# ExquisiteRO Beginners Guide v2

-Newbie Guide v2 by Supernova aka Matt.

***

### 🌱 1.) Begin Your Journey as a Novice!

When you create a new character in **ExquisiteRO**, you’ll automatically start as a humble **Novice**—the classic launching point for all future legends. 💫

Upon logging in, you’ll find yourself in the **Training Grounds** (`new_1-1`), where your first order of business is to talk to the nearby NPCs. 🧑‍🏫

🎁 **Claim your freebies**, including:

* 🗡️ **Sealed Angra Manyu** (for melee builds)
* 🏹 **Sealed Dromir** (for ranged classes)

These bad boys make your early grind smoother than a creamy yggberry smoothie. 🥤\
Don’t forget to grab the rest of your **Novice essentials**—you’ll need every advantage you can get.

Once you’re armed and slightly more dangerous, you’re almost ready to step into the real world.

***

### 🛣️ 2.) Choose Your Path: Train… or Teleport Straight to the Action

After grabbing your gear, you’ve got two options:

#### 🏃 Option A:

Speak to **Shion** and enter the building on your right to go through the **Novice Training System**.\
Perfect if you want the scenic route, some early EXP, or just enjoy being gently hand-held like a beloved NPC escort quest. 🫶

#### ✨ Option B:

Skip the pleasantries and warp straight to **Prontera**, the capital of Rune-Midgarts, by typing `@go 0`.\
No tutorials, no training wheels—just vibes and immediate freedom. 😎

***

### 🏙️ 3.) Prontera: Where Legends Linger and GM Hats Are Sus

**Prontera** is the bustling capital where you’ll find everything and everyone that matters. It’s got:

* ⚔️ **Job Changers** ready to upgrade your class
* 🗺️ **Warper NPCs** to zoom across the continent
* 💇 **Stylists** for your daily drip check
* 🐾 **Captain Whiskers**, merchant of fine goods and sass
* 💖 **GM Pink**, usually vibing with players, helping out, or just wandering around in a massive pink *Among Us* hat

If you see her, don’t be shy. She’s got presence, style, and probably more answers than Google. 💅

This is also where players chill, flex, argue about builds, or dramatically roleplay like it’s 2004 again. 🎭

***

### 🧑‍🎤 4.) Suit Up: Time to Look Like a Budget God

Before charging into chaos, **equip all your free gear**, including:

* 🪖 **Neo Valkyrie headgear** (Upper, Middle, Lower—it’s both fashionable *and* functional)
* 🧤 **Full Novice Set** (It gives the defense of a confused potato 🥔, but hey—it’s something)
* 🔥 **Sealed Angra Manyu** or 🎯 **Sealed Dromir**, depending on your build

⚠️ Heads-up:\
Dromir **requires ammo** and can only be used by bow-wielding classes—Archers, Rogues, etc.\
**No cheating.** No Boomerang Arrows from Acolytes, sorry. 🙅‍♀️

***

### 🐣 5.) Warm-Up Massacre: Cuddly Creatures Must Perish

We’d love to toss you into the EXP Dungeon and watch the chaos, but let’s not inflate the death counter just yet. 😂

Start with some EXP and basic stats.\
Type `@warp prt_fild08` and you’ll land in a field full of squishy little EXP piñatas:

* 🍬 **Porings**
* 🐇 **Lunatics**
* 🐛 **Fabres**

Go ahead—embrace your inner monster. Turn that field into a pixelated bloodbath. They had it coming. 😈

***

### 🎓 6.) Job Change: Time to Get Serious

Once you’ve squished enough blobs and your EXP bar’s screaming for an upgrade, it’s time to **change your job**.

Head back to Prontera (`@go 0`) and march over to the **Job Changer NPC** near the city center.

Pick your first class and **commit**.\
No refunds. No take-backs. No regrets. 🫡

***

### 💡 BONUS TIP: Dump **ALL** Your Stat Points into **VIT**

Yes. **All of them.** Don’t overthink it. Just do it. 💪

You’ll be relying on the sheer damage output of Angra or Dromir—so your **survivability matters more** than STR, DEX, or LUK.\
Unless you’re one of those classic-mode masochists… in which case, good luck. We’ll silently judge. 😏

***

### 🌀 7.) Off to the Adventurer’s Hub: The Real Game Begins

Once you’ve got your job and you’re built like a tanky menace, it’s time to head to your new best friend:

#### The **Adventurer’s Hub**.

You can:

* Type `@hub` like a functional human\
  **OR**
* Take the scenic route through the portal next to **Fred** (by the Tool Dealer in Prontera).

Yes, it’s like a weirdly specific fetch quest. Just go through the portal already. 🌀

Inside, welcome to a **high-tech fever dream** of NPCs, quests, and mild existential crisis. 🧠

***

### 🧾 8.) Say Hello to Lucy: The Gatekeeper of EXP and Regret

You’ll spot a bunch of NPCs and quest boards. Ignore the boards—they’re future-you’s problem. 😤\
Right now? **Talk to Lucy**.

She’s the one guarding the door to the **EXP Dungeon**. But first, you gotta **register your character name**.

⚠️ Warning: If you named yourself something like “`xxD3AthR3ap3rxx`” during your edgy phase…\
You’ll need to type it **exactly**—special characters and all. No mercy. 🥲

Once you get it right, Lucy will unlock your path to power (or doom, or both). 🔓

***

### 🧣 9.) Meet Henrich: Fashion Disaster, EXP Deliverer

Feeling dangerous? Then find **Henrich**—the silver-haired dude dressed in something out of a furry cosplay convention. 🐺✨

Click him ➜ Choose “**Warp to EXP Dungeon**” ➜ Boom—you’re in.

💀 If you ignored the VIT tip earlier? Prepare to die. A lot. That one’s on you.\
We warned you. We even bolded it. 💥

***

### ⚔️ 10.) The EXP Dungeon: Chaos, Carnage, and Carats

Here’s how it works:

* 💥 Mobs everywhere
* 🏹 They shoot from range
* 😐 They don’t care about your dreams

What do you do?\
**Bum-rush them with your Angra/Dromir-fueled wrath** and pray your **lifesteal keeps up**.

🎉 The EXP here is cracked. You might hit second job in like, three kills. Welcome to the speed lane. 🏎️

#### Bonus Tips:

* 📚 Use your **Battle Manuals** for extra EXP (yes, they stack, yes you should’ve been using them already)
* 💸 Got 100 million zeny? Donate it to the **World Blessing NPC** in Prontera for bonus EXP
* 💎 Kill mobs ➜ Loot **1 Carat Cracked Diamonds** ➜ Sell to NPCs for startup cash

Feeling broke? Maybe GM Pink or a rich player like **Supernova** will throw some zeny your way if you ask nicely. No promises. 🥺

***

### 🔁 11.) Grind, Job Change, Rebirth, Repeat

Here’s the loop:

1. Smack robots with ungodly force ⚙️
2. Reach Level 99 / Job 50
3. Go to Job Changer ➜ **Rebirth**
4. Become a **High Novice**
5. Repeat:
   * Warp to field
   * Squish adorable mobs
   * Job change
   * Max VIT
   * EXP Dungeon speedrun again

Eventually, you’ll hit **Level 255** and look back at your pixelated rampage with pride. 😌

It’s that simple. Brutal—but simple.\
Just like a Poring’s worldview. 🍬
