Please note that [https://discord.com/channels/453926438555615242/1254891006164205648 Discord's report-issues] channel is utilized for players to submit issues discovered in the game. Discord posts may be more updated due to daily submissions by players.

A new client has been released for heRO, and with it come many changes. You must uninstall the old heRO and download the new client to connect to heRO. As usual, we will have the full installer, and then a BGM folder for those who care about BGM. We recommend that you continue to whitelist the new heRO directory on your Antivirus, as the heRO patcher may be identified as a virus (which is no different than the current heRO client.) This new client will not only bring lots of quality-of-life changes but also unlock a lot of further development potential for heRO. Please look forward to all the future customizations and new features that the new client will allow heRO staff team to develop and expand upon this game!

−
With the massive number of changes and improvement in quality of life, we ask everyone to please report all issues in the heRO discord if anything behaves differently compared to the old client and is not mentioned in the changelog. heRO discord will open its community thread feature for easy reporting of issues without support tickets- so you can see if another player has already reported your problem. We remind all players that if there's anything that's not mentioned in the changelog and you decide to keep a change private to your mechanical benefits, ''that will be treated as bug abuse''. It is to all players and the server's benefit to report any bugs and issues so they can be addressed swiftly.

+
−
* If the target of a spell moves out of line of sight, the spell is cancelled but you will get SP and catalyst cost refunded
+
−
* Mob pathfinding has updated according to official emulation changes, with some customization: this results in mobs' walking differently compared to the current client and they update their target finding faster. Unfortunately, this makes them scatter faster compared to heRO's old behaviour (but not immediately give up chasing a hidden Assassin either, unlike other servers). We have customized it so the mobs are more likely to stay grouped up when they are chasing a target that has disappeared so it is to the hiding player's advantage, but it is still not the same as heRO's current implication where all mobs walk to the same cell where the player is hiding and stays there for a second or two.
+
−
* Finger offensive is a single multi-hit attack (similar to Sonic Blow)
+
−
* Storm Gust knockback will follow Hercules's emulation changes instead of official's "random" Storm Gust knockback (South-west portion of Storm Gust will tend to knockback to the northeast. The edges are most likely to push things away from the Storm Gust.)
+
−
* Ice wall will follow iRO's implementation instead of Hercules or kRO's emulation when it is cast directly on a non-boss mob: the mob only leaves ice wall via the west and south. If the target of their chase is north or east of them, they will try for 220 loops in an idle mode while being allowed to use chase skills. What is the duration of 220 loops vary depending on what the monsters see as options and how fast the server processes these possibilities. If it's a boss-flag mob, the mobs will be stuck in Ice wall as if it's an ankle snare until Ice wall expires.
+
−
* Frenzy bug where Frenzy cancels all self-buffs in current heRO client should be fixed
+
−
* Miracle of the Sun, Moon and Stars have been buffed to have a 0.1% chance instead of 0.02%
+
−
* Union of the Sun, Moon and Stars no longer cost a skill point to learn it: it will appear and disappear depending on your soul link status similar to Beast Strafing
+
−
* Emergency Recall can no longer be used outside of War of Emperium
+
−
* Monsters that are invincible (such as Great Demon Baphomet and Lost Dragon) are immune to reflect or Tarot Card of Fate's fixed damage, even if the client displays that they take damage
+
−
* Pet intimacy is now also at 5x the rate for gaining intimacy, to reflect heRO's 5x exp rate

Latest revision as of 19:29, 12 March 2026

Class Rebalance

There are a few small class-rebalance changes in this patch involving Gunslinger and Alchemist.

Gunslinger Changes

  • New Divine Sphere (holy elemental Grenade sphere), Spooky Sphere (ghost elemental Grenade Sphere) and Plain Sphere (neutral elemental Grenade Sphere) are now available in any Ammo shop that sold the previous spheres
  • Magazine Dealers across Alberta, Einbroch, Izlude, Caerulia, Prontera, and Faeheim who previously created Bullet Cases and Sphere Packs will create Sphere Packs for the 3 new spheres
  • Ground Drift used with the new spheres will deal proper elemental damage corresponding to the sphere, but the debuff effect of Ground Drift will be randomly selected out of the existing effects of Poison, Knockback, Freeze, Blind and Stun. The colour of the Ground Drift bomb will appear random, but the elemental damage will be according to the sphere used for the casting, regardless of the colour.
  • The duration of Madness Canceller and Adjustment has increased to 30s respectively. SP cost has increased proportionately to 30 and 15, respectively, to match the new durations.
  • You can buy Cartridges and Sphere Packs directly for zeny at the usual NPC, at a much higher cost than buying the bullets/spheres separately and combine together

Gunslinger has been given a bit more elemental spheres to match the bullets for the sphere-using guns to have more access to different spots. The duration for the buffs is also extended for ease of use.

Gunslinger skill names have also been standardized across skill tree and item descriptions to follow eAthena translations. We will slowly roll out similar changes to the other classes to standardize items, skill names and tooltips.


Alchemist Changes (Lif)

  • Emergency Avoid has been lightly nerfed to no longer stack in speed with Nobility Mounts.

This affects mostly War of Emperium scenarios but Lif Alchemist should not have a specific advantage with Nobility Mounts to be faster than every other class. Alchemist now follows the practical speed limit cap of any other class.


High Wizard Change

  • Gravitational Field is now limited to 1 instance of cast only

Gravitational Field's issue should be fixed such that 1 single high wizard cannot crash everyone on screen through this spell. For that reason, Gravitational Field will be re-enabled for WoE. However, only 1 instance of this spell can be cast at a time, and Gravitational Field cannot stack/overlap with one another.

Monster Rebalance

The following items have their sales price modified

  • Small Bradium: sale price increased by 100%
  • White Spider Limb: sale price increased by 50%
  • Golden Feather: sale price increased by 50%
  • Angel Magic Powder: sale price increased by 20%
  • Comodo Leather: sale price increased by 50%
  • Fancy Fairy Wing: sale price increased by 25%
  • Final Rest: sale price increased by 25%
  • Eye Drops: sale price increased by 200%
  • Soft Feather: sale price increased by 300%
  • Solid Iron Piece: sale price increased by 25%
  • Rune of Darkness: sale price increased by 25%
  • Burnt Parts: sale price increased by 100%

New etc item: Deep Sea Water, now sells 2050z (before Overcharge)

  • Parus: Soft Feather drop rate increased to 100%
  • King Kray: Solid Shell replaced with Deep Sea Water at 100%
  • Siorava: Flying Fish Box replaced with Deep Sea Water at 100%
  • Sedora: Tentacle replaced with Octopus Leg at 40% and Deep Sea Water at 60%


Specific dungeons and fields that mostly favour solo target fighting have their zeny of etc item increased. We hope that will help out classes that do not have or don't rely on AoE damage on getting a bit more zeny, or for some less explored dungeons to have better etc zeny loot as well.


Bugfixes

  • Fish Bottle can be part of Buying Stalls
  • Fixed a critical bug in the Hercules emulator where Speed Potion in combination with Dec Agi, Quagmire and/or Slow Grace (but no other speed debuffs) specifically results in infinite speed
  • Fixed an issue where Monk combos when linked do not do splash damage beyond monsters on the exact same cell
  • Fixed NPC dialogue issues related to Wootan Defender, Kingvi and Goblin King regarding what they say when the MVP has not respawned yet, or if the MVP has already spawned
  • Fixed an issue with Orcus accessory combos not giving the right bonus
  • Fixed an issue where Royal Trident does not show 2 slots
  • Fixed an issue where Wootan Anklet is in armor slot instead of the intended footwear slot
  • Fixed an issue where Pet inventory stores items that should not be allowed to be stored
