Materials required for forging these weapons is difficult, but other than random options the equipment also has certain options inately.
※ Why is there no card slot in the refined weapon?
Instead of card slots, random options are placed there.
Bard & Dancer Update
In April 2018, Bard & Dancer will be added. We will inform you of the details of the update in a dev note before a later update.
Job Balance Adjustments
Here's more information about the balance adjustment currently in progress.
First of all, we've had many inquiries about the Assassin career group.
It is correct that the Assassin is doing high damage in a 1:1 situation with respect to the double attack's critical application and the Qatar-type critical probability increase. However, in the current situation, the damage efficiency of the other occupational groups except Assassin is low, so it is emerging as a problem of the Assassin, and this is planned to achieve sufficient efficiency through adjustment work and equipment support of other occupational groups.
Next let's talk about the Rogue's Steal Coin skill problem.
Zeny production from Steal Coin is not at risk. However, we will add a skill cooldown to control the skill's efficiency.
In addition to the above-mentioned job groups, various other jobs are being adjusted.
However, even if it takes some time for the update schedule, it has not been decided whether to proceed with the adjustment of more occupations or whether to proceed with the update from the first applicable adjustment history, so we will inform you of the details through the developer note as soon as the schedule is confirmed.
In addition, there are many inquires about the options of the Moonlight Dagger (월광검).
In Ragnarok Zero, there will be no option to absorb SP/HP as much as a certain percentage of the damage dealt with a certain probability. Most of the inquiries are.
Our Ragnarok Zero development team believes that it is not an excessive option for a small amount of recovery for each hit, such as a moonlight sword, compared to the SP absorption option that is proportional to the high damage of the skill, and the amount of recovery is carefully managed.
The SP recovery option for each hit has no balance problem compared to the SP absorption option, and there is an opportunity cost factor to give up other options instead of taking SP recovery. There is no plan to exclude recovery options.
We have introduced you to the contents that are being prepared by Ragnarok Zero team so far.

Thank you.
