After a bunch of issues with the 1.7GB full client DL not working and ratemyserver.net's filefront downloads being corrupted, i managed to hack together a working intenseRO folder by ripping some files from LRO and combining it with the IRO files I had. and then...
Success! It was already fairly late in the night, but I really needed to kick back a little (rough night), so I wanted to at least get started. I quickly created my character, with the same recognizable red hairstyle as always, and named her Reinforce san. I couldn't think of anything else ^^;
And here I am in the newbie spawn area. As always, it seems rather crowded and bustling. There's a bunch of NPCs here; even one for healing + bless + agi. convenient, though it kind of upsets me because it means my support role is somewhat diminished and I can't go off and do as many random acts of kindness. Oh well.
First thing I did was to buy some items and go off to the Ice Dungeon to complete the quest which would get me to base level 81 (as mentioned in a guide on the forums). As you can see here, I ran into some issues while I was fly wing'ing around. The warper lets you get into any level of the dungeon though, so that's convenient.
Ah, finally I reach the guy in the ice. Then it's just a few more short steps to finish the quest...
And hooray, I'm base level 81! ...as a jlvl1 novice. Haha, ridiculous. Anyhow, went to Ant Hell to whack some things.
And hooray, I'm a cute aco!~
Here's a screenie of the main town. I forget what it's called now; name starts with a B or something. Then Pront is the official vending town, and there's also a Mall full of NPCs selling items, etc.
After whacking a few more ants I had my healbomb set up, so I went to Payon dungeon and gained some more easy jlvls, then I was off to Amatsu for more healbombing of firelocks. Somewhere along the way I also tried to kill an Anubis in Sphinx but failed miserably xD.
Anyhoo, that got me to jlvl 50, and then now I'm a priest! Ugh, ugly...
