Status Effects
Contents
Overview
There are many status debuffs (or status ailments) in Ragnarok Online that work against you in many ways. Both player characters and monsters are capable of inflicting them.
Notes
The following formulae will split into two kind of calculations:
Percentual
Calculated by percentage, 10000 means 100%; 1 means = 0.01%.
- Example of Chance (sc_def)
- Initial = 50% -> sc_def = 5000 (50% of 50%) -> Final = 25%
- Example of Duration (tick_def)
- Initial = 5000ms -> tick_def = 5000 (50% of 5000) -> Final = 2500ms
Linear
Direct modification to the formula and it's calculated after percentual resistance is applied.
- Example of Chance (sc_def2)
- Initial = 25% -> sc_def2 = 2000 (25% - 20%) -> Final = 5%
- Example of Duration (tick_def2)
- Initial = 2500ms -> tick_def2 = 2000 (2500 - 2000) -> Final = 500ms
Formula
FinalChance = BaseChance * (1 - sc_def / 10000) - sc_def2 FinalDuration = BaseDuration * (1 - tick_def / 10000) - tick_def2
Glossary
- tar = Target
- cst = Caster
- LD = Level Difference (tarBaseLvl - cstBaseLvl)
Bleeding
- For the Monster Exclusive Skill see NPC BLEEDING.
Explanation
This status ailment causes the following effect:

- Natural HP/SP Regen disabled.
Formula
sc_def = tarVIT * 100 sc_def2 = (LD + tarLUK) * 10 tick_def = tarVIT * 100 tick_def2 = tarLUK * 10

Stun
- For the Monster Exclusive Skill see NPC STUNATTACK and NPC WIDESTUN.
Explanation
This status ailment causes the following effects:
- Any flee will be negated.
- Impossible to move, attack, pick up items, skill usage, sitting, force disconnection, and item usage.
Source code
sc_def = tarVIT * 100 sc_def2 = (LD + tarLUK) * 10 tick_def = tarVIT * 100 tick_def2 = tarLUK * 10
Stun duration formula
Duration = BaseDuration - BaseDuration * tarVit / 100 - 10 * tarLuk Default duration: 5000ms
Stun chance formula
Chance = BaseChance - BaseChance * tarVit / 100 + srcBaseLevel - tarBaseLevel - tarLuk BaseChance is expressed as 100 = 1%, therefore 10000 = 100%
Recovery
To assist in recovering from this ailment:
- Default duration of stun is 5000 ms from all sources and skills.
- VIT (greatly) and LUK (very minorly) will reduce the chance to be inflicted in addition to reducing the duration of this ailment inflicted.
- Base level will slightly lower the chance of Stun being inflicted.
- 1 VIT = 1% relative stun chance reduction (reduces stun chance depending on skill), in addition to -0.05 seconds (or 50 ms) duration reduction.
- 1 LUK = 0.1% absolute stun chance reduction (reduces stun chance independent of skill), in addition to -0.01 seconds (or 10 ms) duration reduction.
- VIT and LUK stack additively. For example: Dazzler has a 50% stun chance. Immunity from Dazzler is achieved if VIT + (LUK/5) >= 100. Hammer Fall has a 70% stun chance. Immunity from Hammer Fall is achieved if VIT + (LUK/7) >= 100. Attacks from 4 Savage Babe cards have a total 20% stun chance. Immunity from 4 Savage Babe hits is achieved if VIT + (LUK/2) >= 100.
