I have some questions about PK.
1.Example. In cube I have to hold ctrl, if I want to attack somebody(in some rooms or I'm attacked by some1). Do I have to hold ctrl if I'm completely in PK mode to attack some1?(white name) It's pretty annoying.
2. Can I loose my gear if somebody kill me when I'm in PK mode(white), or my gear will be just shattered and then I can repair it.

If I would loose some of my gear I would quit. Is there any option to avoid loose gear? Or they replaced loosing gear by shattered option recently.
So if I can loose my gear why there is then shattered option?
Or how is going everything together?
Ty.

    1) white name means you can attack and be attacked. You can turn off that shield that allows you to hit anyone else with certain precautions (ie if they're in faction, white named,)
    2) you can lose stuff in inventory when white named (or pink when you hit someone)

    You can lose the gear you wear if you're red name, the redder the name the higher the chance to drop. Also, shatter is for people who have bound equipment, those can still shatter, or if you play with safety lock which prevents dropping, but increases shatter rate.

    In summary, you can both drop and have gear shattered, but not typically when you are white named. Chances increase with red names.

    Perfect thanks. So if I'm white name. Not pink or red and some1 kill me I don't loose anything. But if I'm pink or red name and some1 kill me, I can loose gear or inventory items.
    So do I have to hold always ctrl when attacking?

    Below the minimap there is a button which allows you to set which targets are "ctrl-protected". I believe it's the same button which allows to go into PK mode - not sure though, I've played only on PvP server.

    I suggest to uncheck only "All", that way you won't have to hold ctrl when attacking red named players, you will still need to hold ctrl to attack white and pink named.

    When white named, you have 1% chance to loose something from inventory (happened only once to me, on a mob).

    When pink, you have 20% chance to lose something from inventory.

    When red you can lose your equipped stuff, the darker red the bigger chance.

    Ty. Inventory is not a problem. Problem is gear. That's what I'm afraid of. So if I'm white I have 1% chance to loose something from inventory but not gear right?

    Cube question was answered, as for dropping items, if you are white named you never will drop an equipped item. You do have a 1% chance to drop an inventory item as stated above.

    Note: when you are pink the following equipped items can drop:

    - Arrows, attack/defense charms.

    Also, as a precautionary measure if you have a good tomb I would bind it as I don't think there is solid info stating you can't drop them while white name. I'm almost certain they only drop while red but it would suck to drop a g7 tomb if that wasn't the case.

    To prevent dropping items you can, carry guardian scrolls, bind all of your equipment or set safety lock for 1 hour and log every hour. The last option could **** you over at one point if you aren't focusing on the lock and it deactivates.

    Ty.

    1. just check if ur white name pk is enable near minimap pk settings.

    normally if white name protection not on then simple click and attack dont need ctrl.
    2.a) u can use allways from inteory but have only 1% chance if u dont atack back
    b)u are white but attack back the droping chance increased but max only 1 slot(and max 20 item in that slot,example have 500herb then max 20 be droped from that slot) from inveotory can dropped out
    c)u are any kind of red then drop from equiped things 2


    notice: if u provocate somebody to hit back and u kill him u dont will be red
