# Getting Started

# Download and Install

Welcome to OceaniaRO. This page covers the basic setup process so you can get in-game with the least friction.

## Before You Begin

- Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
- Use the latest client and patch files provided by OceaniaRO.
- If you have older Ragnarok files on your PC, keep this install in its own separate folder.

## Download Steps

1. Open the official download page from the main OceaniaRO website.
2. Download the full client or the recommended package listed there.
3. Save the files somewhere easy to find, such as your desktop or downloads folder.

## Installation Steps

1. Extract the downloaded archive using 7-Zip or a similar tool.
2. Place the game files into a clean folder.
3. Run the patcher or launcher included with the client.
4. Allow the patcher to finish before starting the game.

## Recommended Setup Notes

- Do not install the client inside protected system folders such as Program Files unless you know how to handle Windows permission issues.
- Keep the game in a simple folder path if possible.
- Let the patcher complete fully before trying to log in.

## If Something Goes Wrong

- If the patcher fails, close it and try again.
- If the client does not launch, check that your antivirus has not quarantined any files.
- If you are unsure whether your files are current, re-run the patcher first.
- If problems continue, use the support path in Discord and include a screenshot of the error.

## Next Step

Once the client is installed, continue to **Registering an Account** and make sure your login details are ready before first launch.

# Registering an Account

Your game account gives you access to the OceaniaRO server and related account functions. Use the official control panel or registration link provided by the server.

## How to Register

1. Open the official registration page.
2. Enter your preferred username and password.
3. Provide any additional details required by the form, such as email if enabled.
4. Submit the form and wait for the confirmation message.

## Choosing Good Login Details

- Use a strong password that you do not reuse elsewhere.
- Write your account details down somewhere safe.
- Make sure you can type your password correctly before your first login attempt.

## Important Notes

- Your panel account and game account are usually the same unless the server states otherwise.
- Do not share your password with anyone.
- If email verification is used later, make sure you enter a real address you can access.

## If Registration Fails

- Check that the username is not already taken.
- Re-enter your password carefully.
- If the page errors out, wait a moment and try again.
- If the issue continues, contact support through Discord.

## Next Step

After your account is created, move to **First Login** to make sure your client and account are both ready.

# First Login

Once your client is installed and your account is ready, you are set for your first login.

## First Launch Checklist

- Make sure the patcher has finished updating.
- Open the game using the server launcher or recommended executable.
- Have your account username and password ready.

## Logging In

1. Start the client.
2. Enter your account username and password.
3. Select the game server if a selection screen appears.
4. Create your first character and enter the world.

## What To Do First In-Game

- Read any welcome messages or starter guidance presented by the server.
- Check your inventory for starter items.
- Visit the main starter NPCs or town services if the server points you toward them.
- Open the New Player Guide for your early progression path.

## If Login Fails

- Confirm that your username and password are correct.
- Make sure the account was registered successfully.
- Re-run the patcher and try again.
- If you see a connection or version issue, ask support before repeatedly changing files.
