Sojun struggled to stay awake, to focus on anything in the small hut. The doctor said something to her, but she couldn't hear him over the pounding of her own blood in her eardrums. She screamed as her stomach turned.

 Hours earlier, Sojun was kneeling in the Wraithbloom field, hidden behind a tree. She had been studying the Tyrian Cult for weeks and was finally ready to strike. With deft precision, she silently stalked the overseer and readied her weapon. Just as she came behind him, he threw Wraithbloom powder into her eyes. She screamed and waved her knife blindly as she stumbled across the field.

 When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by demons and the ghosts of her past. She flung her arms wildly to hit them, only for them to reappear and scream even louder. Sojun fell to her knees and collapsed into the soil.

## Objectives

1. Speak with Park Bumjin
2. Speak with General Han
3. Defeat Southpyre Border Scouts and take their Wraithbloom Antidotes (0/9)
4. Give the Wraithbloom Antidote to Sojun
5. Speak with Sojun
6. Speak with General Han

## Dialogue

1. Speak with Park Bumjin

"If you're here to tell me to abandon hope for these men, I'm afraid you're wasting your time."
*Jihei says they can't be helped.*
"Thank you for Jihei's message. Now I must attend to my patients."
2. Speak with General Han

"Bumjin refuses to abandon his post. Frankly, I'm inclined to stand with him. *(How are you not dead? You look like you've been put through the wringer...)* When my men pulled back, they returned with this woman. She's been poisoned by the Tyrian Cult's Wraithbloom smoke. She may have information that can help us defeat the Tyrian Cult. But we may need more of the Wraithbloom Antidote if we hope to make heads or tails of what she tells us. Members of the Tyrian Cult have been patrolling the roads near here. Find them. Kill them. Bring back the Wraithbloom Antidote. Dismissed."
3. Defeat Southpyre Border Scouts and take their Wraithbloom Antidotes (0/9)

4. Give the Wraithbloom Antidote to Sojun

5. Speak with Sojun

"Thank you. The pain is beginning to subside. What about Captain Choi Jina? Where is she?"
*She's not here.*
"My name is Sojun. I'm an operative from Stratus Royal Court. My captain and I were investigating the Tyrian's smuggling operation when our identities were compromised. I managed to make it out, but my commanding officer is still in danger. I... can't abandon her! Please take my badge and request reinforcements. *(I can only hope she's still alive.)*"
6. Speak with General Han

"She's from the Royal Court? This may be a blessing in disguise. Give me the badge. If Captain Rogan knows that an agent of the Royal Court has been attacked, he'll have no choice but to send forces to fight the Tyrian Cult. *(This may be our chance to crush this cult once and for all.)* While I appeal to Ah Rogan, you must go to the Tyrian Storehouse. Ensure the Stratus Agent is safe."
Blade Master

The **Blade Master** is one of the Classes in Blade & Soul.

Blade Master (not to be confused with Blade Dancer) is a "Warrior" class that specializes in sword combat to deliver a variety of attacks. Blade Masters do not have high static defense but are adept at parrying and evading their enemies' blows and then following up with counter attacks. Blade Master can also go on the offensive with their Draw stance to inflict quick and powerful blows. As far as range, Blade Masters can use Flying Sword techniques that will harm their enemies from afar.

## Races

This class has race limitations and can only be played with the following races: the Jin and the Yun.

## Resource Mechanic

As with most classes, Blade Masters use a resource mechanic called "Focus" to call forth their abilities and combos. A point is added to the Blade Master's Focus bar every time a basic combo or move is used. The larger, more complicated moves will require a certain amount of Focus points to perform and will consume the Focus points upon use. Additionally, Blade Masters are known for their high Focus regeneration, which may be seen through the mechanic of Cyclone.

## Skills

Damage values based off level 45 Blade Master base stats. Updated on Jan. 23, 2016, for NA/EU client. Skills in this section have no ability points invested into them.

## Skill Tree

All skills until level 15 are obtained automatically. From there on, after completing the storyline quest around level 15, all skills and upgrades obtained through the skill tree. Each row requires the first column to be trained first before training any other talents on that row.

BM Skill Tree

Numbers and effects should be up to date as of April 24, 2013. Skill names are not translated.

Baleful Gauntlet - Stage 4

**Baleful Gauntlet - Stage 4** is the fourth step on the Baleful weapon path for Kung Fu Master, contrasting Seraph Gauntlet - Stage 4. Baleful is usually recommended over Seraph due to the greater consistency in activating its signature effect.

With the ease of obtaining Dawnforged Gauntlets - Stage 3 as a quest reward, it is no longer necessary to follow this upgrade path unless you intend to obtain a Raven Gauntlet - Stage 1 or reroll for Gem Sockets.

The primary feature is the Baleful effect (potentially) triggered on hit. Each stack deals [1.3x AP] damage, and all skill cooldowns are reset after 10 stacks. This is the first stage to increase the skill damage boost, from 2% to 5%; the next increase is at Baleful Gauntlet - Stage 7.

"Doyuhan bolted upright in his bed. He was soaked with sweat. It was the
same old nightmare, the day Highland Central fell. If he closed his eyes,
he could almost feel the soldier's hand around his, leading him to safety.
Doyuhan stepped out of his tent and into the fresh air. He began to
wander the camp in the gentle pre-dawn light. His scrappy band of rebels
was already up and about, preparing for the new day.

After he escaped the ruins of Highland Central, Doyuhan served for a time
in the Stratus army alongside his father's surviving soldiers. After a
number of years he left the military. He traveled to Dominion lands in
pursuit of a simpler life, and for a time he found it. It was during this time
that he began to witness the struggles of the people around him--honest,
hardworking folk writhing under the thumb of a greedy and oppressive
government.

Doyuhan could not stand idly by and watch. So he formed a coalition of
the willing, a militia dedicated to punishing those Talus lords and
governors who took advantage of their subjects. They worked at night
and in disguise to prevent retribution. But his soldiers were poorly armed
and under fed. It was ridiculous to think they could take on the
corruption of the Talus empire alone. And yet, Doyuhan knew he had to
try. As he ambled aimlessly, a scout approached.

"Hey boss, there's a woman who's been asking around for you by name,"
the scout said. "Says she's got a business proposition. It could be a trap.
Want us to take care of her?"

"A woman?" Doyuhan stared quizzically. "No, I'll hear what she has to say.
Set it up."

## Objectives

1. [Lv.43] Speak with Doyuhan at the watchtower
2. Defeat Talus soldiers and mercenaries outside the Skyhaven Perch
3. Speak with Junghado
4. Travel to the Brightstone Ruins
5. Speak with Iksanun

## Dialogue

1. Speak with Somai

"Oh, you're back, darling. It is so good to see you."
"You were so helpful in dealing, with my, ah, overly-friendly-bandit issue, Darling. Just splendid work. I was wondering if I could trouble you again."
*What do you mean?*
"This may come as a shock, but the Bamboo Guard has duties that extend beyond putting filthy bandits and pirates to the sword. *(I, for example, chair over 12 different committees. So busy!)* I, for example, am in charge of providing assistance to former members of the Bamboo Guard. Some of these poor beauties are so injured, they can't handle the basics of life: food, shelter, and, uh, fundamental cleanliness. One of my chargers if Former First Lieutenant Anh. A brave man. Always first to leap into a battle. A habit that earned him a spray of acid to the eyes some years back. The poor man is completely blind! Can you imagine some so tragic, darling? It's awful. Just awful. Anyway, in addition to regular food and clothing deliveries, I've also been making sure he gets a few goodies as well. For example, his favorite dessert is bondberries and cream. But since he's blind he can't pick the bondberries himself. I'd do it myself, but I've been asked to pull a second shift of guard duty. Can you be a dear and gather some bondberries for me and deliver them to Blindman Anh at Foshi Pyres?"
"Be careful. Other creatures like bondberries too..."
2. Gather Bondberries

3. Talk to Blindman Anh

Blindman Anh:
"You smell that, Sim?
Blindman Sim:
"Sure do Anh. Smells like corpberries."
Blindman Anh:
"Are you crazy? Those are definitely bondberries. You should get your fat nose checked."
"Another delivery from Somai, I take it? *(She really needs to stop doing this...)*"
*Yes. Bondberries.*
"Bondberries. My favorite. Thank you. You really shouldn't have, though. *(These smell pretty sweet. Probably from the grove by Bamboo Village.)* I'm serious. I know she thinks she'd doin' me a favor, but I'm a grown man. If I want bondberries, I should head on out into the brush and pick 'em myself. Just because I lost my eyes doesn't mean I'm helpless. But if people keep on treating me like I am, I will be. That make sense?"
*I think so.*
"Anyway, if you see Somai, tell her thanks for the gesture. And tell her not to worry about me. This old soldier still has a few tricks up his sleeve."
"These are pretty tasty, though."

1. **Talk to Yu Jasu**

"You look awful. Are you unwell?"
"Your pallor is sickly, your eyes look unfocused, and you seem to be trembling slightly.
(Is this person diseased?)
You need medicine immediately. Do not fret, we here at the Silver Cauldron specialize in the healing arts.
(Hmm, the tongue isn't swollen, so it's not Jiangshi Fever.)
And don't you doubt our ability for a second. Just as the other guilds are masters of their field, we are the unrivaled healers of this land.
Let me take a look at you. Hmm, I don't see any fevered wound or any symptoms of disease. You just appear... well, unhealthy.
(I've never seen a case like this.)
It may be a matter of your body's chi. Perhaps something is obstructing or poisoning it from the inside.
Unfortunately, I am a healer of the physical, not the spiritual. I will prescribe the most powerful remedy for general sickness I can. I hope it does some good.
Gather the mushroom caps and herbs available on the road to Croaker Lagoon.
(I'm baffled. Years of training and I feel like an amateur.)
Deliver these ingredients to Wasugi at the lagoon and have him make a curative paste, which you must ingest as quickly as possible. Tell him I sent you and he should waive any fee."
"A healthy body is a healthy life."
2. **Defeat Gloomcaps in Pondskip Vale to obtain their caps (0/5)**

3. **Speak with Wasugi at Croaker Lagoon**

"I say, you look half-dead. If you're going to keel over, try to avoid touching my robes."
*I brought ingredients for medicine.*
"Ha, and I should say you need it. You do know my remedies are quite costly, correct?"
*Yu Jasu said there would be no charge.*
"Yu Jasu? I should have known. That man is far too soft. Every time he sees a copperless charity case like yourself, he loses his head.
Healers cannot work for free. I found it much more profitable to become a private practicioner than to remain a part of the Silver Cauldron."
*Will you make the medicine?*
"Of course, I will. Despite Yu Jasu's overabundance of kindness, he is still an old colleague.
Give those ingredients here and I'll simply mix them together, grind in some cloves, and there we are. Eat this, do not leave a morsel. Quickly now, before the potency fades.
Hm, a faint change in color, but otherwise you scarcely look any healthier. I am afraid I have done all I can, perhaps you should seek a healer of chi."

## Dialogue

1. Talk to Sobong

"Even though this is your very first test, you will be performing a task that is crucial to the Crimson Legion: the collection of Soulstones. Soulstones are an extremely rare and powerful stone. Their mysterious energies are the same as those of the Dragon Pulses. Control the Soulstones and we, the Crimson Legion, could have infinite power. But we're not the only ones. The Cerulean Order is also collecting Soulstones. Do you know what would happen if the Cerulean Order collected more Soulstones? Well, I'll tell you, recruit. The Cerulean Order believes that Soulstones should be regulated by our divinely appointed rulers--like the emperor of the Talus Dominion. That's all well and good when our leaders aren't corrupt. We, the Crimson Legion, want the soulstones to be in the hands of the people. We gather Soulstones by the Dragonscale to further that ideal. Go and help the Crimson Legion by harvesting Soulstones--and slaying any Cerulean Order members in your way!
2. Equip a Crimson Legion Uniform and obtain Soulstones to the south of the Dragonscale (0/3)

3. Equip a Crimson Legion Uniform and talk to Sobong on top of the cliff near the Wanderer's Hut

"I'm pleased to be wrong, recruit. Sansu's preferential treatment was, in your case, warranted. You're Windstrides ahead of the warriors we normally attract. I'm going to keep my eye on you. You're going to go far in the Crimson Legion... Very far indeed. We stand together. We are the Crimson Legion. Remember that, recruit!"

  : The livers are no longer my concern. I now study the Hornbeak's behavior. These beasts are certainly not a local species and their presence is disastrous.
  : I have observed these Hornbeaks for days and have seen the damage they do to the flora of this land. Herbalists have a responsibility to tend to nature's delicate balance.
  : Reduce the numbers of the Arctic Hornbeaks in this area and bring the livers to Yeonsami. Perhaps thinning the flock will return balance to this region.

## Progress

### Dialogue

1. Click to read the message

"Cricket, by the time you read this letter, I will already be gone.
And by "gone" I mean "dead." Just wanted to make that clear. I know sometimes you need things spelled out. Hehe.
You know, I wish I could be there to see the look on your face from that last joke. I wish I could be there to see you master the Hongmoon Arts.
But the truth is, you don't need my help. You've got what it takes to finish your training on your own.
Keep that in mind! The fate of the Hongmoon School is now in your hands, Cricket. It's up to you now to learn and spread Master Hong's teachings. No joke.
One last thing I need you to do for me, Cricket. No, it's not more training. It's more of a treasure hunt. I left you something.
It's hidden by the big tree in front of the shrine in Jadestone Village. Hope you like it. Thanks for everything.
 Your friend forever, Hajoon.
P.S. I'm still way better at martial arts than you."
2. Find the tree nearby the Earthseers Shrine in Jadestone Village

Suspicious Pile of Rocks: Someone deliberately piled these rocks up.
3. Open your Inventory and read Hajoon's Diary

Entry 35
Well, that wound I got from Jinsoyun isn't getting better. Doctors don't know what's wrong, but I do. I've been corrupted by Dark Chi.
I feel myself turning into one of those things that attacked us on Heaven's Reach. It's taking every ounce of strength I have to hold back the transformation. I must hold out. I must find another Hongmoon survivor!"
Entry 41
Cricket! Cricket survived! That punk always did have fortune's favor.
With any luck, I'll be able to teach Cricket everything before the corruption takes me. Who am I kidding? This is Cricket. I'm going to need a LOT of luck...
Entry 46
Training is proceeding well, though I can't be as active as I'd like due to the corruption.
Not sure if Cricket notices what's happening to me. Maybe Cricket's just being polite? I feel nauseous all the time. And my dreams are consumed by such dark thoughts...
Entry 49
I don't think I can go any further. I only have one lesson left in me. Cricket has exceeded my expectations. I can die knowing Hongmoon is in capable hands.
Entry 50
I wrote a final letter to Cricket and will bury this diary and my Hongmoon uniform under a tree. I hope Cricket wears this uniform and remembers the good times we spent together.

There were many factors leading to the rebellion that inevitably resulted in the founding of the Talus Dominion. The corruption and tyranny of the Stratus Empire played no small part. Taxation, oppression, conscription... the Stratus seemed to have their greedy fingers in everything, and both humans and Beast Kin alike were fed up.

The internal squabbling of the royal family did not help matters. In fact, it was this infighting that finally destroyed the trust of the people. Driven by jealousy of his brother, Emperor Wan, Lord Sogun's schemes to take the throne resulted in the unthinkable: the destruction of Highland Central.

The people could bear no more. The Talus Rebellion was born. Claiming the great city of Zaiwei as their capital, the people of the Eastern Continent declared their independence. Unwilling to part with such vast quantities of natural resource and territory, the Stratus Army rallied to supress this insurrection. War had come to the Earthen Realm.

## Dialogue

1. Talk to Ju Pandon

"It's you! The village owes you a debt of gratitude. We've managed to rescue many of the kidnapped villagers, but the Tyrian Cult remains a nuisance. We'v lost contact with another scout, and now... Are you going to be passing by the Earthseer Hermitage?"
*Yes.*
"Fantastic. Then you can do a little favor for the Empire on your way! There are reports of an unidentified corpse on the road to the Hermitage. Please search for the corpse and see if you can find anything, a belonging perhaps. Once you've done that, Guard Yang Gun will assist you in identifying the body."

"Lady Bamyu, I bear grim news."
*Continue Reading.*
"I went to investigate the rumors in person. It appears the trainees we sent were all dead. I fear the worst..."
*The rest of the page is badly torn.*
"...my discovery of the corrupted charms suggests that he has not only returned, but is stronger than ever. I fear he has already reached the Tomun Range..."
*The next page is covered in blood.*
"I fear for your safety. I hope this missive finds you in time. Your humble servant, Moyung Jung."
4. Speak with Yang Gun

"Greetings. What brings you to the Earthseer Hermitage?"
*I was asked to bring this to you.*
"This is... a letter from Gravewatcher Moyong Jung, of the Viridian Coast. Is this his blood? For him to come all the way here... It's hard to make out anything specific, but it sounds urgent. Perhaps Lady Bamyu will know of what he writes."
*What about the body?*
"My comrade and I will see to it that he gets a proper burial. After all, we must make certain his soul is not trapped in this realm. Darkness has descended upon this forest. Bamyu says the balance of energy is no longer what it was. We must help the lost souls."
