Talk to him and he will warp you in thinking you are a staff member. (Silly Guard!)

Talk to Kellasus who is standing at the top right corner of the room.

2. .:CREATION ITEMS:.
You can create an Embryo by using Pharmacy (Prepare Potion) with the required materials.*
All of these materials can be purchased from the Alchemist Guild in Al de Baran.
*Or @go 25 from the Alchemist dealer located there.
Keep in mind the materials are expensive and there is a chance to fail in the creation process just like creating potions...

To make your Homunculus, you'll need to buy and have the following items:

A Potion Creation Guide- Buy one from the Alchemist dealer @go 25 if you don't already have one.
1 Medicine Bowl- Buy these from the Alchemist dealer @go 25
1 Morning Dew of Yggdrasil- 20,000-15,200
1 Seed of Life- 60,000-45,600
1 Glass (Seperation) Tube- 5,000-3,800

You can buy all the items needed from the NPC at @warp alde_alche 37 184
It's always best to buy up enough to make 3 or 4 embryos.

Use your "Pharmacy" skill to make an embryo.
Once you have the embryo use "Call Homunculus" skill to "create" one.
The one you get is random, and so, you may choose to delete what you get for a different type.
To do so, hit Alt+R, then hit the button that says Del.
Make sure you have enough embryos and just keep trying until you get the one that you want.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. .:HOMUNCULUS TYPES:.
Each Homunculus has two different forms even though the skills are all the same once at max levels.

~Versions One~
1. 2. 3. 4.
1. Amistr --- Defense Melee
2. Lif --- Defense Magical
3. Filir --- Offense Melee
4. Vanilmirth --- Offense Magical

~Versions Two~
1. 2. 3. 4.
1. Amistr --- Defense Melee
2. Lif --- Defense Magical
3. Filir --- Offense Melee
4. Vanilmirth --- Offense Magical

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. .:SETTINGS, COMMANDS, & SKILLS:.

Alt+R, this brings up your Homunculus's status window.
Here, you can delete your homun, set your homunculus's skills, or feed it.

Alt+T, this is the "stay" command. For Filir and Vanilmirth, it'll make them stay by your side. Handy for sitting in town.

By right clicking your mouse on your homunculous you can bring up the mini menu.
You can change your homunculous from passive to agressive, feed it, or open the stats window from here as well.

---------------------------------------------
@homtalk, like @pettalk, just something fun for you to fool around with.

@hominfo, this is really valuable. With this, you can check the exact intimacy level/points and stats of your homunculus.

Just like your characters a homunculous can get skill points and can learn and level up skills.
Each type has it's own skills and attacks. Please not the following!
You can not get the fouth skill until you have "evolved" your homunculous into it's "adult" form.

~:Amistr:~
Castling - Instantaenuously switch the location of the player and the Homunculus.
The monsters that were attacking the player will now attack the Homunculus instead.
Defense - Temporarily increase DEF of the Homunculus and the player.
Adamantium Skin - Pernamently increase the DEF, Maximum HP and HP regeneration rate of the Homunculus.
Blood Lust - For the spells duration, Homunculus's damage is increased and every attack has a certain chance to leech 20% of the damage as HP.

~:LIF:~
Touch of Heal - This works exactly like the Acolyte's Heal skill, healing the target HP.
The healed amount depends only on the Homunculus's LV and INT. Each cast requires 1 Condensed Red Potion.
Emergency Avoid - Helps avoiding dangerous situations by temporarily increasing player's and Homunculus's movement speed
Brain Surgery - By training the Lif you increase her Maximum SP and SP regeneration rate.
This also increases the effect of the Touch of Heal skill./[i]
Mental Change - [i]For the skill's duration, Homunculus's Maximum HP and SP are switched.
Non-skill attacks are increased by the Lif's MATK value.
Upon activation, Homunculus's HP is fully healed. After the skill's duration has ended, HP and SP are set to 10.

~:Filir:~
Moonlight - Order Creature to attack the target with its beak hitting the target for SkillLV times with a total damage bonus of 110*SkillLV%
(maybe this is total damage NOT bonus).
Fleet Move - Temporarily increase ASPD by +3*SkillLV and Attack Power by 105%+5*SkillLV% of Filir
(maybe the increase is only 5+5*SkillLV?).
Over Speed - Temporarily increase the Flee Rate of your Homunculus by 10+10*SkillLV.
S.B.R.44 - Lower your Filir's intimacy level in exchange for high damage to a single target.

~:Vanilmirth:~
Caprice - Use one of the Bolt-type spells. Homunculus decides randomly which one it uses, you can not influence its decision.
The skill level used for the random Bolt-type spell depends on current skill level of Caprice.
Chaotic Benediction - It randomly uses Heal up to the current Chaotic Benediction skill level to either one of the following: Player (you.)
Or the enemy that you are attacking, or the Homunculus itself.
Change Instruction - Increase your Homunculus's INT and STR.
Bio Explosion - Homunculus self destructs and inflicts defense ignoring damage on everything within a 9x9 square around it.
The damage is based on the Homunculus Maximum HP, and after the attack, its intimacy is reduced to 1.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. .:LEVELING ETC:.
Just like your characters Homunculous level via killing monsters. The max level for them is 199.
With Filir and Vanilmirth its very simple to level them, they merely attack anything in a dungeon.
Thus those two types get experience and level fairly easy and quickly.
Lif and Amistr, however, defend, so the monster must attack you or you attack it first for them to retaliate or join in.
A good dungeon the start in is @warp pay_dun01, then @moc_pryd04.
I finished mine up @warp ice_dun02

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. .:FOOD:.
Each Homunculus eats different types of food:
Lif - Pet Food (Sold in Prontera Taming Merchant @warp geffen_in 73 142, OR Taming Merchant @go 25)
Amistr - Zargon (Sold in Geffen Item Shop @warp geffen_in 73 142)
Filir - Garlet (Sold in Geffen Item Shop @warp geffen_in 73 142)
Vanilmirth - Scell (Sold in Geffen Item Shop @warp geffen_in 73 142 OR Alchemist Merchant @go 25)

A lot of various monsters also drop the needed food items.
Check out: http://ratemyserver.net to find out what and where to find them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7. .:INTIMACY:.
This is a big factor in your homunculous' life. The eventual goal of all homonculous' is to evolve into it's "adult" form.
To do this, your homunculus' intimacy will have to be completely "Loyal."
Then, you use a Sage's Stone to evolve it. Unfortunately, they have to have 100k intimacy points to be loyal.
And feeding them when their hungry only raises their intimacy by 100.

Intimacy Chart:
Hunger%---1-10%-----11-25%---26-75%---76-90%--91-100%
Status------V.Hungry--Hungry---Normal-------Full------V.Full
Intimacy*--(+)5 0------(+)100----(+)75-------(-)5------(-)50
*Points Obviously you should never feed your homunculous past 75%

Hostile-Unfriendly-Akward-Shy-Neutral-Cordial-Loyal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8. .:EVOLVED ADULT FORMS:.
A Sage's Stone is required to evolve a homonculous into it's "adult" form.
Kill a "Baroness of Retribution" angel type monster in thanatos tower to get it to drop one.
@warp tha_t11 is a good spot.

~Versions One~
1. 2. 3. 4.
1. Amistr --- Defense Melee
2. Lif --- Defense Magical
3. Filir --- Offense Melee
4. Vanilmirth --- Offense Magical

~Versions Two~
1. 2. 3. 4.
1. Amistr --- Defense Melee
2. Lif --- Defense Magical
3. Filir --- Offense Melee
4. Vanilmirth --- Offense Magical

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9. .:HOMONCULOUS AI ERROR:.
Recently evolve your homonculous and suddenly the AI program that came with the game stopped working?
Like every time you teleport or log in with it an error box pops up saying:

".AI/USER_AI/Extra.lua:221:invalid option to 'format'"

You'll need to download the Last updated version file from this source page:
http://www.mirandablade.altervista.org/ind...irai&lng=en

MirAI Homunculus User A.I. for Ragnarok Online
Please extract the files in the sub-folder AI/USER_AI and then type /hoai within your RO client.
In order to switch from the default AI to this user AI

Thanks to Jem for posting the link there, and to the awesome person whom made that page.
I had that error myself, and let me tell you something it was pretty darn annoying!
