NPC & Quest Updates

Novice Training Grounds

NexusRO uses the classic Episode 10 Novice Training Grounds. The training is optional.

Talk to the Receptionist inside the castle and choose "Direct access to Ragnarok Online". Pick your starting city and you are warped there right away: Prontera, Morocc, Geffen, Payon, Alberta or Izlude.

The training has two parts.

1. Basic Knowledge classes

Tutors teach you the interface, skills, items and Kafra services. Most of them end with a short quiz. Every correct answer gives a little Base or Job EXP. Along the way you receive the Novice starter gear (Plate, Hood, Boots, Egg Cap), Novice Potions, Fly Wings and Butterfly Wings.

2. Field Combat Training

Talk to the Helper for battle instruction, then to Muriel at the entrance of the combat grounds. She gives you a Novice Knife, a Novice Guard, 300 Novice Potions and wings. Gain 2 base levels by hunting the weak monsters there, then pass the test with the staff in the north.

3. Personality test (optional)

At the end, Hanson gives a short personality test that suggests a first job for you. He then sends you to the guild of the job you pick and sets your save point in that town.

Tip

Try to reach Job Level 10 before you leave. You need it to change jobs.

Valkyrie Quest (Rebirth)

The weight restriction to begin Rebirth has been relaxed: you may carry up to 100 weight (vanilla requires exactly 0).

All other requirements remain unchanged.

Before speaking to the Valkyrie

You must meet all of the following or she will send you back:

  • Base Level 99 and Job Level 50
  • 0 Zeny on hand
  • Cart dismissed (Merchant classes)
  • Falcon released (Hunter classes)
  • Mount dismounted (Knight / Crusader)
  • Weight ≤ 100
  • No unspent Skill Points

Once all conditions are met, the Valkyrie performs the ceremony and reborns you as a Transcendent 1st Class character, resetting your Base and Job levels to 1.

Blackjack NPC

A fully playable Blackjack card game in the Comodo Casino (cmd_in02 188/89).

How to play:

  1. Place your bet: Wager between 1z and 1 000 000z per round.
  2. Receive your hand: Both you and the dealer are dealt 2 cards.
  3. Take your action each turn:
    • Pull: Draw another card (allowed while your total is under 21).
    • Stay: End your turn (requires at least 13 points).
    • Double Down: Double your bet and draw exactly one final card (only available at the very start of a round, before any pulls).
  4. Dealer reveals: The dealer draws until reaching 17 or more, then stays automatically.
  5. Result: Highest total without busting wins. Equal totals result in a push (no gain or loss).

Special Rules

  • Aces count as 11 or 1, adjusted automatically to avoid busting.
  • Blackjack (Ace + any 10-value card on opening hand) is an instant win.
  • Insurance and pair splitting are not available.

Same-Sex Marriage

The marriage system now allows same-sex couples. The ceremony takes place at the Prontera Church and follows the standard procedure.

Steps:

  1. Form a party of two with your partner before heading to the church.
  2. Speak to the Wedding Staff NPC (prt_church): Both partners apply individually to register intent.
  3. Speak to Bishop Vomars: The ceremony begins. Each partner confirms the other's name.
  4. Exchange rings: If both names match, the marriage is completed.

Requirements:

Role Item Required Zeny Cost
Groom Tuxedo 1 300 000z
Bride Wedding Dress 1 200 000z

Tip

A Marriage Covenant item can substitute the Zeny fee for either partner.

Jewel Case Quest

A one-time prestige quest for players approaching the end of their first life. Speak to La Fenn in Lighthalzen (lighthalzen 108/229).

Requirements to start:

  • Base Level 99
  • Normal (non-transcendent) 2nd Class job
  • At least 1 000 000 Base EXP accumulated

Steps:

  1. Talk to La Fenn: She presents a riddle: "Get younger than you are now."
  2. Accept the quest: This must be done before rebirthing.
  3. Rebirth: Complete the Valkyrie quest and become a Transcendent character.
  4. Level back to 99: Reach Base Level 99 again in your transcendent form.
  5. Return to La Fenn: She recognizes your rebirth and hands over your reward.

Reward: 💎 Jewel Case: a rare accessory box (one per character, ever).

Miss it and it's gone

If you rebirth without first accepting the quest, La Fenn will turn you away permanently. There is no second chance for that character.

Steps:

  1. Talk to her and select "Yes, it does." to begin.

  3. Review the quote: She states the total cost based on how many cards are compounded.
  4. Confirm: You must have all required materials in your inventory before proceeding.
  5. Choose your priority in case of failure:
    • Protect the item: The item survives; cards may be destroyed.
