More Gameplay Tips
Tip 1: Equipment is the very beginning of your customization. As you complete levels you'll earn more equipment than you know what to do with, so set the game to auto-sell the weakest equipment - the white color and, if you're advanced enough, the green color. Keep the other stuff around for smelting, or if you really want to load up on the smelt points, keep it all and smelt it all.
Tip 2: Smelting points are earned when you smelt together up to six pieces of equipment at a time. Sometimes, you'll earn new equipment from doing the smelting, which can then be equipped on your character. Otherwise, you'll just earn smelting points, which will allow you to forge new items that you wouldn't normally be able to earn elsewhere.
Tip 3: Whenever you're ready to fight the boss and move on to the next level, go to the battle area and hit the challenge button to fight the battle. You'll win the vast majority of them early on, but as you progress you'll start to find some of them that you can't beat. That's when you'll have to fight through the stage for awhile, get money and equipment, and power up before you move on.
Tip 4: As your job level grows, you'll be able to progress and change your job. When the job bar hits level 10, you'll be able to go from novice to a new job, and then once the job bar hits level 25, you'll be able to move on to an even more advanced job. With the job comes new perks, as well as new skills that you can put into use during battle - automatically, of course.
Tip 5: Challenges as many bosses as you can as quickly as possible so that you can unlock the rest of the game. For example, once you pass level 10 on the map, you'll be able to unlock attributes. Once you beat level 20 on the map, you'll unlock the ability to bring pets with you into battle.
Various Gameplay Tips
Tip 1: Ro: Idle Poring gets off to a rather slow start. For a good portion of the beginning of the game, you'll just be waiting for your character to mow down low level enemies. Leveling up actually doesn't grant you that big of a stat boost - your power is more influenced by your gear. Make sure you check on your hero screen every now and then. If you see a red notification symbol, that means you've picked up a new piece of gear. Equip it right away to take advantage of your newfound power!
Tip 2: You gain attribute points every time your base level goes up. You can spend these points in the Hero menu to increase your base stats, but you only get a few points per level so make sure you choose wisely! If you're unsure of how to build your character, simply tap on the recommended button for the game to automatically assign your points for you, based on your current job. Unless you're going for a specific build, we recommend just sticking to the recommended attribute points to ensure your character is balanced.
Tip 3: You're going to get a lot of gear from killing random monsters, so make sure you're smelting often. Smelting at the Smith will destroy your old, unused gear in exchange for smelting points. The rarer the gear, the more smelting points you'll earn back. You can spend these points to forge a really good piece of gear, so be sure to smelt often.
Tip 4: You will start to learn active skills once you undergo your first job change. Skills are the defining aspects of a job! A Swordsman's trademark technique is Bash, a hard-hitting strike that deals a lot of damage. Mages can be seen slinging elemental bolts of their choosing. Your hero will automatically use these skills as they're available during combat, and they can really help take down enemies fast. Each skill has a unique property to it, so be sure to study up and equip the right ones. Skills that have some sort of crowd control, like stunning capabilities, are extra helpful and you should try to always have those equipped.
Tip 5: You can bring two pets to fight alongside you once you're high enough level. They provide passive stat boosts, and feeding them will make them stronger in that regard. Don't forget to feed them and level up them - they're just as important as your hero! The passive boosts are incredibly helpful to have.
