Hi,

 

is it safe to assume for purely pvm /mvp/ aoe killing leveling the best build is IB+BB?

 

is sword better than spear for IB/BB? when it comes to pve/pvm/mvp 

 

I have never really played a swordsman before . The game has changed so much since the last time I played RO

 

 

I am lost on this whole physical elemental meta that has come recently , I assumed we chose weapons based on the monster type

What are some things to aim for? I have access to about 1 billion zeny from the sale of an old item.

 

And a lot of gear when 150 was the maximum level few years ago .

 

thanks

1. On a low budget, IB/BB is still the recommended leveling method. DB is the strongest for AOE leveling/PVM when you have access to higher budgets (or play in a party with minstrel).

2. Spears as a weapon class have higher range and 100% damage all for monster size while on a mount. However, most spears have low base atk and slot count, so many default to using swords for the easily accessible high base atk/slot count (Mainly red twin edge of naght sieger).

Two handed swords are also a great option if you do not need the shield defense, as a start you can just use the thanatos great sword for its HP/SP leech effects and high base atk.

3. What’s your level now? I can give some gear recommendations base on your 1B budget but i need to know your character level.

I haven't yet made my swordsman yet. So i am just starting . I used to play mainly a Priest/AB.

my gear was decent few years ago, so i have some generic gear like hbp, niddhogger,valk shields,racial armors.

 

i saw some knight /swordsman related anime so i was inspired to play RO again. I like the idea of killing with swords

Go for Goblin slayer huhuhu.

Anyway back on topic: Just go try it out. Knight class is still the most fun character i have played on RO, so i think you’ll love it too. Swords are actually still the default use so no problem there. Bowling bash your way to third class and then swap to ignition break when you get it. Simple as that. you can also try to look for 2 toy rings and just bowling bash forever too

If you have issues with bowling bash and want the easy way out, you can try looking up for simpleROhook. It helps you see gridlines
