  • PvP Rules: Combat between players is completely disabled on the island.
  • Loot Rules: Your belongings are safe; other players cannot loot your corpse or steal items within this zone.

2. +60% Skill Gain Boost[edit]

A special magical aura envelops the island, accelerating your character progression:

  • Boost Effect: Receive a +60% faster skill gain chance boost for all actions on the island.
  • Limit: This boost applies to all skills currently below 70.0. Once a skill reaches 70.0, progression rates return to normal.
