News

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.

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.

Our biggest update so far: seven professions, achievements with titles, the first card powers, fully random gear and many fixes. A client update for Windows, Mac and Android plus a big server update.

A client update for Windows, Mac and Android, plus invasion and quest fixes on the server.

A big client update for Windows, Mac and Android, plus quest and monster fixes on the server.

Invasion gear now leans towards your class: its bonus lines favour your class's main stats.

The invasion banner shows the medal you will really get at the end.

Falling hurts much less: fall damage is cut by 75%.

Mask of Pain can be traded, mailed and sold again.

Monsters can now hit with their full attack range, and the Birch Goblins in the Alfheim Dungeon walk around.

Story chapter 5: the Beacon Eater counts again when it chased you away from its spot.

No client update needed: this was a server update.

If you sold or traded a quest item, abandon the quest and take it again to get a new one.

Two quests that could be done twice for double rewards now work as intended.

Abandoning a quest and taking it again no longer gives its starting item a second time.

In the quest with the box and the Nunlif Soldier, clicking the box again no longer brings extra soldiers.

The Alfheim weapon merchant now sells weapons for levels 24 to 33 instead of beginner weapons.

Fell through the floor on a field? After 2 seconds under the ground the game now puts you back on your last spot.

Searching the market by rank shows results again, and deleting an item from the equipment window now gives a clear answer.

The world map (M) now has pictures for Prontera Culvert, Forest of Echoes and Blue Echo. Your head turns to what you click while riding a Peco Peco. The stun skills' tooltips explain that the target's VIT, LUK and level lower the chance. Switching between windows is safer.

Start the launcher to get the update.

Move with the stick on the left. The big button on the right attacks, talks or loots, and it picks the nearest monster for you. Your skills appear around it when you fight and hide again when you walk.

To put a skill on a button, open your skills window and the empty buttons appear. Tap a skill, then a button. Potions work the same way with your bag.

You can move every part of the screen, or turn parts off, in the HUD settings in the menu. Reset puts everything back.

Playing with a controller works as before: connect it and the touch buttons step aside.

Open the app to get the update.

Party members now show reliably on the minimap and the world map, also when they are far away: they stay at the edge of the minimap, so you always know which way to go. Hover a member to see the name.

In voiced story scenes, each spoken line now appears in full right away, so the text no longer falls behind the voice.

The rows in the Wing of Wind and Old Maps travel windows are no longer grey.

Fixed: the game could freeze for good when you moved with a right-click while many monsters appeared at once, for example during an invasion.

Start the launcher to get the update.

The voices say exactly the words on screen, so you can still read along. Click on or skip, and the voice stops right away.

You can set the volume with the sound settings.

Start the launcher to get the update.

New switch in the shop: Sell stack (off at first). Selling a stack sells all of it, without the amount box. Sold something by mistake? Buy it back on the Repurchase tab.

Your bag can grow: drag its corner to make it wider and taller, up to all 100 slots on one page. The game remembers your size.

The quest board now shows the Base EXP and Job EXP of a quest, in the same style as the quest log, with tidier spacing.

All button hints have the new look. In the HUD editor you can now pick items under the top bar, and Tab moves through all items.

While a story scene plays, monsters can no longer hurt you, and they stop chasing you.

Pukui now stomp once instead of twice.

The moon now fades out softly near the horizon.

Earlier today we also fixed quest objects (like the Fragment of Bridge) that could not be looted, and the missing picture in story scenes on Mac.

Start the launcher to get the update.

Today's update brings a big round of fixes on the server and a new client.

Mail

• You can send mail even when your own inbox is full.
• A character with unclaimed items or zeny in its mailbox can no longer be deleted, so nothing gets lost. Claim them first, then delete.
• Mailing an item together with zeny now charges both fees correctly.

Drops

• Rare items that dropped on every single kill now drop 90% of the time.
• Monsters from level 40 up drop gear 1.5 times as often.
• 82 monsters that dropped almost nothing now also drop a common potion or material.

Skills and invasions

• Call Machine costs 15 SP, so a new Recruit can use it.
• Focus Shot now has a 5 second wait.
• Back Stab no longer fails when you stand right behind a monster.
• Invasions have easier shared goals.

Quests

• Two quests that asked for more items than they gave now take just one.
• The last story chapter now completes.

Fixes everywhere

• Party invites expire after 60 seconds.
• Cancelling a trade closes the window for both players.
• The friends list shows all 50 friends.
• A stat reset potion works from any stack size.
• Two players can no longer get more than the full EXP of one monster together.
• Bound and unbound items no longer merge when you move them between your bag and storage.
• To stop spam, you can send up to 6 chat lines every 5 seconds.
• One broken look no longer hides all your other transmog looks.

New client

• Move HUD parts with the arrow keys in the HUD editor (Shift moves 10 at a time). The Stone of Promise and show-players buttons now move with the mini map.
• Bags and capes stay visible while you ride a Peco Peco.
• The Jack Mask is a pumpkin mask for the head slot.
• Hover the item you won in an invasion to see its stats.
• The Albrasia quest board is back next to Migo.
• A fix for a rare crash when closing windows with a controller.
• The game has the RO2 wolf icon on Windows.

Start the launcher to get the update.

You need an Android phone with 64-bit Android and Vulkan 1.3. We tested it on the Galaxy Z Fold. It is made for a controller.

To install it, open your personal status page on your phone and tap Download for Android. Your phone asks if your browser may install apps: allow it for this install.

After that it works like on Windows. Log in to the launcher, let it download the game and press PLAY.

This version is new. If something does not work, please send us a bug report.

It is the same game on the same server. Your login and your characters work on both.

You need an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) with macOS 26 or newer. The game downloads about 3.9 GB and takes about 9.2 GB on your disk. Keep about 10.4 GB free while it installs.

To install it, download AegisRO2 for Mac from your personal status page and drag AegisRO2 into Applications. The first time, your Mac stops it. Click Done, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only have to do this once.

After that it works like on Windows. Log in to the launcher, let it download the game and press PLAY.

This version is new, so a few things are different:

Some trees are not drawn on a Mac yet.

If your left clicks feel stuck, close apps that change how your mouse or keyboard works, such as Magnet or Hyperkey.

If the game stops with a message about the graphics, start it again and please tell us.

A Mac update can come a little later than the Windows one. Until it is ready, the launcher shows "Mac update coming".

Mail is fixed. Before, only the first mail in your box could be read properly. Now you can open, claim and delete every mail. The Sent tab shows the right rows too. Nothing was lost: mails you could not open are still in your box. If you won an invasion reward by mail, it is there as well.

Invasion rewards are easier to win. You now need to be in the ring for at least a quarter of the time, not half. You still have to fight to get a reward.

Savage Baby no longer drops several items on every kill. Those drop rates were wrong in our data.

Timed potions and foods, such as Swift Potion, now renew when you drink a second one instead of stacking.

Bleeds and stuns now end when you die, so they no longer hit you again after you revive.

A party that shrinks to one player can still loot its own kills.

When an invasion ends, you no longer stay stuck in battle with no HP or SP coming back.

One account can no longer be in the world twice, and a character that is playing can no longer be deleted from a second screen.

We also made the server steadier. The server now saves everyone before a normal shutdown. Monsters can no longer get stuck standing at 0 HP when something goes wrong as they die. We fixed a rare fault that could make monsters drop their whole loot table, and some rare freezes.

An invasion lasts 10 minutes and comes in waves. A ring on the ground and on your minimap shows where it is, and it has its own music. While you stand inside the ring, the invasion panel takes the place of your quest list. It shows the waves, the time left and a shared progress bar for everyone. When the bar is full, the invasion is won.

There are seven invasions: Fabre Swarm (level 2-10), Hornet Swarm (6-11), Andre Swarm (12-17), Piere Swarm (18-22), Skeleton Swarm and Orc Raid (26-34), and Alfheim Forest (49-61). Each map can get about four an hour while players are on it.

Your own points decide your medal: Bronze, Silver or Gold. At the end a banner shows your medal and what you won. You get EXP, job EXP, zeny and one piece of armour or an accessory for your job. Bronze gives a green item, Silver a blue one and Gold a purple one. The item's level follows the invasion, so it can be a little above your own level. If so, you can keep it until you can wear it. If your bag is full, the reward goes to your mailbox.

To win a reward you have to fight: deal damage yourself and stay in the ring for at least a quarter of the time. Rewards go up to five levels above the invasion's range, so Fabre Swarm pays up to level 15. Higher levels are welcome to help, but they get no reward.

Alfheim and Poro Island have 62 new quests. Look for the new quest board beside Migo Alfred in Alfheim town.

The Cognito quests that used to be empty are now real stories: 51 quests in 13 storylines. Prontera's side quests were reworked the same way. Small errands were merged into bigger quests, so there is less running back and forth and each quest tells more of its story. If you are in the middle of an old quest, you can finish it the old way.

Quests pay more EXP in Hodemimes, Prontera and Cognito. Hodemimes side quests now give at least 8% of a level.

Looting is quicker. When you open a corpse, the window also shows the loot of your other kills nearby, in one list.

We also fixed a lot of smaller things:

Waibi's Graffiti can now be taken.

Chat lines like "..." and "!!!" now reach other players.

Cancelling a cast no longer leaves a hidden wait, so a skill that looks ready really is ready.

Mail buttons now do what they say. Cancel takes back an unread mail and returns its item and zeny to you. Delete only removes it from your sent list, and the mail still arrives.

The block list now also stops whispers, however the name is written.

If the game refuses to let you throw away an item, your bag no longer stays locked.

We fixed a rare case where Bluish Green Bandits outside Hodemimes could freeze the whole server. A bandit killed by your first hit no longer calls its guards.

Monsters keep moving when one player walks away and another player is still close by.

Your friends now see the line when you log in.

If a trade offer is refused, the trade now ends for both players with a clear message.

System messages now also show in the Chat tab.

New installs of the game now start with the sound on.

We also corrected a few words in the English quest text.

Start the launcher to get the update. If it was already open, close it and open it again.

Every skill tooltip now shows a table with all of its levels: damage, chances, SP and more, one row per level. Your own level is in gold, so you can see what the next level gives you.

The text in the Skills window and the Quest Log is bigger and easier to read. The windows stay the same size. The chat tabs, the line where you type and the words you type are bigger too.

Your LP now shows as small gems right next to your name.

Prices say Zeny everywhere, with commas: 1,234 Zeny. The "Sells for" price in tooltips is no longer cut off.

When an NPC gives you four to six choices, they now show two per row, so the text is no longer cramped. The Wing of Wind menu now says Warps, and the talk window steps aside while you pick where to go.

The warning for damaged gear now sits to the right of your HP and SP bar, away from your buffs. You can move it, and the minimap, in the HUD editor.

We also fixed a few things. Quest rewards no longer run off the bottom of the Quest Log. The breath bar no longer shows a black box behind its text. Monsters in caves and other indoor maps stand on the floor again right after a server restart.

Some quests were merged into one. If you had already done the old quest, the new one skipped its item reward. You now get the item.
