Mind if I tell everyone why Lif isn't popular? It's heal skill needs a slim potion, making the benefit of a Lif very low. Along with that, there are items that increase walking speed that are now readily available. But Lif's probably one of the cooler looking homonculi, other than the flan. |

=====================================================
Your Homunculus ===================================================== Thanks to the Lighthalzen patch that was created, players are now able to use their Alchemists much more efficiently due to an extra party member. This little Homunculus can be controlled by you and even has its own stats and skills that it can learn. How handy is that? Only problem with it is that it cannot be buffed, nor can it be healed by Heal. The only one that can heal it is you, and that can only be done through Aid Potion. One thing to note first about the Homunculus are its stats. For anyone who has played Pokemon, your Homunculus is a lot like a Pokemon with specific IVs, which were Indidual Values, which indicated how many extra points to a stat you may get, or the rate at which the stat may increase. This is a lot how the Homunculus works. It will have some stats that are preset at a certain value that will increase by a certain amount every time it gains a level. I'm pretty sure the values are random, so if you don't get the values you want, you could always try making another Homunculus. However, you will have to keep in mind, you may not get the same Homunculus as you did before. For a calculator, go here: http://www.amesani.org/ro/homun/statcalc.php Another part that makes this interesting is that we can program our Homunculus ourselves. I have not done this yet, so I can't help ya there. There's a guide in the Gravity program folder though that tells you the commands on how you can program it. First of all, let's take a look at each Homunculi. Amistr----------------------------------------------- Eats: Zargon Specialty: Defense Comments: I'd say most of the people usually want this one. For many reasons too. Since he focuses in defense so well, he can protect the Alchemist without much worry of dying, himself. His skills are focus in defending himself and the player perfectly. This is good for any kind of Alchemist. Skills Castling In-game Info: Instantly switch the location of the caster with the Amistr Homunculus so that monsters attacking the caster will target Amistr instead. Level 1: 20% Success Chance Level 2: 40% Success Chance Level 3: 60% Success Chance Level 4: 80% Success Chance Level 5: 100% Success Chance Comments: I love this skill. Only problem is that currently, it is bugged, so the enemies won't change their target to Amistr. However, you will still switch spots, which can make for a nice, quick escape. Amistr Bulwark In-game Info: Enhance the Defense of the caster and the Amistr Homunculus for this skill's duration. Level 1: DEF+ 2 40 Sec Duration Level 2: DEF +4 35 Sec Duration Level 3: DEF +6 30 Sec Duration Level 4: DEF +8 25 Sec Duration Level 5: DEF +10 20 Sec Duration Comments: Eh, this skill is alright. It helps build your defense, as well as his, but won't make a drastic difference. It can help though when you need it to. Adamantium Skin In-game Info: Permanently increase the Homunculus's Defense, Max HP and HP Recovery Rate. Level 1: DEF +4, Max HP +2%, HP Recovery Rate +5% Level 2: DEF +8, Max HP +4%, HP Recovery Rate +10% Level 3: DEF +12, Max HP +6%, HP Recovery Rate +15% Level 4: DEF +16, Max HP +8%, HP Recovery Rate +20% Level 5: DEF +20, Max HP +10%, HP Recovery Rate +25% Comments: VERY nice skill. Max this as soon as you can, for it will be very handy when they fix that bug with Castling. Vanilmirth------------------------------------------- Eats: Scell Specialty: Offensive Magic Comments: This one isn't quite as popular, but you seem them around every so often. This one uses the bolts that Mages learn to attack their enemies. The only thing that sometimes makes people weary is the fact that it uses a random bolt. He can also learn a healing skill, but that targets either himself, the enemy, or you; and again, unfortunately, it is random who it will target. Skills Caprice In-game Info: A random Bolt skill. The level of the Bolt skill cast is affected by the skill level of Caprice. Level 1: Cast Lv 1 Bolt skill Level 2: Cast Lv 2 Bolt skill Level 3: Cast Lv 3 Bolt skill Level 4: Cast Lv 4 Bolt skill Level 5: Cast Lv 5 Bolt skill Comments: Sometimes, I'm somewhat envious of this skill. Each time it levels up, you can cast a higher leveled bolt, and that could be quite nice. Just keep in mind, the bolt is random, so when fighting in Magma, he could end up killing you with a Fire Bolt. Chaotic Blessings In-game Info: Restore HP to a target randomly selected among enemies, the Homuculus's master or the Homunculus itself. Level 1: Lv 1 Heal 20% Chance of Healing Self, 30% Chance of Healing Master, 50% Chance of Healing Enemy Level 2: Lv 1-2 Heal 50% Chance of Healing Self, 10% Chance of Healing Master, 40% Chance of Healing Enemy Level 3: Lv 1-3 Heal 25% Chance of Healing Self, 50% Chance of Healing Master, 25% Chance of Healing Enemy Level 4: Lv 1-4 Heal 60% Chance of Healing Self, 4% Chance of Healing Master, 36% Chance of Healing Enemy Level 5: Lv 1-2 Heal 34% Chance of Healing Self, 33% Chance of Healing Master, 33% Chance of Healing Enemy Comments: I love and hate this skill. He could either help you, himself, or make things worse than they may already be. If you want to get it however, you may wanna just stick with Level 4. That seems to be the best choice. Instruction Change In-game Info: Increase Homunculus's INT and STR. Level 1: +1 INT, +1 STR Level 2: +2 INT, +1 STR Level 3: +2 INT, +3 STR Level 4: +4 INT, +4 STR Level 5: +5 INT, +4 STR Comments: Very good, max this quickly. Since it's passive, it'll be active at all times. Filir------------------------------------------------ Eats: Garlet Specialty: AGI based Attacking Comments: My favorite, and the one that I use. This one is the best attacker of them all, hands down. Filir learns a skill to improve his flee rate, a skill to improve his aspd, and also a skill that hits multiple times, kind of familiarizing with a Crusder's Holy Cross. In my opinion, this is the best Homunculus. But that might just be because I'm a Battle Alchemist. They're basically a mini Assassin. Skills Moonlight In-game Info: Command Filir Homunculus to peck repeatedly at a nearby target. Level 1: 1 Peck, Damage +220% Level 2: 2 Pecks, Damage +330% Level 3: 2 Pecks, Damage +440% Level 4: 2 Pecks, Damage +550% Level 5: 3 Pecks, Damage +660% Comments: Awesome skill. Max this and Flitting quickly. This will be your Filir's best way of taking enemies out quickly. Flitting In-game Info: Temporarily increase Filir Homunculus's Attack Power and Speed. Level 1: Aspd +3 Attack Power +110% 60 Sec Duration 60 Sec Cast Delay Level 2: Aspd +6 Attack Power +115% 55 Sec Duration 70 Sec Cast Delay Level 3: Aspd +9 Attack Power +120% 50 Sec Duration 80 Sec Cast Delay Level 4: Aspd +12 Attack Power +125% 45 Sec Duration 90 Sec Cast Delay Level 5: Aspd +15 Attack Power +130% 40 Sec Duration 120 Sec Cast Delay Delay Comments: This is also very good. More aspd and power at once can be quite handy. It's usually good to use this and Moonlight together to help make your enemy drop quicker. Accelerated Flight In-game Info: Temporarily increase Filir Homunculus's Flee Rate by pushing it to its physical limits. Level 1: Flee Rate +20 60 Sec Duration 60 Sec Cast Delay Level 2: Flee Rate +30 55 Sec Duration 70 Sec Cast Delay Level 3: Flee Rate +40 50 Sec Duration 80 Sec Cast Delay Level 4: Flee Rate +50 45 Sec Duration 90 Sec Cast Delay Level 5: Flee Rate +60 40 Sec Duration 120 Sec Cast Delay Comments: This is also quite good, but only in the higher levels. Getting a very high flee rate sometimes makes some Assassins jealous  .
Lif-------------------------------------------------- Eats: Pet Food Specialty: Healing Comments: You never see these, even as cute as they are. Lif is the healing type, and since we're Alchemists with Aid Potion, and a nice little Geographer, most people don't like to use Lif since that's basically all she can do. She can however, practically give you an AGI Up spell that will let you run quite fast, and I think it may even outdo the Priest's AGI Up. Good for Battle Alchemists probably. Skills Healing Hands In-game Info: Restore a player's HP with a method that mimics the Acolyte's Heal skill. The amount of restored HP is affected by the skill's level, caster's Base Level and INT. Each cast requires 1 Condensed Red Potion. SP Consumption By Level. Level 1: 13 SP Level 2: 16 SP Level 3: 19 SP Level 4: 22 SP Level 5: 25 SP Comments: This is a very neat skill, considering how easy Red Potions are to find and make, as well as those Cactus Needles. Making Condensed Red Potions wouldn't take too much time and effort, and could be worth it when you've got a Lif. Urgent Escape In-game Info: Temporarily increase the moving speed of caster and Homunculus so that they can escape from a critical situation. Level 1: 40 Sec Duration Movement Speed +10% Level 2: 35 Sec Duration Movement Speed +20% Level 3: 30 Sec Duration Movement Speed +30% Level 4: 25 Sec Duration Moving Speed +40% Level 5: 20 Sec Duration Movement Speed +50% Comments: This skill is my favorite of Lif's. You'll be able to make a quick escape if the battle seems to be turning against you, and you can run like a coward. Only problem is that it doesn't last too long. Brain Surgery In-game Info: Alter the Lif Homunculus's brain to increase its Max SP, SP Recovery Rate and the effectiveness of the Healing Hands skill. Level 1: Max SP +1% SP Recovery +3% Healing Hands +2% Level 2: Max SP +2% SP Recovery +6% Healing Hands +4% Level 3: Max SP +3% SP Recovery +9% Healing Hands +6% Level 4: Max SP+ 4% SP Recovery +12% Healing Hands +8% Level 5: Max SP +5% SP Recovery +15% Healing Hands +10% Comments: This skill will make Lif even better at everything she does. Max this as quickly as you can if you're intending to have one of these. |

The best part about homunculus is that you can customize its actions through the ai files, giving them great potential, as well as the obvious sidekick function. |
| Astrophel Posts: 1436/2724 |
Psst, Shaddow... your noob is showing.  |
| Logos Posts: 173/641 |
Insane, isn't it, sort of like using LKs for WoE... |
| Banned Posts: 2564/-3459 |
 I somewhat enjoy summoning geographers to kill pets and then hiding (with a smokie card and a smokie for a pet)....
... People use Alchemists for things other than to make potions for other characters? lol |
| Astrophel Posts: 1434/2724 |
Alchemists suck at levelling usually, their only attacks being weak (Cart Revo) or requiring items/zeny to use. And though they make decent healers, outside of WoE their only buff-like abilities are useless.
Far as I can tell, that's why the homunculus is such a big deal. |
| Banned Posts: 2542/-3459 |
They are a Special pet.... ... ... a Pet that levels up...
I swear to god, it's the most overrated skill in the fucking game. T_T |
| Logos Posts: 164/641 |
Oh yes they are. |
| Banned Posts: 2532/-3459 |
Humonculus aren't THAT great.  |
| Logos Posts: 151/641 |
CakeRO has homonculus. |
| Banned Posts: 2528/-3459 |
I used to play DarkmoonRO, but that went down. I had a ton of characters on that...
Now I play CeresRO... It's pretty fun, and has stupidly high rates (3000/3000/1000), and such... Lots of players too. |

Originally posted by Kell Orine Actually, you'd have to have one male and one female because of the Bard/Gypsy class. |

Yeah, you can. Some people have figured out how to do it all in one folder, but it's safer and easier to use more than one folder.
Also: Whoops, Thalis is only level 18. |
| Ryan Posts: 137/1748 |
I only have one character, RYjet911 Lv4 (wow im good ) and hoping to be an archer
Just before I try this and possibly bodge up my RO game, can i install another program of RO into a different folder and put a different server on it? so that I don't have to keep changing and re-patching? |
| Astrophel Posts: 162/2724 |
Well, I figure there's no harm saying it when the download link isn't even displayed publicly (though, if you want it, I can find it for you)...
I play on twilightRO, and my characters... Zenelly, L70 Sword-and-Shield Crusader Thalis, LSomething (30-40, I think) Merchant (Goal: Non-combat Blacksmith) Cheveyo, L3X Thief (Goal: Dagger Rogue) Tamarin, L44 Swordsman (Goal: 2-Hand Sword Knight) --- Lora Werngraf, L48 Swordsman (Goal: Spear Crusader) Tianna Orine, L1X Mage (Goal: Fire/Ice Wizard) ... yes, I have a female account. If you want to use all the character classes, you'd have to have one. |
| Ryan Posts: 133/1748 |
actually i was hyper that day... I had WAY to many maltesers & mars bars and I had actually typed that in before I realised it, and i wasn't thinking straight... sorry.
Anyway, is anyone play on the ProjectRO server who can help me. I can't find the exit from the archer town, and i can't use the teleport because I only have 35z. And if anyone plays at all on a free server what server do you play on and what's yer name/level/job etc. |
| Astrophel Posts: 160/2724 |
Tell me, RYjet, which is true of that post.
A: You were drunk while posting. B: You intentionally screwed up the spelling of damn near every word. C: You were typing in your sleep. You shouldn't be drinking, and I've never seen anyone capable of typing in their sleep. This leaves B, and if it IS B, don't ever do that again, it's highly annoying. |

Did you all get that? |
| Astrophel Posts: 159/2724 |
too fast? I've been at level 70 for quite a while, and getting from level 60 to there took forever. Depends on your server, I guess.
I play on a free server. Since I'm not sure of the legality of the subject, nor am I sure about the rules regarding the matter (their rules), I'll just keep silent about which one. Publicly silent, yep.  The installation for this server's really easy, too.
My main character is a Crusader. *points to sig* But I've gotten some new headgear since I took that screenshot... |
