Why players farm chaos and the characteristics of alignment

In Sol: Enchantment, there are two alignment states: 'Guardian' and 'Destroyer.' Alignment increases when you eliminate monsters and decreases when you eliminate other characters in PVP. If your alignment rises above a certain threshold, your name turns blue, indicating a 'Guardian' state; if it drops below a certain threshold, your name turns red, indicating a 'Destroyer' state.

Each state is divided into nine levels, with specific stat changes based on your alignment. Characters in the Guardian state gain increased max HP and physical defense, and lose fewer items upon death. Conversely, characters in the Destroyer state gain increased damage but suffer reduced physical defense and higher item loss upon death.

At first glance, the Guardian state might seem superior, but in the current game, defense is not considered a highly valuable stat. While most players equate defense with 'Damage Reduction,' defense in Sol: Enchantment functions more like 'Evasion.' Consequently, most players agree that unless you have an immense amount of defense relative to the requirements of your current hunting grounds, it doesn't provide much benefit.

However, the Destroyer state provides a massive +5 damage boost at level 9, which can make a significant difference in actual hunting. This is why some users intentionally lower their alignment through PVP. This trend has increasingly led to restrictions on the growth of innocent, casual players.

How to PVP

PVP is very simple. Click on the player you wish to attack and press the attack button to enter PVP mode and begin your assault. If you turn on [Settings - Controls - Attack Other Characters Instantly], you can initiate an attack with a single click.

Clicking the map name at the top of the mini-map allows you to check PVP penalties based on regional information. PVP is disabled in safe zones, but enabled everywhere else. Note that there are no penalties for PVP deaths in combat zones.

The Downsides of Farming Chaos

Of course, farming chaos has its drawbacks. Because your name color clearly indicates your low alignment, you become an easy target for other players. Depending on the server, some players may attack anyone with low alignment on sight. If you prefer to play the game automatically and peacefully, this can become quite exhausting.

Additionally, low alignment carries heavy penalties if you lose in PVP. The probability of losing more items at once increases, and characters level 45 or higher will have a portion of their Nine looted upon death. Fortunately, there is a cap on how much can be looted, but if you die repeatedly, you may find your Nine disappearing in an instant. Always remember that lowering your alignment carries significant risks.

If you want to minimize these penalties, it is recommended to stay in the Destroyer state only until level 45, and then diligently eliminate monsters to restore your alignment afterward.
