Battleground Symphony: Decoding the Battlefield by Meer

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
