Bonds

What Are Bonds?

Bonds are items purchased with real money that can be:
  1. Redeemed for membership time
  2. Traded to other players for in-game gold
  3. Used for specific account upgrades

Bond Pricing

  • Real Money: TBD (likely $6-8 USD per bond)
  • Grand Bazaar: Market-driven price by players

Bond Trading Restrictions

  • Bonds purchased from Grand Bazaar or traded between players become untradeable
  • To make a bond tradeable again: Pay 300k gold OR 10% of current GE price (whichever is higher) at the Grand Bazaar
  • Prevents bond flipping and market manipulation

FOMO Strategy: F2P players share the same world as P2P, seeing members with high-level gear, completing end-game content, and accessing features they cannot. This encourages membership conversion.

F2P Restrictions (Detailed)

RestrictionF2P Limit
Non-combat skill levelsCapped at 40
Combat skill levelsNo cap (can reach 100)
Consumables (food, potions)Cannot use items requiring level 40+
Combat equipmentCannot equip items requiring level 50+
Result: F2P players can enter mid/high-tier bosses but deal significantly reduced damage due to equipment restrictions. They can witness end-game content happening around them.
