Battle Settings

Strength effects all types, Mobs, Players, Pets etc…
Default: Homunculus and Players
We need to up the difficulty or mobs would be too easy.

All types can use a critical attack.
Default: Players only
Just to increase difficulty.

Undead Attribute is based on element or race.
Default: Element only
Just for fun.

Players/Monsters can recover health if you use the same element attack.
Just to make things more interesting.

Upped the minimum hit rate from 5% to 8%.
Attempting to make mobs more difficult.

Ghostring now affects all attacks/types, including mobs.
Making Ghostring more useful for nostalgia.

Skills that break your own equipment have been reduced by 50%.
A lot of useful skills do this; I’d like to see more of them.

Skills that break equipment have been reduced by 50%.
It’s annoying, with testing this is a slight change.

Arrows will be consumed and guess how many should be used on every skill.
Otherwise, some skills are free.

Falcon and Wargs can now be used at the same time.
I mean, why not?

Client Settings

27 Hair styles
I’d like to add more if I can find good sets.

Hair colors have been changed to 251.

Cloth colors have been changed from 4 to 553

Server will not report WoE damage to client.
Less cheating.

Viewable area has been increased from 14 to 18.
More information that needs to be sent in packets but the view is worth it.

Maximum walk distance increased from 17 to 24 cells.
17 is way too short.

Display Version on login has been disabled.
You can still see this via NPC’s.

The visual effect of hallucination has been disabled.
I have never seen this work properly, it causes the client to frame drop.

Server should remember the direction you were last in when you log back in.
Why isn’t this on by default?

Drop Settings

Doubled the floor item drop time from 1 minute to 2 minutes.
Easier farming!

When you kill a monster, the time someone else can pick up an item has been increased from 3 seconds to 4 seconds. The second person who did the most damage can pick up an item after 4 seconds. A third person can pick up the item after 1 second.

Item Drop rates for all items have been increased by 10x

Luck doesn’t affect drops.
This one’s up for debate. It would be interesting to increase the chances and give advantages to people with the luck stat.

Finding ore rate has been doubled.
It’s an underused skill.

All alchemist monsters now drop items.
Makes things a lot easier.

Experience Settings

Experience rate is 5x.
It is a little low, but I’ve made a lot of leveling spots.

Job Experience has been increased by 12x.
With a low rates, having a job level at a higher rate keeps things interesting. It’s balanced, as there is no rebirth needed.

Exp is now calculated on the damage done, not on last hit; this means Emperium breaking will be given to the person who does the most damage.

MVP’s give 10x normal experience.
This gives MvP some use for something other than loot. Making them valuable to hunt!

Quest experience has been increased to 1200%
Let’s be honest. No one like Ragnarok Quests that much.

Players now gain minor experience by healing.
This is mostly used to gauge how much HP they have by looking at your exp gains. That and help our support bros out.

Resurrection should now give you some experience.
It’s like Karma, only exp.

Overcharge and Discount will give good experience.
Merchants are often the hardest class to level. This helps a lot!

Death penalty has been increased to 5% exp job.
Trying to discourage suicide runs and give death more of a consequence. Stay safe!

Guild Settings

Guild can now tax up to 99%.
50% is just dumb. If you’re max level, why not?

Guilds can now only take over 10 castles max.
Not sure if there should be a limit? I’m open if you have ideas on this.

Defending Guild monsters now take 50%.
That’s still a minor change.

Guild damage adjustments:
Melee increased to 100% from 80%.
Long range attacks haven’t changed at 80%.
Weapon skill damage increased to 100% from 60%
Magic attack increased to 100% from 60%.
Misc damage increased to 80% from 60%.
Guild flee remains at 20% penalty.
Overall damage has been increased. Trust me when I say this is needed. I may increase it further. If you think these need further adjustments, let me know.

Max alliances remain at 3.
I’m open to change this, but I don’t want WoE to become inactive once a large alliance forms.

Homunculus

Homunculus becomes friendly 4 times faster

You can rename your Homunculus

Items

Maximum an item can sell for now 1 Billion.

Vending Tax has been removed until the server’s economy grows.

All monsters will remain active for 30 seconds after a player has left the map.

Monsters will not eat and consume items but pick them up.

Plant Spawn delays have been reduced by 50%.>
Making life easier for Alchemists.

Monsters will try to not spawn in the vision of the player.

Slaves – Monsters spawned from other monsters will not inherit any passive or aggressive traits from their master.

Slaves will not inherit any speed from their master.
This is more interesting when unique mobs act as they normally do.

Monsters will not always go after the master.
This allows you to have your homunculus fight and tank for you.

Mobs that can become aggressive to casters (sense cast) will now become aggressive with any skill cast on them.

Monsters that change their class will not recover any HP for doing so.

Mobs will only show a percentage of their health with text, not HP.

Mobs that have taken any damage will be removed after 15 minutes with no player on the map.

Mobs that have events, like Emperium, will be triggered by the person that does the most damage, not the person who gets the last hit. So when taking down a castle, it goes to the people who did the most damage.
This prevents things like kill stealing naturally as experience is given has an HP ratio. It also prevents WoE Emperium sniping.

Mobs that are larger will give double the exp and have double the stats.

MvP tomb will appear 30 seconds after death.

Mobs should now attack Ice Walls to break out of them.

MvP’s will now have a very low chance to attempt to break ice walls before they teleport away.

There are other features that I’m open to talking about with the monsters. Monster leveing is one that may be OK to enable on this server. However, this makes MvP’s extreemly strong. If anyone dies the MvP will have full health again, a party wipe could make a very strong monster. But the mobs become more valuable in terms of Experience that they give. What are your thoughts?

Party

The chat should now show if someone has stolen a valuable item.

On official servers, the HP updates anytime someone is hit, here that’s been changed to update everytime the map does.
This will reduce latency issues when mobs do frequent damage

You will not loose any experience rates when you party, instead for each additional member in your party in share range, you will gain 10% more experience.

More Epic battles

Player SP has been increased by 3.5 times.

Natural HP and SP will be zero when respawning.
