Word to all you folks: The promotion quest to knight has been killer so far.

I made a 2-handed Quicken based Knight waaaaay back a few summers ago, who owned hardcore. It'll be worth it, trust me.

Already knew that from seeing them in action. I now have half of the monster parts I need, though I can't even reach the place I need to go to to get bug's legs.

It might be worth mentioning when we're usually online to make forming a party easier.

I go by Eastern Standard time.
For me, weekends are obviously best, usually in the afternoon. 2-5 P.M. is great.
On weekdays, I'm usually on at around 8 in the evening. Sometimes I'm on earlier in the day, but not that often.
Hope to meet some of you in-game.

My character's name on RO is also Hyperguy. I usually play from anywhere to 6 p.m. to late at night. I'm on Eastern time. Regdren's magic is intense. I still haven't found KiinanWiriyamasu.

Well, I just made Knight, and I have to say it was worth it. My HP almost doubled from the promotion, and Two-hand quicken is a killer skill. Now all I need are some slotted boots and I can use that Zombie card I found.

This game sounds pretty fun...hopefully later this year when i can upgrade to broadband i can join the army.

Hyperguy · « **Reply #26 on:** June 29, 2006, 07:30:25 pm »

So do you have to do a quest in order to get your Peco Peco?

Kiinan Yamasu · « **Reply #27 on:** June 29, 2006, 07:45:11 pm »

Sorry, haven't been playing much.

Also, what part of this server are you on? If it's the one with the test, then I am stuck on the freaking test.

Hyperguy · « **Reply #28 on:** June 29, 2006, 07:53:17 pm »

You mean the tutorial?

After you pass the tutorial you're put into the game world. From there you can use towns to warp from place to place. Everything's connected and you can try walking, though it's much faster to warp.

Also, you can skip the tutorial completely.

Regdren · « **Reply #29 on:** June 29, 2006, 09:02:49 pm »

I recommend going through the entire tutorial, if for no other reason than your get some free levels and items.

Also, my main character is a wizard now. In a day or two I'll put up a new thread with tips on how to play as a mage, plus the test to become a wizard. My wizard FAQ will be a while....first I have to level everything up and reincarnate so that I know the process as well as I can. Honestly though I'm not in a huge rush about that...maybe I'll try a second character at some point. The Merchant-Alchemist path looks interesting; being able to brew potions for the Awesome team seems pretty appealing.

R-9 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2006, 09:07:32 pm »

Apparently, all I need is the ride skill and the cash to rent a Peco Peco. Not grand quest for this one, though I do wish there was some way I could get myself a permanent riding bird. I'd be willing to go through a quest for such a boost in overland movements.

Anyway, since I'm crazy, I'm going to go an archer/dancer path with my secondary.

ROMate · « **Reply #31 on:** June 29, 2006, 09:17:40 pm »

What are the different classes for RO? If I was to play it, I'd want to be something that's not what someone else is (I hate having 2 people in the party with the same class).

Regdren · « **Reply #32 on:** June 29, 2006, 09:37:43 pm »

Ooh, where to start. This link will help:
http://iro.ragnarokonline.com/game/jobintro.asp
Each basic class has 2 branches for promotion, so overlap shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Although the guides in Gamefaqs.com are rather old, their advice on builds and stat growth is pretty solid, so if you want more info on a specific class I recommend that you look there.

Edit: Apparently there's a martial artist class on our server that isn't in the site I referenced. It isn't in any of the FAQs either. Perhaps the people at Clownphobia added it in? Anyway, Hyperguy would know about that class, so if you're curious you can ask him about it.

JG · « **Reply #33 on:** June 29, 2006, 10:29:10 pm »

Might be nice to have a list of what classes are already taken amongst the hyperguy guild. Or what classes are really needed to round out the group. Maybe both.

Hyperguy · « **Reply #34 on:** June 29, 2006, 11:08:31 pm »

Well, I'm Taekwon. It's one of the newest classes so it isn't listed in many places. It's based around melee attacking and kicks.

Regdren's got a Mage.
R-9's got a Knight now.
I remember YTF saying that he'd play Mage after his download finishes.
Catt Shinji's got an assassin and a dancer.

ROMate · « **Reply #35 on:** June 29, 2006, 11:13:03 pm »

Hrm. Not sure what's left. Anything the party needs in particular?

Hyperguy · « **Reply #36 on:** June 29, 2006, 11:25:13 pm »

It looks like there's still merchant, archer, theif, and acolyte.

Then there's the Level 2 jobs that base class evolves into like Monk, Rogue, Bard, Sage, Crusader, etc.

I think it'd be best to pick a class you like and are effective with. I'm actually kind of suprised that no one's tried being a Priest yet, since they're one of the more powerful classes in the game. Then again, they're mainly support so they may not be as fun to play as say a swordsman.

I'm excellent with mages in RPGs myself, but don't like having to manage SP so I went with a melee class.

ROMate · « **Reply #37 on:** June 29, 2006, 11:27:24 pm »

I can't stand filling a support role. Since you usually gain EXP by killing monsters, and support classes suck at killing monsters, I find it tedious and frustrating to level up as one. I might go for a Monk or Crusader.

importgamer13 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 29, 2006, 11:43:58 pm »

You guys may have a full party by the time i can afford to get broadband. (Saving up for Gencon in August,plus i just bought my buddy's entire Turbographix 16 and Atari Lynx collection.)

But,whenever i can get broadband,i'll play RO with you guys sometime (Darn my slow as hell dial-up...lol)

Regdren · « **Reply #39 on:** June 30, 2006, 06:54:47 am »

HG, if you're going to choose between Monk and Crusader, I recommend Crusader. The Monk class requires that you play as an Acolyte first, which is mostly healing support and stat buffs. As I understand it, that's the sort of thing you wanted to avoid. Also, from what I've heard Monks aren't all that impressive.

Edit: that having been said, if you still want to try a monk you can find a guide here:
