RO2 Guide : Wolf Cave Dungeon

Although there are 2 dungeon before this one, Trauma dungeon and Culvert dungeon, i would consider Wolf Cave as the first real dungeon. The first two dungeon is considered as introductory because you can clear them easily alone, does not matter what class you are (however, Hard Culvert is still hard, no way to solo).

If you follow the quest flow, you will eventually get some quest with the initial [Dungeon]. If i am not mistaken you will be around level 17-20 at that time. However i recommend to level up a little bit as doing dungeon at low level is gonna be hard, especially without proper equips.

I always skip dungeon before, because it is hard to get party. Getting into a party is one thing, getting healer is even harder. Yes, you can skip and proceed to other map or quest without doing dungeon. However, i always found myself to be under level . I ran out of quest, and there are no new quest available, not until you reach the next level. So it is recommended to do dungeon , although doing them a little bit later is fine.

So, why you should do dungeon ?

  1.  Quest and experience.- [Dungeon] Quest gives more experience than normal quest
  2.  Guranyang statue - Most [Dungeon] Quest reward gives statue, more at  Guranyang . *wolf cave does not give statue 
  3.  Dungeon Equipment - The bosses inside dungeon  drop Blue Equips with rune holes. Random part and class
  4.  Khara Quest and title. - Khara Quest for Dungeon will reward you with awesome title .
  5.  To unlock more quest.- More story quest continuation after you finish [Dungeon] quest.


There are 3 normal quest you can obtain from Prontera Field map.


  1. [Dungeon] Leader of the Rackufs.
    Get rid of Rackuf trainer 0/3
    Get rid of Red Scar.

    Rackuf Trainer are normal monster, run around to kill 3. There are a lot of them around. Red Scar is the final boss, make sure you does not die when your team kill it.
  2. [Dungeon] Pride of the Collector
    Get Adventure King's Collection - 0/2

    Kill the poporing king and loot this item. Because the poporing king is a boss, and only 1 of it spawn, you will need to do Wolf Cave twice to complete this quest. Doesn't matter if you die as long as you come back and loot its body later.

  3. [Dungeon] Spider in a cave
    Get Araknoa Fang - 0/2

    Kill Araknoa (Boss) twice and loot him. Also require you to do Wolf Cave twice.
There are also 3 Khara Quest for Wolf Cave Dungeon :
  1. (Dungeon) True Adventurer of Wold Cave is moi!
    Challengeable level : 17
    Reward : 30 khara point

    Hunt Adventurer Poring 0/3 - [Normal monster]
    Hunt Lost Poporing 0/2 - [Normal monster]

  2. (Dungeon) Eliminating cobweb of Wolf Cave
    Challengeable level : 17
    Reward : 30 khara point

    Hunt Cave Spider 0/3 - [Normal monster]
    Hunt Aracnoa 0/1 - [Boss]
  3. (Dungeon) Red Scar story - Hidden Quest , will unlock when you kill him once.

    Reward : Title : Crimson Hunter

    Hunt Red Scar 0/2 - [Boss]

    (Dungeon) Red Scar story

Wolf cave map and route

The red line is the recommended route, the fastest to get to all boss . You can wander elsewhere of course, but there is no point in doing that.

        Green x - Adventurer King Poporing
        Blue x - Aracnoa
        Red x - Red Scar

Just make your way to the first boss, make sure to only lure and kill 1 or 2 at a time.


Adventurer King Poporing


Green colored with classic mustache  King Poporing
HP     : 31400
Skills : 


  1.  Transform - Turn you into a poporing for a short duration making   you  useless.
  2.  Poison Pool - As in picture, he summon poison pool, which deal damage as  long as you stay in

Killing this boss is easy, just make sure to stay out of poison pool. Nothing you could do about the transformation skill. Kill the minion when he summons them, and make sure healer is not attacked. Tanker focus on boss and lure him out of poison pool so others could continue hitting him. Don't forget to loot him for quest item. 


Aracnoa





HP     : 31400
Skills : 


  1. Poison spurt - He spurt poison around his body, aoe skill. 
  2. Spider Web - Spawn spider web around his body
    Spider web
This one is easy to kill. He occasionally spurt poison, and it doesn't hurt so much. Spider web only slows your movement speed, so staying inside the area should be no problem. 






Red Scar


Red scar


HP     : 39500
Skills : 

  1.  Aoe stun - Stun everyone around
  2.  Earthquake - Red Scar summon a crack on floor and deal continuous damage
Earthquake skill
This boss is quite hard, his aoe earthquake deal a lot of damage quickly. Just make sure to stay away from the crack on the floor. Tanker should lure Red Scar away from the area. His aoe stun is also dangerous, especially when he suddenly change target and goes for healer. Plus , he deal a lot of critical , make sure tanker can cope up and ready to re-provoke .



Rewards

RO2 : my Beast-master

After shooting arrows for quite some time, i finally reach level 25 and did my beast-master quest. The quest is quite simple and  straightforward. Now i can transform into a bear!

Cute bear
This is the reason why i want to be beast-master, Bear Form .I could become a cute but violent bear. This transformation will increase physical attack power by 30% at level 5. Yeah, sweet 30% !! 

Brutal Grizzly Bear. 
This one, not so cute with all the scars all over. This is the Grizzly Form. At level 5 it add 65% hp, 50% def and 300% threat. This transformation allows BM to become a good tanker, because of BM's large hp pool  and more threat. In this game , BM got the highest hp, but defend wise, monk and knight still win. Which one is the best? I am not sure, depend on the situation and individual. BM's mob control is also poor due to lack of aoe skill.  However BM have healing capabilities from skills such as Cruel Bite and  Survival which may contribute to survival. 


Tiger form. This transformation give BM's 150% moving speed. That is 10% higher than the npc pecopeco, but i dont find that interesting. In this mode, you cant use any skill. However, the extra moving speed is valuable as you can use them in dungeon, unlike mount. This skill is also useful for pvp, which allow BM to chase or get close to range classes. 


My current skill. If you don't know yet, after job-change  all your archer skill-point will be reset . You cant add any skill from archer tree anymore . This only apply for beast-master and monk. Why?, because these 2 class are completely different from their first class. Archer is range dps class, while beast-master is melee   While acolyte is magic range, while monk is physical melee. 


Short video on beastmaster game-play. Feel awkward playing melee after getting used to archer range attack.  =)

RO2 : Pandora's Box guide and result from 5 Pandora's key


Where to get Pandora Keys?

From Kafra Item Shop (Item mall using real cash). At the bottom right of your screen. Look under 'Item List > Convenience' .
Refer here for detailed guide Pandora keys

Pandora Keys price ?

680 RO2 Cash.  1RO2Cash = 1 @Cash Refer to Asiasoft Cash

How much is 1 @Cash?

10,000 @Cash price is Rm25.00 from Mol point . RM25.00 is roughly 8USD or 10SGD or 328 Philiphine Peseo.

Where to get @Cash?

I trust Mol Point  and Seagm . Of course there are many other providers.

Any other ways to open Pandora's Box ?

Yes, you can use Pandora Mallet to open Pandora's Box. Left Click on Mallet then left click on the box

Where to get Pandora's Mallet?

Monster drop them as easy as Pandora's Box. Or you could buy from Kafra Servie. The one you talk to open inventory or save point. Not the transportation Kafra.

So, whats the different between Pandora's Key and Pandora's Mallet?  

Obviously the rate, you good stuff easier using keys. Some item are exclusive to Pandora's key. I never get Epic weapon using mallet. Mind you, the stats is superb and better than level 45 weapon , and you can use Pandora's Weapon at level 25.

I tried 5 Pandora's Key to open Pandora's box, and get these stuff
  1. Pandora's Bow 
  2. Claw of the Ferocious Pandora
  3. Zeny Bag (10 zeny)
  4. Spear of the Ferocious Pandora
  5. Pandora's Shield
I only can afford 5, so thats it. No epic weapon. 

Looks like it is easy to get weapon using keys. But how easy compared to mallet?
  1. Eternal Life Crystal (V)
  2. Sword of the Ferocious Pandora
  3. Butterfly Wing
  4. Pandora's Claw
  5. Pandora's Rod
  6. No-Share Noodle
  7. Wool Cloth
Less colourful, and there's 2 weapon. Unfortunately all the weapon are untradable

What to do with extra unused Pandora's Weapon?

Sell them, they cost more than 1 Zeny each . Profit!

List of item from Pandora Box using Mallet on 17/2/13 while hunting for weapon 
50 Pandora's Box



RO2 : Finally. Spear of the Ferocious Pandora

Recently RO2 update bring a new feature into the game. Pandora Box! Can be obtained from any mobs in the game(they doesn't stack =.=). To open them you could use either Pandora's Mallet or Pandora's Key. Pandora's Mallet are also dropped by monster and are also sold by Kafra NPC for 1 Zeny. While Pandora's Keys are sold in Kafra Item shop (Cash Mall).

Obviously, opening Pandora box using key enable you to get better item or have higher chances of getting better item especially weapon. Pandora box only gives weapon,accessory and food so far . Epic purple weapon could only be obtained by key. While rare blue and green appear from both mallet and key, with higher chances if you are using keys.

Amazingly, the weapon obtained from Pandora got superb stat with level 1 requirement. However, the weird thing is, all of them are specific to second class job, which mean we can only use them at level 25 after job-change. Another down side is, there are bounded to character, they cannot be traded or sold to other players (sell to npc is possible ). Means, you are forced to sell all those epic weapon you could not use.

After opening a lot of Pandora, i finally manage to get beast-master weapon for my future bear. Look at the stat, that is even better than level 40 weapon. Unfortunately i am still stuck at level 22. I should get my ass to level 25 and bash some monster with this spear. (i know purple is better, but i am happy with this one for now).

Below is comparison between a normal bow which was obtained from quest and a green Pandora bow. I choose the level 23 bow because it is close to job change (level 25). This shows how amazing the Pandora's weapon compared to normal weapon.

 Look at the Attack Power. Cool right?
