Nevit's Advent Blessing

The increasing number of Shilen's followers and their immeasurable power of prayer has gradually led to the day of Shilen's resurrection. The angel Nevit has been calmly watching this event unfold and, one day, he shot the Arrow of Light down from the heavens. The arrow contained a vision of himself, which served to bolster religious devotion to Einhasad, the nemesis of Shilen. Those who were affected by this arrow became susceptible to hallucinations by the fantasy and power of the light.

The Hunting Bonus and its resulting Nevit's Advent Blessing are a new vitality-boost system that is a part of the Nevit's Blessings group, which also includes the Recommendation system. It affects any and all logged-in characters automatically. The basic function of this system is to give a character vitality-related boosts in direct relation with that character's experience point gain. Any time your character’s Hunting Bonus gauge reaches 100%, the Nevit's Advent Blessing effect is activated and lasts 3 minutes.

Details on your character’s current Hunting Bonus can be found in the game’s interface in the Nevit's Blessings window. This same window also houses details for the Recommendation System.

The bar below the words ‘Hunting Bonus’ is the Hunting Bonus gauge. The gauge fills as the character gains experience points, or through other means (see below). Once the gauge reaches 100%, your character receives Nevit's Advent Blessing.

This is announced by a sound effect, visual effects, and messages both on the screen and in the system messages of your chat window. The visual effects include a red light glowing on your character and the wings icon blinking next to your full Hunting Bonus gauge.

The effect of Nevit's Advent Blessing lasts 3 minutes, after which the red glow disappears and the Hunting Bonus gauge resets.

Effects of Nevit’s Advent Blessing:

• Vitality Recovery Effect: Regardless of your current Vitality level, your character receives an experience point bonus equivalent to Vitality level 4. This effect does not stack with other vitality recovery items.
• Vitality Replenishing Effect: Similar to being under the effect of a Vitality Replenishing Herb, you gain Vitalityas you gain experience points while hunting. This effect does not stack with other vitality replenishing buffs or items.
• Negated Death Penalty: No experience points are lost upon death.

Ways to Fill the Hunting Bonus Gauge:

• By gaining experience points from hunting. Experience points gained from Quests do not apply.
• By leveling up. Each time your character levels up, the Hunting Bonus gauge gets a big boost. The same amount of boost is given regardless of character level.
• By being logged in while the Hunting Bonus timer is activated. Similar to the Recommendation System timer, the Hunting Bonus is another timer that activates as soon as your character kills a monster and receives experience points.
  • As long as the Hunting Bonus timer is active, your character slowly accumulates points while logged in.
  • The Hunting Bonus timer lasts 4 hours and can only be activated once per day.
  • Every day at 6:30 a.m. server-time, your character’s use of the Hunting Bonus timer resets, allowing reactivation.
  • When the Hunting Bonus timer is active, the gradual increase to the Hunting Bonus gauge stacks with other methods.
  • The slow and automatic increase of your Hunting Bonus gauge continues even if your character is dead.
• By being randomly visited by the angel Nevit. While hunting, there is a random chance that you will be blessedby Nevit, giving a visible boost to your Hunting Bonus gauge. The arrival of Nevit is also announced in system messages.

The Hunting Bonus and Nevit's Advent Blessing apply to both normal and chaotic characters. However, chaotic characters with 6 or more PK points will receive an item-drop penalty.

The Hunting Bonus gauge applies to the respective character and is maintained regardless of Main/Subclass conversions.

The Hunting Bonus gauge and timer will not activate or grow if:

• You gain experience points from monsters 9 levels or more below you.
• You gain experience points while inside a Peace Zone.
• If active, the Hunting Bonus timer will pause when you enter a Peace Zone or become disconnected from the server.

Nevit's Herald

When Antharas or Valakas are defeated, Nevit's Herald appears in all towns and remains for 3 hours.

Nevit's Herald can give you the “Fall of the Dragon” buff, which freezes your Recommendation and Hunting Bonus timers for 3 hours, effectively letting you enjoy these bonuses longer.

Experience Points & Parties

The amount of experience points required for leveling up your character has decreased for players of level 78 or above, to quicken the journey to higher levels and content.
The Party System has been adjusted in favor of larger parties. Each party member will now receive bonus experience points depending on how many players are in the party:

• Party of 2 players: (Before) 30% (Now) 10% experience point bonus.
• Party of 3 players: (Before) 39% (Now) 20% experience point bonus.

• Party of 8 players: (Before) 67% (Now) 110% experience point bonus.
• Party of 9 players: (Before) 72% (Now) 120% experience point bonus.

The experience point penalties for excessive differences in the level of party members has been changed. If the lowest and highest level party members are causing a level gap, the lowest-level member will receive a penalty according to how many levels of difference there are:

• If the level gap between the highest and lowest party members is 9 levels or less, they will gain 100% of the XP as they will have no penalty.
• If the level gap between the highest and lowest party members is 10 to 14 levels, the lowest party member will gain only 30% of the XP that others receive.
• If the level gap between the highest and lowest party members is 15 levels or more, the lowest party member will not receive any XP.

The Party Matching System has been improved.

• You can now check the name and class of the members in a particular party-matching room from outside.

Modifications to the Game World

When the fourth seal was broken, Shilen, the Goddess of Destruction, awakened from a long sleep in the darkness. In effort to eliminate the remaining three seals that confined her soul, Shilen sacrificed her followers in the Necropolis and Catacombs, using their dark energy to summon the "Black Moon," which would be her eyes upon the world.

When Shilen exhaled bloody air, the sky turned red. Fear and anxiety encroached upon the world. Soon, when Shilen sprayed her blood over the continent, monsters drank her blood and became extremely violent!

As the return of the Goddess of Destruction approaches, ominous changes to the gameworld set the stage for the events to come. The overall luminosity as the game world approaches and enters the night is now significantly dark red. Shilen's stunning, red "Dark Moon" watches from the sky at night. Rain that seems to be made of blood falls occasionally at night throughout the land, creating red mists over the ground.
