[Rytech]

Hello,
this is the Ragnarok Online development team.

The following are the details of June 17th's scheduled maintenance.

Maintenance Time

- Main Servers: 2:00am - 12:30pm (10 hours 30 minutes)

* During this time billing on the homepage will be unavailable. Please wait until after maintenance to perform any billing activities.
* During this maintenance the homepage will be updated so logging in will also be unavailable.

Main Servers

- The renewal update is applied. Please familiarize yourself with the renewal update by reading the notices on the homepage. Under the notices section there is a full listing of system changes, skill changes, and a renewal related Q & A.

- 3-1 class update is applied.
In order to change to 3rd job you'll need to be 2nd job (trans or non trans), base 99, and at least job 50.

* Job Change Start Locations *
Warlock - Morroc 8 o'clock direction near the destroyed wall, and Splendide northwest environment near the purifier.
Arch Bishop - Prontera Sanctuary
Ranger - Turtle Island
Mechanic - Juno Center Plaza
Rune Knight - Prontera Pub
Guillotine Cross - Morroc Secret Bar

- The cash item assumptio scrolls are no longer being sold.
* Already purchased assumptio scrolls will retain their damage-50% effect.

- Corrected the demi-human damage options on some glorious weapons.

Common Patch

- From 6/17 ~ 7/1 the netcafe Burning event brings Gold Netcafe members +20% experience.

Sakray R Test Server

- Party Improvement System

* Parties of 3 or more people will receive increased experience.
* The party creation update system is added.
(You can't change the party settings after starting a party without leaving, so be careful)

- Refine System has been updated

* The test NPC Jenny has items required for refining (be sure to refine at the 'Holgrehen' NPC near the kafra in the south end of prontera).
* You can now refine items past +10. Refine can now go up to +20, but require a unique refining item.
* Weapons that goes above +15 will receive greatly increased effect.
* Refined weapons now increase the MATK of the weapon as well as regular ATK. This includes regular refines (+10 and below).
* Defense rate of upgrades has changed from 0.7 def per upgrade to 1 defense. This includes regular refines.
* Items that fail upgrading from 1 ~ 10 will still vanish if broken. Items refined at +10 and above that fail are downgraded 3 levels.
ex) +13 Katana on refine fail -> becomes +10 Katana.

- Added 4th skill shortcut row.
- Added quick slot.

* In order to properly test 3-2 classes, we have no intention of wiping the Sakray R server.

Please familiarize yourself with these points before logging in.

Thank you.

It's time to port them.

What about
If I refine a +11 Katana on refine fail -> becomes +8 Katana ?

What about
If I refine a +11 Katana on refine fail -> becomes +9 Katana ?

Items refined at +10 and above that fail are downgraded 3 levels.

So, it will be +8... Nice updates though.. (IMG:http://www.eathena.ws/board/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What about the refine rate? To reach +10, the chances of failing still the same?

[Rytech]

Itl become a +8 Katar.

Well im happy to see the 4th shortcut bar finally fully added. Im goina test this out in eAthena once a diff comes out. Adding it will be easy since just 1 setting needs to be changed to support it. But im wondering what that quick slot is. Now even tho the renewal systems are finally being added to the official server's, I wouldnt jump to anything seeing as the patch from a week ago had changed some attack and defense formula's. I dont know if thats goina be in the main server's after the maintenance. Im sure their still working on the mechanic's for the system and also some other things. So im sure things like some mechanic formulas in the official will change in the future once testing for new formulas are completed in the renewal server.

No need to rush into anything right now. Plus we would kinda need a certain thing to get info directly from.

Im goina test this out in eAthena once a diff comes out. Adding it will be easy since just 1 setting needs to be changed to support it.

Wouldn't the whole new interface be needed to add that, though? Which is a good thing, since it's awesome. I wonder if it could be added to (almost) any server without problems.

About the update, lol at +20 items. I wonder if they're going to change the current refine chances and/or change the current cards that depend on refine.
I also hope they fixed Mechanics before adding them in the main servers :(

[Epoque]

1 Refine = +1 DEF? 10x Items at +20 = +200 DEF.

I'm assuming DEF over 100 will be added to VIT DEF or a variation thereof.
I see no need for items to be refinable up to +20.

[L0ne_W0lf]

Armor defense is no longer percentage based I thought (IMG:http://www.eathena.ws/board/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) So it's just 200 def.

[J0ta]

I don't know about you guys but I really didn't like the refining update =X.
+10 is great...and it is 10% chance...So +20...1%?

[0TCPIP0]

The original % reduction system has been changed, and defense limit has been increased.

i guess it will be around 200-250, so the refining update is ok, but yeah, what are the % for refining, +20 with only 1% isn't what i'd want to be seeing...
i like the safe mechanism for refining though))

[Valchieor]

- Added 4th skill shortcut row.

YESSSS!!! Just what was needed. (IMG:http://www.eathena.ws/board/style_emoticons/default/ani_awsm.gif)

* You can now refine items past +10. Refine can now go up to +20, but require a unique refining item.
* Weapons that goes above +15 will receive greatly increased effect.

WOOT

Ragnarok Renewal Emblem is Red instead of blue

[Gankz]

They even have official art for the classes too! :OOOOOOOO

This is just so cool XDD

[Rytech]

Well I was goina test out the interface and the 4th skill bar, but none of those systems are in the latest Sakray client, and probely will never be in it since Sakray is mainly a old mechanics test server. Seeing that the renewal mechanics and systems are now officially in the main kRO server, it wont be long until the Sakray test server is shutdown since it no longer has a use. Once that happens, bye bye Sakray clients.
