Jade Dynasty

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Jade Dynasty (also known as Zhu Xian; 诛仙) was a Free to Play MMORPG game created by Perfect World Entertainment. It is based on a Chinese Internet novel called Zhu Xian.

Jade Dynasty's plotline revolves around the conflict between six human factions called Jadeon, Skysong, Vim, Lupin, Modo and the Incense Mages, and their eventual goal of attaining immortality - which they have through a process dubbed "ascension", thus the name of the 2nd expansion, Ascension - and six factions from the Athan race, known to be demigods, Rayan, Arden, Celan, Balo, Forta and Voida that are trying to prevent the Humans from becoming too powerful. Human characters choose which faction to join at level 15 (there are 150 levels total.) while Athan characters chose the faction they wished to play at character creation. Each faction in Jade Dynasty has different skills, strengths, weaknesses and styles of play.

Characters could get items called Espers (Not to be confused with the other kind of espers, these are powerful items that provide a bonus skills and extra attributes to the owner. These attributes and skills can be increased both with special items or leveling up the esper. Every time the player uses an Esper skill, the Esper's proficiency increases by 1. When the Esper has enough proficiency, its level is increased, which empowers the bonuses that it grants. The Esper also changed its appearance every 10 levels and allowed the player to use a function known as "invigorate" (which is commonly known as a "bot", illegal in most MMORPGs, used to make the character automatically attack enemies.) After level 90 a character requires esper energy to bot, items such as Lunarshade stones provide this energy. Espers have different sections that allow the player to place Health and Mana potions in them and select how often the potions are used. There is also a section to add skills other than the Esper skill, allowing these to also be automatically used and another section to decide what items your esper picks for you.

The game was shut down in June 2018.
