Getting Started

It is advised for new players to thoroughly read and understand the contents of Server Information, for it provides an overview of all that is available in BahamutRO.

Account Creation

First things first, you have to create an account if you haven't already.
In the account creation page, you will be asked to provide you desired username and password, your email address, and desired account gender.
A valid email e-mail address is not required, but it is recommended to provide one, as it is necessary for password changing and recovery.
The chosen gender determines the default gender of all characters within the account.
The date of birth is used for manual identity verification purposes in case you have forget your credentials.

Once an account is created, you can proceed to download the Game Client if you haven't done so already.

Character Creation

After you have created an account, downloaded the client, and logged in, creating a character is the first step. An account holds up to 9 different characters.
When creating a character you have from up to 84 different hairstyles, 100 different hair colors, and 694 different clothing colors to choose from!
Do not worry about getting things 'just right' as the Stylist will also allow you to adjust your character's appearance once you are in-game.

Entrance Hall

Upon creating your character and selecing it, you are taken to the Entrance Hall.
In the Entrance Hall, you will find The Host, who will allow you to select a job for your character.
This is the only time you will be allowed to select a job for your character.
It is advised for new players to create a farming-friendly character as their first character, such as a Priest, Wizard, Sage, or Ninja. This is due to their AOE magic skills.
After selecting your job, you will be provided a Starter Kit and taken to Prontera, the main town.
