    • Efficacy of Agility - buff for long-range attacking classes (archers)
    • Efficacy of Wisdom - buff for magic attacking classes (mages)
  • Every Monday at 1.00 at night, the buffs in each region change at random to one of the 3 types above; if, for example, Bistakon had Efficacy of Strength and it changed to Efficacy of Wisdom, don't despair, because it has appeared in one of the other two locations

    • Wild Maguen may interact with one of your party members at random. That character has 10 seconds to use Maguen Plasma Collector on it. When the device is used, the character gets a beneficial effect. The plasma buff can be raised up to level 3 by collecting more plasma from Wild Maguen. If a character has raised their buff to level 3, there is a chance it turns into a party buff
    • There is a chance that Maguen Plasma Collector overloads when used. In that case it removes all the plasma you have collected

    • You can use Nevit's Hourglass only from the level category your level belongs to. For example, if you bought Nevit's Hourglass at level 79 and did not use it, you will not be able to use it at level 80, because your level is already in another category
    • Example 1: Character A is level 63 and buys Nevit's Hourglass. In less than 20 hours they reach level 64. The limit timer is not reset, and they have to wait out the remaining time before they can buy a new one
    • Example 2: Character B is level 75 and buys Nevit's Hourglass. In less than 20 hours they reach level 76. Because level 76 already belongs to the next level category, the limit timer is reset, and character B can immediately buy Nevit's Hourglass
