** Corrections, additions, and updates ** **Important** There was a huge leveling + playguide revamp patch on 12/24/2024. The number of main story battles were reduced drastically (takes you about 7 hours versus 12 hours to level up to Romel, refer to my video series on KR leveling walkthrough for details ua-cam.com/play/PL0MSvoNB9kDnXqlHJ6ykbBzu6LsUj9yBR.html ), and boss hp and attack were buffed to give a better battle experience. The skip function makes a big difference but it's yet to be implemented in NA/EU. However, gold rewards were also nerfed significantly (less than 1m compared to 12m) and leveling no longer gives you free runes (it's well compensated by the free 12 reforge runes in the Ardri seal shop though). Aside from rewards and QOL improvement, the basic system of the game will remain the same so you can still use this video for your reference. 1. Click on the "!" and "?" buttons under story (either your story panel on the right hand side of the screen or after pressing "M") to complete story dialogues without having to physically run to the NPCs. This will speed up your story completion. 2. Moving between towns during story: you should get a "Resenlian's Wing" from one of the play guide rewards (cash inventory). This lets you teleport to different parts of town across Colhenn, Rocheste, Malina, and Berbhe. Note that the way locations are written for Rocheste can be misleading; "Outside Rocheste Castle Gate" will get you to the soldier standing outside of Rocheste (en route from Colhenn). "Rocheste Fountain" is the closest you can get to the actual "Rocheste Castle" within Rocheste. 3. Using town functions remotely: "Rabi Whistle" in your cash inventory allows you to access town functions remotely. Most of the town functions are now accessible directly by right-clicking an item, but "Transform Auxiliary Equipment" can be accessed via the Whistle (original NPC Dianann). This function lets you change your auxiliary equipment type (book/shield/focus) for just 5k gold. 4. 09:20 On Rhods: you need fragments to dismantle rhods (5 per dismantle, so 10 if you plan to dismantle 2 purples to upgrade a blue), and you can only get fragments by clearing the respective space time raid (3x3=9 the first week, plus a few that comes with playguide completion). This means you need to clear Taros to dismantle Taros Rhods (Usurper's Rhod). If you want to use the ALR on the Rhod to GET INTO Taros, consider getting the green Eisen Rhod (Fallen One's Rhod) right away, as the green eisen rhod will have ALR on it in the first place (identical amount of ALR as Taros orange Rhod). The downside to getting a green rhod instead of using shard tuning to get to Taros first and then upgrading the blue taros rhod to orange are: 1) you will need to invest on a Taros rhod anyway if you want to get 4x4=16 fragments instead of 3x3=9 fragments each week and 2) you might end up buying another eisen rhod (blue/purple) as it takes 28 weeks to upgrade a green eisen rhod to orange while it takes 23/18 weeks to upgrade a blue/purple to orange. If you're aiming to enter space time 3, you might become impatient waiting for those extra weeks to get the extra stats. If this happens you will end up dismantling the green eisen rhod (dismantling eisen rhods will unlock with space time 3 release), but since it will just give 1 magic power it might not be even worth dismantling - you could end up throwing it away completely. 5. For a minimum cost/rng gearing path to Taros click here: docs.google.com/document/d/1gyQUykkKGnvkVOpWP-xaqbrMiFVKE2FNfongeRhtL7c/edit?usp=sharing 6. 04:33 As mentioned, redeemers is a very tough raid and requires several veterans/geared players to clear. Get in a large guild that hosts these and watch my guide video before entering any of these fights: ua-cam.com/video/M9iKw2jIBb4/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks for making this guide! I have a couple IRL friends that just got into the game, I'm sure they'll find it helpful since I can't explain everything to them at once haha :)
i tried playing vindi.. but it feels empty, i did meet like 3 guys in week of playing, theres a lot of bosses i would like to beat but its impossible solo
The game is basically dead up till level 110, which is something that they need to fix. All content except for Redeemers (Sea of Reflection aka Neam is the first of these) should be soloable, although not fun at all. Nexon did announce recently that they'll try to solve this problem though, so we'll see how it goes.
@@Jinn1034 Okay thanks, could you help me understand what I should do? Which instances should I do and why? There are so many of them that I don't know which to do and which not to do. I have a whole inventory of things that I don't even know what they are for, what should I throw away and what should I keep? The equipment in this game is completely incomprehensible to me. What to do? What to grind? How to get new equipment? How to upgrade it? Should I craft? Maybe get it from bosses? In general, what should I do?
@Mefarious Press M and follow the main quest (Orange in Season 1, Green in Season 2, Blue in Season 3) and ignore all yellow quests. If you have the quest panel open on the right hand side of the screen, hold Alt and press on the "!" or "?" marks to avoid having to run around town. There's nothing to grind until you reach level 110 - all you really can do is follow the main quest until you reach 110. The main quest gives you a lot of exp and gold (you will end up with about 10m+ gold from story completion once you reach 110). As I stress in this video, follow the growth missions on the top panel of the playguide (playguide icon is next to the mail icon bottom right). It will take about 12 hours of grinding the main quest (solo) to get to level 110. You can solo everything easily up until level 100, things will get a bit tough 100-105. As I say in the video don't do Sea of Reflection (Neamhain) or any of the Redeemer battles. These are end game raids and is impossible to solo for new players and you can clear main story without having to complete them. Don't enhance, buy, or craft ANYTHING until you reach level 110 - all gear until level 110 (Ardri) gear is totally worthless and the game will give you an entire enhanced & enchanted full set for free once you reach 110. In the meantime the gear that the story will throw at you from time to time (and from random drops in story dungeons) will be more than enough. For inventory organization, every gear up until level 90 is basically worthless, so throw away all your outdated gear. You can also throw away the full set gear from 90-105 every time you get the new set - those are also worthless so don't enhance them. If you run out of inventory even after throwing away all outdated gear, sell items on the market place after checking their value on the marketplace (especially scrolls - these expire in 7 days and you should not be using them without knowing what you're doing). If you have further questions, the vindictus discord community I linked in the description is a good place to find answers.
They will give you a small amount of extra gold (the gold rewards for extra objectives do become bigger in end-game raids), but I pay almost no attention to them. If I remember correctly back in the old days you needed to do them to unlock the next battle.
No you cannot. I'm not sure if the dismantle system itself is unlocked after a Taros clear, but you need fragments from Taros anyway to dismantle a rhod.
There's enough to get key weekly/daily raids done once you hit 110+, but the early game experience is pretty horrible. If you can bear the first 12 hrs or so of solo leveling until 110, you'll be able to reach raids with pretty good party combat experience.
I'm about to download the game, nice guide, but i have to say, that lot of things aren't really clear for someone who never played before. Like... after "level to 110 and get free gear" i understood basically nothing u.u I know i'm stoopid
The vid answers a lot of the most common question new players have DURING the level process. I’m sure once you’ve downloaded and get a feel for the game, you’ll start to understand some of the things that seemed confusing 😅😅 so keep this vid saved for future questions you end up having

Do the extra objectives for battles mean anything? Like the "Defeat 3 gnolls via Kick (+15 pt)" or similar?
They will give you a small amount of extra gold (the gold rewards for extra objectives do become bigger in end-game raids), but I pay almost no attention to them. If I remember correctly back in the old days you needed to do them to unlock the next battle.
so I can't dismantle Taros Rhod if I never beat him first?
No you cannot. I'm not sure if the dismantle system itself is unlocked after a Taros clear, but you need fragments from Taros anyway to dismantle a rhod.
Unfortunately it has IP BLOCK for regions other than the USA.
How many players left on this game? Curious if worth starting if looking to play with others
