Thx bro for the additional tips ill experiment a little and use some of themYou cant play this game 100% f2p.... theres gonna be some things you just need to buy. Even at the end of my rohan days I budgeted out $30 a month (to charge 2.5k rps after the fees/currency rate).
While there are ways to earn ecash (which is rps from the EM.... has higher prices than charged RP) there are some things that you cant justify buying for ecash like scrolls and some of the special packs. Generally I would just cut as many corners as I can as well as farm with multiple characters (theres a bot inside the game called hunter kit which you can buy from sundries merchant).
1st: Onyx is still one of the best ways to make ecash in rohan (at the time of writing this post 100 onyx sold for 1400 ecash) I would grind 16 hours a day with 2 chars (the dungeon is not easy to survive in when u got 1 char with what I call "alt gear so I use 2")
2nd: Make your own lvl 7s and learn the korean ses trick. I usually spent 1 week of every month grinding chars in forgotten fortress to get white (tradable) ses. There also used to be an event where the GM would drop like 20-30 of them and I would pick up an easy 5-10 every week. These white ses can be fuzed into ancient ses which can be used to make lvl 7s. With the secret im-not-gonna-tell-you-how korean ses trick I can make those chance based ancient ses 100% chane instead.
3rd: Do daily tasks. Instance dungeon is one of those things you should do daily (make sure to bring a lvl 91 to give you a chance for a perfect fragment after you kill the boss), the intermediate instance dungeon is also something worth doing (especially when there are lvling events and the price of twins goes up). I know a lot of friends who would do the minor instance dungeon (lvl 30) just to get their hands on some teardrop boxes (they will always sell and sometimes you will even find the EM is sold out!) Ashkeena is another daily thing you should do since a fox pet can be worth a pretty penny and each ashkeena kill brings you closer and closer. Other things to do are Power arena, survival arena and clashing battlegrounds. I used to bring 8-12 chars to clashing battlegrounds every week, the sprint scrolls are a great reward that are also easy to sell.
4th: Do every event. Events give free IM stuff why wouldnt you wana do them? If you can multilog and the prizes are tradable register 2 accounts or 3 or.....8-12 like me.
5th: Make a routine to look for openings. This is going to be a long list of **** that you can do.
1: Check for devil pumas (two devil pumas and 2 elizabeths spawn in ronelia, the pumas have a 50% chance to drop ses and they also drop a 30 day mount which you might want to give away to friends) I extract the ses (its blue non tradable) to make enhancement crystals which you can use to make stones to + crafted gear including rings.
2: Use kiosk finder and check montt/lime for some deals. Usually these pinoy rohan players dont have any good deals.... they overprice **** and flame a lot but sometimes they are desperate and you can pick up some cheap stuff.
3: Check other bosses/minibosses (Phoenix green/Phoenix grey/Kasa/hero map bosses/tyrant/r5 minibosses the list goes on and on they all got good **** like drop talismans and flame diamond pieces and eurdromes and more)
4: Gather and craft +4 stones and more. Remember the puma blue ses extracting we did earlier? yeah well u also need grade E/B gemstone essence/diamonds/plant solutions. You can also make grade A rings (craftsman is most cost effective and likely to sell) and no-pres some +8 rings. I usually skip the hassle and make +4 stones to sell but I also spent 2 or 3 months trying to luck out on a +14 ring (back when getting to +4 was 100% which it isnt anymore).
after looking at this list.... im sad that I spent so many years doing all this **** hahaha but go for it man! i heard rohanopoly is back idk if its any good or not.
