Newbie Guide

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!
Welcome oh brave adventurer! Whether you've come from another dimension or a native of this realm, you're all welcome here! Welcome to BraveRO!

BraveRO is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) where you can play with a lot of real players in real time. You can share an adventure with a lot of friends you meet along the way. You can choose your job specializations from a wide choices of job classes. Party up with your friends and complete quests or take down boss monsters. Challenge other players in a tournament or wage guild battles. The possibilities are endless!

If you're completely new to the game or to this server, I hope that the guide/s below will be useful in forging your path towards greatness.

STEP 1: Creating a Character

If you haven't made an account yet, you need to register an account first. Once that's done, run the game's patcher to see if there are any available patches and hit the Start Game button once it's done patching.

When the game has launched, you'll be greeted by the server/proxy server selection screen. Try and test which server has the best and stable connection for you on your end.

After the server selection screen, you'll then be moved to the login screen. Type here the username and password that you have registered.

Now you're in. If it's your first time playing, you'll see that you have nine empty character slots. These slots are fixed and cannot be increased in any way. Simply choose a slot that you wish to create a character in and double click it. You can alter a character's slot location by logging in your account in your account in the main website, select Account at the top right corner, select your My Account, click on the character name that you wish to change its slot, and click on Change Slot near the top of the page.

You can either choose to play as a Human or as a Doram character. Humans are the default class and have a wide variety of job specializations. They also have access to the Hero System. Dorams on the other hand only have one job class, which is the Summoner class. They currently are unable to become Heroes.

Once you've selected the race, type in your chosen character's name and adjust the gender, hairstyle, and hair color. Don't worry if you've made a mistake in your character's appearance. You can change your character's hairstyle, hair color, and clothes color via the Stylist function of the Main NPC. For a fee, you can change your character's gender by availing of the Crazy Scientist's service. Also for a fee, and with the use of a Change Name Scroll, you can change your character's name.

Once you've finally decided on your character's name and appearance, click the Create button. Afterwards you'll be moved back to the character selection screen. You can now finally enter the world of Midgard and begin your journey by clicking on the Login button or double clicking on your character.

STEP 3.1: Leveling and Job Changing

After logging in for the first time, you'll be warped into the introductory area. You can spend a few minutes trying to kill the monsters there or directly talk to the BraveRO Greeter NPC. If you're new, it's advisable to take the Introduction Lesson and Introduction Test. If you're taking the Introduction Test, you might want to kill a few monsters first before talking to the NPC and increasing your STR stat to at least 80+. This is because once you've passed the Introduction Test, a bunch of Yggdrasil Berries will be given as additional rewards. If you don't have enough weight capacity, the berries will just drop to the ground and you'll be unable to get them. No need to worry if the berries did drop, they're easy to farm anyway.

By talking to the BraveRO Greeter NPC, you'll be immediately given a BraveRO Newbie Manual and a BraveRO Rule Book. Regardless if you wish to take the test or not, you'll be given the Returner's Set, at least 5 pieces of Spearman Scroll 10, and one Field Manual. The will last for 30 days and give donation-level effects. However, cards cannot be placed into these equipment. The accessories have a level requirement of at least 100 before you can wear them. The Spearman Scroll 10 can be used to summon a 10th Grade spear mercenary.

Normal Leveling

If you're new to the game or you're a seasoned player that wishes to experience the thrill of leveling, then this is the option for you.

For the most part, unless you're careful, you might want to use the Spearman Scroll 10 that was given to you. Press CTRL + R to access the mercenary menu, and click Skill. This opens up the mercenary's skill menu. Drag the Spiral Pierce skill to your skill bar (press F10 if the skill bar is missing). From there, simply press the hotkey/shortcut that is associated with the slot in which you've placed the skill, and target monsters with it. This makes the spearman use its own skill to kill monsters. This skill has fairly high damage and can kill most low level monsters in Poring Island and Death Field (@warp izlu2dun) in just one cast. Monsters killed by your mercenary also gives experience to your character, so you can let the mercenary do most of the work for you.

Job Changing

There's no job change quest needed. Simply talk to the Main NPC and choose the Job Changer Option. Before changing jobs, make sure that you have completely used up all skill points. Otherwise, you might accidentally delete them. Depending on the path in which you decide to take, these are the routes that you can choose from.

IDEAL JOB CHANGE PATH FOR REGULAR JOBS

1. As a Novice, gain experience until you reach Job Level 10.
2. Job change into your First Job as a Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant, Thief, or Acolyte.
3. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 50.
4. Job change into your chosen Second Job.
5. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 50 again and Base Level 99.
6. Job change and select Choose to be Reborn.
7. Gain experience until you reach Job Level 10.
8. Job change into your previous first job.
9. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 50.
10. Job change into your Transcendent Job Class.
11. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 70.
12. Job change into a Third Job class.
13. From here, simply gain levels until you've reached a Base Level of 500.

Unless you know what you're doing, if you choose to become a Third Job immediately instead of being Reborn, you'll be unable to access your class' Transcendent skills, putting you at a disadvantage.

IDEAL JOB CHANGE PATH FOR BABY JOBS

1. As a Novice, talk to the Main NPC, choose the Job Changer option and choose Baby Job Changer. This will turn you into a Baby Novice.
2. Gain experience until you reach Job Level 10.
3. Job change into your First Job as a Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant, Thief, Acolyte, or Super Novice.
4. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 50.
5. Job change into your chosen Second Job.
6. Gain enough experience until you've reached a Base Level of 500.
7. To change into a Third Job class, go to the Baby 3rd Job Changer NPC in caspen 158 223.

Unless you know what you're doing, choosing to become a Baby Class has the immediate disadvantage of having no access to the Transcendent Skills, and they have lower stats compared to normal classes. Take note that a Baby Novice also cannot job change into a Ninja, Gunslinger, or a Taekwon Kid.

IDEAL JOB CHANGE PATH FOR EXTENDED JOBS

1. As a Novice, gain experience until you reach Job Level 10.
2. Job change into your Extended First Job as a Ninja, Gunslinger, or Taekwon Kid.
3. Gain enough experience until you reach Job Level 50.
4. Job change into your chosen Extended Second Job.
5. Gain enough experience until you've reached a Base Level of 500 and the maximum job level for your class.

Skip Leveling

If you're a seasoned player or you just don't wish to burden yourself with the process of leveling a new character, you can opt to skip leveling and instantly change jobs. For this you can talk to the Instant Job Changer NPC in Poring Island (@warp poring01 126 210). Regardless of the base level, your job needs to be a Novice to use the Instant Job Changer service. Changing into a Baby Novice will prevent you from using this service. Dorams also cannot use this service.

The Instant Job Changer NPC will allow you to choose from all available human job classes, instantly become base level 500, instantly get the maximum job level for your chosen class, and all skill applicable to your class are all upgraded to their maximum skill levels.

Trying to reset your skills will only return enough skill points as if you've normally leveled. However, to remedy this, you can talk to the Main NPC, select Stat/Skill Reset, and choose the Max All Skill option. As the name implies, this instantly sets all of your skills to their maximum level.

If you chose to use the Instant Job Changer NPC, you will be unable to acquire the extra Bubblegum item from an achievement once you've reached level 500.

STEP 4.0: Tutorial Quests and Achievement System

Tutorial Quests

As of April 3 2023, the Tutorial Quest NPC was added in caspen 179 212. Talk to this NPC to start the Tutorial Quests which all give a bunch of useful rewards. Completing certain Tutorial Quests will also unlock Challenge Missions. Each time you complete a Challenge Mission, it will be replaced with a higher level mission of the same name. These Challenge Missions also grant rewards once you've satisfied the requirements for each level. There's no rush in completing all of the Tutorial Quests and Challenge Quests. If you constantly play the game and do most of the things indicated in the Tutorial Quests a lot, you'll eventually complete them.

Achievement System

Main Article: Achievements System
By doing various aspects of the game, they may give Achievement Rewards. This system was implemented way before the Tutorial Quests as indicated above. Some of the highest level achievements may be bugged and you might need to create a Helpdesk Ticket for it to be resolved.

STEP 4.1: Earning Zeny

Vending Items

Probably the most straightforward way of earning Zeny. You can broadcast or make a pub to advertise that you're selling items directly to other players.

With a merchant you can also go to @go vend and set up shop there. After setting up your merchant vendor, you can type in @autotrade to allow your merchant to vend while you're offline. If you wish that the merchant will continue to vend, make sure not to login the account that contains the merchant. For this reason, players often make separate accounts for the sole purpose of vending items.

Automated Events

Every thirty minutes, treasure boxes will spawn in a random map that contain a 500M Zeny Bag. An announcement will be made one minute before the boxes spawn and it will also indicate the map they will appear. There will be a lot of treasure boxes but only five of them contains the rewards.

Zeph Missions

Main Article: Zeph Missions
Basically kill the required number of monsters and you'll be rewarded with Zeny. Recommended jobs to do Zeph Missions are classes that have/can have access to area of effect skills like Warlocks, Rangers, Genetics, Shadow Chasers, and Super Novice.

Headgear Quests

MVP Hunter

Fused MVP Cards

Not a really lucrative form of farming for new players since it requires diving into the custom dungeon, Bossnia, and other slightly expensive items. If your character has just become a Hero Character and they have access to water-element area of effect (AoE) skills, then Bossnia might be a good map to start farming for your Hero EXP as well as getting the Red, Blue, and Yellow Charms used for MVP Card Fusion.
