11 years later, and zoma showing what its like to be an iRO influencer i just love how guides this detailed and this well edited could even exist for mainstream RO in the 2013
Thanks! I originally made this in either 2008 or 2009 and it was for my specific pserver I was playing on, so a lot of the info prolly differs from what is actually best. I ended up privating and unprivating this vid a few times so the upload date got changed. Glad people are still finding enjoyment in watching this in 2024 tho. Cheers!
@@ZomaSenpai Wow, isn't that crazy? Because that's literally what I wanted to do for heRO private server, is create a guide revealing all the clandestine quirks the oldest private server in RO history that has never been server wiped. Ya know, like using a bloody branch drop chance custom headgear to generate bloody branches to break with a level 16 novice to guarantee Ghostring spawn upon every use, and farm the fabrics from the giant whispers while wearing bee wings item drop equip set to collect Acid Bomb materials like stems, to Always Be Generating Max Damage Consumables. I had some of the game knowledge, but my reputation was terrible there. I am the most banned player from that server.
I actually had a really nostalgic moment where I wanted to play again and I saw that talon is up again and I just recently joined a few weeks ago. It's similar to anthem / animus I made my sniper and high priest. I really want to make a nymph white Smith but don't know exactly what build of equipment to get. The cards are vastly different though the very customized. Was hoping for a rough idea of gear
I love this video! I come back to watch it from time to time, informative, interesting, and gives me ideas for my future smith when I get around to playing more
Thank you! I'm flattered that you come back even now to watch it. Just make sure you cross reference with guides that are more up to date; this guide is almost 10 years old!
This helped so much as a blacksmith back then. I come back to this video once in a while just fpr nostalgia. Also the Lost in Dreams by Mike NRG is a song I like, sounds a bit like the Coal Mines soundtrack.
Thanks for not hiding it, I still like it and think it's fun despite being super old! Also the song is a bop. It crept back into my memory so I came back to watch it, lol
man, that's a really good video. im whitesmith user and congratulations, first video on youtube that i find with this level, really good i loved it, i learned a lot of things, even if i didnt understand some words (im not english) i got surprised with the MVP part, really awesome, but i never get that high quanty of money, and didnt understands completly, that part.. Congratulations :P
Probably. I was planning on doing a PVP portion originally, but it would have stretched the video to over 20 minutes, so I just ended up never making it. But I will most likely make a PVP video.
best video guide i ever saw. but. # 1: ws - best dps in game - false (!!!) creator, champion, even a sniper do their job much better. ws is a support class: over trust, full adrenaline rush, weapon perfection. # 2: ws - expensive to upkeep - true (!!!) you need to have much more overpriced gears for ws than creator (just make bottles for AD)/champion(just 1 weapon)/sniper(just 1 weapon) - just bcuz you must tank and dps, not only tank or only dps like others. also CT always needs zeny - you must always have a buffer of it.
+David Fischer he is right creator is way better than ws in pvm ofc pvp ws is better i mean so far creator can beat impossible mvps such as ifrit talking about pre-ren ofc (after ren every body know that if u want mvp genetic is ur man XD)
+David Fischer creator can solo bio 3 too all he need is high amount of dex and bg set wich are free to get 99 int 99 dex 25 agi and u can melt pretty much anything
@fjag11 150 str was just from the pally buff gospel. Hitting 15k damage isnt hard once you hit level 99 as a reborn. Its about getting the gear required for it. Theres probably way better gear out there but my RO knowledge is well over a year out of date, so I can't really advise too well on that.
I dunno why this vid is showing an upload date in 2012 (prolly cuz I put it on private then back on public) but this was uploaded in 2007 or 2008. I can't remember honestly.
One of the videos I get back into, it has that complete content. Well, I get back to here again because I am thinking if this guide will apply to a classic RO, like non-trans, no donations and stuff. Had a chance to finally play blacksmith.
It's Weaponry Research. Maximize Power makes your minimum damage the same as your maximum damage as if you had unlimited DEX (as in, you don't hit between 350-400 damage, you always hit 400 damage. Also keep in mind that DEX does more than just help you hit people.
Before you can do Geffenia you need an Ice Pick, so if you're starting new the best thing you can do is to make an alt character like a Hunter to help support you. What I always do is I make a Knight and mob at Bibilan. Not only are the NPC drops enough to supplement any pots or other small things you'll want to buy in the beginning, but it's decent EXP and the cards you can get there are worth a lot, AND it's a lot faster than if you use a Hunter. Card hunting is your best bet for starting off.
Str 110 (i think), aspd 178, dex, vit. I love old times. Bs in old times is a monster to kill MvP. No one can compete with him, ridiculous dps! Unfortunately i'm not playing any old times right now, i don't know any, if you know let me know please.
***** There's a low rate classic server right now, i'm actually playing in it called sarah server... just search sarahserver(dot)net dude, I'd love to play with you.. I just found out about it a month ago.
AGI build isn't bad. If you're on officials that's probably the better choice anyway. This guide is mainly geared towards pserver players who can easily afford to Mammo (it's still possible, it just takes a lot of money managing) and still buy pots and make money.
I promised, but I don't even play RO anymore. O_O Right now I'm developing a game so my time is pretty much split up between school and coding. I might have to break that promise but who knows, maybe I'll make one some day if I get back into RO.
1) Lord of Death, RSX, and Assassin Cross Eremes all drop Ice Pick. 2) Ice Pick, full buffs, elemental endow. 3) 150 STR is only possible with either god gears or Gospel buffs. 4) You can make +10 STR foods by cooking (look it up) or on this server you can donate for them 5) Cart Termination 6) I assume you mean the Very Very Strong elemental 2h axes, which is just a forged weapon and has no cards in it. 7) I have a Thara Frog and a Horn card in two Valkyrie's Shields.
hi... love ur blacksmith vid! i was just wondering about ur method of gaining zennies. i just starded playing ragnarok and i manage to reach lvl 60 blacksmith. i find it really hard to hoard zeny thus making my mammo useless. im playing on offical pre-renewal server.
yo zoma thanks for this video still watching it in 2024, if you still alive what stats you would recommend for BS PvM, rates pre-Renewal mechanics 99/70 server rates x5/x5/x5 episode 10
I agree. I'm probably the laziest though. I went from 1/1 Novi to 65/1 Blacksmith in like an hour and 30 minutes on a 15/15/10 (job 50 of course) and I pretty much haven't touched it since then.
Zipper Bear. IDK though, honestly I didn't really use the axe weapon that I had to CT all that often, so having a weapon with that much SP consumption (-1 SP per card) is gonna be a lot worse when you're Hammerfalling.
Absolutely. They're great for leveling at the places you mentioned, but I wouldn't use a 2h weapon in WOE. You never know if a good SinX is lurking around the corner, or perhaps an e-fister. Then again, I'm not sure what type of WoEs you have on the server. If it's a low pop server, go for it, but if you're in a big WOE setting, then I'd advise to stick to strictly 1h weapons for WOE. If you can kill them in 1 CT with a heartbreaker/hurricanes, you can probably kill them in 1h with a CK. =P
Guess it's just personal preference. Whichever is more easily accessible. IIRC (haven't played for like 3 years) it'd be easier to access Moscovia than Geffenia, but not sure on your particular server if you can warp in directly or what.
@justanity Sorry, I was planning on doing a better version of this guide for everyone, but unfortunately I've quit RO and I don't plan on playing again. Long story short, it was originally intended as a video entry for a contest on my server and never expected it to become so big, and the server had loads of ice picks, so it was very easy to get one. However, my best advice would be to make some friends who do Bio3 MVP and wait in line, cause usually SinX is first for IPs. S:
as a blacksmith a lot of people go high STR/AGI for grinding, which is ok. I think if you get 181-182 with axes then there's no need to go any higher. Most people will settle with about 179-180 though. You want to focus your build towards STR no matter what build. DEX isn't as important til you're a Mastersmith. Anyway good luck
8) No. But, a good build would have STR as the highest stat, VIT as the second highest stat, and AGI and DEX (depending on taste) can be either higher or lower than one another. 9) PVP weapons: Ice Pick, Combat Knife, Quad Diligent Orcish Axe or another 1h axe/mace if you're too poor for it, and status maces or anything that statuses. 10) You should get a +9 of any shoes and get Superior Shoes (Antique Firelock card). You can get extra STR from them and be able to wear welding mask. out of room
If you use RODE calculator, you'll see that there's a set skill delay of .33 on officials and most pservers. Some choose to alter it or get rid of it and there's a setting to get rid of it (you can find it at the VEEERY bottom). Since the default is .33 (which is essentially 3 times a second), you can only use 3 skills per second, and 186 ASPD is basically 3 hits a second. That's essentially what I mean. In no ways do I support high ASPD builds though. My PVM build has 182 with HOTB set. :P
I'm not wrong.. Weaponry Research really gives more HIT bonus, beyond the increase chance of successfully Forging a weapon AND ATK bonus(ATK in which HIT NEVER misses the target). Now look again the effect of Maximize Power: "The character does maximum damage on all attacks THAT HIT, as if having unlimited DEX." Now .. Why do you think the "HIT THAT" is written with CAPS LOCK on? this is because it only causes the Max Damage in attacks THAT HIT! ^^
You are completely right. This was pre Thor/Diablos gear. My knowledge was out of date even then. But also this guide was specifically built around LLRO. I didn't ever expect this to get any attention outside of the server, so it was a bit of a surprise when it got over 100k views. Everything in this guide is totally out-of-date, but it's always fun to look back to the past and see how things used to be. :P
And by more reliable I mean that it will do consistent damage and can adapt to things like GR. But that doesn't necessarily make it better than the other killing moves. It's why I mained Lord Knight instead of Smith last year, since our guild already had an active Smith... we didn't really need more than 1. CT isn't that great for PVP, and this guide is geared towards PVM. In general (not always though), AD > CT in PVP/WOE, CT > AD in MVPing.
go to geffenia for money, you'll make more than enough for WoE there. ice pick and CK, you'll have to save up or if you're gutsy do the CK quest. If the seals are open, make an ice pick. Or you can efist LoD untill it drops an ice pick.
Hi Zoma. I'm Playing a midrate sv, and I wanna make some money in gefenia, but an icepick is like 100m and I don't have it yet, Could you advise me on witch weapon can I use to kill Succubus and Incubus faster? Thank You
I am not sure since I haven't played in ages, but it looks like Richard (commentor above/below) has a good answer for you. Sorry I couldn't be much more help! BUt good luck. :D
Ehm... Hibram is more complicated than that. If you wanna use a WS to kill him all you need are 1 HP, 1 Paladin, 1 HW and if you want to bring a BRagi you can. Just have the HW Storm Gust and freezes the Banshees, HP Pneuma the Pally/HP/Prof and SW you, and Pally Devo you. Alternatively you can LP instead of SG to protect against the GC/DarkGC but Bathory is ESSENTIAL in that fight. (Bathory is helpful no matter what setup, though.)
How much dex would you recommend for the Bio MVPs? Cause they all seem to have 260+ flee. I realize its been a few years since you played, but still curious ;)
Man, awesome video, but.. On the server that I play (there are old times), some people do not sell CK, only Ice Pick.. Can I use only Ice Pick to make money in geffenia? But how about PvP can you answer me if is better to have a war axe/cranial shield or orc[4] zipper/cranial shield? Thanks a lot!
Good for PVM but I never liked using 2h weapons in PVP. :x MVPing mostly depends on what drops I get. Sometimes I'll make plenty more than I spend and other times I could spend a lot before making anything, but rarely will I ever spend more than I make over a few days. The best tips I can give are to be patient and persistent.
Well I was just saying to use a Hunter. You don't need a Sniper to collect cards like Thara, marc, etc. In fact I usually do well with a level 70-80 Hunter + Gakkung bow. If you don't do Hunter you could always do Knight. Either way I always do them side by side, and I don't focus on one more than the other.
"Full buffs" as in Bless, AGI, Impositio Manus, all Priest buffs that could help you. Gospel buffs as in Battle Chant or Gospel, the Paladin skill that gives you random buffs.
It does, but you have to be better about managing your money and a lot of the things I said would earn you more money than you spend won't, like Hill WInds for example. If you still have an Ice Pick, Sleepers are still a valid choice but you might not always make more than you spend. It all gets down to how well you manage your money, but I'm sure you'll do fine as long as you confirm that with a few people who actually main Smith on officials, which I don't. :(
Wrong. SinX is better burst damage, but is just barely under Whitesmith for highest DPS. SInX damage just looks more terrifying/dangerous because it happens all at once. Keep in mind that Sonic Blow has a 2 second cooldown, whereas you can CT someone up to 6 times in that timeframe. (10k EDP SB VS 3k CTs... lol...)
Sorry! I tried to do some League videos when I played but I wasn't happy with the quality of them so I took them down and stopped. I would love to get back into gaming vids but nowadays I only play casual games. I don't know if anyone would be interested in that.
The server this was filmed on is definitely NOT a great place to be, however, if you're looking for a good server that I endorse, it'd be either EternityRO (eternityro[dot]net) or JusticeRO (justicero[dot]net).
Depends on the server, I don't remember which is the bug and which isn't cause I haven't played RO for months, but I'm about 85% sure it's supposed to work with Cart Revo. I could be wrong though.
Hi, I made a Whitesmith on a private server after watching the video but I don't think I can hit more often with 35 dex. Any suggestions on how to have a nice MVP build? I play on a low rate 99/70 server, Episode 13. Here's my stats: Str: 99 Agi: 43 Vit: 80 Dex: 35 My aspd isn't that great so any suggestions? And oh, there are no God Items and boss cards in this server.
i hve ws 99/70 and i go with this build in pvm str:99 agi:70 vit:55 dex:38 and in pvp str:99 agi:60 vit:80 dex:2 since u going vs people in pvp u probably gona stun most of them and if its stun its dead so u wont need a lot of dex
For PVM it's acceptable to have over 50DEX with a STR VIT DEX build. My knowledge is out of date, but near the end when Diablos gear came out and stun became 100% preventable through gear, I was able to pump less into VIT and more into DEX and AGI for PVP. I believe this will also transfer over into PVM as well. Sorry for the late response. :)
I have A Whitesmith 99/70 and i have 2 questions: 1.Ice Pick is good idea for Whitesmith? 2. If i have Orchish Axe whit 4 Zipper Bear, i do more damage whit Cart Termination?? please answer, Good Video :D
would you make another video like this, oriented to PVP and woe? o_O your videos are really good, mastersmiths are my favorite characters, and im starting with it, ill suscribe
Oh thanks :D, but i have another question.. if i use a hurricane fury[1], should i put a howard card or a mummy card? i dont know because i want to pvp and to mvp, and i'm having a little difficult to create my own build :o, thanks again!
10 years later and still one of the best RO videos ever.

It's also entertaining, that's why I enjoy it as well!

lol still one of the best WS guides out there...if you are still alive, please let me know if WS can solo Bio3 to rush to level 99/70.
I know that is has been years but man this video is great and helpful.
sometimes I only come here for the nostalgia factor, what a good video
Based video, such nostalgia. The old school trance/techno music makes it 10x better.
When is Mr. Zoma making a return to RO stream on twitch? :^)
Probably never lol, most of the homies I played with are either dead or have long moved on from the game, unfortunately.
It’s been 10 years with this clip. Can I get a heart?
2024 and still watching this
this is no doubt the best smith guide! good job, man...
Probably. I was planning on doing a PVP portion originally, but it would have stretched the video to over 20 minutes, so I just ended up never making it. But I will most likely make a PVP video.
Very nice !! bs/ws is my favorite class , too . This guide is pritty awesome , it sumarizes the knowledge of a pro . Thumbs up man !
best video guide i ever saw. but.
# 1: ws - best dps in game - false (!!!)
creator, champion, even a sniper do their job much better. ws is a support class: over trust, full adrenaline rush, weapon perfection.
# 2: ws - expensive to upkeep - true (!!!)
you need to have much more overpriced gears for ws than creator (just make bottles for AD)/champion(just 1 weapon)/sniper(just 1 weapon) - just bcuz you must tank and dps, not only tank or only dps like others. also CT always needs zeny - you must always have a buffer of it.
you'll get your ass kicked in pvp by a "support" WS :^
+David Fischer he is right creator is way better than ws in pvm ofc pvp ws is better i mean so far creator can beat impossible mvps such as ifrit talking about pre-ren ofc (after ren every body know that if u want mvp genetic is ur man XD)
talking bout bio 03 though > a WS with a little setup can "solo" kill some of the bio 03 mvps.
+David Fischer creator can solo bio 3 too all he need is high amount of dex and bg set wich are free to get 99 int 99 dex 25 agi and u can melt pretty much anything
+jake solie never saw that but i guess so. :P
Godly Whitesmith Guide, best one I seen
10/10!
@fjag11 150 str was just from the pally buff gospel. Hitting 15k damage isnt hard once you hit level 99 as a reborn. Its about getting the gear required for it. Theres probably way better gear out there but my RO knowledge is well over a year out of date, so I can't really advise too well on that.
RO isnt awful, is one of the best mmo games in the part of items, gears, farming and mechanics (talking about pre-re)
yeah tell this guy to find a nother mmo who was played by 40m people around the world i play ws better than this guy
#Agree
Who could hate RO anyway?? Obviously only a total jerk. :P
I think I come back every year just to watch this when I get the RO bug!
amazing video! first time playing ws and i took all ur advice and its great! time to farm more zeny xD
I dunno why this vid is showing an upload date in 2012 (prolly cuz I put it on private then back on public) but this was uploaded in 2007 or 2008. I can't remember honestly.
excellent video....much detail information about whitesmith
Thank you!
One of the videos I get back into, it has that complete content. Well, I get back to here again because I am thinking if this guide will apply to a classic RO, like non-trans, no donations and stuff. Had a chance to finally play blacksmith.
Still relevant for some private servers. :)
Yes, I would consider myself a Whitesmith enjoyer
Full Adrenaline Rush, AGI up, Berserk potion... all you need, as long as you have the Horn of the Buffalo/Thorny combo you should hit a good ASPD.
It's a private server, but I'll be playing EternityRO from now on in case you were wondering. Sorry about the late reply!
I usually use Ice Pick when the VIT+DEF is over 80 total (not including VIT +s if it's players) but it's not really a perfect number to go by. :x
It's Weaponry Research. Maximize Power makes your minimum damage the same as your maximum damage as if you had unlimited DEX (as in, you don't hit between 350-400 damage, you always hit 400 damage. Also keep in mind that DEX does more than just help you hit people.

Hey dude, nice video. after watch this, you give me a real thing to play again!
Dude your MVP vid is amazing.
Thanks man.
***** what build was that BS?
Str 110 (i think), aspd 178, dex, vit. I love old times. Bs in old times is a monster to kill MvP. No one can compete with him, ridiculous dps!
Unfortunately i'm not playing any old times right now, i don't know any, if you know let me know please.

i think ws is THE BEST combat class in RO ever!!!!!!!!!
nice guide ty.......
I promised, but I don't even play RO anymore. O_O
Right now I'm developing a game so my time is pretty much split up between school and coding. I might have to break that promise but who knows, maybe I'll make one some day if I get back into RO.
Nice Vid Man!! I always liked WS but never really learned how to use them.. thanks ^^
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
I love you, my dude.
1) Lord of Death, RSX, and Assassin Cross Eremes all drop Ice Pick.
2) Ice Pick, full buffs, elemental endow.
3) 150 STR is only possible with either god gears or Gospel buffs.
4) You can make +10 STR foods by cooking (look it up) or on this server you can donate for them
5) Cart Termination
6) I assume you mean the Very Very Strong elemental 2h axes, which is just a forged weapon and has no cards in it.
7) I have a Thara Frog and a Horn card in two Valkyrie's Shields.
Jesus Christ, that was a good guide.

8) No. But, a good build would have STR as the highest stat, VIT as the second highest stat, and AGI and DEX (depending on taste) can be either higher or lower than one another.
9) PVP weapons: Ice Pick, Combat Knife, Quad Diligent Orcish Axe or another 1h axe/mace if you're too poor for it, and status maces or anything that statuses.
10) You should get a +9 of any shoes and get Superior Shoes (Antique Firelock card). You can get extra STR from them and be able to wear welding mask.

I'm not wrong.. Weaponry Research really gives more HIT bonus, beyond the increase chance of successfully Forging a weapon AND ATK bonus(ATK in which HIT NEVER misses the target).
Now look again the effect of Maximize Power:
"The character does maximum damage on all attacks THAT HIT, as if having unlimited DEX."
Now .. Why do you think the "HIT THAT" is written with CAPS LOCK on? this is because it only causes the Max Damage in attacks THAT HIT! ^^
ok he is right about stats and gears but lvling method i dont think so since every thing changed
You are completely right. This was pre Thor/Diablos gear. My knowledge was out of date even then. But also this guide was specifically built around LLRO. I didn't ever expect this to get any attention outside of the server, so it was a bit of a surprise when it got over 100k views. Everything in this guide is totally out-of-date, but it's always fun to look back to the past and see how things used to be. :P
When I saw this I thought you were Khalin's smaller brother, then I saw the mention of him, lmao.
I added it to the description for anyone who's looking for it now. I should have done that before. :T
i love how he starts whispering.
It's GROOVY
Great vid my man. I wish I could get hands on IP. Thanks.
And by more reliable I mean that it will do consistent damage and can adapt to things like GR. But that doesn't necessarily make it better than the other killing moves. It's why I mained Lord Knight instead of Smith last year, since our guild already had an active Smith... we didn't really need more than 1. CT isn't that great for PVP, and this guide is geared towards PVM. In general (not always though), AD > CT in PVP/WOE, CT > AD in MVPing.
which guild did you play back in the day? this is around the time when we started denkou hana and / or created Montalion
it works. its just reduced to 10% chance on lvl 5 against bosses.
9 fucking years what is this and how does time fly so goddamn fast. feels like yesterday that ive been with you guys.
go to geffenia for money, you'll make more than enough for WoE there.
ice pick and CK, you'll have to save up or if you're gutsy do the CK quest. If the seals are open, make an ice pick. Or you can efist LoD untill it drops an ice pick.
Depends if you're pre-renewal or post-renewal. Pre I'd say STR but post definitely AGI.
Hi Zoma. I'm Playing a midrate sv, and I wanna make some money in gefenia, but an icepick is like 100m and I don't have it yet, Could you advise me on witch weapon can I use to kill Succubus and Incubus faster? Thank You
Lucas Freire Giant Axe or Hurricane Fury with Aspersio. 2 shot / mob even if you dont have high end gears.
I am not sure since I haven't played in ages, but it looks like Richard (commentor above/below) has a good answer for you. Sorry I couldn't be much more help! BUt good luck. :D
Ehm... Hibram is more complicated than that. If you wanna use a WS to kill him all you need are 1 HP, 1 Paladin, 1 HW and if you want to bring a BRagi you can. Just have the HW Storm Gust and freezes the Banshees, HP Pneuma the Pally/HP/Prof and SW you, and Pally Devo you. Alternatively you can LP instead of SG to protect against the GC/DarkGC but Bathory is ESSENTIAL in that fight. (Bathory is helpful no matter what setup, though.)
2017 still watching this.
great guide mate! what total agi do you recommend for peak cart term speed?
You can use Porcellio AND Giant Whisper, there's no point in choosing one over the other.
How much dex would you recommend for the Bio MVPs? Cause they all seem to have 260+ flee. I realize its been a few years since you played, but still curious ;)
50+ base at least.
Man, awesome video, but.. On the server that I play (there are old times), some people do not sell CK, only Ice Pick.. Can I use only Ice Pick to make money in geffenia? But how about PvP can you answer me if is better to have a war axe/cranial shield or orc[4] zipper/cranial shield? Thanks a lot!
Good for PVM but I never liked using 2h weapons in PVP. :x
MVPing mostly depends on what drops I get. Sometimes I'll make plenty more than I spend and other times I could spend a lot before making anything, but rarely will I ever spend more than I make over a few days. The best tips I can give are to be patient and persistent.
Well I was just saying to use a Hunter. You don't need a Sniper to collect cards like Thara, marc, etc. In fact I usually do well with a level 70-80 Hunter + Gakkung bow. If you don't do Hunter you could always do Knight. Either way I always do them side by side, and I don't focus on one more than the other.
"Full buffs" as in Bless, AGI, Impositio Manus, all Priest buffs that could help you.
Gospel buffs as in Battle Chant or Gospel, the Paladin skill that gives you random buffs.
Nice guide man, but i have a question, what kind of cards are good to put in my orchish axe [4], to amplify the HSCR damage? thanks by now
great guide Zoma!
you gonna make a PVP guide? =P
It does, but you have to be better about managing your money and a lot of the things I said would earn you more money than you spend won't, like Hill WInds for example. If you still have an Ice Pick, Sleepers are still a valid choice but you might not always make more than you spend. It all gets down to how well you manage your money, but I'm sure you'll do fine as long as you confirm that with a few people who actually main Smith on officials, which I don't. :(
I love your video kisses from Brazil.
Wrong. SinX is better burst damage, but is just barely under Whitesmith for highest DPS. SInX damage just looks more terrifying/dangerous because it happens all at once. Keep in mind that Sonic Blow has a 2 second cooldown, whereas you can CT someone up to 6 times in that timeframe. (10k EDP SB VS 3k CTs... lol...)
ooooooh thanks so much
Excelente maan eres un geniooo :D
Man, u should have continued ur youtube videos!
Sorry! I tried to do some League videos when I played but I wasn't happy with the quality of them so I took them down and stopped. I would love to get back into gaming vids but nowadays I only play casual games. I don't know if anyone would be interested in that.
@@ZomaSenpai play to mobile
The server this was filmed on is definitely NOT a great place to be, however, if you're looking for a good server that I endorse, it'd be either EternityRO (eternityro[dot]net) or JusticeRO (justicero[dot]net).
Depends on the server, I don't remember which is the bug and which isn't cause I haven't played RO for months, but I'm about 85% sure it's supposed to work with Cart Revo. I could be wrong though.
Hi, I made a Whitesmith on a private server after watching the video but I don't think I can hit more often with 35 dex. Any suggestions on how to have a nice MVP build? I play on a low rate 99/70 server, Episode 13.
Here's my stats:
Str: 99
Agi: 43
Vit: 80
Dex: 35
My aspd isn't that great so any suggestions? And oh, there are no God Items and boss cards in this server.
i hve ws 99/70 and i go with this build in pvm
str:99
agi:70
vit:55
dex:38
and in pvp
str:99
agi:60
vit:80
dex:2
since u going vs people in pvp u probably gona stun most of them and if its stun its dead so u wont need a lot of dex
For PVM it's acceptable to have over 50DEX with a STR VIT DEX build. My knowledge is out of date, but near the end when Diablos gear came out and stun became 100% preventable through gear, I was able to pump less into VIT and more into DEX and AGI for PVP. I believe this will also transfer over into PVM as well. Sorry for the late response. :)
Back then when people visit the forums
Ya, that's what i meant. Didn't know that was called battle mode. But ya it makes things ALOT easier... I guess it is battle mode then.
Fire Endow he said :)
Classic guide
With no DEX you stay totally dependent of Stun to kill someone, and the skill what never miss the target is Weaponry Research.
What is the ideal distribution of points in stats and do you have a video that includes the skills?
I have A Whitesmith 99/70 and
i have 2 questions:
1.Ice Pick is good idea for Whitesmith?
2. If i have Orchish Axe whit 4 Zipper Bear,
i do more damage whit Cart Termination??
please answer,
Good Video :D
would you make another video like this, oriented to PVP and woe? o_O your videos are really good, mastersmiths are my favorite characters, and im starting with it, ill suscribe
Oh thanks :D, but i have another question.. if i use a hurricane fury[1], should i put a howard card or a mummy card? i dont know because i want to pvp and to mvp, and i'm having a little difficult to create my own build :o, thanks again!
