World of Leadale

## Game

The game didn't feature typical classes like "Knight", "Priest" or "Magician". Instead you build your own unique character with over 4000 skills and items, featuring species such as Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and Dragoids.

The maximum level is 1000, however by clearing the highest tier-quest, you can raise the level cap to 1100.

You can earn a title of "Skill Master", which allows the player to grant skills to other players allowing them to level up their abilities. However as the Skill Masters get swarmed by beggars for skills, some had even quit the game. To lower the burden, the devs included Guardian Towers that each Skill Master can customize setting unique rules for clearing it. Those who clear the tower are then granted skill by the Skill Masters. Each Skill Master has a Guardian Ring that can allow him to teleport back to their tower.

Originally, seven kingdoms existed allowing players to side with one of the fractions and participate in super popular territory battle events.

Each player account can has up to two characters and often the second alt character was used as storage mule. However as the game already had storage system, whose alt character were often left unused. Foster System was then introduced that allows the players to buy their alt character as NPC. An unique class can even convert those characters into tradable NPCs, allowing players to even sell their alt characters. Players are also able to define family relationship between their main character and alt NPC character by submitting tickets, allowing them to have "children", "parents", "siblings" or "couples" relationships.

**Guardian Towers** exist to bestow skills upon adventures through a trial. It reproduces the Skill Master's unique skill. Thus, the skill masters pleaded to the game staff to change the system. As a solution the game staff made it so that the Skill Masters had less direct responsibility. Player who wanted skills were diverted from directly begging Skill Master's for them. These players must first complete the quest generated by the NPC's.
