Summary
The Redline System allows high-end players to continue progressing their Aspect Tiers, Mastery Chains, and Stat Caps beyond normal limits. Players earn Experience and unlock Redline Points, which they can spend on various Redline Upgrades. All experience and Redline Points are shared account-wide, meaning any character on the same account benefits from them.
Players can access the Redline menu by typing [Redline in the chat or by navigating to the Paperdoll menu: Help Menu -> Redline.
Redline Requirements
Players can begin earning Redline Experience and purchasing Redline Upgrades once they have met at least one of the following conditions:
- Unlocked a Tier 15 Aspect on their account.
- Unlocked 30 Mastery Chain Links on their account.
Experience Scalars
The amount of experience a player earns towards the Redline System is affected by their Experience Scalar. This scalar determines how much experience a player gains while earning gold at various locations, with a maximum possible experience scalar of 100%.
If a player has unlocked 30 Mastery Chain Links, they will automatically receive a 100% Experience Scalar for the Redline System.
Alternatively, a player can increase their Experience Scalar by 33% for each unique Aspect that has reached Tier 15. However, if multiple characters on the same account reach Tier 15 in the same Aspect, it will not count multiple times.
Redline Upgrades
The Redline menu contains an Upgrades section where players can spend their Redline Points to purchase upgrades. Each character on an account has full access to all Redline Points earned, meaning each character can independently spend the full amount available. Redline Upgrade selections are stored per Echo, meaning switching Echoes will change a character's Redline selections.
Aspect Tier Limit
This upgrade allows players to unlock Aspect Tier Levels 16-20. Players must still gather the required Cores, Distillations, and Triumphs needed to upgrade each Aspect. However, no additional Aspect Experience is required for Tiers 16-20, and players can upgrade immediately once their Aspect Tier Limit has been increased.
Players can only purchase this upgrade if they already have at least one Aspect at Tier 15.
Mastery Chain Link Limit
This upgrade increases the number of links a player can install into their Mastery Chain by up to 20 additional links (for a total of 50). Players can only purchase this upgrade once they have reached the standard 30-link limit.
Swing Speed Cap
This upgrade increases the player's Swing Speed Cap, which determines the maximum bonus to melee attack speeds. The default cap is +50%, and each upgrade increases it by 0.5%, up to a maximum of +10%.
Mana Refund Chance Cap
This upgrade increases the player's Mana Refund Chance Cap, which determines the maximum chance of refunding mana when casting spells. The default cap is +50%, and each upgrade increases it by 0.5%, up to a maximum of +10%.
Damage Resistance Cap
This upgrade increases the player's Damage Resistance Cap, which determines the maximum amount of damage resistance a player can stack, excluding reductions from armor, magic resist, and parrying. The default cap is 75%, and each upgrade increases it by 0.5%, up to a maximum of +10%.
Redline Experience
To earn Redline Points, players must first gain Redline Experience by earning gold from activities such as killing monsters, unlocking treasure chests, and performing ship activities. Each location has its own experience requirement for unlocking Redline Points.
The experience gained is modified by the player's Experience Scalar. For example, killing a monster worth 1,000 gold with a 33% Experience Scalar will provide 333 Redline Experience for that location.
Once enough experience has been earned at a location, players can unlock a Redline Point. However, doing so requires consuming both a Redlightning Bottle and a Redline Certification, which must be in the player's backpack.
Redlightning Bottles
Redlightning Bottles are rare loot items that can be obtained from various loot-producing activities throughout Outlands.
Redline Certifications
Redline Certifications can be purchased from the Prevalian Merchant under the Miscellaneous category. These can be bought using Gold or Doubloons, but not Prevalia Coins.
Unlocking Redline Points
Players can unlock Redline Points by clicking the Unlock Point button in the Redline menu, which will consume one Redlightning Bottle and one Redline Certification.
Unlocking a Redline Point increases the "Redline Pts Available" that a player can spend on upgrades. Players can also track the total number of Redline Points they have unlocked for each location. However, each time a Redline Point is unlocked at a specific location, the amount of experience required for the next point at that location increases.
Progressive Experience Amounts
The base experience required to unlock a Redline Point at any given location is 5,000,000. Each time a Redline Point is unlocked at that location, the experience requirement increases as follows:
| Progressive Experience | |
|---|---|
| Location | Amount |
| Dungeons | +1,000,000 XP |
| Wilderness | +1,000,000 XP |
| Ocean | +200,000 XP |
Purchasing Redline Upgrades
The Redline menu displays the number of Redline Points Available in the top-left section. Each character on an account can spend the total number of points unlocked for that account, meaning multiple characters can each use all unlocked points.
Each Redline Upgrade has a fixed cost in Redline Points, which does not increase with multiple purchases. If a player does not have enough points to buy an upgrade, it will appear in grey text. Players must click the Upgrade button twice to confirm their purchase.
Resetting Points Spent
Players can reset their Redline Points once every 24 hours.
Resetting points will not remove any upgrades but will temporarily deactivate certain benefits until the points are reassigned.
Resetting Aspect Tier Limit
If a player has unlocked Aspect Tiers above 15 and resets their points, the Aspect's Permanent Tier Level remains unchanged. However, its Active Tier Level will revert to 15, and players cannot use higher tiers until they re-purchase the Aspect Tier Limit upgrade.
Resetting Mastery Chain Link Limit
If a player resets their Mastery Chain Link Limit but has more than 30 links installed, their Mastery Chain menu will display a WARNING: LINK LIMIT EXCEEDED message in red text. Mastery Chain bonuses will be disabled until excess links are removed or the limit is increased again.
Redline Trophies
Players can earn Achievement Trophies by unlocking Redline Points at different locations. Each location has five ranks of Redline Trophies, displayed in the Redline menu.
