How to Become a Rookstayer
Reach level 8 while still having vocation None.
Visit the Grand Rookie King above the free-area Oracle.
Say hail king. A simple “hi” is rejected because the King demands respect.
Ask about Rookstayer, listen to the permanent warning and confirm with yes.
Permanent decision: once the oath is accepted, the character cannot return to None, choose a Mainland vocation or leave through The Oracle.
What Magic Level Changes
Magic Level 1
Rookstayers receive Magic Level 1 immediately. This allows them to use the Intense Healing Rune (IH), sold exclusively by Pretty Natty in Rookie Town.
Magic Level 2
Ancient Minondas raises a promoted character directly to Magic Level 2 during the Supreme rite. The promotion does not undo the permanent Rookgaard commitment.
Supreme Rite
Ancient Minondas
Only Premium Account Rookstayers who have reached level 15 or higher can undergo the rite and become Supreme Rookstayers. After the promotion, the improved per-level growth applies to future levels.
Rookgaard can be more than your beginning.
Reach level 8, greet the Grand Rookie King with hail king and decide whether Rookie Town will become your permanent legacy.
