Arise Ragnarok Complete Guide: Everything You Need to Know
Confused after the tutorial? You’re not alone. The in-game tutorial barely scratches the surface. This guide covers everything from an S-rank player’s perspective—stats, shadows, dungeons, merging, rank-up, and the latest update changes.
Starting Out: First Steps After Spawn
When you first spawn in:
- Find NPCs running around with quest markers
- Accept a quest—a portal opens nearby
- Enter and defeat enemies without getting hit (they can two-tap you early)
Tip: Stick to blue quests until around level 50. They’re easier and give consistent EXP.
The Arise System: Shadows Are Your Army
After defeating enemies, you’ll see E (Arise) or R (Collect) prompts:
- Press E → Arise the enemy as a Shadow (fights for you)
- Press R → Collect Essences (currency)
Why Shadows matter: Your shadows deal more damage than you, even if you dump 1,000 points into Strength. Prioritize building a strong shadow army.
Shadow Types & Best Picks
Open your Index to see shadow types:
| Type | Damage | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Assassin | ~3,000+ | ★★★★★ Highest |
| Mage | Medium | ★★★☆☆ |
| Warrior | Medium | ★★★☆☆ |
| Tank | Low | ★★☆☆☆ |
Best Assassin-type shadows:
- Elf
- Moke
- Elf Dungeon Boss
Stat Points: Where to Invest
When you level up, you get stat points. Open the stats menu and choose wisely:
- Strength → Your physical damage
- Vitality → Health pool
- Mana → Required to summon shadows
- Agility → Movement speed (50 points unlocks double jump)
Recommended build:
- Mana first → You need mana to arise and summon shadows
- After the update, shadow mana cost was reduced, so Strength is now more viable early
Pro tip: Get exactly 50 Agility for double jump—it’s a game-changer for mobility.
Quest Types Explained
Three quest colors, three difficulty levels:
| Color | EXP | Difficulty | Drop Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | ~1,500 | Easy | ~1% reroll |
| Yellow | ~3,000+ | Medium | Higher |
| Red | Highest | Hard (Rare) | Best |
Yellow quests give double EXP compared to blue. Red quests are rare but extremely rewarding.
Dungeons: Spawn Times & Locations
Dungeons spawn every 30 minutes in real-time at fixed locations:
| Dungeon | Location |
|---|---|
| Goblin Cave | Near spawn area |
| Elf Dungeon | Middle of map, head left |
| Demon Castle | Straight left from spawn |
| Infernal Castle | Right next to spawn |
| Spider Dungeon | Follow path from spawn |
| Subway | Underground entrance |
| Agress | Far corner of map |
Dungeon tips:
- Solo is easier—mob health scales with party size
- Clear all mobs first, then mine crystals, then kill boss
- If you kill the boss, you get teleported out instantly—mine first!
- Completing dungeons gives 1-3 chests with armor/weapons
Mining System & Achievements
Equip your weapon (press T near crystals) to mine. Your mining speed improves through the Veins of Mana achievement.
Achievement progression:
- Veins of Mana (max XV/15) → Mine more crystals = faster mining
- Soul Extractor → Arise or destroy more shadows to level up
Mounts: How to Get Them
Wolves spawn during certain quests. There’s a small chance to arise them as mounts.
- Press M to open mount menu
- Press P (paw icon) to summon equipped mount
- Spider mount requires completing the Spider Dungeon
Guild Store & Economy
The Guild Store is inside the main building (take the elevator). It refreshes every 30 minutes when dungeons spawn.
Converting resources:
- Essences → 2x coins (2,000 essences = 4,000 coins)
- Mana Crystals → 1:1 coins
Note: After the update, items can no longer be sold directly. Use the new essence tier system instead.
Merging System: Weapons, Armor & Shadows
Armor & Weapon Merging
- Need 4 identical items of the same rank
- Pick the one with the best stat first—that stat transfers
- Max merge level for weapons: M10 (damage caps after)
Shadow Merging
- Max merge level: M30 (stats cap after)
- Look for shadows with the best base stats before merging
- Merging costs 100 coins per merge
Stat priority for shadows: Damage > Skill > Health
Rank-Up System
Reach Level 1,000 (now 1,050 after update) to take the rank-up test:
- Go to the Rank Test NPC in the guild building
- Walk into the orb
- Complete the test
Current max rank: S-rank (X-rank coming soon)
Game Passes: What’s Worth Buying
| Game Pass | Effect | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 2x EXP | Double experience | ★★★★★ Best value |
| Auto Arise | Auto arise/collect shadows | ★★★★☆ Huge QoL |
| Extra Shadow | 11 shadows instead of 10 | ★★★☆☆ |
| Extra Chest | +1 dungeon chest | ★★★☆☆ |
| 2x Luck | Better drop rates | ★★★☆☆ |
| Large Storage | +50 inventory slots | ★★☆☆☆ |
| Small Storage | +25 inventory slots | ★★☆☆☆ |
