Realm of Reflection



The Realm of Reflection is a leveling zone that allows players to gain Experience and Spirit idly for up to 12 hours per day. It is available for players level 31 and above and requires Reflective Shards or Radiant Shards. The Realm of Reflection can be entered by talking with Mira Laedi, located in North Archosaur (555, 673) and in City of a Thousand Streams (129, 862), and she will teleport the player to a random location inside the realm. The zone itself visually looks the same as Warsong City, however is instead inhabited by passive mobs and NPCs. Similar to Warsong City, jumping off the platforms will result in the player being teleported to the center of the platforms.

Within the realm where the player is teleported in is a Peach Blossom Fairy, where players can exit the realm and create Radiant Shards at. When exiting the Realm of Reflection, players will be teleported to North Archosaur, close to the Mira Laedi. Along with the Peach Blossom Fairy are a Banker, Auctioneer, and Mailbox.

It is possible for players to gain Experience and Spirit outside of the Realm of Reflection through the Star Rewards system. Depending on the account's Star Level, the player can also reflect for longer than 12 hours per day, with the highest possible level having a limit of 24 hours per day.

Story
"To understand the Realm of Reflection, you must understand the history of this mirror I guard. In ancient times, there was a golden dragon that was considered akin to a natural disaster; it was completely unpredictable. The first Elder of the Untamed was the only being capable of taming the beast. From then on, the dragon became the defender of the Untamed during the many wars to come until it could fight no more. Its bones were used to forge this mirror I ride, imbuing within it the power to resist and reflect all magical attacks. For centuries, this mirror was used to protect the City of the Lost, but during a great conflict with the Winged Elves it was shattered."

It doesn't look broken to me.

"Only the energy stored within was shattered. The freed energies coalesced in Perfect World in the form of shards, while the space they once infused became chaotic. I, Mira Laedi, and the Peach Blossom Fairy were summoned by the Elders of Perfect World to see if we could fix the realm. They believe we can use the place inside as a training ground for warriors like yourself since time flows differently there."

''Isn't the realm inside... chaotic?''

"We've been able to calm the energy inside so it is not dangerous, but we still require the shards of the realm to complete it. Will you help us on this endeavor?"

"To gain the benefits of the realm you will need to release the energy within the shards. Once the energy inside is released, you will start to gain wisdom and experience beyond your years. It's quite a nice side effect so trust me when I say it will be worth your time!"

Overview
The Realm of Reflection allows players to gain a small amount of Experience and Spirit for every minute that they reflect. The amount that is gained increases slightly the higher the player's level is. Hyper EXP Stones and other Experience-boosting items do not affect the amount gained. To reflect, the player must have reflection time. This can be viewed by by clicking the Reflection button on-screen or in the menu located in the bottom-right corner of the screen under the Cultivation section. A window will appear with remaining Meditation Time and remaining Deep Reflection time.

Meditation Time, or Reflection Time, can be recharged using Reflective Shards or special Reflective Shards. Deep Reflection Time grants the player more Experience and Spirit than regular Reflection Time, but is recharged using Radiant Shards. Each shard will recharge 1 hour of reflection time, and a maximum of 7 days can be added to each reflection time. To recharge hours, open the Reflection window and click the Recharge button next to the type of reflection time you want to recharge. The up and down arrows to the left of the button can be used to increase the amount of shards consumed at once.

To start reflection, the player must open the Reflection window, and then click one of the radio buttons to select regular or deep reflection, and then click the Start button. To stop reflecting, the player should open the window again and click the Stop button. Reflection will automatically stop if the player leaves the Realm of Reflection (unless they have Star Levels), logs off, runs out of reflection time, or uses up their daily reflection limit. While reflecting the player does not need to meditate or have the reflection window open, and can move around freely in the zone. They can also use a mount and open a Consignment Shop while reflecting, though reflection time cannot be recharged while in a Consignment Shop.

Players by default can reflect for up to 12 hours per day, regardless of which type of reflection they use. The daily reflection limit resets at 12:00PM noon server time each day. If the player has Star Levels from the Star Rewards system, they will be able to reflect outside of the Realm of Reflection, and their daily reflection limit will increase.
 * Star Level 2: 14 hours
 * Star Level 3: 16 hours
 * Star Level 4: 18 hours
 * Star Level 5: 21 hours
 * Star Level 6: 24 hours
