A card dropping to the ground after hours of grinding in Ragnarok Online, or your guild finally bringing down an MVP boss, is often something only the people who saw it believe. Record with DOR and you can trim those few seconds and show them with a link. This MMORPG, run by Gravity, became a DOR 'full-play recording' game in the October 2026 app update. When you launch it, DOR detects the game and keeps everything from launch to exit as one video, so walking between hunting grounds and waiting for a boss all end up in the same file. This guide covers how to pull out only the decisive moments from a Ragnarok recording full of waiting.
The longer you record, the sooner you check storage
Ragnarok involves long stretches of grinding in one spot or waiting for a boss to appear, so recordings get big more easily than in other games. Recording stops automatically when free space falls below 20GB, which means the very moment a card drops could go unrecorded. Clear disk space before a long session, and if recordings don't seem to save, work through the path and space checks in how to fix recordings not saving.
Picking a few seconds from a long Ragnarok recording and sending them
- 1Check recording and disk space, then log inIn DOR settings, confirm Ragnarok Online is on under 'full-play recording' and that you have comfortably more than 20GB free. Then launch the game as usual; automatic detection starts recording and it runs until you log off.
- 2At the decisive moment, look at the clock firstWhen a card drops or a refine result appears, note the time on the Windows taskbar. Compare it with when recording started and you know exactly how many minutes in it is, so you can jump straight there even in a recording hours long.
- 3Skip waiting time with the scrub barStretches of waiting for a boss or grinding in one spot barely change on screen. Take big jumps along the scrub bar and slow down where skill effects multiply or people start gathering, and you'll find the start of an MVP fight or siege quickly.
- 4Start card drops just before the killA clip of only the card hitting the ground doesn't show where or what you killed. Keep everything from just before the monster falls to when you pick up the card, and the viewer feels the weight of that moment with you.
- 5Cut tight around your character in 1:1Ragnarok's camera follows your character so it stays centered, which means card drops and refine results still keep what matters in a 1:1 cut. Leave only scenes where fighting fills the screen, like siege, in 16:9.
- 6Join several scenes for your guild's siege videoSiege fights happen in several places, so trim a few scenes, merge them in DOR Studio in your browser, and add text with the time or location. Guildmates then see the whole night's flow in one go.
- 7Paste the link in your guild chatVideos you make with the trim tool or in Studio are shared as dor.gg links. Paste one into your guild group chat or Discord, and guildmates play it in a browser without installing the app.
Ragnarok Online decisive moments: how to find them and how much to cut
| Moment | Cue for the decisive second | Cut range and ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Card drop | A card item falling where the monster went down | 8 to 10 seconds from just before the kill to pickup, 1:1 |
| MVP boss kill | The boss falling as party and guild chat floods at once | Last exchange to 10 seconds after the kill, 16:9 |
| Refine success or failure | The result appearing after handing gear to the NPC | 5 seconds before the result and 5 of reaction, 1:1 |
| Siege fight | Guildmates packed into one spot with skill effects overlapping | 30 to 60 seconds from the start of the clash, 16:9 |
| Job change | Finishing the NPC dialogue as your character's look changes | 10 seconds from the end of the dialogue, 9:16 |
| Escaping trouble in a party hunt | Health bottoming out and surviving on a heal or revive | 20 to 30 seconds from where it went wrong, 16:9 |
Checklist before you send
- Ragnarok Online is on under 'full-play recording' in settings.
- You noted the time of the decisive moment and worked out its place in the recording.
- The card drop clip includes the monster going down.
- The moment the refine result appears isn't cut off.
- The siege clip is in 16:9 because the scene is crowded.
- You cleared well over 20GB of free disk space before a long grind.
How DOR records Ragnarok Online
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. When you launch Ragnarok Online, it detects the game and records one mp4 until you close it; it doesn't cut card drops or MVP kills out as highlights on its own. You find the moment yourself in the app library, cut it with the trim tool, choose 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1, and a dor.gg link is created. For cutting a few exact seconds out of a recording hours long, see how to trim game clips. To weave several siege scenes, or a month of card drops, into one video, open DOR Studio in your browser with no install, merge clips, and add text and background music; how to merge multiple game clips covers the order to put them in. Download the result as an mp4 or share it as a link. Game sound and your mic are recorded together, so your reaction when the card drops stays in, and on days you don't need recording, you can switch this game's full-play recording off in settings, with a confirmation prompt when you do.
