Hiz all, I'm from the 'late' 7hearts Forums. My guide was on 7hearts until their servers crashed. However, cooperation from members in both Rose Guru and Gamers' Region have not only helped me to regain lost data BUT add-on to the guide! A big clap to all these people in the credits list! (Especially Tenki!)

Last but not least, please note that Bourgeois and Artisan Builds have been named DIFFERENTLY!
Bourgeois: HYBRID

_______________________________________________________________
1)Lvling from 1-30
Stats:
Add all points to str. Upon reaching lvl 10, complete the dealer quest THEN reset your stats. With your newly reset stats, add all points to CON.
Lvelv 1-10
For level 1 talk to the fairy, talk about EVERYTHING. This will give you an extra 10 stat points. After you may either
A. Stay on the beginner island and take the few quests that she gives you until you're about to level and then go to adventure plains. (you'll get more food from the fairy's quest.)
B. Leave right now. (you'll get more money, because of the hunting quest.)
Either way. You need to go over to the Fisherman and Gray (ack forgot the right names), the one straight ahead will give you quests, pick all of them and quit them later on. With this, everything you kill in Adventure Plains basically gives you 2 drops. Go back to him to claim your reward. The Fisherman gives you food every level. You may do this until level 8.
For leveling monsters, buy a toy bow and some wooden arrows. This is stronger than a +3 bamboo spear, has range as well. Put your points into whatever you plan for later, since I am unsure if the stat reset will cause you to lose the extra 10 stat points.
After Level 10, you go to Zant, don't buy a scroll, at this level you shouldn't waste your money on it. Go North until you see a bridge to the west, take it, then the one after it, from there go NorthWest until you can go straight north, go through the gate. After that, go North again until you reach a bridge to the slight east, go through it, then go NorthEast a little, then NorthWest until you pass another bridge. From there go West until you reach another gate, go through it. Now you're on the outskirts of Zant, go north slightly until you reach a ramp, go up, a little more North, then move to the West, until you run past Warren.
Talk to Warren, ask to be a dealer. He will tell you to go to the Storage Manager(forgot his name too), which will tell you to go to get him 2 quest items. One is in the outskirts of Zant to the north, and then slightly to the west, talk to the npc there. Then, the other is back in Adventure Plains, run all the way back, and then talk to an NPC there next to the Armor Seller, he will give you the other quest item. Run back to Zant.
Once you're back at Zant talk to the Storage Manager again, he'll tell you to hunt Needle Honey Bee, go to the map south of Zant, one map back. There you will find the Needle Honey Bee, once you get 15 of these quest items go back and talk to the Storage Manager. He'll give you a Recommendation, talk to Warren and now you're a Dealer, he also gives you Brown Head.
Be sure to buy a Bubble Gun, (get bullets) since Launchers have str req. After, buy the Dealer armor, Brown Vest, you should have enough. Then, buy a Leather Bag or Turtle Backshield, they'll be your first Back items.
Level 10-20
Hunt on the outskirts of Zant to the South, until you're ready to hunt the Woopies more to the NorthEast, hunt there until 20, because then you will get a new weapon, Air Gun.
Level 20-24
From level 20-24 hunt Beetle Bugs in Hill of Wing, to the east of Zant. Go across the bridge, to the east, south, then east, then north across the bridge. While you are there, do the lvl20 dealer quest which can be started by talking to Jurisis in Zant.
Level 25-27
For level 25-27, hunt lekis in Elveroon Desert.
Level 28-30
Hunt turtles more to the NorthEast. (At lvl 29/30, you might prefer to kill porkies)

Sonnet's guide has a nice intro to all the skills. I suggest you go over to have a peek  [Currently unavailable due to closure of 7hearts.net]
Korean Rose Official Website
A bunch of info from Krose. I can only make guesses with it.
Richardsck's Dealer/Hawker Calculator
Richardsck's calculator is alittle hard to use but is good for those who dont know the prerequisites for the skills. Some info missing in the skill tree and a couple of bugs. Other than that, it is a great tool which you can use to learn with. Btw, i suggest that you use a mouse with a scroll wheel. When viewing the skill chart, press down the scroll wheel and move the mouse to the right.

3)BOURGEOIS SKILLS:
HYBRID #1: My original build
Gunshot Mastery lvl 19
Heavy Shot lvl 10
Sniping (Max Out)
Combat Mastery lvl 19
Union Weapon lvl 5 (max this out just before gathering)
Zuly Pink lvl 5 (This is the pre-req for storm)
Zuly Storm (Max Out)
Econ Research (max out)
Pack Mastery lvl 3
Gathering (max out)
Skill Priority @ lvl 70 & Above:
(You should have lvl4 UW and hit the other pre-reqs by then)
1st: Sniping
2nd: Zuly Storm
3rd: Gathering
Some of you may be asking WHY i left our mercs. I left em out coz they become useless @ high lvls. Dont bother to get any of these weak summons. they are only effective @ low lvls. Even then, you will find yourself stuck along the way. It is similar to an artisan going into too many craft skills.
OPTIONAL SKILLS:
Posion Pang OR Smash Gun
Poision Pang:
To kill mobs that are charging at you with the least pots used, i reccomend Poision Pang. Although it may leech exp away due to its effects, all you have to do is poision them and run like a little school girl. Let the poision eat away most of their health and pick them off one by one later Note that the poison wont kill them. It will only eat hp and nothing else.
Animation Time: 2-3 seconds
Poisoning rate:
Poison2: 20hp/sec
Poison3: 30hp/sec
Poison4: 40hp/sec
*note that casting PP on a poisoned target will reset the posioning counter. Your attack will overwrite the existing poison on the target with it's new timer.
Smash Gun:
To kill single monsters with the intention of over killing them or fainting them( approx 10% chance at lvl 10 Smash Gun), Smash Gun has nice damage for it's low MP cost with a really short animation time.
Skill lvling stratergy: (Quick lvling guide)
Here is my little guide for bourgs whe they hit lvl 10. I suggest you buy the following skill books asap:
1st) Combat Mastery
2nd) Union Weapon
3rd) Zuly pink
*Note that the prerequisites are not posted.
1) Get lvl 3 combat mastery
2) Get lvl 1 Union Weapon
3) Get lvl 8 Combat Mastery
4) Get lvl 3 Zuly Pink
5) Get lvl 3 Heavy Shot
6) Get lvl 5 Union Weapon
7) Get lvl 10 heavy shot
Suggested Equipment for HYBRID 1&2:
Gun Bourg: Garnets + 1 Diamond + (5/6 con sen or full attack gears)
[Since the Gun Equation is 40% Dex 50% Con 10%sen', Dex will help you to dodge like a hawker and still gain a good amount of attack power. You will also be able to allocate more points into con and sen.
Cannon Bourg: Rubies + 1 or 2 Sapphires + (5/6 con sen or full attack gears)
[Since the Cannon Equation is '45%str 45%Con 10%Sen', rubies will add as much damage as sapphires and help you to take damage better. Like the gun bourgs, you can now afford to pump more points into sen.
HYBRID #2: My new bourg build (I will be using this after the reset)
Gunshot Mastery lvl 19
Heavy Shot lvl 10
Sniping lvl 10
Combat Mastery lvl 15-19 (dependent on your other skills)
Union Weapon (Dependent on your play style. PvP often = get high UW)
Posion Pang (Useful only if you often solo/PvP. Be sure to bring it to a lvl of ur choice)
Zuly Pink lvl 5 (This is the pre-req for storm)
Zuly Storm (Max Out)
Econ Research (max out)
Pack Mastery lvl 3
Gathering (max out)
This build saves more SP and allows you to get lvl 10 Sniping by lvl 89. Hybrid #1 maxes sniping at lvl 92/93.
Optional Skills:
Smash Gun:
To kill single monsters with the intention of over killing them or fainting them( approx 10% chance at lvl 10 Smash Gun), Smash Gun has nice damage for it's low MP cost with a really short animation time.
Aim Point: (not reccomended unless you got points with no where to go at lvl 1xx)
A skills that allows you to shoot beyond your normal shooting range.
Skill lvling stratergy: (Quick lvling guide)
Here is my little guide for bourgs whe they hit lvl 10. I suggest you buy the following skill books asap:
1) Combat Mastery
2) Union Weapon
3) Zuly Pink
4) Poison Pang
Skill lvling guide:
1) Get lvl 1 Union Weapon
2) Get lvl 3 Zuly Pink
3) Get lvl 1 Poison Pang
4) Get lvl 3 heavy Shot
5) Get lvl 4 Union Weapon
6) Get lvl 10 heavy shot
7) Get lvl 5 gathering
INTRO for HYBRID #2: Clearing the misconceptions
Hybrid #2 uses PP to lvl up faster. It works like mercs as it has a small AOE radius, weakening a group of mobs. Although it may leech exp off the monsters with no EXP returned, you can kill off a group of monsters faster than Hybrid 1 users. Therefore, my starting attack will be Posion Pang followed by ZP and my normal shots and/or Heavy Shot. (There isnt much of a need to spam PP as it is only at lvl 1 and has an AOE effect that does not aggro the mob affected by the poison. Only the monster directly hit by PP will charge at you)
Suggested Equipment For Hybrid 1&2 users:
Gun Bourg: Garnets + 1 Diamond + (5/6 con sen or full attack or 7/7 str dex gears)
[Since the Gun Equation is 40% Dex 50% Con 10%sen', Dex will help you to dodge like a hawker and still gain a good amount of attack power. You will also be able to allocate more points into con and sen.
Cannon Bourg: Rubies + 1 or 2 Sapphires + (5/6 con sen or full attack or 7/7 str dex gears)
[Since the Cannon Equation is '45%str 45%Con 10%Sen', rubies will add as much damage as sapphires and help you to take damage better. Like the gun bourgs, you can now afford to pump more points into sen.
HYBRID #3:
Gunshot Mastery (Max Out)
dual/triple shot(Max Out)
Combat Mastery lvl 15-17
Union Weapon lvl 4 (max this out just before gathering)
Posion Pang (optional - reccomended if you intend to go into a PvP craze)
Zuly Pink lvl 5 (This is the pre-req for storm) - Max it out!
Zuly Storm lvl 1-3 (Any higher might be dangerous while lvling!)
Econ Research (max out)
Pack Mastery lvl 3
Gathering (max out)
*New*
Weapon - Gun
Stats:
Con - just enough to hold gun but just round it up to the next nearest 10.
Eg:
Gloria Gun - 62 con
Your con stat: 70
Sen - Remainding points
Gears:
6/5 Equipment - (I suggest that you get some 3/15, 3/20 gears and mix it in - play around with the stats. Note that 3con, 20atk accuracy gears are extremely helpful.)
Gems - sapphires/peridrots/emeralds (Best would be a mix of peridrots/emeralds)
Intro for Hybrid #3:
This build is PvP oreintated. If you like to go into extreme PvP, go for mercs. Note that this build is heavily reliant on parties but is a major damage dealer in PvP. - similar to an artisan but less def and attack than an artisan.

4)ARTISAN SKILLS:
TYPE # 1:
Gunshot Mastery (Max Out)
Heavy Shot lvl 10 (Max Out)
Sniping (Max Out)
Combat Mastery
Union Weapon (Speed up your shooting rate)
Craft Mastery
Weapon Research (Max Out)
+ 1 or 2 craft skills (Choose them carefully!)
Skill Priority @ lvl 70: Part 1
Since this is a battle crafter build, power comes 1st. Therefore, sniping comes 1st.
1st: Sniping
2nd: lvl 70 craft skill 1 (Your 1st Choice crafting skill)
3rd: lvl 70 craft skill 2 (Your 2nd Choice crafting skill)
Part 1 notes:
The above skill priority is for those who plan to craft TWO lvl 70+ skills
PART 2:
1st: Sniping
2nd: Below lvl 70 craft skill (If you do have AN unfinished lvl 70 craft skills)
3rd: lvl 70 craft skill
4th: Refinment (A lvl 70 artisan skill) OR Item Seperation
Part 2 Notes:
The above skill priority is for those who have a below lvl 70 craft skill which they have maxed out or are close to maxing out due to lvl n class requirments. Do remember not to take up too many crafts. Btw, the 3rd and 4th priorities can be swapped the other way round if you like.
OPTIONAL SKILLS:
Posion Pang OR Smash Gun OR Zuly Pink
IMPORTANT!!!! - Do not take any ofthe optional skills if you plan to go with the PART 1 plans for artisans!
Poision Pang:
To kill mobs that are charging at you with the least pots used, i reccomend Poision Pang. Although it may leech exp away due to its effects, all you have to do is poision them and run like a little school girl. Let the poision eat away most of their health and pick them off one by one later Note that the poison wont kill them. It will only eat hp and nothing else.
Animation Time: 2-3 seconds
Poisoning rate:
Poison2: 20hp/sec
Poison3: 30hp/sec
Poison4: 40hp/sec
*note that casting PP on a poisoned target will reset the posioning counter. Your attack will overwrite the existing poison on the target with it's new timer.
Smash Gun:
To kill single monsters with the intention of over-killing them or fainting them(approx 10% chance at lvl 10 Smash Gun), Smash Gun has nice damage for it's low MP cost with a really short animation time.
Zuly Pink:
If you can afford this skill, it just might be a good idea to get it as it has a short animation time and nice damage.
Skill Lvling guide after lvl 10 for ARTISANS: TYPE #1
1) lvl 10 Gunshot Mastery
2) lvl 3 Union Weapon
3) lvl 2 heavy shot
Get lvl 10 gunshot mastery as fast as possible as you dont have any real damage to deal against monsters. After this, get lvl 3 Union Weapon followed by lvl 5 heavy shot. From there you can bring union weapon to lvl 5. By then, you should be about lvl 40.
---------
TYPE # 2:
Gunshot Mastery (Max Out)
Dualshot lvl 10
Triple Shot (max out for sleeping effect)
Combat Mastery (Max Out)
Union Weapon (Max Out)
Zuly Pink OR Poision Pang (Max Out)
Craft Mastery (just enough for the required crafting skills)
Weapon Research (Max Out)
+ 1 or 2 craft skills (Choose them carefully!)
OPTIONAL SKILLS:
Smash Gun:
To kill single monsters with the intention of over killing them or fainting them(approx 10% chance at lvl 10 Smash Gun), Smash Gun has nice damage for it's low MP cost with a really short animation time.
Skill Lvling guide after lvl 10 for ARTISANS: TYPE2
1)Get lvl 3 combat mastery
2) Get lvl 1 Union Weapon
3) Get lvl 8 Combat Mastery
4) Get lvl 1 Zuly Pink
You will be lvling up like a bourg but slightly slower. After you get lvl 1 zuly pink, get it to lvl 3 soonest possible followed by lvl 5 dual shot. By the time you get lvl 5 dual shot, I think you will be about lvl 34. From there, bring union weapon to lvl 5 and spend the rest of your points until you have lvl 10 dual shot then head on to Union Weapon and max it.
------------------- VERY IMPORTANT --------------------
FOR BOTH ARTISAN TYPE 1&2 BUILDS!!!
I'll TYPE this out for the LAST time. (I hope)
Do not take up Gathering. Leave gathering to the bourgs, you have 100% no need for it. At high lvls, all the clans want are your crafting skills. They will help YOU to lvl as you CRAFT stuff for THEM. (I use you, you use me. - Symbiosis)
----ADDITIONAL INFO----
FOR BOTH ARTISAN TYPE 1&2 BUILDS!!!
Start off as a cannon artisan by lvling according to the launcher equation. This wil allow you to lvl up faster and have 2 extra gem slots via a simple bowgun and a shield. Do not worry about getting poorer quality crafts as you now have greater access to a wider variety of crafting stats.
[lvl 65 marble launcher(npc stats) - 62 str requirement]
Here's a more indept explaination provided by harusame
62 str requires 339 Status points, 62 str allows you to carry slotted 1h weapon+shield = potentially +75 stats
To raise stats from 150 to 161 (CON or SEN), you need 337 Status points = +11 stats
If a pure con/sen artisan wears 6/5 doll+short sword, 12 con/10 sen will be added. However it can't match the benefits from a set of slotted g7weapon and shield.
_________________________________________________________________
5)Stats Distribution

SEN: Sensibility
-SEN increases the outcome of the item.
-Increases chance to do Critical Attack.
-Increases Skills Damage
-Increases Gun & launcher damage
Gun stats for max Dmg output:
40%Dex/50%Con/10%Sen
Ratio: 4 : 5 : 1
Cannon Stats for max Dmg output:
45% Str 45% Con 10% Sen
Ratio: 9 : 9 : 2
Example:
EXAMPLE:
I have 90 Con. Lets do some maths to find out the stats required for the max dmg output for my launcher.
Since Str and con are both 45%, Str = 90
Finding SEN:
90 = 45%
90 x 20/9 = 100%
200 = 100%
therefore, 10% = 20 sen
This means that i need 90 Str, 90 con and 20 sen to achieve my max dmg output.
Gun bourgeois:
Version 1: Pure Dex/Con (5:4 Ratio with gears)
Version 2: 40%Dex/50%Con/10%Sen (Use a rough gauge of the formula for max dmg output) - Heavy gear investments required
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launcher bourgeois:
Version 1: Str/Con (1:1 ratio WITH gears) ~ I dont know much abt launchers
Version 2: 45%Str/45%Con/10%Sen (Use a rough gauge of the formula for max dmg output) - heavy gear investments required
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gun ARTISAN:
Pure Con/Sen Raio - 1:1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launcher Artisan: (i think there are some)
Get min req for holding launcher. The rest to a 1:1 con/sen ratio
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
62 Str Artisan:
Get 62 Str, rest to a 1:1 Con/Sen ratio
_________________________________________________________________
6)Gun Bourg VS Launcher Bourg
Intro: - The Original Build
Launcher Burg probably is the original build. However, they have trouble with mobs that come by the "threes" and "fours" when soloing. Although having a longer range and higher damage than their hybrid gun burgs, they are weaker in soloing but stronger in parties at high lvls. They also carry the burden of heavy cannon balls that fill up a large amount of their inventory even with pack mastery. This is made worse by gathering which further weighs them down.
-------------------
Intro: - The New Trend
Gun Burgs have started to become a new trend with the lower cost of potions and bullets. Despite having less power and health, gun burgs are able to dodge much more than their weighed down companions, allowing them to take more hits in the long run with less potions used. Although gun burgs take in more damage than a cannon burg, their higher dodge rate allows them to have alittle more time to drink that much needed potion to keep them alive.
PROS and CONS of the two builds:
Gun bourg:
CON: - Compared to cannon bourgs
- Less HP
- Less damage and range
- Not so effective in PVP and parties
- Harder to lvl up at low lvls
- Range and damage seems to diminish SLOWLY as durability reduces ** NOT SURE**
PRO:
- Higher dodge
- Higher Attack speed
- Higher movement speed (Can run away faster from mobs)
- Faster recovery rate (Due to having more CON than cannon users)
- Most bullets are weightless, allowing the gun burg to carry more items/bullets (Can stay "outdoors" longer)
- Better survival rate against mobs
- If the item durability facts are true, gunners need not worry about durability dropping as it barely affects them. (although i reccomend that you keep the gun's life span above 80%)
------------------------
Cannon Bourgs: - Compared to Gun Bourgs
CON:
- Lower dodge
- Lower Attack Speed
- Lower Movement Speed
- Heavy ammo - causes the cannonner to return to town faster (It also becomes expensive if you switch to metals)
- Lower Survival rate against mobs
- The need to repot/reload/repair may annoy party members
- Damage greatly reduces as cannon durability wears out **NOT SURE**
PRO:
- Higher HP
- Better Def (Due to STR)
- Lvls faster at low lvls
- More effective in parties & PVP
AS you can see, the two builds seem to be at equals at each other. However, i feel that the gun burgs are better coz they can have better and more stable exp/time in a party compared to cannon burgs. (Lets assume that they both have the exact same skills)
------------------------IMPORTANT!------------------------
In my opinion, it would be better to be a gun bourg. Being without summons, they are able to tank better than their attack orientated friends.
__________________________________________________________________
7)Gun Artisan VS Launcher Artisan Vs 62Str Artisan
Intro: - The original Build
The original picture for an artisan was a not-so-strong fellow who is supported by his guns and range of high quality equipment to reduce his fragility. However, with his gun's speed enhanced by union weapon and supported by other skills and stats focused on consentration and sensibilty, he is able to critcally disable and kill his foes.
------------------------
Intro: - A new flavour!
Cannon artisans emerged when Battle Artisan builds were seen as weak and unable to meet up with the players' style and lvling time. They are a new trend which doesnt attract much attention but is sucessful in meeting the demands of the players. Afterall, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Brief Summary!!!!!!!
IF I were to compare the two, the gun artisan whose stats are pure CON/SEN has greater funtional beauty. However, it comes at a price. Being able to craft better may be his advantage but it slows down his lvling speed as he cant whip out as much damage as a gun bourg. Lets move onto the PROS and CONS. I leave it to you to decide what you want to be. Afterall, no one build is perfect. It can only come close but never fully satisfy your expectations.
------------------------
Intro: - The Best of Both Worlds
Tired of being sacrificing your crafting prowless for lvling speed or visa versa? Well, here's the artisan, 'repackaged' with an all-new play style! Excited are we? Here's the 62Str Artisan with better crafts than the average gun/cannon artisan and a lvling speed similar to cannon artisan. Built to meet both ends of your demands!
------------------------
GUN ARTISAN: - Compared to Cannon Artisan
Pros:
- Better quality crafts
- Better accuracy
- Able to crit several times in a row (Due to high sen)
- Faster HP regen (Due to high con)
- Cheaper Ammo
Cons:
- Less HP (Due to STR)
- Less Def (Due to STR)
- Lvls slower
CANNON ARTISAN: - Compared to Gun Artisan
Pros:
- Higher HP (Due to STR)
- Higher DEF (Due to STR)
- Able to tank better (Due to HP & DEF increase)
- Higher Damage
- Can lvl faster
Cons:
- Inferior crafts compared to gun artisans of the same level
- Heavy cannonballs to bear
- High ammo costs
62Str Artisan: - Competing with Gun/Cannon Artisans
Pros:
- More hp/def than a gun artisan
- Better lvling speed than a gun artisan
- Better quality crafts/more flexible stats
- Has a choice of using either gun/cannon(when you get bored or have to switch to guns for better damage # high lvls)
- Can use cannon shells/bullets/metals as ammo - depending on choice of weapon
- More weight capacity than a gun artisan
- More effective at PvM than a Gun Artisan
- More effective at PvP than a Cannon Artisan
Cons:
- Less hp/def than cannon artisan but can come close to it via +str gears
- Slightly slower lvling speed than a Cannon Artisan
- Has to switch to guns after some time for better dmg (after a very long time  )
- Less weight capacity than a cannon artisan
- Not as PvP effective as a Gun Artisan
- Not as PvM effective as a Cannon Artisan
8)Survival of the Fittest!

All of you might be wondering WHY a gun artisan owns all the other dealer hybrids at PvP although it is the worst the most at PvM and is the hardest to lvl up. According to several posts, several bourgeois have been owned by Gun Artisans wearing G7 peridrots and their high crit rates + Union Weapon. This is made worse by the crazy amount of SEN the Gun Artisans have. This allows the artisans to use triple shot with the chance of giving 3 critical shots in one skill. This makes an artisan's Triple Shot more powerful than a bourgeois's Sniping.
Last but not least, you might be wondering why the gun artisan with TYPE 2 build is a failure at PvM. At lvl 100+, you will be lvling against purple mobs most of the time. Triple Shot's sucess rate for Slow and giving crit shots are poorer and end up doing less damage than sniping.
9)Which route to take?
A very common question posted by those new to the dealer class. If you want to hunt like a merchant of death, earn good money and rewards with your charming influence and lvl quickly @ the same time, go for bourgeois. I'm sure you'll enjoy the more offensive side with greater returns.
If you love to make ur own stuff to sell, are very patient and love to take the test of time by challenging yourself to the slow but steady growth of wealth, i'm sure you'll enjoy being an artisan especially if you want to help your friends/clan mates forge silver sheen swords and other equipments.
Last but not least, i would reccomend that all beginners with the dealer class should start with bourgeois if they plan to have an artisan in the future. Although it may take time, it will help you collect the much needed capital, materials, items and more imprtantly, help you get a rough feel of the dealer class.

Use bean bullets/fire bullets (they cost the same)

Additional Tips:
1) BASE YOUR AMMUNITION ON YOUR INCOME (especially artisans)
11)Friendship
I know that this is probably an area other guides usually dont venture into but I see quite alot of dis-harmony in this game. Here are some tips that you can use to socialise with other players and earn a good reputation. This is especially important to crafters. If you are the best crafter in ROSE and are very rude to me, chances that I will go to you for crafting services are slim because I simply dont trust you.
Basic:
1) Refrain from using haxor language (all the 1337 lanuguage)
2) Refrain from using phrases such as, "Pr3P2r3 T0 B3 0wn3d T0 T3h M@X!!". They are hard to read, annoying and simply out of place.
3) Refrain from Kill Stealing. If you cant take the kings on your own, dont touch them.
4) Refrain from PKing others as much as possible unless you are in a 100% PvP arena. (Best would be to avoid such places)
5) Dont scold those who PK you. Msg them after you die and ask them why they did so.
6) Try to reverse situations with KSers/Botters by giving them lines such as, "KSers are weak noobs".
7) Dont use hacks/bots or any illegal means to gain lvls/zuly/items, ect.
Moderate:
7) Make friends with those lvling up near you by starting a conversation. This goes double if they have been lvling near you for more than 30 min. A simple, "Hi!" or, "Hello [insert player name]", would be nice.
8) After meeting a large group of people, get them together and lvl up as a team. Try to keep a conversation running in the team.
9) If your team works well as a group, set up regular parties to gain each other's trust.
Advanced:
9) Suggest to your team to reularly exchange items for each others' benifit. EG: muse EQ go to muses, dealer equip go to dealers.
All of you are probably wondering why I chose to type this out. I suppose it is the influence that came upon me when I played HelBreath with my guild, Wing and a Prayer. We were like a online family and had very good relations with each other.
Another point to note was the great community sprit HelBreath had. Almost all the players were nice to each other and enjoyed being friends with one another. Infact, some of us even had friends from the other city that we were supposed to fight against.
In my fairest of opinion, most ROSE players lack the initiative to start these conversations. I realised this when I created HydrogenBomB to test a new method of lvling bourgs up. I know that most of you here are probably SGers/Malaysians. No offence but quite a good number of your fellow countrymen have left a bad impression on me especially when I played GunBound.

13)Tips for Beginners!
This section is specially made for those who are new to the game, cant fully understand the guide or are new to the dealer class. Basically, this is a summary/crash course specially made for them.
However, here are a few things to note.
1) I do not hate mercs/summons. I prefer to move about quickly and strike fast. Summons kinda weigh you down to a spot. (It is alittle hard to move with them) However, they are a waste of points for artisan wannabies.
2) Do not flame me for being low lvl and posting such a long guide that may not suit your playstyle. All these builds above are 100% functional and is all up to you to manipulate them/change them to your needs. (Each build has it's strong points)
Now lets' begin!
1) Follow the 'Lvling from 1-30' guide (Written by CD, proof-read/edited by me)
2) Decide early on which weapon you want to use
3) If you cant decide which class to take, go for Bourgeois.
4) Use Hybrid #1 but get summons
5) Never let your summons get more powerful than you.
(Try to leave them at lvl 1 until you reach lvl 70. Be sure to get lvl 5 employ to summon 3 of them)
6) PLAN OUT YOUR SKILLS!! there are hell levels you must look out for!
They are: 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 85 and 99
