AsiaSoft

**AsiaSoft Corporation Public Company Limited** ("Asiasoft") is a Leading Regional Online Entertainment Service Provider in Southeast Asia with a dominating market share in the region covering Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines. The company was established in Thailand in 2001 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand since 2008. The Company's affiliates are involved in international investment for online games publishing and development, as well as game portal services (www.playpark.com) and other IT related business.

## History

In 2003, AsiaSoft launched their service of Ragnarok Online for the Thailand region.

In 2012, AsiaSoft launched their service of Ragnarok Online II for the Singapore region, expanding service to the Thailand region afterwards in 2013. They eventually expanded their services to include Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

In 2014, AsiaSoft acquired Level Up! Games Inc. and launched Ragnarok Mobile from NEOCYON in Thailand.

After 2 years of service, AsiaSoft ceased Ragnarok Online II services for the Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Philippines regions and merged RO2 accounts that have opted in to move to the North America server (iRO2). RO2 services continued for the Thailand region for the next several months until the thRO2 server eventually shut down in 2015 July.

On 2016 April 1, it was announced that GRAVITY has ended their contract with AsiaSoft and so they will cease service of their Ragnarok Online servers on 2016 June 30. Thus ending 13 years of service for thRO and the end of AsiaSoft's exclusivity of Ragnarok products in their contracted regions.

## PlayPark

   PlayPark is a subsidiary company of AsiaSoft that is responsible for publishing online games. Among them were the Thailand server of *Ragnarok Online* (thRO) and the southeast Asia server for *Ragnarok Online II* (seaRO2) which serviced the Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Philippines regions. The seaRO2 server was the second RO2 server to launch following the Korean server (kRO2) in 2012.

Bash

**Bash** is a skill that increases ATK and Accuracy. It also has a chance to stun opponents once the quest skill Fatal Blow is obtained.

## Notes

* Bongun Card accessories give a chance to cast level 1 Bash on an enemy when doing a physical attack. This Bash also pushes the enemy away 5 tiles.
* Cutlus enables the use of level 5 Bash.
* The Accuracy gained is a percent of your hit rate added to your hit rate. Therefore, if you have a 67% chance of hitting a monster, level 10 Bash will give you a 100% chance of hitting them: ((50% of 67%) + 67%) or (1.5 x 67)%.
* Stun chance inceases with base level.

Formerly a Geneticist, **Biologist** is an expert in biotechnology, adding the bio-energy of plants to use in their battles. They have the ability to craft various solutions to use in combat, and capable of being a combat supporter.

On kRO, this job class is known as Biolo.

* All Classes

## Weapons

Biologists can utilize the following weapons:

## Trivia

* A biologist is a professional who has specialized knowledge in the field of biology, understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern the functioning of biological systems within fields such as health, technology and the environment. This is strange given that a geneticist is a *type* of biologist, yet the Biologist class backwardly succeeds Geneticist in Ragnarok Online.

Blacksmithing

**Blacksmithing** is a crafting system in Ragnarok Online that allows players to forge weapons. Only Blacksmith players are able to forge weapons. There are currently no plans to expand Blacksmithing to armor such as headgears and footgears.

In RO, Blacksmithing has success rates which scales with the level tier of weapons and skill level for ore processing. Typically, low level weapons have a higher success rate than high level weapons. Investing stat points into DEX and LUK will increase forging success rate in general in addition to forging equipment and job level.

When forging a weapon there are 3 available slots for modifying items. Items such as Flame Heart, Mystic Frozen, Rough Wind and Great Nature can be used to imbue the weapon with the Fire, Water, Wind and Earth properties, respectively. A weapon may only have one element at a time and using more than one elemental stone will cause the forge to fail. Slots may also be fitted with Star Crumbs.

Unlike Alchemy and Cooking, Blacksmithing can be learned instead of requiring manuals in order to forge. Simply investing points into the Blacksmith class's various passive skills will unlock the recipes.

## Processing Recipes

Processing recipes require a Mini Furnace to forge. The furnace is consumed during the forging process.

## Level 1 Weapons

Level 1 Weapons require an Iron Hammer to forge. The hammer is consumed during the forging process.

## Level 2 Weapons

Level 2 Weapons require a Golden Hammer to forge. The hammer is consumed during the forging process.

## Level 3 Weapons

Level 3 Weapons require an Oridecon Hammer to forge. The hammer is consumed during the forging process.

## Blacksmith Ranking

Blacksmith Ranking is a system exclusive to RO in which players are ranked based on who can forge the most weapons.

* Rank Point +1: For upgrading a Level 1 weapon that the player has forged to +10.
* Rank Point +10: For successfully creating a Level 3 weapon that contains 3 stones (either 2 Star Crumbs and an Elemental Stone, or three Star Crumbs).
* Rank Point +25: For upgrading a Level 2 weapon that you have forged to +10.
* Rank Point +1000: For upgrading a Level 3 weapon that you have forged to +10.

Blacksmith Ranking can be checked via usage of the "/blacksmith" command in-game. A weapon created by ranked Blacksmiths will deal an extra +10 Mastery ATK damage.

## Patches

* Patch (2019 May 08)
	+ Fixed an issue with crafted items bearing character names showing that it was changed from previous character names.
* Patch (2005 Mar. 29)
	+ Ranking system for manufacturing reputation of Merchants' secondary job class is applied.

		- Ranking POINT +1: Successfully make Level 3 weapon using three additional materials (Star/Attribute \*\*\*Stone)
		- POINT +10: +30: Refined your Level 2 weapon to +10
		- Ranking POINT +100: Refined your Level 3 weapon to +10
		- Ranking POINT +500: Level 4 Weapon weapon refining skill up to +10
		- (Whitesmith) You can always see your ranking using the /Blacksmith command, and if you use a weapon from Blacksmith/Whitesmith at +10, you will get +10 defensive nullifying damage.

Ayothaya

**Ayothaya** is linked by an ocean lane to Amatsu and Kunlun, and it was only a matter of time before it would be found by the intrepid adventurers of Rune-Midgarts. There, the explorers found a people adhering to a religion which glorifies nature and stresses harmony with the earth and its peoples.

On iRO, this place is misspelled as Ayotaya.

## Background

Rune-Midgartsians were first attracted to Ayothaya for its shrines of gold and emerald, but later found themselves charmed by the quaint houses built just above the quiet waters, and the listlessly floating fishing boats selling fruit, fish, and the deliciously unique cuisine of Ayothaya.

The Ayothayans are a devoutly religious people that believe in living peacefully with nature as well as their fellow man. It is no wonder that the Ayothayans found no trouble in accepting strangers and outside cultural influences. Many warmly welcome visitors from Rune-Midgarts.

But, despite the veneer of warmth and tranquility, there lay a dark secret amongst the residents of Ayothaya. A dreadful folk tale passed in secret from person in person. Somewhere in the ancient ruins nearby roamed a terrifying creature known to feast on Norman flesh. The whispers of this mysterious beast eventually reached the ears of adventurers from Rune-Midgarts who grew intrigued by this legend. Gradually, these adventurers became obsessed with the desire to explore these ruins and learn the truth about this legend for themselves...

## History

   After the sovereign cities of Amatsu and Kunlun were discovered, the coffers of the Rune-Midgarts Treasury began to fill as the trickle of profit from foreign commerce grew into a torrent of zeny. Rune-Midgarts' wise and benevolent ruler, King Tristan Gaebolg III, was pleased.

Recognizing the profit from exploration, King Tristan III proclaimed that pioneers that discovered previously unknown lands would be richly rewarded. While honoring those who chose to live their lives as adventurers, he also shrewdly encouraged them to seek out new lands.

One fortunate adventurer has answered the king's proclamation and discovered a new addition for the maps of Rune-Midgarts. The village of Ayothaya has been the recent subject of all the talk within the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom.

## Quests

* Holy Threads
* Tom Yum Goong

## Trivia

* Ayothaya is named after a real-life town of the same name in Thailand.

Auto Guard

*For the shield item, see Guard.*

## Notes

* Consider not using Auto Guard for running, use Endure instead. The movement delay when guarding an attack will slow you down considerably.
* If the Crusader using Auto Guard is also Sacrificing for another player, the Auto Guard protection will transfer as well to the targeted players.
* If your shield is Stripped, Auto Guard will cease to function.
* Magnum Break does not work well with this skill - it will do no damage/knockback if Auto Guard blocks an attack at the same time when Magnum Break activates its effect.

Bijou

**Bijou** is a powerful Witch with a deformed hand. She is a servant to the Valkyrie Himmelmez. She has a pet troll name Geirrod.

## Abilities

Bijou commonly uses spells based on ice jotunn against her opponents, although she can used her monstrous arm to slash at her enemies. She is naturally equipped with the Claw of the Mantis, which gives her STR + 4 and CHR - 3.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
Bijou began sacrificing her body at a young age in order to increase her powers in the occult. It appears that she and Himmelmez have been friends for a long time. She may have begun altering her body to better help her friend.

While Prontera was distracted by Himmelmez's horde of zombies, Bijou dug underneath the city's castle to retrieve the Heart of Ymir hidden within. Upon reaching the cavern, she is opposed by Iris, Fenris, and Spiegel. She easily takes out Spiegel by summoning her troll Geirrod. Iris tries to strike with her rune talismans, but Bijou quickly destroys them with ease. She manages to block Fenris's elemental forces as well. Once she saw that the two of them were not a threat, she proceeds to remove the seals that bound the Heart of Ymir to Prontera while her troll Geirrod took care of Iris and Fenris.

Bijou is surprised and upset that Iris and Fenris manage to figure out how to destroy Geirrod by targeting his nucleus. The witch strikes Iris first, angry that she had spent 3 years to create Geirrod only to have him destroyed after all that hard work. Fenris tries to save Iris, but Bijou manages to keep her at bay using ice jotunn spells.

Before Bijou could finish off Iris, Sarah appears and chastises the witch for taking so long to retrieve the Heart of Ymir. Bijou mistakenly curses out the valkyrie in her mind, which Sarah heard easily thanks to her valkyrie powers. In response, Sarah kills Bijou and takes the Heart of Ymir.

Beriel

**First Appearance** | Episode 1 (Ragnarok Online II)

**Beriel** was a famous Norman Artisan who was well-known throughout the continent. He was killed during the Day of Despair and revived as a Guardian in the Neu Age.

This character is commonly mistranslated as Veriel.

## Abilities

Beriel was originally planned to provide Artisan players with certain abilities. He was planned to significantly increase the summoner's flee rate and allows the use of exclusive skills such as "Shining Gimlet" that afflicts quick continuous damage to faraway enemies.

## Story

Beriel was the best Artisan in the entire continent. He had an undoubtedly smooth road to his future. However Jibril, an Artisan who could not surpass Beriel no matter how hard he tried, plans a terrible scheme to destroy both of Beriel's hands. Hands are the most important part of the body to an Artisan.

To bring his plan to life, Jibril fakes an accident which results in the loss of Beriel's hands. No longer able to be an Artisan without his hands, Beriel spent the rest of his days in despair, drunk and corrupted.

One day, Beriel discovers that Jibril had planned the accident that cost his hands. Unable to control his anger, Beriel murders Jibril with his favorite knife in his mouth. On that day, the Day of Despair descended upon his city.

**Auras** are visual representations of energy emanations in Ragnarok Online and Ragnarok Online II. In each game, Auras are used in different ways to build up characters.

## Ragnarok Online

In RO, Auras are used to represent max level status. The original Aura at level 99 is a cyan Aura that is condensed around the character. Characters that rebirth and reach 99 receive a violet tint to the edges of the original Aura. When the max level was changed to 150, the original Aura was changed to blue and expanded into a spherical cloud. When the max level was changed to 160, the Aura was changed from blue to yellow.

* The original max level aura in RO.
* A modified version of the original max level aura.
* The new aura for max level 150.
* The new aura for max level 160 and 175.

There are 2 chat commands that can be utilized if Auras cause performance issues:

* /aura - simplifies Auras
* /aura2 - hides Auras completely

## Ragnarok Online II

In RO2, Auras are cosmetic effects rather than representations of max level. Auras are imbued onto top armor equipment and becomes a permanent part of the armor. There is currently no way to remove an Aura from the armor once it is applied aside from using it in Transmogrification.

* The blue Aura. (Song of the Waves)
* The white Aura. (Shadow of Night)
* The red Aura. (Flame of Prayer)

Piece of Loki's Aura is required to get an Aura item, which is necessary for the Aura-imbuing process.

* Turning in 100 Piece of Loki's Aura to Cheny in Prontera will get you a Black Magic Aura item, which will give you an Aura item at random.
* Turning in 300 Piece of Loki's Aura to a Loki Merchant will allow you to choose which Aura item you want.

Once you acquire an Aura item, talk to Leprechaun next to Cheny and choose to [Invest Aura].

Armor can only be imbued with one Aura at a time. Applying a new Aura to the same armor will overwrite the previous Aura.

Bakonawa

**Bakonawa** is a vicious monster that was defeated by five Malayan warriors about a hundred years ago. One of the warriors received a dire wound on his leg, which caused Bakonawa to hunt after that warrior. Bakonawa then took the form of an old Norman lady and began spreading a story about how she loved her son and that she was unjustly killed by the Malayans' selfishness, which caused her anger and vengeance twisted her spirit into the monster known as Bakonawa.

When an adventurer uncovers the true story behind Bakonawa's manipulations, the people of Malaya set off to destroy him.

## Trivia

* Tales about the Bakunawa say that it is the cause of eclipses. During ancient times, Filipinos believe that there are seven moons created by Bathala to light up the sky. The Bakunawa, amazed by their beauty, would rise from the ocean and swallow the moons whole, angering Bathala and causing them to be mortal enemies.
* To keep the moons from completely being swallowed by the Bakunawa, ancient Filipinos would go out of their homes with pans and pots, and would make noise in order to scare the Bakunawa into spitting out the moon back into the sky. Some of the people in the villages would play soothing sounds with their musical instruments, in hopes that the dragon would fall into a deep sleep. Thus, the brave men of the village hoped that while the dragon was hypnotized by the musical sounds they could somehow slay the dragon. Although the dragon was known as a "moon eater" it was also known as a "man eater".

Bio Cannibalize

**Requirements** | Pharmacy Lv. 6

**Bio Cannibalize** summons a plant monster to a targeted cell. The plant monster will disappear after the skill's duration. Skill level affects the type of plant monster that is summoned, as well as the monster's Max HP. The caster can only summon monsters of the same type at once. At lower skill levels more monsters can be summoned at one time than at higher skill levels. Skill level 5 can only summon one monster.

On iRO, this skill is known as Summon Flora.

## Notes

* Monsters will not attack these plants.
* These plants will not attack players in PvM.
* These plants can be attacked by players, so it is generally not a good idea to use them in highly bot-infested maps.

Bank

**Bank** refers to currency storage in Ragnarok Online and Ragnarok Online II. To check your personal Bank, you simply refer to the UI display in the character's information window in RO or the menu bar in RO2.

## Ragnarok Online

In RO, each character can only hold up to 2,147,483,647 Zeny in their Bank. This is due to the game's programming only allowing the maximum number for a 32-bit unsigned integer. An in-game Bank storage was implemented in Episode 10.2 as an actual Bank in the city of Lighthalzen. This allowed players to deposit and withdraw Zeny if they reach their limits on their characters. It is unsure if the Bank storage was character-bound or account-wide, nor is it known how much the Bank storage can hold. Unfortunately, glitches with the system caused Zeny to disappear, prompting the Lighthalzen bank to be disabled indefinitely. Instead of being fixed, the Bank storage was simply abandoned by the developers. As a result, the original Bank storage system was never implemented in any other city (although buildings that would be Banks still exist).

* The original Bank button in RO.
* The current Bank button in RO.
* The Lighthalzen bank named after Zenit, a scientist that once researched where Lighthalzen stands today.
* The original Prontera bank didn't really have distinguishing designs to make it stand out from the other buildings.
* The redone Prontera bank is more recognizable as a bank.

In 2013, the character-bound Bank became linked to all other characters on the same account, allowing it to be account-wide. However, it can only hold the max amount of Zeny that a single character can hold.

## Ragnarok Online II

The personal Bank in RO2 is displayed in the game's menu bar underneath the inventory bags. It is unknown what the maximum amount of Zeny and Rupi can be stored on each character.

* The Bank display in RO2.

Blacksmithing (RO2)

**Blacksmithing** is a crafting system in Ragnarok Online II that allows players to forge weapons and armor. Only Blacksmith players are able to forge items.

In RO2, Blacksmithing has no success rates, allowing players to freely smith without worry of wasting their ingredients for nothing. Similarly to Ragnarok Online's Blacksmithing, Blacksmith players in RO2 simply need to learn a recipe and that recipe will automatically get added to their crafting window for future brewing. Blacksmithing is required to level up a Blacksmith's job level and each recipe rewards different amounts of EXP. Generally the higher level the recipe, the more EXP is given.

## Processing Recipes

Processing recipes in RO2 are recipes that don't require the purchase of vendor products such as hammers and therefore can be produced for free.

## Weapon Recipes

Weapon recipes forge weapons for the various job classes of RO2.

## Armor Recipes

Armor Recipes forge useful medium and heavy armor for other job classes.

## Tool Recipes

Tool Recipes create tools for other players to use on their equipment.

## Enhancement Recipes

Enhancement Recipes help buff the damage potential of weapons.

## More Recipes

More weapon and armor recipes can be obtained from Raid dungeons.
Bear Form

**Requirements** | Rage Smash Lv. 1

Transform into a violent Bear to increase your attack power. Return to normal form if used again.

## Patches

* Advent of Valkyrie Update (2013 Dec. 18)
	+ Bear Form no longer transforms the character into a bear. It is now a simple buff.
	+ An effect was also added that gives 10% more attack power, accuracy, and critical of all party members within 10 M for 45 seconds at a % chance when beast power is at 100
Auto Spell

**Requirements** | Free Cast Lv. 4

**Auto Spell** enables the automatic casting of spells while physically attacking enemies for Auto Spell's duration. The physical attacks with a weapon/ fist do not have to hit the target to engage the selected skill. When Auto Spell is activated, a window will appear from which you can select which skill to use when Auto Spell triggers.

Spells triggered by Auto Spell consume 2/3 of the SP used if casted normally, but the caster cannot cast skills through Auto Spell that they have not yet learned. When a new level of Auto Spell is achieved, all skills from that level and below are listed in the selection window. The skill is cast after the physical attack that activates it and is independent of the user's condition (for example, it will still activate while the user is silenced).

On iRO, this skill is localized as Hindsight.

## Notes

* The user is able to select any of the skills you have obtained from the current level available and also those of lower levels.
* The bolt skills will vary in level from level 1 to 3. The level 1 version will occur 50% of the time, level 2 35%, and level 3 at 15%.
* When the user is under the influence of a Sage Spirit soul link, the bolts will always come down at the maximum level learned by the user.
* Skills triggered by Auto Spell do not have any cast time, but do have cast delay. Cast delays, however, will not prevent bolts from being triggered via Auto Spell. As a result, it is possible to fire off bolts very quickly. The skills will all retain their special effects on their targets; Frost Diver will freeze, Fire Ball will have splash damage, etc.
* Misses anyone inside Wall of Fog.
* Can be combined with other autocast/autospell equipment; however, unlike most autocast effects, Auto Spell does not have to hit the target to trigger its effect.
* [Bug] If you do not have any skill learned you could use according to your Auto Spell level (i.e. level 1 Auto Spell supports just Napalm Beat), no popup menu will appear.
* [Bug] When you do not select any skill from the popup menu (even pressing cancel), you cannot perform any skills anymore unless you change map or relog.

## Patches

* Patch (2018 Nov. 28)
	+ The activation level is activated at half the level of the Auto Spell skill level and is no longer activated at random level values.
	+ (However, if the skill level of the selected spell is lower, it will be activated at the level learned)
	+ The probability of activating Auto Spell is changed.
	+ The types of spells that can be added depend on skill level, as shown below.
		- Level 1 ~ 3: Fire Bolt / Cold Bolt / Lightning Bolt
		- Level 4 ~ 6: Soul Strike / Fire Ball
		- Level 7 ~ 9: Earth Spike / Frost Diver
		- Level 10: Thunderstorm / Heaven's Drive
Battle Chant

**Requirements** | Demon Bane Lv. 5, Faith Lv.8

**Battle Chant** sings a hymn that has a regularly recurring chance of causing a random negative status effect on each enemy within range, as well as a regularly recurring chance of causing a random positive status effect for each party member in range. The caster's HP and SP are slowly drained while Battle Chant is active. When a Paladin uses Battle Chant, all positive and negative status effects and buffs are removed from them. Critical Wounds & Slow Casting status effects cannot be removed with Battle Chant.

## Notes

* When a Paladin is performing Battle Chant and is successfully dispelled by a Sage or Professor, the chanting stops.
* Magnetic Earth and Battle Chant does not stack like a Bard's song, and will cancel the tiles with the Battle Chant effect. However, the caster will still be immobile until the entire Battle Chant duration finishes, or if Battle Chant is manually cancelled.

Berserk Pitcher

The skill will consume 2 Berserk Potions and last 15 minutes (half the normal Berserk Potion duration), but can be used on any character, even ones that aren't originally capable of using Berserk Potion (i.e. Hunter, Assassin, Super Novice, etc.)

On iRO, this skill is localized as Aid Berserk Potion.

## Notes

* Possible bug: This skill can currently be used on anyone regardless of level and will consume Berserk Potion, however the ASPD bonus will not be granted for characters below level 85.

Assassins of the Cross

*For the Rebirth Class job from Ragnarok Online, see Assassin Cross.*

**Assassins of the Cross** are elite members of the Assassins Guild. Only seven elite assassins wear the symbol of the guillotine cross and are dispersed all over the world. No Assassin Cross knows of the other six. Of the seven, only Loki and Julianna Lucille are known of so far.

While Assassins of the Cross usually leave the Assassins Guild to operate alone, Loki is unique in that he remains with the Guild even after becoming an Assassin of the Cross.

## History

Not much is known as to when the first assassin became powerful enough to be an Assassin of the Cross. Since there are only 7 in the entire world of Midgard, it is assumed the process to become one is extremely difficult and/or complicated.

Since the number of Assassin Crosses skyrocket later on, it's speculated that the process must have been simplified significantly for so many Assassins to become so powerful. However, as the new generation of Assassin Crosses do not bear the mark of the Guillotine Cross, it is possible that the title of Assassin of the Cross is separate from the now usual Assassin Cross in that an Assassin Cross is nowhere near as powerful as a true Assassin of the Cross.

	+ Items are modified to display effects when using [Dead Branch], [Bloody Branch].

	+ Added more monsters that can be summoned through Dead Branches and Bloody Branches.
* Patch (2005 Oct. 05)
	+ Bloody Branch and Poring Box items will no longer be usable in town and indoors.
Assassin Spirit

**Assassin Spirit** imbues Assassins with the Spirit of the Assassin, giving them a special buff that lasts until the Spirit buff runs out.

## Notes

* Sonic Blow's attack power is increased by 100%, and its cast delay is reduced by half. However, this skill only gives 25% bonus damage and offers no cast delay reduction during WoE.
* Also increases SP cost by 200%, meaning it now uses 68sp for level 10 Sonic Blow.
* Contrary to normal belief, this skill does not allow you to chain Sonic Blow faster. Even though the skill's cast delay is halved, its 2-second animation delay still remains. (Similar to Arrow Vulcan). So while you can use other skills after 1 second reduced delay (example: Back Slide) you can't chain Sonic Blow again until its animation delay is over or your animation delay is interrupted.
