Hello. Adventurers of Ragnarok Zero, this is the RO1 Studio Zero Team. We would like to inform you about the planned updates for Q2 2022.
1. Episode 1-3 Update
Episode 1 Part.3, Ragnarok Zero's original story, will be updated. After resolving the disaster in the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, adventurers will uncover the truth behind the missing necklace incident and discover the identity of the one who tried to drive the continent of Midgard to ruin, bringing the events of Episode 1 to a close.
Part.3 can be started by receiving a new mission from Saharyo once you complete the Part.2 episode quest and reach Base Lv 70. You can progress through Chapters 10 to 14 and grow up to approximately Lv 99.
The new equipment prepared in Part.3 consists of items for slots that novice adventurers often find difficult to fill, and we prepared them with the hope that they will be of some help on your challenging adventure journey.
<Royal Armory Manager>
Each time you clear a chapter in Episode 1-3, you can use the item exchange ticket you obtain with the Royal Armory Manager NPC to exchange it for new items.
Now, let us reveal one of the additional items available.
| Item Name | Item Description |
|---|---|
| An accessory shaped after Shigrun's hairstyle What kind of stats might it have? Position: Middle |
<Equipped Appearance>
Shigrun's Wings is one of the mid-slot items that novices find difficult to fill. The mid-slot items in Zero often require considerable effort to obtain or are expensive equipment that is hard to fill. Of course, it is not as high-efficiency as existing equipment, but we expect it will show sufficiently powerful effects during early hunting. We added this item with the goal of allowing novice adventurers to more easily tackle items and dungeons using early-game equipment. In addition, many other items to help novice adventurers await you.
2. Main Episode Enhancement and Hunting Ground Reorganization
Starting with Episode 1 Part.1 in Q2 2021, and now updating Part.3 in Q2 2022, we aim to bring the first story of Zero's original episodes to a close. Separately from the episode updates, we have confirmed that as towns and Hunting Grounds were added, there has been a tendency for the episodes to not be properly integrated into the game and instead progress separately.
So that Zero's own story can progress based on the original episode and adventurers can enjoy the game together with the story, we plan to improve and reinforce the story of Episode 1, and accordingly readjust the overall level design through a reorganization of the Hunting Grounds.
We have also confirmed that adventurers have given a lot of feedback regarding the previously updated Hunting Grounds, and we intend to reflect this valuable feedback. Through the Hunting Ground reorganization, we plan to improve the connectivity with the episodes as well as address currently problematic areas, and restore the fun of item farming that is a core enjoyment of Ragnarok.
3. New Job Class Update
Since the Kagerou/Oboro update in 2019, no new character classes have been added for over 2 years.
"With an overwhelming hail of bullets"
Following Kagerou/Oboro, "Gunslinger" and "Rebellion" will be updated as the next classes. "Gunslinger" and "Rebellion" are ranged damage dealers who overwhelm enemies with various types of firearms, and are classes that use 5 different types of firearms.
"Gunslinger", like Ninja, can be reached from Novice with Job Lv 10 or higher, and a "Gunslinger" who reaches Base Lv 99, Job Lv 70 can advance to "Rebellion". Various types of firearms for "Gunslinger" and "Rebellion" will be added.
Please look forward to the arrival of "Gunslinger" and "Rebellion", who crush enemies with powerful firepower. More detailed information will be announced later through a separate developer's note.
This concludes the announcement of the planned updates for Q2 2022.
Please note that the above content is still in development or planned, and details may change upon update. More detailed information will be provided through the official website at the time of the update.
The Zero Team has been working hard to bring fresh changes, but it seems we have not met the expectations of our adventurers. Therefore, we are conducting an overall review of the existing direction of Zero's development. As there are still matters that have not been finalized, they could not be included this time. However, we will quickly return with an additional developer's note containing content that can satisfy the expectations of our adventurers.
We ask for your continued interest and expectations for Ragnarok Zero. Thank you.
