Ragnarok X Next Generation Alchemist & Rogue Building Guide

If you're a player who likes crafting, then Ragnarok X: Next Generation's Alchemist and Rogue are going to be your favorite class. The two classes have some of the most engaging gameplay of any class in the game.

So, where should you start as an alchemist or a rogue? This article will help you determine that!

Check out the following tips on how to build an alchemist or a rogue in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX).

Subclasses in ROX

Subclasses in Ragnarok X Next Generation offer a more specialized experience for those who want to delve even deeper into the game. The two subclasses that we are going to talk about are Alchemist & Rogue.

However, they already have the main classes that they are derived from.

So, for Rogue, the main class is Thief and for Alchemist, the main class is Merchant. Let's talk about both of them and see what qualities they possess.

1. Thief

In ROX, the Thief is a single-target DPS attacker who can use powerful techniques and badass weapons to destroy their opponents. Just like in real life, the Thief class contains characters that are smart, cunning, badass, and can deal with a big amount of damage without the victims even getting the gist of the situation.

The thief class can then advance to two subclasses which are Assassin and Rogue. In this blog, we will talk about the qualities of Rogue and how to make the best possible Rogue class with the number of resources that we have in the game.

The Thief class characters have skills that include Bruce Force, Venom Knife, Ambush, and Hiding. These skills come in quite handy especially when you have to sneak kill the opponents without them suspecting anything.

2. Merchant

The Merchant class, just like real-life merchants, can make a lot of money using their discount and crafting skills. They can easily open new stalls, and sell goods, and even in a combat situation, they can use their pushcarts and beneficial axes to deal a good amount of damage. Since the Merchant class is naturally premium, the characters can equip heavy armor for protection.

They have unique skills like the Midas Touch, Cart Revolution, Crazy Uproar, and Mammonite. When we talk about their advancement in the subclasses, the Merchant class goes in two routes. The first one is Blacksmith which can further level up to Master Smith. Moreover, the last one is Alchemist which moves up to Bui Alchemist.

Each class begins at a novice level. However, when you complete the basic requirements, you can choose your first Job Class. Once you reach level 50, you can unlock the Second Job Class.

Alchemist Building Guide

The Alchemist class comes from the Merchant class. Just like their main class, they have great crafting and cart trading skills. They are the dealers of the whole money system and economy in ROX. Not only can Alchemist carry more weight than others but they also have great armor, above-average defense, and a decent attack.

They are also a great support class that can give PHY DPS buff to the team while making sure that they use useful items to turn the tide of the battle. Alchemists can also make great substances and items that are ultimately going to aid you in battle one way or the other.

Moreover, with their skill, you can also sell gear to other players and earn some extra cash.

The Merchant class in general is ideal for people who want to build strength and increase their overall other stats.

Weapons

Alchemists can use 1-H axes which improves their physical attacks and PEN stats. Moreover, 2-H axes are also available that improve the physical attacks while also increasing the haste ability once it is upgraded.

Alchemists can also use maces same as the Acolyte class. You should use a 1-H axe with a shield if you are looking for a DPS build. On the other hand, you can also use the 2-H axe for the Haste build.

Skills

With the Alchemist class, you can use Midas Touch to get Zeny. On the other hand, Mammonite is great for attacking abilities and Cart Revolution is ideal for physically damaging the opponents as well.

Rogue Building Guide

When we talk about the Rogue class, it stems from Thieves. Thieves are a bit of a weird addition in the game and the Rogue class will also move all over the battlefield sneakily. This class is all about dealing huge amounts of damage when the enemy isn't even expecting it.

Moreover, Rogue can also deal with AoE damage, they wait in the shadows so that they can make the enemy suffer.

It is also a class with a high DPS of a single target. Moreover, the best element to use with Rogue is poison since they are best to use in combat from the shadows. Rogue is also known as Crit Assassins since they rely mainly on their critical and skill combos to ultimately deal with a lot of damage. So, what's the best weapon for the Rogue class? Let's find out. 

Weapons

The Rogue Class can wield daggers to do damage By improving their physical attacking abilities along with Haste and Katars, they can become so overpowered that your lineup will become the king of attack. However, for the Rogue Class, you must increase the physical attack or PHY ATK stats to the max.

Skills

Since Rogue characters use brute force with single target damage, they are a great addition to the ROX roster. You should increase the PHY DMG and stun damage. Moreover, Venom Knife is another tool that you can use to inflict bonus damage on your enemies who are already poisoned. Along with your hiding skills, the Rogue Class becomes almost unbeatable.
