Vitality System

  • Vitality System allows players to gain extra exp when hunting.
  • When players go off line / enter safe zone / killed RAID/BOSS, they will receive Vitality Points (VP)
  • When vp is cumulated, players will be able to level up their Vitality Levels.
  • When players are hunting normal mobs, vp will be used in exchange for higher exp.
  • Players’ total vp/ vitality level can be viewed from the status bar
  • There are a total of 4 levels of vitality levels, at level 4 players will get 4 times the exp, at level 3, 3 times the exp.
  • VP is exhausted based on exp gain, not based on hunting time.
  • When players are in a safe zone for approx 8 – 9 hours, they will gain 1 vitality level. (Unfortunately a lot of us will exhaust our CPU/RAM thanks for this feature.)
  • After killing a RAID / BOSS, the system will notify the players how many vp they have earned.
  • During the PTS, there was a testing of killing 4 (not sure what mob), gaining 1 vitality level.
  • Vitality Level 0 --> 1, exp will increase by 50%
  • Vitality Level 1 --> 2, exp will increase by 33%
  • Vitality Level 2 --> 3, exp will increase by 25%
  • Vitality Level 3 --> 4, exp will increase by 20%
  • In other words, from level 0 --> 4, the exp will be 3 times the original
