Introduction

Fistful of Zeny is the main quest that kicks off the Rock Ridge expansion in Ragnarok Online. It introduces players to the story and setting of the town while serving as the gateway to unlocking all the side quests available in Rock Ridge. These side quests let you explore more of the town’s Wild West-inspired theme, uncover its mysteries, and earn useful rewards. If you’re planning to get the most out of the Rock Ridge content, starting with Fistful of Zeny is a must.

The original quest title is supposed to be ‘The Captured, the Uncaptured, the Busy,’ based on the infographic shared in the official website posting. However, due to the title used by other official servers, we will also refer to it as ‘Fistful of Zeny.

This quest will reward you with experience and Rock Ridge Coins, which can be used to exchange for equipment and enchanting.
