Player Competition

The arena offers consensual turn-based sparring through invitations at any time. It is separate from forced field PvP.

Arena participants must agree and suffer no ordinary death losses. Forced PvP needs no defender consent and carries penalties.

Use the official arena entrance from Morning Star Capital, then enter the ring area to select an opponent.

Find the administrator in the southern part of Morning Star Capital Arena. His services include enabling permission to initiate forced PvP.

Open invitation sparring is confirmed. Honor rankings are a separate settlement; scheduled tournaments have their own registration, format and rewards.

Enter the ring, open another player's details and send a PvP invitation. Combat begins after both sides accept.

Arrange parties of 1–5 per side. Actual participants must be eligible and consent; unequal party sizes are allowed.

Yes, if they are eligible opponents. Friendship does not replace participant consent or automatically form a party.

Sparring eligibility and scoring eligibility are separate. Do not apply forced PvP's Lv40 requirement to the arena; original level-group scoring rules apply.

Yes, deploy your own eligible Phantom Beast. An opponent's or undeployed Beast cannot act for you.

Control your character and deployed Beast according to turn order. Coordinate attacks, seals, defense and recovery.

The official combat outcome decides the match. One character falling does not automatically mean team defeat; tournaments may differ.

Disconnection is not an immediate victory. Reconnect within the permitted period; the server resolves timeouts without promising automatic rewards.

Use only the exit or flee actions that the current match permits. Field escape effects do not grant unrestricted arena exit.

Ordinary arena sparring has no ordinary death EXP loss. The field PvP minimum loss of 500 does not apply.

Ordinary arena sparring has no death Gold penalty and creates no Gold debt from defeat.

Ordinary arena sparring has no ordinary death item loss. The forced-PvP attacker's destruction penalty does not apply.

Ordinary sparring does not use forced-PvP reputation penalties. Arena honor points are separate from personal reputation.

Characters and deployed Beasts recover after ordinary matches and return to the arena, rather than the capital's Adventurer.

Eligible results award +5 for victory and −5 for defeat. Total points cannot fall below 0; monthly points can be negative. Not every duel scores.

Ordinary duels affect honor and rankings without direct economic rewards such as Gold. See the relevant guides for ranking titles and tournament prizes.

Finish the current match, clear combat occupancy and obtain consent again. Repeated duels do not guarantee points every time.

Official reconnection and hosting rules apply. Disconnection cannot be used to swap in another character; the server resolves timeouts.

The ordinary arena offers invitations all day. Garden, Capital War, Light War and Light Championship have separate schedules, eligibility and rewards.

Check HP, MP, equipment, deployed Beasts and party members. Assign damage, healing, sealing and protection roles and coordinate turn order.

An eligible player starts combat against another player in an allowed outdoor area without the defender's consent. Field penalties make it risky.

Enable and check permission at the Arena Administrator. Each attacker needs permission; defenders need not enable initiation permission.

All actual attackers and defenders must be Lv40 or higher. The leader's level does not qualify other members.

No. A legal forced-PvP initiation enters combat directly, unlike an arena invitation requiring mutual consent.

Only approved ordinary outdoor field areas, with both sides in the same map and instance. Safe zones, interiors and prohibited areas are excluded.

The three racial villages and Morning Star Capital are safe towns, not forced-PvP fields. Invitations cannot bypass their restrictions.

Yes, up to 5 characters per side, with unequal sizes allowed. The attacking leader must check every attacker's level and permission.

No. Each attacking participant must reach Lv40, enable permission and be free of truce or other blocking states.

Up to 5 characters per side, or 5v5. Eligible deployed Beasts participate separately under deployment rules.

No. Remaining eligible units may continue. Area attacks can down several characters, and final conditions still determine the outcome.

A character legally revived before the end and alive at the end receives no death EXP penalty for an earlier fall. Final qualifying deaths are penalized.

The final state of characters and eligible deployed Beasts decides the result. The first character death is not decisive; surviving Beasts can matter.

Final dead characters return near the official Adventurer in Morning Star Capital with 1 HP and 1 MP. Survivors keep their valid field positions.

Final dead characters leave; survivors keep their party. A surviving eligible member succeeds a dead leader.

Nonnegative EXP loses 10%, minimum 500. Negative EXP loses 2% of the current level's upgrade requirement, minimum 500. At Lv129, use Lv128→129: 2,698,840 per death.

Yes. Further deaths increase debt under the negative-EXP rule. Lv129 uses the approved capped-level reference; there is no Lv130.

No character level, class proficiency, Phantom Beast knowledge or work proficiency is reduced. Later EXP should repay debt gradually; the small-reward fix still awaits formal integration.

Final dead characters lose 10% of the absolute Gold balance: 1000→900, −1000→−1100, and 0 remains 0.

Death can create or deepen Gold debt, repaid by future income. Purchases, trades and repairs still require valid funds.

No. A final dead attacker loses one eligible inventory item unit or equipped item through destruction. Defenders do not receive this attacker-only penalty.

Attacking participants lose a base 200 reputation, plus 10 for each final dead defender. Personal reputation cannot fall below 0; other penalties remain role-specific.

A successful attacker escape costs an extra 500 reputation. Escape must be allowed; the Escape Doll and Escape gear can combine, while enemy Pursuit can counter the doll. Success is not unconditional.

A final dead defender receives 24-hour PvP protection and cannot be a legal forced-PvP target during it. Settled penalties are not reversed. Initiating forced PvP removes your own PvP protection.

Reaching 5 daily PvP deaths grants a 24-hour truce. Daily counts reset at server time 05:00; the reset does not end an unexpired truce.

Check settlement, party, HP/MP and protection before recovering safely and repaying debt. Avoid repeated submissions, risky outings and unnecessary valuable items.
