Battle process
Choosing a target
Mobs dwell in fields and dungeons. You need to find the mobs whose level range corresponds to yours. You can find the info about your target by left-clicking it. First of all, define the approximate level of the mob by the colour of its name in the target window, then read its characteristics. Left-click the target once again or use a skill to start a battle.
There are aggressive mobs who attack your character once it’s become visible to them, and not aggressive who don’t attack first. However, such not aggressive mobs have so called sociality – they attack a character if it attacks their comrades. You cannot determine whether a mob is aggressive or social by its looks. So you need to be careful when you explore new hunting zones.
– first click at the mob, the mob is targeted.
– second click at the mob, the mob is attacked.

Start of a battle
Once you've chosen your target and started attacking using your weapon or a skill, you need to defeat the monster using skills and items. If during the battle your character's HP starts decreasing, use HP potions or skills to restore it. Keep a close eye on your XP and MP; otherwise your character may die.
End of a battle
The battle is over then you kill the mob. For killing the mob your character will receive XP and SP, there's also a chance to get Adena and items. If a character level 10+ dies in a battle with a mob, the character loses XP. The character who died in a battle can be either resurrected with items or skills; or get resurrected in a township of a clan hall.
