Hello. Ragnarok Online Zero adventurers, this is the RO1 Studio Zero Team. The Zero Team is currently reviewing feedback delivered through the Sakray server's advance updates. We apologize first for the fact that the Q2 update has been delayed longer than expected due to additional development work aimed at providing more enjoyable content. We would like to inform you about the content updates and changes planned for Q3 2024.
1. New Memorial Dungeon [Central Laboratory]
The [Central Laboratory], announced through the Q2 developer notes, was originally developed as content where players could randomly encounter various bosses to obtain boss cards, but we are attempting various changes to create content unique to Ragnarok Online Zero. While maintaining the original concept of [Central Laboratory] and the boss card rewards, additional development is underway so that rewards can be obtained through a new battle with the boss [Sakray]. We ask for your anticipation for the newly designed Memorial Dungeon [Central Laboratory], the highest difficulty content.

Varmundt: I used magic. I'll explain later.
[Varmundt] Her name is Sacrea, the Magic Swordsman. A slaughtering swordsman dominated by the demonic sword Tartaros. <The Great Sage 'Varmundt' participates in the experiments of [Central Laboratory].>

Jakulai (0%) <You will engage in battle with the sword-wielding mage [Sakray], controlled by Tartaros.>
2. Beginner Tutorial Added
The tutorial overhaul revealed in the Q2 developer notes will be applied. When creating a character, adventurers will begin their journey at Creatura Academy, and after completing a simple tutorial, they will be able to immediately change to their first job.

3. Memorial Dungeon [Poring Village] Overhaul
The current Memorial Dungeon has various inconvenient elements and issues, and both the development team and adventurers playing the content have had to endure these inconveniences. To improve this, the structure and convenience of Memorial Dungeons will be overhauled in stages. As the first step, the Memorial Dungeon [Poring Village] overhaul will proceed in the following directions.
1) Entry level changes 2) Removal of entry count limits 3) Changes to reward list and reward distribution method 4) Changes to content progression method
The existing maximum level restriction for entry will be removed so that characters above a certain level can also participate.
Additionally, the limits on dungeon entry and progression attempts will be removed, allowing repeated challenges, but rewards will only be given once per day.
The dungeon progression method will also be improved by reducing unnecessary movement paths to increase progression speed, and monsters that appear inside will no longer drop items or grant experience.
Rewards can be obtained from the "
Treasure Box" that appears after clearing the Memorial Dungeon quest, and as before, both day-of-the-week rewards and general rewards will be given.
※ Details on reward changes will be announced through official website notices at the time of the future update.
4. MVP Boss Enhancement and Boss Raid Overhaul
MVP boss monsters that randomly appear at set intervals in fields and dungeons will be changed from simple survival encounters to a raid format where adventurers cooperate to hunt them.
1) Changes to Boss Summon Area and Summon Method
The hunting grounds where regular monsters appear will be separated from the space where boss monsters are summoned, and MVP bosses will now appear in a separate area.
An NPC for entering the boss zone will be installed on the map where the boss monster used to be summoned, and you will only be able to move to the boss zone during the boss summon time.
Ex) Example of
Orc Hero summon time and despawn time
Orc Hero Summon Time: 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, 18:00
Orc Hero Despawn Time: 1:00, 7:00, 13:00, 19:00
Orc Hero Available Hunting Time: 0:00–1:00, 6:00–7:00, 12:00–13:00, 18:00–19:00
The boss summon method will also change from the previous system, where the boss respawns a set time after being killed, to a system where it is summoned at fixed times and locations.
A summoned boss monster will automatically despawn when the despawn time arrives. (No rewards can be obtained upon despawning.)
2) Reward Overhaul and Distribution Method Changes
Upon entering the boss zone, a boss monster hunting quest will be issued, and when the boss monster is killed, rewards will be automatically given to the inventory. (Same method as regular hunting quests.) As before, the MVP reward will be given to only one person based on contribution. Along with the change in reward distribution method, the reward list will also be changed to strengthen the purpose of farming boss monsters.
3) Boss Monster Status Adjustment
As MVP bosses become cooperative content that is hunted together, the HP of MVP boss monsters will be significantly increased. Stats other than HP, such as attack power, will be adjusted to match the boss monster's level, allowing anyone capable of hunting in the surrounding area to participate as well.
5. Reputation Content Update
To support beginners, a reputation system linked to Orc Village and
Goblin Village will be applied.
Depending on the reputation rank, players will be able to use dedicated shops offered in the Orc and
Goblin villages.
The dedicated shops will sell items useful for the beginner stage, and the types and prices will vary according to the friendly reputation rank.
Completing daily quests related to Orcs and
Goblins will affect the reputation with the Orc and
Goblin villages.
6. Change in the 3rd Job Update Method
After announcing the 3rd Job update through the mini community meeting, we were able to hear various opinions and concerns from adventurers, and various attempts related to skills were made through the Sakray server. Additionally, the development team has been internally developing and reviewing various approaches for the 3rd Job update.
Taking into account the various attempts made for the 3rd Job update, the resulting feedback and opinions from adventurers, in-game balance after the 3rd Job, and the current system structure, we have determined that changing from the Trans 2nd class to the higher 3rd Job is the best direction, rather than the method announced at the community meeting. Therefore, the 3rd Job update will proceed as an advancement from the Trans 2nd class to the 3rd Job.
Aspects that could significantly affect in-game balance will proceed together with the 3rd Job update, and details related to the 3rd Job update will be announced through the next developer notes.
The above content is still under development, so details may change upon future updates. Please refer to the official website notices for detailed information at the time of the update.
Thank you.
