Guardian System: Reward
- Cumulated buff: when an apprentice starts hunting, the cumulated buff activates at the top left and a fixed rate of earned experience accumulates. After 24 hours it stops accumulating; a transfer restarts the accumulation.
- Accumulate buff: when the apprentice left-clicks the cumulated buff to transfer, 20% goes to the guardian and 80% to the apprentice as an accumulate buff (the guardian stacks it from all apprentices). While active, 10 points are consumed per monster and +10% experience applies; the buff disappears when the points run out.
- Honor Grade & Honor Rank: graduations earn the guardian evaluation points. The top-50 honor ranking renews daily at 00:00 server time; ties favor the earlier collector. Entering the ranking requires at least 10 points, and the honor grade grants extra experience. The ranking can be viewed at the storage NPC.
- Even if you were ranked before, you are removed from the ranking if minus evaluations drop you below 10 points. The extra experience award is shown as a buff icon and stacks with similar items and skills.
- Honor Point: Honor points are calculated by subtracting the level at which the apprentice first joined from 40. Example: an apprentice who joined an academy at level 5 and graduated at level 40 earns 35 honor points (40 − 5 = 35). Points are checked in the character window [C]; if you belong to an academy the points are shown, otherwise it displays “not joined”.
- Honor Item: Guardians can purchase honor items from the storage NPC with their accumulated honor points; the price is deducted from the points. Only guardians can buy them, and both enough honor points and enough gold are required at the same time.
- Honor items cannot be destroyed, traded, dropped or exchanged (selling to an NPC is permitted). Equipment-type honor items carry the “Available Number of Repair” magic option; when it reaches 0 the item can no longer be repaired. The number is increased through alchemy with the Magic Stone of Honor.
