About the Author

Previously known as BlackIntels, I'm the author of this page, trying to unravel the really complex topic of PvP scene in Ragnarok Online (3rd Job WoE). On my last server (N***RO) I used to be really active in the WoE/PvP scene. During the 1 year I was being active on that server, I played around 80+ WoEs/Draft WoEs and 10.000+ Battleground Rounds mainly as Guillotine Cross. I later then started to play other MMORPG, like FINAL FANTASY XIV, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2, and other competitive games like Valorant, Dota2, Counter Strike, but I can safely say that no other competitive games nor MMORPG's PvP contents, managed to get my attention as hard as Ragnarok Online. During my era on my old server, I was a WoE Commissioner. Being a representative of my guild of 24 members, I was able to have the exclusive chat with the admin of the server. There we discuss what changes would be the best changes for the PvP Scene. I saw directly how the staff communicate to one another, and how that Commissioner chat felt really rigid and it feels like a really formal discord channel where people only talk seriously. I learnt quite a lot of stuffs during that short period I was a WoE Commissioner, as well as a lot of problems and what could've been done better.

Overview

This guide is meant to be knowledge that I would like to pass to those who really want to know how the PvP scene (3rd Job) in Ragnarok Online works, simple gearing tips, and some basic ideas.

Defensive Gears

Defensive Gears are the core ideas of how Renewal 3rd Job PvP works. Most classes have to wear Defensive Gears if they don't want to get one shot by enemy's DPS. The downside is just this build will most likely not allow you to deal any DPS at all. So the core mechanic of playing Renewal WoE is to swap between the full DPS gears and the defensive gears.

Most tank players would probably already know the idea. How defensive gears work in Ragnarok Online is always about stacking the same modifiers. Demi Human Reduction is currently the most cheapest and yet effective. There is also another build which is Medium Resist, but that build is meant to be the advanced one. I will only tackle the basic defensive gears on this section.

Weapon

Loot from Sniper Shecil (MVP)

+10% Demi Human Resist. Not every class can wear this weapon, but this is definitely best in slot for Demi Human Resist% in this weapon slot. This can also be enchanted in Malangdo to get various kind of enhancements. Most popular enchants are MDEF and Spell.

Equipment Crafting

at +7 it gives +12% Demi Human Resist and couple ASPD%. This headgear is the current best in slot as well for Demi Human Resist%. The extra ASPD% will allow you to have nice ASPD even on full reduction gears = It really helps to break Emperium.

Depending on the class you are playing these gears are really great defensive set. This is called the "WoE Set" or "Siege Set". The only problem with this set is it occupy the armor, garment and shoes slot. The armor part also requires you to have it on +9 to fully utilize its effect.

Grace Set

There are several choices to be made regarding this, but my cheapest recommendation would be Royal Guard Ring as it gives extra HP.
