[h3]New System[/h3]
• Awakening System
- New Awakening System is coming to KurtzPel! For this update, we will be bringing the awakening system to Sword Taliah & Dance of Wind.
- How to unlock Awakening
Reach Lv.20 and Karma Lv.6 on your character, then you will be able to talk to the NPC inside Eltheca to receive the Awakening Quest. Once complete, you will receive an item that will unlock your awakening. These awakening quests can be complete by playing dungeons within your level range or can be unlocked by purchasing Awakening Tomes in the KP Shop.

- Karma Skill Tree Expansion
When you unlock your awakening, you can level up your karma up to Lv.11 and you can become stronger with each level by acquiring passives or new skills.
Expanded Sword Taliah Skill Tree

Expanded Dance of Wind Skill Tree

With this update, all Karma's max level will be increased from 5 to 6 but only Sword Taliah & Dance of Wind will be able to reach Lv.11 through Awakening.
- Awakening Gauge
Once you unlock your Awakening, you will be able to use the Awakening Gauge in dungeons.
Your awakening gauge will increase by dealing damage to monsters and the amount of gauge increased will depend on your damage. Once you have filled up your awakening gauge, you will be able to activate it with L-Alt key. When the Awakening Gauge is active, your movement speed, attack power, stamina recovery, and mana recovery will be increased for a set duration.

When your Awakening is active, you can perfectly dodge an enemy's attack to slow everything around you and gain additional movement speed, action speed, mana/stamina/hp recovery increase buff.

When you acquire the Awakening Rage Skill by hitting Lv.10 on your Karma, you will be able to use the Awakening Rage Skill by awakening with a full rage bar. The awakening rage skill must be used before the Awakening effect expires.

Certain awakening system and skills will only be usable in dungeons. We are still reviewing the possibility of allowing awakening skills in PVP but only after awakening for all karmas are released.
