Episode 11.1 lands on Ragnarok Online Landverse America as Maxion rolls out Rachel and Ice Cave update

In Brief:

• Maxion rolled out an Oct. 8 gameplay patch for Ragnarok Online Landverse America, topped by Episode 11.1, the Sacred Precinct of Goddess, Rachel and Ice Cave.
• The update introduces 22 new cards into the OCA pool, alongside Battle Pass SS10: Eclipse, NOVA Battleground SS4, a Show Your Support For Rachel Sanctuary event and a NOVA Treasure 5 item refresh.
• It marks the fourth Americas patch since mid-August and the first to stretch beyond the two-week rhythm, touching down four weeks after the Sept. 10 update.

Maxion delivered a gameplay update to Ragnarok Online Landverse America on Oct. 8, with Episode 11.1 — the Sacred Precinct of Goddess, Rachel and Ice Cave — sitting at the top of the changelog.

Word of the release came through the game’s X account as a bare link with no accompanying summary. That matches the format the publisher used for the Aug. 13, Aug. 27 and Sept. 10 patches, each of which pointed players toward the news portal at news.rola.maxion.gg for the complete notes.

The Oct. 8 release falls four weeks after Sept. 10. Both intervals before that ran exactly 14 days.

What’s in the patch

Alongside the episode, the notes cover an OCA card expansion, a collection update, the Show Your Support For Rachel Sanctuary event, NOVA Battleground SS4, Battle Pass SS10: Eclipse and a NOVA Treasure 5 Item Update 1. A pair of bug fixes rounds out the list. Every block links to its own article on the portal.

22 cards join the OCA pool

The card expansion brings 22 cards in total: five weapon, nine armor, three shield, two garment, two headgear and one accessory.

The weapon cards center on property and size matchups. Anacondaq lifts damage against Poison property monsters by 20%. Desert Wolf grants 15% extra damage against Small monsters plus 5 ATK, while Drosera provides CRI +15 on long ranged physical attacks.

Casters pick up Hill Wind, a 5% damage boost to Thunderstorm, Jupitel Thunder and Lord of Vermilion that drains 50 SP once the weapon is unequipped. Driller costs 5 SP for every Dragon monster felled with a physical melee attack, and hands 5 SP back on unequip.

Armor pieces come with trade-offs. Agav grants MATK +5% and Max SP +100 to Mage class characters at the price of 10 DEF. Echio delivers 15 ATK, plus 500 MaxHP for Swordman classes. Skogul imposes a high chance of Bleeding on the wearer and the attacking enemy alike.

Frus reflects magic at a success rate equal to twice the compounded armor’s upgrade level, topping out at upgrade level 10, and carries MDEF +3 for Mages. Archdam adds 10 ATK while lengthening variable casting by 20%, and anchors a Crusader set built from the Permeter, Freezer and Heater cards. The set bonus grants Int +1, Str +1, DEF +2 and 10% SP recovery, lifts Rapid Smiting and Martyr’s Reckoning damage by 10% and trims variable casting by 10%, with the armor turning Holy for Crusaders and Paladins.

Headgear balances burst and casting. Vanberk offers Str +2 with a chance at CRI +100 for 5 seconds on every attack. Isilla gives Int +2 and a chance, on each magic attack, to halve variable casting time and add 30 Flee for 5 seconds.

Shield options lean defensive. Hodremlin trims damage from Small, Mid and Large monsters by 15% and can grant Perfect Dodge +30 for 10 seconds after the wearer absorbs physical or magic damage. Seeker supplies MDEF +10, access to Lv.1 Stone Curse and 30% tolerance to the status.

The Aliza card completes the armor lineup. It can autocast Charming Wink each time the wearer is physically struck, a chance the notes set at 10% for Dancer class characters.

Seasons and events

Battle Pass SS10 runs under the Eclipse name. NOVA Battleground SS4 kicks off at the same time, and the collection system grows in this patch as well.

Two fixes

The Red Lantern description has been corrected. Valkyrie Armor [1] (Tier 5) also picks up Landstone options and 5-line options.

How ROLA got here

ROLA went live Dec. 18, 2025 across Latin America and North America under a license from Gravity Co., Ltd. (NasdaqGM: GRVY), a week after its Dec. 11 target slipped. Maxion publishes and operates the title, which runs on Ronin. On Aug. 20, Ronin opened an Alpha Zone for the game, listing prototype maps, new story quests and a Baphomet attempt among the highlights.

The patch touched down three days after a seasonal tournament server opened on the Americas shard. That competition runs through Nov. 4, with Nova Keys, emblem bags and Adamantine Blessing among the ranked rewards.
