Question: Paralyze skills like anchor, are they bugged?

Answer: No, since a while back on retail the way paralyze skills work changed, for example when you cast anchor on someone and it lands, they are initially debuffed for 10-15 seconds in which the debuff lowers their run speed, atk speed, and casting speed, but after that 10-15 seconds the paralyze kicks in and your enemy wont be able to move till the paralyze fades.

Question: What are all these weird items?

Answer: Information about how to obtain our custom currencies/items, and what they are used for can be found by typing .info then click "items".


Question: Enchanting seems really hard, is it bugged?

Answer: No enchanting is not bugged, the enchant rates are 70% regular, 75% blessed, and 100% Crystal (crystal only drops from valakas/antharas). If you still think its bugged ill try to explain the probability of enchanting if you have not learned it in a math class.

+7 to +8: 70^1 = 70% chance of success, but if you stack the overall probability on something its gona look like this
chance of +7 to +9: 70%^2 = 49%
chance of +7 to +10: 70%^3 = 34.3%
chance of +7 to +11: 70%^4 = 24%
chance of +7 to +12: 70%^5 = 16.8%
chance of +7 to +13: 70%^6 = 11.7%
chance of +7 to +14: 70%^7 = 8.2%
chance of +7 to +15: 70%^8 = 5.7%
chance of +7 to +16: 70%^9 = 4%
chance of +7 to +17: 70%^10 = 2.8%
chance of +7 to +18: 70%^11 = 1.9%
chance of +7 to +19: 70%^12 = 1.3%
chance of +7 to +20: 70%^13 = ~1%
Summary: Enchanting is not bugged, its just basic math and obviously a lot of people cannot grasp it. If you didnt understand this before, I hope this helps!


Question: How do you get elemental stones?

Answer: There are several different ways to get them! 1.) Elmore hillside monsters drop them at around a 15% rate, you can also buy them in the spoil section of the GM Shop by using a Bounty Hunter/Fortune Seeker to spoil Extracted Red Star Stones that spoil from all Elmore Hillside specific monsters, or by spoiling Extracted Green Star Stones that spoil from all VoL/Frozen Specific mobs. 2.) Solo Instance Event (infiltration) allows you get get elemental stones, you have a chance of saving a Elf inside the instance, if you do you have the chance of getting 5 Elemental stones, also you have a chance of getting another 5 after killing Naglfar. You can get them one at a time too from Blistering Fleshes. 3.) Group Instance event (Mutilation) , the raids in this instance event drop around 15 elemental stones. 4.) EVENTS!, If you win TvT you get Festival Adena which can be used to buy elmental stones, not to mention your prize box can also give you 8 stones. Also Rabbit Chest Events, Invasion Events, and Hide-N-Seek events can give Elemental stones. 5.) If you write a review for our server on hopzone, we will personally give you 15 Elemental Stones of your choice, remember we are not asking anyone to lie about our server or give a perfect score you can be honest, but try to be positive and tell people what you like about our server. 6.) If you simply dont want to do any of this you have the option of donating for +150 element on your weapon, or +60 on your armor.

They also drop from Group Instance event raids. You can get weapons and peices of armor from winning TvT! Some GM hosted events elegia and top S84 weapons are given as rewards.


Question: As a High Rate server, why arent things super easy.

Answer: We have our own philosophy, we admit we dont cater to the normal high rate audiance. Our server is setup for some things to be easy, but some things that need to be worked for. Are we a PvP server? In the aspect that we promote PvP, yes! Often times when a server is called a PvP server its assumed things are super easy...so it depends on how you mean it. If this is not the type of gameplay you want thats ok, you may leave at any time :).

The 3rd book may be obtained in the GM Shop under Luxury then Items with apiga earned from the solo instance event or by killing Baium, Antharas, or Valakas. The 4th and final book is only obtainable the retail way which is through olympiad using your tokens.


Question: How do you get Blessed Scrolls?

Answer: S Grade Blessed Enchants can be obtained through Events like TvT, CTF, drops from Custom and Epic Raids, drops at a low rate from VoL/Frozen Waterfall mobs, drops from T-Rex mob at VoL at 20% rate. Also they may be purchased from the GM Shop with Kinship Crystals.


Question: Whats up with mp pots here?

Answer: Although this may be a particularly hard concept for most poeple to understand, our mp system is set to "mp over time" for example if you use a mp potion you will get a buff for 20 seconds that restores your mp over time, over this 20 second period 1056 MP will ber restored which is still ALOT of MP. Why would anyone ever do this you may think, well its simple it increases balance and makes many game mechanics that used to be useless, very useful! For example skills such as Mana Drain, Aura Sink, Body to mind, Recharge, Magical Backfire, Counter Mind, Arcane Wisdom, Mana Gain, Higher Mana Gain, Mental Impervish, Skill Enchanting for "Cost", MP elixirs and any other mp skills/items useful in open PvP, so classes such as healers/ buffers have much more fuctionality. With this mp system you wont have to worry about certain classes being OP, for example Bishops can no longer spam battle heal forever with this mp system which makes other servers PvP extremely flawed. This system brings back much more strategy to the game! Please read below for more information.


Question: Then how can healers be effective in raids with only heal over time MP pots?

Answer: Healers here all have the "Recharge" skill that restores MP that they can use even on themselves! This allows healers to manage their MP in Raids and PvP, and restore other players MP as well without being unstopable, for more information about the rechrage skill type .info then click Modified Class Info.


Question: How can nukers and other mp consuming classes be Playable?

Answer: At first glance all players ASSUME that nukers etc are not playable, and for those who think that are mistaken and never correctly learned how to play a nuker class. Nukers can still use their nukes non stop if they choose to, you just have to be smarter about it, and maybe learn how to actually play a class for once. Here are some TIPS!

Tip for everyone: Use MP pots at the correct time. : Dont wait till you have only 10% MP left to use a MP potion... use them as soon as you start nuking something and try not to let your MP get low.

Tip for nukers: Use Body To Mind, its been modded! : Use the skill body To Mind to help restore your MP, on our server this skill gives 50% more MP! Also dont forget MP/HP herbs that drop on the ground from mobs they can be used to help your mp directly, or give you HP to do Body To Mind more often!

Tip for everyone: Choose your buffs wisely! : Buffs such as Clarity, Song of Meditation, and Blessing of seraphim decrease MP consumtion by alot/ or increase MP regeneration which makes skills take less mp or easier makes your mp easier to maintain! But skills such as Arcane Power and Empowering echo increase your mp consumption, making your mp go down faster, making it harder to keep your mp up.

Tip for nukers: Learn what skills to use. : All nukes dont have the same MP cost, so pay attention! Drains such as Vampiric Claw and Steal Essance take MASSIVE amounts of mp compared to normal nukes so only use them when you actually need them. While nukes such as death spike take even less MP then nukes such as hurricane but do the same damage, just its a different element!

Tip for healers: take advantage of your unique toggle. : All healers and buffers have the toggle Arcane wisdom that decreases mp consumption dramaticaly , you can even enchant it to be more MP efficient!

Summary: Alot of players have only played private servers where MP pots restore massive amounts of mp at a time, so they are used to this method and never learned how to manage their mp, when in fact its quite simple and easy to do.
