the Mouse
For new users, the mouse is the single most important feature in your PC if you want to play Ragnarok Online because the mouse controls Movement.
* Left-click a cell to move to it. Hold down the left mouse button for continuous movement. If the cell is not highlighted or is highlighted in red, that place is impossible to reach.
The Ragnarok Camera For Printscreen Purposes
Why? For vanity and for remembering chats and items that you can use as proof for any in-game claims that you might need in the future. Bugs are rampant in Multiplayer Online Games, if your character is bugged and you suddenly lose everything you slaved over, you will be asked to provide a SCREENSHOT
* To take a screenshot of anything inside the game, press the PrtScrn command in your keyboard. The image taken will be automatically saved in your Ragnarok folder (Screenshot folder)
1. Changing the side view - Hold down the right mouse button and the cursor will become two arrows curving left and right. Move the mouse left while holding the right mouse button and the camera will rotate around the character to the left. Likewise, moving the mouse right will rotate the camera to the right.
2. Changing magnification - Roll the mouse-wheel to zoom in and out. To do this without a mousewheel, hold the Ctrl key and the right mouse button simultaneously, and move the mouse.
Changing the overview:
1. Hold the Shift key and move the mouse up/down to change the height of the camera.
2 Resetting to the default view: Quickly right-click twice to reset the view to face north. Hold the Shift key and quickly right-click twice to reset the camera’s position.
3. Character Interaction - Right-click another character and a window will pop up with a list of actions to choose from. This is for trading and for adding as a friend.
4. Item/Skill Description: Right-click an item or skill and a window will pop up giving detailed information on that particular item or skill.
5. Drag and Drop Player can equip items, move items to the trade window or Kafra storage window, or drop items on the ground for someone else to pick up simply by dragging. The player can also drag-drop skills and items into the shortcut bar (F1-F9).
NOTE: Drag-n-drop may be blocked if your equipment window is open.
Keyboard Controls
By default, F1 to F9 keys are used for quick access to the most commonly used skills, items, and equipments.
Chat BOX - chat anytime by typing in the dialog box and then pressing enter.
Battlemode (/bm) significantly changes this aspect.
