What Is Mentor of the Wilds?
Mentor of the Wilds is a community writing contest Gravity Game Vision opened alongside the global debut of the Druid class in Ragnarok: The New World. Players who publish high-quality Druid strategy guides can win 3,280 Bound Starstones and the exclusive cosmetic title Mentor of the Wilds — a limited profile identifier marking selected guide contributors.
This event differs from the cash-paying Creator Challenge, which targets video creators. Mentor of the Wilds rewards writers who document builds, form rotations, and leveling tips — ideal if you have been maining Druid during SEA week two and want to help new players. Cross-check your entry against our Druid Build and Druid Form Guide for accurate in-game facts.
Schedule and Deadlines
Submission window: July 24 – August 6, 2026. The operations team allows two weeks to publish original Druid strategy content. After the August 6 deadline, reviewers evaluate entries and finalize winners.
Reward delivery: Selected winners receive contact via official Discord DM within five business days after the deadline. Ensure your Discord account accepts messages from moderators — DM filters that block non-friends can cause missed notifications.
Track overlapping deadlines on Current Events and the BABYMONSTER login campaign before August 16 on Launch Rewards Hub.
How to Submit Your Entry
- Join the official ROW Discord — link from the official website, Gravity Game Hub Facebook, or the in-game Event tab.
- Post in the designated
#players-guidechannel. Entries in other channels do not count. - Primary format: illustrated written guide. Video and multimedia may supplement the post, but only as attachments alongside full written analysis — not as a replacement.
- Required label: include the exact phrase Druid Guide Submission in the post title or opening line so reviewers can categorize your entry.
- Originality: copy-pasted guides or re-uploads without your own analysis are disqualified.
Gravity published suggested focus areas before the submission window — typically Werewolf vs Wereraptor vs Human Arcanist comparisons, skill rotations, stat priorities, and launch-week farming tips.
Winner Rewards
| Reward | Details |
|---|---|
| 3,280 Bound Starstones | Account-bound premium currency — useful for convenience and gacha, not tradeable |
| Mentor of the Wilds title | Exclusive profile cosmetic for selected winners — not sold in the cash shop |
The operations team distributes this dual-reward package to multiple outstanding entries — not a single winner. Quality, clarity, and relevant in-game screenshots matter more than word count alone.
Bound Starstones do not replace daily material farming — keep running your Daily Routine and Energy System loop for parallel gear progress.
Tips for a Competitive Entry
- Lead with a specific form — do not cover all three forms without structure; pick Wereraptor solo, Werewolf party, or Arcanist magic and go deep on one path.
- Include stat and skill screenshots from the in-game Build Recommendation menu — verify numbers with our Build Recommendation guide.
- Explain when to switch jobs — cross-link to Job Freedom Strategy if you recommend Druid as a second class after a Mage farmer.
- Reflect July 2026 meta — Gunslinger and Mage remain S-tier; position Druid as a provisional A-tier hybrid, not a flat replacement.
Creators already in the Creator Challenge may submit a separate entry here — video hashtags do not replace the Druid Guide Submission label.
