Skills are more or less acquired through gold or ingame money. Most of them can be learned through your skill tree but some of em however, can only be acquired through proper purchase. Skills look amazing and tantalizing for both physical units and spell casters. The Dynamic lighting effects while executing skills makes combat quite additive, and getting to hear your characters say they HOOAAAs and YAAAs totally enhances your combat experience.

Sightseeing: Always A Treat

After creating my first character (a dark elf fighter), I found myself awestruck after seeing the Dark elves' town. The visuals were really amazing, for every area that I come across tends to be different from the rest. The map was huge, giving me an impression that it would most likely be impossible to explore it in a span of a week. It's always a big plus for a game to have a big map, mostly because nothing rewards a player better than getting to see another part of the world. The whole forest-dungeon- town doesn't seem so appealing now a days, so I guess this means that Lineage 2 Adena has something that players should look forward to.

The Best Is Yet To Come

The game lets players transform into various beings (most of which are race-tied) that grant them more power than their default characters could ever muster. This helps when you're doing PVP or when you're up against stronger enemies.
Since this game revolves around PVP, I guess you're looking for something different. Yes, the game lets guilds own castles throughout the game. Once marked as your territory, other guilds or races can lure you into something that's called a castle siege. In this scenario, you'll battle it out in an all out war against your suppressors. Pretty neat eh?

What really caught my attention though were two cursed swords that randomly appear in the world of Lineage 2 Adena. The Zariche and Akamanah are two separate items that grants a player surreal powers. Once a player gets a hold of either swords, their name turns red and must continuously kill other players in order to further enhance the sword's lifespan. Once a player dies, the sword disappears and that player returns to their old self. It is pretty cool when you look at it. You can probably kill a lot of people during a castle siege, provided that your teammates don't kill you first.
