- Kal Online has two separate buff systems that soften what happens when you die. The Blessing system cuts the experience you lose, and the Special Providence system stops the death counter from going up.
- Both are bought from the ascetic NPC in each village. They require level 6 or higher and cost an amount that depends on your level and the duration you buy.
- Each system comes in 1 hour, 3 hour and 5 hour versions.
- The timer keeps running after you close the game, but the effect disappears the moment your character dies.
- You can run both systems at the same time.
- Blessing system: when you are fainted, the experience you lose is reduced by 50 percent. If you are revived with the Reviving skill, a further 50 percent of the remaining loss is reduced.
- Special Providence system: the death count does not accumulate when you die.
Talk to the ascetic NPC in each village. The official page and the English guide give the same requirement: level 6 or higher, and a fee that depends on your level and on the length you buy.
The durations
Both systems come in 1 hour, 3 hour and 5 hour versions.
The rules that matter
- The effect lasts for the duration you bought, and the remaining time is saved even after you end the game.
- When the character dies, the effect disappears regardless of how much time is left.
- The Blessing and Special Providence systems can be used at the same time.
Q: Does the buff survive a logout?
A: Yes. The official page says the remaining time is stored even when the player ends the game.
Q: Does it protect me if I die?
A: No. The effect disappears on death whatever the remaining duration.
Q: Can I use both at once?
A: Yes. The official page lists using the two systems at the same time as allowed.
Q: Is the death counter the same thing as experience loss?
A: No. They are two separate things, which is why there are two systems. Blessing reduces experience loss, and Special Providence stops the death count from accumulating.
Q: Does the Reviving skill stack with Blessing?
A: Yes. The official page states that a revive with the Reviving skill reduces a further 50 percent of the remaining loss.
