Hello.
This is the RO1 Studio Zero Team, speaking to all Ragnarok Online Zero adventurers.
First, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the two update delays that occurred in June.
All of the Zero Team's developers worked hard to identify the cause and resolve the issues,
but we judged that it would be difficult to proceed with the update while critical errors remained,
so the update was unavoidably delayed, and we sincerely apologize to the customers who were disappointed by this.
Since the last update delay, we have conducted an overall review to check for any other issues,
and we will do our best to ensure that such issues do not occur in the future.
In Q3, we plan to proceed with content that could not be completed within Q2,
as well as adjustments to the skill performance of some job classes.
Now, let us guide you through the major content scheduled to be updated in Ragnarok Online Zero in Q3.
1. Original Episode 1 Part.1
An episode based on the story of the original Ragnarok will be opened.
Following the two previous update delays, we conducted a thorough re-inspection of the entire episode content,
and critical issues have also been fixed.
It has been designed so that new users can naturally learn basic controls such as hunting methods, moving between areas,
equipping gear, and increasing stats while progressing through quests and the story,
and we plan to continue meeting with adventurers through ongoing episode updates in the future.
【Iris】 Dad said not to take a single step outside for a while, since I went out recruiting outside the village for three days. So how are we supposed to find them?
【Chaos】 First, let's deal with Haetteumdo. Since we're both banned from going out for now, I'll go look for Haetteumdo myself. How about it?

2. Rachel, the Capital of the Arunafeltz Theocracy, Update
Rachel, the capital of the Arunafeltz Theocracy—the third nation of the Midgard continent, built in the middle of a desert and devoted to the goddess 'Freyja'—will be updated. Through this update, the Rachel Sanctuary and the ice dungeon area will also be revealed together.
In the ice dungeon, you can obtain weapons specialized for the Rachel region,
and based on this equipment, rapid growth in the Rachel Sanctuary will be possible.

3. Skill Improvements for Certain Job Classes
We at the Zero Team are also aware that many adventurers want improvements to job skill balance.
As explained in our Q2 developer notes, the intent behind this skill balance improvement
is to curb the concentration phenomenon toward a few specific classes among the many job classes.
Currently, the most popular classes in Ragnarok Online Zero, in order, are High Priest, Sniper, and High Wizard,
and we believe the reason for this concentration is the large gap in skill effectiveness compared to other classes.
Our Zero Team plans to raise the skill effects of other job classes by a certain proportion,
along with some skills of these heavily favored classes, and to proceed quickly with future balance updates
in order to correct the imbalance in class distribution.
First, the skills to be improved within Q3 are as follows.
▶ Swordman: 
Magnum Break
▶ Gypsy/Clown: 
Vulcan Arrow
▶ Ninja: 
Throw Zeny
▶ Merchant: 
Cart Revolution
▶ Acolyte: 
Holy Light
▶ Thief: 
Envenom
▶ Assassin: 
Throw Venom Knife
In addition to these, skill improvement work for other job classes is also underway,
and specific details will be announced through additional notices in the future.
This concludes our announcement regarding the planned updates for Q3 2021.
The content above is still under development or planned, so details may change upon actual update,
and please refer to the official website's announcements for detailed information when the update is released.
We will see you again in the next developer note.
Thank you.
