven't gotten one.

Sweet Jesus.

I'm just struggling right now trying to get a last job level on my to-be soul linker. once I get things going as a proper soul linker I'll be much better off when it comes to hunting shit.

Okay, got an Emperium. Anyone wants to lead the guild? If not, still taking name suggestions.

Nice work. We had a hard time just getting InfinityCircuit last time. I guess it really comes down to "what do you want your guild icon to be?"

Whatever it is, if its the guild to represent 8/v/ then perhaps think of something that would fit.

As a heads up to new players on Ragnarok Reborn, it seems that Payon is the hub town where all the players gather

It only makes sense, considering:

That said, the best towns to use as a spawn are comodo or lighthalzen for good shop inventory or hugel for access to minigames and odin shrine.

So thanks to Lorn (Mal) we have our guild in Reborn.

So if You want in just post here and we'll get you in.

Thanks again Mal.

Does the Reborn server go up to transcendent?

Seems that it does. We had to ask the server but yeah seems that way.

You got me good there.

Me (Nishi), Logan, and Mal were playing on Reborn since we just got the guild set up there today

Where you folks hanging out?

About to login and I want in.

Char name is Aeia.

That explains it. Guess I'll go get Reborn up and running then.

Me and Logan were crusading against mukas and Mal was off doing something else. I'm already done for the night so I don't know if the others are online or not

Jeezy Creezy, Reborn is a pain in the rectum. So much so, that I may also uninstall HeRO.

Register

FUCK IT.

Why the fuck does it do this? Is there a workaround or do we just use 10minutemails?

My fucking sides

And then get stuck there for ages as everyone is on their 90+'s and stuff.

Buuuut…

I might go check out this Reborn place, so at least it doesn't feel like there's big pressure of always being outclassed by the veterans, and the market for items isn't completely shit. Not today though.

t. Lumilia

Its an interesting experience so far.

Never been on a server where a Pink Hat (the cheapest, ugliest hat) is a sort of fashion statement. Everyone has one of those things because at this point its better than nothing at all.

I could be wrong by now but I don't even think anyone has transcended yet.

Yeah, reborn really is a weird server.

Is eden equipment usually available even in pre-renewal? Are HeRO and reborn expeptions? In renewal, the eden equipment is outclassed by even unupgraded 3rd job equipment. I don't know how it would be balanced in pre-renewal, because no card slots or refines doesn't really matter when the base stats are so high unless you are high level tans and rich.

I had to look up why Reborn doesn't have Renewal Eden Stuff, they thought it'd be make the game more linear. But you're right though, the Eden Group stuff outclasses almost every non-endgame earned armor and most non-carded or forged elemental weapons. It'd probably too much of a pain in the balls to try and balance that.

Was that Taekwon you? I was the acolyte you asked if I had any clips and tossed buffs your way between bludgeoning Muka's.

Yeah that was me.

I think I have a spare clip from that outing. I'll let you have it if you don't already have one.

I finally made it out of the battle aco hell hole. Now I can finally sleep

pandoraonline.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=903&pid=292327#pid292327

Not sure if this means that the rates are already in effect or if they're gonna be.

Ether way, looks like soon the birthday event will be starting on HeRO server.

They are already in effect, if you @mobinfo anything you'll see that card drop rates and other 0.01% drop items are now at a whopping 0.04%. No, I don't need any clips, it was just nice unknowingly meeting you.

Well, another year, another day to crave playing RO once again, might roll a Bard or a SG for starters. Does either server have a torrent download?

If anyone is online in reborn i want to join.

Whats you're character name?

Not that I know of. Ether server feel free to join. As stated in>>10898290 It's got bonus rates for this month, so might be a good place to start.

When you're set let us know what your character name is and I'll get you into the guild in ether server. We're more established in HeRO server.

I'm probably gonna make a bunch of alts.

What does the guild need right now?

for HeRO server no particular class needed more than others.

As for Reborn, anything is ok as well, as we're all just kind of struggling to get started together.

Speaking of struggling, I need to do some Phen or BloodyButterfly hunting. I need those cards to make my soul linker worth while.

So what the fuck is this? It doesn't seem to be letting me create one.

...

it's some new content they havent finished implementing yet. I'm more curious about the "summoner" job

so guy from #main gave some pretty good advice the other day. He said to do quests instead of suffering and recommended that I do the Friendship and Lost Child quest to get my base level up to 60 and then to the Crow of Destiny quest because it rewards 2.7 million job exp. Unlike heRO, Reborn actually lets you do multiple level ups so that quest took me from 44 to 50 in one go. Though I did waste some job exp but I couldn't take grinding on mukas anymore

Turns out they were working on the form and forgot to mention it. Fantastic.

this is fine

What and where is that?

I'm doing the Crow of Destiny quest on my thief. The quest dialogue is pretty interesting. Not DEEPEST LORE like the kuck hyre quest but it's pretty good

Sorry for not showing up, wiz bro.
My internet just broke one night for no reason and I spent days trying to get it working.

I'm not really familair with this series, can someone explain why you don't just play Ragnarok Online 2?

RO2 changed a ton of stuff and is basically just a themepark with very set leveling locations.
This has a lot more room to dick around in and go depending on class,build, etc.

Logan, could you make another rank in the guild that can kick? Accidentally ginvited some random while in a group and I haven't seen you online to purge the heretic.

With that said, if anyone wants in the guild here, poke Lorn in-game (Reborn) or post here.

It is a hollow WoW clone, all the class mechanics were copy paste from either TBC or Wrath era class designs.

The game was so bad that it shut down after a month of release in Korea. Warp Portal keeps it's corpse around much like it did with Requiem. Don't expect it to ever get better.

Reborn is having a stroke right now
please come back

Alright, can anyone float me an invite to the guild? IGN is Pencilcase, I'm sitting in Prontera right now.

Can't believe I'm back to playing this again.

After all these years, is there even a single good MMO made in recent times? BDO is beautiful but all the issues. Only hope left is possibly Lost Ark.

Are MMOs finished?

Welcome aboard HeRO server.

If you want to hang out with some of us, let us know what server your playing and what your character name is and I'll get you into the guild.

What classes does the guild need?

No particular class at the moment for ether server. Just come on, make what you want and have fun. We'll do what we can to help.

If and when you do make a character that you'd like to have in the guild, post the name and the server here. I'll see what I can do.

We're a bit more active on Reborn at the moment, but I just added a new member to HeRO. so really up to you.

Ohhhhhhhh shit, getting Reborn right now. Finally got my job problems ironed out, so I can relax and play some more.

Good shit. Just let me know what character you want in the guild.

If anyone is online right now, my name is Hexr, and I am sitting in protera right now in shitty newbie gear.

I killed something like 10 of them

lol, angeling card on the server already? That's insane.

...

LOL

Welp, another shit MMO. Least I fucking tried.

...

This is a game you need a guide for.

As posted in the OP the guide is basically this whole website. ratemyserver.net/

Find what class you want, it'll tell you where to go and what to do.
If you where in the guild you should have asked for some help (assuming anyone was on to help you that is) or here.

Yes, this game lets you go pretty much anywhere you want, so some times you will walk into a higher level area without knowing. This is kind of part of the fun of the open world instead of the game being a theme park like most modern MMOs.

ratemyserver.net/quest_db.php?type=60000 Here is the link for all the classes job change guides. As referenced you may only pick those that are directly after novice. The others come after a first class change.

Ask us if you have any questions.

...

I like your smug, 8/10.
I did do training grounds, but if there was any clear indicator as to where to go or what to do, than sadly I didn't see it in between skipping through basic bitch GUI tips, a shitty personality test, and alt-tabbing only to return and find the NPC doesn't want to tell me anything.

Thanks m80, that helps a lot.

Typo's happen when you're roommate happens to listen to shitty music full blast 25/8.
As a consolation, he's speakers are trashing out and he'll be buying shitty beats soon so he can listen to cowboys from hell in fucking silence while I'm busy trying to unfuck my Novice.

What's everyone's thoughts on the economies so far? Reborn is pretty much the polar opposite of HeRO's economy at the moment, as there are a bunch of items that don't exist yet, while on HeRO you can find tons of Ulle's caps on sale for not a penny less than 4m. Some drops rates are higher on reborn (boss drops are actually lower), so it's not too hard to find your own gear.
I'm holding out for a dagger of counter, but there's so little zenny I'll probably trade a few cards for it.

Well, one's economy has existed for nearly 11 years and the others not even a month.

I wouldn't say there is even an established economy at the moment in Reborn. There where people buying strawberries for upward to 900k each in Payon at one point because no one could brew potions yet.

Reborn is basically a wild west of an economy at this point. It's hard to sell high end goods because there isn't an established price. So its kind of a gamble of "what can I get for this realistically" and "what amount does the typical player have on hand?" Barter for items may be the better choice at this point.

*900zenny each

Just caught my mistake.

I bit the bullet and created a character in Reborn. Where do you guys usually gather?

Payon, because prontera is useless on this server. I'm guessing you're Keishiro?

Das rite

Can I get an invite on Reborn?
The name's Brigid.

Bumping the thread with everyone's favorite meme monster.

Grinding to 99 on those must have been pretty painful. They're not aggressive, and they don't have assist ai, so they're hard to mob, and theyre spread throughout what's basically just a huge hallway.
Would you just run around one-shotting them instead of trying to mob them?

I like the server.

I can grind while doing something else.

OFFICIAL GRIND FODDER TIER LIST

God tier

Great tier

Good ol' tier

Ok tier

Meme tier

What the fuck are you doing tier

Firebolting Geos at KHA was comfy though.

Anyone on heRO have an extra pair of the Pantie+Undershirt combo? I'm willing to buy, but I have no idea how much it'd go for lol. Also I don't have that much money, just about 50k

Also, wolves started getting stale, where go for exp at lv 57, mummies, or byalan?

Rolonith here, I'll be in Lighthalzen if you want the combo.

Just a heads up for those on HeRO, may want to patch your games. New look for Prontera is in effect. (may be other things as well, but Pront has a fall look at the moment)

A-at least it's better money.

I'm interested in playing but I've only ever played runescape when it comes to mmorps, does this game have a lot of crafting in it?

No, 100% of the game is grinding monsters to get items to grind more monsters to get new items to grind more monsters.

There is some crafting aspects to the game, but its mostly concentrated in two classes. Alchemist/Creators and Blacksmith/Whitesmiths.

Alchemists and Creators can craft HP and mana restorative potions and certain items that they and other alchemist can use.

Blacksmiths and whitesmiths can craft weapons as well as repair them if they have the gear to do so on hand. The full list is here ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=creation_db&op=3

A creation heavy character is a bit difficult to level because its based on stat points that make them not the best of fighters (naturally at least), so If one where to want to make a creation character who'll have a good success rate, I would just recommend to level normally then pay for a stat reset when they're ready to go the creation route.

Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.

Oh, I should also note that HeRO server has mining and fishing as sort of side things to do. both can be very profitable (though they both have a sort of entrance fee) and have a ranking system. I thought you might like to know that.

Sorry to hear about your autism. :(

Why are champions so autistic?

Because playing hunter isn't enough damage for them, so they min-max the perfect amount of atk and max sp and stack buffs to oneshot everything. It probably helps that HeRO battlegrounds are full of oldfags with +7 fberets and bg weapons.
R.I.P. free bg xp 200X-2016

To be fair, BG still gives exp, just not crazy good exp like it use to.

I honestly wish they didn't change that. It made leveling non combative characters like smiths and brewers some what tolerable in the hardest 10 levels of the game.

I mean, at least you can get those OP BG items, but I'd much rather have the exp like it use to be.

Also, sorry for not being very active in the past few days. been occupied with some other stuff. I'll try to play a bit more in the upcoming days (HeRO server birthday event should start on the 15th!)

TOS or RO?

Well, given this is the RO thread, we're gonna probably be more in favor of RO.

Read the second part of if you'd like to get a nice little bit of thought from a random user (not me) on why RO beats out TOS in openness.

TOS feels less than half finished. Have fun fighting clones of the same 20 monsters over and over, using the same 40 or so items, for 300 levels, with strict level restriction instead of an exp curve so that you don't get to choose where you grind, all on a client/server more broken than the 15 year old game it's ripping off.
It's also more dead than RO pservers.

Didn't tree of savior bomb? Like really bad?

My name is not important. What is important is what I'm going to do. I just fucking hate this cave and the furry worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred and I always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill and it's time for me to die. My genocide crusade begins here.

wew lads
Just wait a couple years and you can play a "remaster" with less content yet probably less shitty engine/mechanics.
Too little, too late.
Target based combat needs to go.

Go forth and know that in your vengeance, you will be reborn!

Fucking jews of asia.

Got on Reborn and gave up on my Phen card hunt. Was low on B wings so I went to harvest some more from bloody butterflys. they fucking dropped a card in no more than 5 mins in.

I mean, its not as good as a phen, but at least I'm not intrupted with my casting. I'll keep an eye out for phens but I'm hunting Eggyra card now. I've got so many damn concentration potions and incubators.

Some people on reborn did that thing where you clone a gorillion mi gaos for millions of zenny and xp. Nothing has been done yet, but apparently Eclipse has seen the thread as of right now.

I was reading about some of that in the chat. Hopefully that player can get there shit sorted out before they destroy what little economy exists as of now.

HeRO's 11th birthday is upon us, and to celebrate, the birthday Jester is in Prontera! He'll announce a minigame every 10 minutes, and after you play enough times you'll get a birthday gear! Each mini-game has its own rewards as well! Additionally, Experience rates were increased to 8/8/4, and there'll be events held throughout all of October. Happy birthday, heRO!

Mini games eh? lets see how that works out. Be sure to patch the game before you go in.

First event I played

Tap the plasmas that show up. doing so will curse and slow you for a few seconds. try to get lots.

Rewards I got for 58 plasmas: Damp Card Album, Old Green Box, Jewelry Box, 2 gold

Only me and 3 others playing at the moment. Assuming the others are this easy, this can be quite the boon.

Second Event: Find Poring

Talk to the Jester and get a poring to find.

This one's pretty tough. they all look the same but have different names. There is also a poring named "Gold Poring" who if you kill drops a gold. I've noticed that the times when I found it its animation speed was different than the others (slower) So keep an eye out for that. Each time the round starts you get a gift box. At the end of the event I received a Jewelry Box. (I think I found 1)

Third Event: Chicken Race.

Run ether ahead on the track (large area) or run back into the maze to find hidden treasure (decent stuff). Then make your way past the traps to the first checkpoint area and kill some flowers for grains. then pick a chicken and take it to the south portal. Then keep it with you on the rest of the track. I got lost so I got 4th place

Fourth event: Survival: Some pretty nasty monsters come out. Kill them and try not to die too often. Prize was Poring card, but likely because the 3 of us only cleared 1 wave.

5th event: Crystal Taming: Basically like fabre tame event. beat stuff up, use the tame item on them. You'll get a set of tames for each crystal color. Be ready to misclick, they like to move and others can get in the way.

The final event is Casino. but I went to take a piss and missed it. It starts at the top of the hour so I'll post once I get that one under my belt.

So the Casino mini event is seemingly bugged. It's basically RNG. I can't say fully if its worth the time, but unless they fix it, just skip that one.

I think the best event to get easy prizes is the Plasma Tap. Super easy to do and kind of fun.

Skip Survival if you don't have a party going into it and Casino until people say its not bugged.

Find Poring is tricky but seemingly when you win the round you get life insurance (no exp loss for 30 mins if you activate it)

After you do like 8-9 of the events you'll get the choice of lots of old headgears or a new headgear set (upper for one, lower for the other) that give some nice efects such a 14% movement increase when wearing both as well as reduce casting time and increase melee speed.

Hope you guys get to play a few of them. I walked out of the whole thing with about 2 Old Card Albums, 3 Damp Card Albums, maybe like 20 gold, tons of gold rings (15k each) and a pile of giftboxes and jewelry boxes.
