Redline System

The main Redline System interface.

The Redline System is an end-game progression system allowing dedicated players to push beyond the standard limits of Aspect Tiers, Mastery Chain Links, and certain Stat Caps. Players earn Redline Experience through various activities, which allows them to unlock Redline Points. These points can then be spent on powerful, account-wide upgrades.

• All Redline Experience and Redline Points are shared account-wide. Any character on the account can contribute to earning points, and all characters benefit from the total points unlocked.
• Redline Upgrade selections, however, are stored per Echo, allowing different setups on different server instances.
• Access the Redline menu by typing `[Redline` in chat or via the Paperdoll: Help Menu -> Redline.

Redline Requirements

To begin earning Redline Experience and purchasing upgrades, a player's account must meet at least one of the following conditions:

• Have unlocked at least one Aspect to Tier 15.
• Have unlocked 30 Mastery Chain Links.

Experience Scalars

The rate at which Redline Experience is earned depends on the player's Experience Scalar. This scalar modifies the base experience gained from activities (based on Gold value, see Redline Experience). The maximum possible Experience Scalar is 100%.

Redline Experience Scalar display.

There are two ways to increase your Experience Scalar: 1. Unlock 30 Mastery Chain Links: This automatically grants a 100% Experience Scalar for the Redline System. 2. Reach Tier 15 with Unique Aspects: Each unique Aspect brought to Tier 15 on the account increases the Experience Scalar by 33%.

Having multiple characters reach Tier 15 in the same Aspect does not provide additional scalar increases. Only unique Aspects count.

Examples:

• 1 unique Tier 15 Aspect = 33% Scalar
• 2 unique Tier 15 Aspects = 66% Scalar
• 3 unique Tier 15 Aspects = 99% (effectively 100%) Scalar

Redline Upgrades

The Upgrades tab in the Redline menu allows players to spend their accumulated Redline Points. Each character on the account can independently allocate the total available points.

Redline Experience

Redline Points are earned by accumulating Redline Experience specific to different content locations (Dungeons, Wilderness, Ocean).

Redline Experience tracking per location.

• Experience is gained by earning Gold from activities like killing monsters, opening treasure chests, and ship activities within those locations.
• The experience gained is modified by the player's Experience Scalar.
  • Example: Killing a monster worth 1,000 base Gold Value with a 33% Experience Scalar provides 333 Redline Experience for that monster's location.
• Once enough experience is gathered at a location to unlock the next point, the "Unlock Point" button becomes available.

Redlightning Bottles

Redlightning Bottle

Redlightning Bottles are consumable items required to unlock Redline Points. They are obtained as rare loot from various high-level activities across Outlands (e.g., Bosses, Treasure Maps, Ship Battles). They must be in the player's backpack to unlock a point.

Redline Certifications

Buying Certifications.

Redline Certifications are consumable items also required to unlock Redline Points. They can be purchased from the Prevalian Merchant under the Miscellaneous category using either Gold or Doubloons (but not Prevalia Coins). They must be in the player's backpack to unlock a point.

Unlocking Redline Points

Unlocking a Redline Point consumes a Bottle and a Certification.

• Clicking the Unlock Point button consumes one Redlightning Bottle and one Redline Certification from the player's backpack.
• This increases the account-wide "Redline Pts Available" pool.
• The experience required for the next point at that specific location increases.

Tracking unlocked points and increasing XP requirements.

Resetting Points Spent

Resetting spent Redline Points.

• Players can reset the Redline Points spent on the current character once every 24 hours.
• Resetting returns all points spent by that character back to the available pool for reallocation. It does not affect the total points unlocked on the account or points spent by other characters.
• Certain benefits may be temporarily deactivated until points are reassigned:

Resetting Aspect Tier Limit

• If points allocated to Aspect Tier Limit are reset, any Aspects currently above Tier 15 will have their Active Tier Level revert to 15.
• Their Permanent Tier Level (the highest unlocked) remains unchanged.
• Players cannot benefit from Tiers 16+ until the Aspect Tier Limit upgrade is repurchased.

Resetting Mastery Chain Link Limit

• If points allocated to Mastery Chain Link Limit are reset while more than 30 links are installed, the Mastery Chain menu will show a WARNING: LINK LIMIT EXCEEDED message.
• All Mastery Chain bonuses will be disabled until either the excess links are removed or the Link Limit upgrade is repurchased to cover the installed links.

Redline Trophies
