What is War of Emperium?
War of Emperium (WoE) is a game mode in Ragnarok games where Guilds battle against each other in a massive PvP setting to conquer and defend castles a.k.a. “Agits.”
Attacker Guilds race to attack and destroy a castle’s “emperium” in order to conquer it. Once you have taken a castle, you become the Defenders and you have to defend it from other Guilds attempting to steal it.
You need to be in a Guild (obviously) to join the WoE.

Objective of WoE

Check out this page for a list of all castle locations: War of Emperium Castle (Agit) Locations
Attacker Guild
If you do not own any castle at the moment, you are an Attacker Guild. You can challenge a Guild’s castle and attempt to take it over by destroying their Emperium. Once you do, all other players except your Guild will be teleported away from the castle. You will now become the Defender.
Defender Guild
Once you successfully destroy an Emperium and conquer a castle, you become the Defender Guild and your goal now is to defend your castle as much as you can from Attackers who try to steal your agit by destroying the Emperium.
If you can defend the Emperium for 15 minutes without it taking a single point of damage, you’ll get the Perfect Defense achievement and you’ll automatically win.
Otherwise, you’ll have to defend it until the 1 hour duration ends.
Note: Guilds can only hold one castle at a time.

Differences from classic Ragnarok War of Emperium
If you are familiar with War of Emperium mechanics from the classic Ragnarok game, here are some key differences:
- In classic, if you die, you automatically respawn in your save point. But in ROM, you can be resurrected by Priests or via Yggdrassil Leaf
- However, other enemies can “expel” you out of the map by clicking on your dead body
- There are no Guild Skills (ex. Emergency Call) and Guardians
- There is a safe zone near the entrance portals where no one can deal damage to you
- Killing other players and assists will give you Honor Proofs
Rules and Mechanics in WoE
To keep things balanced, there are a few rules while participating in the War of Emperium:
- Fly Wings and Transformation Scrolls are not allowed
- Eating cooked foods is not allowed
- Warp/teleport skills cannot be used
- Play Dead cannot be used
- Marriage skills (ex. I Miss You) cannot be used
There are also a few different mechanics that apply during WoE:
- Knockbacks do not work
- All players will have +400% HP
- You can click on dead players to expel them from the map. They will respawn in their save point.
- There is a cooldown before someone can resurrect you
- % Recovery items can be used but the recovery rates are the same as your normal HP outside GvG
