To understand this post, you should first understand what rates are in Lineage II. Rates are multipliers that affect experience or SP gain, the number or chance of drops/spoils from monsters and Raid Bosses, etc. Originally, all of these rates were always x1.

The Lineagedos project essential goal is to preserve the Lineage II experience in its Interlude chronicle. For this reason, the rates are x1 (Drop, Spoil, Adena, XP, SP, Seals, etc.), as the player must have adequate time to explore the entire world, all the quests, and all the available areas, maintain a healthy market without harming the workforce of Spoilers and Artisans, and, ultimately, discover everything this magnificent game has to offer.

As an incentive for daily gameplay, we've added various bonuses in exchange for certain player actions that slightly increase these percentages, or rates. The goal is to encourage collaboration between players, help spread the word about the project, and make farming more enjoyable.

To be aware of these bonuses, once in the game, SHIFT+LEFT CLICK on any mob, Boss or Raid Boss and the following window will appear:

You'll see a table with two columns: Chance and Item. The first column shows the item's drop probability, and the second shows the item's name. The Chance column varies in percentage depending on the character's active bonuses.

Just below the drop table, you'll see the Character Bonuses section. This section displays the three types of bonuses available in Lineagedos. When the bonus is active, the text will change from gray to gold.

Now that you know how multipliers or rates work and how they are displayed in the SHIFT+CLICK window, we will explain the three available bonuses and how to get them:

1. Party Bonus (rates +5%)

To encourage player cooperation, motivate participation in taking down bosses and raid bosses, or access dangerous lore instances like Galrauch Den, all party members receive a +5% bonus on all rates. To receive this bonus, you must not only be part of a party but also be near it. If you stray too far, you will no longer receive this benefit.

2. Vote Reward (rates +10%)

One of the fundamental goals for growing a server's community is to perform well on server listing sites like HOPZONE. To encourage voting and thus help grow the community, voting for Lineagedos on HOPZONE offers a +10% bonus on all rates, among other benefits. You can find more information here: Mithren, the Priestess.

3. The Bodahn’s elixir (rates +10%)

Unlike the previous two bonuses, Bodahn's Elixir is obtained by killing mobs. Being a drop item, it makes those hours of farming more bearable. It can also be obtained in the Silver Shop for Silver Coins or in Bodahn's Bazaar for Gold Coins. This bonus, like the others, grants a +10% increase in all rates as well as a bonus on daily rewards.

So, if you work hard to earn these three bonuses, you'll be able to enjoy gameplay with +25% rates. While it may not seem like much, it's definitely something you'll notice in your daily gameplay.
