AMBUSH! (A Theory build)

As I was doing PVP last night, I noticed something very exciting that I had to write this blog at 3am GMT+8 right before I slept.

TL:DR
Ambush can be maximized and inflict more damage.

So, I was gathering tokens for the day to get that wolf tail from the PVP master but I noticed something.

My build and items were not that good, okay? So, I would miss on my sinx colleagues, sometime on Snipers, but would deal least damage (and probably be dead) on LKs. The class that I would deal most damage would be on a HighWizard or a HighPriest. But while I was playing, I realized and theory-crafted something.. Something I haven't tested yet, but proves possible based on the data that I have.. So I Just want to share this and hope that somebody out there who, has zenny, can try.

I noticed the skill 'Ambush' (or 'Shadow Attack' or 'Back Stab'). We all know (at least all sinx) that this skill inflicts stun if you are in hide status.. but that stun status would not really apply IF your target has high stun-resistance. Believe me, I tried, but the stun doesnt really proc atleast 70% of the time. This could be based on the stats of the opponent, I am not sure but more probably, it is. The noticeable thing here was that, this skill does 3 hits and the stun status applies on the last hit.. Since the skill has that special attribute that it applies 100% damage when in hide status, it doesn't really affect the stun. This means, the stun ability mentioned on this skill is not 100% due to the stun-resistance built by the opponents status.

So, here are the information that I could somehow, confirm:

1. Stun from the skill Ambush can be resisted. It is not applied 100% like what it says on the skill info, but the skill damage hits 100% though.

2. If you use the skill Ambush while hiding, the damage applies but you won't be revealed (cancel hide) if the stun doesn't apply. - THIS HAS BEEN DEBUNKED. I've confirmed that if the skill hits, your hide will be cancelled but with a delay.

With the above information, I tried to analyze the runes that we have and may have concluded something significant AND worth trying. I am willing to try this myself but if someone out there who has the right skill levels and conditions, please do try.

Here are my theories:

1. Ambush can be deadly in PVP.

Since the skill does 100% damage if you are hiding, its supposed to multiply your damage by 2. This has been confirmed by my good friends in discord and below is a screenie from them:

Please note: Back Stab and Ambush is the same skill and that the above was used with a normal katar.

2. Ambush runes apply to final damage.

This has yet to be confirmed but I will try to get the runes for this skill. Below is the calculation to get the ambush runes.. they are cheap to get since they are very near. Not only that, if the above diagram is to be taken into consideration, then the calculation for Ambush damage should be:

250% (ambush skill dmg) * 2 (when hidden) + 30% total skill dmg

if simplified, should be 500% + 30% = 500% +  150% of  skill damage = total of 650%

3. Ambush will work perfectly with stun runes.

As you know, there are 5 runes that add damage to stunned targets and since Ambush inflicts stun and once it does, the stun runes will deal additional damage to whatever skill you will use next. These runes add a total of 35% damage to stunned targets, not to mention that they are very near the above diagram as well. Take a look:

In case you're wondering, the above diagrams are from https://romelde.github.io/RuneBFS/#class/3.

Now, ambush can be used by any type of sinx. Regardless of your build, the runes can be applied on top of it, too. Below is the path that I might take, taking Double-Attack runes into consideration. You can copy it if you are a DagSin but if you're a CritSin, you might need to generate your own:

I hope these information become helpful to you. I hope it inspired you to try Ambush, and if you did, please place a comment below or lets talk about it in discord. Cheers!

Dagger Assassin

A not-very-detailed article about being a DagSin.

NOTE: (11-13-2018) This article is one year old and a lot has changed since I left ROM CN. I am currently playing in ROM SEA and if I find time to update this article with the latest information on how to maximize being a dagger sinx, then I will. Thank you!

 This build is based on the Double Attack and Double Blade skills. Double Blade (or Piercing Blades) is a dagger-type only skill that gives 25% chance to reduce physical defense by 50% for 4 seconds. The duration overlaps so having a good attack speed makes it trigger nicely as if the effect doesn't go away.

Aside from the fact that the equipment of this type is cheaper than katar types, the recent update gave a whopping 40% additional damage to DA, thanks to the guild runes. Yes, I know, its a bit expensive if you calculate for the items you'll need to contribute to get the right runes but let me tell you, it's all worth it when you achieve that 40% additional damage to Double Attack. And, please take note that the usual items requested as guild contribution can be looted while grinding or can be bought from NPCs. Except for the miniboss/mvp items, of course, getting those medals are like exchanging your loots directly for power.

Lets discuss where this type of Sinx gets its power..

First of all, Stats. Since you don't have to invest on LUK, the only stats you'll need to fill in are STR and AGI. In the end game, if Level 99 is released, you can achieve STR99 and AGI99. With that, you can choose your equipment to either add more damage or increase your ASPD to the max (480%).

Equipment. The arsenal for DagSins are cheap. Below are the items that would most likely extract the raw power needed for daggers:

Weapon: Tier 3 Ebone Dagger [2] (Pront dagger)

EDIT (Sept 28, 2018): there was an update (episode 2 or 3, I guess?) for the equipment lines with HolyDagger that gave them massive amount of stats. The upgrades required somewhat rare items such as MVP items but all of them can be farmed or purchased from the auction. So, this means a Tier 3 Ebone dagger is now inferior to an upgrade HolyDagger. But still, while going for that upgrade, a tier 3 Ebone is still useful while collecting the needed items for the HolyDagger upgrade. Again, what you read next is not all correct but may still be useful so I'm not removing it.

- compared to a HolyDagger which is the final tier of this weapon, its cheaper to slot this one. The additional slot would give way to either race damage, elemental damage or other subsidiary functions through cards like auto-regen 30 sp (magnolia card, for unli EDP or SB) or auto-SB (injustice card). Why go injustice? The card is cheap and triggers nicely if you have enough (or max) attack speed. Remember, you'd only have to focus on STR and AGI, so 480 ASPD is possible. Not to mention that this dagger (ebone), would only require 90 STR points (total) to give you an additional 15% PATK if it reaches tier 3. In HolyDagger, you'll have to reach 120 STR just to get that 15% physical attack bonus or 150 STR for the 20%. Not to mention that  HolyDagger has that ability to add 30 ATK by chance which can be stacked up to 3x, having a total of 90 ATK but the additional slot in ebone makes up for the lost PATK chances. This has been proven effective by Heridl, who is currently the God of Daggers in discord. He currently uses this dagger with two Dessert Wolf cards and he can out-damage crits made by high-level crit sins in GH.

UPDATE: Heirdl now uses Twilight tier 2 [2] with 2 Minorus cards (explined below).

Why dessert wolf card? It gives you 25% more damage to small-size monster. Now you might be wondering, why wouldn't you choose Mino card which gives 25% to large.. right? Well, that's the first option. Since it's so expensive, you will opt to increase your damage on the category that you already have 100% damage instead of compensating that 50% penalty on large-size monster. Heridl is currently using a Tier 2 Twilight [2] with 2 Minorus cards. Why tier 2 only? Because Twilight already gives 25% damage to large and making it tier 2 will give another 5% making it 30%. Now, add the 2 Minorus cards, the item itself has a total of 80% to large. Now if you do the math, 50% penalty is already cancelled by this item plus you get a 30% additional damage to large monsters. This is preferable for boss hunts (BH) since majority of MVPs are large size which is actually his, and everyone else's target.

Now, you see the technicality of the DagSin build. You can read more below about the equipment set for this build if you are still leaning towards building one.

Off-Hand: Rose Princess Bracer

- this item gives 'ignore 25% defense'. So, to add it to your Double Blade Force skill, you have -75% physical defense. You can opt to slot this but it is all up to you. You might be wondering if you can opt for the tier 3 too but, 25% is achieved only on the final tier, which is this item. (from Bloody Floral Bracelet).

Armor: Tier 3 Tights or Grand Thief Clothes

+15 Ninja Suit II is the ultimate armor for all types of Assassins IMHO. but if its not +15, you're better off using tights or grand thief clothes (GTC) if you're a DagSin.

Tier 3 Tights gives you all the goodies like 8% physical attack just like Mountain Ranger tights but assassins don't really need the last ability which is 'increase the affection of INT on Falcon Damage' since we don't have that and, Mountain Ranger tights can only be equipped by the sniper class.

Now, to compare this with GTC is a long-discussion but we at the thief channel always comes to an agreement that its only a matter of preference. GTC gives you +10 STR, +5 Agi and MDEF 20 which would really help if you want to reach 150 STR for the 20% physical attack bonus from HolyDagger.

Garment: Ancient Cape or Rider Insignia

- ancient cape will give you an additional -15% pdef, added to your Double Blade Force skill that gives -50% pdef (25% chance) and your off-hand (-25% pdef), you will have -90% ignore pdef. Let that sink in.

- now, Heridl opted to use Rider Insignia because it gives 20 Crit Shield. this is important since some mobs (like deviruchi) do Crit Damages and having 20 Crit Shield helps a lot with that. Not to mention that if you pair this with Rider Shoes, you will get a bonus +15 Flee.

Shoes: Feral Boots or Rider Boots or Geffen Boots

- Feral Boots, because they are cheap and it gives +2 agi aside from the 5% movement (which, most of the shoes does)

- Rider Boots if you're going for the Rider Insignia (+15 flee, if paired)

- Geffen Boots, cheap to slot, and makes unli EDP possible. This is the current item that I use, which has an Eggyra card on it. Eggyra card gives INT+2 and SP Recov +5. Assassins have nothing to do with INT, we usually have 0. By default, no matter what you do, a sinx would end up with 400+ SP and that, gives us 4~5 SP recovered every 8 seconds when attacking (4 seconds when sitting). Add that up with the Geffen Shoes and Eggyra card, you should end up with 13~14 Sp recov, enough to cycle and give you unli EDP since EDP cooldown is 40 seconds. Do the math and you'll see, after the cooldown of EDP, you'll have enough Sp to cast it again.

Accessories: Tier 3 Flower Rings [1] or Matyr's Leash [1]

- Matyr's leash scales nicely when refined compared to Flower rings. it means, a +7 matyr's leash gives more ATK than a +10 Flower ring. (sorry, no exact detail but a lot has proven this, that's why chinese players have matyrs leash on them)

- its a must to put a Greatest General Card on one of the accessories for Dagsins. its 3% chance to add 10% damage on final damage for 60 seconds. Final damage means, the 10% is added to the damage you make after your atk calculation is calculated versus your opponent's defense.

Katar VS Daggers

An understanding of the two types of Assassin and their basic builds.

TL;DR: Choosing your type of assassin is a matter of preference.

I know, there are a lot of builds for SinX, but, this is an essay discussing the builds based on the weapons that we use. Being in the thief channel on discord all day while at work, had me noticed a lot of new thieves asking this same question over and over again. To be honest, the choice is all about preference. You'd only need to know the strengths and weaknesses of both builds to know which one you prefer. There are those who like the crisp sound of Crits while others, such as myself, prefer the hissing sound of Double-attacks (DA).

So, enough description and let's get on with the discussion.

DISCLAIMER:

i. I've only tried the Katar build for half a day but I'll try to discuss both builds equal on this post. I think I have enough info on Katar builds from reading a lot of discussion on the #thief channel in discord and those are what you'll be seeing here pretty much. So if you see anything that is incorrect here, please correct me by posting a comment. Thanks!

ii. I will not discuss stat builds and items on this blog as that topic is a totally different discussion on its own. I tried, and got information overload. You might want to ask for specifics on the #thief channel in discord for elaboration.

Katar Types

Primary Stats: STR AGI LUK

Sub-builds: 

(a) Damage Output/high PATK

(b) Pure Crit, high CritRate

Main Highlights:

• High crit via equipment, skills and enchantments
• Can opt to add vit or use cat's blessing set for added flee and HP
• Can be all-around, regardless of opponent
• High damage output, decent flee and attack speed
• Equipments are mostly expensive due to demand in auction

These types of assassin use Critical damage. Knowing that Crit Ignores DEF and Flee, this build can apply enormous damage to the opponent may it be PVE or PVP. The skills on Assassin and Assassin Cross heavily compliments critical damage, critical rate and katars, that's why this is the conventional build. Skills that increase your PATK when using katars, increase crit rate, increase crit damage and katar-specific skill Grimtooth (rarely used) are what composes this build.

Katars double the crit rate so most builds focus on increasing PATK and crit damage. Others prefer 100++ crit rate so they go for items that gives LUK stats. Other builds also rely on skills (assassin aura) for the crit rate (usually stays at 40 LUK only) then go all PATK on the items. Like I said before, its all about preference so if you wanna got all rate or all dmg is upto you. If you want to get best of both worlds though, you can opt to balance the rate and dmg by learning more about the skills and their limitations, and which items or equipment parts compliment rate or damage more then utilize them at the best setup possible.

A little bit more about the items, weapons and accessories are preferable (most of the time) to stay at tier 3 only as katar of quaking and flower rings give out the same PATK compared to their final tier which is Katar of Agent and Frozen Rose Ring respectively. If you're wondering why, the difference between Katar of Quaking tier 3 and Katar of Agent is only the Crit Damage +10% attribute. While Flower Ring tier 3 and Frozen Rose ring's difference is that insects will be non-aggressive to you.

NOTE: It's common for some items to be preferred on tier 3 only because slotting tier 3 items and having a (additional) card in it has more advantage (damage-wise) and is cheaper than slotting the final tier.

Another advantage of a Katar-type is that the size-penalty for damage is less compared to dagger types. Size penalty is as follows:

KATARS:

Small - 75%

Medium - 100%

Large - 75%

DAGGERS:

Small - 100%

Medium 75%

Large - 50%

About the CONS of Katar types, I don't really see any disadvantage of this build other than items that directly give CRIT SHIELD which, directly decreases the crit rate. So, for example, if you have 80 Crit and the opponent has Rider Insignia which gives CRIT SHIELD +20, then you will end up with 60 CRIT only, making it less for you to trigger CRIT.

Now, onto my build.. daggers!

Dagger Types

Primary Stats: STR AGI

Sub-builds:
(a) raw DMG
(b) -DEF build

Main Highlights:

• Highly technical when it comes to skills and equipment
• Medium to high difficulty in grinding
• Cheap build (item-wise)
• Can opt to choose between -def type with poison or raw damage
• Can be buffs-demanding to draw out maximum power

DagSins utilize Dagger Specific skills and make the best out of it. This build is way cheaper than CritSins especially when it comes to the equipment and could also be very technical since you will not only have more active skills to use, you will also be specific with the equipment and cards that you'll put on the slots. Besides, once you reach a point that your DA (double attack) hits harder than any other SinX around you, you will feel that dominant feeling over the area.

The skills we use are Double Attack, Dodge and Double Blade Force. Double Blade Force is a dagger specific skill that gives 25% chance to inflict -50% DEF for 4 seconds. Knowing that DagSins don't need LUK, they can have decent ASPD if they wish to focus on AGI over STR and with higher ASPD, Double Blade Force triggers more frequently.

Since we already have a skill that reduces DEF, we normally focus on adding more -def attributes in terms of equipment. Rose Princess Bracer  (-25%DEF), Ancient Cape (-15% DEF) and Nut On Head (-5%def)  are the usual equipment we add giving us a grand total of 95% ignore DEF (considering double blade is triggered). You could also add more -def thru Enchantment via the Cat in Geffen but be careful as this 'lottery' might get you caught up and before you know it, you've spent millions of zennies before you could get the -def enchantment. You can always check the auction for items that has those good enchantment and always be on the look out for those on sale as they are cheap, like 1/10th-price cheap.

DagSins also utilize other active skills like Slash and Poison Skills (Envenom, Poison Kunai and Venom Splash). Sonic Blow is also used with this build just like how you would on CritSins. There are others who prefer to use Sp recovery shoes (Geffen Shoes + Eggyra Card) and cards on weapon (Magnolia Card) to have unlimited EDP or auto-sonic blow (Injustice Card)

This build would also suggest hunting for the small-sized monsters in a map of your choice. Remember, if you check on the reference above, daggers can only inflict 100% damage on Small size monsters. So, with this in mind, you'd need to do your research on which monster to grind on when planning to switch maps. It's a bit of a bummer but this is to maximize the power of Daggers. So :blobshrug:.

If you are interested on this build, you can check this post about Dagger Assassins which discusses a little bit more of the build.

You can always visit the #thief channel in discord and ask away for any questions you have in mind about the type of SinX you'd like to build. Keep in mind, and what we always say, that your character is your own and building it is just half the fun of the game.

How to install Bluestacks.cn

Hey there!

If you are reading this, I assume you have some issues with playing ROM either on your mobile phone or tablet, or on the current emulator that you use.

Well, if you have read my previous blog post, you'll know that I am amazed on the performance on BluestacksCN. So , with this, I'd like to help you guys install it.

Now, here goes!


1. Go to https://bluestacks.cn/ and download BluestacksCN.

You can opt to download the Offline installation kit (left) if you prefer a stand-alone installer.

2. Install it like any other software and let it patch until it finishes. If you downloaded the stand-alone version, it should not patch anymore but would still have an initialization process for first-time use.

3. Download the latest version of Ragnarok Mobile OBT Client from this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B37aoRKveOEFUlMxYkZyVmRuQW8

4. Once done, open bluestacks and click on the APK icon on the lower-right side.

5. On the pop-up, it would require you to locate the apk file you'd like to be installed, locate the obt client you have just downloaded from Clo's Google Drive and let it install.

6. After installation, run ROM and let it patch. Enjoy!

NOTE:
I dont have the translation of its UI yet but as soon as I get them, I will update this post.

You can also use the unofficial English patch to turn the game into English just by downloading the patcher from ROGuard's website https://roguard.net/english-patch/.

Fast Emulator for Ragnarok Mobile

So, you play Ragnarok Mobile on your phone but it heats up so easily and gets the battery drained like water in the sink. You have the option to play on emulators which some, by the way, are promoted by XD's website themselves BUT you only have an old laptop or desktop that you don't think can run such emulators without any decent graphics card or memory.

You might want to rethink that idea because with my own experience, I was surprised with one emulator running seamlessly on my slow laptop. Take note: my laptop only has a built-in graphics card.

Click here to jump to the installation process of Bluestacks.cn

Can't believe it? See for yourself. My laptop is an Asus X453MA (with Bing). Look it up on Google if you want but quick specs will be:

Processor:                 Intel® Bay Trail-M Dual Core Celeron N2830 2.16GHz

RAM:                       2GB DDR3

Display:                    14.0" Auto HD (1366x768)

Storage:                    500GB HDD 5400 RPM 

Battery:                     2Cells 30 Whrs

Detailed information: https://www.asus.com/ph/Laptops/X453MA/specifications/

Again, this thing has no GPU but comes with an integrated graphics card from Intel which doesn't really do much but to generate the display on the LCD. This comes pre-installed with Windows 8 with BING but I recently upgraded it to Windows 10 Home edition because it comes free with the license it came with. Now, imagine how slow this laptop is, even if Microsoft claims Windows 10 runs smoother and faster with lower resources or memory compared to Windows 8. Yeah, maybe a bit. You know when you have an old desktop and still running Xp for 8 yrs then you decided to reformat it and give it an upgrade to Windows 7? Looks and feels like its brand new cause its fast and all but after you install all your apps on it you start to realize it ran faster before you upgraded it. That's exactly how I felt when I upgraded to Windows 10.

Now, what did I do? I upgraded the RAM to 8Gig.

The upgrade was worth it. It made the laptop snappy, opening apps quickly, booting up faster, even! So, it gave me hope to run emulators and finally relieve my phone from my gaming torture.

I WAS WRONG.

I have installed KOPLAYER and NOX before I upgraded to Windows 10. The upgraded didn't really wipe my laptop but just installed Windows 10 on top of Windows 8 that's why the apps stayed. I tried to run these two (separate instance, of course) but still they can't run ROM properly. Both ran the game so slow that it's like running the game in a Virtual Machine. This crushed my hopes of playing ROM on it so I decided to find other ways.. I installed Remix OS on it. (see https://tipidgaming.blogspot.com/2017/03/ro-mobile-on-remix-os-old-laptop-new.html)

Yey! It works like a charm! So fast, so seamless! But, the downside to this is that it's unstable and it crashes, freezes. I've researched and the crashes and freezing seems like to be happening often on Asus Laptops.

Okay, I can play ROM on Remix OS but I always pray that it does not freeze because the freezing seems random, regardless of when I had turned the laptop on. The frequent crashing had led to corrupting the partition I created for Remix OS. This prompted me to reinstall Remix OS but it scared me that it might corrupt my whole HD! So, I tried emulators again to avoid killing my one and only laptop.

I went to Discord and asked around for any good and fast emulators that run on quad-core PCs. And Clo advised bluestacks.cn or Memu. I tried http://bluestacks.cn/ and I almost dropped as I can't believe what happened next.

At first I thought the emulator would lag while opening up ROM, that I would get chappy sounds and/or delayed display from the background music but NO. It was fast and fluid as if I was playing it on my phone. This did not put up my hopes though because I was skeptical that it might be on the login screen only so I decided to patch the game up and play. While the loading screen shows up the Poring running on the bottom of the screen, I quickly ran to the kitchen to get some water to drink then went back to the laptop and was ready to be disappointed.

But NO.

I can't believe my eyes as I was looking at the screen, seeing all the other players and even the NPCs moving with no lags nor delays as if being played on a mobile device. Then I tested the sound and there was no delay as well. I clicked around to move my character and a grin started to stretch on my face because the experience was unbelievable and I was excited that I can finally play safe knowing that my laptop wont be frozen anymore, risking to get corrupted and becoming an expensive piece of paper weight.


ANYWAYS.
I'll try to update this post with a video of how snappy bluestacks.cn is. I am not so sure if the developers of the original bluestacks is different from that of bluestacks.cn but I'm sacrificing my eyes for bleeding out of trying to choose or understand the options of bluestacks.cn but it's all worth it since it plays ROM so smooth that I can chat in discord, play a movie and/or browse the internet while playing ROM.

I hope you guys find this review satisfying.

How to copy Ragnarok Online Mobile from phone to Remix OS Laptop

I'm a cheap player so I tend to find various ways just to save up on all resources but still play my mobile game. Right after I installed Remix OS on my laptop, I knew I had to download ROm again which would mean, another Gig or more of data from my allocation. But since I'm a cheap-o kind of enthusiast, I tried copying the game from my mobile to the laptop which costs almost no data allocation at all.

Since you turned your laptop into an Android device (sort of), you might think you could just transfer the game and it's data from your phone into it using a file sharing app called ShareIt. Unfortunately, it can't. I don't think all laptops have the hotspot capability and since ShareIt basically uses a devices' hotspot to let the other device connect to it and then transfer the data, it couldn't really work with Remix OS.

So, I tried my best to find a solution to my issue. And here's how I did it:

Either if you installed Remix OS side-by-side with Windows or installed it at another partition, you sure have enabled dual-boot. This means everytime you turn your laptop on, it asks you which OS to run. Now if you do, follow the next steps:

1. Reboot your laptop and on the OS selector, choose Windows.

2. Download Shareit on your computer and install it. Here's the official link: http://www.ushareit.com/en/

3. Share the Ragnarok Online Mobile app from your phone to your laptop using ShareIt. Please don't ask me how, just click on 'Share to PC' on the app in your mobile phone then follow the instructions. Come on, don't be too stubborn.

3.1 You could also share the data folder of Ragnarok together with its installer using ShareIt, just navigate to android/data/ and share the folder named com.ro.xd.apk

Note: In case you're wondering why not use this pc version of ShareIt on Remix OS to share the file, it can't be installed since Remix OS' language is Android and Windows is, well, Windows. lol.

4. Step 3.1 didn't actually work for me, the transfer got stuck on 98% and never got finished. So.. plug your mobile phone and make sure it is detected by Windows. If not, you might need to install it's drivers, manually enable file transfer on the phone (prompted), or borrow another usb cord from whoever sits next to you.

5. On Windows, navigate to your phone's internal storage and look for android/data. Find the folder named com.ro.xd.apk and copy it to your computer. I'd suggest saving the file on either the downloads folder or the desktop, whichever works for you best.

5.1 Grab some snacks, it could take a while.

6. Reboot your computer and run Remix OS. Open the default file explorer then find the RO mobile installer and the com.ro.xd.apk folder. Copy them to your Remix OS storage location.

7. Install RO mobile. Once done, don't open it yet. Copy the folder com.ro.xd.apk into the Remix OS storage location android/data.

8. Now you can open RO mobile. If the game is updated on your mobile phone before you started this tutorial, then the game should just run without downloading anything. Otherwise, it will.

Ragnarok Online Mobile on old/slow computer using Remix OS

I'd love to write a long blog about how I ended up ditching Windows and use Android on my slow laptop but since a lot of readers don't really read that much and just jump to the steps on how to do it, I'll just save that story for another page which might interest other (REAL) people out there. So, here goes!

Step 1)

Download Remix OS here. Unzip.


Step 2)

Run the installation tool.

2.1 For the ISO file, click browse and look for the Remix OS image (.iso) found inside the folder you've just unzipped.
2.2 For type, let it say hard disk. But for Drive, it's up to you on which partition you'd want it installed. I recommend creating another partition to avoid clutter but it's totally safe to install over drive C, too.
2.3 Click OK, system will reboot, choose Remix OS


Step 3)

Using Remix OS, download Ragnarok Online Mobile from this. (credits to Clo!)

Note: Downloading ROm from Taptap had already been stopped by Gravity, so you'd really need to download it from Clo's link.


I hope playing Ragnarok Online Mobile on Remix OS in a very slow, very old laptop would impress you as it did to me. I'll be posting more tutorials on how deal with certain issues around Ragnarok Online Mobile on Remix OS!
