Kal Online PvP and PK: Duels, the Assassin Mask, and What Dying Costs You

Kal Online has two separate player-versus-player systems. Duels are consensual and cost nothing. The assassin system is how open-world PvP works, and it carries real penalties. Knowing the difference keeps you from losing experience and items you did not mean to risk.

Duels: Consensual PvP With No Penalties

A duel begins under the agreement of both parties, and there are no penalties on either the winner or the loser.

• Type /duel PLAYER NAME in the chat window to challenge another player.
• The duel can start from anywhere once the player who received the request accepts it.
• The duel ends in a draw if there is no conclusion in 10 minutes.
• It ends when one player's HP drops to 0 and they faint. The loser can be revived using the revive button.
• There is no experience loss even if you lose the duel.
• Either player can end the duel instantly by typing /surrender.
• Monsters can still attack you while a duel is in progress, so pick a safe spot.

The Assassin System: Open-World PK

The assassin system exists to regulate reckless killing in Kal Online. A player who wants to kill others must wear a mask item so they are recognized by everyone.

• Masks can be bought from the mask merchant in the Temporary Fort of Geum-Ohee Castle and the High Land of Sky.
• When the mask is worn, the player's name changes to "assassin" in red, and a mask appears on the character's face.
• Once you become an assassin, the mode cannot be disabled for 2 hours.
• If an assassin is close to you, a warning message appears on your screen.
• In assassin mode you can attack all other players except your own party members and guild members.
• Assassins can also attack other assassins.
• Assassins can only attack others in unsafe areas.

Penalties for Assassins

• An assassin can be attacked by anyone outside a safe area.
• If you die while in assassin mode, you lose experience, but your death count does not increase.
• If you are killed by another player or assassin while in assassin mode, there is a 50% chance you drop one equipped item or one item from your inventory.
• The remaining assassin time disappears if you are killed or you suicide.
• You cannot trade with other players, use shops, or install a fish trap while in assassin mode.
• When an assassin is killed by another player, it is recorded on the town board with both names.

What Normal Players Lose

When a player in normal condition is killed by an assassin, they lose 1/10 of their experience, but their death count does not increase. The assassin indicator is always on, so you always know when you are looking at someone who can legally attack you.
