FAQ

How do I level up?
Old school style. There will be no EXP zone or dungeon for power leveling. The way to level up is by farming mobs in the new map and completing quests.

Will the new map have boosted EXP?
Yes. Mobs in the new area give very good EXP. Based on average daily kills (55k to 85k per day), without quest EXP it would take around 45 days to go from Level 121 to 135. With all 132 new quests, it would take about 28 days to go from Level 121 to 135.

Important: EXP rates will not be modified. No additional EXP zones will be added for fast leveling.

Is the new map restricted?
Yes. Tomes cannot be used in this area to prevent power leveling. This zone is exclusive for Lv121+ players.

Will Dragon Mountain disappear? Do we need to leave before the update?
No. Dragon Mountain will still be used for mini-bosses, bosses, and some mobs in certain areas for different quests.

How do we obtain the new Awakened gear?
Crafting. You will need to gather materials to create your gear. Genesis Armor will also be used as a crafting material.

Will I keep my Gems, Embeds, and Imbues when using my Genesis Armor?
No. Everything will be lost. This is not up for discussion or debate.

What stats are needed for the new area?
Minimum 9.8k DEF.

Mini-Bosses?
In Dragon Mountain, at Empyrean Gate, a mini-boss will spawn every 4 hours every day and will last for 1 hour. You must defeat it within that hour. This mini-boss is essential for a special quest drop. Pay attention to this!

Stat Stones?
This item is exclusive for Awakened weapons Lv130. You can add one extra line to your weapon, choosing from 14 available lines.

If my weapon already has a high imbue, can I use stat stones without losing the imbue?
Yes. There is an item to protect your imbue when using stat stones on your weapon.
