MVP

Overview

MVP stands for "Most Valuable Player", a definition not exclusive to Ragnarok Online. However, in Ragnarok Online, this term applies to monsters, not players. A MVP is a monster that has both Boss Protocol and MVP Protocol. They are much stronger than normal monsters and often times require a party to successfully take them down. MVPs appear on a wide range of maps, typically inside Dungeons and Instances but can also be found in fields. Most often, they spawn at certain times that vary from MVP to MVP; some may spawn once every hour, some may respawn only when the server restarts, some even spawn only when a GM decides to spawn it. The spawn time is determined by the last time that a MVP of that kind was killed. In addition to their own stats and skills, MVPs often summon monsters that will fight with them as their minions, making them much harder to defeat. Depending on the MVP, the fight may consist of up to nine monsters, which could be the same kind of monster or different ones.

While individual players may be able to defeat MVPs by themselves, it is significantly easier to fight MVPs in groups. Because of the difficulty in defeating MVPs, such monsters give high amounts of experience. MVPs will also drop exclusive "MVP loot" which is different from and additional to the normal loot from the monster. The MVP loot is added directly into the inventory of the player who achieved the MVP status during the fight.

MVPs are also free-for-all, which means that anyone can attack them, regardless of who found it first or who summoned it.

Tomb

When killed, MVPs will leave a tomb at the spot in which they were killed. Speaking to the tomb gives information on the MVP's time of death (PST) and the player who received the MVP award for killing it. The tomb will not give information on the MVP's next spawn location or spawn time. Any MVPs spawned by a player, such as Ktullanux, do not leave behind tombs.

List of Normal MVPs

Normal MVPs spawn at a set amount of time after the previous one was defeated plus a random amount of time, which is anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes. For example, if Amon Ra is defeated at 11:00, it would spawn again in between 12:00 and 12:10. If a MVP spawns in multiple places, the times are independent of one another and the respawn period may be different. Below is a list of all normal MVPs, where they are located, and the time that needs to elapse before it will respawn. Normal MVPs except for those from the Uber Difficulty category can be spawned through Abracadabra and Bloody Branches.

• Ktullanux is spawned by using 4 Freezing Snow Powder (obtained via the Ice Necklace Quest) or 4 Ice Scale (obtained by defeating Ktullanux previously) to put out the four sacred fires on ice_dun03 (Ice Dungeon 3). Once defeated, Ktullanux cannot be summoned again for another 2 hours.
• Kraken requires you to kill the five stationary Tentacles on the same map in order to make the boss spawn. Once Kraken has been defeated and 10 hours have passed, the Tentacles will respawn.
• Lord of the Dead does not leave a Tombstone. You can tell that that the MVP is alive by the presence of Loli Ruri monsters on the map.
