Even on a high-rate server, having a steady source of income will make your progression much smoother. You will need zeny for supplies, gear upgrades, trading, convenience, and preparing for stronger farming routes. This guide will help new players understand how to earn zeny efficiently in the early stages of the server. ### Why Zeny Matters A lot of beginners focus only on leveling, but zeny is what supports your growth. You need zeny to help with: * consumables and healing items * equipment upgrades * buying useful gear from other players * refining and progression systems * travel, preparation, and general gameplay costs * building long-term farming efficiency A player with stable zeny will usually progress faster than a player who only rushes levels. ### Your First Starting Resources New players begin with: * **100,000 Zeny** * **Freebie Box** This gives you a small starting push, but it is not something you should waste carelessly. Use your starting resources wisely. Your goal is to turn that early support into a stable farming routine. ### The Basic Rule of Beginner Zeny As a new player, the best zeny methods are usually the ones that are: * easy to repeat * safe for your class * low-cost to farm * consistent * realistic for your current level and gear Do not chase advanced profit methods too early. First, build reliable income. ### Main Beginner Ways to Earn Zeny #### Sell Monster Loot One of the easiest beginner methods is simply farming monsters and selling their drops. This works well because: * it gives both EXP and income * it is simple and repeatable * it helps you learn farming maps * it requires no advanced setup Even basic loot can build up quickly if you farm consistently. #### Farm Valuable Materials Some monsters may drop materials, consumables, or items that are worth keeping or selling. These can be useful for: * NPC selling * player trading * quests * crafting or progression systems As you play more, you will start recognizing which items are worth more than ordinary loot. #### Use Auto Loot Properly Make sure you use the right loot commands while farming. Useful commands include: * `@autoloot` * `@alootid` * `@autoloottype` These help you collect valuable drops more efficiently and avoid wasting time. #### Learn Good Farming Spots Your income improves a lot when you farm in the right place. A good beginner farming map should offer: * monsters you can kill quickly * decent loot value * low supply cost * consistent spawn density * safe and repeatable farming That is why the **Farming Spots Guide** will be important after this page. #### Use Server Systems Siege of Midgard RO also includes custom systems that can support your economy. Examples include: * **AFK Farming** * **Fishing** * **Mining** * **Gold Room** * **Siege RO Coins** These systems can give players additional ways to earn value beyond standard monster grinding. ### Beginner Zeny Priorities When you first start making money, do not spend everything immediately. Your early zeny should usually go toward: * basic supplies * useful starter gear * weapon improvement * farming efficiency * survivability upgrades Good spending creates more earning power later. ### Good Beginner Zeny Habits Build these habits early: #### Pick Up Useful Loot Do not ignore drops just because they seem small. Small profits add up over time. #### Know What to Sell and What to Keep Some items are better sold to NPCs. Others may be more useful for player trading or future progression. #### Avoid Unnecessary Spending Do not waste zeny on random items that do not improve your farming or leveling. #### Upgrade With Purpose Every early purchase should help you earn better, survive longer, or progress faster. #### Farm Consistently Consistency matters more than chasing one lucky drop. A player who farms steadily usually builds wealth faster than someone who waits for rare luck. ### Gold Room and Server Currency Based on the current server setup, players also have access to: * **Gold Room farming** * **Siege RO Coins** These may become important parts of your long-term economy path depending on how the server systems are balanced. As a beginner, you do not need to master them instantly, but you should know they exist and will likely become more important later. ### Zeny vs. Leveling One of the biggest beginner questions is: “Should I level first or farm zeny first?” The answer is usually: **do both when possible**. A good early route is: * level until your class feels stable * farm while leveling if the loot is decent * improve gear gradually * switch into better income routes as you get stronger This is better than pure leveling with no income or pure farming while underpowered. ### Beginner Mistakes to Avoid Try not to make these common zeny mistakes: * spending all your starting zeny too early * selling everything without checking value * ignoring useful drops * farming monsters that are too slow to kill * copying advanced farming methods too early * wasting supplies on inefficient maps * focusing only on EXP while staying poor A rich beginner is not the one who gets lucky once. It is the one who farms smart. ### Signs Your Zeny Route Is Working Your current method is probably good if: * you are gaining zeny steadily * your supply costs stay manageable * you can afford useful gear upgrades * your farming feels consistent * you are not constantly running out of money These are signs of stable early progression. ### Simple Beginner Zeny Plan A practical beginner plan looks like this: 1. Use your starter zeny wisely 2. Turn on auto-loot tools 3. Farm monsters you can kill fast 4. Sell basic loot consistently 5. Save for meaningful gear upgrades 6. Learn better farming spots 7. Explore custom economy systems later This gives you a strong foundation without overcomplicating things. ### Summary To earn zeny as a beginner in Siege of Midgard RO: * farm consistently * use auto-loot commands * sell useful monster drops * choose safe and efficient maps * avoid wasting your early money * invest in gear that improves your farming * learn custom economy systems over time Strong zeny habits early will make the rest of your progression much easier. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
