Getting Started (Novice Class): I'm just going to assume you have created the account has all the patches, and is ready to jump in the RO world. Now before you do, you need to create a character.  Once RO starts up, and you log in, you'll buy Avatar Gold see 3 empty character slots. 

Pick one (the first one is always good) and you'll have the opportunity to select your name, hair style, and starting stat points. Hair and name are up to you, of course. 

But we all know blue hair is the best. (wink wink) Also, DEX is pretty much the main stat for an archer, so that will be 9 for sure. 

But now you have 2 choices: AGI or LUK, and STR or INT? Luckily, neither is so important that if you mess up your character is hosed. It's merely a matter of personal preference. Check the stat point distribution section for more info.

Gravity also added this thing called the novice training ground. At the time of writing, they might as well of called it the Overcrowded-small-castle-click-frenzy ground. If you finally do get through the training, start in Payon, since that's where you class change to an archer.
