Ragnarok Valkyrie Server - Hollgrehen’s Return
Philippine Ragnarok Online’s free-to-play server, Valkyrie, will finally have Hollgrehen back in the Prontera upgrade shop starting November 7, 2007. However, Gravity has made life harder for everyone because Hollgrehen will no longer have the safety upgrade limit. This means that your items can explode from +0 to +1 if you use normal upgrade stones. Only enriched eluniums and oridecons can assure the old safety upgrade liimts. It’s sad that we weren’t able to convince Gravity to restore the old settings but we have to move on. To soften the blow on the community, we’re permanently reducing the price of Enriched Eluniums and Enriched Oridecons in Valkyrie Server.

I’m ba-ack~
The new prices of the enriched upgrading stones after the jump.
PERMANENT PRICE CUT - VALKYRIE
Enriched Elunium: From 50 PHP to 10 PHP (200 Rok Points)
Enriched Oridecon: From 50 PHP to 5 PHP (100 Rok Points)

Suhnbi, Enriched Upgrader
Normal Eluniums and Oridecons can still be used but please note that the safety limit is no longer in play. To use the enriched upgrade stones, you can talk to Suhnbi who is also in the Prontera Upgrade area. The good thing about this is that it will be more affordable to make +8’s since the price drop is very big for Enriched Upgrade Stones. The bad thing is that if you want to be assured of a +4 armor, you’ll need to spend for Enriched Upgrade Stones as well. If you’re lucky though you can gamble using the normal Eluniums and Oridecons.

Sus naman talaga profit talaga before costumer.. Pano na yung ibang nakabili na ng normal elus at oris?
GREEDY talaga haay..
November 6th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
Guys let me clear it up again ha - we proposed that we get the safety limits back. Ayaw ng Gravity. So we have no choice but to do this. To soften the blow, we did the permanent price cut.
November 6th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Sana naman unahin nyo muna yung bots bago dyan sa upgrade na yan..
November 6th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

November 6th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

November 6th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

November 6th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
@Wauks
How about sa level 1 and 2 weapons? Do we have to use enriched ori’s for safe ups? Please clear the things, medyo kulang yun info eh. Thanks.
November 6th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
sir wauks!! wla po ba actions mgagawa ang GM sa mga BOT? obvious nmn na bot ung character ng isang player eh… iisang coordinates ginagalawan nila… dami dami dun sa byalan lvl 2 bot party pa!! yan ang may kasalanan ng delay eh pag madaling araw wla delay dahil 2log ang mga tao pero online ang bots…. pang pa delay lng yan kung may rights lng aq mang ban manghuhuli aq 24/7 eh >.
November 6th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Monitor natin tomorrow yung bots. We’re going to test one of the anti-bot things that Gravity developed. It’s not 100% sure yet if it will work pero we will try it pa rin.
November 6th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
chief mas maganda kung mag dagdag nlang kayo nang MP kesa mag rely pa dyan sa anti bot na di matapos tapos gawin ^^
November 6th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
HINDI kasalanan ng Level Up! ang nangyari kay Holl.
PAKIBASA LANG PO NG MAIGI UNG BLOG PLEASE~
*redundant na yan ah*
November 6th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Hmmm. Bakit naman ayaw ng Gravity ibalik ung safety limits?
November 6th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
sir wauks pwed mgask? pwed ba gumamit ng enriched ori ang whitesmith sa upgrade weapon skill nya? tska may safe upgrade limit ba ang whitesmith pg ordinary ori ang gagamitin? im planning kc gumawa ng whitesmith.. ty
November 6th, 2007 at 9:14 pm
mejo ok na ung ganyan para magkaalamanan na, kasi imposible naman na ganyan ka hihina at ka bagal ung mga programmers ng LU at simpleng refining lang di ma solve, ok na yang sabihin ung totoo na for profit tlga,, kung yang safe limit ng hollegren ay hndi na solve anu pa kya ung BOT? paki sbi sa kanila na obvious maxado eh… before sila tumingin sa profit i assure muna nila ung satisfaction ng customer,,
November 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
“Guys let me clear it up again ha - we proposed that we get the safety limits back. AYAW NG GRAVITY. So we have no choice but to do this. To soften the blow, we did the permanent price cut.” - Waukeen
kjvc - What part of that explanation didnt you understand? Its not LU’s decision but GRAVITY’s. Cest La Vie! Im deeply affected by this too.. I bought lotsa Oris and Elus agad on the 1st day pa lang ng Valk. /sobinezz
November 6th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
sana kasama sa drop ung mga enrich elu at ori =)
November 6th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Wauks, ung enriched ori b for any weapon lv?
November 6th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
sabi ko na nga ba.. pati ba nmn upgrades pag kakakitaan nyo?! /swt
November 6th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
pano ung mga lvl 1 at 2 weapons na phracon at emvra ung gamit? waaaaaaaaaa sasabog agad sila?
November 6th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
Wauks, pra mabawasan ung doubts namen sa anti bot program nyo i-jail nyo ung mga nag bobot sa hode map and sandman map. Sobra dami bot dun. Masydo obvious ung 2 maps n un hnd hinuhuli ung mga bot sobra dami.
Mag labas sna kyo ng sucu and incu card. thanks
November 6th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
but despite of ds things happening, maybe meron good effects na mangyayari considering the bot issue. Diba? Enrchd nlng gamtin natin. ^^
November 6th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
this…really sucks…
i bought 16 pcs of elunium thinking that the problem will be solved in the future…
…one more reason to hate valkyrie
November 6th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
OT lang, how about ung Steels and Oridecons sa item mall.. di kasi magamit Ori’s sa forging eh… and the steels, sobrang hirap. dami reklamo ng mga players OP raw price ng elementals.. eh pahirapan pag kuha ng rough ori, ores and iron. sobrang baba ng drop rate!
November 6th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
Pde pa bot muna langya kahit ako botter badtrip nrin 12k n tao anu tuh lokohan! 2 nga lang un akin dyan ampopo!!!
November 6th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
@tonberry
I’ve already tried and tested, enriched ori does work on lv 1 and 2 weapons. I got my specialty jur to +4 just now.
November 6th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Cge na waukeen ausin nyu nmn ung bot yaan mo palagi namin view e2 blog mo hahahahhaa /$
November 6th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
BASAGAN NA TOH TO THE MAX!!!!
It’s sad to hear that Gravity didn’t approve the proposal..
But it’s ok..
Worth 5 php nlng ung Enriched Oridecons while 10 php naman ung Enriched Eluniums.
Ok na rin toh..super laki ng binaba..buti pla nde pa ako bumili..
November 6th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
Thnx anyway for trying to convince gravity and we really appreciate your efforts /no1. Aus na aus exp mod n2.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Will it be the same with the phracon and emveretarcon???
November 6th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
Mukhang malabong magkaroon ng +10 set ang players ng valkyrie. Napakamalas ko pa naman mag-upgrade…nasubukan ko nang mag-basag ng 70pcs muffler sa comm’l server…2pcs +7 muffler lang nagawa ko…ang laki ng nalugi sa akin.
Pinagtataka ko ay kung bakit inabot ng halos 1 month bago i-announce na wala nang safety limit ang pag-upgrade??? Sana ay murahan pa ang E elu at E ori para marami ang ganahang magbasag ng weapons at armor. Or maglagay na rin lang ng mga over-ups sa cash merchant???
November 6th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
@wauks
Sana may sumilip ngayon, sana di laging pinagpapabukas.. Baka bukas magmanual na mga yan. /e1
sana lang kahit once a day may MP na nagchecheck sa mga famous botting haeven. Magbbigay ako ng mga maps na madaming bot:
1. Izlude - sa respawn point (halatang bot agad)
2. Byalan 1, 2, 3 - dami din dyan
3. Comodo - sa respawn point
4. Thara Frog map in comodo - uber dami bot dyan
5. Einbroch - sa respawn point - napakadami bot karamihan mage na nag-ffirst aid
6. ein_fild03 and ein_fild04 - Infested na din ng bot.. Kung di bot yung main char may mga FS bot na kasama
7. Sleepers map - yan check nyo dami din dyan
8. Wildrose map sa geffen - daming farmer dyan (Sana madetect nyo rin main account nila)
Macheck nyo yang mga maps na yan laking tulong na.. Daming mawwlang bot. Less bot = Less bug. Pansin nyo pagmadaming online laging bug yung guild,party,friend, at pm.
SANA WAG NYO BALIWALAIN TONG POST KO! THANKS ^^
November 7th, 2007 at 12:58 am
buti sa valk lang. /swt
November 7th, 2007 at 1:04 am
considering sa price ng mga ENRICHED ok naman. pero parang nawala ng silbe elu hehe at ori. pero ok din ayos yung ENRICH
November 7th, 2007 at 1:29 am
asa pa na mawawala mga bot. basta kumikita na LUG wala na papansin sa inyo. maki bot na lang kau. sayang lang effort nun mga nag lalaro talaga ng mano mano. papatay sa kanila sa PK mga lumakas at yumaman lang sa BOT. oh panu mag BOT na din aq. di naman nila binaban eh. nag submit aq ng TICKET(print screen ng mga bot)kala q
48 hrs lang tapos na. mag 2 weeks q na inaabangan aba naman. wala pa din. 4 sure wala na pake LUG kung bot ka man o hindi. kc nga KUMIKITA na sa LOAD. BTW B>p100 = 1.2m
November 7th, 2007 at 2:41 am
Make the prices even lower and it’ll be even. :P
And do something about the bot. Masyado na garapal mga botters, wala naman kayo big action na ginagawa (and I mean BIG).
November 7th, 2007 at 3:48 am
sows… npaka greedy ng LUG yung safe limits ng + d nila pde galawin pero yung price ng item mall pde…
hndi ayaw ng gravity wauks npaka greedy lng kamo ng LUG…
ayan nnmn kayo sa anti bot anti bot sa huli d rin nmn ga2na…
anti dupe script nyo asan na? may mga dupe items parin… /e5
November 7th, 2007 at 6:54 am
waaaa wawa naman me. i bought lots of enriched elu thinking na babalik sa normal price ung elow pagbalik ni hole. naku lalong bumaba pala. i have lots of elu also. sayang na sayang.
November 7th, 2007 at 8:09 am
OT… Puro kayo mga reklamo… Kung naiinis na kayo wala naman pumipilit sa inyo maglaro eh… kayo lang mga nagpupumilit sa laro na Ragnarok… (Valkyrie Server)
November 7th, 2007 at 8:13 am
Isa lang masasabi ko dito sa wala ng +4 safety limits… yung mga bumili ng mga equips with cards na walang plus kahit ano… matatakot na sila maglaho ang mga pinundar nilang gamit magpalevel lang…
November 7th, 2007 at 9:12 am
sir wauks, sory for double posting, kylangan ko lng kc ng answer, baka kc mabalewala lng pgpapalvl ko ng blacksmith ko. pwed ba gumamit ng enriched ori ang whitesmith sa upgrade weapon skill nya? tska may safe upgrade limit ba ang whitesmith pg ordinary ori ang gagamitin? im planning kc gumawa ng whitesmith.. ty
November 7th, 2007 at 10:08 am
It’s sad that after aq month of waiting this is what we receive, nasayang yung pag bli ko ng elus at oris haaay… btu anyway, will the refining cost still stay as is? I was hoping that also of maintaining the price of the enriched elus and oris the refining cost would be returned to normal (at least)
thnx!
November 7th, 2007 at 10:13 am
if there won’t be any safe upgrade limit, they should at least copy the upgrade system in PW wherein the item doesn’t get lost in a failed upgrade. nawawala lng ung pluses. since we already paid “cash” for this items and we will have to use “cash” to risk an upgrade tapos mawawala lng just like that… valkyrie is becoming less and less attractive with all these aggravated further by inaction against botting. increase MPs in hotspots. assign MPs to monitor 24/7. hire more MPs.
November 7th, 2007 at 10:28 am
I also have a follow up question… is the evil ears enabled in valkyrie? Pano po yun? pwede po bang gamitin yung satanic chain at yung elven ears from the item shop as ingredients for the evil ears po? or is it still unavailable? thnx!
November 7th, 2007 at 10:36 am
I think maganda sulusyon sa prob ntin.. is to have a new server..
gawing 2 server ang valk para di gnun ka lag dba tpos tapon nyo n ung ibang server dhil ang laki nman ng kita nyo sa Valk e.. i-merge nyo lahat ng commercial server para mabuhay ulit sila..
November 7th, 2007 at 11:44 am
@Wauk
Atleast you give your best shot!
regarding sa price, aus nga e kasi medyo unfair ung 50Pesos isa at higit sa lahat mag ka presyo pa ung Elu at Ori w/c in Ingame mas mahal dapat ang Elu. /no1
November 7th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
hahaha pineperahan n lng kau nyan!!! hahaha mas ok pa may bayad hahaha… legal pa bot tas pag snwerte ka pa mababawi mo pa ung pnangload mo!!! tsk tsk.. lkas mamera..
November 7th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
taena pag nagmerge lahat ng server patyan na to.. quit n ko tas puro item mall lang???!! watdapak!! katarantaduhan un
November 7th, 2007 at 3:12 pm

November 7th, 2007 at 3:38 pm

November 7th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
