Whitesmiths are one of the best farming classes in Ragnarok M: Eternal Love, thanks to their AoE skills and passive skills that let them earn significantly more Zeny and loots from monsters.
This guide will teach you the proper stats, skills, equips and grinding spots for a farming Whitesmith build.
Overview
Like Wizards, the Whitesmith’s high damage output, damage-increasing buffs, and their AoE skills Hammerfall & Cart Revolution allows them to one-shot a group of mobs in a spawn area. This allows for insane, efficient Zeny or material farming.
In addition, they also have passive skills that let them receive more Zeny and loots dropped by monsters, compared to other jobs.
You can use this build for your main or alternate Whitesmith character. The main difference is that alts will not be investing on Runes.
Whitesmith vs. High Wizard for farming
There’s been a lot of debate about this frequently asked question:
Should I go for Whitesmith or High Wizard as a farming class?
The short answer is:
Whitesmiths are are more expensive to setup, since they are more dependent on gears and runes than High Wizards
. That’s why Wizards are better overall as a starting class for beginners.
Whitesmiths are also ideal as an alternate farming character. Most players create an alt Blacksmith and leave them at around level 60+ (when Steam Goblin farming slows down) to use for
Pet Adventure
, since beyond that point you’ll have to start investing on Runes and expensive gears to be an efficient farmer.

Stats Build
20-30 DEX
99 STR
Rest to INT / VIT
Firstly, you’ll need a minimum of
20 DEX
to be able to hit monsters. High attack damage is useless if all your attacks miss.
Next, pump your
STR
to
99
to maximize melee damage.
Finally, put the rest of your stats to
INT
for increased SP pool and SP regen, as you’ll be using skills a lot.
If your Whitesmith is purely for farming only, you won’t need survivability. Otherwise you can add a bit of
VIT
for other purposes (PVP, etc)
Skill Build
Merchant
Fund Raising 10
Cart Attack 10
Enhanced Cart 10
Loud Exclamation 10
Fund Raising
is an essential skill for farming, letting you earn 20% more Zeny when killing monsters. You should max it as early as you can.
As a Merchant, your main source of damage will be from your Cart skills.
Cart Attack
is a great single target skill that lets you take down monsters quickly at early levels.
Finally, maximize your damage output even more by pumping skill points to
Enhanced Cart
and
Loud Exclamation
.
Blacksmith
Enchanted Stone Craft 1
Hammerfall 5
Over Thrust 5
Weaponry Research 10
Weapon Perfection 10
Cart Revolution 3 (if not alt)
Skin Tempering 5 / Change Cart 5
Skin a Flint 1 (Lv 4 for alts)
Enchanted Stone Craft
is the first skill you should get, as it gives you a chance to get Magic Fuel from monster loots. Just 1 point is enough.
Next, max
Hammerfall
as it will be your first AoE farming skill.
Cart Revolution
will be your other farming skill during the late game. However, you will need to invest on Cart Revo Runes for it to be efficient. Therefore, for alt WS farmers who don’t want to invest on Runes, just stick with Hammerfall as your main AoE skill and Cart Attack as a single-target skill. With the right equips and buffs (see below), you’ll be able to one-shot a group of mobs using either of these two skills, turning you into an insane zeny farming machine!
Max
Over Thrust, Weaponry Research
and
Weapon Perfection
for the additional attack damage.
Skin Tempering
combos with Doom Axe, giving you +10% Fire damage for every skill point in Skin Tempering. This is useful when farming on monsters weak to Fire, such as Orcs, Stings and Undead monsters. (Related:
Guide to Elements
)
Finally, the remaining skill points will go to
Skin a Flint
and/or
Change Cart.
Whitesmith
Cart Boost 1
Greed 10
Trading Master 1
Overthrust Max 5
Human’s Heart Light 5
Max Skin a Flint or Skin Tempering
Max Buying Low and Overcharge
Get
Cart Boost
first for the movement speed bonus.
Then max
Greed
—the other farming skill unique to Merchant classes that gives them a chance to get double loots from monsters. Get at least one point on
Trading Master
too.
Overthrust Max
is another skill for maximizing your damage. You’ll want to use this at higher levels only as it costs 5,000 zeny per cast every 3 mins. It adds 50% damage too, which is pretty high when you have high base ATK.
Human’s Heart Light
is a great passive skill that reduces damage taken from Demi-Human enemies. You’ll want this maxed when hunting Orcs and Kobolds as they are both of Demi-Human race.
Finally at late game, you can reset your skill points and replace Cart Attack and Enhanced Cart with
Buying Low
(Discount) and
Overprice
(Overcharge), two classic Merchant skills that will let you save/earn more zeny.

Equipment
Gears for Whitsmiths are pretty straightforward, though you have lots of other options too. The most essential pieces are
Doom Axe
,
Ancient Cape
and
Rosa Bracelet
, so prioritize those first.
Obviously you’ll want to enhance, refine, upgrade and enchant them with +Atk or Ignore Def modifiers.
Headgear
Cat Ear Beret
Hockey Mask
Spiked Scarf
Devil Wings
Weapon
Buster –> Doom Axe (+10% Fire damage for each level of Skin Tempering)
This is where you can start to farm very efficiently. Aim for one-hit Hammerfall on Steam Goblins in Goblin Forest. Then pick a spawn point of 3 Steam Goblins and leave your character on Stay Alert. Steam Goblins also drop Coal which you can craft into Tights to easily sell them in bulk.
You should be able to easily outfarm all other classes, such as Wizards using Heaven’s Drive. Your only competition would be fellow Hammerfall Blacksmiths.
Level 50–70
Steam Goblins (Goblin Forest)
Dustiness / Metaller / Mantis (North Prontera)
Munak / Bongun / Eggyra (Payon Cave)
Alternate Whitesmiths usually end at this point. You can either delete the character and start over, or use them for Pet Adventure. Tip: send a Savage Babe and a Yoyo (Intimacy Lv 5 on at least one of them) to the Lv 60 Pet Adventure to get 3 Chests per run! Lv 61 Pet Adventure is great too, target the Minorous for that sweet Mino Card which costs 9-10 million zeny.
If you want to continue using the alt WS to farm though, you can still do so, as you won’t need heavy Rune investment until around level 70-80+.
Level 70+
Orc Warrior, Orc Archer, High Orc (Orc Village)
This is where investing on expensive gears and Cart Revolution Runes is required to farm efficiently.
Similar to Steam Goblins, pick a spot where a bunch of Orcs will spawn and aim for 1- or 2-shotting them with Cart Revo. If you’re still working on your gears and Runes, try using the other methods above for increasing your attack damage (see previous section).
I have saint armor, garment and rings, which one if them are usefull and which arent?
You thinl you could maybe compare each saint vs non-saint setup?
Amazing guide, i was doing horribly at farming with my bs haha
only the rings is useful, use saint shoes also if you have one, but the rest are useless if youre not looking for the exp bonus. tights at III tier gives you 8% patk which definitely better than saint armor, and 15% def ignore from ancient cape couldnt be replaced by saint garment.
Thanks for the reply, i think same as you but just wanted to check when to make the transition. I don’t have the saint shoes and i think the rings are no longer worth since my lack of sp regen is too bad even thou they give very good dmg.
If you have the saint hammer instead of doom axe…do you still put points in “skin tempering” or do you place it elsewhere? Is the skill build the same for saint hammer?
no you shouldnt increase skin tempering if you dont use doom axe, there will be no atk increase, but if youre looking for the damage reduce then it is certainly a good point, but you wont need it on farming anyway.
I know this is a noob question, but where could I get these equipments you’ve stated? I am currently at lvl 45 but I’m still using advanced eden equipment
Cat Ear Beret – Need to be Rank C to buy the blueprint in Prontera
Floral Bracelet/Rosa Bracelet – Craft in Izlude
Tights – Craft in geffen
Buster /Doom axe – Craft in Prontera
Ancient Cape – Just buy from Exchange or Hunt Alice
Shoes – Buy from exchange
Devil wing – Finish quests in Glas Heim to unlock the recipe
Accessories – Daily Rift
I still prefer saint axe than doom axe because my doom not give more damage yet,but can you advise me for shoe and ring? I still use saint shoe,saint ring and str ring,i it worth to invest on shoe (not saint) and luna broch? have you idea for combination in accecories?
If you can have base atk of 2k++ better to change saint shoe to rune boots for ace go for slotted luna brooch and have marine sphere card or kaho card cheaper slotted ace
If i’m going to reset my skills as a WS and want to invest runes in Cart Revo. Do I still need to put points into hammerfall? If not, where do i put the extra 5 points?
To upgrade Doom Axe to Tier II needs “Normal Precision Stone”
This stone requires blacksmith to have “Enchanted Stone Craft Lv.5” to craft it by the character.
But you recommended only 1 skill point for “Enchanted Stone Craft”
How do I get the Normal Precision Stone then?
It is not selling at the exchange.
I bought mines at Exchange. Unless they are all sold out, just wait for a smith to go and craft it lol… Because you don’t wanna try and craft it. You success chance at your lv is very low. May waste more zenny making it than buying it. Id say wait. I just tier 2 my axe yesturday too so uh, i was one of those buyers lol.
Hi, Can you make a sniper (trapper or any) farming build like this and the wizard one? It’s still one of your recommended farming characters right? Thanks, this is much of a help.
There are many on YouTube. Check them out. Basically, till you hit breakthrough, you farm Petites using a Trapper build. And after you reach job lvl 50, you can either move to an ADL build and farm Ridewords, or you can do a Multifiring build and farm Kobolds or Stings/Anolians.
Dude i am so surprised I read your name here. Your blogs about WordPress coding really helped my ass out a lot of times. Just wanna extend my thanks to you. Keep rockin’!!
Anyone here using Fire Axe for Orcs Farming? What should be the minimum base Atk to 1hit orcs usinn the Fire Axe? Inalready have Doom Axe and can easily 1hit orcs, now I wanted to try using the Fire Axe so I won’t be using fire converters anymore.

Is this a good farm? Blacksmith (level 62)
– After 270 minutes combat time, I get around 200,000-230,000 zeny (without lightning chain)
-I get around 200,000-230,000 zeny (with lightning chain up until 180 minutes)
– I one hit hammer fall 3 goblin(axe)
Correction in farming anolian, you should use rough wind not great nature.
I have updated the guide, my bad. 😀 Thank you for the heads-up!
Fullblack Dagger –> Holy Dagger cant be equiped by blacksmith try swordmace
holy dagger can, fullblack nope
I have saint armor, garment and rings, which one if them are usefull and which arent?
You thinl you could maybe compare each saint vs non-saint setup?

Is really ok to 2-shot orcs? 1-shot them is pretty hard with no runes.
Why move farming spot, from anolian mobs to toy factory at level 90+?
Which skills do you use on AFK auto farming?
over thrust – weapon perfection (if needed) – loud exclamation – cart attack/revo (depends on where you farm)
additional skills – cart boost (if you walk around when farming) – adrenaline rush (if you use auto attacks instead of CA/CR)
If you have the saint hammer instead of doom axe…do you still put points in “skin tempering” or do you place it elsewhere? Is the skill build the same for saint hammer?
no you shouldnt increase skin tempering if you dont use doom axe, there will be no atk increase, but if youre looking for the damage reduce then it is certainly a good point, but you wont need it on farming anyway.

I mean RANK D for the cat beret LOL
I still prefer saint axe than doom axe because my doom not give more damage yet,but can you advise me for shoe and ring? I still use saint shoe,saint ring and str ring,i it worth to invest on shoe (not saint) and luna broch? have you idea for combination in accecories?

Hey there,
If i’m going to reset my skills as a WS and want to invest runes in Cart Revo. Do I still need to put points into hammerfall? If not, where do i put the extra 5 points?
pretty easy to get rank D imo.
Saint Axe give to me 22k dmg
Doom Axe give to me 18k dmg
With skin temp lvl 5
So, why i have that huge difference?
You need to use Flame heart, for it to be effective, it says “extra fire damage +10%”, which means your element needs to be fire.
if you use your BS for farming don’t buy doom axe ; saint axe is already good unless this is your main.
Thanks can we have more classes quide ^^
What is trading master for? I don’t really understand the description given.
trading master to access exchange anytime makes it convenient to farm since you don’t have to go to exchange to sell loots and buy converters
How do you farm Anolian with just 20-30 Dex? O.o
I’m over 80+ and still mising sometimes.

To upgrade Doom Axe to Tier II needs “Normal Precision Stone”
This stone requires blacksmith to have “Enchanted Stone Craft Lv.5” to craft it by the character.

Should I buy all the weapons first? and then focus on farming?
I mean, Should I farm for my weapons first and farm for my main character afterwards?
How can i farm if i need those weapons?
Is this a good farm? Blacksmith (level 62)
– After 270 minutes combat time, I get around 200,000-230,000 zeny (without lightning chain)
-I get around 200,000-230,000 zeny (with lightning chain up until 180 minutes)
– I one hit hammer fall 3 goblin(axe)
Correction:
-I get around 300,000-350,000 zeny (with lightning chain up until 180 minutes)
So if you have alt character you dont need them to do the dailies?
