iRo Valkyrie discussion

[Crow]

Apparently they are disabling (or already disabled) Assumption and SW in Nygg instance. If you are saving up pennies to buy his shadow grab, better do it now, as the price is likely to increase.

I read in someones signature on iRO Wiki forums ( so it's not classified ) that Renewal is coming out this September.

Also: Assumptio is again avaible at Nyggs instance.

The news say, that they have fixed KvM timer on Valk. This means, that getting gear from KvM will now get much harder - you must wait 5 minutes before reentering KvM...

Apparently people on Ymir have found a way around that, but I don't know what is it yet.

Relogging or leaving/re-entering the town or something maybe?

The news are that they added slotted elven ears to iRo server files. kRo already has an event to create them and it is expected to come to iRo soon too. So ... yeh, don't but 6 bil slotted sunnies.

Today, there was a live stream by Gravity which included Q&A about Ragnarok Online.
Here's a copied post from iRO wiki forums about a few things:

Notes from UStream:
A. Renewal is coming in weeks to months.
B. The base normal RCX is legal but not all add-ins are legal.
C. euRO at this time will not be able to merge characters and items to iRO, there may be an announcement if Gravity Inc. makes a deal.
D. Mail is still screwed.
E. Account bound items will not be able to be transfered between linked Warpportal accounts.
F. KVM is being farmed for points, will likely be changed to a system where it is only open at certain times instead of on cool down.
G. New hairstyles are possible mail in pics.
H. MVP Cards can't get names like God Equips.

I was wondering if other then ET runs we would be able to do the other instances - Sealed Shrine and Nyddhog (sp?) Lair. It seems however, that majority of people (at least those who post on Youtube) just kill them with shield reflect. In a meantime however I found a vid of killing Thanatos in a 'normal' way.

Other then a fact that he is hard to tank he seems pretty doable. Note that they do it with only one HP and a hwiz which SWs the tank. BSB that drops from him at 5% rate is worth almost 150 mil and Morrigane's Manteu (10%) is worth almost 100. In order to reach him we would however need everyone to be trans, as only trans chars are able to progress past 7th floor in his tower...

One more interesting vid to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgAPwoTIXp0

This is Doddler's guild killing Ktullanux. The interesting mechanics to observs is, that if the initial pull is done by the offtank, the adds will stay on it for entire fight (if noone attacks them). It is fairly easy for the main tank to pull the MVP of the offtank, and the entire fight is easily controlled. I think we could use this technique on some MvPs with annoying adds, especially the bio2 one.

There is supposed to be a free 200 kafra points gift for everyone who attached their Ro accuount with Warp Portal account by the next maintenance. If you have not done it yet, you could consider to do so.
