NewsPTR12 October 2026

Test realm - not the live game

PTR AegisRO2 is our test realm for Ragnarok Online 1 style stats. These notes are for the test realm only. None of these changes is in the live game yet.

Combat and recovery

  • SP now keeps recovering while you attack. It ticks every 8 seconds standing or 4 seconds sitting.
  • Successful attacks used to restart the SP wait, even when they cost 0 SP. Repeated attacks could stop recovery completely.
  • HP still stops recovering during a fight. Outside combat, it ticks every 6 seconds standing or 3 seconds sitting.

Potions and food

  • Low Red Potion, Red Potion and Super Red Potion: 0 seconds cooldown.
  • Low Yellow Potion, Yellow Potion, High Yellow Potion and Super Yellow Potion: 0 seconds cooldown.
  • Low White Potion, White Potion and Super White Potion: 0 seconds cooldown.
  • Adventurer Potion: 0 seconds cooldown.
  • These potions no longer inherit a 180 second countdown from other items.
  • Peach Juice and Fresh Crab: reuse wait 180 seconds -> 0 seconds. Their missing timer used to hide a server wait.
  • Wind Potion: movement speed +20 percent for 90 seconds. Reuse wait 180 seconds -> 0 seconds.
  • Sweet Cocktail: movement speed +20 percent for 90 seconds. Reuse wait 180 seconds -> 0 seconds.
  • Another speed drink refreshes the 90 seconds. The speed bonuses do not stack.
  • The normal 0.5 second pause after using an item or skill still applies.

Skills

  • We restored the older cooldowns for skills that spend all your LP. Below are the first and highest ranks changed. The numbers are displayed cooldowns; the old server wait followed your attack speed.
  • Insight Strike | rank 1: 1 second -> 30 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 21 seconds.
  • Courageous Assault | rank 1: 1 second -> 15 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 15 seconds.
  • Spread Shot | rank 1: 1 second -> 30 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 30 seconds.
  • Polleo Shot | rank 1: 1 second -> 8 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 8 seconds.
  • Final Blow | rank 1: 1 second -> 60 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 60 seconds.
  • Envenom | rank 1: 1 second -> 25 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 25 seconds.
  • Fatal Blow | rank 1: 1 second -> 35 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 35 seconds.
  • Forcefull Blow | rank 1: 1 second -> 10 seconds | rank 5: 1 second -> 10 seconds.
  • Battle Shout | rank 1: 1 second -> 30 seconds | rank 10: 1 second -> 30 seconds.
  • Internal Injury now works from a specialty slot for the base jobs.

Character window

  • Hover over a stat name to read what it does.
  • “STR: Stronger close attacks; a small boost to ranged attacks.”
  • “AGI: Better dodging and faster normal attacks.”
  • “VIT: More HP, stronger recovery and HP potions, less physical damage.”
  • “INT: More SP, stronger magic and healing, better SP recovery.”
  • “DEX: Better accuracy and ranged damage, faster attacks and casting.”
  • “LUK: More critical hits, lucky dodges and ailment resistance.”
  • At low levels, several INT points may be needed before maximum SP rises. Fractional gains are dropped.
  • After a map or channel change, the window now receives your stats again. It used to fall back to the old layout and hide your available points.

Area skills

  • New in PTR update 4: area skill damage is shared only over the targets really hit. This covers Magnum Break, Gust Cutting, Clean Cut and Fire Breath.
  • Magnum Break at rank 1, hitting 1 target: 50 percent -> 150 percent of ATK before defence. With 2 targets, each takes 75 percent; with 3 targets, each takes 50 percent.
  • Mocking Blow and Lightning Shot are not changed yet.

Experience

  • The PTR experience rate is 3 times -> 2 times the base rate.
  • New in PTR update 4: the experience cut for monsters below your level is back, as in the live game. Base and job experience: 65 percent at 1 level below you, 40 percent at 2, 25 percent at 3, 15 percent at 4, 10 percent at 5 and 0 percent at 6 or more levels below.
  • Monsters at or above your level give their normal experience. There is no bonus for higher monsters on the PTR.

Courageous Assault

  • New in PTR update 4: the extra damage for the LP you spend is back, as the tooltip says. At rank 3: +10 / +19 / +30 / +41 / +52 damage for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 LP.
  • Its doubled critical chance now works under the PTR rules too.

How to get the update

  • Restart the launcher, select PTR and let it update before you play.
  • The latest PTR client version is 2026.10.12.5-ptr. PTR update 4 is a server update: there is no new download for it.
