Ragnarok Frontier / Game Interface Guide

How to Arrange Setup Window
This is shown with a basic Direct3D accelleration compliant graphics card. If it is shown as blank, it might be caused by a non-compliant graphics card. . You can choose either option-No sound, 2D sound, or 3D sound. Ragnarok BGM is made using MP3 technology. So when you set up you'd better consider your sound card and CPU capacity. In case of a less than 500Mhz CPU, Ragnarok will run safely with 'no sound' only. This is the option for Sound settings. You can adjust it for lower sound quality for cards that are not powerful enough. You can use this to fix a certain crashing problem which is caused by the Voodoo series of video cards. When you use a graphic card such as i740, i810, or ATI series cards, the ground graphics may show as blank or broken. In this case, set this to unchecked and you can display the screen normally.
You can check the details of each menu by moving your cursor around on the picture to the left.

Let's Start!

When you Successfully log in to the server, You can see 5 empty slots for characters.
Choose one empty slot to make a character. In the `Make' section, you can arrange the beginning status of your character however you want. The details of each status are the following:

STR(Strength)

 Increase attack strength and the maximum weight which you can carry.

AGI(Agility)

 Increase dodge and attack speed.

VIT(Vitality)

 Increase defense rate, hit points, and HP recovery speed.

INT(Intelligence)

 Increase magical attack strength and magical defense rate.

DEX(Dexterity)

 Increase accuracy rate and weapon damage.

LUK(Luck)

 Affects critical attack rate, recovery from abnormal status, and various other things.

You can specialize your character from the very first place if you fully understand what the status points do.
Furthermore, the beginning status will very highly affect the future profession of your character.

Basic Interface

Basic Information Window

All of the important character information is shown in this window. Also, you can view particular functions from this window.

Base Level is the actual level of the character.
Job Level is the current level in your chosen profession. Every time your job level goes up, you will get one skill point.
The Gauge bar beside each Level type shows the experience % which you've gained so far. If it reaches 100%, the character will get one level up, and then the Gauge bar will reset to 0% again for the next levelup. Weight stands for 'the present weight / maximum weight '.
When the present weight is at or over 50% of the maximum weight, It will be shown in Red colour. From that moment, It is impossible to regenerate HP/SP naturally. Or when the present weight is at or over 90%, it will become impossible to attack any monsters or use any non-novice skills.
You'd better store the surplus items in Kapra's warehouse if you don't want to be killed by Monsters without even one single counteraction.

For reference, the Basic Information Window is never wiped out, and always remains as a small window.
