Promotion

Overview
A promotion is an upgrade for your character. It can be purchased from King Tibianus III of Thais, Queen Eloise of Carlin, Emperor Kruzak of Kazordoon, Grand Vizier Ishebad of Ankrahmun or Emperor Rehal of Beregar.

Cost and Requirements
In order to receive a promotion, the character must, first of all, be level 20 or higher. Secondly, only Premium Accounts can receive a promotion. Finally, it will cost 20,000 gp to receive the promotion when you are ready.

New Name
The first benefit of a character promotion, is that you will receive a new name for your vocation. Druids will become Elder Druids, Sorcerers will become Master Sorcerers, Knights will become Elite Knights, and Paladins will become Royal Paladins.

Reduced Death Penalty
A very valuable benefit of promotion is the reduced loss in a death. Buying Promotion will reduce the experience and skills lost in a death by 30%, unlike Blessings, this benefit will be in effect as long as you have the promoted character.

NOTE: When a promoted character loses premium, they will temperarily lose the promotion until they get premium back again.

Soul Points
For promoted characters, Soul Points will regenerate eight times faster than unpromoted characters. They will regenerate one soul point every 15 seconds, instead of one soul point every 2 minutes.

Mana and Hitpoints
Full article is Regeneration.

New Spells
Each vocation has one spell that requires a promotion before they can learn it. These spells can only be learned from Eremo by visiting him on his island near Edron and Cormaya. You need to be Premium Account for buying and using these Spells.
