Hello. This is the RO1 Studio Zero Team, greeting the Adventurers of Ragnarok Online: Zero. As we welcome the final quarter of 2026, we thank all the Adventurers who have continued to be with Ragnarok Online: Zero, and we would like to inform you about the content updates planned for Q4 2026.
1. New Episode: [Darkness of Verus]
As a sequel to [Episode 4-2 Varmundt's Legacy], [Episode 4-3 Darkness of Verus] will be updated.
【Sigrun】 Yes, since we don't know what dangers lie ahead, I will take the lead.
Next <Who could the woman encountered within the dimensional gate be?>
The dimensional gate that closed after Valkyrie Shasha and Tatio fled has opened once more. Sigrun and her companions enter the unknown world to stop the Goddess Freya's scheme.
<Who could the woman encountered within the dimensional gate be?>
What is Shasha's plan? What happened in Tatio's homeland?
Look forward to the final story of Episode 4.
2. Illusion of Twins
A new mission for the Illusion Research Squad, [Illusion of Twins], will be updated in Ragnarok Online: Zero. Illusion of Twins is a dungeon based on an unknown space discovered underground in Morroc's Ant Hell. Adventurers will face powerful enemies within an inescapable hallucination.
<Illuminate the crack of an irresistible hallucination.>
Among the Adventurers exploring Ant Hell, rumors have begun to spread about an unfamiliar space that feels like wandering through a hallucination. While individual experiences vary, most who enter end up agonizing over their own existence within the irresistible hallucination and fleeing, but those who could not resist their curiosity and ventured deeper named the space the "Garden of Perception." As a member of the Illusion Research Squad, the player searches for a companion who entered the strange space alone, and within the inescapable hallucination, comes face to face with beings that closely resemble themselves. If you survive and uncover the secret, honor and rewards will follow.
【Miroco】 I'm Miroco, and that over there is Hollanda. And one Ranger who was hurt pretty badly went into that newly discovered ant hole I mentioned earlier. ...I think. The objective now isn't exploration, but I'd like you to rescue that Ranger and the Ranger's companion.
[Next] <Survive against enemies who wield illusions.>
This is a dungeon that Adventurers who have reached level 230 can challenge, so we ask for your interest.
3. 3rd Skill Balance Adjustment
Adjustments related to cooldowns and casting will be made to some skills of 3rd classes and their transcendent classes. In addition, coefficient adjustments for some attack skills that were not reflected in the previous balance adjustments will also be made.
1) Casting and Cooldown Adjustments 2) Coefficient Adjustments for Some Attack Skills
※ Detailed figures are currently being adjusted, and the target skills and adjustment details may change accordingly.
We will continue to carry out ongoing balance adjustments and improvements, so we ask for your continued interest. Detailed information about the skill balance adjustments will be provided through a separate developer's note.
4. MAX Level Expansion for All Classes
Through the Q4 2026 update, the base level cap will be expanded from 240 to 260. Along with this expansion, the growth curve for levels beyond 240 will also be adjusted to naturally accommodate new high-tier content, including [Episode 4-3 Darkness of Verus]. Detailed experience values by level will be announced in detail through a future notice.
5. Illusion Compendium: 
Battlefield Textbook Season 4
The Illusion Compendium [Battlefield Textbook], featuring endless battles, returns.
Break through an even fiercer battlefield and claim bountiful rewards and new costumes.
The reward equipment from Illusion Compendium 'Battlefield Textbook' Season 4 will only be maintained until 2026.
This equipment will be removed during the first maintenance of 2027, after which a new season will begin.
In Season 4, there are no major changes to the overall gameplay, but the use of the skills '
Lope' and '
Taekwon Jump,' which could cause certain bugs, will be restricted.
Based on the positive feedback that Adventurers provided during Season 3, we intend to verify the fun factor and play experience once more with similar settings in Season 4.
The findings from this will be reflected in the operation and improvement of the 'Battlefield Textbook' seasons in 2027.
The above content is still under development, so details may change upon future updates, and we ask that you refer to the official website's notices for detailed information when the update is released.
Thank you.
