[Renewal] New Training Grounds!
8/19/2013

New players to Ragnarok online get a new novice training area!

In the last 10 years+, Ragnarok Online has grown by leaps and bounds with new systems, classes and features being introduced. The problem is, that in many cases these systems had little documentation-the community was responsible for finding things out on their own, and new players had little idea on how to how these things worked without visiting a fansite.

This update makes some important improvements to the way that new characters begin their RO journey, with more story and useful tutorials on subjects like crafting food, pets and quest skills.

Now, novice characters start out on a ship bound for Izlude. Instead of being dropped into the training grounds, they begin in the actual city, which has been expanded with the new Criatura Academy, designed to help train new players in getting started in Rune Midgards.

The first NPCs you encounter teach the player about the new Navigation system
The tutorial also introduces players to systems like Class Quest skills

The Criatura academy has classes available for novices, but all adventurers are welcome to participate in the tutorials available inside. By speaking with the 1st class guides, you can receive a class manual that will allow novices to train using some basic 1st class skills. Make sure to speak to as many trainers as possible to obtain bonus exp, items and pets!
