# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two elements that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is locked in animation after casting skill.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}

* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two elements that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|

* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-

|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

=== Stats Build ===
This is how I build my stats at Lv 260.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options

|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|

* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.

* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

Penghaw: /* Points Distribution */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''

|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.

* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

|
* Single-target

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

2023-08-30T10:39:18Z

Penghaw: /* Stats Build */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is how I build my stats at Lv 260.

|-

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

2023-08-30T10:36:35Z

Penghaw: /* Shotgun */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5409}}.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with {{#skill:5405}} AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''

|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.
|-

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# Currently in the middle of burnout so my gear progression will be slow.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|-
|{{#skill:2563}}

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

2023-08-30T09:56:49Z

Penghaw: /* Current Setup */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, some are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is single-target so it is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill

|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.

|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw: /* Pistol */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun for farming.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''

|{{#skill:5409}}

* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.

|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>

* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Update Progression End-Game gear section
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|{{#skill:2565}}

|Rebellion's best skill. Allows you to farm effectively even at early levels. Only usable when using GG.

|1
|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|{{#skill:2565}}
|10
|Rebellion's best skill. Allows you to farm effectively even at early levels. Only usable when using GG.
|-
|{{#skill:2552}}
|1
|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.
|-
|{{#skill:2568}}
|5
|Reduces FCT and gives bonus ATK at the cost of reducing HIT. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cooldown is longer than duration. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2563}}.

|-
|{{#skill:5403}}

|What makes you capable of doing over 1 billion damage in a single skill. Moving with {{#skill:2564}} does not cancel the status.
|-
|{{#skill:5414}}
|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always starts at 2%, but can be increased up to 100% based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, hunt the related monsters, or try your luck with the old card albums.

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|{{#skill:2565}}
|10
|Rebellion's best skill. Allows you to farm effectively even at early levels. Only usable when using GG.
|-
|{{#skill:2552}}
|1
|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.
|-
|{{#skill:2568}}
|5
|Reduces FCT and gives bonus ATK at the cost of reducing HIT. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cooldown is longer than duration. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2563}}.

|{{#skill:5402}}

|-
|{{#skill:5403}}

|What makes you capable of doing over 1 billion damage in a single skill. Moving with {{#skill:2564}} does not cancel the status.
|-
|{{#skill:5414}}
|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
*** TL;DR taming chance is always 2%, but increases based on:
**** How high your LUK is.
**** How low the target monster's current HP is.
**** How high your Base LV is compared to the target monster's Base LV.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Costume Enchants ===
You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.
 
Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, or try your luck with the costume enchant boxes.

You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.
 
Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, hunt the related monsters, or try your luck with the old card albums.

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.

|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.
|-

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.

** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Costume Enchants ===
You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.
 
Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, or try your luck with the costume enchant boxes.

You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.
 
Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, hunt the related monsters, or try your luck with the old card albums.

How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT
 

=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.
 

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|'''Skill'''
|'''Properties'''
|'''Summary'''
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.

Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.

* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.

|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Costume Enchants ===
You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.
 
Either frequently check out the market and/or the trade channel, or try your luck with the costume enchant boxes.

=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.
 

=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.

* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD

* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.

* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.

Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.

* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>

* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.

|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

|-

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

* 7x7 AOE

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown

|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.

* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +620019|+587</nowiki>
|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.

|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

|{{#skill:5407}}
|

* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

|-

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +620019|+587</nowiki>
|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Costume Enchants ===
You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options

|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|

* 7x7 AOE

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|-
|{{#skill:2563}}

|-

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-
|{{#skill:5405}}

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.

|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options

|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-30
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw's Newbie Guide To Mid Game

2023-08-30T09:35:54Z

Penghaw:

'''Will re-add to General Guides category once it is properly finished.'''

== Introduction ==
Last Updated: 2023-07-25
 
'''THIS IS A WIP'''
 
This is a general guide aimed towards those who are new to Ragnarok or Renewal Ragnarok.
 
Also will guide you towards features provided by MuhRO which improves your QoL (quality of life).

== Leveling Guide ==
=== Lv 1-20 ===
Simply follow the tutorial, once you get teleported to Prontera you should be at level 20.
 
Go to main office and change your job to the desired class. Check out [[Available Classes]].
 
BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING [https://muhro.eu/wiki/index.php/Penghaw%27s_Newbie_Guide_To_Mid_Game#Recommended_Autoloot_List THIS SECTION]
 
Then go to eden and join the Eden Quest Board and collect your Paradise Gears.
 
Paired with the Beginner Hat, you should be able to take out most monsters your level by now.
 
If you are a rebirth class or skipped the tutorial, go to anthell and beat some ant eggs until 20.

=== Lv 20 - 45 ===
Use the warper and go to Dungeons > Sunkenship.
 
Defeat Pirate Skeletons there until you hit Lv 40.
 
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO USE YOUR NOVICE MANUAL BEFORE LEVELING PAST 40. IF YOU USE IT AT LV 41+ THE ITEM WILL BE CONSUMED AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

=== Lv 45 - 70 ===
Get advanced eden weapon
 
Go to eden, take all quests for Sunkenship

=== Lv 70 - 99 ===
GH
 
NOTE: If you are playing one of the main classes, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you do the rebirth otherwise you won't be able to go to 4th Jobs.

=== Lv 99 - 130 ===
Optional: Lv 100 get eden weapon and armor
 
Illusion Moonlight

=== Lv 130 - 160 ===
Optional: get grace gear
 
Illusion Vampire

=== Lv 160 - 175 ===
Illusion Twins (tough, might need carry)

=== Lv 175 - 180 ===
Magma F3 (tough, might need carry)

=== Lv 180 - 200 ===
Einbech F3 (tough, might need carry)
 
Congratulations, you have now hit 4th Job! Now go hunt abit more and gain so you can use their skills and enjoy Ragnarok Renewal.

=== Lv 200 - 240 ===
Einbech F3, Illusion Underwater F2

=== Lv 240+ ===
Research what gears you want to aim for, ask around in discord or in-game for advice, and proceed to level while doing so.
 
Most importantly: good luck and have fun!

== Recommended Autoloot List ==
Before going further into the game, I highly recommend configuring your login settings.
 
Go to the main office, and find the '''Settings''' NPC on top right corner.

=== Auto Loot IDs ===
Change Login Settings > Auto Loot IDs > Change
 
Insert the line below:

What this does is that whenever you login the next time, you will ALWAYS loot the following items

Penghaw's Night Watch Guide

Penghaw: /* Stats Build */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit

* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.

|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw: /* Stats Build */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.

|0 or 5

|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Penghaw: /* Stats Build */

[[Category:Night Watch]]
Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats at Lv 260, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12

# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats Build ===
This is just how I build my stats, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|-

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

== Stats & Skill Build ==
=== Stats ===
This is just how I build my stats, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill

|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target

* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

|{{#skill:5409}}

* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-

== Status & Skill Build ==
=== Status ===
This is just how I build my stats, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.
 
Stats do more than what I explained, you can check various online sources for the complete details.

|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the target.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).

== Status & Skill Build ==
=== Status ===
This is just how I build my stats, and my justifications for the said breakdown.
 
You don't have to copy it 100%, but it should give you an idea on how to build your stats.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Stats
|Points
|Explanation
|-
|STR
|100
|Gives immunity to stun, adds damage slightly, and increase weight limit.
|-
|AGI
|2
|Leftover points. I don't need it since I already have 193 ASPD thanks to my armor.
|-
|VIT
|120
|Helps your HP problem and gives DEF and MDEF.
|-
|INT
|120
|Gives immunity to silence, increase SP and MDEF.
|-
|DEX
|120
|Primary damage stats. Can get to 130 if you want.
|-
|LUK
|54
|Get in multiples of 3 until you can reach 144-150 Crit. Can settle for less since {{#skill:5403}} gives 30 Crit.
|-
|POW
|100
|Ideally get it to a multiple of 3 since 3 POW = 1 P.ATK. I prefer POW over CRT because it also works for non-crit skills.
|-
|CON
|100
|Max it since I use CON items and your skill scales with it (unfortunately).
|-
|CRT
|35
|Leftover points. Gives bonus Critical Damage.
|-
|}
 

=== Skill Build ===
I will only be listing skills that are good and give explanation on why you should take them.
 
You can spend leftover points however you see fit.

|{{#skill:2565}}
|10
|Rebellion's best skill. Allows you to farm effectively even at early levels. Only usable when using GG.
|-
|{{#skill:2552}}
|1
|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.
|-
|{{#skill:2568}}
|5
|Reduces FCT and gives bonus ATK at the cost of reducing HIT. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cooldown is longer than duration. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2563}}.
|-
|{{#skill:2569}}
|0 or 5

==== Night Watch ====
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align: left;"
|Skill
|Recommended Lv
|Notes
|-
|{{#skill:5401}}
|10
|Free '''MASSIVE''' damage boost.
|-
|{{#skill:5402}}
|10
|Free '''MASSIVE''' CON boost.
|-
|{{#skill:5403}}
|1
|What makes you capable of doing over 1 billion damage in a single skill. Moving with {{#skill:2564}} does not cancel the status.
|-
|{{#skill:5414}}
|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Disclaimer:
# This is a WIP.
# Last updated: 2023-08-28
# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
# To-do list:
## Make damage comparison with Physical Ranged Attack Stone + CON Stone (DUAL)
## Make damage comparison PCC +12 A vs Ice Rune Coat +11 A
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the target.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).

|DEX
|120
|Primary damage stats. Can get to 130 if you want.

|-
|POW
|100
|Ideally get it to a multiple of 3 since 3 POW = 1 P.ATK.

|-
|CRT
|35
|Leftover points. Gives bonus Critical Damage.

|1
|Instantly gives you 10 coins which will be spent to cast some of your skills.
|-
|{{#skill:2564}}
|0 or 1
|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.

|-
|{{#skill:5401}}

|{{#skill:5402}}
|10
|Free '''MASSIVE''' CON boost.
|-
|{{#skill:5403}}
|1
|What makes you capable of doing over 1 billion damage in a single skill. Moving with {{#skill:2564}} does not cancel the status.
|-
|{{#skill:5414}}
|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the target.

|Optional. Only usable when using Pistol. Allows you to teleport to a cell at the cost of 1 coin.
|-
|{{#skill:2563}}
|5
|Only usable when using '''Holy''' bullet. Removed when you change bullets. Gives you a barrier based on your max HP, and gives you an ATK boost. Consumes all your coins to give stronger buff. Cannot be used together with {{#skill:2568}}.

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|-
|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-
|}

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown

|-
|{{#skill:2563}}

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-

|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.

|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

# THIS IS NEITHER THE OPTIMAL NOR THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY NW. BE CREATIVE, RAGNAROK OFFERS MULTIPLE VIABLE BUILDS FOR MOST CLASSES.
# Most of the contents here are just me sharing my thoughts and experience.
 

== Keywords ==
In this guide I will be using various keywords which are commonly known throughout the game.

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.
|-
|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN
|The Vigilante at Night
|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.
|-
|}

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive single-target damage even though it cannot crit.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|
* Ground-target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown

|-
|{{#skill:2563}}

|10
|One of the most powerful buffs in-game. Early game this skill alone easily doubles your damage output or more.
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using GG. An amazing skill that helps you retain the {{#skill:2565}} spam playstyle.
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}

|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Meant to be spammed, so you will need to stack some ACD reduction and ASPD.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Rifle. Rifle's only farming skill.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using Pistol or GG. Single-target massive damage that can be spammed up to twice per second.
|-
|{{#skill:5409}}
|0 or 5
|Optional. Mandatory if using GL. The best farming skill IMO.
|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

|
* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

|NW
|Night Watch
|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target

* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|{{#skill:5409}}

* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target

|-
|}

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|[[Abandoned Pit]] F1
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +620019|+587</nowiki>
|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

=== Costume Enchants ===
You can start working towards these since early game since they will be usable until late game.

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

|The class you're reading this guide for
|-
|DPS
|Damage Per Second
|How much damage you can dish out in 1 second.
 
Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

|GL
|Grenade Launcher
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|GG
|Gatling Gun
|One of NW's weapon options
|-
|VITN

|One of NW's GG skills. Sometimes also just referred as ''Vigilante''.
|-
|FCT
|Fixed Cast Time
|One of two element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|VCT
|Variable Cast Time
|The other element that determines how long it takes to cast your skill
|-
|ACD
|After Cast Delay
|Determines how long your character is stuck after cast.
 
Can be reduced with ACD reduction effects.
 
Needs the necessary ASPD to utilize properly.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill
|Properties
|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.
 
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"

|Summary
|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target

* 0.5s ACD
|
* Requires 31% ACD reduction and 183 ASPD to spam efficiently.
* Capable of doing DPS on par with pistol's {{#skill:5408}} when spammed to the limit.
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}
|
* Single-target
* 7x7 AOE
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* The only crit skill that deals AOE damage in NW's arsenal.
* However cast range is relatively short, AOE is middling, and needs to target an enemy.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GL.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|
* No target
* 7x7 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals more damage at the cost of smaller AOE compared to GG.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

|-
|{{#skill:5408}}

|-
|{{#skill:5405}}
|

* 11x11 AOE
* 1.5s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Deals deals damage in a massive 11x11 AOE around the caster.
* Has innate 100% DEF Bypass, good for early-mid game.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; margin:left; width: 80%;"
|Skill

* 1s ACD
|
* Deals massive damage in a 11x11 AOE.
* Ignores terrain, meaning enemies behind a wall but still within the AOE will take damage.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|{{#skill:5407}}

|-

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

* You can start farming here with just {{#skill:2565}}.
* Make sure to sell loot with {{#skill:38}}.
* {{#item:12370}} can translate to a lot of money since taming is super easy here and there's a high demand of {{#item:9052}}.
** Read [[Pet System]] Taming Chance section for details.
** Demand might change depending on player population.
* Requires a bit of walking from F1.
** Alternatively you can also farm in F1 with less yield or use {{#item:12211}} to reduce back and forth.
|-
|}

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

|[[Oz Labyrinth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 20</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.
* {{#item:1000405}} has 0 weight so you can farm almost indefinitely.
* Bring '''Water''' ammo if you're having trouble 1-shotting.
* Cannot warp directly so you have to walk a bit from F1.
|-
|[[Snake God's Warmth]] F2
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki>
|
* Easily accessible by warping to Dungeons > Snake's Nest.
* Good place if you want to start building your Dim Glacier weapon early.
* Monsters here have a chance between 4.62% to 9% to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* All loots are decent, so you can just pick up everything.
* Not as good as [[Abandoned Pit]] F1 but this place has lower entry barrier.
|-
|[[Thanatos Tower Revamp]] F12
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +7054</nowiki>
|
* The best place to farm raw zeny.
* Need to clear [[Thanatos Tower]] to access.
* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

|[[Abandoned Pit]] F1
|<nowiki>@autoloot 100</nowiki> <nowiki>@nolootid +620019|+587</nowiki>
|
* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

|
* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz

Also how some people measure their e-peen with.
|-
|AOE
|Area Of Effect
|Unit is measured in cell count from edge to edge. E.g. 11x11 = 5 cells to the left/above + 1 center + 5 cells to the right/below
|-
|ASPD
|Attack Speed
|Max value is 193.
 
Formula: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) = Attacks per second.
 
E.g. 193 ASPD = 50 / (200 - 193) = 7 attacks per second.
 
This and ACD also determines how many skills you can cast per second.

== Introduction ==
Night Watch is one of the extended classes available in Ragnarok Online.
 
They specialize in doing damage from a distance, be it single-target or area.
 
There are 5 different types of guns available for them, each useful for various situations.
 
They cannot farm or do MVPs as efficient as other classes designed for them, but they can do a pretty good job at it.

 
 
=== Pros & Cons ===
Pros:
* Extended class means no rebirth hassle and less EXP required to level compared to the main classes
* Extended class also means easy access to 100% DEF Bypass in form of Shadow Gears
* Able to farm relatively well thanks to large AOE skills
* Able to do MVPs relatively well thanks to skills that can crit
* Guns deal 100% damage to all size, meaning you have an extra Shadow Gear slot by skipping Infinity Shadow Gear
* Almost all skills have 0 VCT, and you only need to worry about FCT after you become Night Watch

Cons:
* Extended class also means lower total stats
* Due to how their skill is distributed, you will most likely need 2 weapons - 1 for farming and 1 for doing MVPs
* Above is also the reason why you will most likely need 2 sets of gears to optimize
* Not the best class at farming or doing MVPs
* Small HP pool - meaning you are squishy and dies easily without correct positioning
* Need to invest in 50% ACD reduction to spam skills optimally
* Suffers from CONundrum™ like Wind Hawks and bow-build Abyss Chasers
** CONundrum™ - a situation where you are forced to spend points into CON while other crit-based classes can optimally go for POW and CRT

 
 
=== Weapon Options ===
Your weapon choice will determine your playstyle.
 
Here's a simple breakdown of each gun and what skills you get.

==== Pistol ====
Capable of dealing the highest damage in one skill amongst the Night Watch's arsenal.
 
Can deal with most MVPs swiftly.
 
Sadly only have single target skills, so you will need to pair this with another gun.

|-
|{{#skill:5406}}
|
* Single-target
* Bypass Defense
* 1s FCT
* 0.35s Cooldown
* 0.5s ACD
|
* Deals significantly less damage compared to {{#skill:5408}}.
* Innate bonus doesn't matter because you will not be using pistols before getting 100% DEF Bypass.
* Don't bother using.
|-
|{{#skill:5408}}
|
* Single-target
* Can crit
* 1s FCT
* 0.5s Cooldown
* 1s ACD
|
* Capable of dealing over 1 billion damage when properly geared in 1 cast.
* However requires a lot of investment to do so.
* Needs 50% ACD reduction and 175 ASPD to spam efficiently (twice per second).
|-
|}

==== Rifle ====
The very weapon that relates with NW's identity as being mediocre.
 
Capable of competing with Pistol in terms of single-target DPS.
 
Allows you to use {{#skill:2569}} which has a 70% chance to reduce target's resistance by 50% for 10s.
 
Can deal the highest AOE DPS, but middling cast range and AOE makes it clunky.

|-

==== Shotgun ====
Honestly I never tried this weapon, because its skills are bad.
 
GL has significantly wider AOE with Wild Fire.
 
GG has significantly wider AOE with Vigilante In The Night AND bypasses defense.
 
Also has big ASPD penalty.

|-

==== Gatling Gun ====
One of the best weapon options for NW.
 
Gets innate DEF Bypass and deals damage in a massive AOE.
 
Also capable of dealing the most single-target damage excluding crit skills.

|-

==== Grenade Launcher ====
Has the highest base weapon damage among NW's weapon options.
 
Also has the highest ASPD penalty, making it somewhat hard to spam skills with.
 
Very effective at clearing enemy clusters from a distance.

== Progression ==
'''WIP'''
 
Road to Night Watch

=== Early Game ===
'''You spin me right round baby right {{#skill:2565}}'''.
 
Leveling from Gunslinger until Rebellion will be a breeze since we don't have to do rebirth.
 
From then you will start spamming {{#skill:2565}} all the way until you become NW.

=== Mid Game ===
At this point you should already be a NW.
 
Time to figure out which farming weapon you prefer.
 
Common choices are GG ({{#skill:5405}}) or GL ({{#skill:5409}}).
 
Rifle ({{#skill:5407}}) is also available but it is significantly worse than the other 2 and you will be needing tons of CRIT.
 
At this point you can also start looking up for costume enchants using your fashion points or from market.

* The best place to farm {{#item:1000405}}.

* Cannot warp directly, so you'll have to walk all the way up from F9.
* Requires you to have {{#item:12211}} otherwise you will go back and forth a lot.
* Use either '''Water''' or '''Holy''' ammo.
* Monsters there can cast {{#skill:30}}, so it is highly recommended to use {{#item:12710}}.
* Monsters there can cast SP drain, so bring your SP restoration items.
* Highly recommend you to have {{#item:4119}}.
** It will change your property to Shadow.
** All monsters there cast Shadow-property spells, meaning you are now immune.
** SP drain IS NOT a shadow-property spell so it will still affect you.
* {{#item:7054}} has the worst weight to zeny ratio, so you can opt to skip it.

* Best place to farm Dim Glacier weapon as most monsters here also have a 11.96% chance to drop {{#item:1000322}}.
* Blacklist {{#item:620019}} because it is '''EXTREMELY''' heavy at 700. {{#item:587}} is worthless and weights 5.
* Can opt for '''Wind''' ammo as 2 monsters here are '''Water'''. But you have to ignore the '''Earth''' monsters then.

* The best farming spot available right now. Drops everything you need.
** {{#item:984}} and {{#item:985}} for refining
** {{#item:25729}} can be traded into any of {{#item:1000430}}, {{#item:1000434}}, or {{#item:1000438}}.
** {{#item:25729}} can also be traded into {{#item:50034}} for {{#item:50033}}.
** {{#item:25731}} can be traded into {{#item:6635}}.
* Blacklisted items are stuff that are heavy and/or worthless.
* Personally I think this place is unhealthy for the game because once you reach this place you don't need to farm anything else, reducing social interaction by trading (or is that a good thing?).

== My Gear Progression ==
How I went with my NW. You don't have to 100% copy, this is just a reference.
=== Early Game ===
I played {{#skill:2565}} until I become NW.
 
After that I started building up 1.5s FCT for {{#skill:5405}}.

=== Mid Game ===
I felt that {{#skill:5405}} is too clunky since I need to get up close, which takes time.
 
{{#skill:5409}} on the other hand can be cast from afar, has 11x11 AOE, and ignores terrain.
 
Also at that time someone was selling fully enchanted glacier weapons for 10m.
 
So I switched to GL and built the DEF Bypass Shadow Gear combo.
 
It was the easiest decision of my life.

=== Current Setup ===
At this point I have 2 sets of gears, most are shared between them.
 
Farming build is for clearing mobs as efficiently as possible.
 
Crit build is specifically for MVPs, thus why I use {{#item:4140}}.
 
==== Farming Build ====
Planned upgrades:
* Beelzebub Crown to A 12
* Sealed Chain to Battle Processor with Long-range 9~10% damage enchant
* Pirate Captain Coat to A 12
* Accessories to Varmundt
* Shadow Gear - Weapon to Mega Blitz
