Weapon powers

  • Every weapon page lists its powers: its element, extra stats, chances to blind, poison or curse, extra damage against some monster races, and the spells it can cast while you fight.
  • Each weapon page also shows where to get it, for example which monster drops it or which Blacksmithing recipe makes it.

Professions

  • Alchemy and Skinning have their own pages: where to learn them, how to rank up and every recipe.
  • The Skinning page shows which animals you can skin at which skill.
  • Grand Master recipes are listed for every profession.

Alchemy, Skinning, 121 new weapons and the Golden Thief Bug

A big update: two new professions, Grand Master rank, 121 new weapons with their own powers, a real boss fight for the Golden Thief Bug, fish sizes and many fixes. A client update for Windows, Mac and Android plus a big server update.

Early alpha

Professions, the new weapons and the boss fight are new and in early alpha. Numbers, recipes and spots can still change while we tune them. Please tell us what you find with Report a bug in the Esc menu.

Alchemy

  • A new profession: brew potions at the Alchemy cauldron.
  • Learn it from Wilhelmina, the Alchemist Master, in Hodemimes, Prontera, Cognito Harbor, Alfheim and the Forest of Echoes. She also sells Empty Bottles.
  • Every potion needs herbs and an Empty Bottle. Alchemy makes buff potions, regeneration and cures, and also the Red, Orange, Yellow and White healing potions.
  • Refine Anima: turn 3 Anima into 1 better Anima at skill 150 and 225. This helps every profession.
  • A brew can fail, like other crafts.
  • Potions no longer sell to shops: they are worth 0 Zeny there.

Skinning

  • A new gathering profession: skin beasts after you defeat them.
  • Learn it from the Skinner Master in Hodemimes, Prontera, Cognito Harbor, Alfheim and the Forest of Echoes.
  • A beast you can skin shows a small knife glint after its loot is gone. Click it to skin.
  • Start with the White Sheep and Potemkin south-east of Prontera. Higher skill opens more animals.
  • Skins and hides are the leather for the Tailor.

Grand Master

  • Every profession except Skinning now goes up to rank 5, Grand Master, with new recipes at the top.
  • Profession windows can now hold many more recipes, with pages to flip through.

121 new weapons

  • New weapons for every job: daggers for Thieves and Novices, swords for Swordmen, rods and staffs for Enchanters, rifles for Recruits.
  • Each one has its own look and icon.
  • 23 drop from monsters, 10 drop from Putangka, the King of Poroporo, and 88 can be crafted with Blacksmithing.
  • Weapons now carry their own powers: an element such as Holy, Dark, Poison or Ghost, extra stats, a chance to blind, poison or curse, more damage against some monster races, and more.
  • Some weapons cast spells while you fight: Storm Gust, Meteor Storm, Lord of Vermilion, Jupitel Thunder, Earth Spike and others.
  • The Zeny Knife puts a little Zeny straight into your purse when you defeat a monster.
  • The item text of every weapon lists its powers.

New armour looks

  • 56 new recipes for the Tailor and the Blacksmith with armour looks you could not get before: shoes, trousers, skirts, robes and gloves.
  • 30 new items, among them the Pumpkin Head, Sunglasses, the Clown Face Mask, the Furry Hood and a long white robe.
  • Crafted items come out in a random version, like every craft.

Golden Thief Bug

  • The Golden Thief Bug in the Prontera Culvert is now a real boss fight in three phases.
  • First it guards its pit: four Pit Guards wake up when you attack. Watch for Gold Rush (a red circle on the ground), a gold shockwave when its target gets healed, and its golden shell against ranged hits.
  • Below 60% health, Thief Bugs crawl out to help it, and its bites rob you for a short time.
  • Below 30% health, it burrows away for a moment and comes back in a golden fury.
  • It is made for a party of about level 25. It returns 30 minutes after it is defeated.
  • Red warning circles now also show when you stand in water.

Fishing

  • Every fish now has a size. The Fisher Master keeps a board with the biggest catches.
  • Weekly fishing records with prizes, and new fishing achievements.
  • When the fishing game starts, it now gets your keys right away: Space no longer makes you jump.
  • No more "That action is not available here" after a catch.

Prices

  • Gear sells to shops for 10 times less than before.
  • Crafted gear sells for at most 50,000 Zeny.

World and monsters

  • Monsters that cast from a distance no longer run away when you come close. They hold their spot.
  • Monsters no longer stand or wander inside warp areas, for example at the Cave of Emir entrance.
  • More sheep and Potemkin south-east of Prontera, and more beetles in Blue Echo.
  • Recoba now casts its water spell.
  • Sweet Potato and Fruit Slice from the shops now work instantly.
  • The Prontera stairs are easier to walk up.
  • New gathering spots for beginners near Prontera, Alfheim, Cognito Harbor and the Forest of Echoes.

Fixes

  • Yawoong frees players who were stuck.
  • Herbs have a new look, with a light column that shows their rank.
  • The menu button no longer shows a mail dot: mail is read at the mailbox.

Android and Mac

  • Android: version 1.2.27. The old app asks you to update before you play.
  • Mac: the new version downloads through the launcher.

Start the launcher to get the update.

Professions are on the Wiki

Everything about professions is now on the Wiki: where to learn them, where every herb, ore and fishing spot is on the map, what you can catch, and every recipe with its ingredients.

Professions on the Wiki

Also new

  • Item pages now show where a profession item comes from: gathered, caught or made, and what it is used in.

Professions are in early alpha, so numbers and spots can still change. Found a mistake? Use Report a mistake on the Wiki page, or Report a bug in the game.

Preserving a classic.

AegisRO2 is a non-commercial fan project. Our Aegis Engine runs The Gate of the World again, with a client rebuilt from recovered source code.

The world includes Hodemimes, Prontera and Alfheim, alongside the restored maps from December 2006. Our World Editor helps us study the old maps and build new ones.

Recovered concept art for The Gate of the World

The lost 2006 maps are back.

Visit 13 restored maps alongside the 2007 world. Talk to the Old Maps Guide to travel there and back; the portals between the old maps work too.

The Video settings let you switch to the 2006 textures, music, glow and camera.
