Neospector

I'm going to remove reference to this player's name for safety's sake.

That character is not a GM. A GM has the following attributes:

• A name matching their standard username followed by the world they are in (I.E. KanisonWIN -> GM Kanison, in Windia)
• A white Wizet-logo hat, often (though not necessarily) accompanied by a corresponding suit, pants, and briefcase (with the Wizet logo)
• A special floating "GM" effect above the character's head
• A white-background chat box, to make their messages stand out.
• Are typically invisible to normal players, except during GM special events (such as Omok or special summon events in towns)

GMs also do not appear on the rankings, but neither do previously-banned characters, so you shouldn't assume a character is a GM because they aren't on the rankings.
If you are unsure, check the character appearance; if they don't have the briefcase, hat, or special effect, they are not a GM. Further, a GM does not need your password information to log into your account, they can do so directly, so if a character asks for such information it is an immediate disqualifier.

Impersonating a GM is against the rules, but as far as I've seen this character isn't actively trying to impersonate a GM, and in fact their name looks to be a coincidence.

Edit: I am also removing reference to the other character you mentioned. They were either lying, or you may have misinterpreted. You may report the character who told you they were a GM to Nexon via a ticket.

Alliance skills are not permanent. They are part of the Tenebris Expedition event, and will be removed when the permanent Tenebris area is put in.

This is an example on a slope 130 without applying any enhancements or stars, the same goes for the Trixter 150, Pensalir 140, Utgard (weapon 140) or 120, 110, accessories, etc. all items dropped and cleaned, with open or closed potential, until they buy clean to discard and nothing, I put that capture because there would be many for all those that I have tested.

You have 4 upgrade slots remaining on the solid pendant. You have to use up the scroll slots first, then you can apply stars to the item.

When you're fighting monsters around your level, an orange portal will randomly appear. When you enter it, you'll either speak with Pollo or Fritto.


Pollo


Fritto

You'll then be teleported to an area to finish one of 6 missions.

Pollo's missions are:

• Protect Pollo: Mobs will charge at you and Pollo from either side of the map. Your objective is to kill them before time runs out without letting Pollo's HP drop to zero.
• Guard the Castle Gates: Mobs will spawn from 2 portals (one on the upper level, one on the lower level) and make their way across the map. Your objective is to kill them before they reach the other side.
• Catch the Stormwing: You'll be put in a map full of lots of monsters. Your objective is to kill as many as you can within the time limit. By killing the Stormwing monster, your time will be extended by 6 seconds (up to an additional 30 seconds).

Fritto's missions are:

• Eagle Hunt: A minigame where you use your mouse to aim and shoot a rifle at eagles bouncing around the screen. Eagles are worth 50 points, Dark Eagles are worth 100 points, and Golden Eagles are worth 200 points. Kiyos are also in the map, and give a 50-point penalty if you hit one.
• Egg Stealing: You'll be transported to a large vertical map with two platforms on either side, with hidden portals on either platform. Your objective is to guess the right platform combination that gets to the top.
• Courtship Dance: Fritto will dress up as a chicken to steal their eggs. Your objective is to complete the chicken dance by pressing the arrows in the combination appearing at the top of the screen.

Pollo's missions reward EXP from the mobs you kill. Fritto's missions reward minor EXP upon completion and up to 2 reward pouches depending on how many points you got (3 pouches with the Alliance skill).

These missions are not to be confused with the Inferno Wolf, which has a different portal (red, with a wolf head on it). Although Pollo tasks you with killing the Inferno Wolf, the wolf is not a bounty hunter mission.

For once, I agree; this thread has gotten entirely out of hand. Specifically because you refuse to accept any advice given to you, and reported at least one comment for "harassment", despite the comment in question containing absolutely nothing but sound, polite advice.

As others have pointed out numerous times, you should make efforts to improve your gear:

• Collect your class' Emblem
• Fight Zakum for the Eye and Face accessories; the set bonus provided by the Boss Accessory set will be worth it. You indicated in a PM to me that they were ugly, in which case I advise waiting for a transparent item sale, or using a fusion anvil.
• Try upgrading to Pensalir gear. It's very common in training areas around your level, and hardly a grind.
• Try fighting Horntail for the Silver Blossom Ring and Horntail Pendant.
• Try the Heizan dungeon to obtain Kanna's Ring, Hayato's Shoulder, and Ayame's Belt.
• Start the Gollux questline by accepting the quest "[Crimsonheart] To Grendel's Library" located under the lightbulb icon on the left-hand side of the screen. Some of the Gollux accessories can be farmed by killing the shoulders and abdomen, as it is not necessary to kill Gollux's head if you do not want to.

There are guides available online which can lead you through content quickly and without issue.

For upgrade materials, you should make use of in-game systems to obtain things like cubes and scrolls:

• Use the Fairy Brothers' Daily Gift to obtain things such as cubes and flames. Assuming you started the Daily Gift today, you would receive a Powerful Rebirth Flame in more days (2 flames if you are at least Bronze-tier MVP). The daily gift only requires 300 mob kills a day, and the gift can be claimed by clicking on the green calendar icon on the lower-right section of the screen and selecting "Daily Gift".
• Use the Monster Collection to obtain reward points, spell traces, and occult/master cubes. Monster Collection might be difficult to set up, but once you have a good collecting of monster sets you can regularly obtain rewards on a daily basis. You may try going for the Chryse set; it's a relatively easy 24-hour expedition to obtain, as it does not include any elite monsters, and two of the monsters appear during a stage that involves dozens of mobs spawning at any given time, meaning they're rather easy to collect.
• Reward points can be used to purchase red and black cubes, as well as safety scrolls and such. Bosses and monster collection are the primary earners of reward points.
• Set up your legion by having at least 500 levels across all characters total in a particular world. Once you have your legion set up, any characters in your legion will earn coins for you, even while you're offline. Legion coins can be used to purchase Powerful Rebirth Flames, Epic Potential Scrolls, Master Cubes, Bonus Potential Scrolls, and so on (as well as EXP coupons and leveling potions for your future characters).

Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with Root Abyss boss mechanics. For normal RA:
Von Bon

• Jump over or duck beneath Von Bon's energy balls
• When Von Bon jumps, jump as well; make sure you aren't on the ground when he lands. You will know Von Bon is jumping because he will make a distinctive noise.
• Lure Von Bon into the black clocks, and make him avoid the white clocks. Black clocks increase the time you have in the battle, white clocks decrease.

Pierre

• Try to keep yourself some distance away or otherwise behind Pierre, to avoid his umbrella
• Dodge his hats by noting the markers on the ground
• Pay attention to his color when he changes, and the color of the hat you're put in when he changes. As the battle states, attacking Pierre when you're wearing the same color hat as him will heal him
• For Blue Pierre, simply double-jump through him and run to the other side of the map
• For Red Pierre, simply move away when he vanishes.

Crimson Queen

• Avoid Crimson Queen's breath. It cannot be tanked unless you possess a skill that grants invincibility from %HP attacks, a skill that absorbs a one-hit KO, or if you are in a party and all party members stand inside the breath
• Stay out of reach of Crimson Queen's claws, they will inflict various status conditions; her claws can be avoided by jumping through Crimson Queen behind her.
• Do not attack Crimson Queen when she triggers her damage reflect (denoted by the blood-red barrier surrounding her)
• Kill Crimson Queen's Mirror as soon as it spawns, such as by using skills that target multiple mobs. If you do not kill the mirror, it will seduce you and kill you.
• Double-jump out of the way when Crimson Queen spawns her vortex.

Vellum

• Double Jump out of the way any time Vellum comes out of the ground. Watch the ground for the yellow markers (indicating where Vellum will pop up) and his normal digging
• When Vellum is about to fire his meteors, his growl will be different. Pay attention, and try to stay behind Vellum at all times
• When Vellum fires his poison, he doesn't growl differently, the poison will be denoted by the green markers on the ground.
• When Vellum is about to jump, the yellow marker will be much larger. You may attack Vellum with certain ranged attacks while he is jumping, but not all of them will hit

Finally, if gearing up proves difficult or impossible, find a party, or someone to carry you through. I will note that this may be more difficult than simply getting better gear, however, as you're attempting to do regular Root Abyss, and not many people offer carries for normal mode.

Please don't dismiss other users trying to help you, or call them names and insult their intelligence, or report them for merely trying to help. The people in this thread are, to an extent, only trying to help you get better at the game so you can have a more enjoyable experience with these bosses. When you dismiss and berate them, it comes across as egotistical, rude, and haughty.
Your account's age isn't particularly a selling point on authority; many users, such as myself, have also been here for many years. We are trying to help you become better; an account being older doesn't make it better if you don't put in the effort to try.
That's all the advice I can give. If you don't want to follow it, that's your decision.

Thread close reason: thread derailment, infighting.
