heRO is a private Ragnarok Online server, but it's also a great project, and we do our best to make our server a fun and enjoyable place to be for everyone. We have a plethora of custom content, which we make sure is balanced, in order to make it our own special RO world.

Game Mode

• Pre-Renewal
• Renewal content is customized for Pre-Renewal mechanics and gameplay

Server Rates

• 5x Base Experience
• 5x Job Experience
• 5x Quest Experience
• 5x Homunculus Experience

heRO also has lot of custom monsters, including options for newer players (as low as level 20) so that there are new level spots beyond the usual Spores and Wolves. Typically, custom monsters have an Exp/HP ratio of 1.6 to 1.8. Tougher monsters or high end monsters can exceed to 2 Exp/HP or higher.

• 3x Item Drop Rate

Although heRO operates at a 3x Item Drop Rate, heRO has lot of drop rate related changes to reduce frustrations or reduce the mindless repeated item grinds. heRO greatly increased rare equipment drop rate from regular monsters especially older equipment to be more reasonable by modern day standards. Most normal monsters drop their equipment at 0.3% if the monster is considered soloable without too much gears, or 0.45-0.6% for monsters that are more difficult. High end monsters or monsters in dungeons that require a party have a further multiplier for equipment drop rates so that on average, each player in a party will obey the drop rate listed above. For example, if a dungeon is expected to be done by a party of 3, monsters may have equipment drop at a rate of 0.9% to 1.8% such that factoring in party share, each player will see items in 0.3% to 0.6% drop rate again. This does not apply to monsters considered as miniboss of a dungeon, or any MVPs.

For some constant high demand small items such as White Herbs and Blue Herbs, heRO has chosen to scale up the drop rate of these items according to monster HP so that players are not stuck on low level spots that are usually chosen to farm these items. heRO wants to reward players who explore or go to more challenging locations, and the game should not be forcing you to return to older spots just to farm common items like herbs.

• Crystal Mirror has a 20% decrease in sale price. All monsters who drop Crystal Mirror, with the exception of Mavka, has a boost of their Crystal Mirror drop rate by 20% or higher to compensate.

• 3x War of Emperium Treasure Chest Drop Rate
• 3x Skill Drop Rate (Blacksmith's Finding Ore, etc.)
• 3x Item-Granted Drop Rate (Mimic Card, etc.)
• 5x Card Drop Rate
• 3x MVP Card Drop Rate

• 5x Pet Intimacy Rate
• 1x Pet Hunger Rate
• 5x Homunculus Intimacy Rate
