Step 2 — Choose Your Race & Class
While every class has been rebalanced to be viable, certain choices are more efficient for a Rappelz new player guide experience.
Beginner-Friendly Class Tier List
| Tier | Class | Race | Role | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Void Mage | Asura | Magic AoE DPS | Best for fast leveling and survivability |
| S | Templar | Deva | Tank/DPS | High defense and balanced damage |
| A | Beast Master | Gaia | Pet Hybrid | Unique “Soul Harmony” skill to boost stats |
| A | Corruptor | Asura | Magic DPS | Highly self-sufficient with strong debuffs |
Avoid for Start: Slayer and Berserker are currently being fine-tuned and may be harder for new players with zero Reborns.
Step 3 — Trainee Island Walkthrough (Levels 1–160+)
Your Rappelz Trainee Island experience is designed for speed. Forget standard mob grinding — follow these Rappelz beginner tips to reach level 160 in minutes.
Speed-Leveling Method
- Equip the Camper Title: Press the semicolon (;) key and equip the Camper title. This reduces all incoming damage by 50%.
- Equip Starter Gear: Open your inventory (I) and equip your timed Phoenix Wings, Unity Rings, and Chaos Necklace.

- Instant Leveling: Kill the Wind Pixie to instantly jump to approximately Level 160–165.
- Claim Rewards: Open your “Level Up Reward Box” to get a 7-day Premium Pass, loot pets, and consumable buffs.
Step 4 — Your First Pet
Pets are essential for every class on Rappelz Tournament. You start with several empty cards and the Creature Taming skill.
- 🔹 Step-by-Step Taming: Target a monster matching your empty card (e.g., use an Orc card on an Orc) and activate the Taming skill.
- 🔹 Boost Success: Use Taming Rings (+4 levels) and gear identified with taming bonuses to improve your odds.
- 🔹 Auto-Attack: Right-click your pet’s skill on your hotbar to toggle auto-attack.
Pet Do’s and Don’ts
- Get a Koala as your first belt pet
- Get a permanent Looting Pet
- Tame a White Dragon at level 40+
- Level your main pet to max before evolving
- Wasting rare taming cards on creatures you’ll replace soon
- Investing in a low-stage pet you’ll combine away
- Skipping the Looting Pet — it saves hours of inventory management
Step 5 — Graduation & Arrival at Horizon
Once you hit level 170, it is time to move to the main hub, Horizon Town.
- 🔹 Set Return Point: Use the Priest Teleporter to go to Horizon and immediately set your Return Point there.
- 🔹 Instant Job Advancement: Visit Job Supporter Kyrie. You can skip all tedious class trials and instantly advance through your 1st, 2nd, and Master Class jobs.

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Unarmed Disconnects: Server security kicks unarmed characters. Always have at least one weapon equipped.
Missing Manual Patch: If items appear as “white dots,” you are missing the resource folder update.
The DC Loop: If you disconnect every 3-5 minutes, add your game folder to your antivirus whitelist.
Pet Level Penalty: A pet higher than your character level will not gain experience.
Gearing Up for the First Time
Visit the Trial Guardian in Horizon at level 150 and 170 to receive free Timed +25 Nusylite Armor and Weapons.
Purchase stones from the Lost Child NPC and socket them at the Soul Crafter to boost your primary stats.
Use Awakening Stones on your gear to unlock powerful random bonus stats like Critical Power and M.Atk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find all the custom NPCs?
Everything you need (Buffs, Reborns, Item Traders) is centralized in Horizon Town.
Is the server Pay-to-Win?
No. While we have an item shop, all items (including +25 gear and Stage 5 pets) are available in-game for T-Gold Coins earned through daily quests and boss hunts.
Why isn’t my EXP bar moving?
In some dungeons like Crystal Valley, having a party of 4+ players at level 194+ can nerf EXP gain. Also, ensure your pet is at a lower level than you.
