Hi! I don't know how I'll start but I am not new in playing Ragnarok its just that I played too much on private servers.. and well, as it turns out, playing on those servers do have pros and cons but definitely not official. lol. Anyway, I am done with it, I still want to experience the same old school grueling grinding with official ones.. 

 

Questions that I have:

1. Is it still possible to start out here in iRO Renewal with nothing? I mean, gears, zeny, and friends? (Grinding loots, selling misc stuff still work?)

2. If it is not possible, do I have to invest on VIP and KPs for me to acquire decent equipment?

3. Do people still do Gramps? (I did a quick scan of the topics here before and someone stated that people tended to do AFK leveling and party grind is pretty much non-existent?)

4. What's the best char to start out here for newbies like me? Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

 

For now, those are my questions, I did a 360 from a bonafide private server player to an official one just because extreme modification of content irks me. lol.

 

I don't really mind the slow grinding and solo-leveling though, its the side effect of being alone in this pandemic situation. Too much time on my hands. lol.

 

Thanks in advance and cheers!

I can safely say that you can start with nothing from Novice until 3rd class at Low TI gramps but beyond that, I really doubt you can do anything without decent leveling gears  (except probably Arrow Storm-type ranger because WW Set and Elven Bow are very cheap yet they help you deal large damage). Either you start saving up from whatever loot you can get as you go level up or buy WP points or KP and sell those cash stuff for zeny or use them. If you're starting in Chaos, you can probably find a lot of casual/leveling guild that can help you with some gears, supplies, and even leveling parties. In lower population pRO-migration server Thor, most players left are pRO veteran players where around half the population only log-in during WoE and most guilds are WoE guilds. Most new players are helped by individual players. In my case, I am helping this one new player from Vietnam. Lucky for him, he started during the Booster event so he got some free equipment and supplies. Sadly, Booster event ended so there's no more of these free equipment.

 

2. If it is not possible, do I have to invest on VIP and KPs for me to acquire decent equipment?

Maybe he only way for you not to invest on cash items is if you try hunting MvPs or some valuable card monsters like those in Illusion Dungeons and they give you a card drop and sell them. You may also farm some good cards or loots from dungeons or Gramps TI. Recently, Gramps hunting quests had Mavka and Headless Mule where the cards can be sold in good amount of zeny. Some Gramps monsters like Bathory and Alarm can give you Witch Starsand and Oridecon respectively. If you don't wanna go to this route of grinding, you can buy some KP/Kachua/OCP Cash stuff that players need and sell them for zeny.

 

 

 

3. Do people still do Gramps? (I did a quick scan of the topics here before and someone stated that people tended to do AFK leveling and party grind is pretty much non-existent?)

I cannot speak for Chaos but Thor has almost non-existent gramps party anymore. I just leech the newbie I'm helping on gramps TI if I got the time. Usually, we run 2x just to complete the counts on both monsters then he goes back to solo grinding. We stay a little longer sometimes to leech some EXP. There are some kind-hearted players who would voluntarily ask and let you join his/her/their party but only if you find people inside TI and other people may let you leech if you ask them nicely. 

 

 

 

4. What's the best char to start out here for newbies like me? Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

I still believe Arrow Storm-type Ranger is one, if not the most viable class for starters. White Wing Set is very very cheap. .(I even give it for free I got tons of Mora coins) Elven Bow + Elven Arrow set is also cheap yet a strong weapon for new players even with low weapon upgrade (converters work wonder but not necessary!). Just slot it with 1 Archer Skeleton Card and it can help you run dungeons and even kill some MvPs. Autumn Headband is cheap as well, around 10m or less in my server.

 

 

 

For now, those are my questions, I did a 360 from a bonafide private server player to an official one just because extreme modification of content irks me. lol.

 

I don't really mind the slow grinding and solo-leveling though, its the side effect of being alone in this pandemic situation. Too much time on my hands. lol.

 

Thanks in advance and cheers!

I've started with nothing less than a year ago and all I can say - everything is possible. I invest only in VIP (it is really worth it) and don't have much time to play (1,5-2 hours daily). if you have much time and don't mind slow leveling, then i dont see any problem.

 

good luck^^

I started fresh too last year and here's how i begin: Create a blacksmith character and then once you learn greed skill and reach lv 70, greed + fly wing in Low TI (loots and rares depending on the mobs each week). From there, you should have earn millions of zeny as a fresh start to create another class of your choice.

 

Other than Greed low TI, check out this guide too created by Ucatolica:

Make friends and connections rather than plain levelling. Having friends could help you A LOT and would make it more enjoyable. Spend some time hanging out at guild spots and introduce yourself. It depends on the server but it is usually near kafras of the big cities. Ask for directions and tips and chances are they are bored and they will show you around. Give them some time to know you because they wouldn't just trust some stranger. If you garner their trust and you are lucky they'll toss around things they don't need which you could use or sell for zeny. Better if they invite you to the guild and be part of their activities. If you manage to be one of the woe active guilds you will learn A LOT since being WoE active requires a lot of planning, farming, levelling, meta gaming, market control and connections.

 

I started wihout knowing anyone. Decided to start or join parties I met along the way. This in a way introduced me to other people. Meet the same characters again and again and you develop a friendship. It happened to me and I got dragged into a guild then that guild happened to be woe active and the rest is history.

1. Is it still possible to start out here in iRO Renewal with nothing? I mean, gears, zeny, and friends? (Grinding loots, selling misc stuff still work?)
   ( ofcause you can start with nothing in iro . in academy they provide starter gear .. after that register as eden members to get some agi bless scroll and yellow butterfly which can tele to certain town . ). 
 
2. If it is not possible, do I have to invest on VIP and KPs for me to acquire decent equipment?
( you can try 10 days vip first to test out ) for me i would say is worth for 10 days .. you can choose which exp to turn in everytime you done a bounty and gramps . vip overlook water dungeon for free water base card once you done all the quest . )
 
3. Do people still do Gramps? (I did a quick scan of the topics here before and someone stated that people tended to do AFK leveling and party grind is pretty much non-existent?)
(nowdays or this era Afk lvling is the thing .. if you think is hard in gramps . go somewhere you able kill .. )
 
4. What's the best char to start out here for newbies like me? Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.
(swordman - assasin this is common class to start with ) if you able to dual client . can make a priest lvling together with you )

I am a returning player that started about a week ago. I’m now a lv 85 sin. I have noticed it has been pretty solo, but I am looking for some people to take on higher lev content at some point. My character is Bauma and I play on chaos. Feel free to look me up. I came back because this is the game I played before <snip>

Good to know you're enjoying the game so far. If you want to have some people to play with, I suggest you browse through the Party and Guild Recruiting subforum for Chaos Renewal. I believe you can join some active social and PvM guild that can guide you through the game. Good luck!
