Week Eight in Ragnarok: The New World — August 28 Progression

Week Eight Status — August 28, 2026

SEA live service is on day 44 as of August 28, 2026 — week eight is live. The App Store lists version 2.0.5 (optimize secondary password rules). Druid, World Catch, and Prelude chapter systems stay in the live client. Steam published July 26 — play Steam or the standalone PC client with the same Gravity account. Set the lock: Secondary Password Guide.

What closed: Destined Hearts ended August 24. BABYMONSTER login and Creator Challenge already closed August 16. Do not farm couple tokens that no longer exist — spend leftover event currency if the shop is still open, then return to the combat loop.

What is still live: Pioneer through September 16, Monday Siege War (next window August 31, 21:00–22:00 WIB), Prelude pillars (Crusader, Monk, Lv.75 Shadow, Final Mirage), and eleven redeem codes. TW/HK/MO is in World Tour Cup. SEA esports path: Legend Cup in November.

Daily Loop — Week Eight Priorities

Couple quests are gone. The combat spine is the same as week seven, with castle night moved to the next Monday:

  1. Login + Event tab — Pioneer mail, leftover calendars, codes.
  2. MVP after reset — MVP Hunt Priority.
  3. Combat Energy on Recommended maps — Energy System.
  4. Time Corridor (two daily entries, bank extras for Hard) — Time Corridor.
  5. Weekly Endless Tower + Brave Trial before reset — Endless Tower.
  6. Monday Siege — 13 Prontera castles, guild Lv.3 — Siege War.
  7. Claim weekly Star Stones from the daily quiz and guild auction — up to about 6,580 free stones — Star Stones Guide.
  8. Offline auto-hunt after Energy empties — Offline Auto-Hunt.

If you still owe couple cosmetics, they will not retroactively grant after August 24. Shift that time into refine and Siege voice practice.

Monday August 31 — First Castle Night After the Couple Event

August 24 stacked Destined Hearts cutoff on top of Siege. August 31 is a clean castle night. Be in guild voice by 20:45 WIB. Named tanks: Crusader or Knight. Burst: Monk Asura or Gunslinger. Healer: High Priest. Reflect counter: Paladin — do not Asura into a shield. Role sheets: PvP Tier List, Asura Strike Guide, Paladin Reflect.

Hold the main weapon at +12 with Resonance Level 2 armor before you buy vanity +15. Planner: Refinement Resonance.

What Changed from Week Seven

  • Destined Hearts is over — the shared bar is gone. Romance bonuses (dual teleport, couple login) still work if you stay paired — Romance & Marriage.
  • App Store 2.0.5 posted secondary-password rule tweaks. Set the lock before you list stalls or accept trades.
  • Creator videos this week still hammer Guillotine Fist / Asura numbers versus Paladin reflect. Read those two pages before you Job Freedom into Monk for castle night.
  • TW World Tour Cup continues as a regional guild cup; SEA players use it as a preview of how Gravity stages large guild events before Legend Cup.
