Travelers of Rune-Midgard,

The winds of the unknown are picking up...

The next scheduled maintenance is set for July 23rd, starting at 2:00 AM and expected to conclude by 10:00 AM (UTC-3).

During this time, the servers will be offline, the perfect moment to rethink your strategies, feed your pets, or simply take a deep breath before facing what’s to come.

And we’re warning you now: this update is packed! From frozen caverns to monsters with thirst issues... here’s everything arriving with this week’s patch:

❄️ Illusion of Frozen

We’ve got cracks in the ice cave, monsters who fake greetings, and a lizard that just wanted to chill. The latest Illusion Dungeon is here to make you laugh, struggle, and grind all at once. Ah yes, the true Rag experience!

Story Preview:

In the depths of the Rachel Ice Cave (2F), strange cracks start appearing. Zeith and Vrid are stuck in a block of ice and need your help. Fire failed. Ice also failed. What’s left? Smash it to bits.

As you solve their frosty fiasco, you’ll hear tales about cranky monsters, frozen pets, and misunderstood Titans.

Monsters to meet:

• Angry Ice Titan – A chunk of ice pretending to be a titan... or the opposite?
• Angry Snowier – Used to greet people. Now greets with a slap.
• Angry Gazeti – Its body didn’t fit, so only the head made it in.
• Solid Icicle – Just a very... icy icicle.

MVP: Awakened Ktullanux – Once the king’s pet, now the frosty leader of the Titans. Cute story, deadly boss.

How to summon Ktullanux:

Touch all the Frozen Crystals in the center of the dungeon within 30 seconds to unseal the MVP!
