Guardian System

A Guardian is a mount item you equip from the inventory. Every Guardian raises movement speed, gives ATK Speed +7 and adds Defense, and it also carries random general options and one Elite resistance option. You get each new tier by upgrading the previous one, so the system is a long ladder from the 3rd Guardian, Fierce Lion, to the 7th, Tauros.

Upgrade Combination is done at the Trainer in Lorencia (122, 110). You need the previous Guardian at +11 or higher, that tier's seal from the Ruud Shop (Priest James, Elbeland 32, 239, 50,000 Ruud), 20 Jewel of Bless, 20 Jewel of Soul, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Jewel of Creation. The new Guardian starts at +0.

• If it fails, the seal and jewels are lost and the base Guardian drops to +0.
• If it succeeds, the general options and the Elite resistance option are rolled again. A Guardian that had 3 general options keeps at least 2 after the new roll.
• Dismantling an unequipped Guardian gives Guardian Upgrade Stones.

A Guardian has 1 to 3 general options chosen from Elemental ATK, Elemental DEF, Defense per 20 levels and Attack/Wizardry/Curse per 20 levels, all growing with the upgrade level. It also has exactly one Elite resistance type, which protects against the special abilities of Elite monsters in the Elite Zones:

The Monster Soul Converter is a weekly hunting task sold in the same Ruud Shop. Carry a converter, hunt the monster type shown on it and collect its souls; when the converter is full, right-click it, pick a reward type and receive two rewards, one fixed and one random. Rewards include Ruud, jewels, options and accessories, and higher-level converters ask for harder monsters but pay better.

• There are 5 converter levels, and you can carry only one converter at a time.
• Purchases are limited each week and reset on Thursday, when the required monster also changes. Converters cannot be bought on Thursday from 00:30 to 11:00.
• A converter expires the next Thursday, but one that is fully collected before then becomes permanent.
• Souls are shared with party members who collect the same type.
