Hello, Ragnarok Zero users,
This is the Ragnarok Zero Team from Ro1 Studio.
We would like to inform you about the update content currently being prepared by our Zero Team.
1. Evolved Cupet and Cupet Update
1) 3 Evolved Cupets (Completed)
3 new Evolved Cupets will be updated.
This time's Evolved Cupets are 
Little Isis, 
Yao Jun, and 
Choco.
Little Isis has a powerful option that increases physical attack power by percentage,
Choco increases critical rate and ranged physical damage, and Yao Jun increases VIT and resistance to [Status Ailment: Stun],
and each evolves from 
Isis, 
Yoyo, and 
Bongun respectively.
<3 Evolved Cupets will be updated>
2) 2 Regular Cupets (Completed)
Taming items will be added for 2 Cupets that could not be tamed due to the absence of taming items.
The taming item for Cupet 
Loli Ruri (increases MaxHP and triggers auto spell [
Heal] when hit), "
Bright Red Juice",
and the taming item for Cupet 
Wanderer (increases AGI), "
Vagabond's Skull", will be added as drops.
<You will now be able to obtain the Wanderer and Loli Ruri Cupets>
2. Guild Dungeon Open (Completed)
The Guild Dungeon will be opened soon.
The Guild Dungeon is a dungeon with special rules.
Basically, it is a dungeon where PvP is possible, and all targets other than fellow guild members, including party members, will be recognized as enemies.
The Guild Dungeon is divided into 2 floors for each Hideout region, one being a dedicated dungeon that only the guild owning the Hideout can enter,
and the other being a public dungeon that any character can enter by paying a certain amount of Zeny.
Each Guild Dungeon is composed of monsters in the level range of 115~120, with Insect-type monsters appearing in Valkyrie Realm,
and Undead-type monsters appearing in Britoniah.
Each monster drops "
Guild Dungeon Coin", which can be exchanged for special PvP equipment or consumable items.
For more detailed information, please refer to the official website notice at the time of the update.

3. Class Balance Adjustment
A skill balance adjustment update is scheduled for all 2nd class jobs this coming May.
As announced in the previous developer notes, adjustment updates for some classes were scheduled for April,
but in order to improve as many classes as possible to enable diverse play,
we have expanded the target classes to all classes and are proceeding with additional development.
Today, we will briefly introduce the planned improvements for each class.

Bowling Bash
To resolve the ambiguity of the hit target criteria, it has been changed to a new hit determination standard,
dealing damage twice to the target and any targets within a 5x5 cell radius around it.
Additionally, when using a two-handed sword, if there are 2~3 targets, it attacks 3 times,
and if there are 4 or more targets, it attacks 4 times, allowing for up to 2000% damage depending on conditions.
A skill cooldown will be added.

6. About Bard & Dancer (Completed)
We would like to inform you about additional modifications and improvements to the Bard & Dancer classes updated this week.
(The class balance adjustment update schedule introduced above is for May, and the content below is scheduled to be updated on April 25th.)
All ensemble/song/dance skills of the Bard & Dancer classes activate without casting time as in the original Ragnarok Online, but instead
there was the inconvenience that movement speed slows down while the effect is maintained, and the skill must be cancelled by switching to a weapon other than an instrument.
Therefore, in exchange for improved mobility and convenience compared to before, casting was additionally applied as a minimal penalty.
However, considering the special nature of ensemble/song/dance (an effect arising from the action of playing and dancing rather than a magical effect),
we intend to provide convenience of play by adding a property that keeps the cast from being interrupted, while still having a cast time.
(However, it can still be interrupted by effects such as 
Spell Breaker.)
Additionally, the casting time for each skill will be significantly reduced, and the ensemble/song/dance skill effects being cancelled under certain conditions will be
improved so that they are no longer cancelled.
In addition, the duration of the ensemble aftereffect will be significantly reduced, and the calculation of the effects of 
Magic Strings and 
Suffragium will be improved to be applied
additively.
(However, in the case of the Variable Cast Reduction options of Magic Strings and Suffragium, since the variable cast reduction from skills is applied first,
followed by the variable cast reduction options granted by equipment, they are not summed together with the variable cast value from item options.)
In the case of 
Mental Sensing, a phenomenon was confirmed where even quest experience was increased,
and this will be changed to an effect that increases experience gained from defeating monsters.
So far, we have introduced the content currently being developed by the Ragnarok Online: ZERO Team.
Since there is still content under development, some changes may occur,
and more detailed information will be delivered through the official website at the time of the update.
Thank you.
