Now aside from the sparkling characters, the background isn't bad at all. Most of the wastelands look scrumptious enough to level on, with monsters that complement the area's ambiance.
The essence of customization: Lets make our toons strongah!
Though leveling may seem fun especially when you get to kill monsters to achieve it, Rappelz Rupees also gives you something else to farm for aside from experience points and in-game cash. Job points (JP) can also be acquired by killing these unruly creatures, which are used to buy skills (as well as skill upgrades) throughout the game. What kinda hurts would be the fact that you have to spend JP on levelling your Job level is well, which is quite necessary for your characters to advance. This alone makes it hard to make mistakes when leveling your character, making you plan in advance to whether you're going to get a skill or increase your job level.
One thing that separates a character from the others is his/her gear. Rappelz also has a bunch of upgrades that will help compliment your character's playstyle.
"Cubes" are used to increase your desired feature. It's pretty much an item that optimizes your equipment as well as your skills depending on what type of cube your character is using. These cubes can also be combined in order to create better cubes. If you're worried about not getting one, might I say that you'll be killing monsters throughout the game so the chances of you getting one is rather high.
Character's best friend?
The pet system makes your characters rather competent, letting them adjust to their surroundings as they tame beasts to fit that certain area. Getting a hard hitting pet will greatly compliment your hard hitting warrior, making it faster to kill monsters thus increasing the amount of exp and jp you gain over time.
Mounts are attained rather early in this game compared to other MMO. This is a big plus for players since running around with a mount makes it easier for them to reach certain places without having to cry about mobs killing them along the way.
Monstrous Clones
If there's something I would want to rant on, it would probably be the game's lack of monster models. Looking like someone else is bad enough but being killed by a monster who looks like its low-leveled kin makes it darn annoying. I recall leveling around with my twins, constantly bashing everything in my way when suddenly I was struck down by the same monster I was farming on for a couple of hours. It didn't take me long to realize that the monster who killed me was called 'Paradise lost', who was a lot stronger compared to the bone 'thingies' that I was farming on.
