Ragnarok Online Philippines
It’s so nostalgic to see the “Valkyrie (9457)” in the log-in screen of Ragnarok Online. It reminds me of my old days in Chaos. The newbie grounds have become easier for newcomers. If you talk to all the NPCs, you could easily level your character up to Base Level 7 Job Level 7. Your character is also given a total of 300+ Novice Potions and a complete set of Novice Equipments which make it easier to level up.
Taekwondo Boy Ranker
Before I started playing in the Valkyrie server, I did some research and got interested with the new class Taekwondo Boy/Girl. It got more interesting when I’ve read that being part of the top 10 Taekwondo Boy/Girl gives you special benefits like x3 HP/SP and access to all Taekwondo Skills so I decided to create a Taekwondo Boy.
I reached Job level 10 in the Novice Training Grounds and deliberately answered the questions to become an archer since the change job NPC for Taekwons is in Payon.
After turning into a Taekwondo Boy, I went straight to Einbroch and leveled at the map below it. There was a plethora of monsters there (Poring, Drops, Thief Bug, Poporing, Metaling and Porcellio). I leveled there until Base Level 69 Job Level 50 (Job 45-Job 50 was in the Dungeon nearby).

In pRO Valkyrie you need REAL money to be able to get good equipment

Tornado Kick
My Partner
Since my girlfriend “forced” me to create a blog, I think it’s just fair that I ask something in return for it. I asked her to play to help me level up. I taught her how to play and chose for her to become an Acolyte to support me. Because of her, I was able to tackle Metalings earlier than I should have been able to. We both leveled up at almost the same pace. She staggered a couple of levels behind though since she dies every once in a while (trigger happy - she has this urge to hit the Porcellio).

Taekwondo Stat and Skills
Using a stat calculator I planned the following stats for my character:
Str: 80+
Agi: 80+
Vit: 1
Int: 1
Dex: 70+
Luk: 1
I may put some points on VIT and INT.
These are my current skills:
Sprint: 10
Tornado Stance: 1
Tornado Kick: 7
Flying Kick: 7
Tumbling: 1
Kihop: 5
Happy Break: 5
Peaceful Break: 5
Taekwon Mission: 1
Mild Wind: 4
I still have 3 skill points left. I still can’t decide whether I should put it on Leap or complete the Mild Wind skill.
Taekwon Mission
I tried using the Taekwon Mission skill and my first mission was a hundred Generals. Using the /taekwon command, I found out that I had to surpass 36 points. Since this can be quite difficult, I decided not to pursue the Missions until I reach level 80.
Still a long way to go but I’m still having some fun for now though the “bot” problem is still quite rampant. In fairness to LU! though, they have been trying to implement some anti-botting system which is quite effective (but sadly, when the anti-bot system was implemented during log-in you would only see “Valkyrie (4293)” which means that almost 50% of the population were bots).
