Leveling Characters – Tag System
After graduating, use the Tag system to level 2 characters at once!
Level up one tagged character and see the other gain the same EXP!
Normal character ↔ normal character two-way growth available!
The new season does not issue any “Fughar’s Timepiece” items.
How to utilize the "Tag" system to the fullest!
For instance, tag character A with character B and defeat monsters!
B will also gain the same EXP that A acquires!
Once character B has reached a suitable level through monsters defeated by A,
you can untag them and continue to pair
and level multiple characters like C, D, E, F, and more!
Experience a system that allows you to level multiple characters with just one
The "Tag" system!
* New Adventurers can graduate their season characters, tag with various classes, and embark on adventures!
* Only normal characters can be tagged.
※ The Fughar's Timepiece acquired via the 2023 Summer Season will be removed during the Dec 27, 2023 (Wed) maintenance.
What is “tag” or “tagging characters”?
Tagging characters is a feature that lets you link two different characters in your Family so you can instantly switch between in most locations (excludes areas for certain content such as Node/Conquest Wars, Altar of Blood, and Final Battle).
This is different to how you normally switch between characters with Character Selection as two tagged characters will always share their in-game location.
Tagged characters will also find their EXP gains shared between each other.
Both characters must be at least Lv. 7 and be in the same town (excluding Kusha, Abun, and Muiqunn) to be tagged
* You can untag your characters only in the town where you initially tagged them.
Please click the untag button or the chain icon in the tag characters window.
Left-click the tag button on the top left corner of the screen when the characters you want to tag are in the same town.
This will display the portraits of other characters in your Family along with the currently logged-in character.
Select another character you want to tag and click the link button (chain icon) in the center of the screen or the tag button to apply the setting.
The All-New Season
Here are questions you might have.
I'm playing in the Summer Season. Is there something I need to prepare?
All you need to do is to enjoy your current character without any concerns!
If you've completed all the preparations to transition to the normal server, feel free to choose to graduate.
I'm sure you will soon receive a Season Character Ticket,
which will allow you to either progress with a season character or to save for later use.
(However, please note that the current Season Pass and the All-New Season Pass are different.)
What happens to my season gears and items?
[Not graduated from the Summer Season]
All season items will remain intact but will be deleted and automatically converted upon graduation.
[Graduated from the Summer Season]
All items will be deleted when the Season Character Ticket is granted.
What about the Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon?
As before, you will receive one exchange coupon as a graduation gift for each Season Character.
And any exchange coupons you have acquired and the exchange list will be retained without changes.
What happens when I delete a character that has graduated from the Summer Season and create a new Season character?
For adventurers in this case, their season characters will be automatically converted into normal characters during the Sept 20, 2023 (Wed) maintenance.
Furthermore, any season-related items you possess will be removed, and certain items will be converted into Silver and added to your inventory. For further details, please check [here].
How can I claim the rewards for the Season beginning on Sept 20 (Wed)?
[Not graduated from the Summer Season]
Graduate from your current Season Character and initiate a new Season using the Season Character Ticket to obtain the associated Season rewards.
Graduate from your current Season Character and initiate a new Season using the Season Character Ticket to obtain the associated Season rewards.
[Graduated from the Summer Season]
You can start the season by using the Season Character Ticket.
Can I recreate a character if I delete it in the season starting on Sept 20 (Wed)?
Yes, you can! The Season Character Ticket is consumed upon graduation, so even if you delete it, the ticket remains and lets you create another season character.
However, you won't receive rewards that the deleted Season Character had already earned, but you can still collect unreceived rewards.
The special reward for the new Season on Sept 20:
