As an avid Roblox MMORPG fan, I was thrilled when the ambitious bender simulator Avatar Rogue Benders first launched last year. Choose your elemental path and master incredible powers? Sign me up! Many sleepless nights of questing later, I‘ve compiled my best tips here for new players on starting your bending journey.
Origin Story: How One Fan‘s Passion Project Brought Avatar to Life in Roblox
Avid gamer Assi Frick had long dreamed of bending the elements like Aang in Avatar The Last Airbender. Why hadn‘t anyone brought this iconic magic system into a game yet? When Roblox introduced developer incentives allowing top creators to profit from their passions, Assi knew this was his big chance.
Teaming up with his friend Emil in Sweden, the duo taught themselves Lua coding from scratch and sacrificed their social lives for over a year. The result? Avatar Rogue Benders – a sprawling RPG where each player can finally live out their childhoodAvatar fantasies!
Choose fire, water, earth or air mastery and compete on global leaderboards to become the ultimate bender. With a meticulously crafted map spanning iconic locales like the Air Temples and Crystal Catacombs, no stone was left unturned recreating the show‘s world.
Avatar Rogue Benders has deservedly built a passionate community over its first year. Here‘s everything a rookie needs to know to catch up and master all four elements!
Choosing Your Destiny: What Bending Style Suits Your Personality?
Each element in Avatar Rogue Benders comes with dramatically different playstyles. Like taking a Buzzfeed quiz, your innate temperament will mesh better with some bending arts over others!
Hot-Headed Firebenders enjoy playing aggressively, unleashing fiery carnage and flurries of rapid attacks. You‘ll thrive on high risk/high reward quests like raiding volcano dungeons teeming with enemies.
Sturdy Earthbenders have more chilled out temperaments, finding joy in building defensive structures and withstanding enemy assaults. Your steady playstyle will lean towards economical quests like mining ores or transporting supplies.
Free Spirited Air Nomads live for exploration, gliding over new terrain and finding hidden secrets. Customization also matters – be sure to express yourself through styling vibrant airbender tattoos!
Fluid Waterbenders bend best when going with the flow, adapting to circumstances moment-by-moment during quests and PVP. Your flexible play will tend towards diplomatic questlines like resolving village disputes.
I‘ll cover starting tactics for all styles shortly. First, let‘s ground ourselves in some basics.
Avatar Rogue Benders 101: Core Gameplay Mechanics, World Map and Quest Types
Mastering moves: Unlike combat or magic in other Roblox RPGs, bending is learned actively through repeat practice. Find spots connected to your element in the natural world, then meditate there repeatedly to internalize its energies. With enough mastery, approach trainers to learn new moves and advance ranks towards bending master status.
Economy: Cash rules everything in Avatar Rogue Benders. Aside from element mastery limits, cold hard Yen is the main bottleneck to progress. Quest rewards and occasional enemy/environment loot drops are your income sources. Prioritize profitable repeatable quests to finance your bending.
Getting around: Given the massive map spanning iconic locales like the Air Temples and Water Tribe Ice Caps, transport unlocks are crucial goals. Gliders, rafts, sand skiffs – work towards these to access new quest hubs and advance the main story.
Quest flavor: Tasks range from combat raids in dungeons to using your bending for construction, deliveries and gathering rare resources. Or undertake spirit world dreamscape quests to discover your past lives! Diplomacy missions where you adjudicate village disputes are great for testing mastery of ethics and your element‘s philosophies.
Now let‘s break down starter quests and master moves for all four bending arts!
The Fierce and Proud Firebenders: Agni Kais Await!
As a proud firebender, I live for the thrill of combat dungeon raids and showing off destructive capabilities. And where better to start as a fiery novice than the volcanic Fire Nation archipelago?
Getting started: Seek out instructor Aziron in the main city to acquire beginner moves Inner Fire and Fire Punch for 400 Yen. Meditate in his nearby Inner Fire circles until Element Level 10 to learn Fire Kick and Steam Propulsion.
But to start honing real power, complete the Volcano Girl quest atop the ashen mountain outside town. She pays a nice 150 Yen for locating a ‘rare artifact‘ (actually an basic ore).
Early mastery: Now work towards Jet Propulsion (Level 20) for rapid mobility and Flame Daggers (Level 35) to start dealing heavier damage. Costs quickly escalate to thousands for moves, so optimization is vital even early on.
I‘ve compiled key firebender quest and move unlock costs below:
| Quest/Move | Description | Rewards | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volcano Girl | Find ‘rare artifact‘ in volcano | 150 Yen | – |
| Aziron Training | Learn Inner Fire ability | Inner Fire | 400 Yen |
| Aziron Training | Learn Steam Propulsion | Steam Propulsion | 1,200 Yen |
| Defeat Boki Rebels | Raid fire dungeon hideout | 500 Yen | – |
| Master Zaron Training | Learn Jet Propulsion | Jet Propulsion | 2,500 Yen |
| Flaming Ore Gathering | Deliver ores by volcano | 350 Yen | – |
| Zaron Training | Learn Flame Daggers | Flame Daggers | 5,000 Yen |
Optimizing fire proficiency: The key is stacking rapid attacks like Steam Propulsion and Flame Daggers for deadly combos. Time these alongside Jet Propulsion dashed for epic mobility. Agni Kai fire duels are the true test – wager Yen bets on PVP wins to finance your next moves!
True firebending mastery comes from consuming flames, not avoiding them. Let your fiery passion flow freely – just beware, risks can burn clumsy novices…
Earth Kingdom Questing: New Earthbenders Start Here
Whereas firebenders thrive on improvisation and risk, we sturdy earthbenders lean towards stability and reliability. The mineral-rich Earth Kingdom provides bountiful opportunities to get started on steady footing.
Basic training: Meet instructor Subterra inside the main upper ring palace at Ba Sing Se. Meditate within his Carbon earthen circles until Element Level 15 to learn Ground Smash and Earth Surge move for 500 Yen.
Quick cash: Now complete handyman quests for officials like ‘Gradient Board Delivery‘ using raised earth slides. Build enduring structures from tough jennamite and basalt – earthbending makes construction and transport quests very profitable. These will quickly raise mastery for better moves.
I‘d recommend this progression path early on:
| Quest/Move | Description | Rewards | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palace Rubble Cleaning | Repair damaged facade | 350 Yen | – |
| Guru Lahima Training | Learn Seismic Sense | Seismic Sense | 800 Yen |
| Gradient Board Delivery | Transport goods with earth slides | 150 Yen | – |
| Master Subterra Training | Learn Earth Smash | Earth Smash | 1,200 Yen |
| Verdant Vest Outfit | Earth armor buff | +15% earth damage | 1,500 Yen |
| Slate Slabs Outfit | Improved earth armor | +30% earth damage | 3,000 Yen |
Cultivating patience: Unlike our fiery rivals, earthbenders know slowing down is often fastest. Quest at a measured, economical pace to accumulate cash and mineral resources. With enough stones and ore for constructing defenses, we can withstand any frontal assault.
My fellow earth souls – may your foundations stand steadfast against the shifting sands of time!
Air Nomad Questing: Enlightenment Awaits Those Who Soar Freely!
My airbender journey has been a true test of letting go what weighs me down and finding freedom through unattachment. While burnishing our great temple cities into majestic restoration, here‘s how any novice can ascend to windborne greatness.
Basic training: First, climb the perilous mountainside to the Northern Air Temple and meet wise instructor Persphone. After collecting air relics like Nomad masks scattered inside the temple, she‘ll agree to teach Gust and Air Swipe moves for 400 Yen.
Ascension: With basic moves learned, prepare for a true test of faith – brave the howling gale winds and climb to the absolute peak of the temple‘s mountain. Only those with utter conviction achieve this perilous pilgrimage! Atop the snow-swept summit you‘ll meet ancient guru Laghima in deep meditation. For 1,200 Yen he unlocks the secrets behind Tornado and Air Bombardment abilities.
Enlightened gliding: Every airbender should immediately save up 500 Yen for a wooden glider at Lilygear‘s shop. This flying staff allows crossing vast terrain effortlessly and reaching hidden cliffside locations other players must hike towards for hours! By staking rare mountain herbs, I quickly saved for upgrading to the 1,500 Yen Storm Glider with greater speed and stability during turbulence.
As air is the element of freedom, roam wander the map freely while opening your chakras to cosmic wisdom…
Mysterious Water Tribe Questing: Sailing Uncharted Seas
We fluid waterbenders begin our mystical journey awakening atop a tiny frigid island, as adrift and small in this universe as flakes in a snowstorm. But through harmony with our surroundings, mighty torrents of power can flow even from humble streams.
Finding flow: Meet mentor Koral and learn your first moves of Water Whip and Bubble Storm. Now sail your humble raft along ocean currents towards settlements like Coral City and Glacier Peak Village to take on public service quests.
Fishing tasks taught by elders like Nanouk hone spiritual attunement with water‘s pull. And what nobler duty than adjudicating village disputes over fishing rights or ice floe navigation? For learned waterbenders, the universe always provides a path of least resistance.
Mastery from adaptability: As any great wave or midstream boulder can redirect flows, seek adventure wherever the tides may take you. Complete bounty boards offering rare delicacies from remote isles only accessible during annual solstice glacial melts.
While fire and earth rely on attacking bluntly or holding ground stubbornly, we waterfolk know every crisis brings opportunity. Master quests only possible through changing strategy moment-by-moment – adapt and watch your power grow exponentially!
Common Early Game Goals All Benders Should Prioritize
While paths for mastery differ by element, certain essential unlocks will accelerate your journey regardless:
Transportation should be your first big purchase after basic moves and gear. Quests locations are vast so upgrades like air gliders, sand skiffs and rafts drastically quicken travel and complete more profitable missions.
Wealth snowballs quickly so consistently re-invest cash into the most lucrative gear, moves and quests you can access. Whether slaying canyon crawlers for rare scales or resolving a shipping lanes dispute, let profits flow into further optimizing your playstyle!
Social Capital Matters Too so join a bender squad early on. Top groups like the Nomad Explorers, Fire Ferrets and White Lotus Knights give access to exclusive quests, loot shares and bending discords. Lifelong friendships can flourish by finding your community!
Preparing For End Game Dominance and Server Fame
You‘ve mastered basic moves, completed all story quests and want to ascend to unparalleled bending supremacy. What‘s left? Prepare for these epic end game challenges:
Ranked PVP Leagues: Think you‘ve honed bending to perfection? Prove your prowess in ranked Warzones against the best server benders across all elements. Scoring big in seasonal leagues brings fortune and glory! Just know losses also deduct hard-earned Yen…
Secret Societies: Exclusive clans like the Sun Warriors, White Lotus and Order of the Phoenix offer legendary gear and abilities to those sworn to secrecy. But applications require mastering arcane rituals or solving clues in spirit world trials.
Avatar Destiny: Legend tells of one bender every decade who can bridge our world and the Spirit Realm, bending all four elements in harmony. But transcending the cycle of reincarnation requires profound mastery of body and soul through years of spiritual devotion. Are you the chosen one fated to bring balance to the elements?
My friends – go boldly bend where no gamer has bent before! Whether coveting ranked glory or eternal cosmic oneness, may we all quest towards realizing our highest calling…
Now get out there and bend your best! This has been your definitive 2000+ word masterclass from a Rank 47 firebending veteran. I‘ll see you adventurers in the Earth Kingdom caverns and Water Tribe ice floes as we push the limits of what‘s possible together!
