Ragnarok Valkyire Server launches this coming Wednesday! That’s only a few nights sleep away and the entire Ragnarok Team is really excited to see it finally go live. On Monday we will be populating the Valkyrie Teaser site with more content. We’ll be posting the final server settings and the initial item mall list on the site. I’d like to take this opportunity to clarify some of the settings and correct some of the misconceptions about the Valkyrie Server. Hopefully this post will shed some more light and will give you guys a better perspective on what the environment of Valkyrie is. I’ll tackle the following issues after the jump: Rare Drops, Basic Server Settings, Card Drops, Emergency Call, and Siege Schedule.
Ragnarok Valkyrie Basic Server Settings

- Emperium Removed (sold through mall 50 PHP)

- Decreased drop rate for slotted Equipment (All slotted equips can be bought at the Mall though)
- MVP Rare Drops are RETAINED (e.g. Drake still drops Corsair, Orc Lord still drops Grand Circlet)
- More rewards for MVP player for boss hunt (not just stupid stuff like right now)
- Not all rare drops are sold at the mall (selective)

IMPORTANT NOTE: VALKYRIE SERVER OPENS WITH 3X EXP FOR THE FIRST WEEK
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: VALKYRIE SERVER IS INCLUDED FOR RPC 2008
Based on the information above – you can actually play without ever paying but it will be a little difficult. Please understand that this is a business after all and we need to strike a balance so it’s fair for both the company and the community. Besides, it’s easy to slot stuff since the Item Slot Enchant is now available at Rachel. Lastly, we’re having a lot of meetings about bot security lately. Gravity is going to give us an update early next week on what we can do again for Thor. Hopefully we can apply those settings to Valkyrie. In lieu of that, we’ll probably have to create a Midgard Police program dedicated to Valkyrie. More details on that soon.
That’s it for now. I’ll try to give a more detailed update on the Item Mall sometime this weekend. I hope you guys have a relaxing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I plan on sleeping the entire day tomorrow since I was really stressed this week from all the load at work. Valkyrie on October 10! w00t!

“Creamy Card, Peco Peco Egg, Pupa, Fabre, Drops, Chon Chon, Picky, Lunatic cards Removed (Sold through Mall)” – nagiimply ba ito na creamy card (and tele skill) can and will be available but must be bought in item mall? o_O or typo lang
Whistler on October 6, 2007
ps: viva la rogues, for we have unlimited tele capabilities! plants = 10 fly wings *wink* *wink*

OT : my msg ako sayo mr wauks sa friendster.. paki read.. asap
Kure on October 6, 2007
yung mga slotted equips at cards ba same time lahat lalabas sa item mall yun. or kunwari every week lang nadadagdagan?
tska may prices naba yung armory of the Gods?
pickey on October 6, 2007
aw pera tlga habol amp sabi wala creamy card ganun din un unang bblin ko sa cash merch ung tele amp..kala ko wala n andun p rin waaaaaaaaaaaaa money money money huwat waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yralyn on October 6, 2007
Wauks could you please clarify on the creamy card info? Sabi mo sa FAQ III tatanggalin sa game yung Creamy Card, sabay eto sabi mo ilalagay sa Armory yung Creamy Card…. ano ba talaga?
Yralyn on October 6, 2007
Add ko nga pala, are Ghostring and Angelring considered boss type? Kasi kahit tanggalin ninyo Doppel Card, Drake Card, Bapho Card, etc., problema rin kung magkarambulan mga tao sa GR para sa card niya (lalo na kung mga nagrarambulan eh mga bot…).
Kure on October 6, 2007
wag ka bumili kung ayaw mo gumastos -_-;;
Kure on October 6, 2007
cguro typo lang. tatanggalin sa drops pero di lalagay sa item mall. pero mas maganda kung ma confirm
wakoko on October 6, 2007
paki linaw po ung sa creamy card..
Shade on October 6, 2007
typo lang siguro yung creamy card. kasama siya sa REMOVED and probably would’nt be sold
Indulgence on October 6, 2007
Wauks, pa Valkyrie EB event naman kayo oh. Hehe, excited ba? Oo sobra. :heh: Thanks for the update. Hintay na lang ako ng confirmation about the Creamy Card.
Again thanks.
Sugg on October 6, 2007
Just a suggestion:
Don’t open the valkyrie server until bots have been stopped. I just had a dream, and the valkyrie server had lots of bots, and almost no people playing themselves. I don’t want this server to be bot-populated. It’s f2p, people will surely make dozens of accounts and then bot in non-pk-enabled maps. Although flywings are removed, their bots can still move around on foot.
^^
Chester on October 6, 2007
@ wauks.. plz clarify about creamy card
pickey on October 6, 2007
hindi sa pera mas mgnda ung fair lng sa laro kht libo libo p halaga ng creamy crd unfair p rin kasi ung bot tele ung pnka mlks n weapon nila ampopo first hit ng bio ung mvp sa knya n agad loot nun ab tele

^tonberry^ on October 6, 2007

“More rewards for MVP player for boss hunt (not just stupid stuff like right now”

horacio on October 6, 2007
e panu yung quest skill ng merch ,need nun ng flywing
Whistler on October 6, 2007
horacio has a point… uu nga no paano yung mga quests na need ng bwing/fly
zechs on October 6, 2007
uu nga nman!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BKIT MAWAWALA ANG CREAMY CARD??? KUNG MAY!!!! ginagwa clang midgard police sa ka anti bot !!! magtiwala na lng tau sa kanila^^
ExSummonerYuna on October 6, 2007
Sana ang gawin na lang nila sa Fly Wing & Butterfly Wing eh idisable ung effect para naman magawa pa rin yung quests na kelangan yun di ba? Pakilinaw na lang po yung sa Creamy Card. Wakokok magkano kaya boss card diyan? GTB Card = 1,000,000 RoK points. /gg
amanoma L on October 6, 2007
Suggestion lang po Sir Waukster what if mag add kaya ng image verification sa log in ng game bukod sa username and password mag add kayo ng image verification yung parang ginawa sa yahoo messenger baka effective. sa mga ayaw ng bot anu sa tingin nyo??? at sa botter naman you are the worst loser!
olympians on October 6, 2007
sir wauks magkano nmn ung mga boss cards? para nmn mapaghandaan n namin. dba sabi mo kapag binili n namin ung card samin na un forever, hindi n un mawawala sa character namin. pangit nmn kac kapag ganun sa freestyle na may expiration ang mga gamit or items. teleport removed completely right? pero pede ung creamy card right? sabi mo po sir wauks teleport skill is wala na sa mga aco or priest, hindi kaya luge cla ka kasi nga pede nmn creamy card?
weeeww on October 6, 2007
hindi ko gets ung creamy card. Pls explain hehehe
shagojyo on October 6, 2007
Ask lang po ako if creamy card will have the teleport effect? Naguguluhan ako.
Wauks on October 6, 2007
My bad sa Creamy – it won’t be sold sa item mall.
GM Tristan on October 6, 2007
Let’s have the final server settings in the official Valkyrie site na, Wauks. Even if text lang. Remember my suggestions. At least you won’t be pulling your hair with excel. *wink* *wink*

ExSummonerYuna on October 7, 2007
Sabgay nung beta hanggang Comodo days eh sobrang tipid ko nun. Inde ako gumagamit ng pots at umuupo lang at umaasa sa regen. Tapos inde rn ako gumagamit ng wings, tele, kafra tele & warp portal kasi sobrang tipid ako nun. /heh Mas challenging lang ngayon kasi kakapanibago eto ulet. Parang back in the old days tapos may PK pa. /omg
Pakilabas pa po yung ibang kulang na server mechanics ah & make sure na alang madadamay na quests sa gagawin nyo. /thx

Ragnarok Valkyrie Server Settings (All You Need To Know) | gmtristan.com on October 8, 2007
[...] Here’s a compilation of server settings from Wauk’s post. [...]
Sugg on October 8, 2007
No to bots,creamy cards, and fly wings. But butterfly wings?
The best solution is to completely stop bots.
A suggestion: organize a competition where people suggest how to stop bots, or people might as well present solutions in stopping bots. This way, you can receive help not only from your staff but also from pRO players, or non RO players as well.
Here are my suggestions:
Change server IP addresses frequently(if possible).
Implement CAPTCHAs (like the other poster here said).
Yogi on October 8, 2007
i don’t think Valkyrie will be a “botters” server. First of all, Fly Wings and Teles are disabled, it would be hard for them to run away from the MOBS and they will be easily caught by GMs. This is just my Opinion
ryuki on October 8, 2007
sana poh tanggalin na din ung mga bot…. para battle of the adiks na lang ang laban…. mas masarap kasi maglaro kung pinaghihirapan moh….
francis on October 9, 2007
for me, disabling tele skills are not the solution, i just hope if ever the bot programs will be disabled entirely, these skills and items will be available… tele skills makes life easier. parang nakakatamad tumakbo palagi. ^^
Ehrgeiz on October 10, 2007
I think wag nalang ibenta sa item mall yung boss/mini-boss cards na malaki effect sa PVP and WOE like GR and GTB..

Comedian lang on October 28, 2007
W8, pano din ung skill ng aco na tele.pano mo palalabasin ung pneuma kung walang tele, pre-requisite nya tele lvl 2 at warp portal 4.
Ibig bang sabihin wla n din skill n pneuma? o aalisin nila ang tele sa required skill? balak ko kc gumawa ng priest need ko din pneuma.
