Blacksmith Cart (High Speed Cart Ram)

BlacksmithAoE farming and auto-farm (Lv.40-69)As of 2026-09-25 (SEA)

Build byIvo PlayOSLinkPJVCGameplay.tips

Spam High Speed Cart Ram with a heavy cart. Cart damage scales with cart weight, so fill the cart before spending on gear. It is the easiest Merchant route to auto-farm with, and it leads into the Whitesmith cart build at level 70.

Our take

The RO New World team's own view

  • This is our pick for Merchant players who want an easy auto-farm on a small budget, since High Speed Cart Ram costs nothing to cast once Unfair Trick is level 10. Players who want active, hands-on mobbing may prefer Axe Crit.
  • Our order: fill the cart first with about 30 Heavy Iron Boxes, max High Speed Cart Ram and Unfair Trick, then chase Royal Orcish Axe II and the Overloaded Cart and Fatal Greed affixes.
  • The most common mistake is spending on gear while the cart is still light. Cart skill damage can more than double once cart weight passes 5,000, so cheap boxes from the general shop are your best first upgrade.
  • Verdict: the most practical Merchant route to level 70, traded for a playstyle that leans on cart weight rather than attack speed. Level Weapon Perfection too; it is your main value in 10-player party content.

Stat Priority

  1. 1. AGI
  2. 2. STR

Priorities vary here: some run near 71 AGI / 29 STR since attack frequency matters more than raw damage for the cart, while others push STR to about 70-90 first as the core stat, then VIT and DEX.

Rotation

  1. Auto battle handles it: High Speed Cart Ram, Sidekick and basic attacks on repeat.
  2. Fill the cart first: buy about 30 Heavy Iron Boxes from the general shop until it's full. Cart skill damage can more than double once cart weight passes 5,000.
  3. Auto-farm monsters from 10 levels above you down to 5 levels below you for the best efficiency.
