a lot of stuff overall...temp.
(Created page with "== Intro == Hey I'm Apple and I have no idea how to create this page with fancy links and stuff(studying as I'm writing this) but I wanted to make an EM guide for newbies with no or little idea on what to do & how to become an EM. I don't consider myself a good/pro player but I felt the difficulties too when I first played RO(it's not an easy game, you gotta admit) and also different servers have different features so... I dunno if I'm making any sense. Just keep in mind...")

== Beginning ==
== Beginning - Novice & Magician & Sage & High Magician ==
Whether you are familiar with RO or not the beginning part is simple. You log on -> accept to follow the guide -> follow the npc until the main office part is over -> go to Eden Group and talk to Lime to join the group -> get Eden equips -> go to Poring Village instance -> By the time you finish the instance you will be lvl 80+ and in between there's an npc that lets you change the class to Sage.

You log on -> accept to follow the guide -> follow the npc until the main office part is over -> go to Eden Group and talk to Lime to join the group -> get Eden equips -> go to Poring Village instance* -> By the time you finish the instance you will be lvl 91ish and in between there will be an npc that lets you change the class to Sage.


Once you get out make sure to enchant the Carrot or Leek depending on which one you choose. Regarding enchanting and stuff refer to this page : [[Poring Village]]
<nowiki>*</nowiki>in case you are not level 10 yet once you get to the Eden group, just click on warper->dungeon->Payon dungeon for 1 zombie. one zombie should be enough. Type @go eden to teleport to eden ; or you could use the Eden group Mark as well.
 
tip : keep in mind the elements. We are going to be Elemental Masters so should master them right? ;)
 
use lvl2 colt bolts on Drops and fire bolt or fire ball to Porings and Poporings.
 
 
Once you get out of the Poring instance make sure to enchant the Carrot or Leek depending on which one you choose. Regarding enchanting refer to this page : [[Poring Village]]. It's not the best gear but every little bit helps at the beginning.


Next go to Eden and check the boards. Each boards have corresponding required level range so you want to check the 70~99 one for now. In case you are not in game and would like to know which quests are available : [[Kill Quests and Item Collection Boards]]

From the 70~99 quests, I prefer Glast Heim 'Wraith and Evil Druids'. Others... either you gotta walk too much or the monsters hurt too much. Wraith/Evil druids are annoying too when they curse you and stuff but you can directly teleport from Eden so it's really convenient to go back and forth. Repeat this quest couple of times until you become level 99.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Check ETC #1 for an option to buy an infinite fly wing to teleport to different maps faster+more conveniently.  
Two times will probably be enough. In case you become 99 before finishing the second round, I recommend finishing it up and NOT turn it in for rewards yet.

Once you are level 99, go to Main office to rebirth.

If you are freshly new to the game, I suggest going to Payon Dungeon to kill some zombies. They are squishy so you don't need any gears to knock them down. I think 1 zombie was enough from Job level 1 to 10. Once you are job level 10 High Novice, go to Main office to become a high magician. Sad part is your Base level is probably around 3~5 so you will need to go back to Payon Dungeon to level up some more. I suggest lvling up to at least 10 here to equip the eden gears. It's also a good idea to lvl up here bit more with the eden board quest(level 1~39 board). All the eden coins you get by completing these quests will be used well so the more you complete the quests, the easier life you will find later.

All the eden coins you get by completing these quests will be used well so the more you complete the quests, the easier life you will find later.
 
After one run of Payon dungeon quest you should be lvl 45~50ish. from there explore other Eden quests or turn in the 'Wraith' quest that we saved from earlier. it should get you job lvl 50 easily; now you are a professor.
== Beginning 2 - Professor ==
Now that you are a Professor, you have two options : to keep on casting magics or beat up enimies with a hard cased book until you become a sorcerer. :P
 
Personally I prefer the latter : I think it's more fun. 
 
If you choose to keep on casting magic, then check the guides for Arch Mage. The early stages are the same.
 
If you choose to try new method then you will be using the skill 'Auto Spell'. Read the skill's description and use it to lvl up. 
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>once you reach lvl 45 you can get a new Eden weapon. I write this at this stage because this is the perfect timing to get one. Get the Spellbook if you are going to 'auto spell' and Magicbook if you are going to 'cast' spells. You can get another one if you make a mistake so don't worry if you make a mistake.  


<nowiki>*</nowiki>This stage is short anyways so feel free to do whatver you want. 


== Mid - Sage / Professor ==
Except for some new skills it's all the same - you lvl up while completing some eden quests.
Now you are Sage and you have two options : casting magic vs beating up the enimies with a hard cased book :P


Personally I prefer the latter : I think it's more fun.
Personally I'm lazy so I just repeat 'Wraith' quests :P


== Mid - Sorcerer ==
Grats, you are a sorcerer. Now you get to use some nice new magics and you could also summon spirit/elementals no other class can(that's if you have the required items)


First of all we gotta understand 'Fixed Cast Time' and 'Variable Cast Time'.  Please take some time to read this page : [[Stats]] when you have the time. RO has some complicated stuff so gotta study if you aren't familiar with these mechanics :P


As a Professor it's not too different from Sage days.  
The main skills we will be using at this 'sorcerer' stage are : Psychic Wave and Diamond Dust.
[[File:Psychic wave.jpg|left|thumb]]
[[File:Diamond dust.jpg|left|thumb]]
lvl5 Psychic Wave has 0.6 Fixed Cast Time and 12 Variable Cast Time.
 
-> since it has fixed cast time it's not suitable for newbies.
 
Advanced Paradise Shoes (470093) gives 0.3 seconds reduction
 
+
 
Advanced Paradise Magic Ring (490128) gives 0.2 seconds reduction
 
But 0.1 second is still left which you will need another items like an  Illusion Leg Type B [1] (22197) with an enchant(Modification Module (Fixed Casting Time) (25694)).
 
lvl5 Diamond Dust has 0 Fixed Cast Time and 7 Variable Cast Time. Lower lvl skill has longer cast time so make sure you master this skill first.
 
There's no fixed cast time and 7 sec. of variable cast time is much shorter than psychic wave but as a newbie with no gears, it won't be possible to completely remove the casting time.
 
There's no other choice ; at this stage we will have to live with this.
 
Spending some more skill points on Free Cast will help ; since it lets you move around while casting stuff.
 
Both skills have cool down of 5 seconds so the main strategy is to use a skill while the other one is under cooldown.
 
Also, they are both targeted on the ground so you will have to get used to kiting + luring mobs to desired location.
 
Since we focus early points to INT and DEX you will be squishy; so take a deep breath and take it easy. :P
 
Get 15 Old picks from Pitman at Einbech dungeons  -> for Advanced Eden Weapon
 
and
 
Get 5 Blue Hair from Kobolds(@navi rafild05 or go to Ice dungeon->exit-> go below-> go right) and 15 Elastic bands from Wootan Shooters(Beach Dungeon 3 -> exit to the right -> go up)
 
and
 
rent Eden Advanced Shadows using 20 Eden coins
 
Either lvl up at the Magma Dungeon F2 for some Eden quests
 
or
 
go to Illusion Moonlight. There are repeatable quests for illusion dungeons so read the corresponding wiki page : [[Illusion Dungeons]].
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Also read Tip#4
 
Once you reach lvl 120+ you can go to Illusion of Vampire as well. Or you can just spam Moonlight + Magma dungeon until 130+ or even higher.

10 Auto spell -> 10 Advanced Book -> free. Dragonology gives 3 free int so it's useful. Rest skills are rarely used at this stage.

==== -After Sorcerer ====
You are not going to use the auto spell anymore and don't need all 5 skill points for the elemental endowing skills either(flame launcher, etc) so feel free to get other skills if you feel like.
 
Recommended skills are : Advanced Book, Wall of Fog, Land Protector, Volcano, Violent Gale, Deluge, Indulge.
 
Please ignore the remaining 16 skill points below, I accidently lvled up some more without taking a screenshot :/

# If I remember correct you get some Muh Coins for free when you make the first character. You could convert them into cash points to buy an infinite fly wing at the main office which will make things more comfortable until it expires. You can also get muh coins by participating events + and hunting strong monsters. Check : [[Muh Coins]]

== Tips ==
# Repeating Eden quests are HIGHLY recommended for newbies. Inside Eden group there's a vending machine that sells powerful buff items and even self revival items for eden coins. Personally I buy small life potions + almighty + Brilliant Protection scrolls + token of siegfried + world tour ticket often.
# Participating in events is HIGHLY recommended. Muh Coins are really valuable in the beginning, selling for more than 50~60k each. You could sell for some potions and etc or convert to cash for items like infinite fly wings.
# Use the Novice Battle Manual, preferably after rebirth! only usable for characters level 40 and below so if you don't use it it's useless. If you can level fast enough you 'could' use it before rebirth but the duration's only 30 minutes so unless you are used to this server I would just save it until you rebirth.
4. Every illusion dungeons drop Refinement Boxes with the corresponding name on it(ex.  Moonlight Refinement Box (100391)). These boxes are used to refine +4 items to +7~10 without any risks to break them; and with +8~10 items you can make safe certificates to make some money for early gears. Read [[Armor Weapon Tickets]].

Lastly, reading wiki is EXTREMELY helpful even if you are used to RO from playing another server.
