Ranker System Overview
The Ranker system rewards the highest-EXP eligible characters with progressively stronger buffs. Rankings are based on total character EXP, not level alone.
Who qualifies
- Characters must be level 55 or higher.
- Banned characters and Game Masters are excluded.
- Rankings are sorted by total EXP, highest first.
- The ranking list supports the top 100 players.
- Rankings refresh every 1 hour.
- The class-ranking display supports the top 20 players.
- Rank buffs are determined by overall rank, not class rank.

5558Ranker Polymorph
The Ranker Polymorph is a special class-based transformation available to qualifying ranked characters. It changes the character’s appearance to a unique version of their current class while preserving the character’s normal Ranker combat buffs.
Visual only: The polymorph is separate from the Ranker buff system. It does not grant Ranker HP, AC, damage, or PvP bonuses by itself.
Eligibility
A character can use the standard Ranker Polymorph when they meet either requirement:
- Place within the overall top 50.
- Place within the top 3 of their class.
Overall and class rankings are updated during the regular ranking refresh. The polymorph becomes available after the character’s current ranking data has been calculated.
Characters must also meet the normal minimum-level requirement. Current Ranker Polymorph entries are configured for level 70 or higher.
Class and gender forms
The available form is selected automatically according to the character’s class and gender. Each class has separate male and female Ranker Polymorphs.
- Prince
- Knight
- Elf
- Wizard
- Dark Elf
- Dragon Knight
- Illusionist
- Warrior
How to obtain it
Eligible characters can select “Ranking Class Polymorph” through the normal polymorph selection interface using a supported polymorph scroll or polymorph control ring.
The transformation uses the character’s current class and gender automatically. Characters who do not meet the Ranker requirement cannot select the standard Ranker form.
The normal polymorph duration depends on the item used. The control-ring path currently applies the transformation for up to 2 hours.
What the transformation does
- Changes the character’s visible sprite.
- Uses the Ranker form’s weapon and armor compatibility settings.
- Removes or unequips incompatible equipment when necessary.
- Updates the character’s visual status for nearby players.
- Allows normal skill usage according to the polymorph configuration.
- Ends when the transformation duration expires or the polymorph is cancelled.
Cancellation protection
The current server provides stronger cancellation protection for Ranker Polymorphs used by characters in the overall top 20.
Overall ranks 21–50 and characters qualifying only through a top-three class ranking may not receive the same cancellation protection.
How rank updates work
- 01Find eligible characters
The server gathers every character who meets the level and account-status rules.
- 02Sort by total EXP
Characters are ordered from the highest total EXP to the lowest.
- 03Assign overall ranks
Eligible characters receive overall ranks from 1 to 100.
- 04Reconcile buffs
Previous and new ranks are compared; old buffs are removed when necessary and the correct new buff is applied.
When buffs return
Rank buffs are also restored when a ranked character logs in or reconnects.
