A beginner’s guide to Ragnarok Origin: All you need to know!
Intro
The official legacy of RO finally known as ‘Ragnarok Origin Global’ finally launched on 6th April 2023 in PC & mobile! It is time to join players across the world and enjoy this epic adventure together in Midgard. Which server are you guys on? Before that, let us walk you through the what’s and how’s on the world of ROO.
Terminology
Aside from a variety of languages being used to communicate with other players, it’s quite easy to get lost since a lot of players use acronyms. Some of the most common acronyms used in Ragnarok Origin are the following:
- LFG – Looking for guild (e.g. lfg competitive guild, lfg casual guild). This means you’re looking to join a specific type of guild.
- LFP – Looking for party (e.g. lfp sage memory 2, lfp angeling). This means you’re looking to join a party that’s already been created by another player.
- LFM – Looking for members (e.g. lfm sage memory 2, lfm english-speakers for casual guild). This is used by a party leader to recruit players into their party for a variety of reasons–be it to do a daily quest, kill an MVP, or do Helheim. This can also be used by a guild leader or any guild member who has the ability to invite members into their guild.
- -1 to -4. This refers to the number of people the party still needs (e.g. LFM angeling -2, which means that there are two slots left to be filled).
- FS – Full Support Priest. This is usually used in conjunction with the previous acronym (e.g. lfm angeling -2 FS).
- DPS – Damage Per Second. Often used in many MMO games, it refers to any job that specializes in dealing melee damage such as an Agility-type Knight, an Assassin, or a Hunter. The faster the DPS, the better.
- Wiz – Wizard
- BS – Blacksmith
- OH – Orc Hero (e.g. lfm oh). This refers to an MVP found in Orc Village.
- OL – Orc Lord (e.g. lfp ol). This refers to another MVP found in Orc Village
- HHH – Helheim Hard Mode (e.g. lfp hhh)
- MR – Monster Research. This is a game feature that revolves around the Monster Glossary, one of the books you can find by clicking on the Guide icon on your main screen. If someone says “LFM MR Pront South”, it means that they’re looking for party members who want to auto-battle with all the monsters found in the Prontera South Gate map to earn Monster Research Points.
Picking the right class
- Swordsman > Knight > Lord Knight (Tank, DPS)
- Acolyte > Priest > High Priest (Healer)
- Mage > Wizard > High Wizard (DPS)
- Thief > Assassin > Assassin Cross (DPS)
- Merchant > Blacksmith > Whitesmith (DPS, Trader)
- Archer > Hunter > Sniper (DPS)
Your class choice will obviously depend on your preferred play style. However, here are our personal recommendations for class choices:
- Swordsman and Archer: Tank and DPS, respectively. Ideal for solo play.
- Mage and Thief: Strong DPS but more complex than the previous two.
- Merchant: Unique class that’s ideal for making money.
- Acolyte: The dedicated healer of the bunch. Highly sought after for group content.
Stat Spreading
- STR: Increases damage of melee weapons and maximum inventory weight.
- AGI: Increases attack speed and FLEE.
- VIT: Increases max HP, defenses, and HP regen.
- INT: Increases magic attack, max SP, and SP regen.
- DEX: Increases damage of ranged weapons, hit chance, and casting speed.
- LUK: Increases crit rate and crit defense.
Leveling Guide
- First is AFK Grinding. Set up your character to grind until you’ve used up all your Combat Time and is fatigued. You can do this while taking your lunch break in school or at work, or even earlier–while you’re getting ready before you leave home each day. Don’t worry about leaving your character grinding for hours, since even though you’re no longer gaining EXP and loot items, every monster you defeat still increases your Monster Research Progress, so it’s not at all wasted!
- Second, once you get home, do the Daily Quests. You earn EXP doing Daily Quests even if you’re already Fatigued! I recommend doing 30 minutes of Fountain Dance worth 40 Commission Tickets whenever it’s available, so you can leave your character on while you’re making dinner, doing your homework, or resting after an exhausting day. Afterwards, do Misty Forest or Anthem Trial with a friend, or choose any Daily Quest that you like most. I personally like Road View as well. Take note that some daily quests such as Demon Treasure and Cat Hand Caravan don’t give EXP rewards (and don’t take your Commission Tickets either), so make sure to check the Rewards before you start a Daily Quest. If you chose the wrong daily quest and found it too hard, don’t worry–you’ll get your Commission Tickets if you fail the quest. If you changed your mind, you can always abandon a quest, by tapping on your Quest Window and choosing Abandon.
- The third and final step in this daily routine is Questing. This means everything from Story Quest, to Side Quests, and Adventure Quests. These give EXP even if you’re fatigued. If you don’t have much time, you can just do one story, side, or adventure quest each day.
Hunting MVP
This is one of the most important parts of Ragnarok Origin as it’s a great way of scoring rare items. MVPs and Minis are, in essence, boss enemies that spawn in the world and that, upon defeating them, grant some of the rarest and most powerful items in the game. Due to their difficulty, MVPs require a party in order to hunt. However, this is not the only reason why a group is necessary; the main reason is because loot and drops are distributed according to various factors such as who gave the enemy the first hit, who dealt the most damage, and how gave the last hit. In this sense, to be safe, it’s much better to form a group beforehand and collaborate with other players to take the monster down. Mnis are very much the same, though they’re not as strong as MVPs, and can sometimes be soloed by the stronger players. Nevertheless, they also give interesting and important items, so they’re always worth hunting. It’s worth pointing out here that you can use Bloody Branch items to spawn Minis, in case you don’t want to wait for them to spawn. Keep in mind that players are limited to only 5 Minis and MVPs per day. Every kill after the limit will not grant any items or loot to the participants. Also, you can always check the spawn zones and timers for all MVPs through the event menu.
To level up faster, and become the strongest adventurer, you can use Nyan Berry.
- Players can draw using nyan berry
- Draw 1 = x120 nyan berry
- Draw x10 = x1200 nyan berry
