Welcome to Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) , a magical world full of monsters, quests, and epic battles! Don't worry if you're new, this beginner's guide to Ragnarok X: Next Generation covers everything you need to get started: choosing your first job, exploring the world, upgrading your gear, and more. And if you're looking to level up faster by farming EXP and resources 24/7 , OSlink makes it effortless. Let's begin your adventure!

Choose the Right Job 

Your job class shapes your adventure, deciding how you fight and play. ROX offers six starter jobs, each with a unique vibe. Here's a simple guide for your right ROX job :

• How to Choose : Love charging into battle? Try Swordsman. Want to heal friends? Pick Acolyte. Enjoy magic? Go Mage. Prefer staying back? Choose Archer. Like stealth? Try Thief. Want to craft and earn Zeny (the game's money)? Merchant's your pick!

• How to Start : Follow the main quests until level 10, when you pick your job in Prontera. Talk to NPCs at Criatura Academy to confirm your choice.

• Leveling Up : At job level 50 (check your job EXP bar, separate from base EXP), visit Alice at Criatura Academy (use the map's NPC list to find her). She'll give you a quest (eg, defeat monsters or collect items) to advance to a stronger job, like Swordsman to Knight or Crusader.
  Tip : Save potions and gear for these quests!

Learn to Use the Map Effectively

The map helps you find NPCs, quests, and shops without getting lost:

• Open the Map : Tap the map icon (top right corner) to see your area, like Prontera.

• Find NPCs : Click the NPC list (top left) and select a name to auto-walk to them. NPCs are characters like merchants or quest-givers.

• Teleport : Buy Fly Wings from the General Merchant (or use Kafra teleports in cities) to jump to places like Payon. Tap the map's teleport option to use it.

• Track Quests : Tap active quests on the left side of your screen to highlight them on the map. Tip : Check the in-game tutorial (menu > help) for map basics if you're stuck.

Buy Wanted and Sell Unwanted

Keep your inventory ready for adventure by managing items:

• Find the General Merchant : Open the map, select “General Merchant” from the NPC list (usually near Prontera's center), and auto-path to them.

• Buy Potions : Get Red Potions (heals health) and Blue Potions (restores mana for skills) to stay ready for fights. 

Tip : Buy 50–100 before farming or quests.

• Sell ​​Unwanted Items : Open your backpack (bag icon), select monster drops or extra gear, and sell to the merchant for Zeny. 

Note : You start with 100 inventory slots, so sell often to free up space!

Upgrade Your Equipment

Better gear makes you stronger for battles:

• Get a Pickaxe : Visit the General Merchant (map > NPC list) and buy a Pickaxe for mining.

• Mine Materials : Open the menu (bottom right), tap Life, select Mining, and use Auto-Path to find Veins (glowing rocks, eg, Iron Veins in Prontera). Tap to mine materials like Iron or Oridecon.

• Upgrade Gear : Go to the Upgrade NPC in Prontera (map > NPC list), choose a weapon or armor, and use materials to upgrade. Each upgrade boosts stats like attack or defense.

• Good to Know : Upgrades past +4 or +5 can fail, costing materials or Zeny. Save extra resources! Tip : Check the Academy Handbook for mining spots.

Join a Guild

Guilds give you buffs, gear, and friends to adventure with, unlocking around level 20:

• How to Join : Open the menu, tap the Guild tab, search for active guilds, and apply. Look for guilds with many members for more events.

• Benefits : Complete guild orders (daily tasks like killing monsters) to earn contribution points. Use these to unlock guild blessings (temporary stat boosts, like extra strength for Swordsmen) or buy purple gear in the guild store.

• Tip : Can't find a guild? Ask in the world chat channel for recommendations or check community forums for your server (eg, SEA or Global).

Check for Recommended Training Points

Fighting the right monsters boosts your EXP (experience points) fast:

• Academy Handbook : Open the menu, select Academy Handbook, and check monster weaknesses (eg, fire skills work great on plant monsters like Poison Spore).

• Recommended Training Spots : In the menu, tap Recommended Training Spot to auto-path to areas with monsters close to your level (within 3 levels for 100% EXP, 80% for 4–6 levels difference, 10% beyond that).

• Odin's Blessing : At level 23, tap the Odin icon (top of screen) to activate a 5x boost to EXP, Zeny, and item drops for 300 minutes daily. Use it for training!

• Prep for Battle : Buy Red and Blue Potions from the General Merchant. Party with friends (via the Party tab) for bonus EXP.
  Tip : Use LDPlayer on your PC with OSlink to auto-farm monsters overnight. You can also set up an auto-clicker script to allocate stat points and change farming locations at intervals, so you won't have to constantly check back.

Complete Daily Quests

Daily quests are an easy way to earn EXP and Zeny:

• Find Quests : Open the menu, tap Carnival, then Mission Board. Use auto-path to claim up to 10 quests (reset daily at 5:00 PM server time).

• Tasks : Explore areas or defeat monsters, with quests shown on the left side of your screen.

• Rewards : Get Base EXP, Job EXP, Zeny, and Odin's Blessing points. Tip : Do all 10 daily to level up steadily. Check the Carnival Menu's help section if confused.

Follow Chamber of Commerce Missions

Chamber of Commerce (CoC) missions, unlocked at level 25, offer big rewards:

• Access Missions : Open the Carnival tab, select CoC Missions, and pick tasks like deliveries or monster hunting. These reset weekly.

• Rewards : Gain EXP (eg, ~27,500 at level 40, more at higher levels), Zeny, equipment, headgear, or cards. 

• Tip: Save high-level missions for the end of the week for better payouts, as rewards scale with your level. However EXP values ​​may vary by server or update, so check in-game.

Equip Cards 

In Ragnarok X: Next Generation Cards give your gear a major power boost:

• How to Get Cards : Defeat monsters (eg, Lunatic for Lunatic Card, +1% CRIT), buy from the Exchange Center, or earn via Card Albums from quests and daily sign-ins. Note : Drop rates are low (~0.01%), so be patient.

• Equip Cards : Add cards to weapons, armor, or headgear with slots. Use a Socketing Stone (purchased from NPCs or the Exchange Center) to add slots to gear without them.

• Why It Matters : Cards boost stats like ATK, CRIT, or resistance, making you stronger in battle.

Challenge MVPs

MVP bosses are tough but drop rare loot like cards and gear:

• Find MVPs : Open the menu, tap the MVP tab (boss icon), and check spawn timers (every few hours). Use the World Map to auto-path to the boss's location.

• Team Up : Form a party (menu > Party tab) with healers (Acolyte) and damage-dealers (Mage, Archer). Guilds often plan MVP hunts via chat.

• Revives : Carry Leaf of Yggdrasil (buy from General Merchant) to revive teammates in battle.

• Beginner MVPs : Start with Moonlight Flower (Payon Cave) or Eddga (Payon Forest) for easier fights. Tip : Watch world chat for MVP spawn alerts.
