Test realm - not the live game
PTR AegisRO2 is a public test realm. It is open to everyone, to try Ragnarok Online 1 style stats and combat before anything changes on live. The live game keeps running unchanged. Everyone starts with a new level 1 character. What you do on the PTR stays on the PTR. It is a test: things may break or change, and PTR characters may be wiped. There is room for 50 players at a time.
Access
- Start the launcher. It updates itself to version 1.0.7.
- Click PTR at the top left. The launcher downloads a separate copy of the game (about 4.6 GB). Then click PLAY PTR.
- Your live game is not touched.
- Log in with your normal account name and password. A new account or a changed password reaches the PTR within a few minutes.
- The PTR is in English. The Korean wording of the new skill texts is still being checked.
Stats
- STR makes your close attacks stronger.
- AGI makes you dodge more and attack faster.
- VIT gives you more HP and takes more off physical hits.
- INT gives stronger magic, more magic defence, more SP and faster SP recovery.
- DEX makes you hit more often, makes ranged attacks stronger and shortens casting.
- LUK gives more critical hits and lucky dodges against normal physical attacks.
- You start with 48 stat points and earn more with every level.
- Open the Character window, press + and then Apply. The higher a stat, the more points the next step costs.
- Each job keeps its own stats.
Combat
- ASPD is your attack speed: higher means faster normal attacks. AGI and DEX raise it.
- HIT is your accuracy, FLEE is your dodging.
- A critical hit ignores the accuracy roll and physical defence.
- Armour takes a percentage off a normal physical hit, then VIT takes off a bit more.
- Magic sets your MATK against the target's MDEF. It has no accuracy roll.
- Many attack skills deal a percentage of your ATK or MATK. Heal grows with its level and your INT.
Recovery
- HP does not recover by itself while you fight. SP still does.
- Sitting makes both recover twice as fast.
- The standard HP and SP potions heal their whole amount at once and have no cooldown. VIT makes HP potions heal more, INT does the same for SP potions.
Levelling
- Monsters give two times the Ragnarok Online 1 experience. Base levels need what they needed there, up to level 50.
- Job levels have their own table. A Novice can keep gaining job levels up to 50.
- A monster below your level gives less experience, and none from 6 levels below.
- In a party, living members in range share experience equally, with 25% extra for each additional attacker.
- A stat reset potion gives back the stat points of your current job.
Monsters
- Monsters keep their levels and places. They have Ragnarok Online 1 sized HP and hit at full strength.
