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 -->ïƒ 1, exp will increase by 50%
Vitality Level 1 -->ïƒ 2, exp will increase by 33%
Vitality Level 2 -->ïƒ 3, exp will increase by 25%
Vitality Level 3 -->ïƒ 4, exp will increase by 20%
In other words, from level 0 --> 4, the exp will be 3 times the original
