General Features · Guides

Introduction

DARO is a custom pre-renewal server. Its new features aim to improve and balance the game as a whole. This page sums up the main everyday services: daily hunting bonuses, rooms, auctions, resets and more.

Hunting Board

The Hunting Board gives you extra experience on some monsters each day. The bonus can target a race, an element, a size, a specific monster or a place: a good reason to change your grinding spot.

How does it work?

Bonus type	Affected settings	Example
Races	Demi-Human Brute Insect Fish Dragon Plant Formless Angel Demon Undead
Element	Neutral Water Earth Fire Wind Poison Holy Shadow Ghost Undead
Size	Small Medium Large
By ID among specific type	Monster Class
By ID among specific type	MvP Class
Based on location	All monsters on a specific set of Dungeons
Based on location	All monsters on a specific set of Fields

Example: the bonuses add up

Nepenthes (#1988) lives on the Manuk Fields. It is a Plant of the Poison element. With the bonuses shown above, each one you kill gives you:

+19% experience for the location,
+55% experience for the Plant race,
+27% experience for the Poison element.

Where can I see today's bonuses?

Leave Midgard's central place by the north-east road: the NPC posts there show every bonus of the day.

Bonuses reset every day at midnight server time. Type @time to see the server time.

Announcer

The Announcer NPC stands on Midgard's central place. Use it to find teammates or guildmates, or to buy, sell or trade an item. Flooding is not possible.

Auctions

Every hour, new random items go up in the Auction and the Black Market: Gem Boxes, Coins, Yggdrasil Berries and Seeds, Master and Perfect weapon boxes, cards, map items, Hat Boxes and fragments, card albums...

Auction: you bid in zeny, an offer lasts 1 hour. The Auction Hall Guides of Morroc, Prontera, Juno and Lighthalzen take you to the Auction Hall.
Black Market: paid in Bronze Coins, an offer lasts 3 hours. The Black Market Broker waits in Midgard (49, 194).

New offers come on the hour. Type @time to see the server time.

DB & MVP Room

Rent a private room for yourself, your party or your guild, and summon monsters with branches.

250,000 Zeny per rental
90 minutes per rental
5 minutes empty and the room counts as abandoned

The NPC in the middle of the room sells the branches below. When no monster is left in the room, click the NPC to get healed.

Item	Zeny	Effect
Dead Branch	15 000z	Summon a random Monster
Elite Dead Branch	100 000z	Summon a random Elite Monster
Bloody Branch	7 500 000z	Summon a random MVP
Elite Bloody Branch	20 000 000z	Summon a random Elite MVP

GM House

Need to leave a message to a Staff Member? Go to the GM House: Valkyrie warps you there. GMs sometimes hold audiences there, to talk about serious matters or simply to meet the community.

Inn

In the classic game, you paid the innkeeper to recover all your HP & SP, and the Inn saved your position. Few players used it, so on DARO the Inn has a new purpose: it is the place to log out and rest.

While you are away

Your character keeps gaining some EXP.

When you come back

You get a bonus EXP rate for a while.

Buffs

Increase Agility and Blessing, both Level 10.

Cards & Gems Remover NPC

The Card & Gems Remover takes cards and gems back out of your gear. You find this NPC in Midgard City, near the Inn.

Cost of each attempt: 200 000 Zeny, plus 25 000 Zeny for each card removed, a Star Crumb & a Yellow Gemstone.

An attempt can destroy your equipment, your Cards or your Gemstone. The NPC asks which one you want to save if something breaks.

Unslot Tool

No Zeny or item fee to pay, and better chances (see the table).

Perfect Unslot Tool

100% success, and no fee either.

Rates without the Perfect Unslot Tool:

Result	Without Unslot Tool	With Unslot Tool
Everything destroyed	8%	0%
Nothing destroyed, but the unslot fails	7%	11%
The item you chose is saved, the other is destroyed	45%	28%
Both items saved, unslot success	40%	61%

Warper & Quick Access

Valkyrie warps you anywhere you want.

Towns

Free travel between towns: no need to visit them first.

Dungeons & instances

Visit them once and complete a short quest with the NPC at the entrance. After that, Valkyrie can warp you there.

Special areas

For example the GM House, the Casino or Turbo Track.

The entrance quest is quick and gives a lot of experience. See Dungeon Access for details.

Lost? The Quick Access NPCs help you find any NPC you are looking for. Talk to them to see which NPCs a city has.

Warper destinations

Valkyrie

"I'm always here for you. Where would you like to go?"

Her window sorts every destination by tab, with a search bar. Each card shows the place, its minimap and its map code.

Job Changer

On DARO, changing your class is a party! The Job Changer shows pictures of each choice and tells you more about your future job.

The job change resets your skills, but gives you all the Platinum Skills of your class, with no quest to do.
You can become a Hunter at Job Level 40 as an Archer.
You can become a Sniper at Job Level 30 as a Hunter.

Because you can become a Transcended class just by talking to her, Valkyrie lets you get back the Skill points you would have earned earlier: pick the matching option. It costs 2.000.000 Job Experience and you can do it as many times as needed, up to 10 times.

Reset Stats / Skills / Zodiac Sign

Reset your Stat points, your Skill points or your Zodiac Sign at Midgard's Castle. The price depends on the reset:

Reset	Cost
Reset Stats	BaseLevel x BaseLevel x 20 Zeny
Reset Skills	BaseLevel x BaseLevel x 20 Zeny
Reset Stats & Skills	BaseLevel x BaseLevel x 30 Zeny
Reset Zodiac Sign	Oblivion Voucher

With a Reset Coupon, the reset costs 0 Zeny. After a reset, you can reset again for free for 10 minutes.
