I’ve been playing Ragnarok Online since 2003 and I must say I had my fair share in the Ragnarok schemes and scams by other players. I’ve been a victim myself. I was just new to the game and I would love to have a Healing Clip. So I traded my muffler [1] and zeny and when the deal is done, all I have is a Clip [1] with no Vitata Card. Grrr!!!! I hated that day. The next one, I was tempted to buy the healing clip (again) for 50php. But what happened is, he never gave me the healing clip. From that day on, I stop dreaming of having a heal clip because it’s a jinx.
Here are the list of the Ragnarok Schemes and Ragnarok Scams that I have encountered in my years of playing.


Buy and Sell Ragnarok Scheme – This Ragnarok scheme usually occurs in a place where there are a lot of people like Prontera. One person would make a pub selling his goods for a price and in a distant area, one person buys the same good a high price. Chances are, you’ll be tempted to buy that good then sell it to the one buying it. But beware for this is a scam. As soon as you buy the goods, both players would disappear.

Pre-caution: You’ll know its obviously a scam if you see one. For example a jellopy, who buys them for 1M?

Ragnarok Load scam – A lot has been a victim of this. People would trade their Ragnarok Load for zeny and vice-versa. In the end, the people you deal with would not give you his share in the trade

Pre-caution: Never trust players that are using novices or people that you do not know

Ragnarok Deal hack

I just heard of this but I don’t know if it’s true. If you deal a player, he could hacked you.

Pre-caution: Never deal with players that are suspicious. Like selling items for a low price or buying items with a very high price.

Ragnarok Deal bug or the infamous Ghost deal

This is a bug in Ragnarok Online that the Gravity developers did not forsee (maybe). It goes like this. You are either selling or buying something in Prontera. A player would offer to trade with you. A player would deal you then then deal you again once the trade window is open. You’ll place the item, then he’ll cancel it. Then the mischievous player would ask you to pass something to his another character or make other excuses. You’ll agree on helping him but when you click the trade window, the items you traded with him before is gone.

Precaution: See the trade window who you are dealing with. Don’t trust people that you don’t know. I think Gravity already fixed this. Too bad for the players who are victims of this bug, their items were not returned nor they were compensated.

Ragnarok scam – False advertising

This Ragnarok scam happens in Prontera. Merchants would write in their shop title Muffler [1] or Shoes [1] . But the truth is, its a non slotted item.

Precaution: Check the item first before clicking the buy button.

Ragnarok scam – False item scheme

The Ragnarok false item scheme got me. This is common with clips, mufflers and other slotted equipments. At first they will show you the real thing then they will cancel the deal, making ecuses. Then they will deal you again, this time its not the same item anymore. The healing clips would just be a plain clip [1]

Ragnarok Chixilog scam

The chixilog scam is the ultimate Ragnarok scam. Chixilogs are male players with female avators. They would befriend and make a guy fall for them, saying they are real female iRL. Guys would fall then he’ll give items and equipmens to the chixilogs. These is a long term Ragnarok scam because the relationship might go on for years. Poor guy :( Maybe I should write a post on how to spot a chixilog.
But no matter how you cry for help, unfortunately the GM team would not help nor entertain you.

To the readers: Tell me the scams that you have encountered while playing Ragnarok.
