Rohan online: Refining Tips [deleveling to 17 levels]  

Posted by Irie Rastafari in

First off, let's have a short introduction about refining in Rohan online.

What is Level Refine?

Level Refine:

1. You can select to delevel an item by 1, 2, or 3 levels.

2. Each level down attempt costs the sale price of the item multiplied by the number of levels you wish to refine it, level 3 refine however costs 4x the sale price:

a. Item sale price = 1000, Delevel 1 level = 1000 2 levels = 2000 3 levels = 4000

3. If an item is de-leveled more than 15 levels, the next failed refining attempt will cause the item to break. IT WILL DISAPPEAR!

4. If a level refine attempt fails, the number you attempted to refine will be added back onto the weapon’s level. This number cannot exceed the item’s normal level though.

a. With a level 99 item, failing a refine at 99 will not add levels to the item.

b. With the same level 99 item, failing a level 3 refine at level 92 will add 3 levels to bring the item back to 95.

Now take note on case number 3, It saids that if you delevel more than 15 levels the item have a chance to break...

For example: You have an Enchanted Edwin armor which is a level 86 armor deleveled to level 71. If you delevel it any further and fail, it will break and you will lose it forever.

However, this is not the case if it's only deleveled to 72 (14 levels). If that's the case, you can delevel it by 3 more levels and it won't break since it's not on the 15 level safepoint. If you fail, it only goes back to 75. If you succeed on level 3 however, you can equip it at level 69. So there, you just have yourself an item 17 levels lower.

A path to Dragon Sage [Dekan Dragon Sage Quest Guide]  

Posted by Irie Rastafari in


Okay guys here goes the Dragon Sage Quest Guide:

1. Starting point - Haem in Rev Deca castle

2. Speak to Talia - Bindstone Downstream of Shamar River in Armenes/Rev Deca map (Coordinates: D8)

3. After speaking to Talia, go to Black Dragon Sanctuary click at the Statue of Wailing Dragon in Geizan (Coordinates: C9)

4. After that, Go see Keeper of Dragon Eyes - Guliermo at Dragon Eyes Bindstone in Via Marea (Coordinates: F2)

5. Return to Rev Deca and speak to Haem

6. Find the youngest child in Rev Deca - (Perisada is located just outside the Rev Deca castle not town; left side of the castle)

7. Go to Crystal Quarry - Kill the Phoenix Croief (located by the portal leading to the second lvl of Crystal Quarry)

8. Return to Rev Deca and speak to Haem

9. Talk to Rivyn's Conscience - location: Del Lagos - north central (Coordinates: F|G 2)

10. Find Sign of Sepa Rosa - location: Aevraum (Coordinates: C9 at top of the tower) go to Gathering Hall and ride your mount to Aevraum.

11. Go to Altar of Late King - Ferdinant's Mausoleum location:Armenes/Rev Deca Map (Coordinates: G8)

12. Return to Rev Deca and speak to Haem

13. Go to Armenes Altar; speak with Atiya - location: Armenes/Rev Deca Map (Coordinates: G5 Tip: use infernal tower portal stone)

14. Okay all the running is talking is done and lets get into the real thing. You can ask some of your friends or guildmates for assistance coz this may take a lot of effort especially if your armor is not that good and you are an int build dekan.


  • Go to Black Dragon Sanctuary (Geizan C9)- go to the last room west when you see the Shard of Baron Victor Vlen (BOSS) - you will pass through a long hallway with serpent pillagers, then will see serpent outlaws standing outside the doors to room where the Baron is (when you see these you are very close). Enter room where Baron is, go left and stay next to the wall to avoid his wrath. Go down a small ramp/hallway where you will see a large pot in the room, (leave party at this point if you have any) and double click the pot. The horseman will appear and he's no problem 1 on 1. Help may be needed to keep all the mobs off of you. Also, in this room of the BDS, a mini boss spawns (the white wolf Violence Mahopatew or something like that). If the boss is there, quickly open the pot then everyone attack the boss, if you die you can return and the horseman will be standing there and can be pulled into the hallway with a range attack thus avoiding the mobs and the boss. You should obtain a Spillproof Basin on killing horseman once.
(In my case, I bought a ninja scroll in the item mall to gain invisibility to avoid the mobs)
  • Go to Caronia's Tomb (Varvylan J6) - map of Caronia's Tomb is same as BDS so go to the same room as below. If in a party, withdraw before opening the pot. Kill horseman and obtain the Dryproof Basin.
(I bought ninja scroll too in this quest.. pretty the same even the map location and the mobs)

After that you are good as done!

15. Return to Armenes Altar - speak with Atiya (Armenes/Rev Deca G5)

16. Obtain Scale of Armenes - Look for the Sluggish Wave (location: Armenes/Rev Deca north shore of F2) There you will see 4 mobs but no worries, they are all lvl 1.

17. Return to Armenes Altar - Atiya will send you to Haem where you will be officially changed.

and poof! you are a Dragon Sage.. (take note: you need to be at lvl 54 to be in evolve mode so no Dragon form at the moment) :P

So there hope you liked it guys.. special thanks to exalt for the inputs:

DAY 1

I'm a pure vit build dekan lvl 43 at that time and I purchased a 3-day x2 exp (solo) package to enhance my gaming experience then I jumped at Infernal Tower to grind killing orc warriors and guards in the process.. as I was grinding I noticed some bots and some players grinding along with me and I played it cool not PK'ing the bots as long as they are not KS'ing or looting other players.. I grinded for a whole day and I reached lvl 47 :D

DAY 2

I did'nt slept at all so i did'nt notice that it's my 2nd day of grinding already :D and I'm starting to get tired of soloing because the exp is not that good anymore.. luckily, my guildmate invite me for a party in Rahkon 1 (dungeon with lvl 48-50+ monsters) and they have x2 party scroll package and I bought a x2 party m.kill so that rocks! heheh I spent my whole day grinding then I reached lvl 49.. unfortunately, there is a 1 hour maintenance that day so our party got disbanded.. and I decided to sleep. :D

Day 3

I only slept for 2 hours then I'm off again to grinding.. at first since the server just went up.. there are only few players online so I decided to do some quests and from there I met a player that is actually forming a party at rahkon 1 again! yey!! so there i grinded till morning again and reached level 52 and it's time for my CHANGEJOB quest!

Mass Banning in FF XI...  

Posted by Irie Rastafari in

ff7cc

just heard the news that SquareEnix banned 7900 accounts in Final Fantasy XI, and that got me thinking. Most MMORPGs have some form of permaban, and they go through banning waves where many accounts will get hit at once. Every few months a company will ban a bunch of players to combat the illegal use of their game (the FFXI report focuses on currency selling and botting). The real question is why? Why have these huge banning waves instead of just banning people as you discover they are using the game illegally?

In any MMORPG with a tradeable currency system and the ability to get really good and cool stuff with that currency, there will be people trying to sell it outside the game. Also, with any game that has a difficult levelling system (such as World of Warcraft
) or something to unlock (like Jedi in classic Star Wars Galaxies) there will be people trying to sell accounts that are max level or unlocked. People will try to use the game to make money in real life, and they will try to take advantage of the players of the MMORPG. No matter how many accounts are banned, currency selling is still a major business in almost every MMORPG, with a few exceptions.

The question remains: Why use banning waves to try and get rid of these activities instead of just shutting them down when you find them? I can't count the number of times I've seen and reported botters and people selling currency in-game. I can count the number of times those accounts were banned: zero. I have a habit of adding the botter to my friends list to see when they get banned, and have yet to see an account go grey for more than a day. Even after massive bans, they usually are still there (and still botting in the same areas). So why release these huge ban waves that don't really even do anything?
