I've never played RO before and, tbh, it's a lot more confusing than other games I've played (hotkeys are all over the place; why alt + E for inv if pressing i is good enough for most games). The translations are absolutely horrendous so I can't really understand what I'm supposed to be doing. So I decided to make a thread to ask questions.

 

My first question is: Do stat points reset at job adv or do I have to start allocating stats properly in the novice job?

Re: shortcuts, see esc-> shortcut configuration.

Many people use the whole alphanumeric part of their keyboard as hotkeys for skills and items (switching gear is a big deal in end-game). 

 

Stat points can be reset for a fee (Magic Stones - obtainable in-game or from cash shop) at any time. When a character reaches level 99/50, they go through what is known as Rebirth, becoming a level 1/1 high novice. At this point, stats are also reset to 1. 

 

This does mean that you need to allocate stats at least mostly correctly. RO is a lot more forgiving than it used to be in this regard; a few points in the "wrong" stats don't destroy a character anymore.

 

What class are you going to be? If you share that, we can get you some stat advice. 

 

 

Skills, on the other hand, can be reset for free up until I think level 99 now (it used to be 40, then they realized that was absurdly low and increased it). Skills never reset on their own, though. 

 

 

Yeah - some of the NPC dialog is pretty engrishy, but most of the important dialog isn't that bad.

There's a lot of great information on the game on the wiki - irowiki.org

What are you supposed to do after the tutorial? Is there any story to follow? Quests? Just straight levelling to max level and then AFKing until the end of RO?

only if you care about it enough

anywhere else, you usually max your character to run instances (private dungeon with private mvp battle) with friends, or yeah, AFKing

just remember to make some friends while you're at it

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Quests

 

note that the minimum level at which you are allowed to begin some of these quests does not mean you can complete them at that level on your own.  Especially with the renewal changes, some monsters you encounter along these quests may be 20 or 30 levels higher than the minimum level requirement.

 

Some quests are worthwhile to complete, due to the rewards you get (items/EXP), and many dungeons/areas do have quests of varying length that need to be completed prior to obtaining access.

The more interesting quests/instances are only accessible in the upper levels, such as the gladt heim memorial instance and faceworm nest instance.

For lower levels you can consider the rachel sanctuary dungeon access quest and brasilis murder mystery for example(I found them pretty cool). There are many quests out there but most people hardly do them sadly...

No. 99 of any stat pre trans is a waste of a lot of stat points that will slow down your leveling speed, flee does not work the same way post renewal as pre renewal did. Max 90 agi for pre transcendent characters, Dump the rest into other stats.

You should put your stat points on  AGI, STR and DEX.
