Filipino players will now have access to the Sigil Tablet update for Ragnarok Origin, allowing them to enjoy more power-ups and boosts during battle.

This latest feature on the beloved mobile MMORPG lets players to acquire exciting bonus effects. This is done by embedding powerful sigils onto their stone tablets, pushing character customization and enhancement to a whole new level.

Here are a few things to know about the Tablet System update:

Unlocking the Tablet System

To access the Tablet System, players must reach base level 75; once a guide quest is completed, players will unlock the system and be able to acquire free sigils.

Customizing Sigils

With the Tablet System, players can embed one active sigil, one specific class sigil, and up to four passive sigils simultaneously; some sigils take effect upon embedding, while others can be manually activated during combat.

Sigil types

Sigils are categorized into three: active, job-exclusive, and passive.

Active sigils can be actively used in combat, granting players a diverse range of additional skills (Primal, Power, Descent of Holy Light, and Excalibur);
Job sigils are exclusive to specific jobs, and enhance particular skills. For instance, Lord Knights can benefit from the Aura Enchantment sigil;
Passive sigils can be activated during battles, regardless of a player’s class, to enjoy their effects during combat.

Sigil activation and upgrade

Each sigil unlocked for the first time will activate corresponding collection stats that have a permanent effect.

Unlocking and upgrading sigils will earn players collection XP, which in turn unlocks bonus stats and item rewards.

Sigil upgrade process

To increase the level of a sigil, players may utilize sigil charts. Each upgrade will grant additional stats for a stronger character.

Once the maximum level has been reached, sigil shards can be used to repair the stone tablet. Increasing the repair level unlocks stat bonuses too for further power boosts.

Acquiring sigils

Where does one acquire sigils? Sigils and sigil shards can be obtained in the Juperos Ruins, Dungeon Leaderboard rewards, and by purchasing random sigil boxes in the Nyan Berry Shop and Diamond Shop.

Juperos Ruins

In the Juperos Ruins, players will assemble a five-member team to gear for an intense 10-minute battles where they will face off against three powerful boss monsters.

Each of the bosses’ revival will lead to increased difficulty, allowing players to win better rewards and scores.

Ubisoft cancels Prince of Persia remake, five other games

The company restructured into five different studios.

One to two decades ago, Ubisoft was one of my favorite game developers. From Assassin’s Creed to Splinter Cell to Prince of Persia, the company was a bastion for unique roleplaying experiences. Now, it feels like they’re tapping into old wells too many times. To try and rekindle the magic, Ubisoft has just restructured the company and, unfortunately, dropped or delayed some titles in development.

One of those canceled titles is the ill-fated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The classic game was a bright spot for the studio prior to the rise of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Back in 2020, Ubisoft announced a remake of the title. Sadly, it’s been in development hell with nary a peep from the studio. Now, it’s gone for good.

Besides Prince of Persia, Ubisoft also canceled five other titles but refused to name any of them. Plus, seven games were delayed. Though unnamed, one of those titles might be the rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.

The restructuring itself sees Ubisoft split the work among five development teams (via VGC). Vantage Studios, one of those “creative houses,” will oversee Ubisoft’s tentpole franchises including Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry.

The second and third houses will work on competitive games (such as Rainbow Six Siege) and live-service games (such as For Honor), respectively. Meanwhile, the fourth house will handle narrative-driven titles such as Anno and Prince of Persia. Finally, the fifth will work on family-friendly titles such as Just Dance and Monopoly.
