Not that I know of. I've seen some that will refine Elunium and Oridecon, but no iron. I think that only player blacksmiths can refine that.

[JG]

Thats what I'm finding out. And becuase player blacksmiths are so rare, I might never get that pushcart now :-(

[Regdren]

It is possible to get refined iron as monster drops. This info is from the Clownphobia item database, though I don't know if the drop rates are before or after the X7 boost.

Dropped By: ChonChon(0.5%), Orc Warrior(2.1%), Golem(3.5%), Steel ChonChon(2%), Goblin(2.7%), Goblin(2.5%), Goblin(2.3%), Goblin(1.7%), Goblin(1.5%), Skeleton Worker(4%), Zerom(1.9%), Angry ChonChon(0.5%), Iron Fist(3%), Orc(2.1%), Goblin ?(2.7%), Smoking Orc(2.1%), Christmas Goblin(2.7%), Cruiser(3.2%), Goblin Archer(2.5%), Orc Lady(3%), Steam Goblin(3%), Goblin Leader(12%), Panzer Goblin(3.6%), Antique Firelock(55%), Eq. ChonChon(0.5%), Orc Warrior(2.1%), Steel ChonChon(2%), Metaling(2.5%), Obsidian(3%), Pitman(3%),

Some enemies that drop iron also drop iron ore so don't get discouraged. If I ever get some spare iron I'll let you know.

Post your character name and I'll give you any iron that I come across.

>.< that item database should have the monsters that drop sorted by drop rate descending... it gets so tiring perusing that item database =/

it's still hella useful though.  god I never even knew RO had that many items till I looked at the item database.

[JG]

I read that metallings drop them at a fairly decent rate.  Too bad I haven't found where they're all hidden yet.  Of the two gamefaqs that mention them, one is missing metaling from its enemy list, the other says they're in locations that they're not (sounds like thier map skills are poor or the clownphobia map is somehow different)

The gamefaqs files on RO are hopelessly outdated.

ok, i made a toon! my name is sevren!

[Regdren]

Great! Hope to see you online. If you could tell us your character name and class it'll be easier to help you as you go.

Update on my account: my character neams are Regdren (Wizard) Anlaf (Acolyte) and RayMebert (Merchant). Erm, don't ask about that last one.

My acolyte is 56/42 and getting experience is a real struggle alone. At first it was easy because Heal allowed me to kill undead enemies that were otherwise way beyond my means. The only problem is that, while fast to cast, Heal drains SP like crazy. So at this point it's kill maybe three enemies for 5% experience, lose all SP while doing it, then either return to town or sit and wait. It's more time consuming than either of my other characters.

My build is pretty much full support, designed with parties in mind. So if anyone else is at a similar level, joining up with my acolyte would be greatly appreciated. Come on, help me promote to Priest so I can learn the fun stuff like Ressurrect and Glory!

[JG]

My merchant, Estel Vyse, is 55/42.  Can't get much closer in levels.  I've been earning my experience 1 west and 1 north of alberta where the bigfeet, eggyra and elder willows roam.  They're giving about 1-2% at this level and I can kill 5-10 between rest stops, depending how often they succeed in hitting me.  Plus they drop elumium every once in a while.  If I didnt have to rest to heal up, I'd be able to tear through them just about nonstop, though I would need to recharge my Cart Revolution every so often.

Look for me tomorow night.  Or just find Hyperguy and join our party so you'll be able to see when I'm on and where I am.

whats funny is i didnt even read this post til after it had happened XD, me and hyperguy always run into eachother randomly, but this is funny.......a certain supernovice ran into you and asked for a butterfly wing for 10k , friends insued, :-O wonder who that was XD bahahha

[King Zarkon]

...yeah i played for about 20 min. today... this game is definatley not my thing.

[MMX]

The gamefaqs files on RO are hopelessly outdated.

Goddamn right they are =/

all I'm looking for is a good place for a Swordswomen to get exp and zeny --_-

I remember when I used to play iRO I would camp the second floor of Culvert nonstop but I never really got past 22-24-ish

now I'm like level 34 base level 20-something job, and ... everything either gives me crap exp or kicks the crap out of poor Izzy.  I forgot how hard Thief Bug Males hit... so much different than females o_O according to @mobinfo, 9 levels different U_U

So I tried Ant Hell and forgot those buggers are aggro-linked -_- then Geffen dungeon and remembered (too late) Poison Spores are also linked -_-

Not even Magnum Break could save me (well it could if I had more than 70SP)  I mean i see shops everywhere with everybody selling crap for like 120million and up and I'm like "will I ever be able to get any of this?"  I also have always had a strong aversion to dumping monster loot for cash 'cuz more than a few times in iRO I've been screwed out of items and forging because I haven't had enough of some drop that if I had just kept them, I'd have enough, but now have to go back and camp like a bitch (and finding the monster with the best drop rate is bad enough as it is >.<)

God it's just that none of it is explicit, it's hard to tell what is useful and what isn't without consulting some long time RO expert.  The game doesn't exactly help you, and none of the online databases and guides are worth shit -_-  *sigh* Beginning to remember why I dropped iRO.  But then again it's free so I can't complain >_>

Trust me, i had never even played before, i played for 2 weeks and i know not everything but enough to even help some veterans find out certain things at certain times.  You pick up on it real easy, just ask questions when u can and keep trying

And about the money, generally decent things sell for 1-20 mil, but there are some really really rare things that sell for 100+ that have to be personally made at high risk of item destruction.  My advice is to hunt certain cards, theres Thara frog card-15 mil, skele worker card, 10-15 mil, certain other ones(these monsters are easy).  My personal favorite is hunting and training til 80 base lvl in sphins lvl 1 and 2,(zerom drops-zerom card[20 mil]shackles[100k]gangster mask[300k], Matyrs drop-Matyr card[6-7mil]Matyr Leash[decent lower lvl accessory] , Requiems Drop- Their Card(3 mil)Old Blue Boxes[my personal favorite, high rate of drop...u can sell easy for 100-150k each, but i usually open them as theres a chance u can get a really good item, such as blinker(20 mil) but most of the time u get crap...still fun gamble though.
anyway Drainliars are also there and u can get their card..1.5 mil            its overall good place to train after u get ur first 2-1 job and until ur base lvl 80, hope that helps and hope u dig my awwwwsome grammarness

If you feel u arnt doing something right with ur stats and skills u can always make some money off of items and reset them for a price (300k for both skills and stats i believe) or u can remake ur character and check one of the guides on www.gamefaqs.com or ask around from higher lvl players, either one wont let u down

(Its realllllly easy to get items in this game, alls you have to do is type @Mi (monster name) to see their drops, and drop rates..they are like 5x rate than regular game, cards are harder than most but i got a zerom card right after saying to my friends " i think ill stay here til i get one" , its alllll luck, so stick with sphinx, wont let u down zenny wise)  I also recomend making another account, and a quick merchant for lvl 10 vending, so u can sell things while u play and while ur afk                 

If you need help with anything ill be on my super novice every once and a while
-Matthew-

(one last thing- to find out where monsters are, go to www.roempire.com/database and use the monster database, look at the location and compare it to the world map on that site), kk hope all this helps the people that wanna play

[Regdren]

Bang Doll, it looks like your swordswoman and my merchant are in about the same place. When are you usually online? I think there are things we can take on together. Bibiland Island's dungeon has a lot of monsters that are just a hair stronger than I can handle alone; maybe that would be a good place to try. Also, I have full discount and overcharge skills. I know how much depends on a melee fighter's equipment, so many I could help speed up the upgrade process for you.

[Catt-Shinji]

what character are u on reg?

[R-9]

Well, I did make dancer some days ago, and I'm finding it to be a blast. I finally have a melee attack against things that eren't worth arrows, and Scream is a great skill against stuff when I'm going solo. I can make it to Payon 3rd all by myself.

[Regdren]

Catt-Shinji: Right now? None of them. On weekdays I'm only really on RO during the evening, Eastern time.

When I do go online I find that I'm giving my merchant, acolyte, and wizard equal amounts of time, more or less. So if you're looking for me you should check all three names that I posted before.

My wizard is 70/41.

My aco is still 55/42. JG, I'll definately look out for you this evening; as far as my acolyte's abilities go the biiger the party, the better I am.

My merchant is about the same level as Bang Doll's swordswoman, though I forget the exact levels.

Edit: I realize that in the last few posts I may have been a little TOO eager to join up with other people in the Congress of Awesome. I guess it's partly from my time in Guild Wars where you couldn't do much alone. I'll try to tone it down a bit from now on.

[JG]

That was you? I'll repeat it again, you obviously have way too much money on your hands to be tossing 10k on a butterfly wing.

[MMX]

I guess it's partly from my time in Guild Wars where you couldn't do much alone. I'll try to tone it down a bit from now on.

OMG guild wars and soloing >.< brings back even more memories.  Bloody henchmen useless.

Anyways I"m usually on late evening weekdays/weekends, EST.  I'm going to log on for a few hours right now.

Edit: BTW, that RO Empire link was bloody awesome.  Tried ragnamart, emperium, ragnarokhq... all the old sites I used to go when I played iRO.  But RO Empire seems decently up to date, and their general RO DB is huge and easy to use ^^

But one question: in the monster articles, and on map section articles... there is like, this number in brackets next to a location's name (in monster articles) or next to a monster's name (in location articles) so uhh... what do they mean?  They're not the same for every monster and they don't match up to level or anything so... eh?  And what are red-colored mobs in map locations supposed to mean?  I can't find a FAQ on the site.

[R-9]

My experience is that means it's the % chance of that monster being spawend on that particular map.
