Ragnarok Mobile is one of the mobile versions of the memorable
MMORPG Ragnarok Online. Just yesterday the game moved to a new episode, opening its doors to a new class. The MERCHANT Class is finally unlocked!!!
Please take note that the game is in Chinese Language and the server is in China. However this does not prevent anyone, including players who know nothing about the Chinese language, to learn and enjoy the game. In fact the game is so easy to understand that even I who also know nothing about Chinese was able to make a multiple guides.
I would like to begin this guide from the novice stage until you becoming a Merchant. I will discuss a lot of stuff, about skills, builds and gameplay which are all based on my own gameplay, opinion and experience. Please take note that you DO NOT have to follow each step/builds/stats and you can do whatever you like throughout the process as long as it makes you happy. I highly suggest that you yourself try to find the gameplay and build which suits your taste.

Let's begin!!!
~Merchant Class Introduction~
Merchant Class is the new melee physical class who uses an axe as its main weapon. The merchant class also use its cart to attack enemies but it is not only a battle class. This class also have skills that will make life easier. From discount and overcharge skills to expanding your carry capacity, the merchant class is definitely one of the most interesting initial classes on this game. The Merchant class can upgrade to Blacksmith once it reach Base Level and Job Level 40.
~What to Expect as a Merchant~
Life and gameplay of a merchant is not as easy as the other classes. Basically a merchant needs a Priest/HighPriest support to level up faster but don't be disheartened because I prepared something that will definitely help you on your leveling journey as a solo merchant class.
~Merchant Job Change Guide~
The Merchant Job Change is fast and easy just like the other
first job change quest. Please follow the steps below in completing the Merchant Job Change Quest.
Before starting the Merchant Job Change Quest, your character must first reach Novice Job level 10.
Once you reach Novice Job Level 10, please enter the Job Change building in Prontera City.
Once inside, your character should automatically talk to the Grand Npc. If not then please talk to the Grand NPC to start the Job Change Quest.
Once the Job Change Quest started you will be able to choose any Job you wish to play. Please speak with the Black Smith NPC to proceed.
Accept the quest for Merchant Job Change to proceed. Please take note that you cannot select another class once you confirm.
The Blacksmith NPC will ask you 3 questions. Please select the answers shown below:
Once you completed the Question and Answer stage, you will then proceed to the combat test.
Please make sure that you are ready before entering the Job Change Arena.
Proceed to the middle as shown below.
The first round will require you to kill 2 Muka's
After completing the 1st round, the 2nd round will ask you to kill 4 Marionette's.
Once you completed the 2nd round, please activate the lever as shown below.
A portal will come out once the lever is activated. Pleas exit the Job Change arena by entering the portal.
Please talk to the Blacksmith NPC to proceed.
CONGRATULATION! YOU ARE NOW A MERCHANT!
~How to get a Cart~
The cart rental NPC can be found just outside the Class Change building in Prontera.

~Merchant Stat Builds~
There are 3 main STATS builds for merchants. The AGI Solo Build which focuses on surviving and leveling without the help of a support by relying on its AGI stats and equipment's to dodge attacks, The STR Solo build on the other hand rely on highly upgraded equipment's to drastically reduce enemy attacks and STR stats to cause more damage (this is an expensive build as you need to purchase lots of pots!) and the Leech Build which basically rely on the support to provide the survival it needs. When I say "support" it can be any class that initiates the attack on an enemy and let the merchant cause damage... or just simply a Leecher who lets the merchant sit in the corner while it farms exp.
AGI SOLO BUILD
29 DEX // 59 AGI
The most popular and cheapest build since it rely on AGI to avoid enemy attacks.
STR SOLO BUILD
29 DEX // 59 STR
This is an expensive build as you need highly upgraded and expensive sets (Cats blessing STR or VIT set), unless you have a Priest/High Priest.
LEECH BUILD (My Merchant Build)
29 INT // 59 STR or PURE STR
Relying on Priest/HighPriest Heals, Magni and Buffs, your merchant will be able to attack on its own while not bothering about its survival. The INT is for SP regeneration unless you have SP Regen Equipment sets.
~Merchant Skill Builds~
There are 2 main SKILL builds for merchants.
BATTLE BUILD (My Merchant Build)
Level 10 CART ATTACK
Level 10 STRENGTHEN CART
Level 10 CRAZY UPROAR
Level 10 FUND RAISING or Level 10 MAMONITE
The Battle Build focuses on fighting alone, in group or in leech mode. Cart Attack will be your main attack skill which damage is increased by Strengthen Cart and Crazy Uproar. Fund Raising will provide bonus zenies every time you kill a monster. You may choose to spend the last 10 skill points on MAMONITE however please do take note that although this skill is spammable, Cart Attack have higher damage and Momonite uses zenies on each attack. This build is suitable to any stats mentioned above.
ZENY BUILD (Rich AF)
Level 10 DISCOUNT
Level 10 OVERCHARGE
Level 10 FUND RAISING
Level 10 MAMONITE
Leech mode all day, everyday and every time? Then this build will suits you best! Discount will make sure that whatever item you purchase from an NPC will save you some Z's. Overcharge and Fund Raising will increase the input of zenies while Mamonite will use zeny to deal damage. Not suitable during low levels, newbies and poor players (like me =P)
PURE STR + BATTLE BUILD
5.2K Damage on level 30 Skeletons with level 10 Cart Attack (with level 10 Blessing + Level 10 Strengthen Cart + Level 1 Crazy Uproar)
Current Base Level: 25
Current Job Level: 21
Skill Build:
Check out the next page for my current equipment build!
~My Merchant Equipment's~
There are new AXE weapons added on the game that can be used by merchants. You may craft the new weapons from each town and some can be upgraded in Orc Village. However, the stats and compatibility of the new axe weapons does not compliment with my build (PURE STR). So I will rather use my CBT server item build which is shown belo
w:
Weapon: 神圣大驹短剑
Stats: ATK+240, STR+5. Have higher chance of having ATK+30 for 15 sec when doing normal attack and stackable up to 3 times.
Bonus Stats: ATK+10% if STR reach 95 // ATK+5% if STR reach 120 // ATK+5% if STR reach 150. (If STR reach 150 the total bonus stats will be ATK+20%)
This weapon is perfect for my PURE STR Build.
Off Hand: 蔷薇姬的手镯
Stats: DEF+31 and Ignore 25% of targets Def
Another great equipment to boost my Pure Str Build attack
Armor + Garment + Boots: STR Cats Blessing set.
Stats:
DEF +46 MaxHP+1000
Def +25 Flee +15
Def +22 Movement SPD+5% AGI+2
Set Stats: STR+5, Gear's ASPD+5%You may opt for the VIT Cats Blessing which also have HP and SP Recovery, but honestly merchants do not require too much SP.
Accessories: Moon Ring (月亮胸针)
Stats: ATK+42 MaxSP +75, increase SP recovery +5%
You may opt for the upgraded clip(红玛瑙发夹). I rather use this one as i also have a Sniper on the same account. I actually plan on purchasing upgraded clip once I sold my vip tickets.

~Merchant Leveling Guide~
Please take note that I'am always following my 3 days leveling routine to reach 2nd Job as soon as possible.
DAY 1:
Level 10: As soon as my merchant gain 1 skill point, which the Grand NPC will ask you to put on Cart Attack, I imediately went to skeletons in sunken ship. My normal hits range from 400-450ish while my Level 1 Cart Attack does 900ish damage.
Level 20+ Same spot, Skeletons at Sunken Ship. Soon I was able to 1 hit kill the level 30 skeletons.
and a few more levels, I was able to deal almost twice the needed damage to 1 hit kill them.
2 hours before server resets, I did my boards quest which includes kill quest.
Cart attack cause almost 7k damage!
At the end of the 1st day I only reached level 29 (Usually 31+) due to the fact that the merchant was only released at 11:30am yesterday. Thats 11 hours and 30 minutes worth of questing and grind!
DAY 2:
The 2nd day starts with my character listening to music on A1 channel.
After getting extra 60 stamina, I continue my quest... now at level 30 doing byalan quest.
Sorry for the low quality video =(
Level 33
8.2K Cart Attack at 90 STR (Blessing + Uproar) + 10% Bonus damage from weapon!
8.8K Cart Attack Damage when weapon special buff is active!
At the end of the day, i reached level 36 and now moving to Geffen and Goblins for grinding/quest.
DAY 3:
Level 36 and still 1 hit kill normal mobs at 8K+ damage per Cart Attack!
Today is the day that my Merchant will reach Blacksmith. With 6 5xEXP quest, Boards Quest and a pretty long Quest line +9 more 300 kill quest, hopefully I will reach Blacksmith Job level 15 so that i can complete the Blacksmith Skill tree and data.
This part will be updated until I reach Blacksmith.
What build do you have on your merchant? Do you think that this class is OP? Do you have any question or suggestion? Please do not hesitate to post your comment below.
Thanks!
