Greetings, humans  

 

 

I've recently took interest in start playing ragnarok ( after avoiding it a lot of times because other games would push me away   [ i've trying to to play ragnarok since.. 2010 so yeah.. ] )

 

So.. i have some questions!

 

Which class is  "beginner friendly"? I usually like to play ranged classes and got quite interested in gunslinger and ninja [ despite ninja not being a "ranged class" i think.. ] but i've heard that they're quite hard to gear up..

 

I've also heard that i need to create a merchant in order to make tons of zeny otherwise it will be hard to gear up, is that true?

 

There is no "main quest" right [or quests that tell you a little bit of history]?

 

What are the diference between the "classic" and "renewal" servers [ too lazy to search xD ]?

What is this "mvp" stuff ppl keep talking about [ again, too lazy ^^' ]?

 

there are pets in ragnarok right? how do i get one?

 

thx in advance

try novice > archer > hunter > rebirth to high novice > high archer > sniper > ranger

this is the ranged (bow-arrow) class of the game, and also very beginner friendly;

rangers excel in player-vs-monster(PvM) situations (leveling and general item hunting);

always wanted by leveling parties due to high and wide area-of-effect(AoE) damage with ranger's arrow storm(AS);

the white wing set are 4 items that boost arrow storm damage a lot when worn together, and are fairly easy to acquire;

check the archer subforums for general info on stats/skills/gears/leveling guides;

gunslinger and ninja are in the extended classes group; usually played for fun or utility (soul linkers);

they are somewhat limited in things like attainable levels, job advancements, and wearable general gears, but they are quite unique in terms of their playstyles and equipment;

 

the merchant class have the unique vending skill where you can basically leave the game running until the items (usually hunted on another character) you assigned are sold out (bought by other players)

so in a way, they are the primary way to get the zeny flowing in;

should make a separate account for a merchant so you can play your main independently;

the merchant splits into two classes - each played either as a main/sub-main character for end game use (WoE/MvP) - or built and geared in a specific way for manufacture of items via skills unique to these classes;

this is a form of investment, since you need ingredients/materials for creation, that are usually bought in bulk from other players (as opposed to making zeny by hunting items from monsters to sell) so it can be hard if the creation success rates (dependent on stats, gears, and support buffs) are substandard;

the alchemist branch specialize in potion/consumable creation - many of which are in high demand as they are constantly consumed, but the high number of producers make up for this demand anyways, also large guilds have their own well-geared "potters" for their (usually) exclusive use;

the blacksmith branch, which forge specific weapons, are rather obsolete since there are many other better weapons to use in general;

so the main purpose of alt merchants is for vending; having a specialized one for item creation is optional as you can just get earnings for monster drops hunted by your main character; you can however try to make a potter once you have the capital to support it steadily;

 

ragnarok has a ton of quests - most can be done independently, but there are a quite a lot that are bundled into arc quests and have to be done in some order;

the arc quests in particular have most of the game's story content;

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Quests

 

renewal server (chaos) - renewal update mechanics and GUI, 3rd-class jobs; periodically gets game updates from kRO

classic server (loki) - server that maintains game mechanics before the renewal update (no 3rd jobs); generally played by veteran RO players for the nostalgia; gradually updates (until it hits the point where renewal would begin)

MvP - most valuable player; often used to refer to "boss monsters"; often competed over (in natural spawns) or fought in "instances" for their valuable drops (gears/cards);

note that there are boss-tagged/mini-boss monsters that have immunities similar to the free-for-all "real/MvP" boss monsters, but those mini-bosses are NOT open for kill-stealing;

http://irowiki.org/wiki/MVP

 

you either tame a monster (list of pets on link) with its specific taming item for a chance to get it's egg, or buy the egg directly from a vending player;

THIS PHOTO WILL VISIT YOU IN DREAM-land

and it will turn into nightmare.

 

 

I've also heard that i need to create a merchant in order to make tons of zeny otherwise it will be hard to gear up, is that true?

I have merchant but its only level 10 I used this in Vending only.

well because I have a back-up high level 157 to loot stuff (a major class not merchant & expanded class ) & I also purchase promo stuff like:

VIP(31days)+ free 1,500WP (instant 200m zeny if you familiar in certain stuff Kafra shop) 

 

Item Price Guide   http://ragial.com/

if you ever try to sell stuff in kafra shop

 

There is no "main quest" right [or quests that tell you a little bit of history]?

yup there's a lot but you need to use Warportal forum, Google and YouTube as guide to FIND&FINISH certain quest & job change.

 

What are the diference between the "classic" and "renewal" servers [ too lazy to search xD ]?

Its the market & population

-if you need to buy stuff quickly there's a 90% a player vending it in renewal.

compare in classic you need to check in ragial if some is online and selling by chance.

 

thx in advance

There are lots story based quests in this game. The quests in this game are kind of like puzzle pieces, in that you have to kind of do the most of them seperately to piece the lore together. I am gonna see if I can order them in the manner that flows the best in my opinion. If I ever do a "lore run" for video content, I'll probably do these quests in these order. You should at least be level 140 if you want to do every one of these quests. You can be low level and still do some of these quests, but not all.

 

Rune-Midgarts + Nifflheim

• Founding of Nation's Myth ~ Lost Child ~ Rachel Sanctuary ~ Veins Siblings ~ Thor Volcano Base ~ Peace for Arunafeltz ~ Nameless Island Entrance ~ Continental Guard ~ Successor to the Throne ~ Rebuilding the Destroyed Morroc: must play for lore, this quest saga goes over Arunafeltz and Rune-Midgarts' pretense neutrality and underlying war with each other. I would consider this arc a "main quest".
• Eye of Hellion ~ Domestic Dispute ~ Umbala Language ~ Piano Keys ~ Doomed Sword and Comodo Cheese ~ Sign: Geffenia Origin stories, apparently the Doomed Sword making part is broken but the quest still talks about how they are made.
• Her Heart : this short cutepet tame item quest is about the background story of bongun and munak
• Message Delivery ~ Hugel Memory : shows how the living interacts with the dead
• Ragnarok Tactics Event - talks about various regions of the world away from Rune Midgarts, relationship between humans and orcs, and mercenaries.
• Old Glast Heim Instance - origins of the Glast Heim monsters

Schwartzvald and Arunafeltz

• Juperos Ruins History ~ Mechanic : Juperos background
• Factory Quest ~ Einbroch Murder ~ Biolabs Entrance ~ Cursed Spirit ~ Kiel Hyre ~ President  ~ Rebellion: Background for the upcoming Rebellion class and the relationship between RKB corporation and schwartsvald republic politics.
• How the Airship Works ~ Airship Ticket ~ Heart Fragments ~ Criminal Activities ~ Airship Instance ~ Maestro: ongoing quest chain that revolves around origin story of Heart of Ymir, Ymir the Giant himself, the Reindeer folks, and the airships
• Friendship ~ Bruspetti ~ Medicine ~ Biological Weapons : involves RKB Corps and its employees
• Amatsu Blue Harvest ~ Rekenber Job ~ Lost Spirits ~ Rekenber's Weapon ~ The Lion's Roar ~ Tomb of the Dark Lord: A pretty interesting story of two brothers that leads to Origin story of the Dark Lord MVP, but it's a still ongoing quest and they haven't finished putting out all of the quests yet.
• Archbishop ~ Odin Shrine Excavation ~ Ice Necklace ~ Eye of the Beholder : Rachel Sanctuary backstory

New World

• Onwards to the New World ~ Cat Hand New World Access ~ New Surroundings ~ Tripatriate Union's Feud ~ Attitude to the New World ~ Pursuing Rayan Moore ~ Report from the New World ~ Ring of the Wise King ~ Two Tribes ~ Guardian of Yggdrasil ~ Niddhoggur's Nest ~ Sapha's Visit ~ Doha's Secret Orders: The first quest doesn't finish, so you have to pretend you finished it and do Cat hand New World Access to move on. This quest chain is politics involving Runemidgarts, Schwartzvald, Arunafeltz, Saphas, and Laphines.
• Crow of Destiny ~ Hazy Forest ~ Helping Lope and Euridi ~ Knights of the Neighborhood ~ Find the Research Tools ~ Eclaige Entrance ~ Encounter in a Strange Land ~ Mysterious Robbery ~ Oliver Wolf Hood: story of Oliver's origin and a bit of fairies of the new world

Quests that involve the original comic book series cast

• Thanatos Tower
• Wandering Guardians (AKA Hazy Forest)
• Old Glast Heim Instance
• Hero's Trail
• Continental Guard (AKA Resurrection of Satan Morroc)

nice compilation.  Just wanted to add some notes:

 

Doomed Sword Quest is broken if you want to create executioner, as the npc you need to speak to prior to talking to the weaponsmith is missing in izlude.  You will need GM assistance for that bit.

 

The Lost Spirits/Lion's Roar questline is a fan-made one that was originally supposed to explain the origins of Glast Heim, amongst other things.  Then kRO came out with OGH and that sort of blew it up.  It's still being worked on though, and I'm looking forward to the next installments

 

One of these days I will need to fully explore the eclage quests.  I've only completed the oliver wolf quest and started some others.

[HMP0824]

if you want range class & beginner friendly try ranger.
- Cheap Equips
- Easy to use 
- Recommended on all parties
- etc.

 

(recommended) buy VIP [30days w/ Free 1500kp], only 15$ for 30days of pleasure.
- this will boost up your character faster.
- buy and sell KP items to buy equips.

ask people in the forums for tip & tricks
- this will help you to avoid wasting time & zeny loss.


buy what you need not what you want..
- buy equips that boost your character to go further.
- main equips now, costume later.
