In the wake of the Satan Morroc disaster a dimensional rift has appeared, letting adventurers explore The New World on the other side.

Journeying to the New World

 

The Dimensional Rift was an unintended gift from Morocc to humans, and brought great change to the entire Midgard Continent. Greedy humans now want to expand their territory into the world beyond the space gap. Sharing this same goal, the three countries of the Midgard Continent have united: to conquer the otherworld.

The Recruiter for the Brave in Prontera Castle (83, 67) is looking for brave adventurers to explore the new world, code named Ash Vacuum. Speak to him

in order to prove that you are worthy to explore this brave new world.
New Maps

Five new maps are awaiting exploration in the new world. Your journey through the Dimensional Rift will bring you to the Rune Midgard Allied Forces Post. Here, you can discuss your exploration into Ash Vacuum with other people from the Rune Midgard continent. To the east are the Manuk Mountains, and to the west are the Splendide Fields.

The introduction of a new world brings new perils to be faced in the form of new monsters!

Nepenthes

 

The Nepenthes is a plant monster that makes its home in the fields of Manuk in the new world. Although it greatly resembles the Mandragora, it is much more deadly than its Rune Midgard counterpart and should be approached with caution.

Skills: Ground Attack, Energy Drain, Stop, Poison

Centipede Larva
 

The Centipede Larva is an infant centipede, barely a few days old. If left to grow, this monster can turn into a true threat.

Skills: Venomdust, Poison

Centipede
 

These giant arthropods not only have numerous legs, but also poisonous fangs that they use to hunt their prey.

Hillthrion
 

This green lion monster may look cute, but they are far more dangerous than they appear. The frozen fields of Manuk are home to these ferocious creatures.

Luciola Vespa
 

These giant wasps have a sting that rivals some of the worst monsters seen in Rune Midgard.

Skills: Teleport, Poison, Pulse Strike, Piercing Attack, Combo Attack

Pinguicula
 

Although the Pinguiculas look like children, they can be rather dangerous. Their control over plants gives them many advantages in combat.

Naga
 

Giant snake like humanoids, Nagas wield both fierce tridents and water magic to defend their territory in the Splendide fields.

Skills: Teleport, Spear Boomerang, Pierce, Brandish Spear, Provoke, Waterball

Along with other changes brought by update 13.1, two new interface changes have been added to Ragnarok Online!

Trade Window

Initiating a trade with another user will now open the new trade window.

This new detail provides greater detail and is easier to view than the previous trade window.

Skill Tree

Also with this update, a new skill tree has been implemented.

Pressing Alt+S will open up the new skill tree. Placing the cursor over a skill will list detailed information about the skill, including skill requirements and description of the skill. After distributing skill points, you can either hit Apply to confirm your skill selections, or Reset to distribute your remaining skill points again. Note that once you hit Apply, the changes will be permanent and can only be reset by using a Neuralizer.

  Clicking the "-" button on the top right of the skill window will display the classic skill window. This window can be used to assign skills from equipment to a hotkey.

The discovery of the Ash Vacuum has brought new reasons for adventurers to brave the unknown. Two new races have been discovered known only as the Laphine and the Sapha. The Laphine are a fairy-like race that live in the lush grounds west of the Expedition camp. The Sapha are a proud tribe of wood creatures that live in the barren snow grounds east of the Expedition camp. Each race has sworn to protect the World Tree Yggdrasil and have been fighting a war spanning hundreds of years.

The Rune Midgard scientists have discovered ruins in a cave west of the Expedition camp and have reason to believe that it leads to the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil. Commander Hibba Agip, leader of the Expedition, has commanded an official investigation of these ruins. Some adventurers have already tried exploring the ruins but they lack the ability to communicate with the Laphine and Sapha tribe who must have information about the ruins. There are even rumors that a dragon has been seen in the cave but none can either confirm or deny them. Are you brave enough to take on this task and venture into the unknown?

Continue the expedition of the Ash Vacuum and discover the new lands and races that await you.
