For those who don’t know, Ragnarok Online DS has been released in Japan this week. The game is inspired by the MMORPG itself. The game features new skills as well as new jobs to boot.

To play this game, you can order from playasia.com for about $60. The game is still in Japanese though so if you like the original MMORPG, and can understand Japanese, then this game might be for you!

Lets hope that this game gets enough attention to warrant an NA and EU release.

Its been a long time since the Grand Cross Calculator was updated. Just added the following weapons into the database:

Thanks for the suggestions.

In the latest issue of Famitsu, the first few screenshots of Ragnarok Online DS has been revealed. The game is mostly a single player adventure with the option for 3 players for local mutliplayer, and it also supports playing online through Wi-fi.

Here are some screenshots and concept arts from the magazine:

What is unique to the game is that two additional job classes have been revealed: The Dark Knight and the Shaman (see pics below).

With the release of information on Ragnarok Online DS and MapleStory DS, it seems that MMO’s coming to portables are becoming a trend. The big question is: will it ever get a US release?

Abysmal Knights have always been the bane of High Wizards. Due to their Shadow 4 element and insane amount of MDEF using MATK based magic is not an option.

There are a few options on how a wizard could kill an Abysmal Knight:
1. They could spam MATK based magic with 2 digit damages
2. They could spam Magic crasher…
3. Spamming defense ignoring Gravitational Field. However, INT/DEX based builds will be left vulnerable
4. Or they could do it the old-fashion way. Slash it to death

Well, its payback time!

It as been nearly 4 months since I have started to make a very exotic high wizard build: a battle high wizard. Armed with a +8 counter dagger, everything was set in full motion.

Levelling as an INT/DEX wizard is easy. Levelling as an AGI/STR mage however is a completely different matter. The numerous EXP mods really helped a lot in making this build possible, plus the help of some friends.

Its stats are mostly pumped into AGI and STR, and relies mostly on the counter dagger for critical hits. INT, VIT and LUK are kept at 1. Almost all of the skills are either passive, or has a special effect since MATK based skills will be useless. With this kind of build, status effects are king.

Behold and be amused by this critical battle high wizard in action: Read more »
