+## Ragnarok File Formats
+
+Gravity created a number of custom file formats for [Arcturus](/arcturus), which they later adapted for the RO client.
+This documentation differentiates between them only as far as is necessary to understand their many unused (and oftentimes strange) features.
+
+### Asset Containers
+
+Bundling many small files in a [BLOB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage) "archive" can help minimize the disk footprint and speed up loading times:
+
+- [GRF](/file-formats/GRF): Most of the game assets are stored in this large storage container, potentially compressed and/or encrypted
+- [RGZ](/file-formats/RGZ): The RO client includes a "Patch Client" that downloads most updates in this compressed storage format
+- [GPF](/file-formats/GPF): Another extension used the the game's updater, which however seems to just be an alias for GRF files
+- [PAK](/file-formats/PAK): Arcturus and early RO clients use a different format, the origins of which aren't quite clear to me at this time
+
+Although modern SSDs have different performance characteristics than mechanical HDDs, the game continues to rely on asset containers as a virtual file system. Most frequently-accessed files must therefore be extracted in-memory or on disk.
+
+### Raster Images
+
+A combination of standard and custom-made image formats see use in the RO client:
+
+- [BMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format): Most of the sprites and textures mapped to 3D geometry exists as raw bitmap
+- PAL: They're lookup tables that store [palette](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palette_(computing)>) colors for the indexed-color image formats
+- [TGA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA): Truecolor images with transparency exist for many effects and some monster sprites
+- [JPG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG): These appear to be fairly rare, but in a few instances JPEG textures were assigned
+- [EBM](/file-formats/ebm): Guild emblems are also bitmaps, but the RO client compresses them first
+
+Other formats may include image data as well, but it's usually combined with other metadata.
+
+### Map Definitions
+
+- Map files: RSW, GND, GAT
+
+### 2D Sprites
+
+- 2D sprites and effects: SPR, ACT, , IMF, , STR, EZV (, , )
+
+### 3D Models
+
+TODO: RSM, RSM2, GR2, Arcturus (RMA?)
+
+- 3D models: RSM, RSM2, GR2 (see RAD website)
+
+### Multimedia
+
+Although both games contain various multimedia formats, they will not be fully specified here:
+
+- [WAV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV): Sound effects and music-like jingles/songs utilize the waveform audio format
+- [MP3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3): All of the background music ("BGM") tracks use this standard audio format
+- [BIK](/file-formats): Video textures in [Bink](https://www.radgametools.com/bnkmain.htm) format; introduced recently and so far extremely niche
+- [ADP](/file-formats/adp): Arcturus stores its music tracks in [ADPCM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_differential_pulse-code_modulation) format, with a fairly arcane codec
+
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+Anything that doesn't fit the above criteria - most of these aren't particularly relevant:
+
+- Scripts: Lua and LUB (see Lua website)
