Soft Cap & Hard Cap System

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

  The Soft Cap is fixed from 41% to 60% while the Hard Cap is fixed from 61% to 80%.
  Past these 80%, you won't be granted with additional bonus.

• Listed statistics below are affected by this system :

  • Race Resistances
  • Reduction of SP Consumption

Soft Cap	Hard Cap
41% ~ 60%	61% ~ 80%
2 times the amount of the bonus required	3 times the amount of the bonus required
Examples
If you equip a Marse Card while you already reached the Soft Cap, it will only give you 15% instead of 30% Water resistance.	If you equip a Marse Card while you already reached the Hard Cap, it will only give you 10% instead of 30% Water resistance.

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 80% of your HP & SP.

Take note that if you have a Premium Account, then it will be 100% of your HP & SP.

Dungeons Access

• Some of your favorite dungeons required quests to access to them before right ? Such as Kiel Dungeon, Moscovia and Geffenia some others.

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.

There 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

Direct Warper Access

This feature allows you to choose a destination and to be teleported to it if you already did the related entrance quest.

What is it ? It 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, the same that you can see on the screenshot below.

  If you complete the quest and report back to the NPC, you will be allowed to use the Warper to teleport directly to Moscovia Dungeon !

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. Thus, the game allows new ways of playing without sacrificing the original part of the gameplay.

List of Skills modifications

Critical Skills and effects

All Skills now can be critical! The critical rate and critical damage are based on the critical value which takes account of every piece of gear, equipped cards and Kugan. Thus, effects that increase critical ouput also affect critical skills, depending on the type of Skill used.

File:Critical skill.png

Example of a critical Skill

• Critical physical attacks inflict 33% more damage, have twice the success to hit your target and ignore a third of the target's defense (DEF). They still can miss their targets.
• Critical magical attacks inflict a 33% more damage and ignore a third of the target's magical defense (MDEF).
• Critical misc Skills increase the damage input by 66% depending on the skills (such as Falcon Assault, Soul Destroyer, Acid Demonstration, Self Destruction).
• Critical healing Skills increase the Healing value by 33%.

As opposed to the Skills' critical rate, the critical resistance reduces the probability to be targeted by those attacks. For example, the Perfect Flee reduces critical skills rate by a ratio (just like normal critical attacks).

DoTs - Damage over Time

  Poison / Deep Poison / Burning / Toxin status effects received changes in order to make them viable.

• Take 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 to inflict the status effect to a target by 0.2% per point of LUK.
  • Target's LUK will increase the chance to resist to the status effect by 0.2% per point of LUK.

All effects listed below will affect Poison / Deep Poison / Burning status effects only, 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. Each 100 current HP of the target increase damage by 0.1%. Up to 200% damage bonus if the target has at least 200 000 HP.
• DoTs can now kill affected targets.
• All DoTs will deal damage each second.
• DoT's ticks can be critical and a critical ticks add 50% damage ignoring all race resistances.
• DoTs like Poison, Deep Poison, Bleeding, Burning, Venom, Toxin can't last less than 5 seconds.

• Toxin is based on 1% of the max SP of the target.

Status Effects

• Each point in LUK adds 0.33% chance to prevent these status effects.

• Common status can be critical, which is only based on Critical value and don't take into account cards giving Critical vs races, Katar type weapon bonus or else.
• Critical common status ignores 50% of all resistances including duration resistances.
• Confusion, also called Chaos resistances are based on VIT, but also on the higher value between STR and INT.
• Common status have now a minimum duration : Debuffs like Silence, Blind, Confusion or Curse can't last less than 3 seconds while Snares like Stun, Freeze, Stone or Sleep can't last less than 1 second.
