• GOLD ROOM •

This is the guide on Gold Farming for new players. The gold room is a good place to get gold coins that you can sell to NPC's for zeny. With a few easy to obtain boss cards and use of the right job class for farming, you'll have fun getting rich.
________________________________________________________________________
1. Finding The Gold Room
The gold room can be found along an isle of server custom NPC's located South of Prontera Map's Center. You will need to pay 1,000,000zeny as fee to get inside the Gold Room and farm as much Gold Coins as you can and you may stay inside as long as you want. If you wish to go out of the Gold room, you can talk to the assigned NPC inside who will teleport you back to Prontera. 2 other ways of getting out would be the through the use of butterfly wings (can be bought from tool dealers) or logging out then logging back in.

2. Equipment / Build Note: The golden savages have pure, impenetrable Defense and Magic Defense. This means that regardless of the equipment you use or the build for the character you make, the damage you will deal on these monsters will be 1. A Golden Savage's HP is around 1,500 ~ 2,000 and their Attack average is 1,000 ~ 5,000, which means these monsters are strong and sturdy. A trick to getting the best of these monsters faster is by making them kill themselves. How? With the use of damage reflect, you can make these monsters hit you and deal damage back to them and kill them. A Job that has this ability woul be the Crusader Job Branch of the Swordsman Job Class. An alternative would be the use of Orc Lord Card (Reflect 30% of melee damage you recieve back to the enemy). Use Orc Lord Card on your armor and a good job class with massive AOE damaging skills and you'll be racking up Gold Coins easily.

Basic equipments / builds : 

 Armor - ORCLORD CARD
 Shield - GTB ( to avoid quagmire )
 Shoes - Moonlight Flower Card


 SKILLS - JACKFROST / Lord of Vermilion


Stats :
   Dex - 200 for insta-cast.
   Vit - 255 for higher hp
   Int - 100 + for sp


ENJOY FARMING~


• MONSTER ARENA •

Monster Arena is one of AstralRO's custom features. Fight and kill monsters, earn points, and cash in your lotto balls for prizes! This is where you can get most of the high-priced head gears/equips in the server. All high-ranked players have made their fair adventures inside this arena and the well-deserved prizes they got has certainly helped them become the strong players that they are, now.

Here is a guide on making your way through and around monster arena.

Picture
The NPC that takes you inside the Monster Arena can be found along an isle of custom NPC's located south of Prontera City's Center. To enter, you must pay 5,000,000zeny or get yourself an Astral Factory Permit for unlimited, free access to the arena. After paying the fee and before entering, the NPC asks you to choose a spawn point where you will be appearing once inside the arena. You can choose either North, South, East, or West. This is a mechanic that can help party-mates meet up and/or regroup once inside the arena.

This is a view of whats inside Monster Arena.
The monsters that you will find in the Arena are all MVP class monsters, including:
  • Satan Morroc
  • Ktullanux
  • Great Baphomet
  • Beelzebub
  • Gopinch
  • Ifrit
  • Arena Guardian / Bow Guardian 
  • Byorgue

Each monster you kill, except Mob/Boss-summoned monsters, gives you 1 Lotto ball that possesses an equivalent Monster Arena point. There are 5 types of Lotto ball you can get from killing monsters each having a certain equivalent of points.

  • Blue Lotto Ball (1 Point)
  • Yellow Lotto Ball (2 Points)
  • Red Lotto Ball (3 Points)
  • White Lotto Ball 30 (30 Points)
  • White Lotto Ball 100 (100 Points)

Each monster gives a different Lotto Ball when killed. Arena Guardians, Bow Guardians, and Byorgues are the usual source of the blue, yellow, and red lotto balls. MVP's, Ktallnux, Gopinch, and Ifrit gives you a White Lotto Ball 30, and Satan Morroc gives you a White Lotto Ball 100.

The best character for the job would be a Warlock since it has massive AOE spells and deals heavy damage. Here is a recommended equip set for Monster Arena Farming, although you are always free to experiment and create your own MA farming equip set.

 Equipments :

  Head : VESPER CARD - Pink Valkyrie Helm / SLOTTED HEADGEAR
  Mid : VESPER / KIEL - SUNGLASSES / Any [1] Midgear
  Lower : Spellring / Arctic wings
  Armor : Tao gunka / GR - Valkyrie Armor
  Shield : Strong Shield / Valkyrie Shield - Alice Card
  Garment : Deviling - Vmantue . Dmantue . Fmantue of seiger . Wool Scarf
  Shoes : Fallen Bishop Hibram - Dshus . Vshus . Tidal Shoes
  Accesory : Errende Ebecee/ Alligator Card - Magician Figure / Exper ring / O. gloves

Note: Even if you have the best MA Farming Equip set, Monster Arena will still be a hell hole and would require you to exert a lot of effort. Monster Arena Farming is not meant to be done solo, although you may do so if you think you can manage.

After a session of Monster Arena Farming, you can convert your Lotto Balls by talking to the Monster Arena NPC (Same one you talk to for entering) and choose an option "Convert Lotto Balls", which will consume all lotto balls inside your inventory and converts it into Arena Points. The NPC then updates you on the current MA points you have, and if enough, can be traded for awesome equips.

Prizes are:

  • Red Valkyrie Helm
  • Blue Valkyrie Helm
  • Black Valkyrie Helm
  • Pink Valkyrie Helm
  • Mystic Valkyrie Helm
  • Green Valkyrie Helm
  • Red Visor
  • Blue Visor
  • Black Visor
  • Pink Visor
  • Mystic Visor
  • Green Visor
  • Valkyrie Manteu
  • Spellring
  • Angel Wing Ears[1]
  • Evil Wing Ears[1]
  • Elven Ears[1]

 Happy Farming ~

Endless Tower can be a good place to hunt for boss cards. Golden Thief Bug, Ghostring, Deviling, Ifrit, Valkyrie Rangris, and Fallen Bishop Hibram are among the MVP's you will encounter as you make your way up to the 100th floor.
