Quality Ragnarok Online Setup:

This is a guide on how to setup Ragnarok Online for qRO, for those who wish to play on the Quality Ragnarok Online servers, but cannot do so. Here are the following steps to get qRO running with kRO:

1.) Register for a qRO account if you have not yet done so.
2.) Download the latest Korean RO and Sakray clients, which can be found in this thread: [Jan 14 06] Link For kRO 1025, Update to avoid crashes
3.) Connect to the official Ragnarok Online servers to retrieve the latest updates. Do the same for the Sakray client.
4.) Download the qRO Full Patch that is found in this thread: The qRO Full Patch. Extract the contents to your Ragnarok Online installation folder.
5.) Run the qRO.exe, which should grab all of the necessary updates from the qRO server.

Kakashi's Client v2.5

Some of you may or may not be aware, but Kakashi, one of the Quality Ragnarok Online GMs, recently released Kakashi's Client v2.5. A lot of people were encountering crash bugs (mostly kRO users) with the initial version, so he released an updated v2.5 client. The benefits of using this client are:

1.) Updated graphic effects.
2.) Ability to see "Unknown Items" as the newly released cards.
3.) Ability to see unlisted new skills.
4.) Ability to greatly zoom out of the map (including in-doors).
5.) New music (if installing the music version of the client).
6.) New loading screens.

Kakashi's Client is compatible with both kRO and iRO clients. To use Kakashi's Client v2.5, you must make sure you have an updated version of RO, as well as Kakashi's Client v2.0. Here are the following steps to get Kakashi's Client v2.5 running properly (on iRO clients):

1.) Download Kakashi's Client v2.0 and Kakashi's Client v2.5 from the Kakashi's Client website.
2.) Install Kakashi's Client v2.0 to your Ragnarok Online installation folder. Then install Kakashi's Client v2.5 to your Ragnarok Online installation folder.
3.) Run qRO-Kakashi.exe. This will update your qRO content to match the content on the server. Once it is done, click start to play! Note, you should probably create a shortcut to qRO-Kakashi.exe, as you want to run this file everytime you connect to the qRO server.

UPDATE (11/10/2005): The Quality Ragnarok Online server recently switched to a different ISP (due to the DDoS attack), so a new patch is required to play. Extract the patch into your Ragnarok Online installation folder. The patch can be found here: http://leplanb.info/qro.rar

UPDATE (1/14/2006): The qRO server has been updated with many new updates (which are unavailable with the current iRO client), so the kRO client is now required. Check the above modified steps for more directions.
