PvP, Outlaws & Duels

Outside a duel you can attack other players (hold Ctrl while clicking), but the game discourages it. When someone hits you, a self-defense window opens and you may kill the attacker for a limited time without penalty. Hitting an Elf's summoned creature also triggers self-defense. Killing a player who had no self-defense against you makes you an Outlaw, usually called a PK (player killer).

Season 9 moved PK status to a point system. Points start counting from PK level 1, keep piling up past level 3 with no cap, and go down only as you hunt monsters: each kill removes points equal to the monster's level divided by 2. Pasi the Mage in Lorencia shows your current points.

• Dying to a monster costs 4% of your Zen, taken from both inventory and warehouse, at any PK level. Dying to a player costs no Zen, and characters at level 10 or below lose none.
• From PK level 2, reconnecting always puts you in Lorencia.
• At PK level 3, points only drop by hunting monsters in Vulcanus.
• From PK level 1 you cannot join Non-PvP servers, and Blue Gold channels are closed to you as well.

The fan wiki describes an older Hero status. You became a Hero by killing three or more 2nd-stage Outlaws in one login session without letting them hit you; a kill made under self-defense did not count. Heroes had a 1 in 32 chance to drop an item on death and lost less experience to monsters. The status lasted one hour and the timer reset with each PK you killed.

If you want to fight without becoming an Outlaw, use the built-in systems. The Duel System lets two non-PK players fight without being flagged for the kill. Guilds can challenge each other to a guild war, or to Battle Soccer in the Arena at any time. Bigger fights happen in Castle Siege and between the two Gens; see Guilds & Alliances for guild basics.

Season 9 also changed where PvP is allowed. Atlans and Aida became normal areas, and the guide lists which zones allow PvP on Red and Blue servers.
