Ragnarok RPG: RO classes and jobs for Valheim

Remember Prontera's crowded streets, the first time you said goodbye to your Novice, the hours spent on Poring and Fabre for one more Job Level? This mod brings that feeling to Valheim.

☕ Support on Ko-fi: the mod is free and always will be; a Red Potion keeps the updates coming.

Ragnarok RPG turns Valheim's Viking survival into the RO journey: you wake up as a Novice, earn your Job Levels by hunting, and change job at the Job Altar after Eikthyr: Swordman, Archer, Mage, Thief, Acolyte or Merchant. Spend your skill points in an RO-style skill tree, put Bash, Double Strafe, Fire Bolt or Envenom on your hotbar, and after Moder take the 2nd-job test to become a Knight, Hunter, Wizard, Assassin, Priest or Blacksmith: Bowling Bash, traps and a crow at your side, Storm Gust, Sonic Blow, Sanctuary, forging.

Skills look and sound like you remember: the effects keep RO's shapes and colours, redrawn in Valheim's style, and if you have an RO client installed, the mod can read its effect textures and skill sounds from it (see Optional: RO sounds and textures). Made for players who grew up with Ragnarok Online and miss it. Fan-made, not affiliated with Gravity; no RO game files are included.

This is an early test build. Things may break or be unbalanced: please report what feels off.

Install

With r2modman (easiest):

1. Make a new profile (or use one you play with).
2. Install the dependencies from the online list: BepInExPack_Valheim, Jotunn, SeneaL_API, SeneaL_UI.
3. Settings → Import local mod and pick this zip.
4. Start the game from r2modman (Start modded).

Manually: copy plugins/RagnarokJobs.dll into BepInEx/plugins/RagnarokJobs/ of a Valheim install that already has BepInEx, Jotunn, SeneaL API and SeneaL UI.

Multiplayer: everyone in the world (and a dedicated server, if any) needs this mod, same version.

How it works

1. You start as a Novice (no skills). Kill creatures to gain Job EXP up to Job Lv 10.
2. When Eikthyr falls, Freya's statue rises near his altar: the Job Altar. You can also build one at home with the hammer (Misc tab, near a workbench: 20 Stone, 1 Hard antler, 5 Resin). Use it (E) and pick a job. You get that job's starter weapon.
3. Each job level gives a skill point (Job Lv 50 max). The level cap rises with bosses (see Job level caps below).
4. To switch to another job later, trade your job weapon back in at a Job Altar. Levels and skills are kept per job, and Freya keeps your old weapon as it was (same wear) for when you come back. Job weapons are bound to you: nobody else can wield them, and replacing a lost one (1 Hard antler) makes any older copy crumble.
5. 2nd job: when Moder falls, a great stone Valkyrie rises near her altar. Once your 1st job is Job Lv 40+, the Valkyrie (only her; Freya's altars change jobs) offers Advance (Swordman → Knight, Archer → Hunter, Mage → Wizard, Thief → Assassin, Acolyte → Priest). You keep your weapon and all your 1st-job skills; the 2nd job levels from 1 to 50 (cap 30, then 40 after Yagluth, 50 after The Queen) with its own points. Each job level, 1st or 2nd, also adds a small job bonus (see the Status window). As a 2nd job you keep using your 1st-job skills and can still change them: each job spends only its own points. Learning a skill also learns the requirements it's missing, if you have the points, and Reset skills in the skill window gives back every point of both trees. Changed your mind? Freya's altar or the Valkyrie returns a 2nd job to its 1st job for free; your 2nd-job levels and skills are kept, and advancing again later is free. A 2nd job returns to its 1st job before changing job at Freya. Mastered jobs: the Valkyrie also switches you straight, from any job, to any job you've taken to Job Lv 50 (1st or 2nd), and to the 2nd job of any 1st job at Lv 50 (after Moder). Free, with no weapon trade-in (a missing job weapon is given). Master Swordman and Archer, and you can go Knight → Archer → Hunter → Swordman at the statue. A mastered job's bonuses stay with you in every job: a mastered Knight playing Archer keeps melee +15% and health +50, and a 1st job's bonus comes along once its 2nd job is mastered. A mastered Wizard lends Mage and Wizard levels (MATK and eitr) to any job holding a staff, a mastered Priest lends Acolyte levels (with a staff or a mace). Skills are not inherited. The Status window lists what you inherit.

Job EXP comes from kills only (bosses give none).

Once Eikthyr is defeated the world gets tougher: every creature has 1.3× health and deals 1.3× damage. From the Plains on, creatures have 2× health and resist 30% of magic. Nights are busier too: twice the Skeletons in the Black Forest and three times the Wraiths in the Swamp.

RO monsters roam among Valheim's own: Porings hop around the Meadows and Poison Spores lurk in the Black Forest.

Settings: every setting of the mod is in Ragnarok RPG on the main menu (under Start game). Server settings (in BepInEx/config/ragnarokjobs.valheim.cfg on the server; admins can also change them in game, and every player gets the server's values): [Server] MobScaling = false keeps vanilla creatures, JobExpRate multiplies the job exp from kills (default 1, from 0.1 to 10), PoringDensity and PoisonSporeDensity set how many Porings and Poison Spores roam (0 = none), RoMonsters = false turns every RO monster off, SummoningStaffs = true allows summoning staffs (off by default), and VanillaStaffAttack = true lets Valheim's attack staffs keep their own left-click (off by default).

Job level caps

Job levels are capped by world progress, so skill power keeps pace with gear. A boss kill raises the cap for everyone in the world.

Job	Start	Cap rises to	Max
Novice	10		10
1st job (Swordman, Archer, Mage, Thief, Acolyte, Merchant)	30	40 after The Elder	50 after Bonemass
2nd job (Knight, Hunter, Wizard, Assassin, Priest, Blacksmith)	30	40 after Yagluth	50 after The Queen

Bosses and dungeons

• Roaming bosses: every biome from the Black Forest to the Deep North has a boss of its own, one of Rune-Midgard's great monsters. Activity in a biome can wake it; it's announced, leaves a tomb and a map pin when it falls, and drops its own trophy and rare gear materials. Who they are is for you to find out.
• Dungeons: seven RO dungeons behind glowing stone gates (Payon Cave, Glast Heim, Geffen Dungeon, Pyramid, Cursed Abbey, Thor's Volcano, Odin's Temple). Monster packs, Dungeon Coins, a gauge that wakes the dungeon's boss, a refill every 3 days, and a mysterious merchant selling RO potions, meads and the biome's goods.

Keys

Key	What
Alt+K	Job / skill window: learn (+) or lower (−) skills, drag skills onto the skill bar
Alt+A	Status window: vitals, attack, MATK, armor, resistances, active effects
Alt+S	Keys 1–8 cast skills (press again for the next skill stack that has skills)
Alt+E	Keys 1–8 back to the item hotbar
Alt+F	Lock on / let go (see below)
Alt+L	Loot Filter: items to ignore, or to mark on the map with a sound when they drop

Rebind them in SeneaL's settings (F1) or the BepInEx config. The Job and Status tabs on SeneaL's character screen open the same windows.

Controller

With Valheim's default controller layout (turn off in the config: [Gamepad] Enabled):

Buttons	What
LT + Y X B A	Cast the 4 skills of the current page (the bar marks them Y X B A)
LT + D-pad down / up	Next / previous page: slots 1–4 and 5–8 of each skill stack
LT + RB	Dodge roll (instead of LT + B)
R3 (tap)	Lock on / let go; push the right stick twice against the aim circle's side to switch target (hold R3: radial menu, as before)
LT + R3	Sheathe / draw weapons (moved from the R3 tap)
LB + D-pad up / down	Camera zoom in / out (instead of LT + D-pad)
LB + Y / LB + X	Skill window / status window
In our windows	D-pad or left stick: move, A: press, X: clear a skill slot, B: close

Lock-on

Press Alt+F (controller: tap R3) to lock onto the enemy nearest your crosshair; press again to let go. While locked:

• the camera comes in closer and keeps turning to it; the world turns bright, pale and warm with soft amber edges (like the Witcher's senses), and the target glows red with a red circle under it;
• your mouse or right stick moves the crosshair freely within a circle around it: aim above it for an arrow's arc, or at a weak spot; arrows and spells fly where you aim, as normal;
• at the circle's edge, push twice quickly to the left or right to move the lock to the next enemy that way;
• single-target skills pick it and melee skills turn you to face it;
• it moves on to the next enemy close by when the target dies, and lets go when it's out of sight or far away;
• never on players.

Bonus: heal power, max eitr.
• Blacksmith: an axe, a mace or a sword.

Skills use RO's element table (e.g. Fire is strong against Earth and Undead, Wind against Water).

Quality of life (server settings, off by default)

[QoL] in the config, synced from the server: StackSizeMultiplier (stacks up to 5x), NoFoodDegradation, AutoStoreProduce (smelters, kilns, windmills, fermenters, beehives, cooking stations... put what they make into a nearby chest) and AutoCookFromChests (Shift + Use on a cooking station or cauldron: pick what it cooks from nearby chests). Also a craftable Raincoat (Workbench Lv 3): while you wear it you don't get Wet. Always on: a Loot Filter (Alt + L, or its tab in the character panel): ignore items so you don't pick them up, or stop them dropping for you at all, and mark rare finds on the map with a sound when they drop.

Always on: a Repair all button beside the Repair button at workbenches and forges mends every worn item that station can repair in one press.

Taming lures

Throw a lure at a tameable creature to tame it on the spot, or fail: the lure is used up either way. A throw that misses (or hits a creature it can't tame) drops the lure to pick up again. Stronger creatures resist more, each star 5% more, and a lure of a higher tier than the creature does 10% better per tier. A lure can't tame creatures of a higher tier. A creature you tame with a lure follows you at once, and every tamed creature (boars and hens too) follows or stays when you press Use on it. Crafted at the Workbench, two at a time:

Lure	Tames	Chance	Recipe
Meadow Lure (Lv 1)	Hen, Boar	90%, 50%	2 Raspberries, 1 Leather scraps
Mountain Lure (Lv 3)	Wolf	40%	2 Raw meat, 1 Freeze gland
Plains Lure (Lv 4)	Lox	30%	2 Barley, 2 Cloudberries, 2 Flax
Ashlands Lure (Lv 5)	Asksvin	20%	2 Vineberries, 2 Fiddleheads, 1 Sulfur

Optional: RO sounds and textures

Every skill comes with the mod's own sounds and effect textures, drawn after RO's. If you have a Ragnarok Online client installed, set [Sounds] RoClientFolder in BepInEx/config/ragnarokjobs.valheim.cfg to its folder (the one with data.grf): skills then play RO's own sounds, read from your client while the game runs. Also set [Textures] PreferRoTextures = true to use RO's effect textures instead of the mod's. Nothing from RO is included in this mod.

Feedback

Every report helps. Come to the Ragnarok RPG Discord and tell me what felt too strong or too weak (which job, which skill, which biome), anything that looked wrong, and attach the BepInEx/LogOutput.log file if something broke. Bugs, balance and ideas each have their own forum there, and every release is posted in #changelog.
