We're celebrating our third anniversary by giving 500% Experience throughout May!
Event Period: May 1 - May 31, 2016
As you have probably all heard we are celebrating the 3rd Year Anniversary of Ragnarok Online 2 and we are hard at work trying to make sure the next year is better than ever.
In the spirit of the things to come we are having a month long EXP Event. That's right, some of you may have already noticed the massive boost to EXP, but just in case you missed it.
Event Period: May 1 - May 28, 2016
Each week, a theme will be revealed. You will need to search for things in the game that follow this theme, take a screenshot of it, and submit a forum PM to Vmod Salsa. At the end of the week, the screenshots will be collected and judged against each other. The more unqiue the item, the more points you get! Once judging is done, all screenshots will be posted along with their scores!
Rewards
"This sounds like a lot of work! What's in it for me?"
Rewards will be decided by a scale system based on uniqueness of object found. A perfect score would be a 5. For each extra person who also submits that item, each person receives 1 less point:
- 1 person: 5 points each
- 2 people: 4 points each
- 3 people: 3 points each
- 4 people: 2 points each
- 5 people: 1 points each
- 6+ people: 0 points each
Points can be redeemed for prizes in a way similar to Trivia. Please see the chart below:

Rune-Midgarts Tourism Guidebook
Event Period: May 6 - May 31, 2016
Do you have a location in Ragnarok 2 that you absolutely love? Or maybe you have a type of location that you love, which are in different actual locations. Either way, the Prontera Travel Agency is looking for volunteers to write guides for their new Tourism Guidebook. They will, of course, reward those who provide usable guides. But more about that later.
What we need is a guide for a specific location that you really enjoy visiting. We need you to show us (with screenshots) and tell us (in writing) why you love it so much. If you have several locations you like that follow a theme (forests, rivers, towns, so on), you can write a guide like that instead.
The Prontera Travel Agency has prepared some examples for you to view, so you can see what we're looking for.
Rewards
- There will be 4 Grand Prize winners. From each category, there will be one (1) each: "Best Guide" and "Staff Favorite". We will pick "Best Guide" based on presentation of screenshots and writing. "Staff Favorite" will be the guide we like best out of the remaining entries.
- Grand Prize winners will get a Permanent Mount of your choice
- All quality entries will receive Cheny's Sunshine Box

She wants to create the best comprehensive compendium of knowledge Midgard has ever seen!
And she needs your help to do it!
Starting today all Midgardians are urged to give a helping hand in creating this wonderful book. Don't worry it isn't all on charity.
Gretel has collections of completed DNA and Random DNA Boxes that she will be happy to give away for your contributions.
