Welcome to Lineage II!

The following bonuses are provided for players new to Lineage II as they begin their first adventures in Aden.

New Character Bonuses

1. Additional Quest Rewards
   Characters designated as new characters, if they perform certain quests, will receive additional quest rewards that are not given to the other characters. Fighters receive 13,000 No Grade Soulshots, and Mystics receive 6,000 No Grade Spiritshots. They receive Soulshots and Spiritshots twice: when they begin the game for the first time, and when they perform the first weapon quest around level 10. In addition, new characters will also receive more rewards in many quests.

2. Support Magic from Newbie Guides
   New characters can receive various kinds of support magic free of charge through the Newbie Guide NPC located in each village. These buffs are available to players who are within the level 8 - 39 range, and have not completed their second class transfer. Buffs last for 60 minutes and are based on the level of character as follows:

   • Levels 8 - 39: Blessing of Protection and Wind Walk
   • Levels 11 - 38: Shield
   • Levels 12 - 37: Bless the Body (Fighter), Bless the Soul (Mystic)
   • Levels 13 - 36: Vampiric Rage (Fighter), Acumen (Mystic)
   • Levels 14 - 35: Regeneration (Fighter), Concentration (Mystic)
   • Levels 15 - 34: Haste (Fighter), Empower (Mystic)
   • Levels 16 - 34: Life Cubic

1. Reduced-Cost Equipment Upgrades (Exchange Equipment)
   New characters can purchase higher-level items by paying the difference in the price between the equipment they currently have and the higher-level equipment they wish to buy.
   
   In the starting villages, Gludin, and Gludio Castle Town, all No Grade weapons, armor, and jewelry can be traded at the weapons, armor, and accessory traders.
   
   Un-equip the weapon, armor, and accessories you would like to exchange and speak to the NPC merchant in the village. Select "Exchange Equipment" to see what upgrade items are available to you, and how much they will cost.
