Throughout the ages, Midgardians have held a certain fascination with Pirates, and is it any wonder why? Perhaps it is the romantic freedom of the open Seas, or the roguish grin that they do better than even the roguieish rogue. But no matter why everyone wants to be a pirate, if even a little bit!

For some reason the Kafra staff spent alot of time trying to cast many enchantments on a special Red Pirate Bandana they found on an exploration journey on the open ocean. Unfortunately the one spell they didn't put on it is one of permanence!

The special enchantments on the Red Pirate Bandana will only last until June 16, but its normal effects will stay forever!

Red Pirate Bandana

+1 Str, +1 Int Class: Upper Headgear Def: 6 Weight: 10 Job: All Level: 10 Account bound item

We hope to see many adventurers sporing the new look in their search a soothing pint of Green Grog or while they try to make a raft out of turtles while they Swashbuckle across Midgard!

The long awaited Server Transfer Service has returned! We have updated the Server Transfers to allow moving to and from all servers, as well as lowered the price significantly.

We also have updated the item and zeny allowances to be more consistent and to take the game economies into account. It is worthwhile to read the Terms of Service for the Server Transfers.

We are taking Transfer requests currently, but the services will not begin to be completed until after Maintenance on Thursday April 14th.

• To perform the server transfer, please login to the WarpPortal account.
• Click Power-Up
• Choose the Ragnarok Account you want to have the service for from the Left side List.
• Select VAS server tab, and go from there!

Thank you,
WarpPortal Team

We have updated to VIP system and Brasilis on April 6th. There are 2 options available for patching correctly.

Regardless if you have freshly installed the October 2010 client, or have been playing for quite some time and patching every week, you will have the same patch methods.

Patching using the normal Patch Client:

1. Navigate to your Ragnarok installation folder,
2. Right click on the folder and make sure "Read-Only" is UN-CHECKED, then apply.
3. Enter the folder, and right click the "renewal.exe" and choose Run as Administrator
4. The Ragnarok.exe, ragexe.exe and the data.grf should all get updated to April 6th.
5. From now on Run "Ragnarok.exe" to patch and play RO.

Key points for the auto patch method: Patch is ~24mb, permissions are tricky as you are overwriting files. If the files dates aren't updated then you are not patched!

Patching using the Manual Patch Client:

1. Download the Manual Patch to your Hard Drive.
2. Navigate to your Ragnarok installation folder,
3. Right click on the folder and make sure "Read-Only" is UN-CHECKED, then apply.
4. Extract the Manual patch into the RO installation folder, allowing it to overwrite files.
5. From now on Run "Ragnarok.exe" to patch and play RO.

Don't forget to update your shortcuts to point to the Ragnarok.exe patch launcher!

In the next week or so a freshly made client will be made available that has VIP and Brasilis included. The small patch size was the reason we didn't make a fresh client yet.
