Experience Auto Share The monsters defeated or quests completed will give experience that is distributed automatically to the entire party in a equal portion with the total being subject to variance of level difference. 2. Experience Distribution The experience is given according to your own individual contribution from the damage you gave to a targeted monster. In a party with the distribution option selected the level difference between the party leader will not restrict members from joining. The experience is given according to your own individual contribution from the damage you gave to a targeted monster. In a party with the distribution option selected the level difference between the party leader will not restrict members from joining.
There are 2 methods to item distribution: Item auto share or Item distribution. 1. What is Item Auto Share? In a party the items will be automatically shared among the users. For instance, if there are A to D members, items will be given in turn starting with the A user and then the second item going to the B user and so on. 2. What is Item Distribution? When a user defeats a monster, the item is distributed to that player. When the item distribution system is selected, the user who contributes the most damage has priority to the items that appear. ____________________________________________________________________________

Blue Berserker ModeThe Blue Berserker Mode is a more advanced form of the conventional Berserker Mode. Characters at level 95 or higher can learn this Mode after performing a certain quest. Unlike the conventional Berserker Mode where the aura was red, the Blue Berserker Mode turns blue, and it is divided into groups of 5 levels.
The Blue Berserker Mode has a damage absorption ability. As the rank increases, its ability also increases. The Berserker gauge on the interface also changes from red to blue. 
Combined BerserkerCombined Berserker is a way of strengthening the powers where party members having activated the Blue Berserker Mode can combine their Berserker energies with each other. Combined Berserker is activated when 2 or more party members activate the Blue Berserker Mode within a certain range with EXP share and Item Auto Share on. When Combined Berserker is activated, the Blue Berserker abilities are maintained and the attack damage is increased.
However, even with the Blue Berserker Mode rank increasing, the attack damage of Combined Berserker does not change from the base increase. TitlesPlayers receive titles as they complete the quest for each rank to learn the Blue Berserker Mode. The title is placed in front of the character name and it varies from one rank to another.
However, the title doesn’t show when the character is in the Profession mode. Pure Water of VitalityWhen you are able to activate the Blue Berserker Mode, you can purchase the Pure Water of Vitality that is appropriate to your Blue Berserker Mode rank from a potion merchant NPC. Made of the dew that contains the pristine energy of the early morning, the Pure Water of Vitality fills the entire body with vitality, increasing the ability to focus and the duration of the Berserker Mode. Pure Water of Vitality grants an hour-long buff. You can left-click the Pure Water of Vitality buff and select “Regenerate Blue Berserker Mode 100%” to fill the Blue Berserker Mode gauge. Using the regeneration ability dissipates the Pure Water of Vitality buff and the player cannot use Pure Water of Vitality again for 20 minutes. However, if the player does not use the regeneration ability and buff runs out after 1 hour, Pure Water of Vitality can be used again immediately. ____________________________________________________________________________
