Alright thanks. The maintenance started, I hope they won't remove/reduce the Novice Pot exploit because without them leveling will be unavailable, not with these prices and drop rates.

In addition to our Valkyrie server opening, our Premium servers, Chaos, Loki, and Iris, also have received an update today. All Premium servers will enjoy a permanent rates update to 125% Experience and Drops from the normal RO values.

Today marks the begining of a new era for Ragnarok Online, 'Thank You' to all of you that have always made RO your home, and 'Welcome' to all you who are just starting our your journey with us!

Take Flight in our world!

... Right! This means the rates we had were reduced before the official opening?

Kentaro · 09-30-2008, 05:25 PM

Yes but this part confuses me, does it mean they changed the rates back to 100%? Or these current Valkyrie rates (0.75/0.75/0.5) are reffered to as 100%?

Anyway, how long does iRO maintenance last?

Dexen · 09-30-2008, 05:27 PM

im thinking they raised all exp on every server by 25% so that chart is no longer valid, so it should be like we are now playing just regular iro. btw i saw u yesterday outside of payon cave kentaro

Yeah I was afk and when I got back you already logged out. If they really changed the rates back to "normal RO" then that's great. The drop rate was killing me so now if they only added a Warpra...

Dexen · 09-30-2008, 05:42 PM

yeah seriously, but i guess i can just ration out my free passes lol, then again if rates are normal, then aco warps will become affordable

highly doubt it, since that'll scare off the newb players and novie pots are only good for so long before ya have to upgrade to red pots. They did get rid of the quick zeny exploit on Valk, where you could sell the non-novie pots, equips, and phracon they give you for a quick 6k or so.

And this says that they did boost the rates to default levels: http://iro.ragnarokonline.com/forum/...sts=26&start=1

Edit: changed link to one that's a bit more official. Still says the same thing though

wow, this is good news! finally, 100% drop rate! As for the newbie exploit, if they remove it, I wonder if we'll see the reemergence of beggars.

Stevz · 09-30-2008, 06:11 PM

I'm more than happy with the rates news. The no warps mean people have to travel which is what I did all the time on Chaos.

It's an Exploit alright. But there are other and better ways of fixing it thought.

Akel · 09-30-2008, 06:27 PM

After browsing the forums and such, I suspect these are all the changes for Valkyrie:

100% Exp/Drop rates.
Upgrading isn't safe at any level (so you can fail +1 even on a level 1 weapon) with the exception of enhanced elunium.
Cost of upgrading has been returned to normal. Before it was 1000z for lvl 1 weapon, now it's back down to 50z.
Teleport is now 100SP, down from 500SP before.
