Whats a good class for solo play?

[Koji Phoenix]

i was thinking of playing again and i was wondering whats a good class for solo play? thanks in advance

[eugene]

play hunter class) it's pretty good for solo plaing/

Depends on how far you want to solo-level. There will come a time once you get your character to 3rd class (Rune Knight/Royal Guard, Guillotine Cross/Shadowchaser, etc.) and solo-leveling will suck immensely.

Otherwise, here's my recommendation:
- AGI/Dex Knight or Crusader classes (Good HP pool, accomodating skillset (2H Quicken/Spear Quicken), and HP recovery saves potions.)
- Thief classes (High flee, low maintenance - unless you're aiming for a bow Rogue)
- AGI Monk (recommended!) (Self buffs, self-heal, and comes with Teleport ; low cost and high survivability in grinding)

Mage class is cool for solo. Mandragoras-Floras-Greatest Generals-Geographers

[Rossie]

Assuming that you're interested to play as one of the expanded classes, get a Soul Linker and level that char as a Battle Linker. As soon as you change to a Soul Linker, you don't really need to use any potions.

hmm well i never made a monk before so that seem interesting and of the theif class which do you recommend? do i might make a monk what a good place to start training a acolyte?

edit: btw how should i put my stats?

any thief class, because of the passive dodge skill, the class is pretty cheap. and the way everything is overpriced in this game you going to need every zenny you can save.

Renewal has marked a lot of equalization; So stats aren't as super stressed, even the agility classes aren't as OP. (They're easier to hit, require a bit more devotion, but still are above-par in single target prowess)

For a monk, stick to Payon; Either the caves to the north with undead things [That receive damage reductions/bonuses from your anti-undead/demon passives] or the forest to the east. (Although that one's a bit crowded)

There are a lot of builds for monks, I've found they can be really tough to stick to if you don't have adequate gear. Eden group's questline will equip you with some pretty decent stuff now, although the newbie academy is a pain.

My recommendations would be either for agility, as a combo monk primarily.
Try to balance out str / agi / dex in a 2/2/1 or 1/2/1 format.

Vit is mostly an MVP and tanking build. With both builds, if you -want- some int, you can. However this one it's a bit more viable.
Str / Int / Vit / Dex - In my personal opinion. 3 - 1 - 3 - 2

Check out the class section on the main page regardless, each class is able to hold its own now since renewal. Mages and priests I'd say are most difficult because of specific restrictions in areas they level well; Simply because of their playstyles. Assassins are still fairly solid and majorly popular along with hunters.

Recently I've taken a shine to playing a bow rogue. ;3 Hope you have fun in RO.

what place to you reccomend a lvl 10 thief outside of morroc?

[Armored Gato]

south, picky and drops. i would advice you go outside prontera instead though, rockers can help you hit 20-25 fast. best bet as well is consult your map and click the poring on the bottom right corner, it will give you a summary of monster levels per area.

[DjayO]

Take advantage of the Eden Group as well. There are signboard quests from lv1-11, and 11-25. The 11-25 range also includes hunting quests for Rockers, so might as well get some extra exp out of it, no?

These signboards are, unfortunately, in the super-crowded room of Eden. Head north and look for the signposts sitting in a line of each other. That is, after you register yourself with the group at Headquarters, of course.
