• farming ♡ bg ♡ abra (somewhat) ♡ how to obtain min-max gear (kinda) and more! ♡ •
。*✧♡* pls enjoy (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡✧*。
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to my first guide!
I decided to make this since I like to help farm for guild supplies and stock up on my own whenever I’m low on a certain resource. :>
I tried to make this as detailed as I could so those who aren’t entirely familiar can follow along and understand.
This is something that I definitely would've liked to have when I first came back to Blackout RO. Hopefully this will help any old and/or new players!
I sprinkled in a bit of everything, so it's not just entirely a farming and zeny guide. Sorry if this seems all over the place. LOL
Feel free to use RateMyServer as a supplement to this guide.

1. Recommended Classes for Farming: 
*NOTE: If you’re curious about certain skills, feel free to check here for Blackout RO customized skill changes, and RateMyServer for official RO skill guidelines.
- - - - -
1 — High Wizard/Baby Wizard
*NOTE: Soul Drain and Amplify Magic Power are NOT available on Baby Wizard.

- - - - -
1 — High Wizard/Baby Wizard
*NOTE: Soul Drain and Amplify Magic Power are NOT available on Baby Wizard.
- Arguably the most versatile class. Mostly an all around class to play, has both Mobbing and Individual Target skills. You’re able to cast a Mobbing skill (as listed below) and then teleport away as the mob takes damage. There’s no having to constantly target a mob until it dies. (Unless you really want to, or the mob doesn’t instantly die after casing an AoE skill.)
- Viable Skills:
- Mobbing/AoE:
- Storm Gust (also known as SG)
- Meteor Storm (also known as MS)
- Lord of Vermillion (also known as LoV)
- Individual Target:
- Fire Bolt
- Cold Bolt
- Lightning Bolt
- Jupitel Thunder - constantly spamming on mob or player will push mob/player back a distance.
- Skill Facilitators:
- Sight - find mobs that use “hide”
- Energy Coat - drains sp to reduce damage from physical attacks
- *Soul Drain - for every mob you kill, you get a % of SP back.
- *Amplify Magic Power - amplifies spell damage
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2 — Sniper/Baby Hunter:
*NOTE: Baby Hunter does not have Sharp Shooting, Wind Walk, or True Sight.
2 — Sniper/Baby Hunter:
*NOTE: Baby Hunter does not have Sharp Shooting, Wind Walk, or True Sight.
- Great range class. You’re able to snipe players and mobs off cells away! Huge cell range for both Sharp Shooting* (*sniper only) and Double Strafe. One con to this class is that it leans more on individual target skills.
- Viable Skills:
- Double Strafing:
- 19 cell range. You’re able to Double Strafe (DS) from a good while away.
- *Sharp Shooting:
- Has a 19 cell range after Vulture’s Eye comes into play. Able to hit multiple mobs at once if they’re close together.
- Please reference our wiki page here for Blackout RO’s customization for Sharp Shooting and other skills.
- Skill Facilitators:
- *Wind Walk - self explanatory. Increases walking speed + flee.
- Falcon Mastery - enables Falcon Rental in the game
- Detecting - Reveals invisible traps, and mobs.
2. FAQ, tips and tricks, and a small overview on Battlegrounds!
Q: Where can I find X item you listed below?
A: Most items I’ve listed are accessible through our in game market.
- Locations for the Marketplace:
- @go 25 - Amatsu NPC market with vendors.
- @go 27 - Turbo Room NPC market on BOTH sides (left and right, you may need to walk to both sides) w/ vendors.
Q: How can I save a warp I’m farming on?
A: Most players including myself use the following:
- Shortcut List:
- To access, Press ALT+M on your keyboard to open the list.
- All Shortcuts are automatically programmed to ALT+ 1 through ALT+0.
- These may be customized through your SHORTCUT CONFIGURATION. Press ESC ONCE to access this.
- Click the tab that says “MACROS” and program to your liking. You may also program in mouse buttons if applicable.
- Doing so, your warp is saved for the time being. For example, press : ALT+1 (or whatever you have Macro 1 set to) and warp directly to your saved warp without having to constantly type it out.
- If you need to delete the warp from your shortcuts, simply open up the Shortcut List and select the warp, and delete it.
Q: I can’t find X item you’ve listed that I may need!
A: With all mid-end game gears, you may have to grind MVPs for certain drops. When in doubt, check the vendors located at the warps above! Make sure to also check our Discord trade channel, and #trade in game.
Q: How can I loot more than one item? I don’t want to autoloot EVERYTHING!!1!
A: Simply type out the following in game:
- Ex: @ali 607 608 609 610
- You MUST space out each individual item. DO NOT USE + OR , IN BETWEEN EACH ITEM. You may loot up to 10 items at once. Delete one if needed be for space in place of another.
- This is the result of typing out the example shown. As you can see, all 4 items are now going to be looted:
Q: I don’t know the item number for the item you told me to loot!
A: In game, type out the following:
- Ex: @ii Box of Panting
- Scroll to the appropriate item name. In this case it would be listed in game as:
- ‘Painting Box_’/Box of Panting’ [0] (12034)
NOTE: THESE ARE CASE AND SPELLING SENSITIVE. FOR WHATEVER REASON IF YOU CAN’T FIND A SPECIFIC ITEM, CHECK RATEMYSERVER AS WELL.
Q: I have an unidentified item!! HELP!!
A: When you go back to town, this can be accessed via @go 10 or @go ama there are a set of npcs past the "thicket" of trees. The Identifier is located there.
- Identifier direct warp: @warp amatsu 224 252
Q: How can I get EX items?? Hats???
A: Through Battlegrounds at the Headgear Exchanger, or through Loot Boxes. EX hats that are not available in the Headgear Exchanger npc are obtainable through the Miscellaneous Exchanger, on the left hand side.
- For more information on Glorious Sets, Weapons, and/or EX headgears, feel free to checkout our Wiki Page for details. The Backgrounds NPC can be located at amatsu 246 224, or you may also directly warp to Battlegrounds (BG) with @go bg.
- Use the Freebies provided by Timmy (amatsu 237 212) to start your BG climb! Earn badges to then exchange them for Glorious Sets, Weapons, and/or EX headgears. More info on beginner equipment is located right below this question.
- (You can also take your chance with the Crane as well, as long as you have an Umbral. B))
Q: Can I have free equipment pls.... :< I'm poor and I can't afford any EX items or cards just yet...
A: You sure can! There's an NPC that's located in Amatsu (amatsu 238 212). His name is Timmy and he's the beginner guide. If you're new to the game and want some freebies, do talk to him so can you progress along in the game. He's jam packed with information, so select any of the questions he prompts for more details about the server!
**Freebie descriptions for each item and what Timmy looks like can be located below. Make sure to select "How do I get strong?" to receive all of the freebies.
The freebies include:

They're VERY similar/almost exactly like several EX items in game.
***You can use this set in place of getting end game items by grinding Battlegrounds during peak hours to get your EX items. :> Get your war badges to buy your EX gear!
3. Any possible items and/or cards to aid your farming and progression:

4. Farm your Zeny! 
There are several ways to farm zeny in the game.
I will not list Donation Credits as a form of farming/zeny making
due to the fact that not everyone has the financial freedom to do so.
There are several ways to farm zeny in the game.
I will not list Donation Credits as a form of farming/zeny making
due to the fact that not everyone has the financial freedom to do so.
a. Khukri’s: (ID# 13006) - Petite - @warp mjolnir_03 (70x mob)
- Probably the most popular way to farm. Use Storm Gust along with LoV to unfreeze the Petites after you cast SG.
- Daggers sell for 120,000 zeny each. (148,800 zeny each if you’re selling on any Merchant class with Overcharge.)
- You can use either a High Wizard or a Sniper depending on your preference.
- Note: High Wizard Mob/AoE skills do NOT one hit Petites. You may have to hit them multiple times with AoE skills to kill them. You can cycle between using a skill, warping, using a skill, and repeat. Eventually the mobs will die to AoE.
- Sniper may have the upper hand because of range + higher damage output.
b. Gold: (ID# 969) - Dokebi - @warp pay_dun04 (40x mob)
- Not as popular but still a viable source for zeny.
- Smaller map, but drop rate isn’t as good in comparison to Khukri.
- Sells for 100,000 zeny each. (124,000 zeny each if you’re selling on any Merchant class with Overcharge.)
c. Treasure Box: (ID# 7444) - Acidus - @warp abyss_03 (60x per 10 minutes)
- A bigger map compared to pay_dun, but a profitable way to earn zeny.
- However due to fixed spawn times, this may be a con to some.
- The only other spawn map is @warp abyss_02 where 10x spawn every 10 minutes.
- This is slightly more profitable compared to the other 2 options.
- You can cycle between both maps, or mix in the other two farming locations as well if needed.
- Selling at 150,000 zeny each. (186,000 zeny each if you’re selling on any Merchant class with Overcharge.)
d. Box of Pantings & Box of Box of Pantings: (ID# 12034) - Orc Hero/Ord Lord (# varies per map)
- A known way to farm and not farm at the same time.
- You’ll need an Orc Archer Card: (ID# 4256) in an accessory of your choice, or follow recommended above.
- Warp to mvp_beta01 to mvp_beta04 and cast AoE skills (I use SG) on a HW/Baby Wizard in order to kill the Orc Heroes or Orc Lord spawns. If you find one with enough Orcs on it then just warp around that map.
- You can box the Box of Pantings at the Box Maker npc located at (amatsu 232 251).
- You have the option of setting up a Vendor on your merchant class and selling them in the vending spots located in go 25 & go 27.
- Most prices will range from 1.1m for a box of 50, or 1.7m. Prices may vary depending on the economy. Base your prices around the economy from the day you read this.
- Vend in the available spots above the amatsu marketplace, and use @autotrade.
- Put all of your Box of BoPs in your cart in order to successfully set up your vendor.
- *Recommended:
- Do this on a separate account so you can play on your main account in the meanwhile. If you log into the Vendor account, it will close down your Vending spot.
shown below is my baby wizard farming bops. as you can see, i'm warping around killing the Orc Hero and Orc Lord spawns.
e. MVPing, MVP cards and Abracadabra:
I will briefly go over this since this isn’t an abra guide. :< (I may make one in the future!)
- I. Recommended Classes:
- A Baby Sage or Professor for Abracadabra
- An Assassin Cross or Soul Linker to kill mobs that are spawned in.
- II. How to Abra + Setup your character:
- A map that you can abra on
- Ulle’s Cap of Gemstone (or hat of choice) with:
- Mistress Card (ID# 4132)
- Mid headgear that allows sight on hidden mobs (3D Glasses)
- Yellow Gemstones (I carry 2k on me)
- Dead Branches (ID# 608)
- Level 8 Abracadabra - This Level has the highest % for MVP ????’s, which gives you a chance of turning a mob into an MVP.
- Shield with GTB card or GTB Supplement Freebie Shield (to prevent Coma) (Information on Freebies and how to get them are located in Section II)
- And 1 Dex to Cast Cancel Steel Body.
- This is also a great way to make Zeny. You’re able to sell any profitable equipment (Valkyrie Armors, Shoes, Manteaus..) or Cards to then Vend to the public.
Hexagon Spectacles can be found at the Beginner Guide (amatsu 238 212).
This was previously talked about in Section 2. Tips and Tricks...
f. Making and farming Converters:
These are primarily used during War of Emperium, or woe for short. Professor/Sage classes use this in Woe to convert enemy guilds into a certain element, then attacking with the counter element.
- * If you happen to have a Professor Card, you can hunt at lhz_dun03 to farm mobs for Converters. However, farming the actual materials is much quicker. Each time you warp into lhz_dun03, the element you farm is randomized and will stay as a EX: Seismic Elemental Converter until you warp out of the map. If you're hunting for a particular element, feel free to keep warping in and out the map until you get the particular element you want.
- Converter Type:
- Flame Elemental Converter (Fire) (ID# 12114)
- Frost Elemental Converter (Water) (ID# 12115)
- Seismic Elemental Converter (Earth) (ID# 12116)
- Lightning Elemental Converter (Wind) (ID# 12117)
- Requirements to Craft Converters:
- (You'll need a Professor/Sage and you need to cast "Create Elemental Converter")
- Flame - 1 Blank Scroll, 3 Scorpion Tails (ID# 904)
- Located:
- @warp moc_fild20 - 70x Scorpion mobs
- Located:
- Frost - 1 Blank Scroll, 3 Snail’s Shell (ID# 946)
- Located:
- @warp gef_fild09 - 60x Ambernite mobs
- Located:
- Seismic - 1 Blank Scroll, 3 Horn (ID# 947)
- Located:
- @warp mjolnir_09 - 70x Horn mobs
- Located:
- Lightning - 1 Blank Scroll, 3 Rainbow Shell (ID# 1013)
- Located:
- @warp mjolnir_06 - 70x Stainer mobs
- Located:
- Flame - 1 Blank Scroll, 3 Scorpion Tails (ID# 904)
- (You'll need a Professor/Sage and you need to cast "Create Elemental Converter")
- Blank Scrolls can be bought from an NPC (Scroll Merchant) at yuno_in03 176 22.
- **Tip:
- Check out the economy by the time you read this guide to base your prices accurately.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Conclusion
I apologize if I’ve left out smaller details in this guide.
I’ll update the guide from time to time if need be.
You do NOT need all of the headgear equipment.
If you’d like to do the bare minimum, you can just use a weapon and the cards recommended.
pls dont plagarize my work lmao this took me awhile to make.. T_T
if you have any questions about the guide or about anything related to the guide, please leave a comment and i'll get back to you as quickly as possible!
