- Additional categories will become available for the use of Merit Points.

What are Merit Points?

Dukuji · Post by **Dukuji** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 3:23 pm

Merit Points are what you earn after level 75. I'm not sure how they work really but I know that you can turn in merit points for more stats like AGI or DEX.

SE wrote:The new region "Lumoria" and the new area "Al'Taieu" will become accessible.

To me this is very big news, I doubt I can go there yet but this isn't just a new area it's a whole new region. I'm not sure if the only area in this region is Al'Taieu or if there are other areas inside Lumoria. New areas mean (usually), new NM's, new items, new quests, new leveling spots, new supply quests (hopefully), new places to explore. I'm excited.

Merit Points are points you earn after having reached lvl 75. They are used to boost individual stats such as str, agi, dex, etc.

Also, is there a limit on the stats, I mean 100000 dex would be nice ^^

Merit points aren't only for stats, they can be used to increase combat skills, and other misc. things such as enmity up/down, critical hit rate, spell interruption rate

Because RNGs have a better chance of avoiding random agro anyway.
