Introduction

<page under construction>

Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 7/Sep/2025). You would see me often AFK in the center of Prontera/Gonryun/Garden of Time with my Soul Ascetic (SA) char R.ClickToRename254519 or other characters. This guide is merely what I experienced in MuhRO and what I understand after playing for a mere 1 year's time as of this guide is written. I do not claim my method to be the best nor the insight or knowledge to be the most accurate; not even close, in fact there are many other players, who are simply technically and knowledge-wise better, who is growing stronger faster and more efficiently, who make more friends, and who contributed more for MuhRO community (also feel free to dm me on discord/In-game for whatever reason I'll talk to you whenever my time/energy allows it). I just simply tried to write it out, because I think frequently I saw that there are people who simply wants to know what's others are doing and simply wants to know what's the benchmark, people who get into trouble and don't know what part they're doing wrong, or someone's who is feeling that they are not progressing, etc. While it is hard to give convincing or objective opinion on these issues without offending or sounding like a gossiper or condescending because, frankly, it is simply hard to explain things without a standardized unified perception of reality or an official authority. To be honest, I am not that sure that discussion demands regarding these matters from either new or old players are high even (as of 7/Sep/2025) because I think most people are casual about these matters. Though I think it will be somehow beneficial in the very long run for specific type of people with unique fate who is destined to read this compendium insights and stratagems of mine, and also for other people that randomly came across this writing and read it while they are bored and too tired to actively do anything meaningful in-game but still want to feel as if they are progressing the game somehow.

Lastly and most importantly, I have to state here: there's no Guide of Guide, for a Guide that can be written is not the True Guide, so much so that that you should always strive to find and create the better routine/pattern of action and decision making, and to endlessly experiment about and to try to know more about how the little world of this MuhRO server truly works. This guide is just here to help to craft your own cosmology/world view, that in the end you are able to be the true guide for yourself. All in all, after reading this guide it is my greatest wish that people would be inspired somehow and hopefully with their own strength could escape their own individual prisoner's dilemma (classic scenario in game theory that shows why two rational individuals might not cooperate, even if cooperation would benefit them both) and by so eventually and by compounding create a nicer time for everyone in the community.

Scope/For whom this guide is intended for

Early, mid, to end game decision-making guide or a manual of some sort of eliminating not nice to be around people and not fun or beneficial to do things for those players whom have reached the beginning of realization that this server is a marathon game not a sprint, that this server is here to stay and will outlast many if most official servers out there, and that the server is the best and because of all these things, you realized that being good and smart by aligning yourself with the raison d'etre of this server will have better payoff than short term predatory behaviors and cheap thrills. As Sun Tzu once said, "Those who plan extensively before a battle are likely to win; those who plan only a little are likely to lose." and such I hope with this guide it would be easier to sort out what behaviors and what kind of people that you interact with will or will not help you reaching your long term goals and avoid the trap of: Everyone else is doing it = Good. It is simply not, because everyone has different goals in mind and most affluent people of the server hides what their exact cashflow producing methods. What matters the most is your own situational understanding, adaptability, and awareness of it all to plan ahead and ultimately benefits just by positional advantage and having latent capability.

This guide is very subjective and intuitive as I do not provide exact judgement and detailed appreciation of which why some costumes or stones might or might not work as well for mine or your in-game character's designs, but for that case you can find me to test out or experiment with any costumes/effect stone that are listed/mentioned within this guide, unless I specifically stated to not have them. In this guide you are assumed to have already bought Alternate Costume Coupon (for some jobs with not too well made 4th job's skin) or is in progress to do so and don't mind spending on this matter (or is saving up), have bought Pet Disguise Coins whenever it suits the entire palette combination, and/or at one point have accumulated and cashed out thousands of FP (Fashion Points) for effect stones via slot machine NPC on the @go main second floor (because those effect stones are more important than jobs stones amirite).

While hopefully able to simplify and covers the most basics of basics conceptually speaking, one thing to state about the scope of this guide is its limitation: that there are certainly better methods for designing and conceptualizing more complex schemes (e.g. animated costumes/animated stone effect as the highlight) and so this guide will not cover those more advanced field of practical applications, because it will require far more complex fundamentals and practical experiences, of which I don't think I have enough. And it would be night impossible to make myself able to accurately write something that complex, while trying to keep guide fun and lightweight, at least for the state that I am now. Also lastly you are required to have the drive and tenacity to spend hours at a time just to find the perfect cloth colour on Dr. Style NPC (this is a warning).

True End Game optimization problem is that for some people culturally, some costumes/effect stones setups suit them better as it simply satisfy the specifics of their personal styles and currently owned assets (e.g. you don't know what will you win from your Costume Reward Box Summer (41010) ), so we will not assume a narrow-minded stance on this issue and would tolerate a bit lesser mismatch and whatnots as long as things work well (shout out to get the costume envy immunity people!).
