And what do you think after lv 50?

[Breeg]

Depends greatly on your class and equipment. Most likely the same things you killed until 50. Mages could do Clock Tower until 99, hunters could do most Glastheim maps with Ankle Snare, dancers/bards could hit&run multiple high exp areas too. Swordsmen, thieves and merchants are the tough ones as they don't get significantly stronger after jobchange. Maybe try Bybalan Island 3/4, Orc Dungeon 2, Toy Factory 2, Coal Mine 3?

Thank you so much, this should be pinned

[Breeg]

I don't think the information here will be up-to-date for too long I suspect the spawns will change in the near future, unless Heim insists on keeping the pre-amatsu spawns for whatever weird reason. He did say he'd customize monster locations and spawns, though!

Seal map is pretty good for hunters when they get ankle snare. Dark Frame map is pretty good too if you can get a rogue to snatch out the other monsters from one of the rooms.

Yup. I would suggest leaving the Marionettes too, though, as they drop some rather nice items. And unless your ping is very low and you're good at trapping, I would wing away everything EXCEPT the Marionettes. They are good base exp, high job exp and easy to kill. Dark Frames have a shadow element ranged attack and ranged stone curse attack, both of which will hurt a lot if they hit you.

There should be two maps with 35 of them. One of them is 2x east of Morroc. There are also Baby Desert Wolves and Condors, which makes it a great place to gain exp and zeny

Thanks.

another little tid-bit to save a little bit of money. instead of buying magnifying glasses all the time, go to a vendor and see how much the items are worth. Like if i am killing baby desert wolves, and i get shirt drops...a cotton shirt sells for 5z and a adventure suit sells for 500z. So, i sell the 5z ones and mag the 500z ones for use or vending !

Alternatively, look up the monster's drops on a database. If it drops 2 items of the same type, you can check the weight (by dropping the item) to see which it is.

[CaptainJim]

Also if you ID an item and get more of the same item type, you can right click on the identified item to bring up the item description and then right click on the unknown item to do the same. If the item description disappears then it is the same item, but if it pulls up a new description window in its place that just reads "unknown item" then it's a different one. I used this trick a lot back in Biolabs a long time ago to figure out if I got the mob's trash drops or their special ones /no1

Can anyone recommend a good leveling spot that I can solo for my thief?

[KitanaWalker]

Can a level 41 thief solo hodes? If not are they still desired at hodes? I'm soloing orc village on my thief with CK and getting decent exp

doesnt orc lady hit u very hard?

[KitanaWalker]

[Eternal]

in the olden days thiefs that turned to sins used to level on sandmen. I really wish they had put geos/sleepers/goats/mi gaos

[KitanaWalker]

Went to byalan, it's good exp and easy to get to, def not a mage only dungeon like others have said

[Anko]

Mage class can do mandragora, flora, greatest general, argiopes, clocks, gh prison.

In Payon is an NPC who, after being given a meat, will trade empty bottles + apples/carrots/grapes/bananas for the corresponding juice. Grape juice in particular is a pretty nice bargain SP restorative.

what is the location of this npc? It would be very helpful if any1 could tell his co-ordinates

[Blueflight]

Great thread! I had forgotten how dickish the old Ragnarok could be to new players and this helped a lot.

I farmed condors and other monsters on prt_fild09 (2 maps South, 1 map West of Prontera) and bought some meat then headed for the Spores 3 maps south of Payon (watch out for the poison ones though) to get to a decent level, now I'm looking towards tougher monsters.

[GoldMalice]

A good place to make zeny for mid-level characters is one map south and three maps east of Morroc.
Desert wolves drop Meat, Claw of Desert Wolf, and most importantly; Daggers at a low chance that sell for 9750 a piece at the NPC.
If you get tired of leveling, taking a break here to earn some potion money is a good strategy.

So after farming alarms for like 20 hours straight, and finally job changed to Wizard, I have one tip for all the mages out there; Don't Die.

I know it sounds stupidly obvious, but I initially didn't mind dying until I realize how much exp I'm losing.

I litterally died over 100 times in clocks tower and that means I could easily be at least 3 levels higher than I am now.

So don't be greedy; if there is any chance of dying, fly away asap. Especially once you hit jlv 45+ where every death is worth like 5-6 alarm kills.

My worst streak was 4 deaths in a row and I had to spend the next half an hour to get it back. I almost closed the game right there and then.

Just a question are all boxes sold on Kafra shops tradable?

I'm certain they are.

[Brainboner]

thx again pudidng

[mintypudding]

Protip: USE A SHIELD. There's no ASPD penalty in pre-renewal. Guards give 3 defense for only 500 zeny.

Also, Oranges are a great source of income for newbies; they sell for 150 zeny a pop. Condors and Baby Desert Wolves drop them fairly often (I think it's around a 10% chance).
