Blessed Bath



Time: the whole day
Date: Unlimited
Level: 30-100
Attempts: 2 times each day
Event Details: The Valley of Light is known as a holy place in the land of Vidalia. It has been said that bathing in the Blessed Bath can greatly increase the experience of adventures. Be warned, however, that gaining this experience will be no walk in the park. Do you have what it takes?
Event Rules: Upon entering the Blessed Baths, your HP will begin to rapidly decrease while you steadily gain experience. How long you are able to survive in the Baths will be determined by your party's teamwork.
Recommended Party Size: 3+
Event Reward: Level-Based EXP, decreasing as you level up.


Location:
Access to the Blessed Bath by talking to the Mystic Priest (Event) NPC in the center of Starglade.




Point of Blessed Bath

It's a fast free semi-easy way of getting Experience, without killing mobs. However, it is not a free pass of Exp, you must earn it by surviving it. To start a bath, you need 5 members in a party, this will maximize your survival chance as well as your Exp. Once you enter the bath you will gain Holy Water in your inventory. Put the Holy Water into the your skill bar as it is the fastest way to gain access to it during the bath.



Once you're done, go onto the bridge, the furthest your group should go is (X:44 Y:31) or some where close to the center of the bridge but not any further up, due to the lightning strikes that will occur later in the bath, in which you will take damage. When you run low on HP run back down the bridge(not toward the lightning) and wait til a member re-heals your or the group and go back to the bridge.

Once the leader initiates the Bath, by talking to NPC, you will start losing HP, in which we call a 'tick.' The amount of damage you take is proportional to your maximum HP, so having tons of HP will not help you. The amount of HP healed by Holy Water also depends on your maximum HP, and your Heal rating will not boost this so everyone will have the same healing power. After you use Holy water you must wait several ticks or about 1min for the Holy Water to reset and be used again.

When you use the Holy Water, a Targeting Circle will appear as if you are casting an Area-of-Effect spell. Target the group with it. If you go outside the bridge there maybe a chance that the heal may glitch or may miss a member outside the group.

In order to have a successful run in the Bath, is to be organized. Giving each member a place and an order number. By using the system box as a counter for ticks, a successful bath uses a 3,2,3,2,3 tick order or 3,2,3,3,3 order. What this says is Member 1 will wait after 3 ticks (lost of HP) to use Holy water, then member 2 will heal 2 ticks after and so forth. (
Hint: the first Soul Root Crystal Reward is the 8th tick, so the 4th & 5th members don't need to count until they see SRC). Once the 5th member heals, you repeat the process again and again until you get the 'Mother Goddess has weaken' sign in your chat box.

You will receive Soul Root Crystal during your bath, the amount you receive is either 1 or 2 SRC during each midpoint. There are 5 mid-points in 1 bath run so your chances of receiving SRC per bath run is 5-10 or 10-20 in a 2bath runs while the average is really somewhere between 13-18.
You use SRCs to make Soul Shards which are then used to help improve your Soul Development.

Note:Level 50 Priest may be able to solo baths, due to one of their lvl 50 skills. Failed Holy Water  will occur due to glitches and please be patient about that. People will forget to use Holy Water because they lost count, looking at another website etc.. Most importantly if you see a low level player in the party ask them if they've done bath before and teach them as they may be a bane to your successful bath.



Redemption



Time: the whole day
Date: Unlimited
Level: 40-100
Attempts: 3 times each day 
Event Details: The arrival of the undead has led to various evil monsters showing up all around Vidalia. Vanquish them!
Event Rules: After accepting this quest, travel out into the wilderness and slay monsters within 2 levels of your own to acquire a special quest item. Use this quest item in the specified location to summon a boss mob. Defeat the boss and return to the quest giver to receive your reward.
Recommended Party Size: 4+
Typical main party members include knight for tanking and priest for healing. Due to the nature of this event, it is best to max out the party so everyone one can receive a refining capsule. A 5-party group mean everyone can 15 Caps instead of 12 if your in a 4 party group. Refining Capsule are used for Delivery event.
Event Reward: 80 Honor
1 Material Refining Capsule & Level-Based EXP

Note:Mob from Redemption are close to being dungeon bosses without drops, some are stronger than others. Watch out for Phoenix, Lycanlord, Supreme Commander & Eternal Servant. Easier mobs are Bear-lord, Barbarian.
When you hit level60 check to see if you can get a 4th Redemption.
