Basically I'm mostly wondering what classes people would choose, what mules they would make, how they would spend their vote nx and reasons / justifications behind their choices. In addition, I'm wondering what people would spend their first few mesos on in order to get an advantage in the early game. All of this assumes the goal is to get to late game where you can go on boss raids for things like horntail.
You could choose bs or other mages to start with, u can see the reasons at: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/a-simple-guide-to-money-making-targeted-towards-new-players.31951/ There's also a video I found could be helpful for new bs players(not advertising):Click Here To start an attacker character, you probably need do HP wash, which requires fund for buying washing Gear/APR/Leech, You also need much more fund to buy decent equips to be strong, In short you need alot mesos if that is your goal of playing. But playing a mage and selling leech is not the only way to fund yourself, There's a lot ways to earn mesos: Farming, Gachapon, Scrolling , Merchanting , Bossing, Selling NX/Fames, APQ/CWKPQ ... Once you saved enough fund, you can choose any job you love to play, but jobs are not balanced well , if u want to play most strong job in most cases, especially HT as you've mentioned, that should be: Night Lord, Corsair, Bowmaster/Maskman, Dark Knight/Hero Noticeably, Dark Knight and Hero are very cheap to wash and require few fund to be a decent attacker, you can start one of them and join boss raids to earn mesos/exp easily. Most mules you would make could be: HS Mule -- to get more exp when selling leech or bossing SE Mule -- more dmg for most jobs SI Mule -- useful for warrior, corsair, maskman HB Mule, haste Mule, buffing grinding or selling leech Even Farming mules to use summon skill afk farming for mesos To spend NX, either Selling APR once u reached Lv 50, or Gachapon , to get some fund to buy some gear or leech for a boost of leveling If u gonna play mage firstly, you should focus on some low level (less 50lv), all-jobs Int gear, which you could and probably would use on ur attacker character for HP washing latter, but washing is not necessary/compulsary for most bosses, you can always pt with a Dark Knight to get 60% more hp from HB, there are also HP quests , HP medals, and buffed job advancement which would give you enough extra HP to reach min HP requirement for surviving in HT at lv 155.
Start with DK, don't bother making other classes. Sell APR to get some INT gear (don't need much as a DK). Then start using your own APR to wash yourself. Solo grind all the way to 135, then you can start bossing. Easy and doesn't require start money at all. DK master race, you can solo whole game.
i wasted 2 years on this game being unfunded trash (158 hero). i shouldve just started off with making 81 hs mule then archmage asap.
APR = AP Reset - the stuff you use if you want to hp wash, or if you fucked up distributing your AP somewhere along the road. For priests, 81 is the soonest they can max Holy Symbol, the skill that gives people more exp from mobs killed.
