The mount will take you quickly where ever the use wants to go. The mount will have a slot in your inventory and is threated as “item”.

How to get them?


The mounts are acquired through quests, by taming a certain monster, as a RvR reward or by purchasing in the store. (Does not tell if tamed monsters are tradable)

“Mount” – Skills
The Skillbar for mounts is a short cut for your mount skills. It will show up once you mounted your desired companion. Mounting uses Energy. If you have zero energy you cannot use your mount. (Don’t mistake energy with the class specific resources). The UI will change according to the image below.

There are many ways to travel around the vast continent of Bless. There are mounts, vehicles to move between capitals /bases and much more.

Moving between cities


You can travel to certain NPCs which are shown on the interactive map. (please visit the official guide and scroll down)
[I'm unsure about this one]: Depending on your level some areas may not be available yet!

Translation of the Interactive Map Options


If you want to see the area, just click on the name at the list below the world map.

official guide: bless.pmang.com/?mKey=1&sKey=2#guide/detail/167


Some monsters on the field can be tamed and made into a mount. If the monster is successfully tamed it will be stored in your inventory and can be summoned/mounted. Some creature have different/unique skills which make the world of Bless even more fun. Be sure to collect as much as possible (haha… gotta catch them all, eh ^^)
In order to tame monsters you have to purchase a taming scroll. Taming scrolls can have different quality.
[Note:] I’m not sure about the qualities. It seems we have basic, good and best quality scroll from the merchant. But additional qualities like unique scrolls, artisan scrolls, etc. are also mentioned. I guess there will be dropped scrolls also. Also I don’t know if certain monsters need to be tamed with specific scrolls. For example a very rare boss requires unique and above quality. All these details aren't mentioned.


Taming attempt
You purchase a taming scroll first. After that move to the area were the monster you want to tame appeared. If you found your monster use the scroll.



If you get a success you will find the monster in your inventory (short cut I). If you fail the scroll gets consumed anyway.

The chat is the most basic way to interact with players. Press <Enter> to access different chat modes (channels, etc.). However chatting with the other faction is not possible.

Different modes/channels:



The chat window combines all chats together. Choose a tab to show only the related info. By pressing <enter> you will access the chat window. By clicking on the <General [일반] Tab> you can check the current chat mode, as seen below:


If you enter the specific channel command you can also access the desired chat mode/channel. If you want to whisper to someone write the whisper command + space + character name, then press space. The chat should change to [whispering to <character name>]:

Channel commands:

• Text limit: Text which exceeds this limit will not be displayed.
• Spam protection: repeated messaging in certain chats will result in being muted for some time.
• Maintenance mode: While broadcasting system messages chat can be disabled (Not sure about this)
• Text filter: banned words will be displayed as ******

Dealing with a large number of enemies it will be difficult for solo-players. Getting together in a party will help you dealing with quests faster, will enable you to go to an instance or joining the battlefield as well as a simple social tool to enjoy your time at Bless.

How to form a party

• Via chat command: /invite character (/초대 <character>)
• Right click at the character info and select the first option to invite someone

If a character is invited to a party the following window will appear with the options: Accept/Decline.

Party invites are limited:

• When the character is logged out there can’t be an invite.
• When the maximum size of 5 people per party is reached.
• Hostile targets cannot be invited.
• When the character is already invited to a party and the invitation is waiting for a decision.
• When the character is already member of a party he cannot join another party. He has to leave the current party to join a new one.
• NPCs cannot be invited.
• Players which are in the Tutorial stage cannot be invited.
• Something about party chapters. I guess certain parties can only be formed when certain quest requirements are met.

When joining a party the UI changes like the picture below:


Party Effect:

• 5 people can participate in a party
• You can complete quests together
• Loot will be shared
• Experience is distributed depending on the level distribution of the characters

Leaving the party:

• By command
• By hand with right click on the party UI, then leave (see picture below)

Party options for the leader (marked with a crown):

• Change the loot mode: Sequential/free for all (idk about rolling for items).
• Delegate leader: change the leader
• Leave. When you are leaving and have more than 2 people the new leader will be randomly decided.
• Disband
• Cancel

Party commands

• Quest related stuff is shared
• Member which are far away from the party will not get loot, exp, etc.
• If all members are logged out the party disbands after 15 minutes.

Join a guild to socialize with like-minded players to achieve greater goals.

Guild Creation

• You can create the guild via NPC.
• You can only create a guild if you meet certain conditions, as seen below:

If you successfully created a guild you can access the guild information panel by pressing "h" or by accessing it via the menu.


Guild Roster



by right-clicking on the players the guild master and members with privileges can kick and promote players.

Guild Administration

wasn't part of the 2nd CBT. Will be part in the next Test.



Guild Invitation&Leave

You can invite a character to your guild by inviting him/her via the guild menu as seen below:


[Note:] I’m not sure if this is the only way or if there are multiple ways to invite someone.

You can leave a guild by switching to the guild roster, then right click on your character and then selected “leave”.
If you do this you will get the following window. Press accept to leave.



If you leave you

• cannot create a guild for 1 day
• cannot join another guild for 3 days

Tactics
official guide: bless.pmang.com/?mKey=1&sKey=2#guide/detail/158
Tactics are a combination of available skills/techniques/technologies, etc. according to the combat situation.
Depending on the combination and active core technology you will be able to experience a variety of roles. If you adjust the appropriate technology to the situation (Solo, Party, PvP) your character can be more effective in the combat

Tactical Setting

Press “K” to open the Tactics Window.



Available skills will be shown after registering the technology. The window shows the four major techs. You can build your own tactic by choosing skills from

• using tech.
• core tech. (Depending on the core technology some skills have different effects. Also depending on the core tech. only selected skills are available)
• applied tech. (like the stigma system in Aion)
• reaction tech.

You can save your build as a tactic (progress get’s auto saved). You can also switch between tactics by press crtl+<number> or by selecting the tactic in the tactics window.It is recommended to change the tactic before the fight.

[note:] I guess (not sure) switching between tactics in combat is not possible.

[Note 2]: the word technology is equivalent with technique or skills here. It's just that the word by word translation would suggest technology over anything else. But I guess even if I wrote technology I guess you guys would understand that skills are meant.

Tactics are basically ingame skill builders where you can save your favorite builds and roles and then you can easily switch between them.
You can for example register a Priest Build as Main Healer and a Build for an Emergency Healer+DD abilities and then as a third the Paladin spec for Main Tanking or so.

official guide: bless.pmang.com/?mKey=1&sKey=2#guide/detail/232

Technologies (Skills)

You can see the class skills by accessing the technology/technique list. You can open it via Icon on the Menu or by pressing “L”


In the technology/technique/skills/disciplines/etc. list there are 5 tabs:

• General Techniques (mostly passives I think)
• Core Techniques (each class has 3 core abilities. Your character will be greatly influenced by your choice. For example Paladin has the three roles depending on the core ability:
  
  1. [Priest] - Healer
     
  2. [Judge] - Defensive DD
     
  3. [Paladin] - Defensive Tank
• Using Techniques (your active skills)
• Applied Techniques (like the stigma system in Aion, they are additional skills)
• Reaction Techniques (combo skills when a certain situation is met, for example "Enemy is knockdown-ed - then you may use the fitting reaction skill)

If you do not meet the level conditions of a technique it is display with a padlock icon. If you achieve the level condition but didn’t learn the skill yet it will be display as a gray icon.

[The following example is the Guardian Class]

General Technology/Techniques



Core Technology/Techniques



Are central to the configuration you want to choose. Only 1 core tech per tactic can be registered.

Using Technology/Techniques



Applied Technology/Techniques
When mounted it directly applies the skill to the list of available skills.



Reaction Technology/Techniques
Are basically combo skills. Once a certain criteria is met you can execute them. For example successful knockdown on a target mean you can execute a reaction skill to that knockdown



With all these skills you can choose your desired Tactic or Build - as previously mentioned.

Basic stats

Advanced stats


Class specific resources

I think it is better to upload all skills as a google sheet. Why? Because editing in a forum is a pain in the ass and I'm lazy. Also with that I can easily access them and complete them and polish them.

Anyway here is the link: Bless Online CBT2 skills

A very informative video by rendermax:

RvR

RvR or Realm vs. Realm defines Bless and consists of

• faction vs faction
• inner faction sieges
• political contracts, agreements, etc.

and define the world of Bless.

You and your guild fight through the battlefields, conquer strongholds, castles and make it to the top-spot of the city. With each honor point gained in the various PvP actions your guild grows and will be able to participate in faction politics such as government contracts.

Guild Masters of a guild which were able to claim victory in a capital city can then claim it and rule over the territory.


Flow of RvR content

Bless includes guild vs guild battles and faction vs. faction battles.
Each territory is linked to other territories which can also be raided to provide a very narrow pvp environment. The conflict regarding the ownership of the major cities within the faction but also from the outside of the faction increases the tension.

Governors who are responsible to defend the nation, the guilds which are always on the hunt (?) and all factions players have to think ahead and there is also betrayal.

RvR Promo Video - 2014

official guide: bless.pmang.com/?mKey=1&sKey=2#guide/detail/157


Honor Points



Honor points are a secondary currency, obtained for participating in PvP actions. PvP actions can be territory sieges for example. Honor is gained depending on the contribution on the battlefield (kill / death ratio). Territorial sieges are timed and honor will be added at the end of the siege.

When you acquire honor after joining a guild, the guild honor points also increase and with that the influence of the guild. After a certain amount of honor points, the Guild Master of a worthy guild (enough honor points) will be able to take part in the political actions such as territory governing, etc.

Player kills


If you kill players from the opposing faction you will obtain honor, depending on the level and gear level between both players and the kill/death count of the individual player. In addition titles may be obtained depending on your contribution on the battle.

Battlefield Rewards


When you participate in the various PvP actions you earn honor. You can check your current honor points by pressing I (inventory shortcut) and look at your currency points. These can be spend on various items and most important combat specific equipment (I guess they mean PvP equipment)

Honor Items


You can spend your earned honor points at honor traders in the main cities.
Available list of equipment:

• Guardian - Eternal Winter Set
• Berserker - Wrathful/Furious Winter Set
• Paladin - Divine Winter Set
• Ranger - Winter Wind/Blizzard Set
