RF Online.

RF Online(F2P: Cash shop):

Rising Force Online or shorter RF Online is an MMORPG. Most of the time it’s PvP. There are 3 races, Bellato, Accretians and Cora, these 3 races are in constant war with each other. 3 times per day there is the Chip War (CW). This is a war between all 3 races in an area called Crag Mine Field. They fight over each others Chip. An object that you need to mine in the area, you need the ores to craft or upgrade equipment.

The races battle each other and try to destroy the other control chips. When a race has acquired a chip they must bring it back without the bearer being killed. After that the Holy Stone Keeper(HSK) arrives. The race who has the chips must then defend the HSK so that their race may receive a buff and the losing race receives a debuff.

The races/classes:

Accretia:

These are robots but with an organic brain embedded. This makes that this race doesn’t have female characters.

Warrior: A warrior uses all different kinds of melee weapons. They can choose between axes, 2-handed swords, 1-handed swords, dual wielding, spears, maces and can carry shields.
This class is very good for killing with his high attack, the warriors with shield are very good tanks.
Warriors can advance to Gladius or Destroyer at lvl 30 and then at lvl 40 they can become Punisher, Assaulter or Mercenary. (For more information: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/accretia_warrior.shtml)

Ranger: The ranger can use bows, crossbows, guns and throwing knives. This class can attack on a distance.
In PvP this class comes in very handy as they are a secondary line behind the tankers and can damage by distance.
They can advance to Scout and Gunner, then to Phantom Shadow, Dementer and Striker. (For more information: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/accretia_ranger.shtml)

Specialist: This class uses the same weapons as the ranger, but it can craft equipments.
They are the supporter class in the wars as they can revive or buff others.
They can advance to Engineer and at lvl 40 to Scientist or Battleleader. (For more information: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/accretia_specialist.shtml)

Race special skill: Every race as it’s special skill, Accretians have the ability to use launchers. Launchers are big cannon like things that cause a lot of damage. But while they are in the launcher mode they have more defence but they cannot move.
But because they are robots they can’t cast magic so no magic class for Accretians.

Bellato:

These are small people with elf-like ears.

Warrior: Same as accretian but Bellato warriors can change their job to Commando or Miller and then Berseker, Armsman or Shield Miller. (More information: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/bellato_warrior.shtml)

Ranger: Also the same as above. But the classes at lvl 30 are: Desperado or sniper and the class at 40 is: Hidden Soldier, Sentinel or Infiltrator. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/bellato_ranger.shtml)

Specialist: Once again the same as accretian but this class can use the special race skill. When a specialist chooses at lvl 30 to Driver they can ride with a MAU. This stands for Massive Armored Unit. This is some sort of robot that they can pilot. This is an extremely strong weapon in use in war. They are hard to destroy and have high attack.

Specialist can become: Craftsman or Driver and then Mental Smith or Armor Rider. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/bellato_specialist.shtml)

Spiritualist: A magic user which uses a staff to cast extremely powerfull spells. They can become a support class or an offensive class. They come in very handy in war as they can buff and do a hell of a damage.
Bellato spiritualists can become: Psypers or Chandra’s and then Wizard, Astralist or Holy Chandra. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/bellato_spiritualist.shtml)

Cora:

Cora are the elves of this game. They fight for their beliefs.

Warrior: They can become Champion or Knight and then Templar Knight, Guardian or Black Knight. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/cora_warrior.shtml)

Ranger: They will become Archers or Hunters and then Adventurers, Stealers or Assassins. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/cora_ranger.shtml)

Specialist: The cora crafters, no special race skill. They can become: Craftsman and then go to Artist. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/cora_specialist.shtml)

Spiritualist: This is the class that has the special race skill. In this case the skill is summoning. Cora Spiritualists can become summoners. This skill alows the player to summon 4 different kinds of monsters. There is Paimon, this is a tank, you can use him to tank while you are training. Then there is Hecate, this summon will do damage to the monster you want it to attack. A nice asset for a while. Then you have Inanna, this summon will heal you whenever you get damaged. Eventually there is Isis. Isis is a support type summon, this one will do EXTREMELY much damage. It has the highest attack.

Spiritualists can become: Caster or summoner and then Warlock, Dark Priest, Grazier. (More info: http://rf.mmosite.com/guide/class/cora_spiritualist.shtml)

All these classes have their special attributes and class specific skills.

Cross-class: Cross-classed players or hybrids are players who started out as e.g. a warrior and then got the second class from e.g. Spiritualists, Summoner. These hybreeds have their good points but they will never be able to use class-specific skills. E.g. A cross-classed grazier will not be able to heal his summons as a pure grazier. Cross-classing is recommended for experienced players only.

Training:

You can train to lvl 55 with a job change at lvl 30 and lvl 40. But not only level is required to be a good player. You have to level your Pt’s. Pt’s are your level in a certain category. There is Melee, Range, Shield and Defence for all races. Then there is Launcher for accretia. Force for Bellato and Cora (this is magic). Bellato’s have MAU and Cora’s have Summon as special skill.

Depending your class you have a limit on training your Pt’s. Every Pt adds its own different stats. Like Range adds SP, adds damage with ranged weapons, etc.

Not only these Pt’s have to be trained. Your skills have 4 ranks, Basic, Expert, Elite and Master. To unlock Expert you need Basic Pt 30. To unlock Elite you need 50 Basic and 50 Elite Pt. And For Master you need 70 Pt for Basic, Expert and Elite or in other words max out all other skills. To PvP you need at least good trained Elite skills.
