Gaming: kRO News - Ragnarok 11.3, Nameless
Ragnarok keeps on getting better! In kRO, they recently updated to Episode 11.3: Nameless. Yeah, I know it’s a weird name. Maybe it’s just temporary and they’ll eventually change it. This episode brings a close to the Arunafeltz patch series (11.1 Rachel, 11.2 Beinz, 11.3 Nameless). As most of you guys know, pRO is only at episode 10.4 Hugel and we’re planning on launching Rachel sometime during the third quarter. Anyway, let’s get into more details on the latest patch - 11.3 Nameless!
According to RO Future Wiki (maintained by Doddler), here are the major features of Episode 11.3 Nameless:
- The Nameless Islet, a new mysterious city.
- A new dungeon, the Cursed Abbey.
- New equipment, including 64 New Weapons and New Armors.
- New Set Equipment combos.
- Updated drops to existing monsters.
- Finalization of the Episode 11 Card Update.
- The addition of the Mercenary System.
- New illustrations for the new cards.
We will also see a new monster - Anubis! It replaces the Marduk spawn in Sphinx.
MERCENARY SYSTEM
However, the feature that will definitely change the metagame of Ragnarok would be the Mercenary system. I’ve discussed this before already in the first FGD I conducted when I got on board Level-up. Here’s the basic description I got from the RO Future Wiki Site:
The mercenary system is designed to add a new dimension to Ragnarok Online, allowing players to have an NPC henchman to fight at their side. Players will be able to support, party with and control a mercenary using an updated version of the homunculus system. Different from homunculii, any player can use mercenaries, but instead of a creature that grows alongside you, mercenaries have fixed stats based on the level of mercenary summoned. A contract is made with a mercenary and scrolls are used to call them into battle. Both homunculus and mercenary can be used by the same player.
I’ll try to post more details in the coming days with regards to the Mercenary System. For now you guys can visit the RO Future Wiki site for more details and information on how this feature works. In the coming days I’ll come out with episode briefs for 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3. Watch out for those posts.
‘Till then, Rok On!

Strange that the HP of Anubis is quite small, perhaps changes will be applied to it in the near future….anyway will be waiting for the others MVPs XD

Anubis aren’t MVP monsters. They replace the Marduks in the Sphinx map. The are Boss-flagged monsters like Bloody Knight and the Angel Monsters in Thanatos Tower but they ARE NOT MVP’s.

Anyway the mercenary thing is cool
April 15th, 2007 at 7:16 pm
Tanung lang po share ba ng base xp and job xp ung mga mercenary
April 15th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
According to doddler’s notes *Replaces Marduk Spawn in Sphinx 4f and 5f*
I think that Anubis is not an MVP rather it is a monster that has the special type “Boss” thus alice cards and abyss cards will work against Anubis.
One example is the boss type monsters in thanatos tower(Not Memory of Thanatos which is an MVP) wherein alice carded shields work against those monsters.
Looking up which exactly which one….

@Wauks
Looks like you’re enjoying what you see as you browse to the future of RO. Felt the same the first time I browsed through it the first time. From the looks of things it doesn’t look like RO will be ending anytime soon. Looks like RO and RO2 will become 2 games that will be competing with each other…
April 16th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Gravity already announced Episode 12. Imagine that…
Read the news on the link:

The Death Note (kuno…) is going to be implemented along with this patch.. :P
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:59 pm
un Death knight at Dark coLLector kaya…kelan un darating!???
April 24th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
The reason it’s called Nameless is because it’s a reference to a classic book. xD;
I hope in episode 12 we get the Death Knight and Dark Collector….
May 6th, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Anubis doesn’t even have boss mode, Doddler and me watched a video with Anubis being Silenced and TU’ed.
His exp is kinda exploitable, wonder what Gravity is thinking…
