Adoption System

Overview

The adoption system on RO is pretty basic and requires only a few steps and 3 people.

Step 1: Have a Male and Female become Married.

Step 2: Invite the character that is to become adopted into the party.

• Note for Parents: Must both be level 70 or higher and BOTH must have their wedding rings equipped.
• Note for Adoptee: Must be a First Class or Novice in order to be adopted.

Step 3: One of the Parents must right click the child-to-be and select "Adopt -name-". Said character will be prompted if they want to be adopted by you - if they click OK, they will become the Parents' child.

A couple only can adopt one character for their entire lives. So make sure the child you pick is the right one.

Skills

Along with the mentioned "Upsides," adopted characters and their parents gain access to new skills.

Skills for Adoptees

• Mom, Dad. I love you!
  • Parents will have no death penalty for 2 minutes; Requires 10% of the childs MAX SP Amount
• Mom, Dad. I Miss you!
  • Summons parents to the childs location.

Skills for Parents

• Baby, come over here.
  • Summon child to parents location

Benefits of being Adopted

• The child will be able to share with either (or both) of their Parents at any given level, as long as the Parents are both 70+. This makes leeching from 1/1 to 99/50 possible.
• The child is now Size Small. This renders Skel Worker Cards ineffective in PvP against child characters, as the only aspect of it that will affect them is the +5 ATK per card.

Limiations of being Adopted

• Child's HP and SP are only 75% of Max HP and Max SP.
• Adopted characters cannot increase a stat past 80 base (tip: if a character has a stat over 80 base prior to being adopted, it will stay as such - although it cannot be raised any further once adopted).
• Adopted characters cannot Rebirth/Transcend
• Adopted Blacksmiths' and Alchemists' Forge and Brewing skills rates are decreased by 50%.
