Account Acquisition

In order to play Bless (and every other Korean Game) you need a Verified Account. These Accounts are bound to a korean social security number, short KSSN and a korean mobile phone. So in essence unless you know someone from Korea you have to buy an account. You can buy them on many sites, the popular ones are:

• newgameway.com/product.php?gid=99
• obtgame.com/buy-pre-verified-b…ea-open-beta-account.html

Newgameway offers two types:

• General Account: normal verified account. If this account needs a re-verification you lose the account since they won’t re-verify the account
• Safe Account: they will re-verify the account if necessary but you need to pay monthly!

Once you have the account you are one step closer to go.

Changing the System Locale to Korean

In order to display Korean Characters on System & Error Messages as well as on the client (some korean games have this) you have to set your locale to Korean.

1. Start -> Settings

2. Open: “Time and Language”

3. on Date and Time-Tab under related settings -> “additional Date, Time and regional Settings”

4. additional window will open, there choose tab “Administration” there “change system locale”

5. Select Korean and klick OK

VPN Clients

• OpenVPN

You don’t need any vpn subscription or so. You only need it to start up the game so a simple one will do.

Installation

Downloading the Game

Navigate to: bless.pmang.com/index.nwz?mKey=6&sKey=1

or navigate to bless.pmang.com/?intro=done and click the green circled letters

You can now choose between two download managers (red and blue) or you can directly download from their servers.

Moscos discovered the urls of the files, however they may be old/invalid when you want to download the client so yeah. Use on your own risk:

I chose the blue mirror – will ad the red one if you insist. The next steps will only cover the blue mirror!

Click on the Blue Mirror and you download the NWDownloader.exe

Execute the NWDownloader.exe and this window appears:

Press the blue framed Button (Ok)

Your options are now:
1 – change the download destination. This is not your installation destination!
2 – execute the setup file. Only availabe when you have 100% downloaded
3 – Start Downloading
4 – Pause Downloading
5 – Close

After you finished downloading your download folder should look like this:

Please note that the files I have are old! There may be more files with another name and other sizes. But the basic structure should look like this. Please backup these files since they come in handy for a re-installation.

Press Execute (2) on the NWDownloader.exe or Execute the Setup.exe (the File with the Red – White – P Icon). The Installation starts shorty after.

Installing the Game

After executing the setup.exe this window appears – press the blue framed button

Next Step – accepting the terms and conditions:

Change the Installation Location to wherever you like:

When you have the right location (for example your gaming SSD like me) press next

Then finish the settings and press okay to start the installation:

Installation Process:

Installation Process is finished:

Your Folder should look like this or similar:

You are basically finished with Installing the Game. You go to bless.pmang.com/?intro=done to start the game, as you can read in the next paragraph.

Installing DX 9c and other stuff

Navigate to the Addon Folder

Install DX 9c since the game will spout a certain error message if you don’t. Use the dxwebsetup.exe. If you need and VC/VS files install them as well but I doubt anyone needs these.

Start the Game

In order to start the game almost all korean games require the game start from the official website. To start Bless go to: bless.pmang.com/?intro=done

It is best when you use Internet Explorer. Chrome and Firefox work too but IE works best or guaranteed.

The order with Bless is the following:

1. Login at the official site
2. Connect to your VPN to get a Korean IP
3. Start the game
4. If a patch is available you can disconnect from the VPN since it boosts the speed of your DL however GameGuard will then spout an error message if you have a non-korean IP. If it is a small patch you can leave your VPN connection. If you have to patch more files you may have to start the game twice.
5. After Patching is done and nothing occurred Game Guard will patch itself and check if everything’s okay
6. When Game Guard finished authenticating you can disconnect from your VPN
7. Splash Screen appears and Game Loads
8. Play

Login

Choose the account type you have and log in with your account information

If you are a new user there is no character inforamtion besides your account name.
If you choose Union (like me) everything changes to the redish theme. If you chose Hieron you have a blueish theme.

Starting the Game

As already said – after login you have to connect to your VPN and then press the green circled letters (Game Start)

Starting up the game for the first time will require you to install the PstallSetup.exe

Install it, close the browser, login again and start the game again. That should do it.

When everything went right, your active windows should minimize and in the System Tray there you be the Pmang Icon from the Pmang Launcher:

Patching the Game

WIP

GameGuard

After a possible patch Game Guard will update itself and will perform a check, then authenticate and your the splash screen will appear:

Bless should then take a while to start up. After that you should be able to get to the server selection and well… do your thing.

FPS Fix

Since Bless suffers from some FPS problems Xenonino posted a fix for that problem:

Cash Shop

Pmang Cash Shop Currency

You can buy the Pmang Cash Shop Currency on Newgameway for example if you go to Bless -> Item Shop Tab or go to OBTGame: obtgame.com/pmang-cash-shop-ca…k-squad-ava-bless-sf.html

There are also guides on how to charge these points from your own Credit Card but I never really figured these guides out or they were already old so yeah…

Cash Shop

The official URL of the shop is: bless.pmang.com/shop/index.nwz#shop/

The content of the shop is:

• Limited Sales like – Get a Unique Mount + Premium Service for a reduced price
• Premium Service
• Gems for the ingame shop

Ingame Gem Shop (Loumena Shop)

The ingame shop content consists of:

• Costumes and Rare/Unique Mounts
• Convenience Items like another skill deck, permanent/30 day gathering tools, Teleport Items
• Player Support Items like Peace Declaration, Purification Items, Skill Books (the same as if you would buy them from the Instructor just that you don’t have to spend money on it)
• Mount stuff (didn’t bother with it)
• Other things like lucky bags with Potions, etc. in it

Premium Service

When you purchase something in the Store (VIP, Gems or any other Package) you have to claim it ingame on your character. VIP and Gems are character based not account based, keep that in mind.
