Registering, downloading, and running the game

First of all, you will need Create Game Account a in order to play.

In order to get the client, you will need to download the client from Mayhem's official website https://pwmayhem.com/play_now.php#downloads

Once the download is complete, simply run the launcher. It will automatically download and update the client into the folder that it is in.

There is a chance that the antivirus software may falsely flag the download as malicious, but it's safe to ignore. It is advised to add it to the antivirus exclusion list

Once that is done, the Play button will become available and you are ready to start the game.

.

Starting your character

Once you have created a character and logged in, you will spawn into the Celestial Vale. In Heroes' Terrace, at (326, 525), you will notice an NPC, the Gear Provider.

Talk to the NPC, and you will see the following options:

The Starter Goods will open up a shop which will sell the Starter Materials you will need to craft your starter gear, Starter Orbs and Starter Oracles :

Each material is for one set, as described below.

Level 1
Level 50
Level 90

These materials can be used when accessing the Starter Gear option:

Here you can craft your level 1, level 50 and level 90 gear. These sets of gear should be more than enough for any class to face most of the challenges that may come in their way. You do not need to have a crafting skill for these items, and you may retry crafting them as many times as you wish.



Once you are done, you are ready to start your adventure.

The Gear Provider can also be found in West Archosaur at (531, 652).


- The Golden Treasure Chest has had its rewards changed in order to accommodate the server's leveling pace.

- The calendar rewards players with free Teleacoustics, Teleport Stones, Guardian Scrolls (about 10 per week of each), and other useful goodies.

.

Leveling

At the beginning, the best way to level up is by doing the quests in the Celestial Vale. This should be a breeze, as the server rate should speed up the process. All quests give 3 times the exp and twice the spirit of their retail counterparts.

The exp rate of all monsters is x5 and Hyper EXP Stones are available on this server.

At level 8, you will receive a free 7m/s mount via quest from the Pet Manager NPC in Heroes' Terrace (327, 529).

At level 10, you will receive a free 4m/s (5m/s when accelerated) flier via quest from Overseer Yen Zutien in Sigil Palace (364, 566 �"12).


.

Cultivation

The coin reward has been increased on all cultivation quests.

Once you reach Lv100 and acquire "Aware of the Void" or "Aware of Myriad" (Lv89 Cultivation, Sage or Demon); speak with the "Demon Envoy of Justice" or the "Sage Envoy of Justice" to do Mayhem Cultivation (Sage Mayhem and Demon Mayhem) which will grant you a "Celestial Sage" or "Demon Mayhem" upon completion.

.

Guilds

As you progress through the game, you may wish to join a guild or create your own and recruit other players. Here, we have adjusted the maximum limit of players that can be in the same guild according to the table below:

Guild levelMax players
115
220
330

This is in order to encourage the formation of multiple guilds in order to make PvP more interesting and competitive. These numbers may be adjusted in the future for balancing purposes.

- Faction Base Quests guild materials, contribution and faction construction points are multiplied by 5.

- Reduced the maximum number of positions.

PositionsMax Allowed
Marshals3
Executors9

- Territory Wars is a 30 vs 30 battle now.

Warsong City new custom mode: Warsong City Trio Mode

This simplistic yet engaging mode comprises five pavilions; Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, and Metal. upon clearing the monsters in each pavilion, a corresponding elemental boss emerges. Once all five Elemental Generals are taken down, the ultimate boss, the Incarcerate, will appear. players can then teleport to confront this formidable foe. upon the Incarcerate's defeat, players receive well-deserved rewards. This quest mode is available for squads with 2 or 3 members. the individual rewards for each player include:



Additionally, there's a chance for the Incarcerate to drop one or two Essence of Offense (25%).

To start this mode, speak with Warsong's Eclipse inside Warsong City.

.

The cursed Nightscream Island

When you reach level 100, you can enter the Cursed Nightscream Island. In order to do so, go to West Archosaur, talk to the Nightscream Island Survivor (528, 653), and accept his quest. You can also find this NPC in Dreamweaver Port at (668, 373). You will then be teleported to the island.

This is a public instance with PvP enabled. So, when entering, make sure you are prepared.

Once inside, you will automatically receive a quest.

This island is full of monsters that drop non-tradable Jindan Orbs. It is highly recommended that you tackle this instance with a group of players, as these enemies can pose a challenge even without the added danger of being killed by other players.

The number of drops from each enemy can vary, but, in general, each monster will drop up to 4 Volatile Jindan Orbs per kill.

Once you collect enough Orbs, the quest will auto-complete and convert them into tradable Jindan Orbs. The quest will then be automatically re-taken so you can continue gathering if you wish. The quest will work at most 60 times per day.

If you still have Volatile Jindan Orbs in your inventory, but wish to leave the instance, you have the option to convert them into Jindan Orbs at the NPC near the spawn area.

If you leave the instance with Volatile Jindan Orbs on you, they will disappear from your inventory.

If you die, you will drop Volatile Jindan Orbs, regardless of whether you were killed by a player, or a monster. Guardian Scrolls will not protect you from dropping this item. However, it is advised to have guardian scrolls on you to prevent the loss of other items in PvP.

When you are done, you can leave the instance at any time via the NPC at the spawn point.

Once you have gathered enough Jindan Orbs, you can trade them at the Nightscream Island Survivor for items such as:

The "traditional" methods to farm these items are still present in the game. This comes as a new alternative to obtain them.
