Swordie's are very easy to play(agi type).. you can always get more pots by making novices(you'll be a pro at the rules too lol). When yr a knight Bowling bash is very good for farming and lvling. Be zenny wise till you job change after that you can have a lot of fun. Altho knights are not EXCELLENT at anything(revise) without a lot of gears they are good at everything even with crappy gears.
If you want to make money there is nothing like a 2 handed agi knight. They are the BEST at PvM solo and can kill almost every non mvp mob(including a lot of mini mvps). With a little imagination and a few gears you can kill the rest. You are not limited to targets you can hit with Autocounter, you are not limited to targets you can flee very well due to high hp+increased hp recovery, magic is also less effective against you for the same reason. They have moving hp sp recovery(fun quest) so you won't be sitting\potting much, and they can mob like crazy,
All the classes in RO have their own weaknesses and strenghts, A knight can overcome any of these with the right(albeit expensive) gears. Maybe not the best but the most versatile class. They can also equip the widest range of weapons and gears.
If you choose to go 2 handed agi I can share my stat and equip builds with you.
Good luck!!
NOTE: If you choose a melee class(swordsman, thief) and go agi, please remember 1 vit.. is NEVER a good idea :-P Start with 11 Vit, 15 dex and juuuussst pump agi(with str a close second). More info on request.
Archers are good but as a hunter to be versatile you MUST trap. And both traps and arrows cost zzzzzzz. btw its OK to be broke we all were at some point(I'm still broke lol).
If you choose a mage or a support class, you shud still make a decent solo pvm char to farm, get zenny and equips for yr main, and satisfy bloodlust at random..xD
This game has a learning curve, if you screw up don't feel bad or be afraid to ask for help we're all here just for that. I screwed up all my chars loads of times before i got it right; but then again perhaps you won't be as slow as me
Live and learn!
