Custom NPCs

Most of the server customization is available on the Starting Area. This is the place where your character appears when you first create it. Speak to the Exit Gate to leave and begin your journey. If you'd like to return to this area, you can speak to any Radical Larry NPC. He is located in just about every city, near the Save Points.

Ka/v/ra
A 4chan custom Kafra that offers special services: Saving commands to be used upon log-in, displaying Cooking EXP, PvP Options, Storages/Guild Storage and Settings, information about Account-wide dungeon unlocks.

Reset Stats and Skills
Because of the high level of customization in the server, resets are unlimited and cheap. The NPC is located at the Starting Area.

Platinum Skills
Grants all Quest Skills.

Stylist
Allows changing hair color and style, clothes color and morphing into different sprites of the same tree. For example, as a Knight, you can choose the appearance of a Lord Knight, Rune Knight, Dragon Knight, or Alternative jRO Sprites. Beware that this may have strange effects on your skill window appearance, so if you have any problems, just switch back to your original sprite.
Do note that, if you play as a Ninja and switch back to the original Ninja sprite, your auto-attacks with two weapons will not work. If your Skill Window seems broken, there's also the option to Reset Sprite to Original, which will repair the issue.

Ninja Shops in Izlude
Next to the Gunslinger NPCs in Izlude, a pair of NPCs selling Ninja Materials have been placed.

Colored Clip Exchange
There are Red, Yellow and Green Clips[1] you can use, in order to better sort and hotkey your accessories. A NPC on the Starting Area will allow you to swap your clips for others of a different color, even if they have cards inside

Custom EXP Tables

For non-rebirthed jobs, the EXP required between Lv90 and Lv99 has been reduced. This will reduce the time required to go from Lv90 until rebirth by a large amount. Keep in mind that this is only between Lv90 and 99, and only for non-rebirthed characters. Once you rebirth, you get the original exp requirements.

Dungeon Unlocks

Many dungeons in Ragnarok Online are locked behind quests. A system was added so that, once you unlock a dungeon on a given character, you can access it with all characters in your account. See the Ka/v/ra for information. The available locations are:

• Nameless Island
• Rachel Sancturary
• Kiel Dungeon
• Ayothaya Dungeon
• Amatsu Dungeon

Keep in mind that those unlocks only work if the character has Base Level high enough to start the quest. For example, you still need Base Level 60 for Rachel, Base Level 80 for Nameless and Base Level 70 for Kiel.

Rebirth for Expanded Jobs

Ninja, Gunslinger, Soul Linker and Star Gladiator are able to rebirth. Do the normal rebirth procedure to become a 1/1 High Novice. Jobchanges after that are done though the Ka/v/ra NPC.
Here are the ClassIDs used:

• Ninja T: Using the Shinkiro and Shiranui ClassID
• Gunslinger T: Using the Rebellion ClassID
• Taekwon T: Using the Star Emperor ClassID
• Star Gladiator T: Using the Sky Emperor ClassID
• Soul Linker T : Using the Soul Ascetic ClassID
  These classes are identical to their regular, non-rebirth counterparks, with a few changes:
• They can now use Transcendant equipment
• They have +25% HP/SP, same as other jobs
• Their JobLv Bonus tables use the bonuses from 3rd job, although if they were to receive less bonuses than before, they receive the same amount
• Some of them receive additional skills

For Super Novices, instead of Rebirthing, their JobLevel cap was increased from 99 to 120.

Expanded Areas

Slowly over time, new areas were added that go beyond the Pre-Renewal state of the game

Self Buff Toggles

Many classes have buffs that only affect themselves, and are essential for gameplay. Because of buff duration timers, you have to constantly reapply these during play. For most of these buffs, they have been made Toggle ON/OFF with infinite duration. They will also persist when you log in/out.
This benefit comes at a cost. When you Toggle ON a buff, it will not only cost SP, but will reduce your MaxSP by its cost. Turning a buff OFF does not cost SP.

Affected Buffs

Free Cosmetics

When you first create your character and appear on the Starting Area, you will find several NPCs selling cosmetic items. Those are all costumes, meaning they don't have any combat stats in them. You're free to use these to style your character.

Cooking Rebalanced

One of our players submitted a proposal for changes in the cooking system. The majority of foods were disproportionately difficult to make, and so this rebalance is focused on fixing that. To avoid any possible exploits, a few nerfs were applied to foods:

• all foods sell for 10z
• all the effects regarding % heals to HP/SP were removed, the foods only give temporary stats
• the in-game recipes in the cookbooks were not edited, so the information they have is wrong, use the list linked below

You can see the list of changes here. Keep in mind that Foods will last 3 hours, instead of 20 minutes, making them even more worthwhile. Do be careful, because these bonuses are lost on death. If you plan to engage in cooking, keep in mind that there is a hidden EXP value you get from cooking, so it's better to cook lots of easy foods first. Your Cooking EXP is usually a hidden value, but you can see it on the Options NPC, at the Starting Area.

Elemental Converter scrolls

The regular Sage crafter scrolls have a duration of 20 minutes in this server. In addition to the original recipes(Scorpion Tail, Snail's Shell, Rainbow Shell and Horn), there are now alternative items you can use to craft these scrolls. A Neutral Element scroll was also introduced, for when your weapon has an inherent element that is getting in the way.

Custom Forging Recipes

With the introduction of Einbech Mine 3F, new weapons became available. In order to keep things fresh, these have been converted into Forged weapons, which is a system that is notoriously overlooked in this game.

Dynite is made using a Mini Furnace and requires the skill Enchanted Stone Craft, success chance is equal to making Elemental Stones.
All weapons are made using Emperium Hammer, which can be bought on the Special Consumables NPC inside the Starting Area. The skill required is Smith Dagger.

Class Balance Changes

Every class in the game has been modified to a certain degree. For the majority of them, a few changes were done in order to improve gameplay. For certain others, they have received Soft Reworks. Here is the detailed information.

Swordsman

Knight/Lord Knight

Crusader/Paladin

Thief

Assassin/Assassin Cross

Rogue/Stalker

Merchant

The max Weight of Pushcarts was increased by 50%.

Blacksmith/Whitesmith

Alchemist/Creator

Damage = [(250% * SkillLv) + 2 * INT]% ATK , Max Level 5

Damage = (400 * SkillLv)% ATK, Max Level 5

Comments: Homunculi are an interesting part of the game, but because they are used as a vector for AFK Gaming, they've been taken out, along with Mercenaries which served the same purpose. In exchange, certain 3rd and 4th job skills were passed down, allowing Alchemists and Creators to level on their own. Naturally, both have been toned down to sensible levels for Pre-Renewal. They are both still very powerful but you are paying Premium for each use, but unlike Acid Demonstration, it's not so expensive that you cannot afford to use it outside of MvPs and WoE.

Mage

Wizard/High Wizard

Sage/Professor

Additionally, Elemental Converters will last 20 minutes instead of 3.

Hunter

Bard/Dancer/Clown/Gypsy

Priest/High Priest

Monk

Super Novice

The Super Novice Chant can be done at any EXP percentage. You can activate the effect by sending any 10 lines of text in chat, and then with the following lines:

• Dear angel, can you hear my voice?
• I am [Your full character name] Super Novice~
• Help me out~ Please~ T_T
• [Anything works for the last line]

Unfortunately, this affect is blocked for Lv99 characters. This restriction is hard coded into the game client .exe. However, you can bypass this by using the Super Novice Helper NPC. You will also be able to reset the Death Counter on the same NPC.

Super Novices with a Base Level of 91 or higher will be able to wear all headgears, regardless of restrictions. Likewise, those with a Base level of 97 or higher can also use all Daggers, Swords, One-Handed Axes, Maces, One and Two-Handed Staves. Usually, this ability would be locked behind a Soul Link, but all Super Novices can do this at all times.

All the skills that were passed to 1st Job Characters, as well as a handful of Taekwon skills, have been given to Super Novice.

Also worth noting that the Overcharge and Discount skills were removed from the game, so Super Novice won't have them, either!

Super Novice Helper

This is a helpful tool, made to get around some of the limitations for Super Novice features. You can both reset the Death Counter(to gain the +10 bonuses again), as well as activate the Super Novice Chant after Lv99.
This NPC is located at the Starting Area. However, you can use it at anytime by Whispering the NPC. To do this, simply send a message to "NPC:Super Novice Helper", as if that were the name of a player. Send any message and the NPC Window will appear.

Gunslinger

SP Costs for attack skills are reduced across the board.

• Triple Action 20->15
• Bull's Eye 30->20
• Magical Bullet 7->5
• Tracking (10+SkillLv x 5)- >(10+SkillLv x 3), 60->40 at Lv10
• Piercing Shot(10+SkillLvl)- >(5+SkillLv), 15->10 at Lv5
• Rapid Shower (20+2 x SkillLv)- >(10+2 x SkillLv), 40->30 at Lv10
• Desperado (30+2 x SkillLv)- >(15+2 x SkillLv), 50- >35 at Lv10
• Dust (3*SkillLv)->(2 x SkillLv), 30- >20 at Lv10
• Full Buster (15+5 x SkillLv)- >(10+5 x SkillLv), 65->60 at Lv10
• Spread Attack (10+5 x SkillLv)->(10+2 x SkillLv), 60- >30 at Lv10
• Ground Drift (4 x SkillLv)- >(2 x SkillLv), 40->20 at Lv10

Bullets consumed per skill use have all been set to 1. Affected skills:

• Rapid Shower
• Desperado
• Full Buster
• Spread Shot

• Regular and Iron Arrows - > Bullets
• Immaterial, Oridecon and Steel Arrows - > Armor Piercing
• Status Arrows(Stun, Freeze, Sleep, etc) and Sharp Arrows - > Bloody Bullet
• Fire/Water/Wind/Earth/Holy+Silver/Poison/Shadow Arrows - > Blaze/Freezing/Electric Shock/Magical Stone/Sanctified/Poison/Blind Bullet Arrows

Finally, we had some changes done directly into Gun types.

Comments: The focus of this soft rework was believing in the potential Gunslinger already has, and simply removing the restrictions holding them back. Lower SP costs, some more splash damage and ASPD, no more coin summoning and the experience was already massively improved. While Tracking's new role as a penetration type skill may result in some seriously big numbers, the fact its cast time cannot be reduced except for a handful of equipment based bonuses is a considerable drawback.

Ninja

Upon jobchange, you will notice your class name doesn't become Ninja, but instead will become Oboro/Kagerou depending on gender. The reason for this is because we're using the 3rd Class IDs instead. The main change to Ninja was giving them the ability to Dual Wield Daggers, the same way Assassins are able to do. Third Job Ninjas already have that ability, so we're taking advantage of already existing code. Furthermore, by using this sprite, you will be able to visually see both weapons while attacking. From the player's perspective, it's the same as playing regular Ninja, with the same HP/SP, bonus points and skill tree.
The Ninja jobchange will ask for 4x Iron Ore Instead of 10x Cyfars.

Comments: This rebalance is centered on improving Ninja's damage output without actually straight up increasing the damage modifiers. The best way to do that was by giving them a second weapon, meaning Ninjas get additional output by simply having more card slots. The Hand Masteries and Shadow Warrior were brought along, to support the usage of auto-attacks using two daggers. Bewitch and Shadow Trampling add a little more utility to the class.
Makibishi might just be one of the worst 3rd job skills, it's extremely weak in Renewal. But, because of its properties, it's actually pretty good in Pre-Re. You can use it to slow down enemies while casting (something like Throw Huuma), you can choose to fight on top of them for additional DPS, or simply combine it with Status Effect weapons and use it as Crowd Control.
Finally, there was Mirror Image. It was always a worse version of Cicada, which took a lot of points for nothing in return. By giving it FLEE scaling, playing an AGI based Ninja becomes a viable option. This skill does have several drawbacks, the worst one being its Skill Point Cost.
Magic Builds were the most effective builds before, but will not benefit as much from dual wielding. You can have more DEX from extra Drops Cards, or equip a second Bazerald, but having free Level 2 spells will probably be their best benefit. Changing the targeting type for Lightning Crash will also give Ninjas much needed Wind element damage. If you limit the number of magic spells you get, you can even get Makibishi along with magic, purely for the potential CC.
Final Strike will benefit from additional card slots greatly, specially since you can have both an Ice Pick and a 4 slot weapon on the other hand.
The ability to move while hiding was an interesting way of giving Ninjas mobility without outright removing the limitations from the Hide effect.
Ninjas now probably have one of the toughest Skill Trees, with a lot of good skills and not enough points to get all the better things at once.

Taekwon

Star Gladiator

For reference, here's some maths describing the chances involved.

• 1 Stance active: 20% chance of that Kick being activated
• 2 Stances active: 15% for each Kick, 27.75% chance of any Kick being activated
• 3 Stances active: 10% for each Kick, 27.1% chance of any Kick being activated
• 4 Stances active: 5% for each Kick, 18.55% chance of any Kick being activated

Comments: Do not be fooled by the simplicity of this change. Auto-casting the kicks is a major boost in damage, perhaps the single strongest modification in this entire list.

Soul Linker

The Soul Link skills have been entirely reworked. Here's a rundown of what you need to know.

• There is a single skill that casts all Soul Links, it costs 1 point
• Every existing Soul Link skill is now a passive and only requires 1 point each
• If you did not learn the passive skill for a class, trying to Soul Link a character from that class will fail
• You can Soul Link an unlimited number of characters at once
• You cannot Soul Link another Soul Linker, there is no longer a Soul Linker Spirit skill
• Two Soul Linkers cannot Soul Link the same character
• While Soul Linked to a character, you are tethered to them and must stay within a certain range. If a given player over-extends the distance, that tether breaks but has no effect on everyone else that is linked
• The tether can stretch as far as 13 cells. Because RO measures distances in square boxes, that means you must stay within a 27x27 box of the Soul Linker
• There is a small time tolerance for moving out of range, up to five seconds. It depends on server ticks though, so it won't be always 5
• All Pre-requirements involving Soul Links were removed. You can learn them in any order
• There will be Soul Links for Ninja and Gunslinger
• While giving Soul Links, the Soul Linker him/herself will have a movement speed bonus(until a soul link breaks)

List of Soul Link effects.

Comments: The focus of this Rework was shifting Soul Linkers into a class that needs to be actually in a party in order to give benefits. Now that the effects require other players to be within the Soul Linker's range, you can't just accept the buff from a Soul Linker and go off on your own.
The number of skill points required for accessing a wide range of links was reduced, making it possible to play a combat effective Linker while still being an effective supporter.
Classes that had basic functionality tied to Soul Links(such as Bard, Dancer and Super Novice) now have these effects inherently. Builds that only really worked with Soul Links(such as auto-bolter Sage and Beast Strafing) also have these effects naturally. Expanded Classes have access to links and, although reduced cooldowns and SP Costs might be an uncreative effect, it's really what benefits these classes the most, specially during party-play.
Ka -type magic being usable on everyone is a consequence of Soul Link Spirit being gone. Soul Linker buffs like Kaahi and Kaizel are very strong, but not better than things like Poem of Bragi or Assumptio. There's is no big deal in letting them do use those skills on others freely.

Card Rebalance

A number of monster cards were edited. Some were touched up, others changed slots. Here's some important information:

• Class Combos have been revised, making them competitive against simply using "meta equipment"
  • Pre-Renewal has combos for all basic jobs, and all 2-2 jobs
  • Combos for 2-1 jobs were added
  • There are no plans for making Combos for expanded jobs
  • It will be possible to have both the combo for your base class, and for your second class. For example, having Thief+Rogue combos simultaneously
  • Although those are class combos, anybody can use them and get a portion of the effects
  • If you choose to have both combos at once, it will take up most of your slots
  • Normally, combos would conflict with each other. The reason why some of the cards changed slots is to allow players to have both at once
• For cards that require high refinement levels, the bonuses you get were improved, since those are extremely difficult to reach
• For monsters with very low spawn rates, such as Bloody Knight, Dark Illusion and Gryphon, the effects of their cards were greatly improved

Card Adjustments by Type

Card Combos

These combos were designed during the earlier episodes of Ragnarok Online, and greatly underperform even against default Pre-Renewal options. On Ragna/v/ 3, these combo have been updated, in both effects and how they work.

• Every 1st class has its own combo, made up of 5 cards(6 for mage)
• In order to activate a combo, you must have 3 of them equipped. It can be any of the 3, whichever slots you feel that you're able to spare
• It will not work if you have 4 or more pieces(this is a limitation to prevent multiple activations, but in practice it shouldn't really limit you)
• The concept of 2nd class combos(such as Monk, Paladin, etc) is removed. Instead, those combos are now extensions of your first class combo
• Adding an extra 4th card to the 3 you were already wearing for the 1st class combo grants additional effects
• 2-1 classes had no combos, and were given custom options
• Extended classes had no combos, and were given custom options. In this table, they will be listen in red
• Only one 2nd class combo can be activate at once. For example, you cannot have Swordsman+Knight+Crusader all at once

Other Card changes

Downported Cards

Some Monster Cards from Renewal are available, either due to Permanent Events or because the monsters existed in Pre-Renewal but without the card.

Level 3 and 4 weapon rebalance

In Pre-Renewal, because of the way cards work, a Lv1 weapon with [4] slots is better than a rare weapon with less slots. The aim of this rebalance is to make Lv3 and Lv4 weapons more attractive, expanding your options for gearing up your character. It's also a way to make MvP drops more interesting. Many MvPs, specially the older ones, have nothing good in their drop table.

Criteria

Some of these changes were done to regular monster dropped items, purely for rebalancing purposes. Most notably, the almight Orc Archer Bow was nerfed, but it also includes other useful changes, like making the "Elemental" Fists actually elemental.
For MvP Drops, these weapons were split into three tiers.

• Tier 1 weapons are analogous to existing options, weapons with special perks(like having a rare element such as Holy or Ghost), weapons with support abilities(such as HP/SP recovery), or weapons that are superior to previous options but only in very specific scenarios or unique builds. More or less the same power level as a Krasnaya or Giant Axe, and similar drop rates
• Tier 2 weapons are the rare drops, things that can massively improve your damage and are, in average, superior to Tier 1 weapons. This is where you'd find things like Ice Pick[0], and will have similar drop rates
• Tier 3 weapons are the ultra rare drops, even better than Tier 2 weapons by a certain margin. This is where you find Ice Pick[1], Violet Fear[2] among others, at 0.05% chance

In this list, you'll find cases where some weapons are very similar to others. For example, for Two-Handed Sword, Krasnaya[3] is an existing option and usually considered the best. Inside the rebalance list, you'll see Zweihander[3] and Atlas Weapons[3] listed. Both of these weapons have 200 ATK, the same as Krasnaya, and now with the same number of slots. Meaning, Krasnaya is no longer the Best In Slot, but one of three analogous options, each with their own benefits: Krasnaya has the conditional +20 ATK for STR >=95, Atlas has Crit + 10, and the Zweihander is indestructible.

There is also a matter of availability. Certain weapons are very high drop chance but only obtainable by killing Biolab MvPs, or reaching the top of the Endless Tower. So, if you're unable to do either one, those are locked away from the player. For such weapons, they have been added as a low drop rate to other MvPs, giving you a chance at obtaining them. Of course, the best way of getting them is still by doing these difficult tasks, but you can still luck out somehow from common MvPs.

For weapons that you need to socket enchant, the rates will be slightly higher. For example, Crescent Scythe[0] will be a higher drop rate compared to other weapons in the same tier, because you need to socket enchant it in order to get the actually useful Crescent Scythe[3].
The types of weapons have also been taken into consideration. Two-Handed Spears are very difficult to use because most Knights and Crusaders would be reluctant to give up a Shield, so in average they have been made much stronger than One-Handed Spears. The same logic also applies to Two-Handed Axes.

Tier 1

Tier 2

Tier 3

Rebalanced Weapons

MvP Drops

Because old MvPs have outdated drop tables, their drops have been updated, giving you a reliable way of obtaining some of the weapons above.
The listed rates are already multiplied by the server's drop rate.

• For Tier 3 weapons, they have 0.05% drop rate only(same as an Ice Pick[1]) but can be obtained by 3 different MvPs
• Tier 2 weapons drop at 1%
• Tier 1 weapons drop at 5%(except the ones you need to socket)
• For Tier 1 weapons that need to be socketed, drop rate will be 25%(except Mailbreaker and Swordbreaker, those are 5% each)
• For Tiers 2 and 1, at least one MvP will drop, possibly more
• Naght Seiger Swords and Holy Stick will drop from at least one MvP, but at low chance
• Some Gunslinger weapons were sprinkled in the list at 5% each
• Bio3 MvPs will drop their weapons at 50% chance. Every bio3 weapon will drop from at least one more MvP

If there are any discrepancies, let me know so I can fix them. Between making the lists, editing, testing, implementing and putting out this list, it's not impossible I may have made mistakes.

Monster Changes

In Pre-Renewal, certain monsters on the Ash Vacuum area have stats that are disproportionate to Pre-Renewal gameplay. This caused most of the monsters in these areas to have Attack values so high that they would instantly kill any player on contact. To make things fair, their stats were adjusted. This is the same change we had on Ragna/v/ 2.

For these monsters, their Attack and Attack2 have been divided by a factor of 5:

• Tatacho
• Centipede
• Hillslion
• Hardrock Mammoth
• Tendrillion
• Cornus
• Naga
• Luciola Vespa
• Rata
• Duneyrr
• Ancient Tree
• Dark Shadow
• Bradium Golem

On the previous server, this change also affected the MvP Nydhoggur's Shadow, but this time around his stats were left alone. Therefore, he will have the same 17000-49000 as usual.

Pet Evolution

The Pet Evolve system is from Renewal, but has been partially ported into the server. You will be able to evolve some pets into higher forms, although their bonuses will be the same. It's purely cosmetic.

Poring - > Mastering - > Angeling
Bongun - > Yao Jun
Deviruchi - > Diabolic
Orc Warrior - > High Orc
Peco Peco - > Grand Peco
Petite - > Deleter
Rocker - > Metaller
Savage Babe - > Savage
Yoyo - > Choco

Other changes

• You will be able to /memo on the Abyss Lake entrance map(unlike previous Ragna/v/s)
• You will be able to teleport inside ama_dun01(Tatami Maze)
• Panzer Goblin spawns increased from 1 to 10, no respawn time(this is the mob that drops the unslotted Butcher)
• Mobsters will drop the [4] version of Poison Dagger
• Mobster spawns increased from 1 to 2
• The Paper respawn timer reduced from 10 to 7 minutes
• Leib Olmai spawns increased from 1 to 3 at Louyang Dungeon 1
• Mi Gao multiplication removed(exploit fixed)
• Majoruros will only spawn slaves with drops/EXP on spawn, respawned slaves will have no drops(exploit fixed)
• The monsters spawned on Rogue jobchange quest don't drop items anymore(exploit fixed)
• When Sonic Blow or Arrow Vulcan are auto-casted, usually the character would stop attacking during animation. This will no longer happen
• Status foods cooked by players have longer duration. Instead of 20 minutes, will last up to 3 hours
• Seals quest(open seals for God Item creation) were disabled
• The 10.000 donations for starting the Rachel Sanctuary Quest were already given, you may begin the quest normally
• On the Veins Siblings Quest, the Silk Camel will poop at 100% chance, removing the RNG element of the quest
• All Kafra warps cost 1.000(10k for island like Amatsu and Louyang) Zeny and you have access to the full list from everywhere. You still have to use the airship when outside Rune Midgard
• The time needed for the airship to go between stops was reduced
• Tool Dealers added closer to kafras, for cities where the distance between the save spot and the Tool Shop was long. Alberta, Ayothaya, Comodo and Einbroch
• The Save spot for Ayothaya was moved closer to the Kafra, and not on the other side of the map from her
• Thanatos Tower: Gunslinger doesn't require Lv4 weapon, the BaseLevel restriction for accessing upper floors for Extended Jobs was removed

Battlegrounds

This is the objective based battle arena of the server. You will be able to take part in battles, at any time during the day. There are 3 Battleground modes available:

• KvM: 2x2 to 5x5 Battle with no respawning - 5 KvM Badges for a win, 1 for losing
• Tierra Gourge: 4x4 to 10x10 Destroy the Enemy's base - 3 Bravery Badges for a win, 1 for losing
• Flavius: 4x4 to 10x10 Destroy the Enemy's guardians, and then their Crystal - 9 Valor Badges for a win, 3 for losing

You can read more about Battlegrounds here, but do keep in mind that rewards and required players to start have been modified.
Inside the Battlegrounds room, you will find a NPC that will give you a one time only starter set. It contains White, Blue and Green Potions, to use in battle. Notice that all supplies obtained through the Battlegrounds System will only work inside BG maps.
Next to that NPC, you will find another that will exchange your KvM/Bravery/Valor Badges for rewards. You will likely have to spend some of your Badges, in order to continuously buy more potions, but the exchange rate if very favorable. Even if you spend a lot, you will come out positive on badges, even on a losing streak. The set boxes can only be opened outside of Battlegrounds, meaning you can't carry more than your weight capacity by keeping the set boxes items in your inventory and using them during a match.
Players are randomly inserted into teams, every fight. Minimum level to participate is Base Lv80 and Novices cannot participate. Joining as a Guild is only allowed on Tierra Gourge and Flavius, and none of the modes allows Party Queuing.
Repairmen and Storage access is also available inside Tierra Gourge and Flavius.

To join a match, use the built-in button on the interface. You can queue from anywhere.

Inside Battlegrounds(and PvP zones too!), the following skills will not consume materials/zeny.

• Mammonite
• Cart Termination
• Safety Wall
• Stone Curse
• Sanctuary
• Magnus
• Fire Pillar(this is not working right now for some reason, needs a fix next maintenance)
• Venom Dust
• Venom Splasher
• Volcano
• Deluge
• Violent Gale
• Dispel
• Ganbantein
• Gravitation
• Acidified Zone Fire/Water/Earth/Wind
• Demonstration
• Cannibalize
• Chemical Protection(Full and Parts)
• Enchant Deadly Poison(duration is only 60 seconds inside BG)
• Fiberlock/Spider Web
• Ninja Tier 3 Magic
  Keep in mind you need to have at least one of the item in your inventory to use the skills. Without at least 1 unit of the required item, it will not work.

The current selection of Rewards is only an initial list, I would like to expand it further. However, first I will wait and see how frequently players get Battlegrounds matches going and at what rate these items are being obtained. The idea is that Battlegrounds shouldn't be the easiest and fastest way to obtain gear, it's merely an extra incentive to play them.

Rules

As a 4chan community server, there aren't many rules. Here's a list of what you cannot do.

You are not allowed to:

• Multi client(sometimes referred to as Multiboxing). This mean, you can only be controlling one character at any time. This ban includes using things such as Virtual Machines, side-by-side computers and remote accessing another computer
• Modify the game's files in a way to gain advantages over players. This includes all forms of sprite edits for players, monsters and items
• Exploit bugs in the game. If you find something that can be exploited, report it
• Automate gameplay, by using bots or scripts
• Manipulate the results of Battlegrounds matches. This includes swapping wins, losing on purpose, sabotaging your own team mates
• Spawn kill players in Battlegrounds matches
• New: Automate AFK gameplay in any capacity. This includes leaving characters with Autocast equipment with the intent of farming while Away From Keyboard, or using @autotrade to help you kill monsters, buffs characters or help with crafting. Cooperating with AFK Farmers in order to collect drops will also be seen as rule infringement
• New: Flooding the chat on purpose. I reserve the right to remove you from channels if you're being disruptive on purpose
• New: Do not place shops atop other player's shops, in order to disrupt their business. You can do it with your own shops, but not to other players

Chat will not be moderated.
