Anyone know where I can get a pair them purple sunglasses (the one that give's me +1 in defense)? I'd rather buy it from an NPC, though. I think merchants are overcharging...
Ragnamart says that they're sold somewhere in Morroc for 21,000. I think I may have seen them in the armor shop in the southeast and if that's true, you can probably get a 20% discount merchant to drop the price down to 16,800.

Leveling up very very slowly. Even orcs wont give me good xp after getting my arse handed to.
I recently found out why we're having trouble levelling: our armor SUCKS. I've met Swordies that saved up for a Full Plate and they were doing a lot better than I was. To get better DEF, I need Boots and a Full Plate, and you need Boots (+4), a Full Plate (+10), and a Manteau (+4). Unfortunately, I currently need so many red pots just to get any money from mobs that I'll already be a Knight before I can get any of that. At least we both have Helms. :(

It's not possible to learn bowlin Bash without learning the requrirements. You can always use your future knight skill points to learn swordie skills, but might have to sacrifice peco peco riding or spear skills.
Juan, I think your level is high enough for geffen 1. Msg me, I'll escort you with healing services til I think your fine. =P
Zepy, looks like your on way to your second class unless you decide to go to job level 50. Either way, If your having trouble with exp try Glast Hiem culverts. Alot of mages go there to finish their last few job levels. Mostly fire mages there though.
I'm wondering how Radish and Jazzie are doing. What level are you guys now?
Btw, I'm finally lv 73! woot!

But you can see it on the MidguardWorld map [Pr_Monk]
Pr_Monk is just a safe area east of the Yoyo/Choco Area in Prontera Field. It's a nice little monastery on a cliff with lots of benches and flowers. You'll probably be able to become a Monk there once Monks are implemented, just like the bare bones of the Alchemist and Sorcerer classes are set up already in Al De Baran, but there's currently nothing that you can do there.

Yeah, but it's not like it's a useless skill tree. PecoPeco Riding is a big decision because it has an entirely useless skill tree (Provoke5/Endure1/PecoPeco1/Cavalier5). Bowling Bash, on the other hand, is made up of 2-Handed Sword Mastery (essential), Bash (somewhat useful, except for the last five levels), Magnum Break (okay, mostly useless), 2-Hand Quicken (essential), and Counter Attack (essential). That means there's only eight wasted skill points (5 from Bash 6-10, 3 from Magnum Break) from Bowling Bash's requirements unless you're going for a One-Handed Knight or a Spear Knight. And if you're going for either of those, then I have to ask... WHY? One-Handed Knights are useless because they're supposed to be Crusaders and Spear Knights are just plain weak right now.
And yeah, Juan should be in Geffen 1, provided he has some healing (either Haku or red pots). I was there at that level and even though it was tough, the XP was good. And Juan has the exact same armor that I did at that level (and still do, unfortunately).

Alright, as long as it's question and answer time, I have a couple that I've been wondering about. Any help would be appreciated.
First off is elemental weapons. I have a Mystic Frozen and have been thinking about using it, but the FAQs and fansites are all over the place when it comes to these things. First off, how do they work? Some sites/FAQs say that they do 100% damage to everything and then extra damage to monsters of the susceptible element, but others say that they do varying amounts of damage to different monsters, often with a much longer list of what receives 25%, 0%, or even -25% (healing) damage from your attacks than the list of what monsters you inflict bonus damage upon. What system does the game currently work on and is it expected to be rebalanced to another system in the future? And if the current system is the "100% plus possible bonus damage" system that I've heard about, is a Mystic Frozen good, or is there some other element that is overpowered right now that I should trade it in for? And besides that, can I get the Mystic Frozen applied to a Bastard Sword? The only elemental weapons I've ever seen for sale are underpowered Katanas and Maces, and I can't figure out why.
The second one is to the acolytes and it's really just a curiosity question. Are you guys getting tons of Munak Hats, Old Portraits, and other cool undead items while you level up in Payon Cave? It seems like an experienced Acolyte can level really fast in Payon cave with anti-Undead spells, but I wondered about whether the same goes for items and zeny. I really like the undead monsters in RO and would like to spend some time fighting them and getting their items, but that seems a LONG way off with my Swordman and since Crusaders aren't in the game yet, I thought about making an acolyte as a second character.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

You must have found that mystic frozen in bib island when i saw you there (^_~) This is how it works. You need to find certain items to forge a weapon. Only Blacksmiths can forge them. The NPCs can't.The reason you see alot elemental lv 1 weapons are because the items alot easier (and cheaper) to get.You can find the list of forgeables here. http://www.dreamwater.net/art/poochie/Forging.html In the current version of RO, most water/ice type takes 200% dmg if you have a lv 1 wind elemental weapon. So wind katanas are popular and pricey. Earth is the weakest right now since all the monsters weak to it are mostly flying type. Very few are weak to earth. Usually after lv-ing in bib island with a wind katana because very slow, most switch to a higher lv fire weapon. It's only 175% dmg, but that's a nice bonus against the harder monsters in the game, Undead types.
From my aco experince, I can't really say I found anything worth wild. Heal killing isn't really that effective as an aco. When I tried to do it, I would waste all my sp on one monster, then regen for like 10 mins. I don't really recommend on heal killing for exp until near max int.I was super poor as an aco. Most party members would hog most of the loot. Not all though, but I didn't complain. It was hard to find a good party and exp is exp. This is probably different now with so many ppl playing RO now. I sold warps for a while for money. Got a sloted Saint's Robe and Swordmace and save the rest of my money for cards. I don't sell warps anymore since I make a lot more money trying to lv up.

Ice/Water is the worst element, because there are less fire-based enemies in comparison to the other. Earth elements are probably the more frequent ones, so Fire element is probably the best, because it also does some extra damage to undead.
And now, some Mage questions to the other Mages (specially Zepy)
a) Do you have, or plan to have Soul Strike? If so, What places are good to level up with it (Being SS good against undead)?
b) At which level did you put Recover SP? Is it worth to level it up to lv10? I suppose it is, bu I want to be sure.

If anyone wants to get into forging weapons. I can give a few tips. For making a wind weapon at least. Let's say I want to make a wind katana. I need 1 rough wind, 35 irons, and 15 Horrendus Mouths. To get a rough wind, I need a blacksmith to refine 10 wind of verdures. I get WoV (wind of verdures) I have to hunt the monsters that drop them. They are dropped by Goblin, Horn, Hornet, Mandragora, Mantis, Muka, Regler, Stainer, Steel ChonChon, Vitata and Wormtail. I would suggest hunting Hornets 2 maps west of prontera or hunt Steel ChonChon 2 maps south of Morroc. I found 6 WoV in one long day at the hornet field. Next I need 35 irons. The item you want to hunt is Iron Ores. I beieve the best place to get them is Prontera Culverts. 1 Iron Ore = Iron. You will need to a Blacksmith to refine them also. If you want to find pure iron and not iron ores, hunt Horns 1 map north, 1 maps west of Prontera I think. I'm not too sure where you can find lots of horns. Next on the list is Horrendus Mouths. Zombies and Ghouls drop them. You can find Ghouls on the first lv of Payon caves. You can find Ghouls in the Morroc Pyramids in the basement floors and floor 4. They can be also found in Glast Hiem. Ghouls drop them almost everytime. If anyone need Mouths, just ask me. I can easily kill them at Glast Hiem. When you aquire all these items, the best place to go to is geffen. These is a small open area where most Blacksmith hang out and Forge. The blacksmith guild npcs are also in geffen so that might be a reason why they gather here. Look for a public chat of the likes "Forging 1hd, 2hd, maces, etc.," 1hd refers to 1 hand swords. 2hd refers to 2 hand swords which is what we're looking for. Usually each Blacksmith have their own prices that vary depending on the weapon your trying to forge and if it the forging is sucessful. Some of the more famous Blacksmiths out there are .hack and Riffty. Riffty is a bit expensive from what I heard but you can always ask these guys for thier prices. Anyone aiming for a higher lv weapon is probably wondering where to get steel. The best place to get them is in the Coal mines, 2nd floor. Coal mines is located 2 maps, 1 map east of Geffen. The entrance is located on the top left corner of the map. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

I haven't actually played mages before but I'm partied with plenty of mages.
1.I heard it's hard to level without SS. SS is good because of no casting time and the abilty to be combp after a elemental spell for more dmg in one shot. You will need the no casting time to get rid of the annoying bats or skeleton archers that will hit you preventing your elemental spells being casted. I have heard it's not needed to max it. Lv 8 or 9 SS is enough perhaps?
2.Recover SP is not really important IMO. But the higher you have it, the faster you level up. My priest has lv 4 sp recover. Most other priest has done the same as me. It wasn't important to max it since by the time I turn priest, I regen plenty of sp naturally. Most Wizs I partied with have maxed it. I have met a few wiz that have stoped at lv 6 or 8 and was able to use those vaulable skill points else where.
I hope that helped. Keep in mind I haven't played mages/wiz before.

So, given the opinions here, I'll probably get both SS and SP Recovery to lv 10... SS at lv10 is 1/2 sec cast time + 5 hard hits that harm undead, so it's very good. I was pretty sure about SS, but it consumes SP like a sponge, soo...
...Recover SP is really needed. I already have SS lv7 and Recover SP at lv5, and I run out of SP very quickly, so i'll max those two before anything else.
I'll have to reach job level 50, as painfull as it sounds...
One note about SS: it's useful until about Lv 60. After a certain point, you won't be using SS too much since it doesn't have a natural element to it (fire, wind, etc). The stronger enemies- like those in Glastheim, have too much HP to be killed without an element.

Well, it doesn't have an element attached, but it's effective against undead. What I ignore is if there are undead enemies in Glastheim.
Also, as mentioned in another post, the elemental spell + SS combo (against non-aggressive, non-magic sense monsters) is quite good.

That's just theory at work. It doesn't work out in practice.
Speaking of elemental weapons, if I wanted, say, a Fire Swordmace, what kinds of hoops would I have to go through to get it? (granted I'm one of those people that are hoping to get a Bible somewhere down the line, but I'm getting real annoyed with my Swordmace and the minimum damage I'm doing to Smokies).
Oh yeah, what Cards should I be looking out for?
Fire Swordmace would be really hard to get. Elemental level 3 weapons have low sucess rate and are expensive to make. I would aim for the strongest level 1 or 2 weapon, the chain. Level 2 weapon sucess rate are somewhat low also. A good BS would have 30-40% chance to forging a level 3 weapon I assume. 50-60% for level 2 weapon and 70-90% for a level 1 weapon. Well anyways, you need 20 sharp scales which is a drop from swordfish from bib island lv4 and 5. I doubt anyone can hunt there until lv 50-ish. 100 steels is also needed (o_o;;) That is gonna be tuff to get. Once again they are found in Coal mines 2 maps north, 1 map east from geffen. Now for the item for fire elemental, you will need 1 flame heart. To refine a flame heart you will need 10 red bloods which is dropped by Elder Willow, Kobold, Metaller, Red Mushroom and Scorpion. I recomend hunting Metaller which is 3 maps north of prontera. Near the Agropies field.
A cheaper way to improve your weapon is to just upgrade them at a blacksmith shop. For level 1 weapons, it cost 100z per pharcon to add a +1, 50z fee to apply it to your weapon. Level 2 weapons need Evmertercon (spelling?) which can be bought there for 1000z, 200z fee to apply. For Level 3 weapons, you need to find or buy the item to upgrade it else where which is oridicon. I'm not sure what drops it. Most people find rough oridicons. 5 rough oridicons = 1 pure oridicon. Why so much trouble for oridicons? They add more dmg per +1 then the others.
This was posted on Ro-world.com forums. Not sure who was the orignal source. I'll copy and paste it.

Thanks for the forging information, Kyo. It looks like it's a bit too advanced and pricey for my current level and amount of zeny, but it will probably help in the future. For now I guess I'm stuck with my +6 Double Vital Bastard Sword, even though it's sort of mediocre. I'm actually surprised that I had to stop getting newer and better weapons so fast, but between the pricey elemental weapons, the Broadsword that amounts to little more than a pricey trade-off between offense and defense, and the pricey and limited Claymore, I guess the upgraded, slotted Bastard Sword really is the best out there for my level. I'll probably go for a Fire Katana after I'm done saving up for a Full Plate, though.
As for the times that I'm playing, I'm mostly playing after 11PM EST (-5:00 GMT) almost every day, but I haven't been playing a whole lot lately. As far as I can see, I'm totally stuck. Nothing gives good XP, regardless of whether I can kill it effortlessly or need five red pots to kill it. Byalan doesn't give much XP, but doesn't do much damage, the Orc Village gives slightly more XP, but does a lot more damage, and the Orc Dungeon gives the sort of XP that I'm used to, but I can very quickly get swarmed and die in there. As far as I can see, the only way I'm getting to Knight is to just sit down and yawn my way through five or six straight hours of slow, effortless levelling in Byalan. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? All of the equipment I have right now is the best I can get, with the highest DEF in the game (Boots, Helm, Manteau) and the best non-elemental weapon my class can use (+6 Double Vital Bastard Sword), with the exception of the armor (+4 Wooden Mail) because I'm saving for a Full Plate. The only things I can think of are that either rosaries are a bigger deal for Swordies that I thought or that I'm supposed to have a Fire Katana by now, even though that doesn't look like it would add too much more damage, since the difference between a Fire Katana and a +6 Bastard Sword vs. a susceptible enemy is only like 25-30 damage.
Oh, and one last note. It looks like we've sent everyone to Geffen Dungeon now, but I've become a little wary of that place. When I compared my levelling in Geffen to my levelling in Byalan 2, I found that I got twice as much base XP in Geffen than in Byalan, but also 1/3 job XP. Geffen's still a great place for levelling, but just be aware that that might happen to you, especially if you're levelling a Swordie.

I was gonna recommend geffen. =P looks like you beat me to it. I know those last few job levels can be tough. I did geffen 1 with haku from lv 35 to priest hood. My last job level literritly took most of the day to gain. I was around level 52 when I change class. Did anyone else get to second class besides Zepy?
Btw, DarkZero. I think your right about the difference with a fire kat. Might be a little less. I think fire is only 75% extra dmg on the right enemy, not double dmg like wind is. Buying a Claymore would be cheaper and more effective (dmg wise). I think you will be able to hunt Steel soon. Perhaps a Fire Slayer or Fire Bastard would be better for your character? Well, that's just my opinon at least...

What's a good skill and stat development path for a support Acolyte/Priest? Focus on maxing INT first?
Well for stat development, max int first. SP recovery just won't favor you til you become a priest. After maxing int, you can either decide to do agi, vit,luk, or dex. If you decided to do vit, It would help greatly to do a little vit early as a novice. Perhaps 15-20 would help a lot through novice stage. For dex, there is really no reason to go over 30-ish dex if not a ME priest. I highly recommend going int/vit. IMO, agi isn't so hot. Don't expect to dodge anything besides reydrics at GH.
For skills, I would recommend at least;
lv 10 heal
lv 5 divine protection (just to get blessing)
lv 10 blessing (important for sp recovery later on)
For the rest, you can decide on either lv 10 agi up, or lv 5 agi up + warp/pneuma. When you turn priest, you might wanna finish getting those acolyte skills and end up with lv 10 agi, lv 4 warp, and pneuma. For priest skills, aim your build around a high level Kyrie Elesion and Gloria. I would say Lv 3 Gloria and lv 10 KE. As for SP regening skills, magnificant lv 3-5 and sp recovery lv 4. You can go over sp recovery lv 4, but I would rather max support skills first.

Solo geffen 1? o_o;;; The mobs can get out of control there. IMO, it's best to party up with even share on and give the spore mobs and eye for an eye. But if you really need to solo, byblan island lv 2. The exp is like geffen 1 but all monster except hydras are non agressive.
Geffen 1 is Culvert-ish for me, I kind of like the chaos going around down there. I'm a little wary of going into Izlude because people keep unleashing Dead Branches every time I go through either Prontera or Izlude (also I've not been to Byblan since my base was around the early 30s... oh well, I suppose it's time to bum off Hydras for the dye component, I've already got everything else to make dye even if I'm not planning on using it). I may give Byblan 2 a shot, though, but I seriously doubt I'm going to enjoy the same sort of 'rush' out of it (I'm not worrying about Hydras, really, because I've got Pneuma for that. The last time I was at that dungeon I was kind of bored).
Just a little while ago a Novice came and tried to KS my Poison Spores, so I stopped attacking and let the Poison Spores deal with it. It was kind of funny, in a sick sort of way, I suppose, watching the Novice keel over in one shot.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I also provide nothing useful to the gaming community.
