This character is made in the Ragnarok Thai Server under the Revo Classic rate.

Health Recovery:  Red Potion vs Meat?

 Red Potion

Purchase: 50z

Heal: 45 - 60 Hp (vitality modification not applied)

Weight: 7

 Meat

Purchase: 50z

Heal: 70 - 100 Hp (vitality modification not applied)

Weight: 15

Since you won't be carrying so much stuff and with your 20 strength carrying the meat won't be a problem. It it has a better heal rate than the red potion on a similar prize. 

Equipment:

Thief just needs a weapon, everything else is optional during this stage. As you can see I am using a gladius but a +7 stiletto will have a better damage.

Stats and Skills:

Started with: 9 STR, 9 DEX and 9 AGI

as you progress... Get agility up to 20 then slowly pump your dexterity and strength to 20 once you get both to 20, just pump agility to 50.

For your skills get improve dodge to 10 then double attack to 10. Pumping dodge 1st will save you zennies because you use less potions during grinding. 

Lvl 25 - 30

Culverts 2

Just grind in the Prontera Culverts until level 25, low monster hp and you will be able to dodge their attacks easily. 

Payon Cave:

If you have a good party, Payon cave would be a good place to grind.

Poring Land:

If you are need a change of scenery Poring Land would be good place to go, poporing are easy kill, just watch out for Ghostring and Angeling

Lvl 31 - 35

Elder Willows and Smokies

Location: Right of Payon Town

Monsters: Elder Willows and Smokies, have very low HP and are easy to dodge. Prioritize killing the elder willows so that they wont be able to cast firebolt on your. Avoid bigfoot for now, since you will only damage them for 50%, so it would be a waste of time and effort to kill them. 

Notable Loots:

• Elder Willow: Trunks for Sakkat, Dead Branch (can be sold to players), Elder Willow Card (+2 int on headgears)
• Smokie: Racoon Leaf (for headgear ingredients), Kitty Band (headgear, use as ingredients for other headgears)

Byalan or Bibiland Dungeon 1 and 2

The Experiment

A solo leveling experiment in the elder willow map. Using my gladius equipped thief I was able to level from 39 - 40 in less than 30 minutes.

Thief class has a very good advantage on early stages of the game, with their high dodge rate and double attacks they can easily level up solo or in a party set-up.

Culverts
Best for Swordsman, Thief and Merchant Class
Location: Left of Prontera
Quest Needed to go inside:

Signup to Protect Prontera

Recruiter prt_in,88,105 Inside the Knight's Guild in Prontera top left corner Ingredient(s) Product(s) Not Applicable  Red Potion x 3  Milk x 1  Orange Potion x 1  Simply talk to the Recruiter to volunteer. He will give you some subsidies for your effort. He will warp you to the entrance of the dungeon at the end of the conversation. Just talk to the Culvert Guardian to get in. Next time when you want to come back, just have to talk to Culvert Guardian.

Once you complete this you will be able to enter the culverts.

It is recommended that you go to the 2nd level since the map is much smaller and easier to navigate. The 2nd level of the culverts have also a very high monster spawn rate which will be advantage in grinding. Be careful with the Thief Bugs because they automatically mob once you hit one of there kind. With a decent party you can try to venture the to the 3rd level but be very careful cause the Male Thief Bugs are hits fast, hard and are very aggressive.

Loot Info:

• Thief Bugs - Jacket[1], Iron Ore (hold on to this, can be sold to blacksmiths later on)
• Thief Bug Egg - Red Gem Stone
• Tarou - Ora Ora (hold on to this, can be use for quest or sold to other players on the later updates)
• Familiar - Ribbon [1], Concentration Potion (use it or sell), Grapes (hold on to it, can be sold to other players later)
• Spore - Hat [1], Strawberry and Blue Herbs (hold on to it, can be sold to other players later)
• Plankton - Concentration Potion (use it or sell), Alcohol (hold on for quest later)

Mandragora Forest
Best for Archer and Firebolt Mages
Location: Right of Prontera then go Up

 

A very good grinding spots for the range characters, Mandragora's are immobile monsters which the Archers (w/ level 5 vulture's eye) and Mage (level 5 firebolt) can easily snipe and kill. You can save a lot of potions with this strategy and the experience is very good in the early stages. Just be careful not to go too near to the monsters cause if you do, you will surely flinch and might die in the process. Also be alert when a shining plant spawns, kill it as soon as you see it. This is because it drops rare and expensive loots which you can sell or use later on.


Archers should equip a fire arrow for maximum damage, but if your low on zennies then a good old arrow will do.

A Mini MVP Eclipse also spawns on this map so be careful, it can easily kill you during this early stage.

Loot Info:

• Mandragora - Four leaf Clover (Ingredient for Bunny Band), Shoot (can be sold to other players)
• Shining Plant - Emperium, Illusion Flower (for Headgear Ingredients)

Rocker Forest
Best for All Classes, specially with a full party.
Location: from Prontera go Down then Left



A map with fast spawning rockers and poporings. Very good place to grind specially if you have a full party. Spread out and kill all rockers and poporings you can see, you will be able to level up 3-5 levels per hour on this map. The only disadvantage on this map is that it's loots are very bad..

Loot Info:

• Rocker - Green Fillers (cheap headgear, low defense... sell if someone is interested) 
• Poporing - Grapes (can be sold to other players)

Payon Cave
Best for Archers, Mage(soul strike), Priest (Full Support)
Location: from Payon go up then Enter the Cave


A not so easy but fun place to grind. You will surely meet friends and help each other here because most monsters are aggressive. A party with a full support is highly recommended because of the high respawn rate of zombies and familiar.

Loot Info:

• Zombies - Cursed Ruby (Can be sold to other players for Quest and Headgear Quest), Opal (can be sold to other acolytes for skill quest)
• Familiar - Ribbon [1], Concentration Potion (use it or sell), Grapes (hold on to it, can be sold to other players later)
