Hello.
Ragnarok Zero adventurers, this is the RO1 Studio Zero Team.
The new year of 2024, the Year of the Blue Dragon (甲辰年), has dawned.
We hope this year will be filled with happiness alongside Ragnarok Zero,
and we would like to inform you about the content updates planned for Q1 2024.
1. Illusion of Luanda
As the first update of Q1 2024, the Illusion of Luanda dungeon, the final story of Illusion Series Season 1, will be updated.
**
It is a totem glowing with a faint blue light.
Touch it. Leave it as is.
Confirm Cancel**
Set against the backdrop of Luanda Cave, touching the totem drawn by a glimmer will begin a new adventure.
This story involves helping Mr. Luanda, who is struggling to stop monsters invading the village. At his request, you will investigate a flickering phenomenon that keeps appearing and disappearing, uncovering its secrets.
Why is the village alternately being invaded by the Utan tribe and the Megalith tribe?
In Illusion of Luanda, rather than fixed monsters appearing, monsters from two tribes (Utan tribe/Megalith tribe) will alternately appear, and unlocked Illusion weapons will drop.
<Unlocked Illusion weapons are planned to be added.>
More details can be found through the Sakray update.
2. Episode 2-3: Invasion of the Allied Forces Post
[Episode 2-3: Invasion of the Allied Forces Post], the final story of Episode 2, will be updated.
Rumors that the Midgard Allied Forces Post is recruiting an investigation team have spread, and investigators and researchers from each nation are beginning to gather.
As some encounters with a new race from another world are realized, new research continues alongside them in order to purify the region contaminated by 
Bijou.
<A special item is required to communicate with the race from another world.>
In this episode, a new Memorial Dungeon will be added where you will battle Himmelmez, and new armor providing various effects is being prepared.
<New armor is planned to be added as a new MD reward.>

[2024 Sakray Plans]
As announced through the mini community meeting, the Ragnarok Zero team plans to test various update directions, including 3rd job classes, through the 2024 Sakray server, gathering sufficient feedback from adventurers before proceeding with updates.
As the first step, testing related to Trans classes will begin from Q1.
1. Skill Consolidation and Adjustment of Acquisition Conditions for Each Class
Skill consolidation and adjustment of acquisition conditions will be carried out for regular 1st/2nd (Trans) classes and expansion classes (Ninja).
The skills being consolidated are largely being prepared in the following directions.
1) Skills that do not significantly break the concept of the class when consolidated
First, Zero aims to ease skill builds that are forced upon certain classes by consolidating some skills among the same lineage of Trans 2nd classes, thereby increasing the diversity and freedom of skills so players can enjoy more convenient gameplay and choose from a variety of skill builds.
2) Balance adjustments through skill consolidation and adjustment of acquisition conditions
Similar to skill consolidation, acquisition conditions for some classes will also be eased to increase the freedom of skill builds and improve the usability of various skills.
Overall skill changes will be applied sequentially to the Sakray server and will be announced through Sakray notices.
We plan to proceed after sufficient testing on the Sakray server and reflecting the opinions of adventurers, so we ask for your valuable feedback.
