Reawakening

Reawakening arrived with the New Horizons expansion in December 2013. Players often just call it rebirth or RB. Your character drops back to level 1, but in return it gets extra attribute points for good, an EXP multiplier, a new quest line and the Primal World with its Boundary quests. You can reawaken two times.

• You keep your gear, skills, cultivation and everything else. Finished quests stay finished and cannot be done again.
• Quests, EXP pills and monster kills give x4 EXP after the first Reawakening and x3.5 after the second. This stacks with Hyper EXP Stones and double-EXP events and stops once you reach level 100 again.
• Your stats reset, but you get bonus points based on the level you had before. Those past levels are called historical levels.

Your historical level replaces the level requirement on gear, so you can wear anything whose stat requirements you meet. Ornaments and rank gear without stat requirements work from level 1, but high-level helmets, capes, chest pieces, leggings, wrists and boots will not fit at first. The first Reawakening gives a free starter set to bridge the gap; the second does not. A Venomancer can use level 100 pets again at about level 60-65.

• Hand in Bounty Hunter and other open quests first, or they will clutter your log until 100.
• Venomancers should tame a low-level pet to use until their old pets work again.
• Save Fantasy Bags from the lucid silver and gold quests and any unclaimed Perfect Questmaster rewards; opening them after Reawakening levels you faster.

You need level 100 and the finished level 89 cultivation quest, Aware of the Myriad or Aware of the Void (see Sage and Demon Paths). The quest line gives you the Stone of Love·Restoration.

You wake up at level 1 in your race's city and can do that race's quests (unless you did them before the Wings of Rebirth expansion). At level 80 the Reawakening I quest chain opens, and the Messenger of Time above Archosaur can send you through the "Door to the Primal World". At 90 the Arcane Sky quest chain becomes available, giving good EXP and vitae.

• Reach level 100 a second time.
• Have a Stone of Love·Recreation. It comes from the Reawakening I quest chain with no Boundary requirement. If you finished that chain before Wings of Rebirth, craft it instead at the Sacred Cauldron in Kirin Town with 6 Primordial Blood and 1 Adv. Arcane Sky Page; this needs Boundary level Arcane Sky VI.
• Talk to the Master of Cycles in South Archosaur (547 626) and choose Reawakening. You will be sent to the Shrine of the Immortals to start its regional quests. There is no free starter gear this time, and at level 90 the Mirage Sky quest chain opens.

The Ancient Tome, opened from your character window (C), lets you bank EXP to level your past lives after the fact and collect the bonus points you missed. Wake the Book Demon so it starts storing EXP. When it holds enough for a past life to gain a level, click the brush icon next to that life and press Edit. If you want EXP to go to your character as usual, keep the Tome inactive: the figure in the book then looks asleep.
