How to Create the Best Merchant Build in Ragnarok Origin

Since you have completed the tutorial and learned some basic skills as an adventurer you should be at level 10 and ready to choose your class. This is a big decision and your choice really depends on your personal play style and if you prefer to play solo or with friends (or both!)

Merchant Stat Build

If you have chosen to be the Merchant as your first job you are likely to be focussing mainly on Team play but can battle well through Solo play. The Merchant’s strengths are in loot and item appraisal and repair, as well as raking in the cash. Don’t under estimate them in the battlefield, however, as they can have excellent heavy armor and strong melee weapons.

Some stats are not useful to a class who prefers to be up close and personal like the Merchant. INT is mainly for magic-focussed heroes, and although VIT may be useful for the max. HP boost, it is not what we would recommend focussing on. Instead, a Merchant should be spreading their Attribute Points on DEX, STR, and AGI.

This stat spread will help you build a strong Merchant (base level 10) who progresses into a Blacksmith as a second job (base level 40), and then a Whitesmith as their third and ultimate job (base level 70).

All Ragnarok Origin available stats

As you play and level up you will accrue Attribute Points which you spend on raising your stats. It is not recommended that you spend your points on every stat on the board, however, but instead focus on strengthening stats specific to your class. The available stats are:

• STR – to increase melee weapon damage and max. inventory weight
• AGI – to increase attack speed and FLEE (the ability to dodge some attacks)
• VIT – to increase max. HP, defense, and HP regeneration
• INT – to increase magic attack, max SP, and SP regeneration
• DEX – to increase damage of ranged weapons, casting speed and hit chance
• LUK – to increase critical rate and critical defense

How to level up in Ragnarok Origin

Get more Attribute Points to spend on stats by levelling up as much as possible. You can level up quickly by doing any and all of the following:

• Quests: do any of your Daily Quests that reward you with EXP, take part in Story Quests, Side Quests and Adventure Quests as they award EXP even when you are fatigued.
• AFK Grinding: grind until your Combat Time has run out to earn EXP. This could be done before doing some of the questing as your character will be fatigued after hours of grinding but still available to do some side quests.
