# Bi-Weekly Exp. & Drop Boost

### What Gets Boosted

#### Experience (5x to 10x)

* **Base Experience** — All monsters across every map grant double the normal server rate, jumping from 5x to 10x. This applies to all monster kills regardless of level difference.
* **Job Experience** — Same as Base EXP, Job EXP is boosted from 5x to 10x, allowing players to unlock class skills and advance through job tiers significantly faster.

#### Drop Rate (1x to 7x)

* **Monster Drops** — All items in monster drop tables are boosted from the standard 1x rate to 3x. This includes common loot, equipment, and card drops.
* **Card Drops** — Cards stays the same as 5x making it more rate and valuable.
* **MVP Drops** — MVP and Mini Boss drops are excluded.

### Why Bi-Weekly?

The Ragnarok Classic runs this event on a **bi-weekly** (every other Saturday) schedule rather than weekly for several important reasons:

| Reason                    | Explanation                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Economy stability**     | Running boosted drops too frequently would flood the market with rare items, crashing prices and devaluing the effort of everyday farming.                                                        |
| **Keeps it special**      | If boosts happened every week, they would feel routine. A bi-weekly schedule keeps the event exciting and gives players something to look forward to.                                             |
| **Healthy progression**   | Permanent or overly frequent EXP boosts trivialize the leveling journey. Bi-weekly events reward players who plan their grind around the schedule without making normal-rate days feel pointless. |
| **Weekend accessibility** | Saturday was chosen because it is the most accessible day for the majority of players — no work, no school, maximum participation.                                                                |

### Tips for Maximizing the Boost

#### Leveling

* **Save your grind sessions** — If you are close to a key level or job change, consider waiting for the boost Saturday to push through.
* **Party up** — Combine the 10x EXP boost with party bonus experience for even faster leveling. Full parties on high-density maps can yield massive returns.
* **Stock up beforehand** — Make sure you have enough potions, supplies, and equipment ready before the event starts so you can spend the full day grinding.

#### Farming

* **Target rare drops** — Use the 3x drop window to farm items that are normally too low-rate to grind efficiently (cards, rare equipment, crafting materials).
* **Prioritize high-value monsters** — Focus on monsters with expensive or in-demand drops. The 3x rate turns marginal farming spots into profitable ones.
* **Sell smart** — Everyone else is farming during the boost too. Consider holding high-value drops for a few days after the event when supply dips and prices recover.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Does the boost apply to quest EXP rewards?** A: No. The boost applies to monster kill experience only. Quest turn-in rewards remain at their fixed values.

**Q: Do Bubble Gum / EXP Manuals stack with the event?** A: Yes. Personal drop and EXP boost items stack on top of the event rates, making boost Saturdays even more rewarding if you use them.

**Q: How will I know when the boost is active?** A: A server-wide announcement will be broadcast when the boost activates and when it ends. You can also check the server's Discord for the event calendar.

**Q: What if I can only play for a few hours?** A: The event runs for the full 24-hour Saturday window, so you can log in whenever works best for you. Even a few hours of farming at 7x drops can be very profitable.
