[Factional Forgiveness]

• We are announcing the opening of a new factional forgiveness instance. Throughout April, characters who wish to regain their place within the factions will have the opportunity to do so by following a special procedure.

🏛️ How to Participate?

• Each player must go to the palace corresponding to their faction, where they will find a new merchant NPC responsible for issuing pardon tickets. These tickets represent the character's commitment to their faction and are the key to rejoining it.

📊 Number of Tickets Based on Your Level

• The number of tickets each character must acquire depends on their current level, according to the following table. Once obtained, the tickets must be given to a Game Administrator, who will validate the request and grant the pardon.

⏳ Validity Period

• The process will only be available during the month of April. After this period, the tickets will expire and cannot be used in future instances.

⚔️ Importance of Factional Pardon

• This measure seeks to provide a new opportunity to those adventurers who, for various reasons, have been separated from their factions.

• It's a unique opportunity to seize and return to the path of honor, camaraderie, and the challenges that only faction life offers!
