## FAQ
### What is Legacy 2?
Legacy 2 (also written Legacy2 or L2 Legacy, and known as Legacy2 Europe) is an independent fan community server for Lineage II, High Five based, hybrid in both gameplay and client: we merged the best of Interlude, High Five and Classic, with the simplicity of Interlude, the zones, monsters and skills of High Five, and the graphics of Classic. It is free to play and built by players, for players.

### Which Lineage 2 chronicle is Legacy 2?
Legacy 2 is a High Five server. Its world, zones, monsters and skills are based on High Five, it keeps the simple, easy-to-learn feel of Interlude, and it runs on the high-quality graphics of the Classic client.

### Do I need an Interlude, High Five or Classic client?
No. Legacy 2 runs on its own client, so you can't patch an old Interlude, High Five or Classic folder. Download the Legacy 2 launcher: it downloads and installs the complete client and keeps it up to date.

### When does Legacy 2 launch?
Legacy 2 is launching in Q1 2027. The exact Open Beta and Grand Opening dates are announced in the News and in the newsletter.

### Is Legacy 2 free to play?
Yes. Creating an account, downloading the launcher and playing are free. Premium is an optional €9.99 monthly membership for players who want to support the community, and you can cancel anytime.

### Is Legacy 2 pay-to-win?
No. There are no donate coins and no cash shop: nothing that affects the game is sold for real money. Every item, enchant and level is earned in game, the same way for every player.

### What are Legacy Coins?
Legacy Coins are earned only by playing: Journeys, the weekend processions, PvP events, Sanctum dungeons, inviting friends and, soon, voting for the server. They can't be bought with money. You spend them in the in-game Legacy Shop on travel tools, scrolls and spirit items, and on Premium mounts and Kill Effects.

### What are the XP rates on Legacy 2?
Legacy 2 plays at Dynamic x3: EXP and SP are x3 from level 1 to 64, x2 from 65 to 75 and x1.5 from 76 to 85. Drop and spoil are x3; Adena and quests stay at x1. There is no Vitality and Premium gives no rate bonus. Raid bosses go further: every world raid boss drops 3 times, and the Grand Bosses 2 to 3 times.

### What does Premium include?
Every paid month gives you a Premium Pass that you send to any of your characters; double-click it in game to activate 30 days of Premium for that character. Members get the Gold-maned Lion as a free mount, 31 more mounts to unlock with Legacy Coins, Kill Effects on player kills, and Journey III and IV. Everything unlocked stays on the character. Journey III and Journey IV are for Premium members only. Premium never sells items, currency or stats.

### How do vote rewards work?
Vote for Legacy 2 on Hopzone, Topzone and L2Network every 12 hours from your dashboard. Each verified vote gives 3 Legacy Coins, and voting on all three unlocks the Vote Reward Pendant. Withdraw the coins from the dashboard and they arrive by in-game mail; the pendant goes straight into the inventory of a logged-out character, so its 12 hours start at once. Vote rewards go live with the server.

### What are Journeys?
Journeys are your solo story progression, and a companion always fights at your side to help you through them. The story chapters unlock as you level: Journey I "Fallen Frontier" (stories unlock at levels 8–26), Journey II "Shadows Rise" (stories unlock at levels 30–48), Journey III "Broken Crown" (stories unlock at levels 52–70), Journey IV "The Awakening" (stories unlock at levels 72–76). Journey I and II are free for everyone; Journey III and IV are for Premium members only.

### How does gear progression work on Legacy 2?
Players craft B, A and S-grade weapons, armor and jewels at the town Blacksmiths at 100% success. Recipes are bought with Elemental Stones and used up by the craft, and every material has a source in the in-game World Database. New players get free gear up to C-grade from the free Journey stories, through D-grade and C-grade tickets exchanged in the Legacy Shop.

### When are castle sieges?
Sieges for Giran Castle and Goddard Castle run every two weeks on Sunday, from 20:00 to 22:00 CET. Clan registration closes 24 hours before, on Saturday at 20:00. Clans need level 3 to register.

### When is the Grand Olympiad?
Olympiad matches run every Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to 00:00 CET, registered from Giran or Aden. You need level 76+, Noblesse and your 3rd class on your main class. Every match gives Marks of Battle: 12 for a win, 7 for a loss. The cycle is monthly, and the Hero of each class is the player with the most points who played at least 10 matches and won at least once.

### What are the Grand Boss respawn times?
Queen Ant: 5 days, Core: 3 days, Orfen: 3 days, Zaken: 5 days, Baium: 7 days, Antharas: 12 days, Valakas: 12 days after death. Frintezza is an instance for a Command Channel of 18 to 300 players, with a weekly reset on Wednesday at 06:30 CET. Antharas, Valakas and Baium drop 3 times, the other Grand Bosses twice, and every world raid boss drops 3 times.

### Are there subclasses?
Yes. Every character can hold two subclasses. Level 75 on your current class is the only requirement, with no quest: add one at any Village Master. A subclass starts at level 40 and levels to 80. Bounty Hunter is a subclass for Dwarves only, and the Olympiad, Hero and Noblesse are for the main class.

### What are the PvP events and when do they run?
Four PvP events run three times a day for level 65 and up: Deathmatch, Red vs Blue, Conquest and Rosevain Stronghold. Everyone gets the same look, full buffs and a hidden name, so only skill decides. Deathmatch opens at 11:00, 18:30 and 23:30 CET, Red vs Blue at 11:45, 19:15 and 00:15, Conquest at 12:30, 20:30 and 01:00, and Rosevain Stronghold at 13:15, 21:15 and 01:45. Winners get the event's reward box by mail and every MVP earns 5 Legacy Coins.

### What are the Sanctum dungeons?
Monday to Thursday one Sanctum opens at 06:30 CET for 24 hours: Blue, Turquoise, Red and Gold. A party of 2 to 9 players, level 65 and up, enters its own instance and faces the Sanctum's guardian. Everyone inside gets 10 Legacy Coins and a one-day XP amulet, the guardian drops enchant scrolls up to S-grade, and the party shares 360 raid points. Each Sanctum can be entered once a week.

### How many game windows can I run?
Up to 2 game clients per PC. There is no limit per IP address, so players behind one connection, like an internet cafe, can all play.

### How do I start playing?
Create a free account on legacy2.eu and confirm your email. Then open your dashboard, create your game account and download the launcher when it becomes available.

### Is there a Refer a Friend reward?
Yes. When a friend you invited reaches level 65, you both receive 50 Legacy Coins in your website wallet, and you can send them to any of your characters by in-game mail. There is no limit on invites. Referrals from the same device or network do not count.

### Is Legacy 2 affiliated with NCSOFT?
No. Legacy 2 is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by NCSOFT. Lineage and Lineage II are registered trademarks of NCSOFT Corporation.

### How do I contact support?
Sign in and use the Contact Support form; you receive the answer by email and in your dashboard. For legal or privacy requests, email legacy2eu@proton.me.
