Hello. Ragnarok Zero users, this is the Ragnarok Zero Team of RO1 Studio. Today, following Part 2 of the June development update notice, we will introduce the final Part 3.
1. New Armor Update
In line with the Schwarzwald Republic update, a new Fever armor series, the "Lava" series, will be updated. This time, in addition to armor and shoes, cloaks (garments) are also included, with random options granted to each part. If you equip all parts matching the series and meet the refine requirements, a bonus option will also be added. Additionally, this new Lava armor can be equipped by all classes, allowing every job group to choose the armor that fits their needs.
<A new Fever zone armor will be updated!>
2. New Job Essence Enchant Update
New enchantable essences will be added to the Expedition, Expeditionary Force, and 
Conqueror Armor series refined to +9 or higher.
These consist of options in a different direction from the existing essence enchants, and through this, we plan to somewhat make up for the lack of essences that matched certain playstyles, which was previously a point of regret.

<Some existing job essence enchant options will be changed!>
4. Addition of a Dedicated Enchant NPC for 2nd Job and Expanded Job Essences
With the addition of new job essence enchants, the way the existing enchant NPC uniformly granted essence enchants will change. From now on, the existing enchant NPC will no longer grant essences for 2nd job classes and expanded job classes, and instead, essences for 2nd job classes and expanded job classes can be granted through the new "Intermediate Enchant Guild Staff" NPC.
The Intermediate Enchant Guild Staff is an NPC that grants only job essences to Expedition, Expeditionary Force, and Conqueror armor types refined to +9 or higher, while the existing enchant NPC will only grant enchants up to just before the essence enchant, as well as 1st job class enchants.
The enchant cost of the Intermediate Enchant Guild Staff can be chosen between a large amount of Zeny or a certain quantity of 
Gel Star, and if you enchant using Zeny, you can grant a Lv2 essence with a higher probability than when using Gel Star.
However, there is a difference in cost depending on the armor's grade, and depending on the grade, all enchants must be completed up to the slot before the one where the job essence can be enchanted.
For example, if you want to receive a job essence enchant from the Intermediate Enchant Guild Staff on a +9 Conqueror Armor[1], you must have already received enchants on the 4th and 3rd slots through the existing enchant NPC.

5. Change in the Sales Method of the Random Option Scroll for Localization Commemorative Weapons
The sales method for scrolls that grant random options to localization commemorative weapons (
Earth Dragon's Vision, 
Yin Yang Magic Scroll, etc.) will change from the existing special local items (
Earth Dragon Stone, 
Spirit Stone) to 150,000 Zeny, making it easier to grant random options.

6. New Drop Equipment Item Update
You will be able to obtain new equipment items from various monsters appearing in the areas added with the Schwarzwald Republic update. Following helmet items, various drop equipment items such as Ninja weapon equipment will also be updated. The options for the new equipment will be introduced through the official website at the time of the future update.
<Equipment obtainable from the newly updated areas will be updated!>
7. Addition of a New Way to Obtain 
Mithril
In the Fever zone Nogg Lord (Nograd) 3rd floor dungeon, in addition to the existing drop-based method of obtaining Mithril, a new acquisition method will be added.
This is a method of obtaining it through the "**
Lava Ore Extractor**" and the "
Lava Ore" (Mysterious Ore).
Both the Lava Ore Extractor and the Lava Ore can be obtained from monsters on Nogg Lord 3rd floor, and by collecting the Lava Ore, you can use it to obtain 
Mythril Ore.
Of course, Mythril Ore will also drop on Nogg Lord 3rd floor just as in existing areas.
Lava Ore Extractor
A mysterious extractor that can extract only Mythril Ore from certain ores.
Once used, it is destroyed due to the intense heat generated.
Using 30 Lava Ore, you can obtain various items in addition to Mythril Ore.
Weight : 5
Lava Ore
A raw ore containing various materials. Once the ore is extracted, it is destroyed.
Weight : 1
<The "Lava Ore Extractor" and "Lava Ore" can be obtained from monsters on Nogg Lord 3rd floor.>
8. Change to the Clock Tower Dungeon Mid-Boss Summoning
The mid-boss summoning method in the Clock Tower dungeon was designed with the concept that, in order to combine items added to the dungeon, users would need to collect items dropped by the mid-boss, thus requiring considerable effort in the relevant dungeon.
However, because the mid-boss appears at a random location on the map, encountering the mid-boss was not easy despite the considerable effort required, and there were cases where, without any effort, users could easily find and defeat the mid-boss summoned at a random location through certain actions. Due to this, the current structure has become unfair to users who put in effort to summon the mid-boss in the dungeon.
To improve this issue, the mid-boss summoning method in the Clock Tower dungeon will be adjusted so that, instead of being random, the mid-boss will spawn at the location of the user who completes the final condition.
However, the announcement broadcast for the mid-boss summoning progress will remain as it is, since it serves the function of allowing users who are not aiming to fight the mid-boss to sufficiently prepare for its sudden appearance, while also allowing users who are aiming to fight the mid-boss to focus more on ensuring that the mid-boss spawns at their location.
This adjustment is intended to maintain the value of Clock Tower combination materials while minimizing unfair damage to users who put in effort, and if it is determined in the future that unfair damage continues to occur to users who make an effort through certain actions and that additional adjustments are necessary, we will inform you of the adjustments through a developer's note.
Additionally, although not applied in this update, we are developing a feature where, upon becoming incapacitated, nearby monsters and in-map announcement broadcasts, etc., will not be visible, and once development is complete, we will inform you of the details.

So far, we have introduced the June development content in a total of three parts. All the June development content introduced so far is scheduled to be updated during the regular maintenance on June 27th, and since some content may be subject to change, please refer to the announcements on the official website at the time of the future update.
