Difference between revisions of "Light/Dark Allegiance"

Revision as of 12:02, 30 July 2008

A big part of playing is about becoming a hero and we wanted to emphasize this with our system, which fits perfectly with the server name. Regardless of the side you choose, you can be heroic!

Getting started

First, you should decide on which allegiance you want to join, to register with either side (Light or Dark), talk to the allegiance NPC located in Prontera by the Tool shop.

To know more about each side, you can read Chapter 0

So you've chosen a side, now what?

You earn 5 Allegiance points for joining, what are those points? We'll get to that later. Joining a side allows you to participate in the special Light VS Dark events and quests and eventually earn heroic gears. I'll detail a list of the quests later in this post. As for events, they are held from time to time by the GMs either in-game or in forums.

The Allegiance Points

You get them by participating in events or doing quests. The more points you have the higher hero you are. You'll need those points for various things in game, but you never "spend" them, they just keep getting higher.

Here's a list of what you can currently do with Allegiance Points, more stuff to come.

• 30 Points : Can wear the clothing palette "Evil Zone" (Dark) or "Sky View" (Light).
• 40 Points : Can enter the 4th level of Geffen Dongeon.
• 50 Points : Can participate in the monthly event "Trials of Heroes" (TOH)
• 75 Points : Can make tame for Heroic Pet (Angeling or Deviling)
• 85 Points : Can start the "Tower" Quest.
• 100 Points : Can start the "Helm Quest" (to make Blessed Helm or Cursed Helm)

What if you earn points of the opposite allegiance? That actually results in loosing points of your own allegiance. For example if you are Dark side and have 15 Dark points, and you earn 5 Light points you'll end up with 10 Dark points. So you cannot try to get both allegiance.

Since most quests can only be done once, you'll want to be careful when doing a quest or choosing which points you want, because once lost, they cannot be retrieved, being a hero is also about making the right decisions.

All your characters on the same account will have the same Allegiance and same amount of Allegiance Points. If you have more than 1 account you can however make them different side.

The Allegiance Quests

We will not be telling you the exact locations of the Quest (part of the fun is finding them), but we will be adding hints here to help you.

When talking to the Allegiance NPC, you'll notice we used 2 very distinctive colors for Light related words (a sorta peach/beige) and Dark related words (dark purple), if you see those colors again you can be sure that the NPC has something to do with the Light VS Dark system.

We encourage players to help each other, if you found a quest NPC and want to share it with a friend we have no problem with that, however, please do not post specific locations or easy guidance on the forum or main chat.

Here's a detail of the current quests:

Quest #1

is about making a sweet little girl happy by bringing her something she really wants, she's waiting for her father to return, he's out to sea.

Quest #2

is about exploring the world of RO, there is a lady who likes exploring also, if you find her she will reward you for reaching such far and exotic places.

Quest #3

is about 2 young lovers in the Land of Destiny... Will you help their romance Love or crush their dream Cry?

Quest #4

the lost friend, it's about someone who worries about a friend of his, he's near a rocky area where people use picks.

Quest #5

is not custom to hero server, but because it is so heroic, Valkyrie herself will reward you with Allegiance points for your effort.

There are other seasonal quests, such as one only available during the Christmas holiday and another around Halloween.

More to come soon!

The Light VS Dark events

Some special events are another way to earn Allegiance Points. To know more about the previous events you can check the various chapters of the hero story. GMs will try to advertise Light VS Dark event in advance but they could also make some spontaneous events.

One regular heroic event is called the "Trials of Heroes" it is held once a month and is the only way to earn hero wings. See this post for more details:

The Hero Gears

To know more about all custom gears that heRO server has to offer, check this post: http://hero-server.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=2020

• Heroic Wings:

The wing system is evolutive, meaning your wings will "grow" as you become a higher hero. All hero wings are obtainable in the ToH event and you can only ever have 1, to gain a higher evolution wing you trade your previous one. For example to earn Mini Angelic Wings you must trade Angeling Wings.
