How the game actually works

This is the original server's own wiki, kept because it is the only surviving description of that world. The Refuge has changed a great deal of it. Where this site knows about a change it is stated above, or corrected in the text below; anything else here describes the game as it was, not as it is.

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.

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.

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.
• Base level grants more weight limit per level. STR does not raise it here, though it did on the original server.
• 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.

In Return to Morroc, elements have an impact on the gameplay but no longer are the make or break they once were. The entire elemental table was changed.

The workings of elemental damage for physical attacks (both melee and ranged) is completely changed in place of a fixed modifier, regardless of monster level.

The elements are reworked into 3 groups: Corporal Elements , Natural Elements and Special Elements

Endow Skills

Return to Morroc has very few endow skills:

The only ways other than this to get full elemental benefits is either with elemental weapons/ammo or the Elemental Focus .

• Seven Winds, Shinobi Skill, allows choosing between any non-neutral element except poison.
• Enchant Poison, Thief Skill, allows enchanting weapon with poison element and a chance to cause poison status.
• Burning Scythe, Trickster Skill, enchants the scythe with fire element and boosts fire magic power.
• In case any of these skills is used, all damage will be converted to the element, including statusATK and WeaponATK.
• You can also get elemental bonuses from some skills, such as Reaper Form making your damage Dark, or Dracomancer's dragon breath changing according to current buff activated.

Elemental Focus

Elemental Focus is a sub-system of the magic of Return to Morroc. Natural element magic (Fire/Water/Earth/Wind) can generate or consume Focus for their element.

The Stacks can be seen as elemental icons around the player.

Focus duration is 60 seconds . Using lower level magic can refresh an amount of stacks equal to that point, for example:

When a Player has 10 Stacks , they get a bonus besides skills interactions:

Some unique skills (such as Mystic's Unholy Light ) can get unique interactions according to the amount of element focus of the player.

Using a spell of a different element will change the focus to that element, losing any stacks of the previous element.

• Skills that generate focus have increasing cast times and cooldowns with higher level, but generate more stacks. Using lower level skills won't increase the stacks past their current skill level.
• Some Skills are boosted according to the current focus element and stacks amount.
• Autospell does generate stacks, either from items or skills.
• Casts Lv 10 Flaming Petals, generates 10 Fire Focus.
• Casting Lv5 Flaming Petals will renew the duration of 5 Fire Focus stacks, the remaining 5 will vanish when the timer is up.
• This can be repeated, so Spamming lower level magic after generating the Lv10 Focus to keep it up is a viable strategy.
• A good magic user will know to not drop the stacks after they are obtained by keeping the offensive and weaving different spells into the rotation.
• They get endowed with that element for duration, with full bonuses and penalties.
• They deal 10% bonus damage vs the target advantage element (Like Water Focus vs Fire Enemy, you deal 10% extra damage).
• This makes some physical builds weaving magic, even if only for the endow, a viable strategy in some cases.

Elemental Modifiers

Elements apply to final damage. If a target is Fire Lv2 for example, it'll receive 125% damage from any source.

Contrary to the modern version, Elemental endows apply to the entire attack damage on Return to Morroc, not just to weaponATK.

Element Levels

Damage bonus/penalty according to elements has been changed.

Instead of varied amounts of bonuses vs elements, they have fixed amounts up to Lv3.

Lv4 monsters require specific approaches to fight, specially if they are Holy/Dark.

Corporal Elements

The 4 Corporal Elements are: Neutral , Ghost , Undead and Poison .

• Neutral has no interaction with Undead, is weak vs Ghost and Poison. Neutral has no bonus damage vs anything.
• Poison is strong vs Neutral, weak vs Ghost and Undead.
• Ghost is opposed to Undead, meaning both are strong vs each other. Also is strong vs Poison and Neutral.
• Undead is opposed to Ghost, meaning both are strong vs each other. Also is strong vs Poison.

Natural Elements

The 4 Natural Elements are: Fire , Water , Wind and Earth .

• Fire is strong vs Earth and weak vs Water. No interaction with Wind.
• Water is strong vs Fire and weak vs Wind. No interaction with Earth.
• Wind is strong vs Water and weak vs Earth. No interaction with Fire.
• Earth is strong vs Wind and weak vs Fire. No interaction with Water.

Special Elements

The 2 Special Elements are: Holy and Dark .

• Special Elements have a unique interaction with other elements:
• Holy is strong vs all 4 Corporal Elements(Neutral,Poison,Ghost,Undead). It has 10% extra damage and 10% extra resistance vs them, regardless of Level.
• Dark is strong vs all 4 Natural Elements(Fire,Water,Wind,Earth). It has 10% extra damage and 10% extra resistance vs them, regardless of Level.
• Holy and Dark are opposed to each other. They have regular damage bonus and resistance vs each other, like other elements.

Short Guide

Strongest Defensive Choice : Use same element as the attack received. If not available, use element strong vs attack received to mitigate damage.

Strongest Offensive Choice : Use element that is directly stronger vs enemy element for bonus damage.

Best Overall Use : Use holy vs corporal elements, use dark vs natural elements.

Where this site knows about a change it is stated above, or corrected in the text below; anything else here describes the game as it was, not as it is.

In Return to Morroc, spamming a single skill over and over is the least efficient way to play (Unless you're a Jester , of course.), multiple cooldowns, costs, variations and combo interactions exist.

There are multiple ways skills can interact with one another to enable combos.

Direct Combo

Direct combo skills are skills you need to use right after the first skill, they cannot be used otherwise.

Examples:

• Mechanically they work exactly like old Monk's Combos.
• Some can also be started at will, without needing a random proc.
• Some skills can be used without a combo, but they may have diminished effects.
• Judge's Absolution , it's core skill, deals extra normal hits quickly against an enemy and needs a "Double Attack" proc from the passive Akimbo Mastery to be used. The skill also deals more hits according to skill level and current job level of the user. Violent Barrage also has the same requirement.
• Thief's Cross Ripper Slasher can only be used if you have rolling counters, acquired from using Rolling Cutter and not moving. It also deals higher damage according to the current amount of counters, up to 3.
• Executioner and Gravekeeper's Executioner Skills must be used one after the other in a specific order, with the last hit either being Cursed Coffin or Desolated Burial, both dealing critical chance damage, one being AoE and the other hitting harder.

Synergy Combo

These are not literal combos but they are skills that complement the effectiveness of one another directly, and work better when used with planning.

A few Examples:

Easy: Illusionist's Mist Rotation :

Illusionist's Heal Bomb :

Medium: Black Plague's Poison Rotation :

Hard: Sinner's Final Arrow Stack :

• There are no restrictions or requirements for using any of these, they also have no direct bonuses.
• These combos can be hard to pull-off without practice or management of resources.
• Use Illusion of Mist to cause Crystallize status.
• Real Magic Attack and Illusion of Vermillion deal bonus damage vs Crystallize targets.
• Use Illusion of Healing on target to reverse healing effects used on it.
• Use Heal Lv10 with a manual along with healing power gear to kill the enemy with pure heal damage.
• Apply Venom Mark to enemy, improving poison element damage they receive.
• Apply Poison Status with Envenom, Venom Splasher, Enchant Poison...
• Use Death Cloud to cause Inner Poison status, improving all poison damage further.
• Use Venom Buster to deal poison elemental damage, with a double modifier if target is poisoned, while dealing extra damage due to Venom Mark and Inner Poison Status
• Note: This combo doesn't work vs bosses due to their immunity to poison. They however can still receive Venom Mark.
• Prepare a ton of SP with either SP cost reduction, SP regen, or SP refill stuff.
• Get all coins from Coin Flip as needed and refill them as needed.
• Activate Sniper's Nest to improve final damage.
• Activate Ready to Rip to boost attack % power.
• Activate Inquisition Resolve to add a chance for auto attacks to deal up to 6 hits.
• Activate Killer Instinct for bonus status and flat ATK.
• Activate Last Inquisition for ranged damage modifier bonus.
• Activate Final Arrow to stack all the bonuses and modifiers on a single auto attack. This bonus is lost if you get hit or any of the previous buffs run out.
• Auto attack an enemy to deal massive damage. Due to Inquisition Resolve, this bonus can hit up to 6 times (at a very low chance).
• This is one of the highest damage dealing hits in the game.
• Note: This combo can be used in smaller sizes and variety according to ease, logic and preparation.

Rotations

Rotations are just varied ways to string multiple skills that make sense in sequence, regardless of their combo interactions.

Examples:

Assassin Dagger/Sword AoE:

Rogue In-Out:

Another variety of rotations include status effects to boost damage.

Example:

Dracomancer Burning:

• Burst Petals hit to distant targets.
• Shadow Slash to teleport near it.
• Fan of Knives to deal AoE damage.
• Throw Molotov/Acid.
• Face-off or Backstab to gap close to enemy.
• Hide to dodge any skills, Sneak Attack follow up from hide.
• Decoy to move out.
• Cause Burning status with Dragon Breath (or other cards/skills).
• Dragon Claw deals extra damage vs burning targets.

Where this site knows about a change it is stated above, or corrected in the text below; anything else here describes the game as it was, not as it is.

In Return to Morroc, EVERY equipment has what is called " Innate Bonus ", these are bonuses that you will always find on these items, regardless of other stats. The value in these items don't always mean an item is better or worse, but it's a good way to know what to expect from them.

The innate bonus of any equipment can be found on the first block of their description window.

Some special items might break the average innate of it's type according to its theme.

Accessories and headgears have no innate bonuses, but they may have random options.

Weapons

You can check which weapon each job can use by checking their fixed passive in each skill tree. Or their respective wiki page.

• Note: Katars in Return to Morroc have 1.5x bonus critical rate, for balancing reasons.

Shields

Shields come in 3 varieties. Round shields can also be called Square Shields. All of them allow the use of shield-only skills.

Armors

Return to morroc armors come in a variety of 3. Light, Medium or Heavy.

New ways to play and build

These bonuses may be present in set bonuses, special items or other varied ways.

Shadows are the curse of The Mark given form. They are the main reason Orphans are hated by so many people around New-Midgard.

The Mark

• The Mark is a red glow in the eyes of every Orphan. It's commonly called Morroc's Mark due to it appearing during the mass disappearances after Morroc's Death.
• Orphans who carried the mark have vanished for between 4 to 5 years, leaving no trace behind and having no memory of where they have gone to. They aged normallly.
• The mark has no other known properties apart from creating Shadows.

Shadow Mechanics

• Whenever a player dies in any dungeon (and only dungeons), a Shadow will spawn. The type of shadow depends on the dungeon ranking.
• Each shadow has a specific behavior, and will randomly attempt to Self-Destruct whenever anyone comes near it.
• If the shadow is defeated before it explodes, the last player who died on the map is revived with partial HP/SP. .
• Multiple player deaths can cause multiple shadows to spawn, all must be defeated to revive a player. Only the last player who died is revived.
• If the shadow explodes it deals heavy area damage based on how much HP it had left. Damage is fixed at 100 per HP left. Shadows take 1 damage from any source.

Tailor-made Challenges

Return to Morroc dungeons are always split in two types: Dungeons and Distortion Dungeons

regardless of the type of dungeon a player visits, they will always have their rank, which denotes its difficulty and what Shadow spawns when a player dies there.

Visit Combat Reworked for details on how the combat works and it's dynamics.

• Every dungeon can be handled solo by a sufficiently prepared player, including it's MVP. There are no cheap one shots.
• The recommendations are for reasonable leveling without major struggles. Ignoring some mechanics can still result in death over multiple mistakes.
• Being overleveled may help mitigate some difficulty from the dungeons, at the cost of EXP.

Ranks

The Ranks that shows the difficulty levels can be found on the World Map (Default shortcut: CTRL + ' ) and map banners when a map is entered.

In most cases, a higher rank dungeon will have better drops and provide more exp, as long as a player/party can handle it's difficulty. Lower rank dungeons may sometimes present mechanics from higher rank dungeons under specific circunstances.

• Distortion Dungeons are only available in Ranks B , A or S .
