Marriage and Mentors

Two players can marry in Perfect World. After the wedding each one shows the partner's name above their own as husband or wife, so everyone nearby can see they are a couple. The pair also gets a bundle of celebration gifts, and can look after each other's Homestead. The marriage quests used to reward fashion, tomes and a skill (Lover's Connection) that teleports one partner to the other in the open world.

The game only allows a male and a female character to marry.

• Both characters must be level 20 or higher to receive the quest.
• The man opens a Groom Pack and the woman a Bride Pack. Keep at least 5 free inventory slots so every item fits.
• The two must be in a squad with nobody else; a third member blocks the marriage.
• Each one talks to the Eldest Matchmaker in West Archosaur (523, 656) and finishes the quest "Matrimony": the man hands in the Stamp of Eternity, the woman the Silk of Eternity (both come in the packs).
• Then the squad leader speaks to the Matchmaker once more to complete the last "Matrimony" step and seal the union.

Once married, the Eldest Matchmaker can send the couple to a foyer where the Wedding Usher books a date and time for the ceremony. Times are in server time, and changing a wrongly booked slot costs 3 million Silver Coins, so check for planned maintenance first. The ceremony can be held in the western-style Wedding Chapel or the eastern-style Phoenix Nest.

Married couples have a Couple Karma window in the Public Relations menu (bottom right of the screen). It shows the spouse, the Karma (also called Romance) the pair has collected, and the Karma Tree. Karma used to come from daily couple activities and unlocked ten reward tiers, from Childhood to Eternity, that gave titles and Homestead decoration recipes; the last tiers added a Gilded Canopy mount egg and a Heartfelt Fashion token.

The couple can water the Karma Tree once a day. It grows with the number of days it has been watered:

A blooming tree earns the couple a Karma Plaque (Early after one year of blooming, Middle after two, Constant after three). With the plaque holder as squad leader, the pair hangs it on the Karma Tree just outside Sanctuary (652, 572), where other players can read both names and the date.

Only one partner is needed to start a divorce. They take the "Divorce" quest from the Eldest Matchmaker in West Archosaur, pay 2,000,000 Silver Coins and confirm. The other partner gets a notice and can accept at once; if they ignore it, the divorce goes through after 24 hours. The one who started it can still cancel before the timer ends.

After a divorce the pair loses the Lover's Connection teleport and the ring blessings, their Karma is wiped and the Karma Tree goes back to a seed. To be together again they must marry from the start with new Groom and Bride Packs.

Wings of Rebirth (1.6.2, 2019) added a Master and Apprentice system in which strong players guided newer ones and both were rewarded. A Master needed the second Reawakening at level 100 and the Mirage Sky X boundary, and could take up to 3 apprentices; an apprentice had a single master.

• Apprentices earned Tutorship Points (and their master earned Master Virtue) by doing Spiritual Cultivation quests together, by daily lessons with a Teaching Stone, by boss kills in high-level dungeons, and in a special instance.
• The instance picked one of three seasonal challenges at random: Spring Brewing (making wine to order), Summer Exterminating (trapping inchworms) and Autumn Harvest (a maze where players collect wheat).
• An apprentice who reached the second Reawakening at level 100 and Mirage Sky X could graduate at Great Tutor Hou in Bamboo Village and become a master, keeping all points earned.
• Point tiers unlocked titles, fashion, aerogear, a mount egg and glyph packs through reward quests.
