Hello.
Ragnarok Zero adventurers, this is the RO1 Studio Zero Team.
Currently, the Zero Team has been receiving concerns about the development team's direction and various improvement suggestions through 1:1 inquiries and the community following the Sakray server update.
We first would like to ask for your understanding that the Q1 update has been delayed longer than expected as we deliberate on and revise these matters further.
We would like to inform you about the content updates that will take place in Q2 2024.

2. Change to Siege War Method and Siege War Overhaul
With the SE Siege War update in the 3rd week of April, the siege war method will change.
1) Siege Area Reduction and Rotation
All siege areas will be reduced to 1 castle each, and for testing purposes during the first half of the year, castles will change every 2 weeks.
(After the first rotation cycle, castles will change monthly.)
April Week 3: Kriemhild, Repherion, Neuschwanstein, Bright Arbor, Mardol, Himinn open
May Week 1: Swanhild, Eeyolbriggar, Hohenschwangau, Scarlet Palace, Sir, Andlangr open

2) Siege War Time Change
WOE Siege War: Every Wednesday 9 PM ~ 11 PM
SE Siege War: Every Sunday 9 PM ~ 11 PM
3) Castle 
Treasure Box Overhaul
The castle treasure box will be reorganized so that God Material items can be obtained from each castle.
From the SE Siege War treasure box, you can obtain God Material items that allow you to craft new God-tier items.
Some components of the castle treasure box will change, and a 
God Material Box that gives 1 of 30 total God Material types will be added.
Alongside the SE Siege War update, we are also preparing a guild dungeon overhaul and the addition of new guild dungeons.
We plan to add the ability to craft Advanced Guild Member Equipment, which is a higher tier than Intermediate Guild Member Equipment, as well as SE Siege-exclusive God-tier items.

3. Removal of Schwarzwald Movement Restrictions
With the formation of the Midgard Tri-Kingdom Alliance, the Schwarzwald Republic's 'Movement Magic Prohibition Act,' which had existed nominally as one of the social adjustments promised by the corporations, will be lifted.
You will now be able to freely use 
Fly Wing or 
Teleport skills within towns, and the Warp service of the Kafra Service within Schwarzwald and Arunafeltz will be updated.
[Kafra Employee] Please tell me your destination. Adventurers level 60 and below may use this service for free.

4. New Memorial [Central Laboratory] Update
The memorial dungeon [Central Laboratory], featuring various boss monsters from Ragnarok Zero, will be updated.
The memorial dungeon [Central Laboratory] can be entered via the temporary dimensional transporter in the Dimensional Rift.
<Civilization Explorer>
You must help the Civilization Explorer and participate in Dr. Presa's particle accelerator experiment, believed to have taken place hundreds of years ago, to eliminate unidentified creatures transmitted from the dimensional distortion that occurred between the particle accelerator and the catalyst.
<Central Laboratory>

5. Illusion Overhaul and Illusion Investigation Team Update
Along with the Illusion overhaul currently being tested on the Sakray server, the Illusion Investigation Team will be updated.
1) Illusion of Vampire Overhaul
The Illusion of Vampire dungeon will be changed to a level 150 hunting ground, and Hard Mode will be removed.
2) Illusion Investigation Team Update
Investigation team members will be dispatched to study the monster ecology inside the Illusion dungeons.
A daily quest to investigate monsters in the level 150 Illusion dungeon will be added.
[Chief Joel] Hello, I'm Joel, the leader of the Welcoming Investigation Team.

3) Illusion Enchant Method Change
The Illusion enchant process will be changed to use the enchant system.

6. Convenience Feature Updates
1) Equipment Stat Total System
The information currently shown in the status window is limited, making it difficult to grasp the total stats provided by currently equipped items.
In addition to the status window, an Equipment Stat Total System that allows comprehensive viewing of equipment stats will be updated.
2) Card Removal Service
The Card Removal Service, which has been tested on the Sakray server, will officially launch on Malangdo Island.
Card Removal aims to provide a service that allows freely removing cards using Zeny or Lubricant, activating the cards in the process.
Regular card removal is possible with Zeny (2%), 
General Lubricant (10%), or 
High Ranked Lubricant (20%), while Boss cards can only be removed with 
Silit Pong Bottle (100%).
General Lubricant, High Ranked Lubricant, and Silit Pong Bottle can be obtained from 
Special Tool Boxes.
3) Costume ON/OFF Feature Added
In the case of event costumes, there are times when an event costume with an appearance you don't like becomes forced due to event options.
To address this, a feature will be added that allows displaying the appearance of your equipped equipment items instead of the currently worn costume item's appearance.

7. Cupet System Overhaul
Currently, Cupets are appearance items with a pet concept, but contrary to their original purpose, only certain Cupets with good options are being used as Cupets with better options have been updated.
The Zero Team plans to improve this to better fit the original intent of Cupets, as follows.
1) Existing Cupets (eggs) that currently have options will no longer be able to hatch.
2) Existing Cupets (eggs) will be exchanged for 'new Cupets (eggs) without options' and 'special equipment with the Cupet's options.'
3) New Cupets (eggs) can be hatched or exchanged for special equipment with options.
4) The options on special equipment will be applied based on the intimacy level of the currently hatched Cupet.
The Cupet System overhaul is currently under development and testing, and its contents may change. It will be applied via the Sakray server for thorough testing and to gather feedback from adventurers before proceeding.

8. Tutorial and Episode Overhaul
To ease the entry barrier, under the slogan 'The game starts from max level,' the Zero Team has been carrying out various episode overhauls since starting with the December 7, 2022 episode overhaul.
During the implementation of the second episode run, many of the adventurers' concerns were not sufficiently considered, and as a result, the very issues that were feared at the time occurred.
To address the issue of leveling being too easy, we added additional hurdles in the middle, but due to the difference between sections that go up easily via party absence and episodes versus sections where hurdles kick in, an even greater rebound effect occurred, resulting in sections that became more tedious than fun.
Above all, the game's strength lies in the enjoyment of researching various characters and hunting/growing them, and to further reinforce this aspect, we plan to carry out additional reorganization as follows.
1) When creating a character, you will start at Criatura Academy, and a tutorial section will be added, providing support up through the 1st job change.
2) The Super Novice's job change level will be changed to match other job classes (Job Level 10).
3) The episode section that repeats the same content twice for pre-transcendence/transcendence will be changed to only run once.
4) Instead, the transcendence section can be skipped, allowing you to start directly from level 99 after transcending.
However, if you change your job class during transcendence, skipping the transcendence section will not be supported.
5) The experience given in episodes will be fixed at 1% of the required experience for the level cap.
6) Job experience rewards will be removed from all quests that give fixed experience.
7) Overhauls of hunting grounds such as Schwarzwald and Arunafeltz will continue to proceed.
The episode overhaul being carried out this time is not finalized, and will first be applied via the Sakray server to thoroughly review adventurers' feedback before proceeding.

9. Improvements to User Inconveniences
1) Drop rate penalties will be eased.
Along with the episode overhaul, drop rate penalties will be further eased to allow continuous farming appropriate to level range.
Existing: Drop rate penalty applied in stages at Level 20 (80%), Level 30 (70%), Level 40 (50%)
Changed: 100% drop rate applied except at Level 40 (50%)
2) The list of memorial dungeons that Adelia resets will be updated.
3) Monsters that cause unnecessary interference with hunting in certain areas will be removed.
4) 
Preserve's effect will be changed so that it cannot be removed by 
Dispell.
5) The resistance option that previously only reduced weapon attack power will be changed to reduce overall damage.
6) 
Old Blue Box and 
Old Purple Box will no longer drop.
