==Expanded Storage==
 
−
 
−
Kafra can store up to 5000 items! Furthermore, you have access to [[Guild_Storage | Guild Storage]] without owning a Castle (at a very minor quest/fee), so you can easily use personal guilds for easy transfer between various accounts, including ones with your friends.

==[[Styla|Class Costumes]]==
 
−
 
−
Once you have transed, or is an extended class member, you can talk to [[Styla]] in Prontera to apply class costumes so that you can look like other classes!

==[[Equipment Loadout and Gearsets]]==
 
−
 
−
You can save different equipment sets as loadout and swap between them back and forth easily. For information on how to use this system, click on the link above.

−
==Improved Elunium/Oridecon==
 
−
 
−
2 new items are added: [https://db.hero-server.xyz/item-search/Rough_Enriched_Elunium Rough Enriched Elunium] and [https://db.hero-server.xyz/item-search/Rough_Enriched_Oridecon Rough Enriched Oridecon].<br>
 
−
 
−
To obtain these items, all you have to do is hunt for Elunium and Oridecon normally! When a monster drops an Oridecon or Elunium, there is a (normal card rate) chance for the Elunium/Oridecon to morph into an Enriched Elunium/Enriched Oridecon! And there is a (normal card rate x 9) chance for the Elunium/Oridecon to morph into a Rough Enriched Elunium/Rough Enriched Oridecon, respectively. This chance also applies to Elunium/Oridecon from Steal, and MVP Drops as well. However, this does not apply to Elunium or Oridecon obtained as quest rewards, or when you get it from a container item, such as Old Blue Box or an Elunium Box/Oridecon Box.<br>
 
−
 
−
The blacksmith skill "Ore Discovery" will also have a slim chance to obtain these ores, at an equivalent rate to discovering Emperium.<br>
 
−
 
−
These new items are tradeable. 10 Rough Enriched Elunium Ore + 100,000z can be refined into 1 Enriched Elunium, and 10 Rough Enriched Oridecon Ore + 100,000z can be refined into 1 Enriched Oridecon. You can trade for them at the usual NPC who changes your Rough Elunium and Rough Oridecon into Elunium and Oridecon.
 
−
 
−
==Multiple Drops for Common Items From Harder Enemies==
 
−
 
−
Items that are constantly needed in bulk are changed in heRO to drop more often, or drop in multiples. These boxes often scale with monster difficulty so that stronger players don't need to stick to lower level spots to obtain some of these items like a traditional server. This applies to herbs, Elunium, Oridecon, Steel, Witch Starsand and more.

==[[Restock]]==
 
−
[[Restock]] can be setup to automatically stock up on items of your choice at spawn points and near any kafras, so that you can restock your fly wings, butterfly wings, ammos and catalyst items automatically. It can also be used to automatically store any items except for gears that you have equipped, or gears that you have as your Favorites. See the linked page on how to setup your restock.

−
==Auto Feeding==
 
−
 
−
Pets and Homunculus have auto feed enabled. As long as you have the correct food in your inventory, they will consume it accordingly when their hunger bar reaches red.
 
−
 
−
==Brewing Room==
 
−
 
−
[[Faeheim_Crafter's_Guild|Crafter's Guild]] provides many NPCs that can provide brewing-related buffs within the area. This should drastically reduce the need of a "brewing party" so that if you can assemble your guild, you can spend the time to go do fun activities and instances instead of brewing.

heRO is a private 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 along with many quality of life improvements.

Game Mode

  • Pre-Renewal
  • Renewal content (defined as all content after Satan Morroc) is customized for Pre-Renewal mechanics and gameplay
  • Heavily customized official content + original content

Server Rates

Regarding Exp 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.

  • Some regular monsters have spawn delay changes as we believe that timegating should be kept to a minimum, and player should be able to play the game whenever they want. Please refer to this changelog post for details

Regarding Drop Rates

  • 5x Item Drop Rate
  • 5x War of Emperium Treasure Chest Drop Rate
  • 5x Skill Drop Rate (Blacksmith's Finding Ore, etc.)
  • 5x Item-Granted Drop Rate (Mimic Card, etc.)
  • 10x Card Drop Rate
  • 5x MVP Card Drop Rate

Although heRO operates at a 5x 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 0.5% if the monster is considered soloable without too much gears, or 0.75-1% 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 1.5% to 5% such that factoring in party share, each player will see items in 0.5% to 1% 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. These items may also drop in form of boxes so that killing some monsters may drop multiple of these highly in-demand items.

Please refer to the Quality of Life section below for more details.

  • 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.
