WHAT I LEARNED IN ROHAN 2 - GUIDE (TIPS AND TRICKS)

Storyline (overview)

• The subtitles don’t provide a clear narrative plot or main story beats for Rohan 2. They mainly focus on:
  • Character progression
  • Progression systems (skills/codex/dungeons/forging)
  • Event/maintenance rollback compensation
• The only “quest” context mentioned is that players should do:
  • Main quests
  • Daily/limited subquests (unlocked quest lines progress; the speaker mentions being at a locked “third” request in Via Marea)

Gameplay highlights & progression systems

Character status / maintenance impact

• The creator (Coro) is level 36 at recording.
• A major event: maintenance rollback removed mounts and pets obtained the day before (reasons related to abuse).
• Compensation was provided, including:
  • Emergency maintenance compensation
  • Ruby-related compensation delivered again (costume/mount/pet-type rewards depending on purchase status)
• Outcome effects:
  • Combat power dropped (approximately 60k → ~52k), then rose somewhat after re-equipping.
  • Costume reset also occurred (mount/pet reset confirmed; costume reset mentioned).

Premium subscription (Cash Shop) and trading restrictions

• A premium subscription is described as mandatory/needed because without it you:
  • Cannot use the marketplace
  • Cannot crate/trade (crone trade)
  • Cannot do private trading / request trade
• Subscription perks mentioned:
  • Battle rewards not received (without it)
  • Hunting helper (limited to about 6 hours)
  • A sapphire daily attendance reward
• The speaker strongly recommends it for efficient grinding and progression.

Skills & build direction

• Key advice:
  • Invest in passive skills using skill books bought with crones (expensive but worthwhile).
  • Avoid/delay some active skills:
    • They skip “Fourth swing” because they prefer AOE (area-of-effect) play over single-target.
  • Keep certain skills only as boss-fight add-ons (e.g., “Dragon fear” and “Dragon tail”).
• Stats/build:
  • Using Dragon Sage, focusing primarily on Intelligence (pure INT).
  • Reason: INT matches their magic-based build, while overall strength is also influenced by passives, mounts/pets, armor, and codex effects.
  • They plan to invest more into active skills later after reaching Dragon Sage / second job changes (noted unlock at level 50 for Dragon Sage skills).

Codex grind (big progression value)

• Recommendation: complete Codex as much as possible when free time allows.
• Why it matters:
  • Codex provides attack power and defense bonuses.
• Example mentioned:
  • Defeating an enemy can drop a “float sculls token”
  • 1,000 tokens unlock a third-tier bonus (PVP attack +6 mentioned)

Dungeon (manual strategy)

• The speaker runs an experience dungeon quickly (target: under ~5 minutes).
• Strategy emphasized:
  • Play manually (not automated)
  • Defend a gate area:
    • Gate has HP
    • Other mobs pass by while you attack one
  • Lure mobs so they don’t break the gate:
    • Pull enemies toward you rather than letting them reach the gate.

Quests & daily subquests

• Besides main quests:
  • Always do subquests
  • A daily request with a limit (estimated around 10 per day) provides significant experience.

Forging / Combination system (enhancement + stat selection)

• Location: Menu → Enhancements → Combination
• Core idea:
  • Combine items to gain selected stat outcomes
  • Player chooses among 3 stats (example: magic crit rate / status effect rate)
• Color/rarity progression:
  • Registered success: base item becomes green
  • Combining two greens can upgrade to blue
• Flexibility:
  • Combine different weapon/armor types to transfer desired stats
  • Even across classes is possible as long as you’re aiming for the stat outcomes
• Equipment plan (example approach):
  • Wearing mostly blue items (not final yet)
  • Armor strategy:
    • Reduce damage from common monsters via defensive percent-based stats
  • Weapon strategy:
    • Prefer increasing damage toward common monsters
    • Boss damage considered less emphasized than common damage
• Stat priority tip:
  • Prefer percentage-based stats over flat HP/MP for stronger scaling later.

Enhancement safety & materials management

• Enhancement success chance is shown (example: 82%).
• If enhancement fails:
  • Item does not break
  • It only drops levels (e.g., plus 7 → plus 5)
• Plan:
  • Aim for plus 10 to plus 12 (speaker notes it can go up to ~plus 12)
• Resource use:
  • Use enhancement stones carefully
  • They accumulate crystals and salvage/dismantle unwanted item stats instead of wasting needed stones
  • Crafting/dismantling also used to obtain items (including combination stones) from crystals

Skill enhancement priorities

• During “Enhance”:
  • Their heal skill (“prayer”) leveled up.
• Plan:
  • Prioritize passive skill upgrades
  • Level active skills less until major job progression (Dragon Sage/second job), then focus active enhancements.

Pulls / eggs / mount & pet updates (key results)

• They claim compensation, then open mystery eggs:
  • Use normal eggs first
  • Then use blue compensation eggs
• Notable outcomes:
  • Mounts and pets were reset; they reopened to re-acquire them.
  • They received:
    • Ancients (at least one “Ancient” mount item; “two Asients” wording appears multiple times—some results repeat due to rollback duplication)
    • A pet reset included a return of their higher-value rare pet earlier (the speaker says the highest pet is rare)
• Pet/codex effects commentary:
  • Their Ancient pet bonus previously helped leveling quickly.
  • After rollback:
    • Ancient pet bonus cited around 22%
    • XP bonus changed: they mention XP +7 previously, now 15% as stated
  • Codex reportedly went back to 70+ again after switching pet/mount choices.
  • Overall combat power returned to around 60k, down from the pre-rollback peak.

Key tips condensed

• Premium subscription: likely required for marketplace use and trading; helps grinding via attendance/systems.
• Invest in passive skills first; delay some actives depending on playstyle.
• Use AOE-focused skills if you don’t like single-target combat.
• Codex: grind whenever possible for strong attack/defense bonuses.
• Experience dungeon: run manually; lure mobs away from the gate.
• Quests: always do main quests + daily-limited subquests for extra XP.
• Combination/forging:
  • Choose the stat effects you want; prefer percentage stats for scaling.
  • Color/rarity increases with successful combinations.
• Enhancement:
  • Failure doesn’t destroy items—it drops levels—so retry planning is safer.
  • Don’t waste crystals; use salvage for unwanted stats.
• Compensation pulls:
  • Expect repeated/partial rollback effects; compare outcomes (rarity/bonuses) before re-equipping.
