Cabal Online - Introduction

Cabal Online is a 2005. free-to-play 3D MMORPG made by ESTsoft from South Korea.

Cabal online gameplay takes place in the Nevareth, a land that was destroyed many years ago by a powerful group of men called the CABAL. Their influence is getting stronger and the evil is once again a threat to a Nevareth peace. It is up to players to stop that evil from destroying the land for the second time.

Currently you can choose from regions:

• Brazil,
• Europe,
• Japan,
• China,
• Korea,
• North America
• Taiwan.

After you log in the game, you can make 6 characters (later expandable up to 8) and you can choose from 8 classes.

CLASSES:

• Blader
• Wizzard
• Warrior
• Force Archer
• Force Blader
• Force Shielder
• Gladiator (added later)
• Force gunner (latest added class)

NATIONS:

• Capella (purple)
• Procyon (blue)
• Nationless (orange)

At a certain point of the storyline you can choose between the two nations in a particular quest or remain nationless (by skipping it). Having a nation grants you the access to a MISSION WAR, Nation Warps, Nation bonuses and Special titles.

LEVELING:

Character can be leveled from level 1 to lvl 200 and can gain an additional 100 levels of OXP (after lvl 200 is reached, instead of EXP, you get OXP).

You level your character with EXPERIENCE that you get by solving the QUESTS, fighting PVE in DUNGEONS or fighting the monsters on the MAPS.

PlayerVsPlayer and PlayerKill have an important role in the Cabal gameplay.

For PVP gameplay there is a PVP arena, but also can be performed outside of safe zones on every map by PVP agreement, on War Channel 20 but it is mostly done on "MISSION WARS".

MISSION WARS

• gaining honor and honor rank
• participation is optional

Wars between Capella and Procyon for the domination on the three maps:

• The Arena (for lower levels)
• Tierra Gloriosa - TG (EU war times: 2am, 10 am, 14 pm, 18 pm 22 pm by Central european Timezone) - duration: 1 hour
• Memoria Crysos - MC (EU war times: 0:00am, 8 am, 12 pm, 16 pm 20 pm by Central european Timezone) - duration: 40 minutes

Wars are happening every two hours alternating between TG and MC.

All characters on the war have a nation uniform. Each class has it's own look.

Also you are joining the war channel according to your level:

• Mission War Lv. 52 ~ 79
• Mission War Lv. 80 ~ 109
• Mission War Lv. 110 ~ 139
• Mission War Lv. 140 ~ 169

MERCENARIES

• only in dungeons
• you can spawn two of them to follow you
• different mercenaries give you different buffs

MAPS

• 13 maps + 3 war maps
• maps have entry level - lvl up and unlock new maps
• it is not a open world game
• travel from map to map through warp gates
• buying premium allows you fast travel from any place on the map to a warp point on any other map
• on every map there are monsters
• some maps have boss monsters that have a random respawn time
• on war maps you can kill characters of the other nation and nationless. Instead of their name, game shows random number colored in red. Killing character of the opposite nation gives you a honor point but that is not the way to level honor rank because on one mission war or storyline quest you get hundreds of thousands honor points so those few kills won't mean that much for your honor rank.

QUESTS

• storyline quest tree
• general (side) quests
• all grant you experience, some give you honor points, game money or some other type of the reward
• every 10 levels you have "Style up" quest - they give you access to battle mods, stronger skills, give you more SP bars, the ability to have more buffs of the same type cast on you, extend the duration of the buffs and arts and many other.

BATTLE MODS 1, 2 and 3

• Battlemode 1 (more of a buff, used to buff your combo)
• Battle mode 2 (each class has different advances) - auto-attack on
• Wizzard

• blades are replaced with claws
• auto-attacks a one target with high damage split in few portions
• "retarget" - canceling the skill animation achieve higher speed and more damage per second
• Warrior

• auto attack deals a damage in 4 hits that repeat
• slow retarget possible

• Force Shielder  
• gets powered shield that he tosses on the enemies auto-attacking

• fatal 1 2 and 3 do not miss or get blocked
• you can make 3 synergies before pressing fatal to get all 3 synergy effect combined at once

• focused fire
• critical shooting
• enhanced shooting
• BBAB would give you healer's concentration synergy for buffed healing skills
