Ragnarok Violet - Pet Monster Taming Tips / Guide

Please click on the title above^ and scroll down to the bottom of the page to post comments on this article.  Contributors will be acknowledged and their names will be displayed on the "Acknowledgments" page.  Thank you!



Pets in Ragnarok Violet are very significant to players not only because they pick the spoils of war for you and give bonuses to your characters — but more importantly, they keep you company during your adventures in this single-player RPG.  Imagine playing the game all by yourself.  If I didn't have my pets with me, I would have gone crazy!  Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!  Seriously, it would've been too boring and monotonous a game. /swt

Anyways, if you want to acquire a pet, please read the taming guide below.  If you want to check what each pet monster does for your character, please read the article Ragnarok Violet - Pet List / Guide / Database.

HOW TO TAME A MONSTER

  1. Make sure that you have a slot available in the Pet Menu.
  2. Add your taming item in your quick slot for convenience.
  3. Open your pet menu and unaccompany your current pet.  Remember, "un-accompany" not "remove"!  (Honestly, I'm not quite sure if this is necessary but I do it anyways.  I never had any success in taming a monster with one of my pets hanging around.) I have confirmed that there is no need to unaccompany your current pet.  You can still be successful even when it's active.
  4. The most important part — SAVE!  This is the single-most effective way in taming successfully.  If you fail, reload the game!  And if you're really that cheap like me, you can use 1 taming item without limit. /gg
  5. After you've saved your game, you can now approach the monster that you want to tame and activate the taming item by pressing the appropriate quick slot.  A blue circle will appear in front of Clide.  It will turn red if the monster steps on it.
  6. Ensure that the monster steps on the "taming circle".  Ranged monsters are easier to tame since they do not need to move closer to your character in a fight.  The distance of the taming circle is fixed so taming a melee monster can be a pain.  HINT: Use obstacles to control the distance between you and the monster you want to tame.  Boxes, trees, stones and cliffs will be your best friends here.
  7. Once the monster is in the taming circle, press the attack button.  Wait for about one or two seconds to see if you succeed or not.  If you fail, you can always reload the game.



Tips for Hardcore Gamers

Every pet you tame is unique — even when it's of the same monster type!  To explain this more clearly, please compare the two Poring pets below.


Poring (No. 1)
HP Recovery
Increase (+6)
STR 6
VIT 9


Poring (No. 2)
HP Recovery
Increase (+6)
AGI 9
LUK 10



Take a look at each Poring's stat bonus.  They're different from each other.  Poring No.1 is more beneficial to a STR-VIT build while Poring No. 2 is good for a AGI-LUK build.  If  you have the patience to save-and-reload, you can repeat the process until you get the pet that you desire. /gg
(I tried doing this one whole day.  If you're really that lucky, you can get it in a few minutes.)



CONQUER THE RAGNA FREAK CHALLENGE !!!

Fellow Ragna Freaks!
I have a great idea!
Post in the comments section below your best pet and explain why you think so.  BE HONEST!
I will make another page Ragna Freak - Hall of Fame to showcase the best of the best! /no1


These are the good ones that I've found so far.


Farmiliar
HP Stolen
Per Hit (+6)
STR 9
LUK10

Panzer Goblin
Upgrade Item Drop
Increase (+6%)
AGI 9
LUK 9


IMHO: I am currently aiming to tame a CRAB with max bonuses on either STR/AGI/LUK.  So far, I have not been successful. /sob

Ragnarok Violet - Recipe List / Guide / Database

Please click on the title above^ and scroll down to the bottom of the page to post comments on this article.  Contributors will be acknowledged and their names will be displayed on the "Acknowledgments" page.  Thank you!



Recipes are fun to collect and can be useful especially for quests, accumulating cards, acquiring equipment, etc.  Due to the current limitations of Ragnarok Violet, we are forced to open the in-game Recipe Menu and click on each recipe for the ingredients.  This gets rather annoying since you have to remember the exact location of the recipe that you are trying to make.  If you can't recall the column/row, then it's time for a game of hide-and-seek!  I know almost everyone has experienced this (unless you have photographic memory). /swt

For my convenience, and hopefully yours too, I have compiled a list of the recipes that I have.   And thanks to the valuable help of our friends — Lord Kaho, Tobias Boon, TBear & Porink — we have completed all recipes! /kis

Ragnarok Violet - Card List / Guide / Database

Please click on the title above^ and scroll down to the bottom of the page to post comments on this article.  Contributors will be acknowledged and their names will be displayed on the "Acknowledgments" page.  Thank you!



Cards in the new iPhone application, Ragnarok Violet, are so much different from its online counterpart, Ragnarok Online.  As I have mentioned before in my previous introductory blog — Ragnarok Violet - Database / Guide / Walkthrough ?? — RV is RO but not quite.  That's what makes this game challenging!  And one of those challenges is to search and acquire all the monster cards that are available.

Currently, I have a number of cards in my possession and I'm getting annoyed with opening my in-game card album to read the description of each card.  It is difficult to compare them as you will have to open each card "one-by-one" to see what it does.  As a solution, I have decided to create a Ragnarok Violet Card List so I can compare two or more cards at the same time.  This way, I can determine the best card to insert in my character's weapon, armor and equipment.

Thanks to the help of our friends — Mr.Tai, Jovi & Porink — who have contributed to this post, we have now completed the list!  I hope this helps everyone out there. /no1

Ragnarok Violet - Walkthrough / Guide / Database ??

Ragnarok Violet's main character, Clide,
and his girl friends, Lily and Karen.
Ragnarok  I had always been a fan of this once (and still is) popular role-playing game.  Ragnarok has been a very significant influence in my life.  (I know.  What a nerd!  Right?!)  Although I have completely stopped playing the game some 7 years ago –– because of the ridiculously increasing number of stupid bots plus the growing popularity of Warcraft’s Defense of the Ancients (DotA) –– I still occasionally reminisce of the time that I was a Level 99 hammer-wielding Blacksmith.  (Yes, I was one of those smithies who was addicted to buy-and-selling, over-upgrading weapons/armors and madly throwing away money that I’ve earned to kill other players! Oh yeah, Mammonite Power!)  Daydreaming of those good ol’ days just makes me nostalgic. /sob
Ever since I promised myself to be serious (a little bit) with life, I stopped playing MMORPGs and generally other computer games that basically consume more than 2 hours a day.  I essentially limited myself to playing “train” games.  You know –– those games that you can play and finish while you're riding the train.  Nevertheless, three days ago while I was searching the iTunes app store for free “train" game applications (Yup, I’m a cheapskate like my smithy who haggles other traders until they give in), I was astounded to see the Ragnarok Violet app on top of the free iPhone applications list.  I was amazed that there was actually such an MMORPG (or so I thought) for the iPod / iPhone / iPad!  I immediately downloaded the app and played the game with much enthusiasm.  I got so excited that I completely ignored my fiancé’s ranting about the movie that she recently watched.  (Boy, was she pissed!) /wah

I played the game for a couple of days and after reaching level 25, I realized that Ragnarok Violet was RO –– but not quite.  I'm aware that it's not online like I initially thought (A bit frustrating, I know) but that's not what I meant.  Everyone agrees that RV still has Prontera’s nostalgic theme song but what I meant by "not quite" was the game's system itself.  For example, the stat point distribution affects character stats differently.  The weapons, armor and equipment are not similar to what we were used to. The monster cards have different descriptions and bonuses.  I can go on and on.  It's just like what the reviews said.  It was Ragnarok Online "minus-and-plus" some features.  Talk about having "TWO" slots for body armor!  Yum yum...

Because of the slight mystification, I wanted to check all the equipment, cards and monsters available in RV so I can build my character efficiently.  Surprisingly, I couldn’t find a single database!  Moreover, I just found out that the app was only released a week ago!  It was quite frustrating not to find a database at first.  However, I soon realized that it's not a hindrance.  It's a challenge!  To start from scratch and find the secrets of the game.  I got even more excited!  Now, I am getting more addicted to the game….like I once were.  My only problem is that I can't really play that much since I work 10 hours a day and my fiancé nags me to death for playing the “childish” 2D game. /ag 

And she's right, this addiction is growing.  Can you call it “not addicted” if you had to hide or find an excuse just to level up your character??  At work, the game is still in my head.  I often find myself visualizing my character.  Should I put more agility or vitality?  Should I choose critical hits over accuracy?  Should I hybrid or pure-breed my character?  All those familiar questions keep on ringing in my mind.  If this was not addiction, then what is?! /swt

Frankly, I sure do hope someone will establish a database for RV.  It would be really helpful.  Who knows?!  I might even construct one myself!  …That’s if I can even get away from the clutches of my succubus! /desp


PS
Please feel free to post any comment/s below.  Or better yet!  Please post links to any useful website regarding Ragnarok Violet.  I will incorporate the links to the guide/database in this blog asap.  Many thanks! /kis
