We’re currently testing a new premium item which will be made available on all Philippine Ragnarok Online servers within the month. The item is called “Gym Pass” and you can actually use it to permanently increase your weight carrying capacity! You can buy up to 10 Gym Cards and increase your total weight capacity by 2,000. That’s like having +66 strength which is really nifty if you think about it. You can carry more potions and equipment without having to go 50%-90% overweight.
Gym Cards increase your weight capacity by 200! Maximum of 2,000.
Mechanics on how to use the Gym Card after the jump.
GYM CARD PREMIUM ITEM MECHANICS
Step 1: Use your Rok points to purchase the item Gym Membership Card Box from the Cash Seller NPC (the Valkyrie version in F2P servers).
Step 2: Open the box and you will acquire the item Gym Membership Card. You cannot use this item on your own. You will learn how to use it in the next step.
Step 3: Go to the NPC named Saint Gravity in Prontera (prontera 150 280).
Step 4: Talk to Saint Gravity and he will let you learn a new skill which will increase your weight capacity by 200.
Step 5: You can purchase additional Gym Membership Card Boxes to raise this skill up to Lv 10 for a total weight capacity increase of 2,000.
Each card will probably cost around 1,000 Rok Points. It’s pricey since this is a permanent thing for your character. It’s like you increased your STR by 66 points or you got level 20 of the Extra Weight Limit Skill of the Merchant… or you have 2 Peco Pecos. Lol.
Note that this will be patched across ALL SERVERS and not just Valkyrie.

Gamer X on November 15, 2007
dami mo satsat JCreator.. vovo nman ng build mo.. cguro ganyan kalaki str mo kaya reklamo ka dyan ng reklamo.. sarili lang iniisip mo.. dahil nalulugi ka na mey ganun pala new feature RO, dagdag wt. limit… wak kna satsat dyan…as if magaling ka magsniper…/swt manahimik ka nlnag lols
Gamer X on November 15, 2007
on topic..ok narin yang new feature keysa wala..
Zhag on November 15, 2007
wauks, sayang un mga builds na naglagay ng STR pra mkapagbitbit ng pots, tpos bigla mgkakaroon nitong gym thingy
wawa nman un nagsakripisyo ng stats malagyan lng un STR..
im not favor in this, kc sa tingin ko magiging imbalance ang RO nito
potex_99 on November 15, 2007
ANG PANGIT YAN!!!
may STR HighWiz ko!!!! ano ba yan wauks? wla na silbe build namin pag ganyan? kasi, kaya namin bumili ng maraming ganyan pra lang maperfect build namin!!!!
potex_99 on November 15, 2007
hahaha sayang tlaga.. anyway.. cge..
Brongko on November 15, 2007
pangit tlga nyan… lugi ung nag-isip ng mabuti sa build… madami ako kilala wiz,prof,sniper meron str. cguro kung alam nila na maiimplement ito, hindi na sila naglagay ng str /heh
lungkot siguro nila…
@Gamer X
sana hindi ka nlng nagsalita ng ganyan kay JCreator. kasi sigurado ako kakainin mo lahat ng sinabi mo sa kanya. /e8
Whistler on November 15, 2007
HW ko rin may str pero hindi parin sayang points ko doon may silbi rin str as a stat :p
Whistler on November 16, 2007
oh well too late to whine… item malls are implemented in major RO circles like kRO, iRO and jRO… we just follow suit… so expect such nerfs/features/headgears to be implemented also here… just like the ME nerf… and the Kasa nerf… obviously LU has eyed the gym pass as profitable because majority of RO players love WoE and/or PvP… and some or most (including me pero sa wiz lang ako) will be suckers for the gym pass… la lang random musings
JCreator on November 16, 2007
@Gamer X
edi sige wait natin magkaron ng gym pass tapos tignan natin kung mapataob mo ko hahahahaha
nagreklamo lng naman ako para sa mga taong katulad mo ^_^ panu yan pg sandamakmak na pots ng mga kalaban mo baka wala nang kwnta chracter mo lol
Beowulf on November 16, 2007
It’s a boon for my str-less chars so i’ll definitely buy at least 10 of these.
es on November 16, 2007
sino kaya nagsuggest niyang gym pass na yan
galing ng utak
business minded talaga
reikoku on November 16, 2007
wag na kayong magreklamo…. tagal na tong linabas sa kRO and kung nagbabasa kayo ng updates matagal niyo na dapat itong napaghandaan.
Gamer X on November 16, 2007
ignoy mo nman sa pvp lols.. wala yang difference kung dagdag wt limit.. mas hahaba lang panahon mo sa pvp kc malelessen ung pagbalik sa kafra para magrepots.. ang vovo mo noh.. ahahaha.. d kc yan gaya ng sniper mo tantsa tantsa lang ng bawas.. ika nga kiliti..lols..ahahahah..basta ang vovo mo tlaga..superr!!..bka iniisip mo ata 1on1 w/rules paubusan ng pots… gago kb..la nman patakaran sa pvp..tsaka wak mo feel mlakas ka…ang vovo mo nga eh..d ka nga nkakakill.. hanggang status effects ka lang..ahaha.. kala mo isa ka sa pnkmagaling na sniper… mahilig ka lang cguro tumambay ng pvp kaya lumaki ulo mo…pero la nman skills… taob lagi..ahahaha

Kure on November 16, 2007
pano pag nag transcend ka di ba maapektuhan yung weight capacity mo dyan
~~~H~~~ on November 16, 2007
sir wauks seryosohan lang po… total obyus naman na kung para san ang mga cash item e… total gagastos na rin lang kami sa load at mga cash item na yan, tell us naman po kung hanggang kailan lang ang pRO…. kasi baka after ng thousands na gastos namin e bigla lang mawala pRO tulad ng ROSE Online… and if nawala na po ba pRO ung mga accts namin maaccess pa ba namin in some way o parang nilipad na lang ng hangin kasama ng gastos namin?
yogi on November 16, 2007
haayzzz… nagbabayad ka na ng load.. tapos may mga cash items pa..
maganda sana kng mura ung cash item.. let’s say 20 each card
posporo on November 16, 2007
aus parang private server na….. galing talga ng LU sa ganito….
hahaha boring na maglaro ng RO di tulad dati…. hayz
..Natural_D.. on November 16, 2007
Almost everyone has good points.. pero reikoku is right, updates were already implemented in other countries that do have RO. I guess will just have to make new characters to perfect our builds, again. (as if naman uso pa ang manual leveling) hehe..
My advise is to “read updates”. The gym pass has existed for a while now. Double the pots, Double the fun?! Don’t be shocked if one of these days we might see the SG10 scroll in our commercial servers. Certainly more controversial than the gym pass.
There are a lot of new items around that will certainly change the aspects of the game. New cards, equipments and nerfs. Like items from Satan Morroc, the seemingly imbalanced cards like the lordknight, or assassin cross card. We’ll just have to adjust. The game certainly got interesting for everyone.
..Natural_D.. on November 16, 2007
Also according to some sites, you just have to talk to the NPC again when you transcend to regain your weight limit. Which I hope will work perfectly when it is implemented in our servers. The new God-like items kinda suck. hehe..
Cha on November 16, 2007
I was suppose to make a new High Priest Char with STR for more
pots power, well it seems that i dont need it anymore. Need to
make some few adjustments >.< Honestly i dont like it.
pickey on November 16, 2007

@ Gamer X
lol lumaban ka na lang, ikaw yung whine ng whine jan eh. yung pagwhine mo mas masahol pa sa pagwhine ko eh, insecure ka ata sakin kaya ganyan ka makapagreact sa mga post kok.
and just so you know, hinde kami nagrereklamo laban dito para sa sarili naming kapakanan. obvious naman na advanatage to kahit kanino. Ang snasabi namin, papatayin nito yung laro kase yung exciting element ng laro na paggawa ng build, hinde na masyadong pagtutuunan ng pansin ng mga tao lalo na ng mga hindi strength based kase nga may gym pass na.
click mo na lang yang name ko para mabasaa mo reaction ko sa blog ko tapos magtag ka narin sa shoutbox para naman hinde ka magmukang kaawa awang bata na whine ng whine. ikaw na nga nagsabi na vovo ako eh bkt mo pako pnagtutuunan ng pansin lol.

hakhakhak… milyones naman toh…
PHOENIX on November 16, 2007
If you simply think about the different aspects of RO, then the item itself is more of a help.
PvM, more time for leveling and not having to go to storage most of the time to get leveling items or to just avoid getting overweight.
MvP, gives you more option to bring more potion and more items to at least make your battles with the boss Monster more viable.
PvP, HW, Snipers, Dex and Int Dex Stalkers, Creators are the outright beneficiaries of this item, but I could see viable uses even for strength base characters.
WoE, well this should make it harder for defenders since attackers could bring more potion, and armors to enable them to break through the defenses. But ultimately, it should make the defenders become more strategic than just relying on camping.
jason on November 16, 2007
sir wauks mawawala ba effect nito pag nag transcendent ang isang 2nd job character ?
Wauks on November 16, 2007
Wow andami comment @_@
deranged on November 16, 2007
wauks un lng reply mo? daming comment? dami nilang pinaguusapan dun tungkol sa imbalance ng game tapos pera pera lng kyo dyan LUG, tapos reply m lng WOW ANDAMI COMMENT? awts…
Gamer X on November 16, 2007
“hinde kami nagrereklamo laban dito para sa sarili naming kapakanan” ?????????? eh d anong tawag sa mga comment mo? insightful thoughts…LOLS..sabay ako pa nagwiwine..ahahahaha…payad nga me sa gmy pass chu chu…ahahahaha..uv just proven urself na ang hina ng reading comprehension mo…mag aral ka nga ulit…db ang tatanda mo na?ahahahaha….if ganyan ka-big deal tong item na ito..cguro super vovo ng build mo tlaga…ahahaha…lan str mo?50?99? ahahahaha…FYI agen.. kelan ba nkkpatay sniper mo?… ahahahahaha…no further comment…ahahahaha
JCreator on November 16, 2007
^- Big deal dahil ang maaapektuhan ay ang buong laro at hinde lang ang mga player na TULAD KO NA MAY 40 STR.
“kelan ba nkkpatay sniper mo?”
ang dami mong comment sa sniper ko. Mashado ka atang insecure sa sniper ko lol. i can kill anyone, anytime i want hahaha. bago ka magsasalita dapat marunung ka magbackup sa mga salita mo. Tulad niyang statement mo n yan. bakit ikaw nakakapatay k ba? eh hinde mo nga pinapakilala kung sino ang totoong character mo hahahahaha.
hinde mo ako kailangang sabihan na magaral ULIT. why? kase learning is a never-ending process. kahit wala kana sa loob ng halls ng paaralan u still continue to learn.
don’t whine so much about my character while hiding behind some fake/anonymous identity. it just proves how chicken you are. bag pumutak, siguraduhin muna na may ibubuga and it seems to me na wala kang ibubuga LOL. palakas ka kase para hinde ka mainsecure sa character ko ^______^
JCreator on November 16, 2007
@ deranged
What’s with wauks’ reply? hahahahah empre may discussion din na nagaganap and some thinking inside his braing :p
Karlatan on November 16, 2007
wala namang imbalance dyan eh dahil lahat nmn pde bumili kung may str k sabi mo mas pabor din sau mas madami k madadala na pots kc may str k din unless wala kang pambli nyan =p
AAAAAAQUATOT on November 16, 2007
ANG DAMI NAMANG COMMENT NYANG JCreator NA YAN AMP ! GUSTO LANG ATA SUMIKAT NYAN DITO SA WAUKSTER EH ! DAMI SINASABI WALA KAYONG MAGAGAWA KUNG PABOR O HINDE PABOR SAINYO YAN ! GUMAWA NA LANG KAYO NG BAGO NYONG KARAKTER !
Wauks on November 16, 2007
Kaya yun yung reply ko kasi sa totoo naman – andami talaga! @_@ I’m still reading through all of them so it will take a while before I digest everything and come up with a more proper response. Seriously, there were a lot of good points raised. I’ll forward them all to the RO Team
potzkie on November 16, 2007
teka mukhang magnda nga yan,pero parang unfair pa rin,mas marami nga mabibitbit na pots,saka maganda din sa mga wiz na limited lang talga ang mabubuhat,pero pnu naman ung mga str type na,eh di lalo mahirap sila patayin sa pvp at siege,pots power to the max yun!!!tapos permanent pa,grabe mghahari lalo sinx sa pvp n2…/e5…well malakas talga sinx no doubt about that,pero sana may range pa rin,kumbaga mas malakas ang effect sa non str type na char kesa sa str type na chars ng gym pass na toh…its just my comment sana po walang sumama ang loob,peace tau!!!hehe…

garmin_ex on November 16, 2007
Business is business at ayaw namin mawala ang pRO kaya kung iimplement to ok lang. the price is reasonable but to be fair sa mga naglagay ng str stats just to gain more capacity to carry items sana mag offer na rin kayo ng stat reset item/service sa hypermart a week after.
hype on November 16, 2007
dami nga comment pnay nega naman aw!
Anna on November 17, 2007
hindi naman sa pagiging nega no. kasi kung pera lang pag-uusapan, haha. sus. hindi un prublema sa amin. syempre ang iniisip din naman namin un buong game. oo mas maangas pag marami bitbit na pots, not to mention ung mga uber heavy items like godlike equips(megs) at bloody shackle ball (atk+50). pero masyado OA yung +2000 weight. imba siya in a way (depende sa point of view mo). sana medyo kaltasan naman ng konti.
and have u also considered the possibility that dupers could really take ADVANTAGE of this? O.O
JCreator on November 17, 2007
If we weigh the pros and cons, mas mabigat ang cons nitong bagong item na ito.
Beowulf on November 17, 2007
Sana mailagay kaagad ito sa mga servers nextweek. Madami bbili neto sigurado including me. Got 3 chars that will be needing it, so P1500 0_o.
