Hi all, I have a few questions about the classic server before I start a char there, maybe you can help.

1) What does premium get you on the classic server? I know its bonus exp etc on renewals and the buff npc, but what does it get you on classic.

2) Is instacast reachable? I don't remember if it was or not its been a while.

3) What do you reccomend for a first character? I assume i'd want something that can make money since it'd be my first character on the server.

4) How hard is it to start off as a new player to the classic server, how are the item prices and such.

5) How many chars per account can you have?

6) How is the party system is the exp split still pretty brutal in classic?

7) Any general tips be nice, I haven't played classic ro in a very long time, I do remember it being grindy so thats normal

Thanks all.

1) increased exp and drop rates, job change without magic stone, extra char slots

2) yes, at 150 dex

3) Wizard is pretty good for that

4) It's easy once you get a card drop or are willing to use kafra points (buy wpe on renewal and then buy rentals on classic for a super fast start)

5) 3 without VIP and 9 with VIP.

6) yes, exp is split a little over the number of party members, I believe its 55% for a 2 man party.

7) It's less grindy than original classic, just make sure you find someone to play alongside.

[Siveria]

Ahh so Vip does have a purpose in classic then thats good. Also Wizard for money maker, might I ask why? got any useful builds? What do you mean by rentals? are they strong weapons with timers or something? I'll probally be by myself at first.

wizard can level practically without any gear or potions, so you can sell your drops fairly fast.

The rentals are mainly armors so you can get started without an immune or a shield for example. They last 2 weeks from the kafra shop

[Siveria]

Hmm yeah since the matk formula is more int based than anything in classic ro if I remember right. Guess I should look up some builds for it. Wonder how many of my names are open.

[Xellie]

It's int and equip based, no other stat affects it.

Thanks for the info, I assume I should also make a merchant on a second acct for overcharge? how painful will that be to level? Also know any good websites with builds for classic? I don't know much about magicians and I wanna make sure I don't mess it up since it costs kafra points for a reset.

7) Play Renewal instead.

[Xellie]

Well wizards generally go 99 int 99 dex =p

look around on irowiki's classic wiki, learn how the stats are different first

Seems easy enough, I just to decide what spread I wanna use.

Welcome to Classic.

[azertygf]

for me best first char is more Hunter/Bard/Dancer don't forget to level up one slave for buff you at the same time

[Siveria]

Yeah hunter/archer is pretty solid for a char, they can 1 on 1 pretty much anything fairly easly. Kinda wish classic had more population though, where does everyone hide? Even prontera is pretty much empty.

Some people hang in Al De Baran.

Definitely go classic. It's a lot tighter-knit of a server and has a good community. I'd recommend making a knight because they're the easiest to find parties with at large dungeons which will lead to you great exp and good drops; plus they're pretty fun to play once you get to Lord Knight.

I'd also find someone to play with you or find a good active guild to join because without company RO is pretty dull.

[MagnaCrux]

If it's tighter-knit, that's probably because it's four times as small as Renewal and on the brink of extinction. End-of-world-scenarios makes people band together, it's true. I'm here to offer a life-line though, to save you from a terrible decision. So again:

7) Play Renewal instead.

I would actually suggest not making a wizard unless you have someone you can consistently play with. Wizards are fantastic at leveling without any gear or potions but aren't very good at solo leveling. I would actually suggest a hunter/bard or something like that for a first character.

[Bowser11]

classic is easy to lvl on, but id suggest not making a wiz for a first character. Make a sniper/LK/sinx with a merchant/bs/alche to vend your drops/oc your etc. Id normally go with the melee coz its fun with LK/Sinx as they can kill pretty much anything. The server needs to pick up some population and PVM needs to grow. Hope you have fun here.

[Xellie]

Yeah any archer is a solid choice too! If you're able to get some stuff with starting out (message me your ign) - things are a lot easier If you get some zeny for some basic gear or are willing to use rentals, a knight is a really good way to go.

As long as you're willing to take an addition to your warn level for that defiance.

The Classic vs. Renewal drama is quite annoying. The post was deleted for a reason, which means that reposting it probably isn't a good idea.

Am I at terror-level orange yet? I like orange, it brings out my eyes.

[Ralis]

No, but keep it up and you will be.

Yeah I was looking at the Knight/LK skills they seem pretty solid. I'd probally go the hybrid build, 50-70 agi/vit, decent dex, some int, rest str pretty much.

[azertygf]

don't put int in knight :$

[Xellie]

Nooo, don't get int or that much agi.

something like 92 str, 90 vit and 47 dex makes a really solid build for levelling. You hit a decent str bonus and level fast with minimal gear using bowling bash.
