Help Blaanid recover her lost memories with the revamped Memoir questline! Obtain new rewards, level up your character, and train your skills as you proceed through your journey in Erinn. Don't forget to read our previous announcement to see what is being changed/removed in this update. Check out the details below.
Blaanid's Brave Boost
With the new Blaanid's Brave Boost quests, you can level up quickly and earn AP!
If your cumulative level is less than 5,000, completing Blaanid's Brave Boost quests grants 5x EXP.
AP is also doubled when leveling up.
This effect is applied only with the experience obtained through Blaanid's Brave Boost quests. AP is earned at a fixed rate of 2, regardless of the use of items that affect the amount AP that can be earned.
Whenever you complete a quest, you will receive a Rebirth Potion.
If you leveled up by completing a quest, reset your level by rebirthing.
Please note that you will only receive a Rebirth Potion if you are under cumulative level 5,000.
When a Rebirth Potion is used, the waiting time for rebirthing is reset, and you can rebirth immediately.
Only characters under cumulative level 5,000 can use the Rebirth Potion given.

With our most recent update on April 21, 2021, we flagged a number of low-level characters that have not been logged into for many years. Characters that meet all of the following criteria will be deactivated, in advance of being fully removed during our June update, tentatively scheduled for June 9, 2021:
Lv. 61 or lower.
Have not logged into the account since December 15, 2016.
Are not Guild Leaders, Alliance Leaders, or have unclaimed cash items within the Auction House.
If you have a character that falls under those restrictions, it will be in a Deactivated state. If you wish to preserve them, simply log into your account once prior to the June 2021 update, and they will be unaffected by this clean-up process.
Note: This process will result in the names of the deleted characters being available for use by others.
