Introduction ------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ The following information found in this guide is mostly based on my experience in playing in pRO (Philippines) version of Ragnarok Online, playing in private servers (ya, I know it's illegal and all...) and reading other FAQs/guides on gamefaqs and some of my theories & observations. This guide is accurate in stats build but not in the skill builds due to the changes that may occur in the not so near future. My goal is to provide you some ideas on skill builds and stats build for the different 2-2 jobs. __________________________________________________________________________ - III. Ragnarok Online --------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ Ragnarok Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game made by Gravity and was inspired by Lee-Myoungin's Manhwa "Ragnarok". The game is highly addictive due to its many factors (too many to mention) and lets you interact with many other players in your country or all over the world. People would say, "Once you come in... You'll never get out" Well that's how addictive RO is. (For us gamers) __________________________________________________________________________ - IV. Rogues: PvP Master ------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ "The night's fallen angel..." The iRO Intro: Enhancing his/her skills learned from the days as a neighborhood ruffian, everybody avoids his/her eyes. Living in dullness, he/she decides to join the adventurers gathered by King Tristan III, thinking maybe the skills would work on monsters as well. As a ruffian would be, he/she can take off an opponent's armor and take the weapon before the opponent even has the chance to notice, and is excellent with a dagger. Also, while attacking, he/she is able use various other skills automatically. When the opponent is strong, he/she becomes sneaky. When the opponent is weak, he/she becomes peculiarly strong and has many other strange characteristics. Others cannot understand and some watch with fright, but in reality, if he/she gets mad, nothing in sight can be considered safe. My Intro: Rogues, somebody mischievous, acting independently and using unorthodox methods that often cause trouble. Yaw! that really describes a Rogue! Rogues are all about Inflicting massive damages on his/her enemy. It's a combination of a Hunter and a Knight with a twist of a little thief skills. They can use traps and inflict damages more than a knight can and stealing of a thief. What I love about them is their Backstab skill and Plagiarism. Why? because with a skid trap (enemy will face where the trap is facing) you can easily inflict up to 700% of your damage with the skill. Plagiarism in the other hand can copy the opponent's last used skill. They will be one of the "Must Haves" in GvG. __________________________________________________________________________ - V. Stats essential for Thief ------------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________________ This part shows the different stats in Ragnarok. There are 6 stats that affect the Thief in big ways. Be careful in fixing your stats since once you put them they are already unchangeable. Strength (STR) ============================================================ One of the most important stat for the Thief since it affects how much damage you can dish out. It affects your minimum and maximum damage too. It also affects your weight capacity so you can carry all that equipments (Support equips, battle equips and some rations too.) 10 STR: +1 Min/Max Damage 20 STR: +4 Min/Max Damage 30 STR: +5 Min/Max Damage 40 STR: +8 Min/Max Damage 50 STR: +10 Min/Max Damage 60 STR: +12 Min/Max Damage 70 STR: +13 Min/Max Damage 80 STR: +15 Min/Max Damage 90 STR: +17 Min/Max Damage 100 STR: +19 Min/Max Damage The bonus add up in such a way that once you reach that certain amount of strength the pluses add to your Min/Max damage. It means that when you have 60 STR you have a +41 Min/Max damage bonus. This is how it works (STR + Weapon Attack + Bonus + Weapon upgrade) Vitality (VIT) ============================================================ I do not recommend a Pure ViT Thief, due Thief only use AGI as their main defense and VIT is only used as a support. Often Vit are taken after you finished your build (that's where all your extra stat should go). Agility (AGI) ============================================================= The partner of Vitality in making a defensive character. But Agility is more than that, 1 Agi is equivalent to +1 Flee and also adds to your ASPD. Higher ASPD means Faster Killing time. Agility is very Vital to Thieves because it's their main arse. Dexterity (DEX) =========================================================== This stat raises your accuracy and your maximum/minimum damage. +1 Dex means +1 Hit same as the Agi-Flee but this stat counteracts that. The standard DEX is 40. Dex also has an influence in ASPD. DEX Min/Max Damage ���������������������������� 20 +3 30 +4 40 +5 50 +6 60 +8 70 +10 80 +12 90 +13 100 +14 Intelligence (INT) ======================================================== Intelligence is not recommended to have, leaved it to 1. But you can stack all your remaining stats points here just to aid your SP consuming. Luck (LUK) ================================================================ This stat is very useful for those who are going for the Crit Rogue. Luck affects your avatar by: Crit Chance: every 3 LUK = +1 Critical Perfect Dodge: Every 10 LUK = +1 Dodge (that's the +x in your flee.) If you want a real Crit Character, I recommend that you raise your LUK to 60+ and equip a Triple/Quad Crit weapon. But really... Crits are only for assassin because Katar Class weapons have double Crit rating. __________________________________________________________________________ - VI. How to get there --------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ [Thief]------------------------------------------------------------------- You start out as a Novice (of course!) I require you to go through the test in the Midgard Academy and take the hell out of those annoying Fabres. In the Fabre Forest take the time to level. Level up there until you are If your' satisfied of your Blvl, then take the exam. Much better if they will recommend the Acolyte job for you (like I do) there's a little plus in this, but I prefer that they require you the swordie job so you can get yourself a red potion for free. As you step in the world of Midgard try to level up as soon as you can. Much better if someone will tank you. After you reached the Jlvl 10 of Novice. Proceed to the Thief Guild, that's inside the Morroc Pyramids in the Lower lv2. it's in the left room in the hall. After applying, the NPC tells you to collect some "Mushrooms" in the Mushroom Warehouse. A NPC named Bogus Man will warp you to the place he's outside the Pyramids near the water. o------------o |JOB BONUSES:| o------------o These do not add up like min/max damage. It works like this. Once you reach that job level that is how much stat bonuses you get. If you are at job level 42 you get +4 Vitality not all of the other job bonuses added up. THIEF JOB BONUSES: ====================================================== Job Level 2 : +1 AGI Job Level 6 : +1 STR Job Level 10: +1 DEX Job Level 14: +1 VIT Job Level 18: +1 INT Job Level 22: +2 DEX Job Level 26: +1 LUK Job Level 30: +2 STR Job Level 33: +2 AGI Job Level 36: +3 AGI Job Level 38: +3 STR Job Level 40: +2 LUK Job Level 42: +3 DEX Job Level 44: +2 VIT Job Level 46: +3 LUK Job Level 47: +4 STR Job Level 49: +4 DEX Job Level 50: +4 AGI [Rogue]-------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to Faros Lighthouse Island (Located at 196,117). You can go there by Comodo warp. Talk to the NPC there, and proceed to talk to the old man nearby to take tests. First, you will have to collect some items and bring it back. When you bring it back, you are asked to distribute those items to Hollgrenn Na, Aragarm, or Junior. These guys are located (NOT in refine buildings!) in the east field from the Lighthouse. Go there, and solve the secret code. When you return, you will take a final test, a test to see if you can escape a dungeon. When you pass this, you can finally become a Rogue. o------------o |JOB BONUSES:| o------------o These do not add up like min/max damage. It works like this.

MVP'ing as a Rogue ------------------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________________ Since I don't MVP much and I have no experience, I can't make a good MVP guide and I don't know how to MVP using AGI builds >_<. I prefer Hybrids. BTW, This part of the guide is contributed by Martin Cheng <[email protected]> and same with the WoE Rogue guide. Thanks man, you saved me! 1. As a rogue, you absolutely CANT mvp without a tank and a support, unless you are packed with Yggdrasil Berries(which is quite hard to do). 2. You must have quick reflexes, and fast fingers with spammable sp healers. (And a quick connection i.e. DSl etc...) 3. Your tank must be constantly attacking to divert the MVP's attention away from you. 4. Run behind the MVP with a triple damage modifying SABRE or an Elemental TSURUGI(whichever is better), and backstab 2 or 3 times(if youre fast), then let the MVP go back to the constantly attacking tank, and you will run behind the mvp and backstab more.(IMPORTANT that you use the SWORDS, due to higher attack power, and spammable backstabs). OR Raid like a maniac, applicable only if you have massed SP healing items in your inventory to spare. This isn't a fool-proof way to get the MVP, because rogues simply are not designed to do that. Tanks will probaby gain more MVP points through all the damage they're gonna take, and rogues won't do much even with the strong damage of backstab due to limited usage. __________________________________________________________________________ - XIII. WoE Rogue -------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ Contributed by: Martin Cheng <[email protected]> WoE is a different story though, rogues pawn in that. 1.Stay hidden-dont go near priests, monks, wizards or sages. They're dangerous. Hunters will be too busy fighting to detect you. 2.Closely sink in behind a target, then you can split into 3 different things: A: 3.If your guild is scattering THEN destroying the opposing force, then use intimidate and kill that person after you intimidate to a good, beneficial location. (But I think intimidate is banned in WoE.) B: 3.If your guild is outright killing the whole guild, backstab and hope the controller on the other end dont respond fast enough and gets killed by a few swift strokes. C: 3.If the enemy guild is bunched up together, raid like no tomorrow and watch as they all fall within seconds of your fury. 4.When at the Emperium, run up to it and slash it vigorously with a SWORD, because iirc Emps cant be damaged by double slash, and swords are the next best thing. (Sword Mastery) __________________________________________________________________________ - XIV. Card Collection --------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ Here are the cards that Thief's will find useful. They are classified by their placement.

Leveling Spots ----------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________________ All the things I will mention here are from my experience as a Thief. for the 2nd time. But this will also depend on your money, equipments, patience and friends as *Edge says. 1-10: All monsters that in the map that is 1map away from cities. I recommend that you level up in the Sograt desert and battle those Drops, Condors, Pickies and Super Pickies. 11-20: Go to the Rocker Fields and battle them or if you're daring you can always try the Ambernites. If you have yourself a good party or a friend that is in a high level you can ask him to tank you in the Byalan island (I did this). 21-30: Try the culverts if you want and also try Payon lv2. I stick to Byalan by this level until Blevel 50. ^_^ the place is good up to level 2 that is. the aggressiveness is low and you can get yourself to rest. 31-40: Stick to one place. I recommend Byalan or Orc Dungeon. 41-50: Try to stick to one place, Byalan 2 will be good. 51-60: Haaayy..... This is the semi-boring years I would say. If your AGI is high enough you could always try the Sohees. (Bonguns are a pain in the neck!) 61-70: You can have your Job Change by these level if your going for the Jlvl50 Change. Stick to Sohees or Mummies if your daring. 71-80: By this level, Try the GH or Alde Baran Dungeon and by the way... Your by yourself by this... It's up to you to find your self a good leveling spot. 81+: 80+!? Why don't join our guild? hehehe ^_^ Try MVP'ng. __________________________________________________________________________ - XVI.

FAQ's ------------------------------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________________ "Oliver Su�az" <[email protected]> asked: 1. Have you actually played the rogue before? or you just reviewed the skills and made the builds out of your observations? -> I have played a Rogue in a private Server. I can't simulate a good MVP'ing experience since my equips are so unrealistic and you can only solo-MVP because I play alone in my house and not in a cafe or in a computer shop. 2. If a rogue plagiarizes a knight who used spear stab, can the rogue copy that? Or it requires a spear for a rogue to equip? same goes for a hunter's double strafe.. do u need a bow? -> Yes, you need to meet all the requirements in order to use the skill. 3. Can a rogue equip two daggers like a dagger-sin? -> No they can't. __________________________________________________________________________ - XVIII. Contact Me ------------------------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________________ I Accept emails especially if you want to contribute to this guide. If you happen to be online in pRO you can whisper me. I'm in the Iris Server my character names are: Battle-Maiden_Aimo (Battle-Acolyte) Battle-Maiden_Reginleif (Merchant) Xcelsion (Combo-Asura Monk) I will be glad to answer your questions. Basta hindi ako busy... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- * E-Mail/Contacts Policy - *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Why'd I suddenly summon a E-Mail/Contacts Policy section? Simply to categorize every mail that I've been receiving from those that are possibly either a Virus or something bad. I would suggest you follow the following things below so as to quickly get a reply off the day or two after you mailed me. Yes! I'm that quick on replying mails as I don't want my Inbox to be so filled and to make my browser go faster when checking things out. Anyway here are the list of Do's and Don'ts doing something that is on either the Do's/Don'ts list will seriously affect the odds of you getting a reply so I suggest you follow them as simple rules are applied. *- E-Mails -* Do�s and Don�ts --------------- 1. Only send me questions that can't be found on my guide. I will be more happy to help you in this case. 2. Try to be specific in defining something or when stating what had happened. So I won't be e-mailing you back for some questions that'll simply consume our precious time. 3. I won't be accepting or be opening any mails that have attachments. 4. Check the latest version of the guide before sending in any questions, chances are that your question might be answered in the newest version of the guide. 5. If I happen to not reply after three or so days than e-mail me again nicely and I'll reply ASAP. 6. You must label your mail with the game title whether a submission or a question (E.I. FFX-2 <insert any topic for your contribution> or just FFX-2 for questions or inquiries). 7. Don't be persistent, don't e-mail me the very same question that I've already answered. 8. Don't send me nonsense e-mails like "How much is..." "Can you buy me this?" 9. Be nice! Don't use bad words in your mail. 10. No Chain Mails! Doing anything that isn't allowed will automatically make your address be blocked from any future mail you might possibly send. __________________________________________________________________________ - XVI.
