Join a Guild as Soon as You Unlock It
Once you reach Level 18, you will unlock the Guild system. Make sure you join a guild as soon as possible. A good guild gives you extra rewards, helpful teammates, and new activities that help you progress faster.
Even if you like playing alone, joining a guild is still worth it. It makes your Ragnarok: The New World gameplay easier, especially when you start fighting stronger enemies and harder content. A helpful guild can make your journey much more enjoyable.

Guild Quests
Complete Guild Quests every day to earn useful rewards and contribute to your guild. They're quick to finish and are one of the easiest ways to collect extra resources while helping your guild grow.
Guild Shop
The Guild Shop offers useful items that can help your progression. Make it a habit to check the shop regularly so you don't miss valuable weekly and daily purchases.
Free Daily Food
One of the best early perks is the free daily food from the Guild Shop. Combined with the free food from the Supply Shop, you'll have plenty of HP and SP recovery items without spending extra resources.
Guild Activities
Many activities and rewards are only available if you're part of a guild. Joining an active guild means you'll always have something to do, whether it's daily missions, special events, or cooperative content.
Better Boss Parties
World Bosses and difficult dungeons are much easier with a coordinated team. A good guild gives you reliable players to party with, making boss fights faster, smoother, and much more rewarding.
-
Beginner Tip: Try to join an active guild on your first day if possible. The earlier you join, the sooner you'll start collecting guild rewards and progressing faster than players who wait.
Claim Every Free Daily Reward
When you start playing Ragnarok: The New World, make sure you collect your free daily rewards every day. These rewards may look small, but they can give you useful items like Zeny, EXP items, and upgrade materials. Check the reward menus before starting your daily tasks so you don’t miss any free resources.

|
Daily Reward Task |
What You Should Do |
|
Open the Daily Rewards Menu |
Check the reward icon or event section from the main screen to see all available daily bonuses. |
|
Collect Daily Login Rewards |
Log in every day and claim your free items. Even a short login can give you useful rewards. |
|
Complete Daily Missions |
Finish simple tasks like defeating monsters, completing quests, or joining Ragnarok: The New World Daily Commissions activities to earn extra rewards. These tasks help you collect useful EXP, Zeny, and materials while making steady progress. |
|
Check Event Rewards |
Visit the event page regularly. Limited-time events often give free items, upgrade materials, and other valuable bonuses. |
|
Claim Guild and Activity Rewards |
If you are part of a guild, collect guild rewards and join activities to earn more resources. |
|
Use Rewards Wisely |
Save important materials for upgrades and character growth. Avoid spending everything immediately. |
Buy Potions with Adventure Coins
Always spend your Adventure Coins on HP and SP Potions whenever you can. You'll use plenty of potions while questing, farming, and fighting bosses, so this is the smartest way to keep your supplies stocked. Save your Zeny for gear upgrades and other important progression systems instead. This small habit will help you progress much faster in Ragnarok: The New World.
Save Your Zeny
Avoid spending Zeny on potions unless you have no other choice. Instead, reserve your Zeny for important progression systems such as gear upgrades, equipment enhancement, crafting, and skill development. Your combat power increases much faster when your Zeny goes toward permanent upgrades instead of consumable items.
Don't Waste Life Skill Energy
You can use your Life Skill Energy to do things like gathering, mining, fishing and other life skills.
These life skills will give you materials. You can use these materials for crafting or completing progression systems. You can even use them to earn some extra income with your Life Skill Energy. Don't spend your Life Skill Energy carelessly. Treat it as a limited daily resource and use it on activities that provide the best long-term value.

Buy These Weekly Items First
Make it a habit to check every weekly shop before the weekly reset. Since weekly currencies are limited, spend them on materials that give the best long-term value instead of buying random items. Prioritize essential upgrade resources first, then use any remaining currency on secondary purchases. Following this routine every week will keep your character ready for future progression.
|
Weekly Item |
What You Should Do |
|
Godforged Ember |
Buy this every week, but don't use it immediately. Store every Godforged Ember you collect and save it until you reach Level 70, where it becomes much more valuable for high-level gear upgrades. Spending it too early can slow your late-game progression. |
|
Traveler's Note |
Purchase this every week to stock up on useful progression resources. It offers consistent value and should always be one of your priority purchases. |
|
Adventure Fragments |
Buy Adventure Fragments whenever they're available. Collect them regularly so you have enough for future progression systems without needing to grind later. |
|
Oridecon |
Purchase Oridecon every week to maintain a steady supply for equipment upgrades. Having extra materials ready will make enhancing new gear much easier. |
|
Aluminum |
Always buy Aluminum before the weekly reset. It is an important enhancement material, and buying it consistently helps you avoid material shortages as your equipment improves. |
Make Use of MVP Mounts
Don't ignore MVP bosses just because they're difficult. Make MVP hunts part of your routine to unlock exclusive mounts that offer both practical and cosmetic rewards. The more MVPs you defeat, the more mounts you can collect to improve your adventure.

Use the table below to see why you should start collecting MVP Mounts as early as possible.
|
Benefit |
What You Should Do |
|
Defeat MVPs |
Join MVP boss battles whenever they appear. Team up with other players if necessary and defeat these bosses to earn progress toward exclusive MVP Mounts. |
|
Unlock Mounts |
Claim every MVP Mount you unlock. Building your mount collection gives you more options as you continue your journey. |
|
Faster Travel |
Equip your MVP Mount while exploring. Faster movement helps you complete quests, reach farming spots, and travel between maps much more efficiently. |
|
Cosmetic Flex |
Ride your MVP Mounts to show off your achievements. These exclusive mounts are a great way to stand out and let other players know you've defeated powerful MVP bosses. |
