Instance Dungeons are dungeon runs that are exclusive to your party, with primary examples being Endless Tower and Nidhoggr's Nest, official instances. VividRO offers a plethora of custom instances in order to provide more challenge to the game, increase access to headgears and other equipment, and grant valuable EXP. The following instances are planned for implementation PRIOR TO OPENING, unless stated otherwise. Re-entrance will be enabled. However, the cooldown will remain.
- Niflheim Instance (difficulty: hard)
- Glast Heim Instance (difficulty: medium-hard)
- Clocktower Instance (difficulty: medium)
- Wandering Guardian Instance (difficulty: very hard; future implementation) see: here
- Voracious Okolnir (difficulty: very hard; future implementation) see: here
"Re-Renewal" refers to the process of implementing renewal content completely rebalanced for the pre-renewal experience. While renewal content has no place in a pre-renewal server, many servers make the mistake of implementing renewal-exclusive features without regards to the balance of a server. As such, monsters such as those in Scaraba Hole on many other servers posess improper stats, monster AI, and drops. VividRO will implement such content entirely from scratch, and it will be developed in order to provide some additional value to the Ragnarok experience while also including conservative custom content that aims to improve and expand on the PVM, PVP, and WoE experiences rather than alter their respective metagames for the worse. The following official RO maps/mobs are planned for implementation and full rebalancing PRIOR TO OPENING. These are open dungeons/fields and not instance (memorial) dungeons. Therefore, competition for monster spawns may exist.
- Byalan 6 (difficulty: medium)
- BiFrost (difficulty: hard)
- Scaraba Hole (difficulty: hard)
- Biolabs 4 (difficulty: very hard)
Monster Invasions will occur on separated maps three times a day, at 04:00, 12:00, and 20:00. A plethora of themed monsters will be spawned in a map, providing great EXP and access to drops, along with a small chance to gain event coins from their drops. When the invasion monsters are cleared, an MVP monster will spawn, and the player to defeat it will be rewarded with a handful of event coins. Players may join Monster Invasions using @invasion. More information will come soon!
VividRO will be providing a plethora of visual customization features in order to improve on the user experience. Whether through monster drops, the event shop, the voting shop, custom quests, and so on, VividRO will aim to constantly implement new looks for you!
