1. Author's Note
------------
Hello and welcome to my Philippine Ragnarok Online Swordsman (or Swordie)/
Knight Guide! I'll simply help you to become this job and guide you how to
level up you character stronger. Well then, shall we get started?
------------
2. Starting Status on your Novice
------------
I kinda start my status on my Novice based on my favoritism. There are some
things that you should know before choosing which stauses you want to pick:
If you choose:
Str - Int will decrease
Vit - Dex will decrease
Luk - Agi will decrease
Agi - Luk will decrease
Dex - Vit will decrease
Int - Str will decrease
Natural Swordie (My all-out starting stats! T_T)
Str: 5
Agi: 5
Vit: 5
Dex: 5
Int: 5
Luk: 5
+ The balancer of all statuses on the RO history....LOL!
+ May deal a lot of damage to enemies (or so-called 50-50 chance)also on rare
items too...
- Deals damage less or greater.....
Str/Agi/Vit Swordie
Str: 9
Agi: 9
Vit: 9
Dex: 1
Int: 1
Luk: 1
+ The most common status of the players who want to be tough because of their
Vit
+ Loves to hit hard (Str) attacks quickly and evades most of the time (Agi) but
they'll be more faster on 2-Handed Quicken effect......
- Bad part is, you'll only to get a chance to hit them critically beacuse of
low Dex
Agi/Dex Hybrid
Str: 1
Agi: 9
Vit: 1
Dex: 9
Int: 1
Luk: 1
+ The speedster character who like to deals damage really fast and critically
(Agi/Dex)
- Attack power is low, you'll have to purchase/forge weapons to make it
stronger and powerful...
Str/Agi/Dex Swordie
Str: 9
Agi: 9
Vit: 1
Dex: 9
Int: 1
Luk: 1
+ Combination of power and speed who likes to kill enemies quickly without
hesitation
- Defense is poor and tends to deal a chunk of damage from enemies...
- Needs to buy a lot of healing items/armors for survival...
Pure Vit Swordie
Str: 5
Agi: 5
Vit: 9
Dex: 1
Int: 5
Luk: 5
+ This only focuses on defense and others are optional...
+ You can also choose a pure Str, Agi, or Dex Swordie if you prefer...
+ This status is much tougher than ever (if only focused on Vit) and has a lot
of HP in battles...
Note: When you become a Swordsman or a Knight and your Vit is the more you
spent on, use Spear Weapons(Spear, Pike, Glaive, etc..)and if it is Agi you
most spent on, use 1-Handed Weapons (Ring Pommel Saber, Rapier, Blade,
Falchion, etc..) or 2-Handed Weapons (Katana, Tsurugi, Slayer, etc..)
------------
3. Job Changing
------------

Spear Boomerang - Attacks an enemy on a distance with a Spear. Applicable for

SP Cost: 10

saw the name of the skill, I thought it was '2-Hand Chicken' and I say 'huh?
2-Hand Chicken?' (LOL eyesight ko n0h?)
Bowling Bash - damages nearby enemies on a splash area, causing them to crash
themselves.
SP Cost: 12
Requirements: Lv.3 Magnum Break, Lv.10 Bash, Lv.5 2-Hand Quicken, Lv.5 2-Handed

5. Best way to gain Zeny quickly...
------------
Here are three ways:
1. Sell some unvaluable things like jellopies, fluffs, feathers but make sure
you have this things A LOT for more money.
2. Make a room like 'S> Katana for 3k' or something like that but make sure
that you don't scam them, just sell the equipments that you don't use and use
common sense ok?
3. Try keeping valuable items like 3Carat/2Carat Diamonds, Opal, Sardonyx,
Witherless Rose or something like that, having more than 10 or so is a LOT of
moola....
I think these are the 3 ways to get more money....
