===============================================================================
Forging Merchants
===============================================================================
Firstly, I want to say that using a forging merchant(forgesmith) as your
initial job might be a very bad idea, as this kind of merchant requires lots
of zenny and lots of Healing items. This kind of Merchant requires lots of
patience and determination since this kind of merchant is a weak merchant and
it will take you a very long time before it will become a Blacksmith.
This guide is aimed at those aspiring players who want to become a forging
blacksmith.
===============================================================================
Pros and Cons
===============================================================================
Pros
- Has a higher Forging Success Rate than other Blacksmith build.
- Has a higher chance to Critical.
- Most likely never miss since you have a high DEX.
Cons
- You are weaker than Battlesmiths and other job classes.
- Uses lots of red potions like all Perma-novice.
- Really needs lots of zenny.
- Usually have the lowest HP than the other job class in RO.
(Exception to Mage and Novice)
- Usually recieve a lot of damage due to that you have low vitality.
- Slow Slow Slow...Seriously! You're slow in terms of attacking.
- Very Hard to Level up.(If you plan on using pure DEX and LUK Build)
- Has the lowest Flee.
- Has no Weapon Mastery.
- Very few offensive skills.
As you can see there more cons than pros on a forging Merchant/Blacksmiths
so it is only for those that can endure to level up a weak merchant.
If you can level this weak Merchant as your initial class, I bet you
will become a respected RO player if you're able to change this into a
Blacksmith.
===============================================================================

This section I will show you the various builds of a forging merchant/
blacksmith which you can choose to use in your merchant/blacksmith.

===============================================================================
Leveling as a novice
===============================================================================
*IMPORTANT NOTE#1:* Pick up everything that the monster drop or an item that is
lying around and that nobody wants it. You can sell that later for zenny.
Make sure that you don't sell jellopy to the shop since there is an NPC in
alberta than will exhange your jellopy for red potions or sweet potatoes.
*IMPORTANT NOTE#2:* Avoid killing willows. They give less exp though
they rarely drop trunk which can be sold for 1k-2k(PRo Price) to other players.
It's useless to fight willows instead kill Roda Frogs which give more exp..
I assume that you already start at Alberta(merchant's town) so what to do is
go out and kill porings or lunatic. Preferably you start killing lunatics
since they drop "the basic sword" once in a while so you'll be saving yourself
some zenny if you happen to get a sword from monster. Do this until you reach
base level 6-7 then start killing roda frogs. Then once you reach base level
9-12 and I assume that you already got to job level 10 and have at least
1,500z then its time to go to the merchant guild which is located in alberta
on the lowest left part of town. Once you're there make sure to pay in full
to the NPC which will cost you 1000z. After that he'll give you instruction
on what to do before you become a merchant. Make sure you get the location
of the NPC, the serial number. Make sure you get the box that you will deliver
to the other NPC which is also located inside the merchant guild.
If the location of the NPC is in Geffen, You're in luck just take a ferry
to Izlude which will cost 500z. Now you're Izlude go out and go to prontera
which is just 1 map away from izlude. Make sure you don't save to the kafra
in izlude, prontera, or geffen I will explain it later. Once there exit via
the left gate. Then go 2 map to the left, 1 map up, and 2 maps to the left.
There you're in Geffen. The NPC is located inside the mage guild. The NPC
here is a male staff. After he gives you the reciept, go out and die. You'll
immediately return to alberta. Then go back to the merchant guild and give
the reciept to the NPC. Then talk to the other NPC and he will change you
into a merchant.
If the location of the NPC is in Prontera, Take a ferry to Izlude which will
cost 500z. Now you're in Izlude, go out and go to prontera. Go to the NPC
which is located near the former swordsman guild where it is located just
south east corner. The NPC here is a kafra. After he gives you the reciept,
go out and die. You'll immediately return to alberta. Then go back to the
merchant guild and give the reciept to the NPC. Then talk to the other NPC
and he will change you into a merchant.
If the location of the NPC is in Morroc, You can either walk all the way to
Morroc which is very far if you plan to walk or just take a ferry to Izlude.
If you choose to ferry to Izlude, make sure you go to prontera where there are
acolyte/priest that offer warps to towns. Look for tha one that offer warp to
morroc. Once you found it, just sit and wait for that acolyte to warp someone
to morroc then "tag along" on the warp it will save you money this way.^_^
Once there in Morroc. Go to the NPC which is located in the PVP House. The
NPC here is the dyemaker Java Dullahin. After he gives you the reciept, go
out and die. You'll immediately return to alberta. Then go back to the
merchant guild and give the reciept to the NPC. Then talk to the other NPC
and he will change you into a merchant.
If the location of the NPC is in Byalan island, You can take a ferry to izlude.
From there you can ferry to byalan island which will cost you 150z. If you
don't have anymore zenny try to sell Phracon which you can get from an enemy
called Pupa that sells for 100z in shops or sell it to other players. Once
there, the NPC you're looking for is actually that Kafra staff in the island so
talk to her to get the reciept. After that go to the dungeon to die. You'll
immediately return to alberta. Then go back to the merchant guild and give the
reciept to the NPC. Then talk to the other NPC and he will change you into
a merchant.
===============================================================================
Job Change to a Blacksmith
===============================================================================
When you are ready to become a blacksmith just head to the Geffen Blacksmiths.
They can be found in Geffen(DUH!) and inside a building. Once inside the Geffen
Blacksmiths building, talk to a NPC there that will give you directions on
how to become a blacksmith. I think he will direct you to go to Alberta, from
there find a NPC that will give you a little quiz. Once you passed the short
quiz the NPC will instruct you to gather materials and will give you another
NPC to which you will give the gathered materials to. After the delivery, go
back to the NPC in Alberta who give you a short quiz. You must obtain an item
called "Reciept" from this NPC. After you obtained the reciept, go back to the
Geffen Blacksmiths. Once you get back to the Geffen Blacksmiths, talk to the
NPC and he will give to directions for another NPC that you should talk to. I
think she's in Morroc. In Morroc, Talk to her and answer her short quiz about
merchants or blacksmiths. If passed her quiz, she will give you "Hammer of
Blacksmith" which you will present to the Geffen Blacksmiths in order for you
to become a Blacksmith. After you become a Blacksmith, the Geffen Blacksmiths
will give you some gifts as proof(maybe?) that you are now officially a
Blacksmith.
===============================================================================
Leveling as a Merchant\Blacksmith
===============================================================================
I'll divide this into three since I don't know if you're gonna be tanked or not
or you're in a party. So here it is.
For merchants without tanks and with lots of healing items.
---------------
Levels 12 to 20
---------------
Now that you are a merchant start your first job level by killing roda frog
and willows near alberta town until you reach base level 14. Now that you are
on base level 14, Start to yourself to equip either a Ring Pommel Saber+6 or
Chain+6 or Stilleto+6. Then start killing Spores which is still near alberta
until you reach base level 20. Spores are actually good for gathering money
since there are lot of spores in that map. If you don't want to level up on
alberta, morroc is also a nice place to level up just fight condors in the
desert until you reach base level 20.
---------------
Levels 20 to 30
---------------
On these levels you have many places which are great for leveling. You could go
to Culvert dungeon or go to ambernite map which is near geffen or fight snakes
or pecopecos in the desert. Culvert dungeon is great since there are plenty of
Thief bugs to go around and they have good drops too. Ambernite map is also
great since there are also plenty of ambernites and there are only a few player
roam on this map and they have also good drops. Try to get as many Blue herbs
in these map since blue herbs will be useful for you when you need to use your
SP for skills(Envenom, Hide, Magnum break, Bash, Mammonite) or sell them for
zenny. Pecopeco and Snake map also great place to level up since both snakes
and pecopecos have good drops and give decent EXP. You could also level up on
Horn map which is just right of Ambernite map just bring lots of potions since
horns ALWAYS hit you so its always a good idea to bring lots of potions. Horns
are have great exp but drops might not be good since you'll be burning lots of
potions. You could also try mandragora/eclipse map near prontera. Though not a
great place to level up on your high level 20s but mandragoras DO drop 4-leaf
clover which sell for about 1 million(pRO-loki) price. You could also try Payon
lvl 1 for zombies and familiar though not much good since drops are not that
good.
---------------
Levels 30 to 40
---------------
On these levels you have few monsters that will give you nice exp. You can
fight martin and smokies in payon lvl2 since they give nice exp and they also
have good drops. By these levels I assume that you've already equipped yourself
with either a Tsurugi+5 or Swordmace+5 or Damascus+5 or Two-Handed Axe+5 so
that leveling on monsters will not be that hard. You can also try leveling
on elder willows since they also great for leveling in you mid 30s and they
have also good drops. You can also try wormtail map near payon. They also
give great exp in your early 30s and the map don't have much players roaming
so I think you'll have the place for yourself. You can OCCASSIONALLY fight
eggryas in your mid 30s since eggrya are good for leveling your job levels
so try to use attack skill on eggrya since eggrya have high DEF.
---------------
Levels 40 to 50
---------------
On these levels you will have a few places where you can level up. You can go
level up on Payon dungeon lvl2 on martins, eggryas, magnolias, smokies or
stay on elder forest or level up on byalan dungeon lvl2 on thara frogs and
marinas and vadons or savage map until you reach mid 40s. Then you can fight
scorpions on golem map or zerom and drainliar and anacondaq on sphinx lvl1.
Sphinx lvl1 gives great exp and spawn rate is low so you won't get mob often
Just make sure you get a damage reduction card for zeroms. drainliar are also
for good exp though much harder to hit. Scorpions are also great for exp
though drops are not that good since scorpions rare drop is only rusty iron
(taming item for steel chonchon). Savage are also great for exp though drops
are bad.
---------------
Levels 50 to 60
---------------
Be prepared for these levels since there are NO places that have great exp and
good drops except orc dungeon but I think you would no like it here since the
dungeon has high spawn that you could easily be mobbed. Just avoid being
mobbed. You could also stay on golem map until you reach your mid 50s killing
scorpions and metaller. Metallers aren't that great though they rarely drop
Singing Plant(used for phantom of the opera or exchange for singing flower
which is the taming item for rocker). You could now kill as much eggryas as
you like since damage from eggrya at this level is minimal so they will be
great for job leveling. You could also bigfoots and dokebis which are also
great for leveling or reqiuem in sphinx lvl1.
---------------
Levels 60 to 70
---------------
On these levels I think there are no more places where it is great for you to
level up but you could try payon dungeon lvl4 on soldier skels and sohees
or on coal mine lvl2 and lvl3 on skel workers and drainliars and myst or
on geffen dungeon lvl2 if you have a fire/wind element weapon or sphinx lvl2
on matyrs and whispers and drainliars or on byalan lvl3 and 4 for cornutus
and obeaunes and marses. Expect at this level that monster don't give great
exp nor drops.
---------------
Levels 70 to 80
---------------
On these levels expect that you'll be leveling on aggressive dungeons where
there spawn rate is high since thats the only way you can get yourself to
level up fast. If you feel you can take on minorous on pyramid basement lvl1
then go there otherwise just level on places where you think you can level up.
You can try comodo map if you're feeling lucky or hidden temple if you can
take on hunter flies and sidewinders.
----------------
Levels 80 to 100
----------------
On these levels expect that there is NO great place for leveling since all
high level monster will give you only a bit of exp.
For merchants with tanks or is being leech.
----------------
Levels 12 to 100
----------------
Well just ask them to level where they feel most comfortable to level up.
Just avoid leveling in aggressive or mobber maps if you are being tanked.
For merchants with a party and with lots of Healing items.
(Depends on the levels of your party members, jobs class, weapons and armors
on what enemies you're gonna fight. This is just a rough estimate on what
enemies your party can fight.)
---------------
Levels 12 to 20
---------------
On these levels, expect great exp and drops from monsters. Fight every low
level monster you see until you get to lvl 15 and up the start taking on
pecopecos, boas, zombies, thief bugs, and female thief bugs. you could also
try to fight stainers, wolves, poporings, and ambernites. Try to your non-
melee party members to fight greatest generals on payon field. since
greatest general does'nt move they will be the only monsters the will give
your party huge exp at these levels.
---------------
Levels 20 to 30
---------------
On these levels, expect that you will still get great exp and drops. Fight
poporings, pecopecos, boas, wolves, martins, horns, stainers, and elder
willows. You could also try going on payon dungeon lvl2 or stay on culvert
lvl 2 and 3 or mandragora map or elder willow forest.
---------------
Levels 30 to 40
---------------
On these levels, expect that you will still get great exp and drops. Fight
smokies, elder willows, martins, horns, poison spores, dustiness, green
thief bugs, thara frogs, marinas, orc warriors, cornutus, drainliars,
eggryas, wormtails. You could try leveling on payon dungeon lvl2 or stay on
elder willow forest or on wormtail map near payon or sphinx lvl1. If you
think you can survive on geffen dungeon lvl1 then go there and level up
since they have better drops and exp. You could also try munaks and bonguns
and obeaunes provided that your party have at least one acolyte for healing.
---------------
Levels 40 to 50
---------------
On these levels, expect that exp will slow down now since enemies are harder
to kill and doesn't give as much exp. You can still level up on elder willows,
smokies, eggryas(w/ an elemental weapon), munaks, bonguns, magnolias, zeroms,
scorpions, savage, and metallers. If your party can take on golems at golem
map then go there since exp there is great and not much people are roaming
on that map.
---------------
Levels 50 to 60
---------------
On these levels, expect that your party will really need an acolyte/priest
since exp on these levels are hard to earn. Also expect that you will be
fighting on enemies with at least 3k of hp. Still try to fight what your party
are fighting on their mid level 40s. You could also try to fight marduks,
reqiuems, matyrs, mummies, whispers,sohees, soldier skeletons, skel workers,
mysts, skeleton archers, bigfoots, sasquatchs, sandmen and golems. You can
still try to level up on eggryas for job exp.
---------------
Levels 60 to 70
---------------
I think on these levels, start to split your party into two. Let you non-melee
party members like mages/wizards and archers/hunters to level up on ghast heim
or pyramid lvl2 and 3 and melee party members like thieves/asassins, swordsmen
/knights, and merchants/blacksmiths on payon lvl 3 and 4 or on argiope map or
sphinx lvl2 and 3. Acolytes/priest are semi non-melee characters so its your
choice if you want them to level up on ghast heim or have them level up where
your melee players are leveling. Expect that exp on these levels are already
slow.
---------------
Levels 70 to 80
---------------
Do the same as you did on you level 60s split your party on level since exp is
really slow at these levels. You could try to fight boss monsters if you wish
for a huge boost of exp. Try to fight a golden thief bug or an eddga or a
moonlight since I think they are the easiest boss monster in the game.
You could still try to level up on sphinx lvls 2, 3, 4, and 5 or pyramid lvls 2,
3, 4 or byalan lvls 3 and 4.
----------------
Levels 80 to 100
----------------
Anywhere... why? I think at these level there are no more monsters that will
give your party a high exp so take on any monsters that your party like. Still
boss monsters are your best bet for huge exp.

Recommended Equipments
===============================================================================
This are the equipments that most likely will give you an advantage. Note that
most of the equipments are over the safe zone in refining armors and weapons
there's are reason for this since the forgesmith is not your first character,
then you mostly likely have equipments that or overplussed and very strong
weapons so thats why there are overplussed. For players that made a forgesmith
as their first character then I would suggest the you only refine armors and
weapons to their safe levels since you won't have much money to buy lots of it
and Refining ores to plus them.

Forging Equipments : Anvils and Hammers
===============================================================================
This section will give you an insight of the various Anvils and Hammers that
you'll need in order to create weapons.
*Important Note:*
All anvils and hammers can only be bought from the Geffen Blacksmith shop.
Discount skill does not work when buying anvils and hammers. Only "Hammer of
Blacksmith" cannot be bought from any shop of Rune Midgard even from the
Geffen Blacksmiths.
*Important Note:*
*Important Note#2:*
Forging success of anvils are just guess by me using the forge calculator,
Since the forge calculator is old and there isn't any new one out there.
*Important Note#2:*

Pets
==============================================================================
I've included a pet section since pets tend to help their owners in a fight.
Since the pet skills are not yet enabled in pRO I've included this for the
other versions of RO. I will also include the taming item for the pet.
------------------
Sohee

to obtain a pet like this.

Rocker

great anymore.
------------------
Deviruchi

in and out of a battle.
------------------
Earth Petite

monster though it may succumb in other monster that are not weak from
from earth element attacks.
------------------
Lunatic
------------------

Taming Item: Rainbow Carrot

------------------
Poring

that have been dropped by the monster.

monsters.

Isis

Baphomet Jr.

undead/dark/shadow property monsters.

-----------------
Orc Warrior
-----------------
Skill: Attack with a neutral based attack(Ignores defense)

They are actually the most useful pet when fighting with high def
monsters like MVPs, eggryas, golems, etc.
-----------------
Dokkaebi
-----------------
Skill: Cast Hammer Fall(level unknown)
Taming Item: Old Broom

Skill: Attack with a wind based attack
Taming Item: Monster Juice
Comment: This pet will kick ass on Byalan dungeon though on Ant Hell dungeon
his attack will succumb.
==============================================================================
Juice Quest
==============================================================================
Get a piece of meat either buying at a Meat Shop or from enemies.
Go to the PVP Room which is located just right of the building where you can
refine your weapons and armors in Prontera and climb up to the second floor.
Talk to the woman and then her son. Talk to the mother first before you talk
to her son. Show him the meat but don't give it. Then talk to the mother
again. Now, you can create juices in Payon PVP room. You'll need an Empty
Bottle and the corresponding fruit for each juice. Here is the list on how
to make your own juice.
------------------------------------------------------
Juice | Required Items
Apple Juice | 1 Apple, 1 Empty Bottle, 3z
Carrot Juice | 1 Carrot, 1 Empty Bottle, 3z
Banana Juice | 1 Banana, 1 Empty Bottle, 3z
Grape Juice | 1 Grape, 1 Empty Bottle, 3z
==============================================================================
Team up!
==============================================================================
Swordsman/Knights - The best meat shield. They can dish out powerful blows as
well as taking most damage. They also have Hp recovery so they don't rely
mostly on pots or herbs. I recommend that you party with one .
Thieves/Assasin - The second best meat shield. They can deal successive blows
and evade most hits. Make sure you help like carrying or providing pots so
he/she can recover precious HP since they don't have Hp recovery of swordsman.
Most Thieves you might encounter are AGI based so get one or two of them.
Assasins are mostly AGI/LUK types.
Mages/Wizards - Team up with these guys if there are two or more in your
party that are melee fighter. Mages/wizards are great since they dish out
insane damage to the correct monster and have the best anti-mob skills. Team
up with one since they're I think the best support fighters. They can also
heal your party if he/she have a heal clip/belt/etc. Mages/Wizards have
only one build that makes them so powerful ally to get. Most Mages/Wizards
loves the company of melee guys so I think get only one.
Archers/Hunters - Same as those of mages. same power, same weakness. second
best support fighters. Archers/Hunter are the same as mages except the huge
sp. They also love the company of melee guys and their builds are usually
AGI/DEX or DEX/LUK types.
Acolytes/Priests - They can either be the third best or the best in meat
shield or in support. If you find a support Acolyte/Priest take him/her
with you and forget Teaming up with other since you'll never need pots
since the have heal on their side plus load of other support spells but
if you happen to find a non-support type, same as the support ones but will
heal you less but they have better stats that are suited for melee fights.
Merchants/Blacksmiths - Teaming up with your kind? I would preferably choose
the ones that build for the kill and not those the same as you since those
Merchants/Blacksmith are those that can also take most damage and deal also
powerful blows. Merchants/Blacksmiths also have support abilities plus they
have the most powerful skill. I recommend teaming up with either a STR/VIT
type, a STR/AGI type or the hybrid types.
==============================================================================
Hints and Tips
==============================================================================
1. Forge only when you are at higher levels. At around 60 and up would be
great but a think you should be at 70.
2. Leech or Tank. This one I would suggest if you could get someone to tank
or leech you for free or if you are freakin' rich get a full party and pay
them to leech you for maybe for 1 hour or a day or until you get to your
desired level.
3. Get a Party. I believe this on don't need explanation.
4. Get the most powerful weapons and defense wise armors with +s. Why? With
little or no vit at all, defense will be your only last line for damage
reduction and powerful weapons so you could easily finish off monsters.
5. Get the best cards zenny can buy. Specially the ones for forging.
6. Every Point on either DEX or LUK is 0.1% added to your success rate to make
weapons. Do I need to explain this?
7. Have a priest with you in case you are forging. Priest have skills that
increases DEX and LUK so its always handy to have one.
8. Every job level up is a 0.3%-0.5% added to your success rate.
