Job Changing Holy Legend Players create a new character in the beginning and they have only basic attack and defense abilities. Once players reach a certain level, they are able to choose a job and their character’s abilities will increase and more specialize. For example, human being is able to choose the first job at level 10 to become warriors and rogue. Warriors are mainly based on close combats and rogue are able to attack from far range. Warriors are able to change a second job to temple of riders and church of samurais. Church of samurais are armed with powerful attacks and normally plays as the main attacker in a party whereas armed with a powerful sacrificing spirit, temple of riders are a party’s solid defender and they use their abilities to withstand most of the attacks from enemies.
Survival skills In Holy Legend, the equipment gained by players from monster drops are usually useless. To strive for the best and to be able to enjoy abilities raises, players have to collect specific jewels and ingredients and through a specific method to yield and rise level. For every level raised, the elements will be greatly increased. For example, a +7 weapon attack rate is much higher than a +6 weapon. The higher level the equipments are, the higher the elements abilities will be raised but the chances of increasing subsequent levels will be smaller. At the same time, compared to the basic equipments gained by player, no any different gloss. The appearance of the equipments which had raised level will be nicer and shiny. It is definitely a personalized choice.
Occupation Transfers Once Holy Legend players select their race, they will start with a common character that has only basic offensive and defensive abilities. Once the players reach a certain level, they will be able to choose different occupations and obtain new and more specialized abilities based on the occupation the choose. For example, players of the human race will be able to choose their first occupation at level 10. Among the options they have include warriors and archery. Warriors are able to mainly based around close combat abilities and archery are specialized in ranged attacks. Warriors will then be able to switch to a second occupation at a certain level and become either Paladins or Church Samurais. Church Samurai are armed with powerful physical attacks and plays the part of primary damage dealer in a party. Paladins on the other hand play a "tank" role, defending their party members and using their unique abilities to withstand the most powerful of enemy attacks.
Life Skills In Holy Legend, the equipment gained from monster drops are usually not the best available. To obtain the best items and to make the most of their abilities, the players will have to collect rare jewels and materiels and combine them with specific recipes to upgrade their equipment. For every level of upgrade, the materiels required will be significantly increased. For example, a +7 weapon upgrade has much higher material requirements than a +6 weapon upgrade. However, each subsequent upgrade on a weapon has an increased chance of failure when upgrading. There are also visual changes to a weapon as it is upgraded such as a brighter glow at higher levels which serves as a way to personalize your weapon.
PK System The Holy Legend PK system is divided into 2 types, the faction type and the flagged type. PK ing in Holy Legend will be subject to certain restrictions. For example, there will be security zones to protect public areas. Players who PK in the security zone will become red state players and so on. There will also be a "Holy Tradition" System to encourage player versus player combat. If players kill players from an opposing faction, they will not be punished but instead be rewarded with contribution points and prestige. When a player accumulates a certain amount of contribution points and prestige, they will be able to obtain rewards from a specific NPC. At the same time, bounties will occasionally be offered for specific targets, offering rewards and special incentives for successful assassinations.
Legionnaire System In Holy Legend , the Legionnaire system is similar to guilds in other games of this genre However, Holy Legend offers more features in this respect, for example, the Legionnaire grading system. At the early grades, a Legion can only hold a maximum of 20 players. However, through a series of special quests, contributions and obtaining specific items, the Legion upgrade it's grade. At higher grades, the Legion will enjoy benefits such as a being able to hold more players. Legions will also receive incentives to cooperate with other Legions to complete certain tasks. In addition, in events such as large scale wars, such as in the Inner Mongolia hegemony PvP event, teams can only represent their Legion if it is of a specific grade.
Fusion System In some areas, players may not be able to amass or organize large enough numbers to adventure or explore. In this scenario, players can choose to fuse with players of the same faction (for example a Light Elf Enchantress can fuse with a Human Paladin or an Orc Berserker with a Dark Elf Screamer) if certain requirements are met. The result of two players fusing will be a single character with a large more powerful unique abilities that would easily defeat any foe that proved too challenging for two separate players.
