New-Midgard

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.

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 World

Return to Morroc provides a familiar world with entirely new rules. In this page, you can understand the major behavior changes, along with layout differences.

World Map Layout Changes

The World map has been fully reworked. Previously accessible areas are no longer included, while many areas have been very expanded.

Changes Compared to Classic (Overall, includes information from both pre-modern and the modern version):

• New World has been completely removed, including most of its locations.
• Louyang, Brasilis and Gonryun and their dungeons have been completely removed. Moscovia Dungeon has been removed.
• Dicastes (Diel only) and Mora have been reworked into brand-new locations in New-Midgard.

• Verus can be accessed through either Juperos East Ruins (Inside Juperos Dungeon) or an elevator in the Yuno East Peninsula (Expanded area, previously unavailable)

Dungeon Changes

Besides the large amount of lore-friendly, new dungeons like Kafra Warehouse, Alchemist Fortress or Lost Island, many other places had major changes.

It's important to remember that every single monster has been fully reworked combat-wise, most had a visual update and some have entirely new sounds.

• Some dungeons had reworked themes like Kiel Dungeon being an abandoned factory with rusty robots or Ant Hell being the Society Nest, with entire city ruins inside.
• Most Dungeons had visual updates like Prontera Maze being a darker forest overall.
• Specific dungeons with issues had either walkways added (Most Mazes), Convenience passages (Payon Dungeon) or entirely reworked floors (Amatsu Dungeon 1F).
• The Entrance to many classic dungeons have new entrance locations, such as Geffen Cave and Geffenia.
• Overly long dungeons had some filler floors removed.
• Thanatos Floor specifically had all quest, party and price requirements removed, also only has 6 floors with most later floors removed.
• All Access Quests have been 100% removed.
• Previous MVPs that required quests to summon (Thanatos, Ktullanux, etc) No longer require them and are on the usual respawn timer.

Travel Changes

The way the world works for long travels had small changes for convenience and lore adaptation.

• The Airship is not available to Orphans, except for the one in Lighthalzen (which takes players to Varmundt's Mansion)
• The Kafra Teleport can take a player to any city within a region or to another region's capital (Prontera, Yuno, Rachel).
• To access the Eastern Islands(Amatsu, Ayothaya, Moscovia and Malaya), you can take a ferry in Alberta.
• Traveling to Dewata requites taking the Daedalus Route, the ship is in Comodo Pharos.
• Traveling to the Snow Fields (with Lutie and Dicastes Diel) can be done by taking the boat in Hugel.
• Mora, Niflheim and Nomad Village can all be accessed on foot.

City Changes

Many cities had major changes from the way the are presented in classic:

• Lighthalzen is a bankrupt fallen city, filled with poor people. The Guard that blocks access to the slums and city no longer exists, free passage is possible.
• Veins is under a strong fog and the MVP Beelzebub can allegedly be found there. Most facilities are now indoors.
• With the Geffen underground's collapse, the tower stairs is now access to Geffenia directly. Access to Geffen Cave is done backwards from a cave south of Geffen.
• Orc Village is way past its prime and a shadow of their former might.
• Umbala people speak fluent english after enough study
• Rachel is a place filled with Freya cultists now, it's safe to walk on the streets, but can be risky anywhere else.
• Classic Payon is accessible as a distortion deep inside Sunken Temple
• Island Monastery is a distortion of Nameless Island before it was overrun by monsters and was still a sanctuary.

Item/Skill Behavior Changes

Due to the focus on world exploration and quick movement, the "cheating movement" has been adjusted with the new quality of life changes.

• Fly Wing and Teleport had massive increase in the cooldown and are not recommended as quick travel options.
• Move Speed has been increased, access to Increase Agility Lv1 is default to all players, along with many more move speed options.
• Mora, Niflheim and Nomad Village can all be accessed on foot.
• Some dungeons have teleport disabled.
• All distortion dungeons have teleport disabled.
• Consumables are much heavier and it's not recommended to carry more than a handful of them due to cooldowns and effectiveness. They are NOT REQUIRED for usual gameplay anymore.

Monster Changes

• All monster levels, behavior, drops and details have been reworked.
• Many monsters feature changed palettes and sprites.
• Many monsters have new sounds added.
• Most monsters are now aggressive by default.

Shop Changes

• Tool dealers sell mostly the same items.
• A cook shop is available in some cities, they Sell stat foods of +1~+7 at varied prices. Reminder that the food buffs don't stack.
• Weapon/Armor shops are now region-based. Each region has it's equipment types: Midgard/Schwarzwald/Arunafeltz/Islands/Tribal/Niflheim

Return to Morroc provides a whole new world to explore. It's a familiar but heavily changed place, all done in a way to make exploration rewarding, unique and varied.

Regions

Regions of Midgard are vastly changed compared to original places. Some areas might be familiar to some, but the way they work may be completely changed. Below is a full breakdown of all major field regions.

Regions never spawn a Shadow when a player dies.

Dungeons

Dungeons are regular places to hunt for items, cards and level up. They are harder than most fields but always carry considerable and unique rewards. Dungeons are NOT instance-based. They are open maps that can be explored as much as needed.

They also have a Ranking that dictates how hard a dungeon is, the rank also dictates what shadows will spawn for the Shadow System .

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.

Distortion Dungeons are unique dungeons that require precise gameplay while under new rules.

The biggest difference for those is that each one has a unique mechanic, either simple or complex and take place in a different time period/timeline.

Distortions are either in the Past or in the Future, and when entering one, it tells you how far from the original timeline it takes place.

They are also always Rank B or higher.

How to access a Distortion Dungeon

The Dungeons require a powered-up Bifrost Mirror , each type of dungeon requires a a different level of it. The Bifrost Mirror has 4 levels of energy, depending on the current eyes slotted into it.

You can find the location of all pieces and details about them on the page linked above.

Reminder that Bifrost Mirror and the 4 Eyes cannot be stored or traded and are character bound.

Eye of Vidar: Travel to the past.

Eye of Vali: Travel to the future.

Eye of Thor: Travel to an alternate timeline or travel deeper within a distortion.

Eye of Balder: Travel to a paradox or world-ending event.

The Eyes can be added to the Mirror in Dicastes Diel (Sage's Palace). Once obtained, they are never lost and access to distortions is permanent and unrestricted.

Distortion Gameplay

Distortions may feature different rules and mechanics in specific cases, such as movement changes or buffs/debuffs.

They also completely lock any kind of teleport or /memo.

Finally, monsters don't drop regular trash loot and the HATred dude can't be found in them, they however drop Distortion Essences

Distortion Rewards

Other than the usual monster drops of equipments, shadow sets and cards, the Distortion Essences drop from any monster in them. The drop rate is always 0.1% per monster level.

Distortion Essences are researched by the Sages in Dicastes Diel, they will exchange a large amount of those for the Sage equipment (equipment with little bonuses but 3 slots), some consumables and materials or the unique Eternal Weapons.

Distortion Dungeons available

The Distortion mechanics can be changed anytime without warning.

Great Challenges, for EVERYONE

In Return to Morroc, The Bosses are a fair challenge. They will provide you with a challenge you can tackle at any moment in your journey!

Are you at Lv20 and fighting around Payon Cave? Try to fight Moonlight Flower! Maybe you'll have a good chance of taking her down!

MVPs have plenty of differences, like the rest of the game:

• MVPs don't have cheap, unpredictable one shots.
• They usually have complex mechanics on higher ranks, that require smart thinking or avoiding certain situations
• They are worth a ton of EXP and zeny when killed. not to mention the MVP Prize Box.
• Most regular MVPs have a respawn random timer of 45min to 1:30h, to avoid camping, they also don't have a tomb to check timer.
• Some final dungeon maps block teleport, and the MVP may have a fixed spawn location, at the end of a difficult path.
• You can get the infinite-use CONVEX MIRROR (with a cooldown) by finishing the main story quest. The Mirror is account-bound but can help with Boss hunting.

Rewards and prizes

Besides our well-known 3% drop rate for cards , MVPs also provide cool new rewards.

Every MVP share some specific loot:

The MVP Prize Box may contain (all items with the same chance):

• MVP Prize Box, that contains cool items, the drop rate is always half the MVP's Level (LV60 boss? 30% drop rate)
• A unique costume, rewarded for the the player who wins the MVP, drop rate of 15%
• A lot of cool stuff.
• All kinds of Refine Materials (Except Jewel items)
• Growth Shadow Coffer (Which itself contains a random mid-tier golden shadow set, with unique bonuses)
• Yggdrasil Berry (Ultra-rare consumables that fully heal the player)
• MVP Shard, a rare currency that can be exchanged for cool stuff in Mora Village.

Relics

Tired of MVPs being camped? No more! Some dungeons have a unique drop, the Boss Relic . These items allow you to summon the MVP for another go, even between normal spawns!

While killing enemies in one of these dungeons, there is a very small (0.1%) chance for each enemy to drop the Relic for the current dungeon's boss.

While the relic can be dropped by enemies on any floor of the dungeon, the item is only usable on the normal floor for the MVP to spawn , often the last.

In addition, only one MVP can be spawned by a relic at a time: attempting to use a relic while a summoned MVP is still alive will waste the use, consuming the Relic.

The normally spawned MVP does not have to be killed in order to summon one with a relic. In fact, summoning one with a relic gives information based on the current state of the normal MVP.

• If the MVP is alive , it will tell you it's alive and show the location on the mini-map
• If the MVP is dead , it will tell you how long until it respawns
• This is similar to the effect of the Convex Mirror

List of Relics

Below is a list of relics and the MVPs they summon. Note that there are no Relics for Field or Distortion MVPs, and not all dungeons have a Relic.

Relics and MVPs are listed in no particular order.

A True Open World

Running the same corridor over and over? Repeating the same cutscenes and same bosses, always in the same order, to no end? Not Here!

Instances here are a narrative experience. You are not expected to do any of them more than once! And they are usually pretty short experiences, tailor-made to be both interesting, unique and provide additional challenges.

No farming/grinding content is in instances.

Main Story Instances

The main story is comprised of 12 Quests. But only 8 of them are instance-based. The final instance also has a party-based version with a harder fight. All main story rewards are storage-able and cannot be traded.

Job Instances

Most final jobs also have an instance for their quest. They are listed below.

Sky Garden Exchange

Sky Garden Is a custom dungeon with 3 layers of maps with normal mobs and MVP on 3rd Floor.

Every mob drops Einherjar Soul, 100 of this item can be exchanged for Odin's Blessing.

Sarah Irene "MVP" and Avatar of Thor also drops Odin's Blessing.

To exchange Einherjar Soul for Odin's Blessing , Player would need to meet "Wish Maiden" at the end of the dungeon for both Blessing and Items exchange.

"Swordsman?" NPC can teleport player back to the entrance of the dungeon, if you wish to start over.

PS: This information is considered regular knowledge and is all considered SPOILER-FREE.

The Grimoire chronicles every detail regarding the progress of the Story of New-Midgard, the world of Return to Morroc. Here you can see how the episodes evolved differently from the original timeline of the game, and how NPCs will deal with it.

5 years have passed since the defeat of Satan Morroc with the return of the now called "Orphans", who once were believed to have died with their family. The Death of Satan Morroc is celebrated all around the world, in what is now called "Year Zero", a new moment for the world.

The Royal Families who are still mourning the late King Tristram III begin rebuilding the world and investigating the disappearances and other strange situations.
