Is Ragnarok that hard...

[Evolvei]

that the starter weapons in the washed up crates are needed?

[Sweet Briana 💋™]

lol unofficial servers always do that.

Not worth playing if they super size all the multipliers.

Ragnarok is easier than vanilla maps.

Then why did developer include starter crates? Only wondering if anything was ever said.

Cause people want easy.

Thought Ragnarok was supposedly harder than vanilla maps. Did something change or am I remembering incorrectly?

The thing that makes it harder also makes it easy.

Higher spawn lvl weight.

Ragnarok was first a mod. it then became an official map. Some features were already inside the map and wanted by players so they left it.

I wouldn't say ragnarok is easier than the island. it's about the same scale.
Some caves are actually way more complicated on ragnarok (like foggy cavern took me forever to understand/find everything exit and shorcuts), but not more dangerous except for a few specific areas in some caves.

Just the beginning is less tedious with those crates.

Boss battles are indeed harder since you fight bosses 2 by 2, though each one may be weakier than the original but i'm not sure about that part, it changed many times those past years :p refer to the wiki for that.

Ragnarok is super easy. Just based on resource distribution alone. Metal and crystal everywhere.

And based on wild level distribution.

I like to think it makes early game more accessible. It's just like a bigger, diverse and, in my opinion, more beautiful version of The Island made for people who know what the game is about and makes it easier to get tools, resources and nice tames so you can focus more on exploration, caves and stuff.
It's a pity The Island bosses are not available, though.

It's actually a lot easier than TheIsland dragon and SE manticore. You can easily blitz kill dragon while ignoring manticore. They are like 70% weaker.
