RF Online Next Opens Asia2 Vera Server This Week and Reworks Mining War

Posted on by

RF Online Next’s 10/21 update is mostly about server expansion and war systems. The Asia2 region is getting a new world, Vera, on 10/23 at 12:00 UTC+9, while the Mining War format has been reworked ahead of its first revamped run on 10/24.

The new Mining War will run every other Saturday, with the first event starting at 20:55 UTC-5/UTC+3. The structure now uses a single Skirmish format, where one representative guild is selected from each server. Sign-ups have also moved away from guild ranking and over to auction bidding with Alberium Lumps.

  • Guilds must be level 3 or higher to bid, and only Guild Masters or Vice Guild Masters can place bids.
  • The top three bidding guilds win entry once the auction ends.
  • Only the fourth-place bid is shown publicly, so new bids have to beat that amount.
  • Bids from guilds that miss the top three are refunded, but some server transfer cases can cancel participation without a refund.
  • The Faction War portion starts after Skirmish, with mercenary recruitment followed by the war itself.

The patch also adjusts market taxes. After maintenance, the World Market uses a 4% base tax, 1% Siege War tax, and 3% Mining War tax. The new General Market has a 6% base tax and 2% Siege War tax.

On the PvE side, Chapter 11 of the main quest has been expanded, with two new Memory Chips tied to the new story content. A new Legendary MAU, Tempest, has also been added under the Sacred Weapon MAU special tab. Its blueprint fragments can drop through Material Conversion levels 15 and 16, and three fragments can be crafted into a Tempest Blueprint.

War Game rewards are getting bumped up too, mainly through better Guild Auction and season rewards across several tiers. Bronze through Master ranks now offer higher-tier equipment ranges in a number of reward pools, with some higher tiers swapping or adding items such as Control Chips, Life Cores, and Magnetic Field Controllers.
