THE FESTIVAL OF
DARKNESS
Among the players participating in the
Festival of Darkness, the party that records the best score in each level will
contribute points to their Cabal. The Festival of Darkness is divided by level
and any players belonging to either of the Cabals can participate.
A party comprised of 5 to 9 members
participates in the Festival of Darkness.
- How to Participate: Players may participate only during the competition period. The party wishing to participate should pay Seal Stones to the Guide of the Festival in the Oracle. Priests in towns will teleport you to the Festival for free. Entry fees vary depending on level, and must be paid by party leaders. Parties must consist of a minimum of 5 members belonging to the same Cabal. Members of each party must correspond to the level of the Festival in which they want to participate. Characters who correspond to the level of the Festival, but who have higher level skills than the party members, may not participate. This happens when the character is de-leveled, but his skills learned from the previous higher level remain. These challenges are always possible during the competition period and there is no limit in the number of challenges.
- Place of the Festival: During the Festival, items are not dropped on death and experience loss is reduced by one-fourth. However, chaotic players may still drop items upon death. In the center magic array of the Festival, recovery of MP is faster than elsewhere. Players can be teleported to the Festival and can return to their original location free of charge through the Priest of each village. Upon death, players restart inside the room. The place where the Festival of Darkness occurs.

- Process
Teleporting to the battleground is possible
only two minutes before the Festival of Darkness begins. Once enrollment is
completed through the Festival Guide, parties are immediately teleported to the
Festival location. After two minutes of prep time, the Festival begins and
continues for 18 minutes while the participants kill the monsters and collect
the 'Blood of Sacrifice'. The number collected corresponds to the score
registered in the Festival of Darkness. All of the 'Blood of Sacrifice'
acquired from the hunt is automatically given to the party leader.
During the Festival the party leader will
obtain 'Blood of Sacrifice'.
If the party feels the need to leave the
Festival early they can do so via the Festival Witch located in the center of
the room. If they think the Festival needed added challenge, then they can
request stronger minions from the Festival Witch. The stronger the monster
killed, the more ‘Blood of Sacrifice’ they can acquire. If pets are used to
hunt in the Festival then the drop chances for Blood of Sacrifice will be
lowered.
- Registering Your Score: After the Festival ends, the leader of the party must register the result to the Guide of the Festival within 40 minutes. Please note that if the party fails to register within this time, the result will become invalid. If the registered result is lower than the previous highest record, the record is not updated.
- Prize:
After the competition period ends and their Cabal has won, party members
who set the highest score for each grade can receive Ancient Adena as
compensation from the Festival Guide. Although a party may set the high
score for a specific level, they cannot receive a prize if the Cabal they
belong to loses. Please note that the prize is paid only before the start
of the next competition period.
