  1. Like I said, 1. Get your connection's tracert results. Paste them here if you want. "tracert forsakenserver.net" on CMD. For context, I'm getting 250 as well but have no lag and minimal delay in-game (I've tested spamming differences with someone who has <50ms to the server). 2. Keep a tab open for "ping forsakenserver.net -t" on CMD. See for any latency spikes if you get lags or delays. If you get spikes in CMD when you lag in-game, there's something in your connection that's going on. If you don't, your ISP is doing something with your connection.
  2. More than ping, it's actually how the ISP routes your traffic to the server. In Bayantel, I was at 250-300 ping but was getting delays that felt like 1k+ MS, yet I don't get any ping spikes in CMD. On PLDT, I'm at roughly 200-250, but I never get any spikes or delays (my PLDT is slower than my Bayantel, btw). I would do a tracert to the server and check the number and quality of your connection hops.
  3. I'm playing from the Philippines as well. What ISP are you on? I've tried both PLDT and Bayantel and PLDT has a better connection to the server than Bayantel ever does. Just routing differences, I guess.
  4. Thank you, but I meant to ask how it performs in PvE and MVPing :) Is it comparable to a Sniper?
  5. How is a BB LK for PvE farming and MVP?
  6. On a related note, I remember trying a system before that allowed multiple items to be listed using the @alootid function. I don't know whether that came with renewal or not though, but that was pretty convenient.
  7. On a brighter note, hello everyone! Laura just invited myself (Ellyidol) and my brother (Branny, doesn't frequent forums) yesterday. Looking forward to meeting you all, getting to know you better, and getting awesome stuff done as a guild :)
  8. Hi, still fairly new and I'm looking to start doing those quests (according to the wiki) for those high token blessed/cursed rings. But I'm stuck on the part where I need to do it with the party (it's just me and my brother who know each other). Am I supposed to look for a guild? Or do people generally gather by the raid portal and recruit from there? I don't have much time at the moment to just sit and look for a group (LFG-esque), so I'm not sure what my next option would be. Any help would be great :)
  9. Thanks! I was right, roughly 300 ping. The spikes I get feel way more than 300ms though (based on experience), this is most probably an ISP issue already. Oh well :(
  10. Hi all. I recently moved to a new apartment (and city) in the Philippines. I'm not from here, but I was assigned here for work. Previously, I used to be under the PLDT ISP and I had no problems whatsoever with lag or delays in fRO (I think I had a latency of around 200ms, could be lesser). However, in my new place I'm using Bayantel as an ISP and should roughly have 300 ms latency (according to the Resource Monitor, fRO.exe). But I'm getting lag spikes and delays of (out of experience) roughly 1k+ ms. Download speed is fine, consistent 500kbps on numerous sources. So I'm thinking that this ISP has a bad route to the server? Is there a way I can accurately check my ping to fRO? And if there's anything I can do to improve my current connection? Thank you for any help.
  11. As someone new to the server (so this is my first update), do we just run the Forsaken RO Patcher executable and let it patch from there?
  12. Noted, thanks! AoE farming with a Wiz is just so much quicker and easier than with a Sniper which is why I was interested in making my Wiz my primary farmer for now.
  13. Thanks! Will try this combo and hopefully cleans them up quick. Yeah, I'm going for trying to maximize the amount of Z/tokens I can make per hour now since I'm still fairly new and want to save up for those big token items.
  14. Hi, I just made a Wizard and I'm really enjoying it for farming. However, I run into problems when dealing with mobs with Holy/Shadow/Ghost, etc properties that I don't really have spells for (other than Soul Strike, maybe). For example, I want to try to farm the Acidus (Holy) for Treasure Boxes, but my SG isn't enough to kill it before it freezes or kill it in a few hits. Similarly, how do I MVP with a Wiz for those bosses with these properties? Any help would be great! I have a sniper too, but since I'm new that'd mean I have to keep swapping the equips around based on what I want to use which is terribly inconvenient. Thanks!
