I am on iRO Chaos, but thanks to cleaning up drops left by bots, I have a bow that I think is going to do me juuust fine until level 33 when I can get an Arbalest. And even then, it'll have to be a slotted Arbalest that I can load full of drops cards, if I can find any merchants that carry them.
Do you have a merchant? I could stand to sell my level 1 n00b bow, I'll never get decent value for it from an NPC since it has cards as well.
I have a merchant, but I don't really use him for vending. I only have level 1 vending, and I get disconnected if I leave him vending for too long.
As for drops cards, I don't see them that often. They're probably pretty cheap though (under 10k I'm guessing). The bow I wanted to give you is a +7(I think) Ancient Double Boned Crossbow. It has a Mummy card (+20 to hit) and two Skel Worker cards (+15% damage to medium monsters). But yeah, do whichever you feel like. :p
I bought a +9 bow...free drops from botters are one thing, but I wouldn't want to risk a slotted bow on anything more than +7, especially if it already had cards in it.
I paid 20k for each of my drops cards, btw >< Good thing that there are free drops from following botters around, I seem to get screwed out of zeny on a regular basis.
20k? I have no idea. You shouldn't listen to me about prices, whenever I actually DO vend I always either vend too high or wayy too low. I sold a pet headgear for 100k when it was actually worth a couple mil. The market changes so much it's hard to keep up. With the OBB quest going on a lot of the headgears that used to be around 20mil have dropped atleast to half that. It's hard to find people to ask what the prices for things are, but I seem to have better luck asking people in Payon.
Problem is, in this new iRO, the only way to get around is to spend a couple k a shot on teleports. I base myself in Prontera now, and had to teleport to get there, because one map out from Payon in any direction is chock full of aggro Elder Willows that kicked my ass into outer space as a novice every time I tried to make the run to pr0ntera, and in my mid-teens as an archer, I got aggroed and killed trying to get through to Morroc.
(almost frighteningly enough, I remember the ways between Alberta, Morocc, Pr0ntera, and Geffen almost exactly, but with the new mobs, the only path I can make in one piece is between Pr0ntera and Geffen. Geffen's useless to me unless I want to become a mage, which I don't. I still haven't seen Morocc yet since I quit almost 2 years ago)
So, yeah. Checking prices in multiple cities can be an expensive proposition anyways. I'll try just flagging down a random merchant someplace. I'm sure I'll get screwed, but less screwed than I would via NPCs.
Easy way from Prontera to Payon. Go one two south of pront, then one to the east to "Poring Island". The only agro on that map is angeling I think, and that's a 30 minute spawn. You go south from that map, there are Peco Pecos there. They aren't agro, but if you fight one any other Peco on the screen will attack you. You go east from there to the Payon guild castle map where there are no monsters at all. Go east from there and you're in Payon. :p I hardly walk anywhere anymore because I have enough zeny for the kafras or my friends warp me. Or I warp myself with my battle priest.
Yeah, but the thing is, the paths I always *used* to take, which were safe then, are filled with aggressive Elder Willows, which urinates me off. Elders weren't even aggro 2 years ago.
I haven't even *tried* to make a Payon->Alberta warp. Might do it soon, though, at least you don't lose exp (or at least not an appreciable amount) when you die in RO
You lose 1% base and job exp when you die. The only time you don't lose exp is when you're a novice, or you're at 0%. When you're a low level it doesn't really bother you. But once you're higher and it takes you freakin forever to level it really sucks. My guild leader is level 97, he died 3 times the other day. That 3% he lost was atleast an hour of work. Hell, I freak out when I die, and my rogue is only level 79. I don't really mind dieing, it only bugs me when I'm really close to leveling.
Edler Willows became agro last year sometime, I think it was when Amatsu came. Amtasu also screwed up almost all the good maps. Monsters are all over the place and the places that used to be awesome for leveling (like geffen tower level 1 with all those poison spores) are now hell. Geffen level 1 has hunter flies along with the poison spores. Hunter flies are a bitch. Payon to Alberta isn't too hard, I don't think there are many agros on the way there. South two maps and then east until you hit Alberta.
If the Payon -> Alberta warp is too expensive, do Payon -> Izulde (follow the path Matt gave) then take the boat to Alberta which, if I remember well, costs only a couple hundred zeny.
Pront -> Morroc safe way should be (using Emperium.org's data): South, South, West, South, West, West, South
Considering how easy it is to get zeny these days (thanks, botters), I usually just teleport.
Is it still possible to transfer items/zeny between your own characters? I remember there was a way 2 years ago, but even if it hasn't changed, I don't remember how.
Items are transfered using the Storage that the Kafra gives you, and unless they put in zeny bills or a bank, you can't transfer zeny, you need to ask a friend to hold it while you switch chars.
RO was too addictive. I'm glad I stopped playing it.
Ah, well, items work, too.
