6) Thou Shalt Respect the Services of Merchants

Learn how to interact with merchants in Ragnarok Online, including discount percentages and selling items to overcharge merchants.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When speaking with a discount merchant, always verify you have enough zeny for the item you wish to buy.
  2. 2
    Discount merchants typically offer 20% or 15% off the item's price.
  3. 3
    Do not ask a merchant to sell you an item at a considerably lower price if you do not have enough money.
  4. 4
    Discount merchants have limited profit margins and will not pay for your items out of their own pocket.
  5. 5
    Once you agree to purchase an item from a merchant, you are bound by a verbal contract to complete the transaction.
  6. 6
    Do not attempt to back out of a purchase after agreeing to it.
  7. 7
    When dealing with overcharge merchants, do not sell them items that sell for 6z or less, as you will not receive any extra zeny.
  8. 8
    Sell items worth 6z or less to yourself or another player instead of an overcharge merchant.
Tips
  • Calculate the discounted price before approaching the merchant to ensure you have adequate zeny.
  • Understand that merchants operate on profit and cannot absorb losses for your purchases.
  • Honoring your agreements with merchants builds trust and ensures smoother transactions in Ragnarok Online.

7) Thou Shalt Not screw other Merchants over

Learn how to avoid price wars in Ragnarok Online by not undercutting other merchants. Maintain stable prices for mutual benefit.

Undercutting is the practice of vending the same item for a cheaper price than another merchant in an effort to gain more business. This can lead to a cycle where merchants continuously lower their prices, resulting in a price war where both parties ultimately lose profit.

Tips
  • Vend items for the same price as other merchants in your vicinity.
  • Only consider lowering your price if another merchant is selling an item for a very high price.

8) Thou Shalt Not Beg Mercenaries of God for his forgiveness

Learn Ragnarok Online Acolyte etiquette: how to ask for heals, tipping 20z per 100 HP, and offering Blue Gems for warps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach an Acolyte (NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you)).
  2. 2
    Politely request a heal using phrases like "If it's not too much trouble, could I have a heal?" or "Can you please heal me?".
  3. 3
    Avoid demanding phrases like "HEAL PLZ" or "HEAL NOW".
  4. 4
    If the Acolyte heals you, be sure to say thanks.
  5. 5
    Consider tipping the Acolyte approximately 20z for every 100 HP they restored.
  6. 6
    Acolytes also appreciate Blue Gems for their warp services.
  7. 7
    If you hired a Blacksmith (NPC), remember to tip them as well.
Tips
  • Acolytes are not a substitute for your own healing items (like red potions).
  • Politeness is key; if you are too lazy to type "please", you may not deserve a heal.
  • Tipping is a good way to show appreciation for assistance from Acolytes or hired Blacksmiths.
