Story

Welcome to Bloody Ice. This place lies in the hinterland that is even more north and to the west of the northernmost polis, Polis Hellenia, in the Cont. Midreth. It is a special government colony established under special orders by the Sage Sirius and under the direct jurisdiction of the Tower of Sages. I will serve the role of imparting to you news received from the Tower and various information heard from the outside. But first and foremost, I shall help you to acclimatize yourself to this place as quickly as possible.

I believe the first step would be to learn what is where, isn't that so? As the dealers are most familiar with this place, go and meet them. It should prove to be of great help. By the way, you should have the map of this place as well as the GPS. If you press the M key to open the window, you'll see the location of each dealer in addition to the overall map. First, go and meet the armor dealer.

As is the case here, it would be unwise to take the dealers, who reside in colonies that lie in such harsh regions, lightly. As they have their own solid network, at times, they have access to more information than even officials like us.

Huh? You are a new face. In this weather, are you okay in such attire? Our Cont. Midreth is famous for armor made from metals and leather, which offer excellent thermal insulation corresponding to the continental climate. When you are able, indeed, find yourself some better armor. I sell Armor Suits for use by Warriors and Force Shielders and Gladiators Oh yes, have you tried opening your inventory? Press just 'I' when you want to open inventory.

If you open your inventory, or namely your equipment window, you will find a helmet. You can equip it by dragging the item over to the head part shown on the equipment window, using the left mouse button. Or, you can just right click on the item.

If you put on the helmet, you will be able to instantly see the effect on your full set equipment'. Equipping all the armor items of the same level will raise your defensive ability and defense rate. Press the 'O' hotkey to open the menu window and click the 'Options' button. If you check the View Helmet box in the 'Preferences' tab, you will be able to view your appearance with the helmet on.

Equipping sturdy armor in full scale is more important to your protection than wielding a powerful weapon. Take care to always suit yourself in armor that corresponds with your skill level.

We core alchemists are the most familiar with the core next to those who are associated with the Tower. Have you come for an upgrade? Ah, this is your first visit, you say? I offer magic weapons, accessories such as rings and necklaces, as well as return stones for sale.

Are you the fighter who just arrived? It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am the weapons dealer, Prewitt. I deal primarily in the weapons that are used by Warriors and Force Shielders and 32 Gladiators . By the way, do you know how to rotate the screen? You can rotate the screen by moving the mouse while holding down on the right button of the mouse. Okay, Why don't you meet Warehouse Keeper?

Welcome! I'm Agent Fisher of Nevareth Port Express, Bloody Ice Branch. To give you some background on our Nevareth Port Express, it is the largest distribution company operating in Nevareth with a history of approximately 320 years. Covering the central areas of the polises all the way to such frontier hinterland areas, we help you can store and withdraw items of any sort anywhere via our service. In short, it's a Warehouse Service.

Using core technology, the unique vision of our company has allowed us to be the only provider of a type of virtual space to offer such service. Anyone who wishes to use our service must open an account, and each account can be used by a total of six customers. Also, celebrating the establishment of branches in special government colonies, we are holding an event in which trainees here can open accounts free of cost.

Ah, of course. I will open one for you right now. If you can manage the minimal usage fees, you will be able to enjoy Nevareth's best storage service. Right then, best of luck to you from hereon in.

Well done. Although we are a special government colony, in truth, our environment is not so great in comparison with other colonies. However, as such, if you carry on with more diligence than others, you shall enjoy good results. Here is the small quantity of potion as well as settlement funds that are given by policy to all trainees.

By the way, you have not yet had the chance to learn a new skill, have you? After reaching level 2, if you go to the instructor, you will receive much advice. Your training will begin in earnest from that point forward.

Right, it is time now to inform you of a bare necessity. If you are going to get by in a fighter colony, you will need the fundamental hunting skills that will serve to protect you at the least. However, before getting to that, if you cannot view the village map, you certainly will not know where and what type of monsters exist, correct? Obviously, this goes for everything as you will not know what and where anything is.

You'll see a town map with a map code in the GPS window. Besides the map code, you'll also obtain a Warp Code later. If you obtain a warp code, your Warp Points will be activated in the GPS window. Click it and you'll be able to use a Return Stone and get teleported.

Aside from that, you will also see the Hunting Difficulty Level and a mark that shows where to go after accepting a quest. What do you think about the GPS window? Isn't it reassuring?

Aside from that, you will also see the Hunting Difficulty Level and a mark that shows where to go after accepting a quest. What do you think about the GPS window? Isn't it reassuring?

To all fighter of Nevareth, I welcome you. I am the instructor, or teacher, who will take charge from this point on of your training.

Do you have any battle experience? If not, I'll give you a brief description of how you can fight in a battle. Left click a monster and then click a Hot key for one of the skills in the quick slots, or right click a skill icon in the Skill window or quick slot to use the skill you have just chosen.

The empty square boxes from [1] to [=] you see at the bottom of the screen are quick slots. In other words, it's the Hot Key Window. The letters written over each of the empty boxes are the Hot keys.

Okay, take this weapon outside this town Kill Nipperlugs. Getting the 'feel' of it is the first step. You can easily pick up the Alz and items dropped by a monster simply by pressing Spacebar.

You can see Nipperlugs when you go outside the town. It's not a powerful monster, so you should be able to beat it if you remain calm while fighting. And don't forget to use the potions at the right timing.

How was it? Was it hard? You did good, considering it was your first time. As a gift, I'll give you a skill. I'll give you Force Stab, which is a skill for stabbing targets with Force. I hope you to put it to good use.

Right, as you've obtained a new skill, you should be able to feel how much more powerful you've become. However, there is nothing more sure than experience! Go and hunt some Nippertrica which is called the leader of Nipper Lug. Use your new skill as much as possible. Also, hunt some Rabbithorns to familiarize yourself with new skill.

The monsters found close to the village in the outskirts provide good practice for novices.

How was it, was the hunting not vastly easier than it was before? You see, each skill exhibits power that exceeds one's own ability. Going forward, I hope you will train diligently to attain even more skills, as well as go on to even learn hidden skills. I will give you a skill as an extra reward. It is a skill called Vitality Mastery, an upgrade skill that increases you HP. Keep up the good work with your training!

Have you ever heard about the GPS warp? You may have tried it out already, but let me explain: To get to other areas, you either go through warp gates or use the GPS warp.. As this place is relatively new in its establishment and due to the fact that it lies on the frontier, to date, connection has been made to only two other areas. While we are on this subject, would you like to try going to those places?

Good. Go to Desert Scream and meet the instructor there.. If you go to the warp gate and pass through the door adorned with the yellow pattern of a pupil of an eye that symbolizes the sun, it will take you to Desert Scream. Oh, if you can use the GPS warp, you can go there directly.

Pardon? You say you came after speaking with O'Conner? Your travel here to further your training is praiseworthy. Then, as I shall give you a mission, are you up to the task?

Good. Go to Desert Scream and meet the instructor there.. If you go to the warp gate and pass through the door adorned with the yellow pattern of a pupil of an eye that symbolizes the sun, it will take you to Desert Scream. If you can warp, You don't have to go to the warp gate. You can go to Desert Scream right away through GPS.

What? O'Conner sent you here? I gotta give you an award for coming all the way down here for training. I have a little mission for you. Are you interested?

Then go get some rest. I will put together some useful information for you in the meantime.

This place is called Desert Scream. Only the strong can survive here. I am Gette, the resident instructor in charge of educating trainees. If you share the goal to become a strong fighter, I shall provide you with a mission.

Your mission is to go and hunt a Giant Beetle. Will you do it?

You are not already exhausted, are you? If facing the Giant Beetle is difficult, then life here will definitely prove strenuous. Come, muster your strength. Anyone can have a hard time of it on the first go-around.

You've completed the mission. Right then, go now to Green Despair. I will notify the instructor there in advance. When you arrive, she too should have a mission for you.

To go to Green Despair, go to the warp gate and pass through the door adorned with the green pattern of a five-leaf plant. Oh, if you can use the GPS warp, you can go to Green Despair directly.

So you are the fighter whom Getto mentioned. Let me directly introduce this place. At one end of the dense jungle lies the 'Tree of Life Forest' in which trees of great magnitude grow.

I am the instructor Kallua who will take charge from this point on of your training. Do not delude yourself by thinking my traning will be easy because I am a woman. Alright, I shall give you a mission of Green Despair. Go outside the village and hunt a Troglo. Can you do it?

You are not already exhausted, are you? If facing the Troglo is difficult, then life here will definitely prove strenuous. Come, muster your strength. Anyone can have a hard time of it on the first go-around.

Well done. With this, you have now completed the training course in both Desert Scream and Green Dispair. Excellent. I shall write a certificate confirming your completion of the training course here. Wait a moment while I prepare it.

Right, here is the certificate confirming your completion of the training course here.

Take it back to Bloody Ice and show it to the instructor there. You can use the warp gate as you did when you came. Oh, if you can use the GPS warp, you can go to Bloody Ice directly.

If you show this to the instructor upon your return to Bloody Ice, you shall receive a suitable reward. You can use the warp gate as you did when you came.

Take it back to Bloody Ice and show it to the instructor there. You can use the warp gate as you did when you came. Oh, if you can use the GPS warp, you can go to Desert Scream directly.

This is a certificate attesting to your completion of all the training courses of the existing special government colonies! You have performed brilliantly. I don't recall seeing any trainee reach completion so quickly. I see you have great growth potential.

As your journey must have been strenuous, get some rest. I will make sure an ample reward is endowed on such an outstanding trainee as you. I hope you maintain your dedication.

Do you know that you can use either an upgrade core or Force core to upgrade your equipment? If you wish to learn more detail, go see the magic dealer. Those dealers are also known as 'core alchemists.'

Although the upgrade core and Force core are very difficult to procure, it's said that the magic dealer owns a number of such special cores for educational purposes and has hidden them in various places. As only magic dealers can execute the refinement process to produce true cores, do not have the false notion that you can perform an upgrade if you happen to come upon such a core.

I see you've come after speaking with the instructor. Then, I shall tell you about core upgrades. As the process involves several stages, listen carefully. You must go through the process to understand it thoroughly.

You can upgrade by using Upgrade Cores and Force Cores. Upgrade Cores allow you to upgrade your items. You can upgrade items up to +20. You can only upgrade items in the item upgrade UI. Keep in mind that you can access the item upgrade UI by right-clicking on an Upgrade Core, pressing the Upgrade button at the bottom left of the inventory screen, or through the Cabal menu�s Item Upgrade menu to the right of the Quickslot.

If you go and retrieve the upgrade core and equipment for upgrade that I've kept for practical purposes and have hidden, I will show you an upgrade monsterstration. You will be able to obtain the upgrade core from Scorlug in Bloody Ice, and the equipment for upgrade from Troglo Fighters in Green Despair.

Everything seems to be in order. As this core is one that I've hidden and kept for educational purposes, it would have been impossible for you to upgrade the item by yourself. I have to refine it, you see. As you may have noticed, you have to use items called Upgrade Cores in order to upgrade your items. Got it?

But that's not all. You still need to Adding Item Attribute by using a Force Core. If you want to know about Adding Attribute, take a short break and come back.

Okay, it's time to Adding item Attribute. You need a Force Core and Option Scroll in order to add an option to an item. You can add the option of this Option Scroll to an item.

But it doesn't mean all items are subject to Force Upgrade. Only the items with a Force Core Slot and of a certain level can be added with an item option. You'll see that some items have an Empty Square Box in Description. That's the Force Core Slot.

Indeed, while a Force core upgrade is quite expensive, as you've been so attentive, I will perform one for you at no charge. However, you must bring me the Force core I have hidden for practical purposes. You can obtain that Force core by going to Desert Scream and catching a Red Garlie.

I'll hold onto the equipment I upgraded for you last time. You can obtain that Force core by going to Desert Scream and catching a Red Garlie.

You've brought it back. As promised, I will perform a Force core upgrade for you. Wait one moment. Alright, finished. Now, these once ordinary gloves have been upgraded twice. You will need a Option Scroll, when you Adding Item Attribute directly. Option Scroll is obtained by extracting items by using the Item Extraction button below the inventory.

You will obtain a deeper understanding of it as you grow up. I hope you will cultivate various Adding item Attribute skills through ceaseless training.

This time, I'll inform you about levelling up your class rank. All fighters possess a particular battle style. As you gain ability and become more well-versed in your battle style, you can advance to higher class rank.

Such promotion occurs every 10 levels. Someone who passed a promotion test only can upgrade thier class rank. Today, in preparation of such a time, we'll stage a practice run. You can get detial from assistant. Keep it up.

Such promotion occurs every 10 levels. Someone who passed a promotion test only can upgrade thier class rank. Today, in preparation of such a time, we'll stage a practice run. You can get detial from assistant. Keep it up.

Report back to me after you've passed through the test dungeon. Indeed, when facing a true promotion, you must report back to an officer in order to upgrade your class rank.

Are you the fighter who has come for the promotion journey? Glad to meet you. I was informed and have been waiting for you. I am the assistant who will tell you about various matters related to promotion.

Your rank will go up at an increment of 10 levels. You will go through the step of promotion by clearing the Rank-Up Test at Rank-Up Test Site which guided by Colony Instructor. Sometimes you will be able to obtain a new skill along with your promotion. As such skills are essential and cannot be learned anywhere else, make sure to complete your promotions on time to become an even greater fighter.

If you wish to begin the promotion test, you must satisfy a required ability condition. This condition can be found on the Rank-Up stat requirement section of the character information window. Be wise in your stat allocation on each time that you level up. If you are not sure what to choose, click Auto Set to allocate the stats automatically.

Right, the battle with monsters will start to test your ability from now on. Although this will not quite reach the level of a true promotion test, think of it as ample preparation and take the challenge.

Right, the battle with monsters will start to test your ability from now on. Although this will not quite reach the level of a true promotion test, think of it as ample preparation and take the challenge.

Have you completed the promotion test? I see you've done very well again. If you reach level 10 and become qualified for promotion, namely if you achieve your Rank-Up stat requirement, come back to me. Now, the training must end here.

Hey! Come over here! I've heard that there is a very talented one among the Colony trainees. You fit the description! Hmm..You look free. Do you want to do some volunteer work?

Can you see the Scorlugs that are crawling around in front of the Colony? Recently they've been breeding fast, and they're causing so much trouble for the residents here. They complain to our guards everyday. It's giving me a hard time. I want you to kill Scorlugs.

So the rumor is true. You have pretty good skills. Why not be my friend and help me out once in a while? Come by often. Hahahaha.

Ah-choo! Atchoo! Oh, I'm sorry. I don't understand why, but flu is spreading in Bloody Ice. The residents of Bloody Ice are very used to cold weather, so they never catch cold. Cough. I'm not even sure if this is cold. I'm having cough, runny nose, fever, and headache. Whew! Cough. Would feel better if I drink some Medicinal Herb tea..

I've heard that the Herb Tea growing on the Bloody Ice Wall is very effective against cold. But how could I go out and pick Medicinal Herb when I don't even have the strength to lift my fingers because of the fever..Atchoo! Cough. If you have the time, could you bring me some Medicinal Herb tea?

Welcome back. Did you find.. the Herb Tea?

Cough. Oh, you have brought some really rare Medicinal Herbs tea. I should make a pot full of strong herb tea and share it with other residents. Thank you. Ah-choo!

Whew! It's a serious problem. The hunter who sold Zombie Maid Hair to me everyday suddenly stopped selling it to me. It's not like I can go out there and hunt the monsters in Bloody Ice myself either since they became stronger as some of them recently mutated. Whew! If you have the time, could you bring me some Zombie Maid Hair? I'll pay you good money!

If you have the time, could you bring me some Zombie Maid Hair? I'll pay you good money!

Oh!!! Thank you very much. Zombie Maid Hair is cheap and heavy duty, so it's perfect for making straw sandals. You can't walk on this icy floor without straw sandals you know. Thanks to you, I think I can make and sell quality straw sandals.

You know that I've been watching you, don't you? You're still not perfect, but I'm convinced that you're better than other trainees. That's why I have recommended you to Officer Dunhike of Desert Scream as a Special Trainee.

Yes, But, first you have to prove that you are rightfully eligible for Special Traniees If you beat a Devil Lynxhorn near zombie town, your ability will be demonstrated. Meet the Officer Dunhike when you beat Devil Lynxhorn.

Yes, But, first you have to prove that you are rightfully eligible for Special Traniees If you beat a Devil Lynxhorn near zombie town, your ability will be demonstrated. Meet the Officer Dunhike when you beat Devil Lynxhorn.

Anyway, congratulations on your getting a Special Recommendation.

Before I name you as a Special Trainee, I'll tell you how we came to train Special Trainees. Here in Nevareth, there are 7 Sages who are spiritual leaders and civilization teachers to the people. The most respected one is 1st Sage Sirius, and he ordered us to build a Special Colony on the three continents of Nevareth, at the top of the continents, and Exilian Island where a volcanic eruption recently took place, and teach trainees of the Sage Tower. And you're one of the trainees!

But the thing is... Strange Phenomena are happening all over the continents of Nevareth when these Colony Trainees are getting used to this place. Monsters are becoming more powerful than ever because of that. That's why we have decided at the Colony Federation Meeting to send outstanding trainees to solve the Problems of Strange Phenomena. The selected trainees are Special Trainees just like you.

Can you understand the magnitude of the tasks assigned to Special Trainees? You should know that you'll go through more hardship than average trainees. Okay, that's about it. If you want to be officially appointed as a Special Trainee, say the oath of a warrior at the Warrior Altar located east of this Colony and come back.

If you want to be officially appointed as a Special Trainee, say the oath of a warrior at the Warrior Altar located east of this Colony and come back.

Just like the star that doesn't lose its glitter even in pitch dark, His noble mind is untainted even amidst the stormy bloody wind. His steely eyes don't waver even when his heart is gripped in fear. He is a warrior... He has embarked on the road... May the blessings of light shine your path always.

Now that you have given your Oath of Warrior, I'll appoint you as a formal Special Trainee. Ah! There is one more thing I must entrust to you. Among my friends, there is a dealer named Eite who has a passion for collecting items. He has crafted a magical tome called Collection, and I am giving it to you as a gift. As you journey throughout the world, you will gather various items that can be added to the Collection. Doing so will make you an even stronger warrior. As a practice, I will give you one of my weapons. Try adding it to the Collection.
