Three games, one lineage

Return to Morroc aims to bring the best action with a refined take on the classic experience. The project aims to bring a familiar world to a new concept.

EVERY SINGLE PART of the gameplay was remade. Classes, Monsters, Equipment,Cards, Fields, Dungeons, Cities, Lore... The entire world is now a new experience, ready to be explored and conquered. The main focus of the Project is to:

• Provide Players with new tools, in the way of new jobs.
• Provide both classic content in a fully remade way, and new content with the same quality as the original, or better .
• Follow the lore as close as possible, while expanding it with a new twist.
• Expand the world of the now called New-Midgard .
• Remove all instances from the gameplay loop, ensuring all maps are part of a living world, Instances are only available in the Main Story Quest and some Job Quests.
• Provide a new, engaging gameplay loop, where skills in combat take a bigger part. Combos, rotations, dodging monster spells, moving around, all part of the fight.
• Bring modern design ideas to a more mature public, ensuring any play session, no matter how short, can provide a sense of progression.
• Rework the combat system so numbers actually mean something, builds can be tailor-made to the individual detail. Stats have been reworked for a better curve.

Server Information

The entire game progression was remade. Return to Morroc doesn't follow the original exp table, drop rates or anything else. Every part of the game was tailor-made for the player who wants a new, quality experience:

The Server is designed as a low-rate with mid-rate quality of life features.

Character Stats

The stats have been fully reworked. You no longer require 2 points per stat with an increasing cost every 10 points:

We also kept the great pre-modern Breakpoints ! However, added in a linear growth, so players can get small, extra bonuses when they have multiples of 10 in a given stat.

Another thing is that the behavior of the status have also been adjusted:

Besides the above points. Most skills now have a Stat-based scaling added to them!

See also: Stat Changes

• Any stat up to 49 costs 1 point.
• Any stat from 50 to 98 costs 2 point.
• getting 99 in a single stat costs 3 points. This is because some equipment have bonuses for having 99 in a specific stat.
• Strength grants more weight limit per point.
• Agility scales better with attack speed at higher amounts.
• Intelligence has a higher influence on SP regeneration.
• Dexterity has a better effect on cast time.
• Luck affects more status resistances.

Combat Mechanics

Combat in Return to Morroc is completely different from the original game. The main features available are:

See also: Regions and Dungeons

• Shadow System : Dying in a dungeon is always tense, dying brings a Shadow to life that will try to kill your party members...But can also resurrect you if they are brave and fight back!
• Skill based combat: SP Regen speed is drastically increased, SP is no longer a resource you exhaust and wait: it's something you control the constant use.
• Combo Skills: Some skills now have special interactions when used right after another different skill. This can be extra hits or increased damage.
• Skill Rotations: Skills no longer are spammed (with exceptions) and require rotating different cooldowns and skills in order to get maximum efficiency.
• Monster Mechanics: You are required to dodge the skills used by monsters, or take a heavy hit. Move away from cast area, hide from targeted hits, run behind cover, dynamic combat situations with monsters who might assist one another, trap you with a curved ice wall, lock you in place or punish heavy mobbing overall.
• Massively decreased numbers. Gone are the days of the barrage of 100k+ hits of the modern version. Gone are the cheap one shot mechanics of MVPs.
• Ranking System : Dungeons have difficulty tiers with differences based on what to expect, from E to S . Anything can be done solo with enough preparation and equipment.
• Small bonus experience for fighting monsters above your level. Harsh penalties for monsters under your level, moving on and seeking new challenges is always needed.

New Items

Every single piece of equipment is custom made. With over 1500 items the variety of builds is massive and allows you to handcraft a character exactly as you wish:

• NPC Equipment no longer are useless, they have unique bonuses. Field monsters drop those with extra slots and Random Options .
• All items (except some headgears) drop with Random Options .

• Kafra Elixir : A limited consumable that can be refilled for free at any Kafra NPC, ready to be used under difficult situations as an extra survival tool.
• New Weapons: Scythes , Decks , Long Weapons.

• Unique Bonuses that affect skills in unique ways, bouncing skills, repeating skills, specific autocasts, leeching and much more!

Refining

A fair Refine System that respects your time and your belongings.

No longer refining needs to be a moment where you can lose hours or days of progress:

• Maximum refine rate is +10.
• Failure with any ore no longer breaks the item .Failure to refine will only reduce refine level by 1.
• Tier for Ores: Regular Ores for +0~+3, HD for +4~+6, Enriched for +7~+9 and the rare Jewels for +10!
• You can use a higher tier ore on a lower tier refine in order to prevent downgrades!

• Shadow Equipment Recycler to give a new chance to old items or unused stuff.

A New World to explore

The world has been expanded and revamped. There's no New World across a Dimensional Gap because the world is more than enough for a big adventure:

• Ever wanted to see where Lost storage items go to? The Abandoned Kafra Warehouse is one of many custom dungeons added.
• Or you're looking to revisit old places like the Ant Hell? Too bad, as the Insect Society Nest is a new place where both Maya and Queen Scaraba cooperate!
• Do you hate the Tatami Maze in Amatsu Dungeon ? The place has been completely reworked. Gone are most the invisible walls, a new temple is now there!
• Monsters are no simples palette swaps. They are themed, changed concepts with fresh ideas. Even on Kiel Hyre Factory , a place that fell from its peak.
• No Access quests required for dungeons.
• Old Glast Heim , Abyss Glast Heim and Present Glast Heim , all available as regular dungeons, no more instances.
• Distortion dungeons can take you years to the past like during the fall of Geffenia Antitower .
• Or years into the future during the return of the gods on the Divine Temple of Freya .
• Custom dungeons, new lore, new content for every region. Leveling is part of the journey, the game starts at Lv1!
• New MVPs like the cowardly Orphan Piamette , the mighty Scylla or the legendary Jormungandr .
• MVP Relics! No longer you need to hope to find the MVP to have a fun fight! You can farm relics in a dungeon and summon the MVP yourself! (Usual Random Spawns and Timers apply, relics are an extra!).

A New Tale to read

An Orphan might be hated by many, but destiny may smile upon the unfortunate ones.

• A brand new Main Story Quest , completely optional with unique instances, bosses and story in over 10 quests.
• A new world lore. What happened to Lighthalzen ? The Veins Incident ? What is the Nomad Village ?

In Return to Morroc, facing monsters head-on and expecting to outstat them is a BIG problem. Monsters now have different interactions and behavior and they will cause problems if you just try to ignore them.

As a side note, this acts as a basic anti-bot system...because you WILL need to move out and react.

Using Heal Lv3+ is expected from all players. Not relying on potions and items to heal. For this reason it's strongly recommended to always have a Heal Manual of any capacity in hand to improve Heal Lv available and to get basic INT for good SP Regen and Heal Power.'

It's recommended to check Stat Changes For more details on background changes.

If you approach the combat the same way you approach it on classic, you will struggle, a LOT.

Monster AI Changes

Monsters now deal very reduced auto attack damage. this is considered "Check" damage. if you can't survive this damage, it means you're not ready for this fight.

Monsters now cast skills very often.

Monsters may use skills in unexpected/forbidden ways.

All monsters can be killed with the approapriate gear. They might just need thinking about how to approach this situation.

• This doesn't apply to bosses.
• Some monsters may have their basic attacks as a mechanic itself, with quick or strong hits.
• Lower fields and low rank dungeons usually have long cast times, lower damage and more margin for error.
• Higher fields and higher rank dungeons usually have quick cast times, higher punishment for errors or straight up fail mechanics.
• A Monster might use Revelation/Ruwatch on you to block your use of hiding to dodge targeted skills.
• A Monster might use an AoE directly on you as a targeted skill instead of self to check your positioning and your party.
• A Monster might use offensive skills that you need to take advantage of to prepare for the next action, like it creating a Safety Wall and a few seconds later instantly cast a heavy hitting melee skill.

Monster Group Changes

• Regular monsters fight with direct skills and behavior. They are the common monsters found everywhere.
• Champion monsters are stronger than the other monsters of the same area and require attention to fight. They usually provide much higher EXP than usual.
• Mini-Bosses are strong monsters that usually have weaker variations of MVP's mechanics, they are a good practice method, when available, before taking on a MVP.
• MVP Bosses hit hard and have aggressive patterns, they may have specific punishment and counter skills to common tricks, They may have long casts for simple skills denoting it's not time to run, but to take advantage of it. Most MVPs don't resummon slaves, and some don't have any of them. They may also change behaviour when their HP get lower.
• Some monsters might always come in pairs or summon other unique monsters when a certain condition is met. This is very relevant for creating specific conditions, including Dracomancer's job quest.

Basic Combat Mechanics

It all depends on four factors.

1- The Enemy is a Boss. In this case, you can't directly hide from it's skills. You'll need to either survive targeted skills or find barriers/break sight line.

2- The Enemy is a Demon or Insect. In this case you can use the same strategy as bosses or wear equipment/cards that grant you perfect hiding.

3- The Enemy is anything else. Regular fightning mechanics apply.

4- The Enemy is using a special skill in an unexpected way (usually only in Rank S dungeons), the skill cannot be avoided and must be handled indirectly such as by failing a skill dodge on purpose, swapping gear or other ways.

Some Skill Types : Keep in mind some monsters are immune to Silence or Stun due to high status.

NOTE: It may be also a valid strategy to knockback monsters so their AoE around themselves don't hit you or your party.

• Targeted Cast: Just hide or break sight line. You can also silence or stun the target.
• Untargeted Cast: Usually means an AoE around self or specific skill. move away just in case.
• Small circle ground Cast: Usually means a directional skill, move out of that direction.
• Large circle ground Cast: A Large AoE on the shown Area.
• Red Squares around caster: A strong skill with unique properties. Move out.
