• Growth play on specialized server

On the Ascend server, you can reach max level and collect Kinah just by following mission quests! We've increased the XP and Kinah rewards for faction and class-specific mission quests to make the early gameplay more enjoyable.

With the update, we reduced the number of missions you need to complete and increased the rewards for those missions so that you can progress faster, get most of the things you need to grow as you progress, and become eligible to ascend at level 5.

Also, Key Skills can be acquired automatically as you level up.

Just completed the Ascension and accumulated this much Kinah in inventory! Kinah is also provided according to the level of Executor and Brawler.	That moment when you're debating whether to buy the '+22% Movement Speed Shoes' from the PvP Equipment Merchant in Metropolis.

Tip 1. If you want to progress through mission quests faster than anyone else, we recommend [Teleport].

Major mission quests and growth quests are designed to take you directly to where you need to be in the region.

Tap the Teleport button in the quest window, or the button in the quest window on the right side of the screen, to quickly tackle mission quests.

Tip 2. When progressing through mission quests, if the low level makes it difficult to proceed, try using flight to your advantage.

While flying, you can target quest objects or dodge attacks from monsters stronger than you.

Use Kinah to purchase the Stigma you need to grow.
