Assassins are professionals in assassination.

They are especially known to form contracts with Shadow Devils to learn Shadow skills secretly handed down through the Assassin Guild. Their powers exceed any living human being.

Ragnarok Online 2 Leviathan Duo by Audentia

When it lags like hell in game, the only salvation is to do dungeons. But what would you do if you are unable to find party?



Note: Monk tank couldn't make it to the boss room through all the mobs and left game midway. So while we had 3 members in party - boss was completely duoed. After this we duoed Vador .

P.S. I'm a priest. 

Ragnarok Online 2 ExKillua Ranger Guide by UdonKing

Hi I am ExKillua mainly known for my ranger in Jormugand, I was also the one that post about how its possible for Rangers to reach 2.3k DPS with 40% crit rate (with self-buff).

Ragnarok Online 2 Battle Tactics by YihuiChen

The reason I made this calculation is because there are many knights or worriers using their stats points like 40str/40vit/8agi or 41str/41vit and I want to show them why vit is the 2nd worst stat in the game. (why its not 1st, hmm, the WIS should be).

A liitle description of the skill Battle Tactics. It gives some bonus damage when you crits(0.2% per your total int at level 1 and 0.4% at level 2). E.g if you have 50int. Instead of dealing 200% critical damage, you will do 200%*(1+ 0.4%* 50) = 240% damage.

I will try my best to make my point simple to understand.

Lets make a knight with 20% critical chance and 1000 damage per attack.

Ragnarok Online 2 Card System Guide

Card System Introduction

Personal experience of card system. Results from google are a bit outdated because it shows the old card system. For example,OLD SYSTEM: combining 3 normal poring card will give you 1 silver poring card. NEW SYSTEM: The card system has been revamped into combining 5 different cards to get 1 random card of higher rank.

Obtained cards can be equipped into the "Character Card Slot" in the character info window.As the character levels, the locked card slots will open in order And if you equip cards intothese slots,the card's power will be activated.

• Level 01 - 1 slot opened.
• Level 10 - 2 slot opened.
• Level 20 - 3 slot opened.
• Level 30 - 4 slot opened.
• Level 40 - 5 slot opened.

Once equipped a card cannot be removed. However, you can replace the card with any new one.

FAQ

What is cards?

Cards give status boost to a character when equipped. Higher rank cards will give more boost. The status boost can either be STR, AGI, VIT, INT or WIS (or a combination of several or even all of them). Card is an essential equipment in Ragnarok Online 2, for example by wearing 5 Xeno Spider Card (STR+12, AGI+12, VIT+10, WIS+3) you will get 60 STR, 60 AGI, 50 VIT and 15 WIS in total.

How to use cards?

Drag the card into your character window (shortcut key:C) More cards slots are unlocked as you level up.
There are several requirements you must follow:
Once used on your character, the card can no longer be detached.
You can override equiped cards, but by doing so, the overriden card will be destroyed.
You can only equip cards that is at least on the same level with your combat level. If you're on level 40, you are unable to use level 50's card.

You can use an additional card slots in every increment of 10 levels. This means on combat level:
1 -> You can equip 1 card
10 -> 2 cards
20 -> 3 cards
30 -> 4 cards
40 -> 5 cards (5 cards is the limit)

Where to obtain cards?

Kill monsters and pray hard they drop one. Higher ranks can only be obtained through synthesize. Cards obtainable can be checked in the card album.

Card Ranks

There are 3 ranks in accordance to the color of the card frame. Green (Normal), Blue (Silver), Yellow (Gold), Source: RO2 website. Higher ranks card are obtainable through combining 5 cards of the same rank. Normal card can be obtatined fairly easy by usual farming, while Silver, and Gold, is just like the name suggest, really hard to obtain.

How to combine cards?

The synthetizing process can be done by going to Card Master [Card Merchant] NPC in every town, by choosing "Combine". Before you do so, make sure to have "Card Synthesis Stone" as it is required to start the synthetising process, you can buy the card synthesis stone at the Card Master by choosing "Item List" menu.
Prepare 5 different cards, talk to the npc and select "combine" option. Place 5 cards and stone inside. Press combine and pray hard it is successful as it has 50% of success rate only.

Results from combining cards

5 different cards combined together to produce a higher ranking. In regards to higher ranking, for example, 5 different normal card = 1 normal+ or 5 different normal card = 1 blue. The combination of 5 green cards may result in either normal + or blue.

Apparently, the card obtained from combination is one of the original 5 cards you used. The level of the card produced seems to be the card(used in combination) with the lowest level.Different input will affect its result.

How to replace cards?

Just drag a new card over the card you want to replace. Warning: Old card will be destroyed

Tips

In order to increase the rank of a card. The card must be from a monster higher than level 10. Visit any Card Merchant and you can upgrade a card. In order to do this, you must use 5 (five) different cards and place them in the wheel. (Order, AFAIK, is not important).

You must also have purchased a Card Synthesis Stone from the Card Merchant in order to Combine a Card. You may also purchase from the Cash Shop, a Card Designated Synthesis, which will allow you to specify which card you would like to be returned to you upgraded, in the event of a success.

Now for some math. With a 50% success rate and a 20% opportunity to get the card you want returned to you, it's safe to say that you have about a 10% chance of obtaining the card you want when you combine cards. The Card Designated Synthesis removes that 20% chance and makes it a 100% chance and thus giving you the original 50% chance back. (Does not garauntee a success still)

The other alternative would be to simply place 5 cards that you want to be upgraded and well... one of them has a 50% chance and the rest will disappear. There are many ways to go about combining cards.

Do not discard unusable cards. For example you are warrior and you got a card that boosts INT and WIS, do not discard or sell them. Use it for card synthesis, since the synthesis results will be random, there is a chance the a useful card for your class will shows up. If the + card stills of no use to you, auction it! Other people (or class) will find it useful and you can sell it on a much higher price than a “without +” card.

Only stores + card. Do not pile up normal cards as it will fill your storage/inventory up to it's limit in no time. If you get a useful card for your class, equip it, or else, synthesis it into a + card.

Do not invest money by buying cards unless you're on combat level 50, as in just a few hours/days you'll get much better cards on higher level.

I play as Aquilon on the Korean server, and the armor you see is lv 50 raid (epic) equipment for the wizard. I think it helps my credibility.

Ragnarok Online 2 Mineral farming guide by boaayumi

I decided to post this as I found that iron ore was so hard to farm as they scattered around the hills and filled with aggro mobs. I spent 1 hour walking around the whole Izurd map and I found the best route to farm iron rock and it gives me 8 levels after 3 hours of non stop farming. 

Why this is the best route? Because they are all focus in 1 spot and NO aggro mobs to waste your pots or time to regen your health   

Please kindly support my post...Forum Mods pls kindly help to pin this topic to serve as the guide for new blacksmith players.   

I will update it in future once I reach new map and explore the best route for farming the rocks !

Ragnarok Online 2 Tank Warrior by aKiSera

After going through the forum a little, I wanted to share some information. I will keep it short and simple, if you are planning to add Defender...then Endure, Tension Relax, Rage Controlling and Aura Armor is a must max, followed closely by Parrying. Berserk lvl 5 is too good to be ignored too, Rage Strike is pointless. (P/S i am a main tank)

Let me share my stats screenshot, only self-buffs with Satiety food 25 def 25 parry.

Ragnarok Online 2 BlackLotus' Rogue Guide and Discussion

Okay lets get straight to the point. If you are poor or not willing to spend, or those type of player that "count dead grass", dont bother playing Rogue and choose something else like Assassin / Ranger / Priest. The reason being Rogue is a pretty costly job to play. Well, your performance depends on your willingness to spend alot. (both game money and cash I must say)



Stat point :-


Str - Increase damage by 2 and parry by 2.
Agi - Increase hit rate, critical rate and dodge rate
Int - Useless, wont do anything to Thieves
Wis - Increase max SP by 6 and mana potion healing by 0.1% but useless too
Vit - Increase max HP by 6 and potion healing rate by 0.1%

My stat build is 50 str 28 agi. Reason being to maximise damage output. You can get your critical rate from Unstable Doping and when the crit buff procs your damage will be what you would like to see as a rogue  Some people suggested Vit build since they give u better survivability ( as Rogue is super squishy) and also for the potion healing 0.1% per Vit, but they still die in dungeon anyway... So I was thinking, why bother? Just maximise your damage and do your job.

You can try 40 str 40 agi, or 35 str 30 agi 30 vit. Both are good builds. By putting more points in Agi and Vit it increases your survivability from the dodge rate and additional hp, but lowering your damage. Well for assassins, some people may argue that 50str and 40str 40agi build gives almost same damage output but you get additional dodge rate. If you think so, you may go for it. But for me I think max Str gives rogue a huge different, especially when you get the crit rate buff or increase damage based on your base damage buff from Unstable Doping. Poisoning weapon also based on your damage.

Here's a stat calculator : http://www.roguard.n...hp?m=stats_calc

Ragnarok Online 2 Raid Guide by 2pid2pid

-Raid Guide-

* Revamp and updated my guide *
Greetings guys, just writing this guide out of boredsome hope you guys enjoy it. I suggest you guys try the arena out and gain some Battle experience first before you start reading this guides.



Strategies

Main Tank - Lure it and build up Threat. Dodge all the aoes and drag the boss out of the aoe for melee DPS to maximize their burst damage.
Off Tank - Your job is to ensure all the Adds look for you. To do so, (spam Red potion) (reason behind this is, Red Potion > Healing > Threat in terms of luring Adds)
Melee DPS - Be catious about your HPs, if Front doesn't have LOR, make sure you keep yourself Survive all the time.
Priest - Keep up with Heal/ Aspersio / Ulti heal/ Bubble on Main Tank, 2nd priest are assigned to Heal Sub tank or Off Tank.
Sorceress - LOR depends where your raid leader assign you.( Either Melee or Range Group) DPS when the situation is not critical, Deluge when Everyone hp are below 70% Assist Heal*when prz busy*
Range DPS - Start your burst Damage After 10 seconds (for Main Tank to Build up Threat). Wizard are require to help AOE adds when Off Tank lures it.

^ every single Classes need to learn how to react upon AOEs, Adds. 
^ On circle Aoe, Move out of it (Fire Ring, Ice Ring,Poison Ring, Electric Field, Red Electric Field,Single Wave )
^ On Adds, Leave it to Tanks
^ On AOE like Gearbog, Driller, Pertus, Deluge it.

Ragnarok Online 2 Chef in general by Rawrbites

Before starting off, I personally think chef is one of the tougher job compare to the others... If you wan a simpler 1 I recommend alchemist/ blacksmith just picking stuff by the road side


Chef
-cook food (what else? nothing else)

there's only 2 kind of food you can cook
-buff food
-healing food
-processed materials (needed for higher level foods)

Healing foods
you should notice when you use this you will be sitting down and regen hp/sp a lot faster than usual.
