Hello everyone (including the 3% who care about WoE)! As of now the @storage command and the skill "Call Storage" are both enabled in WoE and BG and while @storage is disabled in PvP, the skill Call Storage is enabled (though I'm not including PvP as I think it's too fast paced that calling storage when being chased around the claustrophobic PvP room would be game breaking). In my opinion at least having access to @storage from within a castle or inside a BG game is a bit too convenient as everyone would essentially be able to carry around unlimited supplies of pots and not have to worry about their weight, including during a fight (the command is very convenient since you can put it on a shortcut through alt+m). Previously people would have to come into the castle or a BG game prepared, but now they just get as much as they can carry and spam pots like there's no tomorrow (that's at least what I saw in WoE tonight, which is also what inspired me to create this poll). My reason why we shouldn't leave Call Storage enabled either: Basically in WoE once a guild's castle gets attacked by a formidable foe the defending guild, assuming it successfully defended the castle, is likely to take a toll on each of the members' supplies inside their inventory. This is when people have to go back to town or bring a merchant into the castle with supplies or send someone back to get supplies for them etc. This could be a deciding moment for other opponents to take the oppurtunity and take the castle while the defending guild is running low on supplies. The Call Storage being enabled could be considered a QoL, however having to go through the hassle of resupplying through the means of opening a second client with a merchant full of supplies could still change the pace of the defending guild and ultimately affect the outcome. I think it goes without saying that if we keep @storage enabled in both BG and WoE, people who are running low on potions and consumables can easily just run away from their enemy (of course depending on their class) and open storage quickly, same can be done with Call Storage but it's a bit less convenient than alt+m-ing @storage. My question to you folk is: Do you wish to keep @storage command and "Call Storage" enabled in GvG and BG. I'm interested to see the results of the poll and to hear everyone's opinion on this matter

As a disclaimer, I made this guide to teach RO to my newbie friend who got lost with all the wiki links and database and conflicting information on the internet. ============================================================================================================== Table of Content ============================================================================================================== Character planning 000001 Classes 000002 Job Change 000003 Basic Mechanics & Tips Once you finished patching client and planned your character 000004 Server information 000005 Features Setting Up the Game UI 000006 Setting up Chatbox 000007 Setting up Battlemode 000008 Camera 101 000009 Player commands Playing the Game 000010 Places of interest & NPCs 000011 Map 000012 Quests ============================================================================================================== Chapter 1 CHARACTER PLANNING 000001 Classes ============================================================================================================== Base Class ARCHERS: THIEF: SWORDSMAN: MERCHANT: MAGE: ACOLYTE: EXTENDED CLASSES: TAEKWON KID: NINJA: GUNSLINGER: SUPER NOVICE: DORAM (SUMMONER): ============================================================================================================== 000002 JOB CHANGE ============================================================================================================== 1. type [@go office] 2.

VARIABLE CAST TIME (VCT ) is reduced by int and dex. To reduce all VCT with stats, a character need a combination of DEX and INT so DEX ×2 and INT equal at least 530 (DEX × 2 + INT) = 530. NOTE: VCT % reductions stacks. FIXED CAST TIME (FCT) is reduced by skills, equips, cards. NOTE: FCT % reductions do not stack! ============================================================================================================== Once you finished patching client and planned your character 000004 SERVER FEATURES ============================================================================================================== After you have finished patching your client and planned your first character, You will need to make three two big choices. Choose a server Choose a gender Choose your baserates <--Check out Advanced Looting System below As you will notice by now, SMRO has two different servers, each with their own set of customization. You can either join the cool server Nifflheim OR You can join the maso server Helheim Personally, I would advice new players to play in Nifflheim because Refining equips is much easier in Nifflheim. We have costume enchants. Some of the custom features in Nifflheim such as spiritual energy really takes off all the mundane grindy feeling of RO. Custom costumes for your endgame fashion. However, Helheim has the authentic kRO experience and more players. So Choose wisely! ============================================================================================================== 000005 FEATURES ============================================================================================================== Weapon Evolution: Soul System: Spiritual Energy Limited Ores Class Mastery Custom Costumes Slot machines Advanced Looting Fortressa Dungeon and Pit World Boss ============================================================================================================== Setting Up the Game UI 000006 Setting up Chatbox ============================================================================================================== I suggest setting up the following tabs to keep yourself organized. party/guild -log your party and guild chat party loot -check out who got what drops, useful during MVP-ing loot -check out what you get, useful when spamming treasure boxes etc exp -check your exp gained. battle message -Used for calculating your dps or damage taken All chat -for everything else REMEMBER: You can set for whispers to pop up as tabs or to show in one of your tab using the options above. ============================================================================================================== 000007 Setting up Battlemode ============================================================================================================== Battlemode is an important feature that allows you to hotkey all your skills to your keyboard.
