Unsupported content

As niceRO is based on a 2007 eAthena server and a 2006-02-21 Sakray client, it does not support everything that was added to Ragnarok Online over the years. This can make viewing other wikis and guides a bit difficult as information does not always match up. Here are some high level notes on content and features not yet available in niceRO (as a general note, anything that was added with the Renewal update is not supported):

Unsupported locations

• Rachel
• Veins

Unsupported jobs

• Gunslinger
• Ninja
• All 3rd and 4th class jobs

Unsupported features

• Pet evolutions
• Mercenaries
• Party window health bars
• Bulletin board quests
