Welcome... to the Hardcore Server,

a battlefield of blood and sand...

 

 

 

"All are foes, save myself."

Choose your champion for the battle of survival.

 
* Longsword, Greatsword, and Shield
* Master of Melee Combat
* Amulet/Scythe, Dark Magic
* Master of Evasion Skills
* Longbow, Dagger, Kamasylven Sword
* Agile Ranged Combat
* Destructive Axe and Iron Buster
* Crushin’ & Tossin’ Melee


'An unfamiliar inscription appears... Where am I...?’

Everything is unfamiliar. Consult the guide.

 



 

'Into the endless desert, you take your first step...' 

Which strategy will you take to survive?

 

 

[A] You choose the path of progression

Forge ahead by slaying monsters and acquiring higher-level gear, ever vigilant against the enemies that may strike unexpectedly.
Complete daily quests at the sanctum and defeat monsters to steadily accumulate ”Offering Points.”.
However... you must always be mindful and take the safer road to ensure your hard-earned Survival Points are not lost upon an untimely death.


[B] You choose to face your foes

Defeat other Adventurers to seize a portion of their painstakingly-gathered ”Survival Points,” a sure-fire way to accrue points at a speedy pace.
Swiftly collect these points from Adventurer kills, then offer them up to bask in wealth and honor in a short amount of time.
However, never forget that your own points can also be taken in the same manner...


 
A recent journal found buried near a sanctum revealed that a lone Adventurer, who stayed undiscovered and far from strife, was fortunate enough to stumble upon a large amount of offering points...
 
Another claims an Adventurer struck fear into the heart of the sanctum’s manager, dispatching countless souls in record time before vanishing without trace.




 

'An epic sound echoes through the vast desert.'

Powerful monsters appear in your path,

Where do your steps lead?

 


 

'Offering Points kept safe with your life'

You feel you’ve amassed enough points.

Will you offer them to the Mysterious Light?

 


 

 

'Proof of your Hardcore efforts'

You claim Hardcore Honor from the offering.

Which items shall you exchange them for? 

 

[20,000 Honor]
Advice of Valks (+250)

[10,000 Honor]
Advice of Valks (+200)

[500 Honor]
Hardcore Gold Bar Box

  Check out the 'Manage Currency' left of the minimap for more items.

 
 


For two hours each day, forge your own path

to survival and embrace the thrill on the Hardcore Server.
