Instant Effect Items

In order to maximize the efficiency of solo hunting, instant effect items have been added. Instant effect items are only dropped in areas set as solo hunting grounds. When hunting monsters in these areas, instant effect items, such as items to increase your HP/MP regeneration or P. Atk./M. Atk are dropped.

The instant effect items are as follows:

• Herb of Life: recovers HP.
• Herb of Mana: recovers MP.
• Herb of Strength: temporarily increases P. Atk.
• Herb of Magic: temporarily increases M. Atk.

Herbs of Life and Herbs of Mana do not recover HP and MP at any standard rate; they recover a certain % of total HP and MP of the character that picks them up. Herbs of Strength and Herbs of Magic have overlapping effects with existing skills that have similar effects and their duration time is 2 minutes.

Instant effect items cannot be stored in inventory and will immediately take effect when they are picked up.

If an instant effect item is dropped by a monster and not picked up within 15 seconds, they will disappear.

When a party member picks up an instant effect item while they are hunting, the effect will be applied instantly to the person who picked it up regardless of the party’s looting rules.
