That's pretty good, i do remember another one that went into more detail though, it might on been back on animaro forums though.

shall we revive it then?

 Nah, that one is good enough.

I think the pictures posted in the thread make it harder to read... I think urls would be better IMO...

But for people who are too lazy to read, it's fine.

How do you use a skill?

I think that guide is helpful. Pictures make it clearer.

[AceJay]

Click the skill button on your Main info box, then double click the Skill Icon you'd like. If it's an Active skill, the mouse cursor will turn to a circle/arrow icon, then you click the target of the skill. Right click the skill Name to see it's effects/info/etc.

Another way is to press F12 once.
A bar will appear with little squares.

You can click+drag skills, equipment, ammunition and items there.
You can use them by pressing the right F# key.

(Roll over the square to see they key used for that square)
This is a faster way to use skills (useful if you need to use skills often, like cart revolution)

Thanks Undutchable. That's pretty handy.

I just got a poring card; how do I put it into use?

[AceJay]

Cards are placed in Equipment Slots.

Shoes [1] mean the Shoes have one slot. To insert a card, you have to unequip the equipment, then doubleclick the Card to open a window, there you select the equipment you want to card, and it happens!

However Poring cards are for Armor, so you'll need a slotted armor.

You can't take out cards unless you pay a hefty fine, so choose wisely and plan ahead. If you get a really good weapon, don't put a bad card in it.

I think there should be guide to play RO and its basic interference

[catalyss]

Ah then I'll just hold on to it in my inventory, until I know more and what to do with it.

There is a intro guide on Ragnarok Online. I think basic interface is okay but other things are not enough or too simple. I had a hard time figuring out what to do, though still am kind of lost. So I agree there should be a more detailed guide on how to start.

Well.. since there is a need for it, I'll see what I can do...
I'll try to make a good one with nice screenies and such later.
(mind you it'll take a while to get everything done right)
It'll be done earliest tomorrow for me. I have some RL stuff I need to do too
