First, it helps if you are used to solo leveling in an mmo environment. It is certainly fun to level in groups and chatter but I was mainly interested in learning how to solo my way through the game in what would be a most enjoyable and natural route for my own play style. I tried throwing my points into healing and buffs a bit and found I died fairly quickly, so I decided around level 100 to become a full battle cleric to help my survivability.

This is the build I was using when I reached level 230

Now some of this can be moved around a bit. I rarely used Mana Wave, and I usually forgot to use Sleep although it probably would have helped me survive a couple of times when I pulled more than I could handle. For the most part I used my swords to keep aggro to myself to a minimum and pulled one or two mobs at a time, using mana shield and food with bigger groups and Captain or General level mobs. I’m not going to lie, having reinforced gear helped a lot as well, and I leveled a lot during weekend and the share-a-thon events as well. I occasionally used boosters, but only what I picked up along the way from events. There were a couple of times someone would buff me, but towards the end, especially once I hit Orlo, that wasn’t necessary and I soloed through the last 30 or so levels killing Terrasaurus and Snappers without buffs for the most part.

For Stat Points, I maxed out INT then spread my points out around Dex, Con and Sen (with perhaps a little more in DEX than the other two)

With this build I was able to solo level with relative ease, including the Faith Quest that was needed to get into Orlo at the time. There are definitely a lot of other builds that would work, but this is what I used and it worked for me! If you have any feedback for me on this or have a build that works for you that you would like to see highlighted, send me a message on the forums!

Next ROSE Online blog post I am going to talk about the Cleric Ice Dragon build!

This last week was a big week for ROSE Online videos and livestreams, with three new ROSE videos on the Warpportal Youtube Channel!

First, the ROSE Online Winter Q&A video was posted! Check out ROSE player questions being asked and answered here.

On Monday, 1/09/2017, ROSE Online had an Orlo preview livestream, where I was able to show off some of the awesome gear, weapons and zone updates coming to Orlo with this months highly anticipated Orlo Update! We also gave away some Winter Boxes in a Livestream Raffle for those hanging out with us in Junon Polis! If you missed it you can still see all the new content previews here.

I have also started a video on how to create a stuffed animal of the ROSE Online critter Choropy! If you want to see how to create your own plushie, you can start along with part one of the Choropy making process here.

On to the events!

A challenge has been issued across ROSE Online! Only the best and bravest of Roserians can meet it! Its the…

Complete the special bonus event challenges every day PER CHARACTER to get extra honor points, valor points and premium point per character per day! Starting now 1/11/2017 – 2/10/2017! That’s a lot of extra stuff! Check out all the details on our official ROSE Online Challenge Bonus Event page. *All of the rewards go out at the end of the event

We did note that the Arua’s Fairy on that island is a bit bloodthirsty. Those poor Scuba Moldies looked much the worse for the wear upon being ‘pranked’.

I hope everyone is enjoying their time on Birth Island and catching lots of Rubber Duckies, and is ready for the 12 Day of Christmas to kick off!

I don’t know about you guys, but I love the costumes in ROSE Online! This month we have some old favorites back in the rotation, as well as the all new Howling Wing sets. I was very lucky, when spinning I managed to get my favorite of these wings, the Amethyst Howling Wings.

Here is my soldier in my favorite set in the Lucky Spin right now. I tried on a couple of hats that would match this set, but ultimately though the charming school costume and howling wings with  the soldiers helm mismatch had a sort of charm to it.

My second favorite costume set in so far this month is the Tenjin Costume! While I think I like the Ninja Costume better on my Raider, the Tenjin mask is maybe one of my favorite face masks!

Do you have a favorite costume or set yet for November? I’m excited to see what the new designs look like in game as well once they are here! I’ve definitely saved up some spins for the new lucky spin costumes this month, as well as to try my luck on more of those awesome Howling Wings!

Shortly after the TRex discovered me.

ROSE Online is a magical place, with beautiful backdrops and adorable creatures. I love how many choices there are leveling, how you can explore and adventure in so many different ways! Of course, that also means that at times, I find myself in the quandary of wanting to explore it in TOO MANY ways.

Right now I’m working on my trusty knight (featured below). She is a lvl 44 Soldier whose path I have not entirely decided on. Maybe she will be a valiant knight. Maybe I will decide she will go an entire different route once she gets to 100…only time will tell.

But this is not the first Visitor I have explored through ROSE Online with.

This is my Cleric. Battle Cleric to be exact. She is the first character I really started leveling with. She hit 200 about a month ago, and I haven’t really played her much since then (you can probably tell since she is still in her lovely pirate garb. Why have I stopped leveling this lovely ROSE Cleric so close to having reached max level you ask?

Enter the Raider.

I don’t even remember when or why I created her, but the draw of dual wielding in this fantastic ninja costume was too much to resist. I mean, look at how awesome she looks! She is only level 108 but I love her.

These are not my only characters. I have another Hawker, another Muse, a dealers and another Soldier. Sadly  (or luckily?) I cannot create more characters on this account, which only means the urge to log into my Steam account and start creating characters is growing…
