If you're not reading the wiki (not the forums, the actual wiki), who's to say you're actually going to read a thread of what does and and does not work in RO considering that would be the same thing stated in the wiki.

And if everybody who got crushed in WoE didn't come back to WoE again, the game would have died years ago. Yeah, it's discouraging to be used as toilet paper for the more well-skilled/geared/leveled people for one, two, twenty WoEs, but one way or another, if you don't want to be the next roll of tissue up for use, you're going to have to do work. Whether it's working your way legit or illegit, you're going to have to if you actually want to not be steamrolled. And one good way to work is to read the wiki for yourself or ask questions when things aren't unclear.

Getting back to the topic, you made a mistake, it's over, move on and learn.

Here's some threads from which you can learn.

From last month
From last month again
From September
Another September one
OP from August was smart
One from August, *shrug* throwing it in anyways
Possibly good discussion from August

Seriously, if you're unsure, it's okay to ask questions. Sometimes the questions are stupid, but if you genuinely don't know, there will be someone who can help you. And based on the number of threads on this subject in recent months, maybe this is something Gravity needs to adjust a little, or people just need to be more informed.

I do admit it's a pain not knowing about the ti's and the level cap. But really it's not a rule, it's bad mechanics in the game. And we can all admit there is a lot of bad mechanics in the game.

You can only ever level up 1 time and go to ~ 95% from a single source of XP. Its been this way since at least 2006, it was done that way so you don't have someone getting an MVP and going up 38 levels or something. We kept the exp broken up into chunks that are appropriate for the levels the quests were for so there would be no wasted XP/jXP. You should have gone up several levels though as each monster would give 1 chunk of xp (2 if you focused it all in either only). I don't know why you didn't get 3 job levels at least.

And I know you don't like this but we have it in large chunks precisely so it is a cap of about 2.9 levels per pair of turnins so you need to go back and do it again to get through the levels. It is pretty common to get about 1 level from the killing + 2.9 = about 4-5 levels per day on each base and job which is about the pace we wanted to encourage on the turnins.

I think someone who has a vast knowledge of ro should make a sticky thread of things not to do/common mistakes in ro. The funnest(not!) thing to do is to have to scroll through 20pages of posting hoping to find your answer.

Who the hell would be stupid enough to wast time and create something like this?

[recolector22]

actually the common newbie mistakes could be a good idea, i mean not 20 pages or something like that
but four, five only with the most fatal down right broken aspects of the game for example

"if a map says monster are level, for example, 23, you could also expect one or two monster a little more higger"

" never get close to south prontera on low levels, you are going to be one shoted very often"

"the kafra gift at the begining are meant to be used, use them or you are going to waste them"


finally, WoE for doesnt matter the level or the gear. you either love it or hate it

i get one shoted every time and i dont hurt anyone with my attacks. still I love it
,its so fun, and you can always just help the pros and watch them fight

RO did have a "Tip of the Day" window with some helpful tips for newbies, but it seems to be gone now...

You can still access the window by typing in /tip in chat but there are no tips anymore. Maybe they can put "Tip of the Day" back in and add some extra useful information. I'm not sure why it was taken out in the first place.

I can't remember the last time I saw a downvote that big.
