FAQs

Find answers to common Ragnarok Online questions about leveling, classes, guilds, marriage, and more. Your essential guide to navigating the world of RO.

Q: Where can I get this game?

A: Currently you can't, as the closed beta registration period is over.

Q: Is it free?

A: See previous answer, but we had to pay $10 for 2 months of play.

Q: Where should I level? Im a Level __/__ ____________.

A: I get this question a lot. There is no general place to level. Your best spot will vary greatly depending on your class, skills, stat points, gear, money, and patience. So please, stop E-Mailing me this question, as it will be ignored. I have a recommended level for each map in RO, try the ones you like.

Q: I E-Mailed you once, but I don't get a response anymore!

A: Most likely you are on my ignore list. I've put a lot of people on that lately, because you have a virus your dumb enough not to patch. If you want to get in contact with me, try Instant Messenger or the Message Boards. If you have patched your computer, I will take you off.

Q: After you change to your second class, do the fixed stat bonuses from your first class carry over?

A: No, they don't. All your fixed stat bonuses are reset.

Q: Can I save skill points from my first class and use them on second class skills?

A: Unfortunantly no. Your skill points are reset to zero upon changing jobs, so you'd best use them before hand.

Q: Why do you capitalize the second part of Chonchon and Pecopeco?

A: Because I can.

Q: What good is MDEF?

A: Have you ever seen an enemy use magic? I haven't. So absolutely nothing - yet.

Q: What do "Aggressive", "Mobber", "Magic Sense", and "Looter" mean?

A: Aggressive means the monster will attack you unprovoked - so be very careful near these. Mobbers will help their friends - say you attack a Yoyo, all the normally peaceful Yoyos on the screen will come to help. Magic sense is only useful for Mages. Some enemies detect when a spell is being cast upon them (indicated by the spinning emblem), and will attack immediatly, before the spell is cast completely. Looters, like Porings, will try to pick up items on the ground.

Q: How do I make a guild?

A: First, you'll need a guild stone, aka Emperium. Once you have it, type /guild "Your name here". BE SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS THOUGH. Once you do, the Emperium will vanish. Press ALT+G to bring up the Guild control panel.

Q: What about an emblem?

A: Create a folder in your RO directory called "emblem". Your emblem must be 24x24 pixels. The file name must be exactly the same as your guild. Note it wont show up in game immediatly, it takes a day or so to register.

Q: Whats this donation thing?

A: The Guild leader can set players to donate some EXP to the guild - between 0% - 100%. This EXP will go to level up the guild itself.

Q: How do I get married?

A: Getting married officially may be in RO's future. Right now, it is completely unofficial. Its customary to propose with a Diamond Ring, along with a Flower, Silver, or Gold Ring. The Skull Ring supposedly has the words "'Til Death do us part" or something on it, but who wants to wear an old skull? Get an Acolyte friend to perform the ceremony, and buy your honey a wedding dress, veil and boquet. Invite all your friends, and get married! You can even have a flower girl dropping 1z flowers. You can ask your guests to bring gifts as well - your imagination is the limit.

Q: Can I put this FAQ on my Website/Print it out/etc.

A: Absolutely! I ask that you E-mail me if your going to take it, just so I can see your site. I only have 2 conditions: You will not sell this FAQ for money, and will not put it on any site condoning bots, hacks, scams, etc.

Q: Whats your favorite class?

A: Thats really a tough one. If your talking overall favorite, I'd have to say Merchant. But they're so boring to level. 2nd overall favorite, or favorite for battle, would be Archers. Give them some good gear and they will kick the living crap out of anything. 3rd would be Acolytes, they are very very strong as long as you don't mind only having 1 real good place to level (Payon). After the Acolyte I'd say Thief, they're not bad. Then it would be a Swordie, they are very very boring. My worst class, and the one I absolutely hate to play, is a Mage. They just plain suck in my opinion.
