Dungeon Experience Boosts
Fear of Darkness
When in dungeons as you descend deeper into a dungeon, monsters will draw power from the increasing darkness, with this extra power comes extra experience. Whilst a monster may only deal a small percentage of extra damage you will also receive a nice exp boost. All dungeons yield the best exp bonus on the deepest floors. (upto 2.8x bonuses can currently be obtained).
Fury Breaks
This is balanced by the new Fury Break system, each core build has a different Fury Break. As a player enters a dungeon they will automatically gain fury for every kill made on that floor, at 100 kills your character will enter fury break level 1, at 1000 kills your character will enter fury break level 2. each level of fury break gives a temporary stat boost. Each level of fury break is identified by a message in chat, see below.
Fury Break Level 1 - (Stats+ = Character Level)
Strength Build - DC and HP (It's Over 9000!)
Magic Build - MAC and MP (Not so Squishy Mode!)
Spirit Build - AC and SC (Cake or Death?!)
Fury Break Level 2 - (Stats+ = Character Level x 2)
Strength Build - DC and HP (SSJ-<username>)
Magic Build - MAC and MP (Furious Anger!)
Spirit Build - AC and SC (I'll have the chicken!)
Example:
Level 50 Strength Build, Fury Break Lv1 (DC+50 HP+500), Fury Break Lv2 (DC+100 HP+1000)
Level 50 Magic Build, Fury Break Lv1 (MAC+50 MP+500), Fury Break Lv2 (MAC+100 MP+1000)
Level 50 Spirit Build, Fury Break Lv1 (AC+50 SC+50), Fury Break Lv2 (AC+100 SC+100)
