## Notable Quotes

**Act 1. The Scarred**

"Never underestimate the Char Coalition!

Be well."

**Gold and Shackles**

"Enough is enough! The Dusk Adders have gone too far!

I can't believe this! It hits me right in the heart, just stabbing, stabbing at my soul!"

"We didn't want any trouble! We just wanted to gather ebonywood. Every day, we would cut ebonywood and deliver it to the Tanjay Kilns. It's a humble, honorable living for humble, honorable workers.

The Dusk Adders had been stealing ebonywood from the Kilns, so demand was up. We kept our heads down, didn't ask questions, and did you work.

Last night, the Dusk Adders came back and ransacked one of our camps. They took the wood, they took my friends, and they even took our dinner!

I should have done something!

I'm scum. I'm a coward! I ran into the woods until Buyong took me in. She told me to stop crying. I couldn't... not when my friends are trapped working in the Depleted Goldmine!

Please, warrior! I beg of you! Hurry to the Depleted Goldmine and save my friends!"
Blade Master

## Lore

Blade Masters have a wide variety of attack and defense skills, making them a powerful force on the battlefield. Their techniques rely on high attack speed and careful maneuvering around an enemy, dodging and parrying without pause, while countering any attacks with devastating ease.

In battle, the Blade Master is able to swiftly switch between stances, allowing for many combinations of attacks in either their Basic Stance or their blindingly-fast Draw Stance, calling on a unique set of skills only available in those stances. With the Flock of Blades technique, they can summon a flurry of flying swords to overwhelm their enemies.

The Blade Master is a well-rounded class that is easy to use but difficult to master. It takes a great deal of skill and quick thinking to be effective, but has no overt disadvantages that enemies can exploit. Equally effective in both offensive skills and defensive capabilities, they’re the jack-of-all-trades martial artist.

### Available Races

* Jin
* Yun

## In Action

The Blade Master focuses on dealing two types of damage: Fire and Lightning. Not all skills will have an associated elemental damage, but those that do will have their damage increased with the selection of the right items. Building a focus around these damage types is advantageous in the long run, especially as you get to the end-game dungeons.

While in a party the Blade Master versatility becomes equally advantageous. Typically the Blade Master takes on the role of keeping the boss occupied while the other party members fulfill other tasks. The Blade Master captures the boss’ attention by initiating the battle with a set of high damage combos, then switching to a more defensive set of skills that can maintain threat.

In Arena PvP, delicately balancing the stance switches is vital. Draw Stance and its associated abilities ensure your damage is high; but if you can’t effectively react and block your opponents skills, it doesn’t matter how high your damage potential is if you’re constantly movement-locked or condition-afflicted.

## Notable Quotes

**Act 1. The Scarred**

**Chapter 10: South Anchor's Away!**

"You know what would open this cage faster than that key? A bomb!

Of all the cages I've ever been stuck in, that one was the worst. Wanna help me get some payback, stranger?"

"I was thinking we could write them a strongly worded letter. Or we could blow this place up with bombs. Tough call, right?

*Let's bomb this place! Burn it all!"*

"The bombs are all rigged to go. We just need to get the parts for a remote detonator and then blammo! Bam bam goes the Blackram.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!*"

"We should release the other Militia members. I'd sorta feel bad if they got accidentally blown up."

"That's everything. Now let's go hook it all up and start the party."

"Be careful! Blowing ourselves up would be bad."

"Don't be a baby. I'm sixty percent certain we won't get caught in the blast. Just push the plunger and enjoy the show.

Whoa. Hey, is that... Wungsam? He looks mad.

You know, I'm really more of an engineer than a fighter. Good luck."

"I don't know about you, but I had a blast."
Chulwan

**Mokdun:** "Oh, this is from Chulwan, isn't it? That woman is always getting Gwan Chulsu into scrapes."

## Quests

I Feel a Draft

## Notable Quotes

"This place needs to be whipped into shape!

Bamboo Village is full of namby-pamby softies! That's why the Blackram Marauders keep attacking. I mean, just look at that wuss Gwan Chulsu. He's worthless!

He's also a treasury-fund kid. His family owns a bunch of property. When he gets low on funds, he just sells off another parcel of land. He's never worked a day in his life.

That changes now. Take this certificate to Mokdun at the Bamboo Lookout in Everdusk, and tell him it's from Gwan Chulsu.

This certificate swears allegiance to the Bamboo Guard, and promises that Gwan Chulsu will show up as a new recruit for training. A fun little scheme, huh?

Believe me, this is for Gwan Chulsu's own good. He needs to fight for something, believe in something! He'll thank me later. And if not, I still want to see the look on his face when the Guard comes calling. Hah!"

Love is a Battlefield

Blind Man's Bluff

Chapter 10: South Anchor's Away!

## Notable Quotes

**Love is a Battlefield**

"Hello there, darling. I'm Somai. I'm with the Bamboo Guard. I've seen everything, so don't try anything funny."

"No. I can't say. It's too embarassing, Darling! I'm a respected member of the Bamboo Guard!

*I can't believe I'm spilling my guts to a rookie!*

Okay fine. I'll tell you. I tripped and fell. My sword flew out of my hand. There I was, helpless, lying in the mud, with a murderous pirate standing over me ready for the kill.

*No, seriously, I should stop telling the rookie this story. It's mortifying!*

*Well, it's too late now. Cat's out of the bag, so to speak.*

And then he picked up my sword... And handed it to me. Then without a word he ran off into the woods.

The whole ordeal was just too strange for words. I need you to find this strange Blackram pirate and find out what game he's playing. Is he a spy? Who's he working for? Why did he help me?"

"This report is odd. It seems like he was supposed to be spying on our base but all of his notes are about... me.

I mean, it's flattering to get this sort of attention. I wasn't always this plain middle-aged solder, you know. When I was younger I was quite the distraction to some of the boys in the Guard. I was so distracting the Captain offered me a job!

But a pirate? A Blackram Marauder? Ugh. No way. Pass. I hope you gave that cheeky boy a sound thrashing.

*I think I read a romance novel with this plot once...*

All right. I'm glad we solved this mystery. Be a dear and don't mention this to the others? I'd like to be taken seriously by my peers. If they found out about this, the Pirate Lover jokes would never end.

Discretion, Dearie. Discretion."

**Blind Man's Bluff**

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 commitees. 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.

**Chapter 10: South Anchor's Away!**

"You want the new recruit? Then you're gonna have to go through us!"

"Don't worry about us."

There Will Be Bloody Jiangshi

The Source of the Bloody Jiangshi

## Notable Quotes

"You and I are one and the same. We both lost our masters. We were both betrayed.

Few things cut as deep as betrayal."

**The Source of the Bloody Jiangshi**

"Nekuro was my clan mate. We both studied under the great incantations master Jumon Ongsin. I would even say we were friends until Nekuro...

*It makes me sick to my stomach to remember...*"

"He betrayed all of us. He stole ancient, arcane manuscripts from our master and killed him in his sleep. Master Jumon was like a father to all of us. Why would his best student murder him while he slept?"

"You may be the only person who understands what we went through. I heard about Master Hong and the tragedy at Heaven's Reach. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Jumon Ongsin's death nearly ruined me. I joined the Gravewatchers to track down Nekuro and bring him to justice. After two decades of searching and fighting the undead, I found him. The Bamboo Guard helped me bring him in.

*I lost almost everything for the sake of revenge.*

Nekuro was executed for his crimes. I watched the gravediggers bury his corpse. Then, almost a year later, his incantations reappeared. New horrors were resurrected. More arcane texts were reported stolen.

*The dead walk and the silent talk.*

Nekuro is alive. I know it in my bones. Every Jiangshi in the cemetery bears his mark. He must be found before his army of undead grows any larger. Nekuro was always hungry for power. The dead always feed on the blood of the living.

*The only man that can cheat death is the one that spends his life studying it.*

My adversary must be brought to justice."

"For now, I'm grateful for your courage and sacrifice. You honor the memory of the great Master Hong.

In life or in death, justice always prevails."
Pango

**Gravewatcher Apprentice Dasoo:** "Apparently, Pango and Gak Toshi were friends when they were both still alive."

**Revenants and Irreverence**

"The fighting never stops.

Is something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Rest easy, Gak Toshi. Service. Honor. Sacrifice."

**Bamboo Guard Needs Food Badly**

"They took all the food. What am I going to do?

This is not gonna be good. Captain Dochun will kick me out of the Guard for sure."
Weapon Upgrading

Your weapon in Blade & Soul will grow in power and ability alongside your own.

Regardless of the path you take, your weapon will be a consistent tool throughout your journey. From your earliest days of training in your chosen martial art, until your last, your weapon will be your constant throughout. Early in your journeys you’ll come across a weapon of immense power—a Hongmoon weapon—your weapon. This is the tool you will keep with you, and work to increase in power along your journey.

When defeating your foes they will at times drop their own weapons or you will be rewarded with training crystals, and these can be sacrificed to imbue your weapon with their strength. As you add the power from other weapons to your own, it increases in level, enhancing the weapon’s power and attributes.

Once it has reached Stage 5, it can be coaxed to breakthrough to Stage 6 with the power of a specific rare weapon, and rare reagents.

Now your weapon can continue its journey to Stage 10 and transform into a new weapon once a different rare weapon and reagent have been collected. After the transformation has been completed, your weapon will return to Stage 1, but with a new appearance and name.

Difficult enemies keep the weapons needed to begin a breakthrough or transformation, and the rare reagents can generally be found through repeatable quests within certain areas of the world.

In addition to your weapon, your path will also include a selection of accessories that also increase in power in the same way as your weapon--fed with other accessories—and also breakthrough tiers using rare accessories and reagents.

Enemy weapons aren’t always destined for destruction though; they also provide unique appearances that can be kept and used to change the look of your own weapon. There are tales of very rare and powerful Legendary quality weapons that can sometimes even rival the power of your Hongmoon weapon at the highest levels of expertise.

The success of any martial artist will not only rely on their own physical strength and training, but also of their weapon.

"Why are you asking me? You need to get moving!"

"You should be ready for morning training, Cricket. Are you still asleep? Come on, rise and shine!"

## Quest Journal

**Prologue Chapter 2: Morning Time at Heaven's Reach**

Jinyung couldn't believe it. Gilhong and Hajoon were late to rise as usual, but now even the newest student was proving to be just as lazy! Master Hong would never take her seriously if she couldn't control the students she was responsible for. Scolding, negotiating, bribing--nothing seemed to work. How could they be so irresponsible as to shrug off morning meditations and exercises? Didn't they know how lucky they were to be taught by Master Hong Sokyun himself, one of the legendary Four Guardians?

**Prologue Chapter 4: Master Hong's Summons**

 Jinyung watched as a puzzled Cricket followed Master Hong into the main house. Fighting back a twinge of envy, Jinyung actually felt happy and hopeful. Master had decided to take on Cricket as a formal pupil! All the times washing dishes and fetching firewood were going to be worth it. Jinyung couldn't wait to watch Cricket work through the inaugural training session at the Duel Hall. This could be the start of something very special.

**Prologue Chapter 6: Training Begins**

 "Focus!" Lusung yelled at Jinyung during their training session, his lip curling in what Jinyung perceived as anger. Lusung was always intense when he was training, so perhaps Jinyung was overreacting. But as their session continued, Jinyung had to stifle her own anger at her fellow student as he continued barking orders and practically snarling as he struck the training dummy, over and over.

After the session, however, Lusung flashed that smile of his and apologized for "being a tad forceful," as he called it. They chatted about how wild the wind had been over the past few days--enough to knock over their feast table--and about a new little hiding place Lusung had found on a nearby floating island. Jinyung never could stay mad at Lusung for long.

Lumang Syndicate

The Dusk Adders were a group of bandits, a local branch of the Lumang Syndicate. While the Dusk Adders had been terrorizing the Everdusk region for years, the Lumang Syndicate was a realm-wide menace. Under their original leader, Yunsang, the Lumang Syndicate had noble aims--stealing from the rich to give to the poor. But after Yunsang disappeared on a quest to find his daughter, the Syndicate turned into a band of petty thieves, leaderless and lawless.

**Gwak Jun:** "You dragged him to me during the Blackram attack. He insisted on thanking you in person for saving his life.

He'll be bedridden for days. He may never be the same."

"It pains me to see him like this. He's pushed himself so hard ever since the Blackram killed his sister. Everyone's lost family, but he blames himself for so much."

**Bamboo Guard Munwi:** "Gwak Chil's condition is not improving...

You remember Gwak Chil from the Healing House in Bamboo Village? He says you helped get him off the beach during the Blackram attack.

He says you also procured some medicine from the beach for his back injury, which healed well enough for him to leave his bed for short periods of time. Unfortunately, there's another issue.

Unfortunately, there's another, larger issue. Something the doctors missed on first examination.

It seems as though Gwak Chil was struck by a Blackram arrow that was laced with a very strange poison. It's non-lethal, but could leave him crippled for life if not treated."

"Can you take this to Gwak Chil? He should be here in the camp.

But be subtle about it. He's tired of people fawning over him and if his fellow Guardmates knew he was still sick, it would upset him."

Say No to the Dress

## Quest Dialogue

**Bamboo Guard Jinwaryo:** My dress. Why would they steal my dress?

If you're not too busy, I could use your assistance in a private matter.

This morning, after I finished my patrol shift, I came back to camp to discover my personal effects were gone!

Most of the stuff that was stolen is easily replaceable, except for one item: a dress.

My mother made it for me before she passed, and it has great sentimental value. I need it back.

*Mother was such a talented seamstress.*

It doesn't take a genius to know who's behind this theft: those Lumang Dusk Adder thugs you've seen skulking around.

The thief could have been anyone in the gang, but my money's on Magomun. He's been spotted in the area and is known for committing random petty thefts.

He's likely lying low in the Dusk Adder Stronghold to the north. If you're heading up that way, keep an eye out for a white dress?

*I just hope they haven't resold it yet.*

I've never had to lock up my things before.

### Recover Jinwaryo's dress from Magomun in the Dusk Adder Stronghold

**Dusk Adder Captain Magomun:** Ah, my arms! Maybe I shouldn't have done all those pushups.

**Magomun's Underling:** That's what I mean, boss.

It's so beautiful, boss.

**Dusk Adder Captain Magomun:** This is your last chance to run! I'm warning you!

-Acquired Blackram Critical Soul Shield 4 / 6, Sealed Stone Bangle, Healing Tonic / Dumpling-

### Talk to Jinwaryo

**Bamboo Guard Jinwaryo:** That's it! That's my dress! You found it!

You found my dress! Thank you so much, hero. By the way, did you ever figure out why they stole it in the first place?

**You:** It was meant as a gift for Magomun's girlfriend.

**Bamboo Guard Jinwaryo:** That explains why it's still in one piece. And it smells like he even had it cleaned!

I can't offer much for a reward as they also stole all my money. If you ever need a favor, just ask.

*I think I'm going to wash it myself, just to be safe.*

I just bought a lock for my trunk. Last time this'll ever happen.

Daygu

**Namsoyoo:** "You should go introduce yourself to him. He's very welcoming and friendly."

**Bamboo Guard Gong Samsik:** "What a noble man! Still, he's probably not as strong as he seems to think he is."

*He'd do anything for our town.*

**Bamboo Guard Pango:** "Thanks for getting our food back. This will definitely go to the hands of those who need it and not greedy jerks like Mayor Daygu.

*Whoops. I shouldn't badmouth the mayor in front of strangers...*

Yeah... This is just a rumor, but apparently Mayor Daygu has been hoarding and skimming supplies meant for the town. You didn't hear that from me, though."

**Chapter 6: The Honorable Mayor**

"Ah, he's worried? I'm not as weak as I look! I'm not worth the trouble, but thank you all the same."

## Quest Dialogue

**Bamboo Village Resident Gwan Chulsu:** Oh, Namsoyoo, the things I'd do for you... The Blossom of Bamboo, with a beauty so true... Do you think she'll like my poem?

Eh, what do you know?

**Bamboo Village Resident Paodo:** Hmph! Chulsu, that guy! He's totally drooling over Namsoyoo again. This is so annoying!

Hello! You are just gorgeous. Hmm? Oh, not you, my ragged little adventurer. I'm talking about me. It's just so hard to look this good.

Accessories are the key to accentuating beauty. And yes, even perfection can be improved upon! More beauty can always be unleashed into the world!

*Thought*: Early to bed, early to rise makes Paodo healthy, sexy, and lithe!

**You:** Are you talking to me or to yourself?

**Bamboo Village Resident Paodo:** You, you silly bear. Wouldn't you enjoy becoming a champion for beauty? I mean, being so average yourself. Why not be an accessory in my quest for accessories?

I'll even make it easy for you. I know the perfect place to gather beautiful pearls for my first necklace!

*Thought*: Modesty is NOT the best policy.

Go down to the filthy beach, and fetch pearls from the filthy shells. You can obviously see why I am in need of a volunteer. I couldn't get these hands dirty!

### Gather pearls from clams on Bamboo Beach

**Bamboo Village Resident Paodo:** And remember: clean those pearls before you hand them back!

Hmph! They think Namsoyoo is so beautiful. I've seen nettlebugs with more charisma!

Ta-ta, warrior!

### Talk to Paodo

**Bamboo Village Resident Paodo:** You're back! And with good news, I assume?

Oh, they're marvelous! Quick, give them to me. Yes! With these, I will be the star of Bamboo Village. I may even put Namsoyoo to shame.

Watch out, Namsoyoo. You've got company!

## Quest Dialogue

**Ban Yongbu:** Enough is enough! The Dusk Adders have gone too far!

I can't believe this! It hits me right in the heart, just stabbing, stabbing at my soul!

**You:** What are you talking about?

**Ban Yongbu:** We didn't want any trouble! We just wanted to gather ebonywood. Every day, we would cut ebonywood and deliver it to the Tanjay Kilns. It's a humble, honorable living for humble, honorable workers.

The Dusk Adders had been stealing ebonywood from the Kilns, so demand was up. We kept our heads down, didn't ask questions, and did you work.

Last night, the Dusk Adders came back and ransacked one of our camps. They took the wood, they took my friends, and they even took our dinner!

*I should have done something!*

I'm scum. I'm a coward! I ran into the woods until Buyong took me in. She told me to stop crying. I couldn't... not when my friends are trapped working in the Depleted Goldmine!

Please, warrior! I beg of you! Hurry to the Depleted Goldmine and save my friends!

Teach those Adders a lesson!
Man With A Plan

On the way from Everdusk to Gloomdross Forest, you'll encounter a group of villagers and piglets. Escort and save them from Dusk Adder Ambushers, loot the corpses, and open Orpun's Diary of Ambition to receive the quest.

## Quest Dialogue

**Namun:** Let's raise pigs and sell them at the market.

**Gyungdu:** Don't break formation!

**Dusk Adder Ambusher:** Don't try hiding even a single coin.

Give me everything you have!

**Namun:** Save me! My wife is pregnant!

**Gyungdu:** Please, please, don't kill me!

**Orpun's 5-Year Plan:** Dear Opun. This is me, Past You, writing to Future Me.

If you are not successful yet, you will be soon. Trust me. I have this all figured out. All we gotta do is strike it rich.

You're probably wondering, "But how am I gonna get rich?"

If you haven't figured that out by now then you're slacking off, Future Me!

There's plenty of ways to get rich. Invent something or become a doctor, or a chef, or a scholar, or a fisherman! See? Just get out there and try it all.

Remember, Future Me, never return home unless you're rich and famous. And don't lose this journal!

Orpun's 5-Year Plan: A diary of an ambitious man.

### Talk to Orpun at Whalesong Cove

**Hamatai's Apprentice Orpun:** Gah! Are you undead?

You're alive! I mean, you're not undead. If you were undead you'd tell me, right?

**You:** I'm not undead.

**Orpun:** Sorry about that. I just... these corrupted townspeople... ruining everything. I can't die here. I'm not rich yet!

**You:** I found your journal.

**Orpun:** My journal! I thought I'd never see it again. This journal is very important to my future. You, uh, didn't read this, did you?

*Everything will get back on track now.*

Of course you didn't. A trustworthy warrior like you wouldn't do that. Anyway, I'm leaving this village. Hamatai is a good teacher and all, but blacksmithing is too much work. He'll probably be a revenant in a day or so anyway.

*There's no money in blacksmithing.*

-Gained 200 XP-

Master, I think I'm done with blacksmithing.

**Hamatai:** Is the Guard still fighting?

**Orpun:** Uh... yes?

**Hamatai:** Then shut up and do your job!
Orpun

**Orpun:** Master, I quit!

**Hamatai:** I already told you! You can't leave!

**Orpun:** Sorry, but I'm not gonna find my fortune in this dump.

**Hamatai:** I won't leave as long as the Guard is here.

0.7:The Proving Grounds

"I'll do it. I'll be the assassin this time," said Lusung, the slightest of grins on his face. Yungmuk couldn't help but grin in return. Facing down the "Masked Assassin" inside the Proving Grounds was a Hongmoon tradition for all new disciples, and Lusung seemed eager to play the part for Cricket. The Masked Assassin provided a fast, hard lesson in recovering Chi, an essential battlefield technique for any warrior.

Yungmuk gently pushed back on Lusung's request. "Master Hong would say that I should probably be the one to put on the mask," Yungmuk said. But Lusung was persistent, and Yungmuk quickly relented. Lusung could have his fun. Yungmuk did hope that Lusung wouldn't be too hard on Cricket. It was supposed to just be an exercise, after all.

## Quest Dialogue

### Read the letter by clicking on the letter icon in the Quest Log

**Brother Yungmuk:** It looks like you've received a letter. You had better read it.

Focus on your training!

**Letter from Masked Assassin:** "A cricket that only trains in the light will not be prepared to fight the dark. If you wish to become a true disciple of Hongmoon, go to the Proving Grounds and confront your fear."

### Speak with Yungmuk at the Duel Hall

**Brother Yungmuk:** Have you been summoned to the Proving Grounds?

*Yungmuk thought*: Cricket mastered the basic techniques faster than any student I've seen. Even I took longer...

You've done well today, Cricket. We will continue training, but you are certainly a capable student.

Your next trial will prove more challenging. All Hongmoon disciples must enter the Proving Grounds. The test represents the fear we all carry inside ourselves.

If you are to be a true member of the Hongmoon, you must conquer that fear. I will take you to the cavern, but you must enter alone.

-You gained 1400 XP-

-You have reached level 2.-

### Follow Yungmuk to the Proving Grounds

Let's not waste any time.

The Proving Grounds are this way.

We're almost there.

### Fight the Masked Warrior

**Masked Warrior:** Techniques are worthless if you lack the courage to wield them.

Show me what you have learned.

### Crawl out of range of the enemy and use 1 to Recover Chi

**Masked Warrior:** When you are Near Death, crawl to a safe place and Recover Chi.

* Chi Restoration: Gathers scattered chi to recover to fighting condition.

### Use the Healing Potion and recover your HP

**Brother Lusung:** You didn't pay attention to what I said. Drink the Healing Potion and come back after you recover your HP.

**Brother Yungmuk:** The test is not over, Cricket. You are not a proper disciple until it is completed.

### Speak with Lusung

**Brother Lusung:** You... were chosen.

You made it, Cricket. You almost look like a warrior now.

Master Hong must have faith in you. Take time to reflect and come back when you're ready.

Outfits

**Outfit Database:** http://bns-fashion.com/

Your clothes don’t determine your fighting ability, but can influence how the world around you reacts to your presence.

While a martial artist relies on their physical prowess, mastery of their skills, and control of the elements around them, their clothes aren’t entirely purposeless. While clothing doesn’t impart anything to combat ability, both visual aesthetic and symbolism of what the clothing represents can be important.

The outfits you wear will have no effect on your abilities, but some do have additional attributes. First, you must be wearing an outfit in order to gain the benefits from your Soul Shield. Beyond that, certain costumes can also represent your allegiance to a faction, and donning such an outfit will flag you for attack by those of the opposing faction. While your blue or red PvP costume will show you’re either fighting for the Cerulean Order or the Crimson Legion, there are other, regional factions you’ll come across during your travels. By wearing their clothes you can influence the faction’s members—and their enemies—to react to you in a different way. This can come in handy if you’re being sent to infiltrate an enemy stronghold. But your allegiance is not bound to these regional factions. You can easily obtain the costumes belonging to each regional faction, and choose to wear them at any point.

## Wardrobe

The Wardrobe feature (F3) allows you to browse all of the costumes available within the game—including ones for the Summoner’s Familiar—preview their appearance on your character, and even tells you where they can be obtained. It also serves as a storage closet where you can keep the costume looks you’ve already obtained, and quickly swap to different outfits. Some outfits are just torso coverings, like shirts and pants, while others might also include a matching head item, like a hat or mask.

Costumes drop from enemies and bosses, can be rewarded from completing quests and challenges, are unique drops from limited-time events and holidays, or can be purchased from the Hongmoon Store. You should try to collect as many as possible!

Gon

## Lore

The Gon believe that their ancestors were born from the breath of Dragons and they embrace this legend with pride.

Physical power and combative skill are treasured among the Gon. They seek to make themselves strong, capable, and able to overcome any challenge, and use their might for the good of others. This can make Gon somewhat easy to trick, as the greedy use the Gon's intimidating physique and trusting nature for personal gain. However, if you are true, friendships established with Gon are as strong as steel and you would have earned their loyalty for life.

In their day to day lives, Gon move and speak at a calm and measured pace. This deliberate pacing was started to help nullify the other Gon trait: their famously short tempers. With their massive frame and incredible strength, little can stand in the way of these mighty people once a Gon has been moved to anger.

Lyn

## Lore

The Lyn, with their large ears and dainty tails, are descendants from the Kirin, legendary animals that were both mischievous and unpredictable

The Lyn have not survived in this dangerous world by mere chance; they have innately acute senses which steer them clear from danger and allow them to see treachery and deception where others cannot. More famously, the Lyn use these highly attuned senses to converse with beings from the Spirit Realm granting them the ability to commune with Familiars and harness the power of the earth.

The Lyn are known for their somewhat unpredictable nature. During a single conversation, it is not unusual for a Lyn to convey a multitude of emotions, including hatred, fear, jealousy, love, and respect.

Major Rescue

## Quest Dialogue

**Bamboo Guard Buyong:** Warrior! You're just who I wanted to see. Members of the Char Coalition have been kidnapped... again. I told them to maybe get better security and they told me that I don't know what I'm talking about.

*The Dusk Adders won't back down!*

After a little detective work, I've concluded that the miners are being held captive in the Depleted Goldmine.

*Security will be tight...*

I'm starting to think that the Adders have a factory down there... I know the racket is run by three Overseers with codenames "Gu Du," "Ba Dun," and "Ug Li."

*Sounds like an intimidating trio.*

I'm sure the Char Coalition will appreciate your help. After you rescue them, perhaps you should give them a lecture on how not to get kidnapped again.

Go fight those Overseers! Show those Dusk Adders who's in charge!
