December 2024 Update Preview 2024년 12월 업데이트 예정 사항 안내

Translated from the official kRO Zero announcement. Original

Hello.

Ragnarok Online Zero adventurers, this is the RO1 Studio Zero Team.

The Zero Team is currently focused on updating the 3rd Job classes and Episode 3-1 to coincide with our 7th anniversary in December.

We would like to inform adventurers about the content being prepared for the December update.

1. New Episode 3-1 [Voice of the Goddess]

1) Episode 3-1: Voice of the Goddess

[Episode 3-1: Voice of the Goddess] will be updated as the sequel to [Episode 2-3: Garrison Invasion].

A new threat is approaching Midgard. The danger hidden within the Arunafeltz Papal State, which was thought to have overcome its crisis, is beginning to reveal itself. You must help the Pope, who desperately wishes to protect Arunafeltz and the world.

With the Episode 3-1 update, the Grey Wolf Village and Grey Wolf Forest areas will be opened.

---------------------------------[New Areas: Grey Wolf Village and Grey Wolf Forest]

2) Memorial Dungeon: [Echo of the Goddess]

Alongside the episode, a new Memorial Dungeon [Echo of the Goddess] will be updated, accessible from level 200 after clearing the episode.

[Shigrun] This is it!

3) New Equipment Items

With the addition of the new episode area, new equipment items will also be added.

You will be able to encounter a variety of new items and enchant effects in the new area.

----------------------------------[23 new weapons are scheduled to be added.]

---------------------------------[11 new armors are scheduled to be added.]

------------------------

4) New Stats: Trait Stats

Six new stats will be added with the 200-level items.

  1. Power Atk (P.ATK) A stat that increases the character's final physical attack power by a percentage.

  2. Spell Matk (S.MATK) A stat that increases the character's final magic attack power by a percentage.

  3. Resist (Res) A stat that reduces physical damage taken before physical defense is applied.

  4. Magic Resist (Mres) A stat that reduces magic damage taken before magic defense is applied.

  5. Heal Plus (H.Plus) A stat that increases the final healing amount by a percentage.

  6. Critical Damage Rate (C.Rate) A stat that increases the unique critical hit specification of "140% damage increase effect."

2. 3rd Job Classes

The 3rd Job classes, which are the upper-tier classes of the Transcendent classes, will be updated.

3rd Job classes can be changed into from the existing Transcendent classes (Base Level 200/Job Level 70).

Upon changing to a 3rd Job class, you can grow up to (Base Level 230/Job Level 30), and the cap on base stats will be applied as 130.

3. Maximum Level Expansion

Along with the episode, the maximum level of Transcendent classes will be expanded to level 200, and upon changing to 3rd Job classes, it will be further expanded to level 230.

Expanded classes will be extended to level 230 without a separate job change, and the job level will be expanded from 60 to 70.

Along with the level expansion, the base stat cap for Transcendent and Expanded classes will also be expanded from 125 to 130.

However, stat points will only be granted up to level 200, and no additional stat points will be granted beyond level 200.

4. Base Experience Adjustment

As the maximum level is expanded, the required experience for the 161 to 170 level range will be significantly reduced.

2) Element System Overhaul

Along with the 3rd Job update, the element system will be further overhauled.

Currently, higher monster levels are set to represent stronger monsters, but the elemental affinity values have been applying higher damage as the monster's level increases; this will be changed so that affinity values are applied according to the monster's strength instead.
