This page is a guide for new players just getting started in RyonaRPG.

RTFM: What You Should Read and Why

Before going to those dangerous dungeons and being abused by the monsters you better read these pages first...

• Game system: Details the basic controls and such for the game. Mostly standard RPGmaker2000 stuff, also covers character creation options.
• Status: List of negative statuses and the way to remove them (most drugs can be bought from the village grocery)
• Traps: Focus on hidden traps first, they are more common. If you find a trap that hasn't been listed there please edit the page and add it.
• Equipment: Learn their characteristics first. Some weapons may hurt non-warrior characters. Or before you buy a weapon/armor etc go to check its stats to see if it is suitable for you or not.
• Locations: If you don't know how to get to, or get stuck in the dungeons, check there and see if it can help you or not. If nothing is useful, you can use debug mode to switch your location.
• Debug mode : Even if you don't want to cheat and ruin the gameplay, some game setting can be accessed there. Take a look at it.

Step One: Prepare Yourself

In the leftmost bedroom on the second floor of the Inn:

• Talk to the maid to get your injury treated, otherwise you will bleed whenever you remove your bandages.
  • Whenever you are injured in the future, you can talk to this maid here to get healed.
• Examine the book in the room on the left to get the "Girls Secret Diary"
• Examine the chest next to the book to get some gold (400g on normal, 2000g on easy, 100g on Newtype)

Buy some equipment:

• If you are a mage or battlemage, fire magic can deal with those creeps in Newbie Dungeon easily. Stay away from them and learn how to cast magic and hit them accurately. You may want to try the charged attack too. Later on you face some fast moving monsters, the charged attack with area damage will be useful.
• For warriors let's hope your weapon and armor are intact from 無想の森, and haven't been damaged. If not, or your starting outfit is too weak, you can try to play hit and blow to earn more money first. Without good armor even the weak monsters in the Newbie Dungeon can kill you easily. Get a few thousand coins then go to the weapon store. Some cheap items such as the $500 axe and the $100 shield are very useful. Some weapons, like that axe, are two handed weapons so you cannot equip left hand items, such as a shield. You can view the equipment page for details.
• If you have spare money you can buy the anti-capture and anti-poison items from the lady there. These are useful since when you go outside and fight you will face many different negative status and traps.

Step Two: Unlock Dungeons

Talk to people in towns to unlock dungeons. You will know when you've unlocked a new area because the text will be prefaced with a diamond-shape ("◆")

Some places to try:

• Ray-On Pub
• Ray-On Church
• Ray-On Inn

Step Three: Your First Dungeon

To leave town, either press the SHIFT key on your keyboard, or walk out through the gap in the trees south of the fountain.

IMO, there are two good choices for your first dungeon:

Step Four: Explore the World

Now that you have advanced some levels and have more cash on hand, go explore the world. Obtain information from NPCs to make them accessible from the map. Read the location walkthrough page to get them one by one. The locations at Devil's store and Capital Avalon are harder so you can skip these for now.

Unlock new locations

Places you want to go are ones with good experience, moderate risk

Try to unlock Capital Avalon as soon as possible (If you rush avoiding all fight, it can be done at level 20 or so...

Learn what kind of status you'll have to be worried about, and buy items, or better, accessories, to be safe. Statuses are NASTY.

Earn money

You're going to need it to buy better equipment. Defense is the most important stat of your character. Keep it at its best. Equipment with elemental resistances are good to.

Gain levels

Stats alone won't save you from all monsters. Basically, play more. Go in dungeon, learn to use charged spells and attacks (Those are way, way better than normal attacks), learn how the AI works.

If you have no idea where to level, you could try killing the octopus/siren monsters in the water dungeon, the mothers (with an anti poison accessory) are deeper if you can reach them.

Mages can go up to level 7~10 very easily by fighting the 3 red slimes in the mountain dungeon (kill them all in one shot)

The three nagas deeper in the dungeon can't hurt you if you use anti-capture equipment (plus, the stats of the item are decent for an accessory item
