Change the title: I don't want to flood the forum with scattered inquiries. I'm going to input my inquiries/asking for opinions at the end of the thread.

 

P.S. I'm also using google/forum search for searching.

I'm not sure what you could do with 500 points but maybe you should from the others what they can suggest to you! :D

For your potion situation, I think you should either farm some aloes in comodo field 01 from grove monsters when you are strong enough to do so! They are great as a healing alternative! If you are still sprouting to become a strong player, may I suggest buying Fresh Fish in alberta as they are cheaper than white pots and less weight to handle! See this link: http://db.irowiki.or...-info/alb_chef/

 

Here's an iRO wiki link on where you can get some ideas on what healing items to use! http://irowiki.org/wiki/Healing_Items

Here's the database link to show the list of maps, items or  monsters that you might need information on later! http://db.irowiki.org/db/

Here's also a link for viewing and purchasing on iRO's buy/sell market: http://ragial.com/

A skill simulator: http://irowiki.org/~himeyasha/skill4/

A stat-calculator: http://calc.irowiki.org/

 

and the latest on-going work stat-calculator for calculating stats over level 150-175! http://calc.irowiki.org/newcalc/

 

So... Welcome to the game and I hope you have fun! *Blows flying manly kisses to KimaT.... *winks ~~~~~~<3

 

(P.S. I'm sorry on posting a whole wall of text! ;____;)

First things first, read this - http://forums.warppo...tutorial-guide/

You get a lot of freebies at the end of it. Two of them are for free kafra storage access and teleport respectively. You can sell the Pet Incubator you get in the taming tutorial for 1500 zeny to npc. For more, you will have to pick up and sell the loot from monsters to npc. I suggest you first make a merchant alt with Max Overcharge and Discount. This way you can sell the monster loots for a bit of extra zeny as well as buy potions for less than what other characters buy them at. Neuralizer sells for a minimum of 40 Million zeny. 100 Kafra Points = 10 Million zeny is the default exchange rate (I assume but some do charge more, it is up to you). Right now we have an Enriched Hammer event so people will be buying up a lot of Enriched Ores from Cash Shop. But I cannot comment on how quick the vends will be bought. The merchant alt can be used to vend items you pick up. If you do wish to vend, head to http://ragial.com/ and check for the prices of the items you have and then vend accordingly. Always make sure to add a ","(comma) in-between numbers if the vend is higher than 1000 zeny. We have had people miss zeroes on their vends in the past so a comma goes a long way. If you do decide to vend, do it at Prontera, Payon Town or Eden Floor 2 where the ragial bot checks and updates vends on the website.

Also make sure you do the Bounty Board quests as they are repeatable and reward zeny and exp - http://irowiki.org/w...ty_Board_Quests

They are available in most towns. Check the link for more details.

Thanks for the both of you. If i'm going to increase to 1100 kafra points, what can I sell? still level 29 and I want to buy some cheap leveling weapon - i'm thinking about taking VVS wind (any) dagger (thief here) so i can spam kill in izlude dungeon(forgot the specific name). BTW already got 500k gold, enough for potions I guess, lucky for 3 treasure boxes + selling strawberries. Also I'm really planning to main a Geneticist(don't stare at me, I know this job is freaking expensive to gear).

 

Edit: already finished the beginners guide in izlude, and already used all of the novice potions LoL

Silvervine price has been stable for quite some time. You can sell them pretty quickly if you park your merchant at the right spot. The Enriched Elu and Ori boxes are also in huge demand right now because of Enriched Hammer. You can also sell KP items directly for zennies. I think the current rate is 10m per 100kp, but it could be more than 10m because of Enriched Hammer.

you should really just get VIP. the 30 day deal costs 1500 WPE and gives you 30 days VIP + 1500 KP.

additionally you don't need any gear until you reach third class; just do the eden equipment quests. you get some pretty powerful weapons that the npcs can enchant for you.

You, sir was sent from the heavens to become my guardian angel LoL. Seriously, I don't know if im plain stupid or something that I didn't notice that Eden quests give weapons. Welp, I'll just scrap my plan purchasing KPoints. That solves everything,

 

To all, thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it, really :p_idea:

Sure I'll take note on that. But IF im going to purchase WP, then maybe i'll try sir my-guardian-angel batman's suggestion to purchase VIP 30 days.

 

BTW another question, is there any reset skills / stats here in iRO? is it free? I only know neuralizer to reset skills, but not stats. Thanks!

Stats can be reset by Sam Status in Payon (180, 115) with a number of magical stones that change depending on your base level. Right click a magical stone to see how many you need. Also do not buy the reset stones in the kafra shop they are a massive rip off (just get 1 from exchanging 8 eden merit badges which are obtained from doing TIs at the Merry Badger in Eden)

Also, there's another NPC that resets your skills for free but it is limited.

Please check this link out to understand further: http://irowiki.org/w..._Skill_Resetter

 

Also, there's an NPC name called Mesmerist but she only returns once or twice (need someone to citate if it's twice a year because all I know is that Mesmerist only returns on christmas time) a year. Once she is back, you can only use her service once!

There's two mesmerists. One comes once a year at Christmas. The other comes when there's a major change, like a skill rebalancing patch or for example, when we got the 175 level increase.

Thanks guys. Another question. Since my thief is already 58/50 and taking the path of elusive Rogue, is there any NPC that can change-job my character instantly without taking quests? I'm asking this because there's an NPC in izlude that can change job me without taking the route to pyramids(thief's guild). Thanks :)

Have some patience and take the quest path that everyone takes to success.

In order to be something or someone, you have to work your butts off in order to get there. No shortcuts. No easy-way out. No direct transformation! D:

Take the quest. Read the story. Read everything. Embrace what the creators had made to the game. And enjoy what other things has yet to come! Live a little, live that life!

LoL sir don't be so serious man. I'm just asking because of frustration going in morroc just to change job my thief, where there's a familiar guarding in the portal going to thief's guild. which so damn frustrating. Then after learning about the beginner's quests in izlude, I immediately delete my level 12 thief(pure grinding, without any potions) and create another one for a fresh start and get away from a Familiar nightmare(pun intended) lol. Thanks for the answer :)

I'll try my best here to answer your question for the Gen-Mech curiosity of yours. 

Also, before I start here are some links that can help you if you choose the genetic path! If you are still stuck, just post a question  in the merchant class section and everyone will pinch in to help you! :D

 

http://forums.warppo...rk-in-progress/

http://forums.warppo...pon-discussion/

http://irowiki.org/wiki/Genetic

 

Genetics Pros

- Has four builds: MVP, Brewing, WoE and Cart-Cannon build)

- Best MVP killer in all of the available class.

- Can cook on their own foods, brew their own pot (That is if your Gene is a brewer build.)

- Can make their own acid bombs and other special materials that are  required for either leveling, buffs, item creation and MVP-ing

- They have Homunculus that can support them against PVM monsters, players in WoE/PvP and MVP.

- Good AoE damage (Cart Cannon)

- (I think I am missing other points here, if I did the other guys here can fill it out. :D)

 

Cons:

- Can be very expensive to gear (You can still gear your gene properly and have a satisfactory outcome but if you are striving to be the best, then you will need to invest heavily.)

- If the homunculus you chose is an amistr and transforming it into a Sera, then you might be waiting for a longer time since you will be striving for it's loyalty skill. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter, unless you have an OCD of getting the loyalty skill later.

- (There might be more but those are what I can think of at the moment. The others can help fill in the void here.

 

Mechs Pros:

- Has two build orientation: Pure Axe Mechanic and Mado-Gear build (both can do MVP with them)

- Can MVP (with HSCR build and possible with arm-cannon if you have patience with it.)

- Very Useful and Destructive in Woe and/or in PVP situations. (Reason: the mech's mado suit skills are mostly party buffs and class debuffer orientated. They are destructive because of their skill called Suicidal Destruction. (It self-destructs their suit causing them to have no suit afterwards, and thus killing all players around a 9x9 cell radius. Neat huh?)

- Has a giant Pneuma called Neutral Barrier that can protect players from range attacks. However it's a con as well because players under the Neutral Barrier skill can't launch range attacks as well.

-Good DPS damage.

- It is a very fun class to play.

 

Cons:

-Other skills like Suicidal Destruction, PileBunker, Neutral Barrier, requires items in order to work. ie. Self-Destruct button, Pile Bunker, Barrier Builder

- Can be costly to play with. (Reason: With Arm Cannon skill, you are not only need a cannonball to fire it, but you also need fuel to make an attack. Most of the Mado-Gear skills requires fuel.)

- Not ArchBishops friendly when we are on a party (Due to Coluseo Heal bug. When a Mado-Mech is invited to a party it bugs the heal range of Coluseo Heal bug. The only solution at the moment, is to uninvite and re-invite the Mado-Mech and to make sure that he is the last person on a party.)

- Expensive and heavy reliance to cast aoe spells. (see the following below:)

   - Cannot be directly healed by ArchBishops nor be applied AGI when manually clicking/ (But Canto candidus works because it's a party buff)

   - Only way to heal themselves is by having a WitchPumpkin Hat + alarm mask combo, yggdrassil seeds/berry, ranked white slims or an AB's sanctuary skill.

   - Also, they can heal themselves more using the Repair skill but it's a con since it requires 1-5 skill points to get good heals from it and it also requires fuel.

-Mado suit is loss when you die. (You have to keep going back to Prontera or Eden to get Mado-Suit back)

 

There are more, pros and cons for Mech in here: http://forums.warppo...-mado-mechanic/

 

 

For your other question, it is up to you on what you fancy more really. The best advice I can give to you there is to play them all and get a feel to them. :)

 

By the time you are reading this, I would apologise to you since I left you a whole block of text for you to read and also for any other sentences that doesn't make any sense. ;___;

I recommend Ranger for your third character. You can deal an astronomical amount of damage with basic equips (Elven Bow + Elven Arrows, White Wing Suit). You can get a full White Wing Suit for 15-16m. You can use this character for generating income to gear your other characters.

 

EDIT: Meant that you can get a full set for 15-16m.

You can have up to three Ragnarok Online accounts in your WarpPortal account, so you don't need to be restricted by the three-character limit. As I said, Ranger is really good at generating income that you can use for your other characters. You don't have to like playing a Ranger to use it so you can have a better experience and more enjoyment with your other characters.

 

EDIT: Guillotine Cross is another option.
