Elite monsters Elite MvPs System

  An elite MvP is affecting its surroundings with an aura if its level is above 100. World Event, Purgators and Elite MvPs are concerned.
  Any MvP that can be affected by an aura will be immune to damage for 15 seconds when MvP's left HP are at 75, 50 & 25% of its MaxHP.

• All Elite monsters, monsters and MvPs included receive extra buffs based on the difference between MvP's and player's level :
  • Increase Critical by 1 every 4 exceeding levels
  • Increase Critical damage inflicted by 1% per exceeding level
  • Ignores 1 DEF and 1 MDEF every 4 exceeding levels
  • Reduces any long ranged damage received by 0.5% per exceeding levels
    • Bonus above are only buffs, if you manage to outlevel the affected monster, they aren't activated but you don't get any benefit from this system.

Party Shield

• The MvP aura makes MvP immune to damage if not enough players are on the same screen as attackers.
  • For every missing attackers, damage are reduced by half. A player attacking the MvP within 7s is considered as an attacker.

	Number of players required	Number of attackers required
MvP event, Sadness / Tempus / ...	4 players	2 attackers
Super MvP, appearing in elemental dungeons	6 players	3 attackers
Purgator MvP	10 players	5 attackers
World Boss	16 players	8 attackers

  Those MvP are meant to be killed with a party!

Modified Auras based on the Race and Element of the Elite MvP

  Any Elite MvP is surrounded by a strong Aura. Each second, the MvP aura may inflict a status to any attacker and to any prey.
  Chances depends on the exceeding level of the MvP, compared to the player's level.
  Some additionnal effects may occur depending of the element of the MvP.

Soft Cap & Hard Cap System

General Caps

This system has been introduced to avoid anyone from being overprotected regarding an element or a statistic.

  A Cap is instored from 61% to 80%.
  Past these 80%, you won't be granted with additional bonus.

• Listed statistics below are affected by this system :
  • Elemental Resistances
  • Race Resistances
  • Reduction of SP Consumption
  • Hard DEF & Hard MDEF
  • Bonus called "Damage reduction while casting"

  Concerning DEF and MDEF, the Cap is set to 90 maximum.

Cap
Treshold	61% ~ 80%
	Twice the amount of the bonus required
Examples
If you equip a Marse Card while you already reached the Cap, it will only give you 15% instead of 30% Water resistance.

Summons' Caps

  Concerning MaxHP, the soft Cap is set to 75 000. There is no hard Cap.
  Concerning DEF and MDEF, the soft cap is set to 50, the hard Cap is set to 75.

DEF & MDEF Cap
Treshold	51% ~ 75%
	Twice the amount of the bonus required

• Summons also have a cap regarding their ATK & MATK.
  • Minimum ATK & MATK are soft capped above 750, gain is halved for each bonus above this value. There is no hard cap.
  • Maximum ATK & MATK are soft capped above 1500, gain is halved for each bonus above this value. There is no hard cap.

Chest Rewards' Distribution

• During some events, invasions, or at the end of nightmare dungeons for example, you will find big chests containing decent amount of rewards.

• Items will fall on the floor and people will be able to collect them as a usual item. However, take note that all items are distributed randomly to people in the screen.

  This system excludes Double Accounts, which means having several accounts logged in won't increase the rewards you get.

• If you really need some items that fell on the floor like that and you weren't able to get it, try to get it by discussing calmly with the one who got the precious item.

New Critical System

  All Skills can be critical !

• The critical rate is based on the CRI value showed in Attributs panel (Alt + A).
  • Effects that increase critical output also affect critical skills, depending on the type of Skill used.
    • While a Katar type weapon is equipped, Critical Rate calculated for skills is equal to 50% of the displayed Critical Rate. However, this effect doesn't apply to auto-attacks.

• Damage inflicted with a Critical Skill will have an increased +25% overall damage, will always ignore 25% of the target's defense (DEF or MDEF accordingly) and will have 1/4 more chance to hit (but can miss none the less).

  Please note that Cards like The Paper Card will work on skills such as Acid Demonstration / Cart Termination / ... and will also increase their critical damage part by 25%
  If you have 100% critical damage bonus from The Paper Cards, you will get +50% damage instead of the basic 25%

• A critical Healing skill increases the healed amount by 33%

Leech HP & SP system

• If an attack isn't a physical attack, your amount drained is reduced by 33%
• Each cell between the target and the user reduces leech amount by 2% of your leeching amount
• If several targets are hit, each target beyond the first divide drained amount by 2
• If you have 12% Leech, you can convert maximum 12% of your MaxHP or MaxSP into HP or SP each second
• Leech can't exceed target's remaining HP
• Heal Power bonus or malus affecte all leeches

Smart Healer

You won't have to click on the Healer NPC anymore ! Our Healer is benevolant and will take care of you as soon as you approach her !

→ If you enter in the 13x13 area around her, she will automatically heal you overtime, up to 100% of your HP & SP.

Take note that if you have a Premium Account, then it will heal you two times faster.

Dungeons Access

• Some dungeons used to require quests to access to them (Kiel Dungeon, Moscovia, Geffenia...).

You will be able to access to them thanks to the Quick Access System on DaRO!

  For example, check this one :

• These "flames" on the screenshot will immediately teleport you to Moscovia Dungeon.
  • Each dungeon that was previously requiring a quest will now be accessable thanks to these spots.

Here you can check locations of all of them :

Access to	Map	Coordinates
Abyss Lake	Hugel Field 05	169 296
Amatsu Dungeon	Amatsu Castle - Last Floor	119 185
Ayothaya Dungeon	Ayothaya field 01	130 194
Brasilis Dungeon	Brasilis Art Museum	16 179
Cursed Abbey	Veins Field 07	132 131
Dewata Dungeon	Dewata Town	235 54
Geffenia Dungeon	Geffen Field 09	222 222
Kiel Dungeon	Yuno Field 08	149 190
Lighthalzen Bio Laboratory	Rekenber Corporation Headquarters	42 219
Malaya Hospital	Malaya Town	50 81
Moscovia Dungeon	Moscovia Town	137 54
Rachel Sanctuary	Rachel Temple	113 180
Scaraba Hole 02	Scaraba Hole 01	290 104

Direct Warper Access

This feature allows you to choose a Dungeon at the Warpa NPC and teleport to it if you finished the related entrance quest.

Entrance quest: this is a specific quest given by an NPC you can find at the entrance of each dungeon.

For example, after being teleported to Moscovia Dungeon area thanks to the Quick Access System, you will be able to see a blue cross marker on your mini-map (see screenshot below).

  If you complete the quest and report back to the NPC, you will be allowed to use the Warpa to teleport directly to Moscovia Dungeon!
  This will grant access to the dungeon to the whole account and not just to the character who finished the quest!

Skills modifications

All Ragnarok Online's Skills have been reviewed and corrected to open up new possibilities and combinations.

Everything has been balanced so that the best Skills remain the best but also so that there are new paths and a better balance of classes in their respective roles. This way the game allows new play styles, without completely sacrificing the original gameplay.

List of Skills modifications

DoT - Damage over Time

  Poison / Venom / Deep Poison / Burning / Toxin status effects were modified to make them more viable.

If you kill a monster using DoTs damage, Items will not be autolooted and Benedictions will never appear if you aren't in a range of 36 cells away from the monster.
36 cells means approximatively 2 screens.

• Please note that the success rate of inflicting DoTs is affected by the total amount of LUK of the target and the caster:
  • Caster's LUK will increase the chance of inflicting a Status effect to a target by 0.2% per point of LUK.
  • Target's LUK will increase the chance of resisting a Status effect by 0.2% per point of LUK.

All effects listed below will affect all DoTs effects:

• All DoTs will deal damage each second.
• DoT's ticks can be critical and critical ticks add 50% damage ignoring all Race resistances.
• DoTs like Venom, Poison, Deep Poison, Bleeding, Burning, Venom, Toxin can't last less than 7 seconds.
• Every DoTs with a duration exceeding 10 seconds will have a duration of 10 seconds, plus an additional 33% of the surplus duration.

All effects listed below will only affect Venom / Poison / Deep Poison / Burning DoTs effects, Toxin being a special case:

• The portion of the formula affected by Target's statistics can reduce damage up to 50% received damage.
• DoTs damage are increased based on Target's maximum HP. For each 100 HP the target currently has, damage increases by 0.1%. Up to 200% damage bonus if the target has at least 200 000 HP.
• DoTs can now kill affected targets.

  An entity affected by a DoT can't be at more than 24 cells from the caster.
  Otherwise, it will nullify the DoT damage received by the target.
  24 cells = more or less a whole screen while playing.

Poison

Damage Formula

  [2 * (Caster's LUK + Caster's DEX + Caster's BaseLV) - 1,5 * (Target's LUK + Target's VIT + Target's BaseLV)] + Caster's HIT Bonus

• VIT of the target will increase the resistance to this effect.

Poison while using Throw Venom Knife

• The poison DoT inflicted by the skill Throw Venom Knife will inflict Venom instead of the basic Poison effect.

• Specificities of Venom :
  • It can be stacked up to 4 times, each new stack refreshes the Status duration.
  • Venom counts other DoTs as an additional stack for its damage calculation. Meaning a target affected by 4 stacks of Venom and also affected by Burning will be count as a 5 stacks on the target.
  • The Venom damage formula is based on the formula above, however, it is weaker at the beginning and gets stronger as stacks increase.
    • The overall damage formula is (50 + 25 * StacksAmount)% of DoT's damage.

Number of stacks	Damage compared to Poison DoT
1	75%
2	100%
3	125%
4	150%
5	175%
6	200%
...	...

Deep Poison

Damage Formula

  2 * [2 * (Caster's LUK + Caster's DEX + Caster's BaseLV) - 1,5 * (Target's LUK + Target's VIT + Target's BaseLV)] + Caster's HIT Bonus

• VIT of the target will increase the resistance to this effect.

Bleeding

Damage Formula

  2 * (Caster's LUK + Caster's STR + Caster's BaseLV) - 1,5 * (Target's LUK + Target's STR + Target's BaseLV) + Caster's HIT Bonus

• VIT of the target will increase the resistance to this effect.

Burning

Damage Formula

  2 * (Caster's LUK + Caster's INT + Caster's BaseLV) - 1,5 * (Target's LUK + Target's AGI + Target's BaseLV) + Caster's HIT Bonus

• Mdef of the target will increase the resistance to this effect.

Toxin

Damage Formula

  Toxin burns 1% of current SP of the target each second

Status Effects

• Regarding success rates:
  • Each point in LUK adds 0.33% chance to prevent a Status effects.
  • Each point in LUK adds 0.33% chance to inflict a Status effects.
  • Each Base Level increased/decreased the chance of inflicting/preventing a common Status by 0.1%
  • Confusion, also called Chaos resistances are based on VIT, but also on STR and INT (whichever is the highest value).

• Regarding Common Statuses' durations:
  • Common Status now have a minimum duration:
    • Debuffs like Silence, Blind, Confusion or Curse can't last less than 3 seconds.
    • Snares like Stun, Freeze, Stone or Sleep can't last less than 1 second.

• Regarding critical Common Status:
  • A Common Status can be critical, which is only based on Critical value and doesn't take into account Cards giving Critical vs Races, Katar type weapon bonus, etc.
  • Critical Common Status ignores 33% of all resistances including duration resistances.

  These abnormal statuses have been changed so that they can be bases for new gameplay strategies.

Modified Common Status effects
	Silence	Can't proc auto-spells if the player is affected by Silence status.
	Curse	Reduces STR/INT/DEX by 5 and an additional 10% of these attributes. Reduces affected player's damage and heal by 10%. Reduces affected monster's damage/heal by 20%

	Confusion / Chaos	30% chance to attack themselves instead of the target. Damage or effect calculations are based on the player's resistances if the player attacks themselves. Monsters have half less chances to use skills. When an affected target is hit, they have 30% chance to recover from Confusion if their HP are full. When an affected target is hit, they have 100% chance to recover from Confusion if their HP are low. SP / Zeny / Ammunitions / Catalysts / Gemstones requirement and consumption are multiplied by 4. Spirits Sphere requirement and consumption multiplied by 2.
	Hallucination	Damage and heals done are randomly changed to a value between 0 and the normal value. 25% more likely to receive critical hits. Critical hits received inflict 33% more damage.

  • Flee Penalty of 5/10/15/20/25/... percent if 2/3/4/5/6/... monsters are tanked by the player.
• This penalty isn't applied on Perfect Flee, also called Perfect Dodge.
• Reminder : Official Flee reduction in WoE isn't applied here.
• Every 20 flee grants 1% chance to avoid any kind of attacks.

Cast Time, After Skill Delay & Attack Speed

→ Here you will find all the information regarding these systems. However, if you still want more information or if you need more explanation or details, please contact us! We will gladly help you!

  Casting Time calculation

Your Casting Time can be reduced by:

• DEX (minimum cast 10% with 150 DEX).
• Some effects (Bragi, Memorize, Haste, etc... in a cumulative way).
• Bonus of some items affecting a specific skill (in a cumulative way if the same skill).
• Some global bonus items (in a cumulative way, maximum reduction is 70%).

• Example :
  • A skill has a casting time of 2 seconds.
  • The character has enough DEX to reduce casting time by 50% (2s => 1s)
  • The character is under Bragi's effect (1s => 0.5s)
  • The character is under Suffragium's effect (0.5s => 0.25s)
  • The character has a 50% cast time reduction for this specific skill thanks to a bonus (0.25s => 0.125s)
  • The character has a 50% global cast time reduction from item bonuses (0.125s => 0.0625s)

  After Skill Delay calculation

Your After Skill Delay can be reduced by:

• AGI
• Reduction from effects (Bragi, Haste, Sagittarius, etc... in a cumulative way).
• Reduction from bonus items affecting a specific skill (in an cumulative way for a same skill).
• Reduction from global bonus items (in an cumulative way, maximum reduction is 70%).

• Example :
  • A skill has an After Skill Delay of 2 seconds.
  • The character has enough AGI to reduce After Skill Delay by 10% (2s => 1.8s)
  • The character is under Bragi's effect (1.8s => 0.9s, if bragi's reduction is 50%)
  • The character is under Haste's effect (0.9s => 0.54s, if haste's reduction is 40%, the default value)
  • The character has a reduction of 33% for this specific skill (0.54s => 0.36s)
  • The character has a global After Skill Delay reduction of 50% from item bonuses (0.36s => 0.18s)

  ASPD calculation

Your ASPD is based on:

• Base attack speed comes from the Weapon Type.
• Reduction from AGI and DEX (in a cumulative way from both attributes but acting as % of the weapon delay)
• Reduction from bonus items (in a cumulative way)
• Reduction from effects (Bragi, Haste, Sagittarius, etc... in a cumulative way)

• Note:
  • Cumulated bonus from items and effects can't go higher than 70% without Frenzy.

• Example:
  • A character uses a weapon with an attack speed of 550 (Swordman with 1H Sword, which is 145 ASPD)
  • The character has 100 AGI and 100 DEX which reduces attack delay by 50% (0.4xAGI + 0.1xDEX) (550 => 275, which is 172.5 ASPD)
  • The character has some item bonuses (10+10) for a total of 20% (275 => 221, which is 177.9 ASPD)
  • The character is under Quicken (30), Berserker potion (20) for a total of 50% (221 => 110, which is 189.0 ASPD)

• Notes:
  • In order to calculate the ASPD value (numbers displayed in status frame) you need to substract your actual delay from 2000 and divide by 10.
  • Status frame displays a rounded ASPD value, but there is a difference between an ASPD of 170.4 and 170.8, even if it's not shown.
  • A Swordman using a sword without frenzy can't go higher than 183 without any points in AGI/DEx (see math above).
    • In this example, the minimum to get 190 is to have 11% of ASPD reduction from attributes, which can be achieved with 30 AGI for example (but with the maximum ASPD reduction from items and effects).

Monsters modifications

• Some monsters have been modified to ensure greater challenge and increased play strategies :
  • Reputation is awarded upon killing monsters.
  • Some Skills, exclusive to monsters or not, have been improved in order to guarantee more fightning possibilities.

  Elite Monsters • Custom Monsters

Armor Classification

  Some Kugans and custom Gears have mention of specific "classifications" such as this Medium armor for example.

Official Gears

• Official gears have a DEF defining their armor classification according to the table below.

Custom Gears

• All custom gears are defined by a class of armor giving DEF or MDEF according to the table below.

Custom Armor Classification
Classification	Armor	Shield	Footgear	Garment
Light	DEF = 0	DEF = 0	DEF = 0	DEF = 0

Gear Improvements

• Three systems can particularily help you to improve the value of your equipement:
  • The Quality System
  • The Gemstone System
  • The Enchant System

• The Quality System doesn't work on all pieces of gear but can add a significant buff, however, it will costs you Moonstones & zenys.
• The Gemstone System allows you to engrave equipement with Gemstones obtained in Gem Boxes. These boxes are obtained by doing mercenary quests, nightmare dungeons or via Benedictions.
• The Enchant System is perhaps the hardest one. It can break your item upon failure, so please be careful. This system is used to add attribute buffs on Armor.

Reworked Cards

• A lot of cards have been reworked in order to improve the possibilities of builds and open new doors to the players.
  • You can check all changes made by clicking here.
  • Please note that some of the cards are placed in other slots than usual.

Special Headgears System

• On DaRO, you can craft and dismantle headgears in order to make your character stronger!
