Ragnarok Online 3 [Pioneer Test] Launch Notice

Dear Adventurers,

The Pioneer Test for Ragnarok Online 3 is now live!

As the game is still in development, this version does not represent the final product. Throughout this testing phase, our dev team will work hand-in-hand with adventurers like you to shape and refine the experience.

The Pioneer Test will roll out in multiple phases, each unlocking new features and gameplay content. Your feedback is crucial in helping us build the game's ultimate form together!


Test Details:

This round is Pioneer Test 01

Start Time: August 12 at 17:00 (GMT+8), available every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 17:00–22:00

Test Type: Limited / Free-to-Play / Data-Wipe Test

Regions: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines

Eligibility: Activate your account using a Friend Code. Stay tuned to our official Discord and Facebook for updates.

Download: PC only for now.

Progress Wipe: All data from Unit 01 will be reset. Future phases will require a new test client.


Test Content Highlights:

 

Seven 3rd Jobs

This phase introduces seven 3rd jobs: Rune Knight, Warlock, Ranger, Archbishop, Guillotine Cross, Mechanic, and Royal Guard. Archbishop and Royal Guard each come with two builds. You'll be able to choose your favorite one by completing a job change quest and instantly jump to level 99.


















More job builds will be added in future phases.

To support your journey, we're also enabling Card, Equipment, Remnant Echo, and more systems—these systems are still evolving, so your feedback is welcome!


Divine Realm

The limited-time 10-player dungeon [Divine Realm] opens during the test!

Deep within the Divine Realm slumbers Ilmatar, the Goddess of Creation. Adventurers will face off against four of her twelve spirits, who will unleash their wrath when disturbed.

Unlock Time: Starts with the test on August 12

Entry Requirements: Base Level 99, 6–10 players

Modes: Normal & Hard, each featuring four bosses: Este, Nessa, Irmo, and Melkor.

Each boss presents unique mechanics that will test your team's coordination.

There are first-clear rewards and personal rewards. The first-clear team will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

Each boss's first-clear reward can only be claimed once. If you clear a boss in Hard mode, you'll also receive the first-clear reward for its Normal mode counterpart. These rewards include tons of Diamonds.

Personal rewards are automatically granted after defeating a boss, consuming one reward attempt. Attempts reset daily. You'll have a chance to earn Diamonds, Epic Equipment, Lv.90 Crafting Materials, random Orange Remnant Echo, and more.

Recommended Setup:

1 Royal Guard (Tank) + 2 Archbishops (Healer) + 2 Rangers (activate Wind Walk) + 5 DPS

Normal bosses unlock on Day 1 (8/12). Hard mode Este & Nessa arrive on Day 3 (8/14), followed by hard mode Irmo & Melkor on Day 5 (8/16).


Guild League

During the Pioneer Test, Guild League battles will be held three times a week. Guilds will be matched based on their rank and go head-to-head for glory.

Schedule: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 20:00–20:30 (GMT+8)

Requirement: Must be part of a guild

Format:

The mode is divided into Main Battlefield and Sub Battlefield, but only the Main Battlefield will be available during this phase.

The Main Battlefield supports up to 40 players, with two guilds fighting for control over three Strongholds: Fire, Mountain, and Water. Ownership of each Stronghold is determined by the number of players present from each guild. You can capture or hold strongholds, or escort flags to reduce the opposing guild's points. The core strategy? Seize the flag and escort it to your own stronghold to deal a major blow to your enemy's score. Each guild begins with 3,000 points—the first to hit zero loses!

Winners of each Guild League match will receive tons of Diamonds and random card rewards based on their rank. Even in defeat, participating members will still earn a smaller amount of Diamonds and random cards.

Due to limited guild slots in this test, not all adventurers will be able to join Guild League matches. For those unable to join due to server limits or connection issues, compensation will be issued the following day if you:

- Logged in on the event day

- Didn't enter due to limited slots

- Were disconnected or affected by other issues, preventing you from completing the event


To speed things up, the Guild League will follow a fast-track format:

Tuesdays – Preliminaries | Thursdays – Semifinals | Saturdays – Finals


Battle hard—victory awaits the strongest guild!


Test Events

Community Supply Vote Begins!

To improve your experience during the Pioneer Test, Kafra Corporation is launching a weekly community supply vote event! Every week, all adventurers can vote for the item they want most from the Kafra Supply List. At the end of the vote, our lovely Kafra staff will tally the results and deliver the top-voted item to everyone the following week—completely free!
