Game Guide

This is a cumulative game description, not a list of changes introduced by one patch.

A new player should be able to begin with this page, understand how character and equipment progression works, and then find the operating rules for skills, hunting zones, raids, clans, Clan Arena, Olympiad, sieges and other systems.

This page explains the whole playable ruleset. It does not assume that the reader already knows earlier chronicles. A feature is introduced together with its prerequisites, access method, operating rules, rewards and known limitations wherever those details are recoverable.

The page describes the latest recoverable behavior, using 2.9.5 as the target server patch. Official public material clearly identifies the major late branch as Secret of the Empire 2.9. Earlier functionality is therefore retained unless a later source explicitly changed it.

If you want to know what is classic in general there is an old big guide for patch 1.5 Age Of Splendor available here. A lot of things remain unchanged since then.

How to read this guide

• All main rules describe the latest evidenced behavior for the target ruleset.
• Historical behavior is mentioned only when it helps explain why an older guide may show a different value.
• A region note identifies content that was published only for a specific official service.
• A data note means that the feature is confirmed, but an exact formula, probability or table was not publicly preserved. The missing value is not invented.
• Later Kamael, Shadow of the Kamael, Essence and Aden-service systems are not included unless they are shown only as an explicit incompatibility warning.

Cumulative inheritance from older Classic patches

This guide treats the target as an accumulated ruleset. A system introduced or formally documented in an older Classic branch remains part of the main game description when no later pre-Kamael source explicitly removes or replaces it.

The main body always uses the latest recovered behavior. Older values are kept only in historical notes when they were explicitly superseded. This prevents a late-game feature such as S-grade equipment from being documented without the older A-grade, crafting, skill, stat and access systems required to reach it.

New-player progression roadmap

This section gives the shortest end-to-end explanation of how a character develops. Detailed rules for each system appear later on the page.

Levels 1-19 - starting class and No-grade equipment

• Create one of the five original races: Human, Elf, Dark Elf, Orc or Dwarf.
• The character begins as a base Fighter or Mystic class, except Dwarves, who use the Dwarven Fighter starting class.
• Starter quests, monster drops and village services provide No-grade equipment and basic consumables.
• Learn skills from the appropriate class trainer. Learning normally consumes SP and can additionally require a spellbook or consumable resource when the skill definition says so.
• First Class Transfer quests can be started at level 19. The actual transfer becomes available at level 20.

Levels 20-39 - First Class and D-grade progression

• Complete the First Class Transfer at level 20.
• D-grade is the normal equipment tier for this band.
• Learn the First Class skill set and begin using the weapon and armor type intended for the selected class.
• Second Class Transfer is a three-stage quest sequence. Its stages begin at levels 35, 37 and 39.
• Complete all required stages and reach level 40 to perform the Second Class Transfer.

Levels 40-51 - Second Class and C-grade progression

• Complete the Second Class Transfer at level 40.
• C-grade becomes the normal equipment tier.
• The character now has the complete Second Class identity, including role-defining active, passive, buff, debuff, summon, song or dance skills.
• Class skills may require a specific weapon, shield, armor category, spellbook, Spirit Ore, Soulstone or other resource. These conditions are enforced when the skill is learned and used.

Levels 52-60 - B-grade progression

• B-grade equipment is the normal progression tier from level 52.
• B-grade equipment can be obtained through crafting, drops, raids, exchanges and the normal player economy.
• High-level hunting zones, repeatable quests and raid content become the primary source of recipes and materials.

Levels 61-75 - A-grade progression

• A-grade equipment is usable from level 61.
• A-grade can be obtained through high-level raid drops, crafting, Blacksmith exchange, Giant's Cave materials, Rift of Heaven reward boxes, Forgotten Island treasure and the equipment-upgrade system.
• A-grade armor and accessories are commonly obtained sealed and must be unsealed at a Blacksmith with the required material.
• Begin collecting the resources needed for Third Class Transfer, high-level spellbooks and late-game equipment upgrades.

Level 76 and higher - Third Class, Attributes and endgame systems

• Complete the Third Class Transfer at level 76.
• Third-class dyes, third-class spellbooks and third-class skills become usable.
• The Attribute System becomes available after level 76 and Third Class Transfer.
• Giant's Cave, Tower of Insolence, Devil's Isle, elemental hunting zones and major raid content form the main progression path.
• Third-class spellbooks are purchased from Harmony in Gludio or Lorenzo in Aden for 31 Magical Tablets and 100,000 Adena. Magical Tablets can be obtained from specified high-level monsters, including Midnight Nightmare, Barif, Beast Lord, Destroyer and Hekaton Prime.
• Each race receives its corresponding mount skill after Third Class Transfer. The mount's fast-run skill provides Speed +95 for 30 seconds with a 45-second reuse.

Levels 79-84 - top A-grade and high-level hunting

• Forgotten Island is intended for approximately levels 79-84 and provides top A-grade weapon opportunities through Mysterious Treasure Chests.
• Imperial Tomb and Unstable Four Sepulchers provide A-grade equipment boxes, S-grade crafting materials and S-grade recipes.
• Antharas, Frintezza, Anakim, Lilith and elemental raid content provide high-end equipment, crafting materials and upgrade resources.

Level 80 and higher - certification and S-grade preparation

• Level progression missions beginning at level 80 provide Soul Crystals for the Certification Skill system.
• S-grade equipment is obtained by upgrading suitable A-grade equipment or by crafting S-grade recipes.
• Normal D-through-A upgrades are guaranteed when all requirements are met. Special upgrades into S-grade use an enchant-dependent success chance.
• S-grade crafting recipes normally have a 30% success rate and are used by Dwarven crafting classes.

Level-cap note: skill and content progression is explicitly documented through level 84. A separate authoritative statement of the final hard character-level cap for every regional 2.9.5 service was not recovered.

Characters, base attributes, classes and skill learning

Playable races and starting statistics

The target ruleset uses the five original races. Kamael and Ertheia are not available.

Base attributes and derived combat statistics

The racial values above are base attributes. They are not decorative class labels. The server converts them into derived combat values shown together with the attributes in the Character Information window (Alt + T).

Two official Classic 1.5 sources describe this system:

• The North American Classic launch notes publish the shorter core mapping.
• The official European Age of Splendor document publishes the extended mapping, including critical-damage influence, abnormal-state resistance and resurrection EXP restoration.

The extended Classic table is used below because it belongs to the same pre-Kamael Classic baseline and no later recovered Classic patch through 2.9/2.9.5 explicitly replaces it.

Sources:

• Official Lineage II Classic Launch Patch Notes - Basic Stats and Effects
• Official European Age of Splendor 1.5 preliminary patch notes - archived document mirror

Important distinctions between similarly named values

• P. Critical Rate is the chance of an eligible physical critical. P. Critical Damage is the damage produced when that critical occurs.
• M. Critical Rate is the chance of an eligible magical critical. M. Critical Damage is the damage produced by that magical critical.
• P. Accuracy is used against the target's P. Evasion for eligible physical hit checks.
• M. Accuracy and M. Evasion are the corresponding magic-related values. A skill can also use level, magic level, abnormal type, base chance and resistance data.
• M. Def. Rate from WIT is a separately named derived rate in the official Classic material. It is not the same field as the flat M. Def. value affected by MEN and equipment.
• Atk. Spd. and Casting Spd. affect action or casting execution. They do not automatically reduce every skill's reuse time. Cooldown is a separate property unless a skill, item or buff explicitly modifies reuse.
• Experience restoration after death refers to resurrection-type EXP recovery. It does not prevent the normal death penalty. The recovered overview does not publish the complete caster/target formula.
• Physical abnormal-state resistance and magical abnormal-state resistance use the abnormal category assigned to each skill by the server. The overview does not publish a complete classification of every stun, bleed, poison, sleep, hold, silence, fear or other effect.
• Shield Defense Success Rate controls whether the shield-defense event succeeds. The amount of damage prevented by a successful shield defense is a separate shield-defense value.

Base attributes are inputs, not fixed percentages

The official notes state which derived values each attribute affects, but they do not state that +1 attribute always means one fixed percentage or one fixed number.

The server applies a separate conversion rule for each derived value. Therefore:

• STR +1 is not the same as P. Atk. +1.
• DEX +1 can recalculate P. Accuracy, P. Evasion, Atk. Spd. and P. Critical Rate by different amounts.
• INT +1 is not the same as M. Atk. +1 because it also affects M. Critical Damage.
• WIT +1 is not interchangeable with a direct Casting Spd. +1% modifier.
• CON +1 affects several pools, recovery and defensive behaviors rather than only Max HP.
• MEN +1 affects M. Def., MP sustain and resistance-related values rather than only Max MP.

The exact per-point coefficients, caps, stacking order and integer rounding are not published in the recovered Classic patch notes. The website should therefore not claim a universal formula such as “1 DEX gives exactly X% Atk. Spd.” unless that value is taken from the selected server implementation and verified against the target retail data.

Quick player interpretation

A build combines three different layers: base attributes, direct derived-stat bonuses and the skill/item rules that decide whether a value is eligible to apply. Raising an attribute does not make an otherwise ineligible critical, shield defense, abnormal resistance or skill interaction automatically valid.

Direct combat bonuses and base-attribute bonuses are separate

A source can modify a base attribute, a derived value, or both:

• DEX +1 changes every DEX-derived value through the server's DEX conversion rules.
• P. Accuracy +3 adds directly to P. Accuracy and does not grant the other DEX-derived effects.
• INT +2 changes M. Atk. and M. Critical Damage through INT conversion.
• M. Atk. +8% modifies M. Atk. directly and does not grant INT or M. Critical Damage unless the item separately states those bonuses.
• WIT +2 and Casting Spd. +15% can exist on the same set. The WIT conversion and direct percentage bonus are both applied through their respective calculation stages.

Whenever a dye, armor set, talisman, bracelet, augmentation, transformation or skill changes a base attribute, the server must recalculate all derived values associated with that attribute. Removing the source must remove the complete contribution without leaving stale combat values.

Practical dye and equipment trade-offs

• STR +2 / CON -2 raises P. Atk. and P. Critical Damage, but reduces the CON-linked HP/CP, recovery, weight, breath, shield-success contribution and physical-abnormal resistance.
• DEX +1 / CON -1 improves physical accuracy, evasion, attack speed and critical chance at the cost of part of the CON durability package.
• INT +2 / WIT -2 raises M. Atk. and M. Critical Damage but reduces WIT-linked casting, magic accuracy/evasion, M. Def. Rate, M. Critical Rate and resurrection EXP-restoration contribution.
• WIT +2 / MEN -2 improves casting-oriented values and M. Critical Rate but reduces M. Def., Max MP, MP Recovery, Magic Cancel Rate and magical-abnormal resistance.
• Tallum Heavy combines STR +2 / CON -2 with direct Speed and Atk. Spd. bonuses. The direct bonuses are additional effects and are not produced solely by STR.
• Dark Crystal Robe combines WIT +2 / MEN -2 with direct Casting Spd. +15%. Both types of modifier matter.
• Nightmare Robe combines INT +2 / WIT -2 with direct M. Atk. +8%, trading casting-oriented values for stronger INT-derived magical output.

A dye or set should therefore be evaluated by the complete positive and negative attribute package, not only by its headline bonus.

Starting-stat profiles

Before class skills, equipment, buffs and dyes are applied, the original race/archetype values create different starting tendencies:

• Human Fighters combine STR 40 with CON 43 and are comparatively balanced.
• Elven Fighters have DEX 35, the highest starting DEX among the original fighter archetypes, but lower STR and CON than several alternatives.
• Dark Elven Fighters begin with STR 41 and CON 32, emphasizing STR-derived physical output over CON-derived durability.
• Orc Fighters begin with CON 47 and DEX 26, emphasizing durability over DEX-derived speed, hit/evasion and critical chance.
• Dwarven Fighters begin with CON 45 and STR 39, supporting a durable fighter and crafting profile.
• Dark Elven Mystics begin with INT 44, the highest starting INT among the original mystic archetypes.
• Elven Mystics begin with WIT 23 and MEN 40, favoring WIT/MEN-derived casting and sustain values relative to their lower INT.
• Orc Mystics begin with MEN 42 and INT 31, emphasizing MEN-derived sustain and magical durability over raw INT-derived output.

These are only starting inputs. Class masteries, skill formulas, weapons, armor, buffs, level differences and target defenses can outweigh a small attribute difference.

What must not be imported from later Lineage II products

The following are not added to this Classic table without target-specific evidence:

• later Aden-service threshold rules such as an extra STR-above-40 damage rule;
• movement Speed as an automatic DEX effect;
• physical-skill critical rate or physical-skill critical damage as automatic STR/DEX effects;
• debuff success as an automatic INT effect;
• skill reuse reduction as an automatic DEX or WIT effect;
• modern LUC, CHA or other post-target base attributes.

Older-patch retention note: this behavior comes from the original Classic and Age of Splendor baseline. It remains in the cumulative 2.9.5 guide because no later recovered pre-Kamael Classic note replaces it. Later dyes, armor sets, talismans, augmentations and skills add new ways to modify the same attributes rather than making the original attribute relationships obsolete.

Complete class progression

Class Transfer requirements

• First Class Transfer quests can be completed from level 19; transfer occurs at level 20.
• Second Class Transfer uses three quest stages beginning at levels 35, 37 and 39; transfer occurs at level 40.
• Third Class Transfer is available from level 76 through the class-specific Saga quest line.
• Class Transfer is not automatic in this ruleset unless the server operator deliberately replaces the retail quest flow.

Skill learning rules

• Skills are learned from the appropriate class trainer or specialist NPC.
• Learning normally consumes SP.
• A skill can additionally require a spellbook, Magical Tablet, Spirit Ore, Soulstone, Rune Stone or another item listed by the skill.
• Weapon, shield and armor conditions are checked when the skill is used. A shield skill does not work without a shield; a polearm skill does not work with an unrelated weapon.
• Passive skills apply while their equipment or state requirements are satisfied.
• Buff and debuff duration, reuse, dispel behavior and resource consumption are controlled by the server.
• Songs and dances affect eligible party members and apply their additional MP-consumption rules while other songs or dances are active.
• Servitor skills are owned and executed through the summon, while the summon remains linked to its master for ownership, target and reward rules.
• Skill Enchanting is not part of the recovered pre-Kamael Classic target.
• The Subclass system is not part of the recovered target.

Third-class spellbooks

Third-class spellbooks can be purchased from:

• Grocer Harmony in Gludio Village
• Spellbook Trader Lorenzo in the Town of Aden

The standard price is:

• 31 Magical Tablets
• 100,000 Adena

Magical Tablets have a rare chance to drop from documented high-level monsters, including:

• Midnight Nightmare on Devil's Isle
• Barif in Giant's Cave
• Beast Lord in Giant's Cave
• Destroyer in Giant's Cave
• Hekaton Prime in Giant's Cave

Third-class racial mounts

The mount fast-run action provides Speed +95 for 30 seconds with a 45-second reuse.

Certification skills

Learning certification skills

Certification skills are learned from Magic Trader Lorenzo in the Town of Aden.

• The skills are learned by paying Soul Crystals.
• They are not restricted by the character's current profession or level once the skill-learning service is available.
• Soul Crystals are obtained through the Brave's Footsteps I-VII progression missions beginning at level 80.
• Soul Crystals cannot be traded directly.
• They can be moved between characters on the same account through the Dimensional Merchant or equivalent account-sharing service.

Skill names below are normalized functional English names. A regional client can use slightly different localized labels.

General certification skills

Honor Recovery reduces the amount of EXP removed by a death penalty. It does not convert a penalized death into a no-loss death unless the final reduction and the active zone rule produce that result.

Weapon-resistance certification skills

The following skills use the same values and Soul Crystal costs:

• Sword Resistance
• Blunt Resistance
• Polearm Resistance
• Fist Weapon Resistance
• Dagger Resistance
• Bow Resistance
• Dual Weapon Resistance

New and reworked class skills

Skill window and terminology

• Skill descriptions now consistently use Stun instead of mixing Stun and Shock terminology.
• The skill window is organized into four functional categories:
  • Physical Skills
  • Magic Skills
  • Buff Skills
  • Debuff Skills

Party, Command Channel, EXP and SP

Party size

A party can contain a maximum of 9 characters.

A tenth member cannot be added until an existing member leaves. Party membership changes must be completed before that character is included in reward, quest or raid-participant calculations.

Party level difference

The reward penalty branch begins when the difference between the highest- and lowest-level eligible party members is more than 15 levels.

• A difference of 15 is not in the penalized branch.
• A difference of 16 is in the penalized branch.
• The calculation uses the highest and lowest eligible members, not only adjacent character levels.

Data note: the complete late retail party bonus and penalty multiplier table was not recovered. The 15/16 boundary is confirmed; the missing multiplier must not be substituted with the solo-monster table.

EXP from monsters above the character's level

This is a reward rule. It is not applied as a direct combat-damage multiplier.

A separate drop adjustment exists when a monster is 11 or more levels above the character. The exact drop multiplier is not publicly documented in the recovered material.

Command Channels

• Command Channels are multi-party raid groups.
• Clan Imperium grants the clan privilege needed to form a Command Channel and can be learned from clan level 3 in the latest evidenced state.
• Raid and instance entry normally uses the Command Channel leader as the group-authorized initiator.
• Participant count, level and item requirements are validated for the complete entry group before entry resources are consumed.

Death, PvP, Karma and PK

General death penalty

Outside an exempt zone, character death removes 4% EXP, regardless of character level. This latest rule replaced the harsher launch-era value.

The same 4% rule applies to chaotic characters unless a specific zone or activity overrides it.

Peaceful zones

Death inside a peaceful zone causes:

• No EXP loss
• No death-related item drop

Raid and instance exemptions

Documented no-EXP-loss areas include Antharas' nest and the Balthus Antharas instance. A specific raid or instance rule takes precedence over the general death rule.

PvP and PK state

A player becomes chaotic when Karma is negative.

• The character name is displayed in red.
• The character can continue earning EXP and SP.
• Killing eligible monsters reduces negative Karma toward zero.
• Normal-town NPC services are restricted.
• At PK count 4 or higher, death can drop one or more eligible items.
• The exact item-drop chance and selection weighting are not publicly documented in the recovered rules.

Blessing of Protection

A protected character cannot be attacked by a chaotic character who is more than 10 levels higher.

A difference of exactly 10 levels does not satisfy this specific protection condition.

PK repentance

The latest evidenced repeatable repentance flow operates while the character has a positive PK count:

• PK count must be at least 1.
• The setup uses 30 B-grade Gemstones.
• The character collects 50 penitence quest items with the Sin Eater flow.
• The late Seven Signs version uses a one-hour collection window.
• One successful completion reduces PK count by exactly 1.
• The flow can be repeated until PK count reaches zero.
• Quest-specific items are removed during completion or cleanup.

Earlier PK-reduction scrolls existed, but the repeatable repentance flow is the latest documented behavior used by this guide.

Equipment progression and obtaining A-grade

Equipment grades

Grade	Normal progression level
–No-grade	1
D-grade	20
C-grade	40
B-grade	52
A-grade	61
S-grade	Endgame / Third Class progression

The grade level is the expected progression point. Item equip validation, grade penalties and exact mastery behavior remain controlled by the item and class data.

General acquisition paths

Grade	Main acquisition paths
–No-grade	Starter quests, starting shops, early monster drops
D-grade	Town shops where available, monster drops, crafting, quests and player trade
C-grade	Crafting, drops, raid rewards, exchanges and player trade
B-grade	Crafting, high-level drops, raids, exchanges and player trade
A-grade	High-level raid drops, crafting, Blacksmith exchange, Giant's Cave, Rift of Heaven, Forgotten Island and equipment upgrades
S-grade	Special upgrade from A-grade or S-grade crafting recipes and materials

How to obtain A-grade equipment

A-grade is not obtained from one single system. The complete progression uses several parallel routes.

High-level raid bosses

• The initial A-grade weapon pool can drop from high-level raid bosses.
• A-grade armor pieces and accessories can drop sealed.
• Anakim and Lilith can provide A-grade equipment.
• Frintezza, Antharas and Unstable Four Sepulchers provide A-grade rewards or boxes as part of their high-level loot pools.

Crafting

• A-grade weapons, armor and accessories can be produced from recipes and materials.
• Giant's Cave is a major source of A-grade recipes and materials.
• Dwarven crafting classes use the recipe and material data attached to each item.
• Craft chance and material quantity are recipe-specific.

Blacksmith exchange and equipment upgrades

• The Saviors A-grade system supports Blacksmith exchanges for defined weapons.
• The later Equipment Upgrade system allows suitable D-, C- and B-grade items to advance through the progression chain into A-grade.
• A cross-grade upgrade accepts only a top item of the current grade.
• General D-through-A upgrades succeed at 100% when all conditions are met.
• The source enchant level decreases by one during a normal upgrade.

Rift of Heaven

Bomb and Guard Tower missions can provide A-grade-related rewards, including:

• A-grade armor supply boxes
• A-grade accessory boxes
• A-grade armor and accessory ingredient boxes
• Cloth Pieces used for unsealing equipment

Forgotten Island

Mysterious Treasure Chests provide the later top A-grade weapon route. The recovered pool includes weapons such as:

• Sirra's Blade
• Sword of Ipos
• Barakiel's Axe
• Behemoth's Tuning Fork
• Naga Storm
• Tiphon's Spear
• Shyeed's Bow
• Sobekk's Hurricane
• Themis' Tongue
• Cabrio's Hand
• Daimon Crystal
• Tallum Blade*Damascus
• Keshanberk*Damascus
• Damascus*Damascus

The exact weekday and chest-pool mapping was preserved in an image table and should be published only after that table is normalized for the selected server data.

Equipment upgrade system

Upgrade NPC

Equipment upgrades are handled by Blacksmith Ferris in the Town of Aden.

Ferris provides three upgrade groups:

• Rare equipment upgrades
• General D-grade through A-grade upgrades
• Special S-grade upgrades

The service window displays the required fee and the target item before the upgrade is confirmed.

Eligible enchant ranges

Only enchanted general equipment can be upgraded.

Weapons must have both augmentation and Rune options removed before they can be used as upgrade material.

General D-grade through A-grade upgrades

• General upgrades have 100% success for D-, C-, B- and A-grade equipment.
• Same-grade upgrades produce the top-grade item of the corresponding category.
• Cross-grade upgrades accept only a top-grade source item.
• A cross-grade upgrade produces the top-grade item of the next grade.
• The enchant value is reduced by 1 after a general upgrade.
• If no higher item exists for the equipment category, the item cannot be upgraded.
• When a one-piece armor source maps to separate upper and lower armor in the next grade, only the upper piece is produced unless the upgrade table explicitly defines another result.
• B- and A-grade gloves, boots and helmets produced by the upgrade service can be sealed.

Special S-grade upgrades

• S-grade upgrades have a success rate based on the source item's enchant value.
• The exact success percentage is shown by Ferris before confirmation.
• On success, the target item is created at +0 and an additional success reward can be granted.
• On failure, the player receives a crafting box for the target item plus configured enchant scroll compensation.
• S-grade armor upgrade results are sealed.

Equipment varnish sources

Normal raid bosses

Major raid bosses

Enchanting

Core enchant rules carried forward

• No-grade equipment cannot be enchanted.
• Most weapons, armor and accessories are safe through +3.
• One-piece armor is safe through +4.
• A normal enchant failure above the safe value destroys the item and converts it into crystals.
• Improved Enchant Scrolls can add a random +1 to +3 enchant levels while respecting normal eligibility rules.
• Stable Enchant Scroll failure preserves the item and its current enchant value.
• Stable scrolls cannot be used on weapons at +7 or higher or armor at +6 or higher.
• Successful weapon enchantment to +15 or higher is announced server-wide.
• Successful armor or accessory enchantment to +10 or higher is announced server-wide.

Soulshot damage amplification by weapon enchant

The per-enchant Soulshot amplification was increased:

This replaces the earlier uniform 0.3% per-enchant rule.

Armor HP bonus by enchant level

Weapon Enhancement Stones on failed enchant

A failed attempt on a weapon already enchanted to +7 or higher grants Weapon Enhancement Stones.

Armor Enhancement Stones on failed enchant

A failed attempt on armor already enchanted to +6 or higher grants Armor Enhancement Stones.

Augmentation

Confirmed launch-era service

The completely documented Classic augmentation baseline applies to D-grade through B-grade weapons.

Augmentation is performed at the Blacksmith anvil in:

• Giran
• Aden

An augmented weapon receives 2 to 4 random options.

Starter-village Blacksmiths do not offer augmentation.

Augmented weapons can be exchanged or dropped in Classic; the older non-tradable restriction was removed.

Shining Life Stones

Secret of the Empire adds Shining Life Stones and S-grade Gemstones for their augmentation service.

Data note: the publicly recovered material does not provide a complete final A-grade and S-grade eligibility, fee, option-pool and probability table. The exact service values shown on the website must match the selected retail dataset rather than extrapolating the D-through-B table.

Dyes and symbols

Dyes exchange one base attribute for another. Read them together with Base attributes and derived combat statistics: the negative attribute reduces every derived value linked to that stat, not only one visible number.

Core rules

• Drawing one symbol requires 10 identical dyes.
• A character can have a maximum of 3 active symbols.
• Mixed dye items cannot be combined to satisfy the quantity requirement.
• Greater or second-class dyes cannot increase one base stat by more than +5 in total.
• Third-class dyes can be used only after Third Class Transfer.

Dye restrictions

Data note: the exact symbol-removal fee and dye-return table was not recovered.

Runes and Super Runes

Rune stages and sealed Runes

• Eight Rune types are available.
• Normal Rune stages range from 1 through 13.
• Opening a Sealed Rune grants one random Rune type at the same stage.
• A weapon can hold only one Rune.

Rune compounding

• The main Rune is placed in the left slot.
• A Stage 1 Rune of the same type is placed in the right material slot.
• The main Rune can be Stage 1 through Stage 12.
• On success, the main Rune advances by one stage and the material Rune is consumed.
• On failure, the main Rune is destroyed and the Stage 1 material remains.
• Stage 13 cannot be advanced through the normal compounding flow.
• Two Stage 12 Runes cannot be used as a normal main/material pair.

Applying and extracting Runes

• Rune application works on D-grade or higher weapons.
• Application success is 100% when all item and fee requirements are met.
• Applying a Rune preserves the weapon's enchantment and augmentation.
• Replacing a Rune removes the old Rune without returning it.
• Extracting returns the same Rune type and stage in its original state.
• Starter-village Blacksmiths do not provide the Rune service.

Rune application fees

Weapon grade	Required fee
D-grade	107 D-grade Gemstones
C-grade	177 C-grade Gemstones
B-grade	112 B-grade Gemstones
A-grade	5 A-grade Gemstones

Rune replacement fees

Replacing a Rune destroys the Rune already installed in the weapon and does not return it.

Weapon grade	Required fee
D-grade	89 D-grade Gemstones
C-grade	89 C-grade Gemstones
B-grade	56 B-grade Gemstones
A-grade	2 A-grade Gemstones

Rune extraction fees

Extraction removes the Rune from the weapon and returns the same Rune type and stage to the character.

Weapon grade	Required fee
D-grade	89 D-grade Gemstones
C-grade	89 C-grade Gemstones
B-grade	19 B-grade Gemstones and 700,000 Adena
A-grade	5 A-grade Gemstones and 3,500,000 Adena

S-grade service note: the recovered Saviors fee table ends at A-grade. S-grade Rune application, replacement or extraction fees must follow the selected official 2.9/2.9.5 dataset and are not inferred from the A-grade values.

Rune exchange

Two unsealed Runes of the same type and stage can be exchanged for one random sealed Rune of the same stage.

Super Runes

Normal Stage 8 through Stage 13 Runes can be converted to the corresponding Super Rune.

Required materials:

• The old Stage 8 to 13 Rune
• 8 A-grade Gemstones
• 24,900,000 Adena

Super Runes still follow the one-Rune-per-weapon rule.

Attribute System

Requirements

• Minimum level: 76.
• Third Class Transfer must be completed.
• The system is divided into four elemental spirits:
  • Fire
  • Water
  • Wind
  • Earth

Attribute values provide offensive and defensive bonuses in both PvE and PvP.

Elemental hunting zones

Elemental raid rewards

• Special elemental raid bosses can drop spirit necklaces.
• Ten qualifying victories can grant the corresponding spirit Agathion.
• Each qualifying defeat is counted once for achievement progress.

Attribute UI

• Characters who have unlocked the Attribute System see an Attribute XP display in the in-game shop buff window.
• The displayed spirit follows the Attribute selected in the Character Information window with Alt+T.
• Servitors inherit the summoner's active Attribute values and attack Attribute.

Transformations and Agathions

Transformation rules

Three permanent transformation skills are available.

Transformation	Required level	Effects while transformed
Pirate	45	Max HP/MP +3%; Speed +3; Atk. Spd. +2%; P./M. Accuracy +1; M. Critical Rate +10; P./M. Atk. +2%; P./M. Def. +2%
Dark Assassin	60	Max HP/MP +5%; Speed +4; Atk. Spd. +3%; P./M. Accuracy +1; M. Critical Rate +10; P./M. Atk. +2%; P./M. Def. +2%
White Assassin	70	Max HP/MP +7%; Speed +5; Atk. Spd. +5%; P./M. Accuracy +2; M. Critical Rate +20; P./M. Atk. +3%; P./M. Def. +3%

• An Elemental Stone is required to activate a transformation.
• The three transformations use independent reuse groups.
• An active transformation persists through reconnect.
• The form can be cancelled manually.
• Cancelling removes every form-only modifier but does not reset reuse.

Collector Pona outside the Giran Luxury Shop sells 2 Elemental Stones for:

• 4 D-grade Crystals
• 2 D-grade Gemstones
• 1,000 Adena

Agathion equipment model

The Antharas-era Agathion system separates the bracelet from the Agathion item.

• Equip an Agathion Summon Bracelet in the left bracelet slot.
• The bracelet opens one main slot and additional slots according to its level.
• Double-clicking the first compatible Agathion places it in the main slot and normally summons it automatically.
• A second compatible Agathion occupies an enabled additional slot.
• An Agathion cannot be equipped above the bracelet's enabled capacity.
• Some special Agathions require their own summon skill and do not auto-summon merely because they are equipped.
• Unequipping the bracelet deactivates the slots and removes the summon safely.

Collector Pona sells the non-expiring level-1 Agathion Summon Bracelet for 500,000 Adena. Blacksmith Beckins provides the bracelet upgrade service.

Legacy combined Agathion bracelets are converted into the separate bracelet and Agathion-item model when the corresponding update migration is applied.

Clan Halls

Classic provides two kinds of clan residence: provisional clan halls and regular clan halls.

Provisional Clan Halls

Provisional Clan Halls are temporary, instanced residences. A clan may bid only when it meets the selected hall's level requirement and does not already own a clan hall.

Auction and ownership

• The minimum clan level is 3; Ellia Hall and Laurel Hall require higher clan levels.
• Only the clan leader can submit a bid.
• Bidding is handled by the Auctioneer NPC available in towns and villages.
• The auction operates on a two-week cycle. During that cycle, a leader can bid for one hall type for which the clan is eligible.
• The active bidding window runs from Friday 00:01 through Saturday 23:59.
• Eligible bidding clans receive the available provisional halls through random distribution rather than a highest-bid contest.
• Ownership lasts 4 weeks (28 days).

Hall models and fixed rental

Rental prices are fixed, and provisional halls have no additional fees.

Basic functions

Provisional halls provide only the following residence functions:

• HP Restoration: 300%

• Restoration of EXP lost on death: 50%

Regular Clan Halls

Regular Clan Halls are divided into B-grade and A-grade groups according to their location.

• The timer runs while a boss encounter is active.
• The timer stops after a boss dies.
• Starting the next encounter resumes the remaining timer.

Castle sieges

Pre-Kamael siege model

The build uses the original Classic multi-castle model.

Region note: official Classic services did not always expose the same castle list, registration window or participating-clan levels at the same time. The rules below describe the late pre-Kamael siege family. The approximately 1% registered-participant death loss and the detailed setup window are directly documented for the official North American Gludio siege. A server using another official regional data branch should publish its castle-specific schedule and registration list alongside these common mechanics.

• Siege cycle: every other Sunday.
• Siege start: 20:00 server time.
• Siege duration: 2 hours.
• Registration is handled by the castle Messenger or designated siege NPC.
• The clan leader registers an eligible level-3+ clan before the registration cutoff.
• The final 24-hour setup period runs from Saturday 20:00 until Sunday 20:00 for the documented Gludio cycle.
• Non-registered players can enter the battlefield and fight, but cannot capture or own the castle.

Death penalty during siege

• Registered siege participants lose approximately 1% EXP on death in the battlefield.
• Characters who participate without being registered use the normal 4% death penalty.

Capture and interim victory

• An ordinary castle has one Holy Artifact.
• Only the eligible registered clan leader can complete the capture cast.
• Capture uses Imprint of Light or Imprint of Darkness.
• The imprint channel lasts 2 minutes and is interrupted by movement, death, invalid target state, siege end or other normal cast interruption.
• A successful imprint creates an interim victory:
  • The new owner becomes defender.
  • The previous owner can continue as an attacker.
  • Other participants are moved to their appropriate restart locations.
  • The siege continues until the full 2-hour timer ends.
• The clan owning the castle when the timer ends is the final winner.

Defender resurrection

• Life Control Towers intact: defender resurrection becomes available after 30 seconds.
• Life Control Towers destroyed: defender resurrection becomes available after 3 minutes.

Gludio Castle topology

Gludio is an ordinary single-objective castle:

• 1 outer gate
• 1 inner gate
• 1 Holy Artifact
• Defender restart area inside the castle
• Traditional castle-owner NPC and mercenary services

Gludio does not use:

• Goddard's dual-artifact objective
• Goddard's attack-immune rear door
• Aden's double outer-wall and flame-control trap system
• Rune's Benom event

Light and Dark castle alignment

The new owner has up to 1 hour to finalize the Light or Dark alignment.

Castle owners also receive access to castle taxes, Chamberlain services, ownership items, internal Gatekeepers and the traditional Mercenary Manager system.

Blood Crystals

Castle-related NPC content can provide Blood Crystals used by active Clan Skills, including No Clan Return and No Clan Resurrection.

Chat, reports and anti-bot systems

Chat level restrictions

Personal chat blocking

• Right-click reporting also blocks the reported character's chat for the reporter.
• The effect is equivalent to the personal /block function.

• A server moderation penalty can block a reported character's chat for 14 hours after the configured report threshold is reached.

BOT report CAPTCHA

• Three valid BOT reports trigger a CAPTCHA challenge.
• The challenge expires after 20 minutes.
• Failure or timeout applies a 60-minute penalty.

Penalty effects:

Interface, macros and quality-of-life systems

Server-side UI persistence

Selected interface preferences are stored server-side and survive client repair or reinstall, including:

• Target, status and party-window positions
• Servitor information-window state
• Chat-window size and tabs
• Enter Chat setting
• Tooltip setting
• Shortcut-panel configuration
• Supported resolution-dependent interface placement

Automatic Soulshot and Spiritshot interface

• The shot interface appears only when relevant shots exist in inventory.
• Autocast is enabled by default.
• Right-click toggles automatic use.
• The system selects the shot grade matching the equipped weapon.
• Pet shots remain hidden until a pet or servitor is present.
• The player can select between available compatible shot types.

A-grade shot-ticket exchange

The translated Secret of the Empire table adds A-grade results to the shot-ticket exchange:

Regional item names can differ. In particular, the translated source uses a physical Blessed Soulshot item family that should not be confused with the later post-target consolidated-shot system. The exchange quantity is the important functional value for a server that enables this regional table.

Macros

• Macros cannot use a supported loop or repeat function.
• Self-recursive or mutually recursive automation is not allowed.
• Copy All and Paste preserve the macro command sequence.
• Presets can be inserted through drag-and-drop or double-click.
• A macro using the default icon changes to the first skill icon contained in the macro.
• The icon list reflects skills currently available in the character's skill window.

Play Report

Restart and Exit Game open Play Report, which displays current-session:

• XP obtained
• Adena obtained
• Items obtained

Initialize resets only the report counters. It does not remove the actual XP, Adena or items from the character.

Inventory, map and controls

• Inventory uses an 11-column by 10-row visible grid.
• Newly obtained items are marked as new.
• Inventory includes a 3D character preview.
• Selecting a hunting-zone or raid recommendation focuses the corresponding world-map location.
• Raid map icons are active while the raid is spawned and deactivate after defeat.
• With Enter Chat enabled, A and D perform lateral strafing.
• /PreviousTarget selects the last valid selected target.

Automatic Adena pickup

• Adena produced by monster rewards is collected automatically.
• Automatic pickup does not replace party distribution rules.
• The same party ownership and sharing mode that would apply to manual pickup remains in effect.

Rare accessory active skills

The reuse time of rare-accessory active abilities was reduced to 2 minutes while retaining their existing effects.

Bug fixes and display corrections

• Corrected a duplicated casting-condition line in the Death Stinger tooltip.
• Corrected a condition that displayed the Shining Moody's Melody Book buff icon as black.
• Corrected Turek Mercenary Captain and subordinate monsters appearing above the terrain.
• Removed an unintended Mirror monster from Catacomb of the Witch.
• Corrected Imperial Tomb monsters awarding too little SP.
• Prevented the Live-server Help window from opening incorrectly on Classic.
• Expanded the Enchant UI drag-and-drop target area to the full enchant window.
• Corrected upgrade animation state remaining active after reopening the upgrade window.
• Corrected the displayed HP value for heavy-armor set effects at +7 and higher.

Trading, crafting and economy notes

Crafting

• Dwarven crafting classes create equipment and consumables from learned recipes and materials.
• Recipe success rate is defined per recipe.
• S-grade weapon, armor and accessory recipes use a 30% success rate in the Secret of the Empire data.
• S-grade Soulshot, Spiritshot and Blessed Spiritshot recipes use their configured 100% production recipe.
• S-grade dual-sword crafting is not guaranteed and requires the dedicated crafting component obtained through the equipment-upgrade system.
• Crafting failure consumes the inputs according to the recipe or special crafting flow.

Spoil and Sweep

Bounty Hunter progression retains the Spoil and Sweep identity. Exact spoil chances and every monster's spoil table are data-level values and are not duplicated in this guide.

Adena and automatic pickup

• Adena produced by monster rewards is picked up automatically in the later Antharas-era state.
• Automatic pickup changes only the physical pickup step.
• Existing party distribution rules still determine who receives the Adena.
• Dragon Valley Adena was reduced by approximately 20% in the documented late balance pass.
• Antharas' Lair Adena was reduced by approximately 10%.

Trade, private stores, warehouse, freight and mail

These interfaces are part of the broader Lineage II game economy, but the recovered 1.0-2.9.5 public patch corpus did not expose a sufficiently complete final table of:

• inventory and warehouse limits,
• private-store slot limits,
• mail fees and expiration,
• freight routes and prices,
• trade restrictions by item type,
• regional account-sharing restrictions.

The website should document these values from the actual selected server data rather than present assumptions as official 2.9.5 behavior.

Functionality not included in this ruleset

The following mechanics belong to later updates or a different Lineage II product ruleset and are not part of this 2.9.5 target:

• Jin Kamael race and Kamael class paths
• Shine and Shadow Soul systems
• Kamael Scythe transformations
• The post-Kamael Giran-only castle siege model
• One-hour post-Kamael siege duration
• Unified Seal of Ruler replacing Imprint of Light and Imprint of Darkness
• The later mercenary-enlistment UI
• The post-Kamael blanket no-EXP-loss siege rule
• Aden-service 25-stage Arena rules
• Aden-service Soul Crystal and automatic-progression systems
• The post-2.9.5 Stat Ability point system, level-up Stat Points and threshold bonuses for STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIT and MEN
• Later Aden or modern Classic descriptions that add general base-attribute effects not present in the recovered pre-Kamael Classic table
• Later R-grade, Awakening, Dual Class and modern Live-server systems

Known documentation gaps

The following systems or values are confirmed only partially and are deliberately not assigned invented numbers:

• A separate complete 2.9.5-only change list
• The final hard character-level cap for every region
• Exact conversion curves, caps, stacking order and integer rounding from STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIT and MEN into their derived combat values
• A universally precise localized definition and formula for the official M. Def. Rate and Magic Cancel Rate labels
• Every class skill level, power, cost, duration and reuse value
• The complete party reward multiplier and party-size bonus table
• The exact high-level-monster drop multiplier
• Exact normal enchant success rates above the safe limit
• Improved Enchant Scroll +1/+2/+3 probability weights
• Complete A-grade and S-grade augmentation pools and fees
• Exact Rune compounding success rates and complete Rune/Super Rune stat tables
• Complete clan level costs, member limits and passive Clan Skill values
• Complete Clan Arena boss list, milestone values, chest mapping and coupon exchange table
• Exact monster leash radii, social ranges and retail geodata
• Complete raid skill selection, target logic, stat and loot tables
• Complete Attribute formula, spirit XP table, caps and every level bonus
• Exact castle gate/wall HP, Life Control Tower quantity, guard and mercenary tables
• Complete alliance, mail, freight, private-store and warehouse limits
• Complete fishing rates, bait tables and fish reward tables

Where one of these values is required for the site's server description, it should be read from the implemented data and then verified against an authoritative regional archive or official-server observation.

Source basis

This cumulative guide was assembled from the following source groups:

1. Official Lineage II Classic Launch Patch Notes - core basic-stat effects, racial values and foundational Classic systems
2. Official European Age of Splendor 1.5 preliminary patch notes - archived document mirror - extended base-stat influences, including critical damage, abnormal-state resistance and resurrection EXP restoration
3. Official Lineage II Classic: Saviors Patch Notes
4. Official Secret of the Empire Update Preview
5. Official Grand Olympiad Starts June 1
6. Official Gludio Castle Siege information
7. Archived Secret of the Empire Korean release-note translation
8. Archived Saviors: Antharas regional update material
9. Archived Catacombs and Necropolises update material
10. Archived Seven Signs FAQ material
11. Additional archived Zaken, Forgotten Island, Imperial Tomb and Classic update materials linked from the same update archive.
12. Official Shadow of the Kamael Supplemental Update - used only to identify the later Stat Ability point system that is outside this 2.9.5 target

Official material takes priority when it conflicts with a translation or community mirror. A regional feature is labeled instead of being silently generalized to every service. Older official patch information remains in the cumulative description whenever it is still required by the 2.9.5 target and no later pre-Kamael source explicitly replaces it.
