New Player Guide
Welcome to NexusRO! Here's everything you need to know to get started.
Starting the Game
New characters begin in the Novice Training Ground, which has been updated to match the Renewal-style grounds with balanced EXP, giving you a smooth introduction without rushing you through.
Once you finish training, head to Prontera, the central hub where most NPCs and services are located.

Tips for New Players
Sitting Regeneration
Sitting restores HP and SP faster than standing. After 3 seconds of sitting, you gain a passive regeneration buff that restores your full HP and SP over approximately 60 seconds. Floating heal numbers will appear to confirm it's active.
Autoloot
Use @autoloot to automatically pick up items. It respects your current bonus rates, including Bubble Gum and map EXP bonuses.
Check the Bonus Map Board
Before grinding, check the Bonus Map Board in Prontera to see which map in your level range is giving +25% EXP today. It changes every 2 days!
@rates
Type @rates to see your current effective EXP and drop rates, including all active bonuses.
@killcount
Use @killcount <monster name> to check how many times you've killed a specific monster.
