1)Does Diabolus Robe's 6%heal bonus include Colossal heal or only the actual priest spell 'Heal'?

 

2)Where is the best place for a lvl 140 Genetic to go level at (besides TI)? It seems like they blessed us with elemental cannonballs, and then went and made every map have multiple element monsters so that we cant kill anything easily ><.

 

3)Is this games population on a decline right now or perhaps just alot of older players quit? I've been in an ET guild for 6 months now that does ET regularly (and still does), but our people online has slowly dropped to almost nothing in the last month. Im lucky to see 5 people online at once with only 1-2 being the usual number. Are other guilds experiencing this or is it just mine?

 

4)Aside from buying Kafra items and reselling them or mvping and hoping for an mvp card, what are the best ways to make zeny on a 150? Im currently maining an AB and never make any money because i cant pickup loots in TI's due to being busy healing. Right now my only source of income is the loot money my guild makes on ET runs (which usually isnt much. like 10-40m a week). I also mvp with my genetic sometimes, but all of the mvp drops seem to be worth nothing nowadays, with most items falling in the 50k-100k zeny bracket.

1) I believe heal bonus applies to any kind of healing skills.

 

3) It's still summer vacation, so people are probably going out enjoying the sunshine right now.

 

4) Do you have access to Mora? If so, do Mora daily quests and sell the items you get from Mora coins, they will sell quickly. Or you can also do Hazy with your friends and guildmates to get OCA from the pseudo-MVP, repeatable every 3 hours. If you have enough zeny (let say 150m+) you can also play with the market, buying things that will likely increase in price and sell them at higher price later. If you have HBP; Greed allows you to pick up loots around you without having to pick them up one by one.

 

I can't answer question 2 because I don't any gene, so sorry >.<

1) should be applying to all of your healing skills.

 

2)Scaraba Dungeon is a good choice. Guild dungeon is also good place(Alde Baran Guild Dungeon)

 

3) No comment.

 

4) You can make greed blacksmith, and i heard its great source of income. Making Mora Gear by doing Mora daily quest is also good source of income.

3.) My guild is doing fine, it's just people got exhausted from the entire x4 drop and EXP and probably taking a break or playing alts. And that is a common pattern that happens to different guilds where players drop off then come back alive again.

 

4.) I farm rare items like Diabolus Ring. Black Rosary, (or Rogue Treasure before the market crashed no thanks to TI) to sell. It takes time but when you get one it's well worth it. Other ways of making zenies would be to farm stuff people buy. I used to farm Beefheads, Elder Branch etc stuff and sell them. They aren't much but that was how I start out for someone that is under geared. I was able to make 10m sometimes off it a day, depending on how well the market is.

To help answer to your third question, there are many reasons for decreasing population.

 

ROPD isn't all that accurate sometimes. You have a lot of people vending, and I'm not sure if them bots are factored in. Either way a few things make it hard to tell.

 

Here's why (in order);

 

1) People get caught cheating and receive a temporary ban.

2) People get caught cheating again and their sentences get increased.

3) Some people get permanently banned for things too.

4) Other things of the above stated nature.

 

So that's not considered "losing" people... lol!

 

Other times (not necesarilly in order);

 

1) People get married and have kids (good parents dont have time for Games oftentimes, because of number 2).

2) Finish School and start their professional Careers. (You would be suprised as to how much time this can take away...)

3) Start new jobs (which require much focus at first).

4) Get a new Girlfriend or Boyfriend (Cloud Nine).

5) Buy their first Car (which often leads to outdoor activities and Number 3's and 4's).

6) Summer fun in the Sun (Don't forget your sunscreen!)

7) Short or Extended Breaks (for whatever reason).

8) And the list goes on and on till the end of time~

 

I have been playing Ragnarok Online for 11 years, give or take a few of my own number extended and short number 7's, and I always found a healthy ammount of people upon my return.

 

I don't play on Classic so I cannot comment on the state of the community but it seems like good hearty fun nonetheless.

 

The best way to make sure, is to play for a few weeks and see for yourself. I know for a fact that Friday nights are pretty lively, and weekends as well.

 

Weekdays have people running my "1 to 4" list continuously while the rest of us "1 to 8".

 

Personally I log in when I can, sporatically and always have fun lol.

 

Don't worry about numbers too much - that's my suggestion.

 

Good luck on your Adventures!
