Old School Features

Economy System
Custom currencies are used on Sayha to purchase equipments and various items, just like on Luna.

Wind, Water and Fire Mantras are obtained in Low, Medium and High Level Zones. These currencies are used to purchase armors, weapons, jewels (from their respective stores in towns and custom NPCs) as well as various other items.

Silver, Not allowed, and Dreams Coins can be obtained by farming mini-raids and raids. They can also be purchased for Adenas through the Luxury Shop in Giran. Certain equipments requires these currencies.

Raid Heart and Souls can be obtained from mini-raids and raids. These currencies can be used to purchase Ancient equipments as well as various other rewards through Aonix and the Raid Manager Astrake.

Battles, Deathmatch, Survival Points as well as Event Coupons and Medals can be obtained while playing events - points and medals are obtained upon killing an ennemy while Coupons are obtained when winning an event. Bring these currencies to Lorain to exchange them for various rewards. Every currency offers different rewards.

Custom Hunting Grounds
To increase players interaction, custom currencies such as Mantras are only dropped in certain zones - Low, Medium and High Level Zones. You can teleport to these zones using the Gatekeepers.

Low level zones, recommended to players between 1-40:

Rebirth System
A character may complete a maximum of 3 Rebirths - every reborn increases your character strength. Upon reborn, your character is deleveled back down to 40, and you are given a Rebirth Book.

Bring this book to the Rebirth Manager in Aden in order to exchange it for a permanent passive Rebirth skill.

Spawn Protection
Upon teleport or log-in, a temporary spawn protection is applied on your character to avoid receiving damages while your client is still loading.

The protection lasts 30seconds upon teleport and 60seconds upon login - the effect may be removed before that, if you move, or use a skill, for example.

Newbies Protection
Killing a player 10 (or more) levels lower than you in a low or medium hunting zone is not permitted. Upon targeting a player, if he's considered as a "newbie", a warning will be shown. If you kill him, you'll be temporary petrified and ported to Floran Village.

Pvp Towns
Pvping in towns (peace zones) is possible, as long as your target is flagged and do not have any karma.

New Features

New Event Engine
A new event engine has been written from scratch for Sayha. It is a mix of the good old ideas from the Luna event engine with new ideas. Detailed information on the new engine are available below.

Schedules
Events are randomly selected and runs once every hour - 10minutes registrations, 20minutes of gameplay then a 30minutes break.

Ranks
Every single of your kills and deaths are stored in our database, and a rank of the best players is available for every single events. Your kill/death ratio is also used to balance out teams.

Smart Spawn System
On our old event engine, spawns were pre-defined.

For example, in Hunter Deathmatch, characters were teleported to a random spawn-point obtained from a list of static spawn positions. Or in Hunter Battles, characters would land in a peaceful place and then select their desired spawn-point from a list of static spawn position through the Gatekeeper.

We've gotten rid of this for various reasons:
1) No more camping at the team peaceful place, increasing event activity.
2) No more spawns-camping.
3) No more "easy feeding".

Spawns handling works differently for every event.

Survival:
Characters are teleported to a random place inside the town.

Team Survival:
Characters are teleported to the pre-defined spawn-point of their team.

Deathmatch:
Characters are teleported to a random place inside the town.

Battles:
Upon teleportation to the event, players are teleported to their team-spawn position. Upon re-spawn (after death), you will be teleported to the closest living party-member.

If all of your party members are dead, you'll be teleported to the closest living team-mate. If all of your team-mates are dead, you'll be teleported to your team-spawn position.

Killing Rewards
You receive Event Points for every single of your kill. Based on the event you play, the Event Points currency and rewards varies.

Winning Rewards
In addition to the rewards on kill, you obviously get rewarded when winning an event. The reward depends on the event as well as your kill ratio.

Combos
Killing ennemies without dying increases your combo points... and combo points gives you bonuses. Below, detailed information on combo points a-beep-t necessary to unlock certain bonuses.

- 5 Combo Points.
The event points received are doubled.
- 10 Combo Points.
You feel the Event Hero Blessing effects (Lv. 1). Increases speed by 15, P.Def, M.Def, HP, MP, and CP by 25%. Additionally increases P.Atk and M.Atk by 10%.
- 15 Combo Points.
The Event Hero Blessing effects (Lv. 2) power increases. Increases speed by 30, P.Def, M.Def, HP, MP, and CP by 50%. Additionally increases P.Atk and M.Atk by 20%.

The Event Hero Blessing effects (Lv. 3) power further increases. Increases speed by 45, P.Def, M.Def, HP, MP, and CP by 75%. Additionally increases P.Atk and M.Atk by 30%.

The Event Hero Blessing effects (Lv. 4) power increases to the maximum. Increases speed by 60, P.Def, M.Def, HP, MP, and CP by 100%. Additionally increases P.Atk and M.Atk by 40%.

During events played in teams, Hero Blessing can be shared with up to 5 team-mates. Team-mates standing close to you will be buffed up once per minute with a Lesser Hero Blessing.

The effects are less powerful than those given on the Event Hero himself, however, and only lasts 60seconds instead of staying till death.

Here's detailed information on the effect bonuses for each levels:
- Lv. 1
Increases speed by 5, P.Def, M.Def, HP, MP, and CP by 10%. Additionally increases P.Atk and M.Atk by 5%.

- Lv. 4

Every time an you receive a combo bonus (at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Combo Points), your HP, MP, and CP are regenerated back to full.

Competitions
From time to time, events may turn in competition mode. In top of the usual event rules, additional rules applies during Events Competitions.

- Your equipment enchant level bonuses are temporary disabled.
- Clan and Hero skills are temporary disabled.
- Ancient and Augmented Items are not use-able.

Your kills and deaths during competitions are ranked, and, every weeks, the top 3 players of every events are rewarded with Competition Tickets.

Randomized Locations and Game Rules
Unlike Luna's Events, where event location and game rules are always the same, Sayha Events are always different. Every time a new event takes place, not only the location is randomized but also the game rules.

A common rule affecting all available events is the Buff Rule. 4 different buff modes are available:

- Buffless.
You start without any buff, but obtain Event Herbs by killing your opponents. Buffs obtained through Herbs are kept-after-death.
- Predefined Primary Buff Set.
You are given 5 predefined buffs - Mages and Fighters both receives Windwalk, Shield and Magic Barrier. Fighters additionally receives Haste and Might while Mage gets Acumen and Empower.
- Predefined Improved Buff Set.
You are given buffs, songs, and dances, those you would usually get by requesting an automated full-buff on a Town Buffer.
- Desired Buff Set.
At the beginning of the event after teleportation, you are given 60seconds to buff up using the Event Buffers available in town. Upon resurection we ensure you always have all the buffs you've had selected at the Buffers. Should you fail to pick-up your desired buffs during the first 60seconds of the event, you are allowed to return to the Event Buffers up to 3 additional times for a limited period of time, 60seconds at first then 45 and 30. Standing up while being dead will lead you there.

Other than the buff rules, the events goal rules may also be customized. Detailed information of every possible modification for each event is available in this post.

Don't run bitch, don't run!
