Most cash shops focus on improving a particular user's experience - the one who actually put money in gets something out of it. **That idea is dead here.** Aincrad Legacy uses **server-wide cash shop bonuses**: everything in the cash shop that interacts with gameplay is a bonus that is bought by a single person and applied to the **entire server**. When someone activates one, a broadcast names the generous Adventurer who turned it on. ## How it works Every Global Bonus follows the same rules: * Buying the matching cash-shop item triggers the bonus **server-wide** for its duration (**6 hours** for most bonuses). * If another purchase is made while the bonus is active, it gains **another stack** and the duration is **refreshed** in full. Each bonus has its own step per stack and its own **cap** - once capped, new purchases only refresh the duration. * When a bonus **expires, its stacks are cleared** back to the first-time-buy value. If the community wants to keep a bonus stacked and going, just keep refreshing it before it runs out. * There is **no personal-only version** - every Global Bonus is shared by the whole server. ### Knowing what is active * While any Global Bonus is running, every player carries a **Global Bonus** status icon. The icon itself grants nothing - it is a reminder that server-wide bonuses are live, and it disappears once the last one ends. * Type **`@globalbonus`** in chat to list every active bonus with its current value and exact time remaining. * The **Global Bonus Board** NPC shows every bonus's current value and time remaining at a glance. ## Base rates This bonus family covers all of the game's base rates: ``` - Character XP - Adventure XP - Mastery XP - Col gained - Drop rate - Fame gained ``` Each of these is its own separate bonus. They are straightforward: while active, the rate is increased as a **final multiplier on top of all your other bonuses** (gear, Monster Essences, roles). Col gained applies to Col earned from monsters and quest rewards - sales and trades are excluded. The boosted rates **reflect on all tooltips** and server-side displays, **except quests** - their shown info is controlled by the client (technical limitation). * Starts at **+8%** on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **+8%**, up to a maximum of **+40%**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. ## Mutated rolls Based on actual rolls: whenever a monster is killed, the system rolls to check if the respawned one will be [Mutated](/aincrad-legacy-docs/world-and-monsters/mutated.md). This bonus makes the system roll **additional times, always keeping the rarer hit**. * Starts at **+1 extra roll** on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **+1 roll**, up to a maximum of **+3**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. ## Death penalty A direct reduction of the [penalty that incurs from dying](/aincrad-legacy-docs/getting-started/death-penalty.md). * Starts at **-6%** penalty on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **-6%**, up to a maximum of **-30%**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. ## Field boss A direct reduction of the number of monsters that need to be killed for a [Field Boss](/aincrad-legacy-docs/world-and-monsters/field-boss-hunts.md) to appear. * Starts at **-5%** killcount on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **-5%**, up to a maximum of **-25%**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. ## Increased item rarity A plain % increase in the rarer [rarity](/aincrad-legacy-docs/economy-and-social/loot-boxes.md) outcomes of dropped equipment, while reducing the normal outcome in the same proportion. * Starts at **+20%** on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **+20%**, up to a maximum of **+100%**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. ## Drop rolls Based on actual rolls: whenever you kill a monster, the system rolls to check which items it has dropped. This bonus makes the system roll **an additional time for each item** the monster can drop - the item drops if any roll succeeds. * This bonus **cannot stack** - buying it again just refreshes the duration. * Lasts **1 hour**. ## Rarity rolls Based on actual rolls: whenever a piece of equipment drops, the system rolls to check what [rarity](/aincrad-legacy-docs/economy-and-social/loot-boxes.md) it will be. This bonus makes the system roll **additional times, always keeping the rarer hit**. It stacks with Increased item rarity. * Starts at **+1 extra roll** on the first purchase. * Each stack adds **+1 roll**, up to a maximum of **+3**. * Lasts **6 hours**, refreshed on every purchase. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
