Version 1.0 March 25, 2004 (03/25/04)
This is the very first version of my new guide.
This is as well the prototype, expect lots of typos.
This guide is dedicated to the Monk Job and the battle-Acolytes.
Version 1.2 March 30, 2004 (03/30/04)
Posted the guide in all sites I can. I finished the whole guide
in this version, also corrected some parts of this. but errors cannot be
avoided. Please e-mail me if you find some and if you want to add some
information. BTW, Monk class only ranked 2 in iRO's Survey. No.1 being
Crusaders and No.3 the Rogues. I am planning to make a Rogue guide.
Version 1.3 April 9, 2004 (04/09/04)
Checked all the builds using the AndzRO (Private Server) since this
is the closest to the real thing. (I don’t play in iRO and any other
servers that has 2-2 Jobs.) But sadly the Monk's skills won't work in
the said private server. ASPD Potions don't work either. If you're
asking why my job bonuses is different from rodatazone's data well,
I got my bonuses from the private server. The server is a copy of
KRO and is already patched with JUNO. Sorry to say but I don't quite
trust all the data that rodatazone gives (as for 2-2 Jobs) so have a habit
of checking other sites as well because as of now not all data is
100% accurate so mistakes will happen. ^_^ peace!
Another guide update will be due next week. So watch out.
Version 1.4 April 10, 2004 (04/10/04)
Added the 2 new builds submitted in.
Version 1.5 April 11, 2004 (04/11/04)
Easter Sunday! just added another Stat and skill build by
Ky Kiske.
Version 1.6 April 14, 2004 (04/14/04)
Added the Acolyte builds section. Sorry for not posting it!
Thanks Ong Teck Jim
Version 1.7 April 15, 2004 (04/15/04)
Added some new builds.
Version 1.8 April 18, 2004 (04/18/04)
Fixed correction.
Version 1.9 April 26, 2004 (04/26/04)
Added submitted builds, both skill and stat builds.
In other news... Nowadays, in Byalan I see many BA there
leveling. In the past you "Rarely" see one in the dungeon
but now I see many BA's. Before, I see almost no BA's in
the dungeon bit now I see 3 BA's everyday!
I removed the stats distribution section of the stats
build.
Version 2.0 April 29, 2004 (04/29/04)
Added some builds and corrected corrections
Special thanks to:
Ricardo Elder Segovia Inostroza"
For correcting on Gunardi's build and also mods it a little.
There something wrong with gamefaqs nowadays, if you can't
access this guide through gamefaqs, just e-mail me and I'll forward you
the latest version of this guide.
Version 2.1 May 4, 2004 (05/04/04)
Updated the Flee chart. (Thanks to Kula)
As of now I will not update much until all data about 2-2 stabilizes
because as of now there's not much correct data. I'm taking my words
back. rodatazone is still the best site if you want one stop
RO facts. They still have the most data than other RO sites.
Just keep on checking their site on new infos about 2-2 Jobs.
I will change the Jbonuses by next month, maybe by that time
data about 2-2 jobs will be stable.
I added some new parts of the guide to make this more in-depth.
Version 2.2 May 4, 2004 (05/07/04)
Added a build by Adi Soegiarto (summon_mastery@yahoo.com.sg)
His build is WoE Oriented and maybe will be the one
of the "in-demand" soon. His build can act as a recon
character since it can stand alone (can neutralize almost all
2-1 Jobs and maybe 2-2 also).
Version 2.3 May 12, 2004 (05/12/04)
I added the WoE and MVP guide.
Well those parts is not as good as the MVP and WoE here
in gamefaqs but I think somehow those infos will help
you in your game play.
Version 2.4 May 15, 2004 (05/15/04)
Modified the guide and added some info from RO~Universe.
Purged the Asura Stat Build. Developed a Combo-Asura Monk
Skills build.
Added new builds and a How to be a monk section submitted by
"Louise Stevens Cabarles"
Version 2.5 May 23, 2004 (05/23/04)
Modified the MVP weapons due.
Well not actually modified but I put some notes because of the Fist.
Corrected some "Submissions" but he took it from someone's Monk Guide.
I Credited the OWNER of the said data and can be purged from this guide
anytime soon. (If the owner wants to delete it from this guide.)
Version 2.6 May 25, 2004 (05/25/04)
I purged the PvP/GvG Monk Guide that was submitted in.
I'll just put a link to that site.
Modified some of the WoE Monk part.
I added a little guide on buying equips since most people ignore these
things (many is in pRO and I hate those people especially the - † Ninja † -
Or the "JERKS Guild".)
Version 2.7 May 27, 2004 (05/27/04)
Added a submission by "Carlo Mendez"
On VIT and PvP/WoE Monk.
Version 2.8 May 31, 2004 (05/27/04)
I forgot what I updated.. GRR
because I updated this guide about 2 days ago and because life's
busy. I forgot what I updated... Sorry X_X
Version 2.9 June 7, 2004 (06/07/04)
Minor update since there are no submissions.
And no new data regarding monks.
Version 3.0 July 21, 2004 (07/21/04)
Major Update! (wala lang!)
I will be implementing a new policy for submissions,
if your submission is not posted then... maybe I rejected it.
Sorry for not correcting/updating this guide due to some
personal problems.
Version 3.1 October 27, 2004 (10/27/04)
After what it seems like forever, finally I have updated the monk guide
First up, I have put in the submitted builds etc. Sorry for not
replying your e-mails to me. Sorry sorry.
Since it seems like admira's out maybe I'll fill in his shoes for a moment.
Juno has arrived at our shores (pRO) as a Pioneer monk and as I see
may people is still misguided by rumor. Damn why don't they use guides.
Version 3.2 October 28, 2004 (10/28/04)
Minor Update. Nothing New.
Version 3.3 November 4, 2004 (11/04/04)
Birthday update! It's my birthday oooo yeah!!!!!!!!
Added the decimal equivalent of the attack bonuses given by the skills
for easy understanding.
Version 3.4 November 14, 2004 (11/14/04)
Added some indepth info on stats.
Taken from www.rodatazone.com
Version 3.5 November 19, 2004 (11/19/04)

Ctrl+F: Acolyte Skill Tree

Version 3.6 November 27, 2004 (11/27/04)
Updated the Card Collection Section.
Version 3.7 December 7, 2004 (12/7/04)

for easy reference and understanding... echos!
And deleted some builds.
Version 3.8 December 14, 2004 (12/14/04)

Someone somehow had copied my build and posted it in his
guide in one of the forums I saw.

Version 4.0 March 18, 2005 (3/18/05)

so you can change to Champion.
Version 4.1 April 6, 2005 (4/06/05)
Added the REAL STR-DEX Build, not my original of course, I also added some
new tips for WoE Monk. I also added the Champion skills, just wait for the

- II. Introduction -------------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
The following information found in this guide is mostly based on my
experience in playing in pRO (Philippines) version of Ragnarok Online,
playing in private servers (ya, I know it's illegal and all...)
and reading other FAQs/guides on gamefaqs and some of my theories &
observations.
__________________________________________________________________________
- III. Ragnarok Online ---------------------------------------------------
__________________________________________________________________________
Ragnarok Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
made by Gravity and was inspired by Lee-Myoungin's Manhwa "Ragnarok".
The game is highly addictive due to its many factors (too many to mention)
and lets you interact with many other players in your country or
all over the world.
People would say, "Once you come in... You'll never get out"
Well that's how addictive RO is. (For us gamers)
