## **1. Arcane Symbol Overview**
* Arcane Symbols are special pieces of equipment that can be obtained in the regions of the Arcane River.
* Each Arcane Symbol provides your character's Main Stat and a certain amount of Arcane Power.
* Arcane Symbols are untradeable and cannot have Bonus Stats or Potentials.
* You can manage your Arcane Symbols by clicking the ‘SYMBOL’ button at the bottom of your Equipment window.
* In the Symbol window, the top section displays your total bonuses to Arcane Power and Main Stat, while the bottom section shows the level, EXP, and enhancement options for each individual Symbol.
* You cannot equip more than one of the same type of Arcane Symbol. To unequip a Symbol, simply double-click it.
## **2. Obtaining Arcane Symbols**
After completing the story quests for each Arcane River region, you can obtain Arcane Symbols through Daily Quests, special Arcane River content, and by hunting monsters.
* When hunting monsters, you will find Arcane Symbols specific to that region.
* Daily Quests are available from NPCs in each Arcane River region.
* Arcane River Special Content: This feature allows you to instantly complete Daily Quests for higher-level Arcane River regions once they become available.

※ What are Arcane River Daily Quests?
Completing these quests rewards you with both Arcane Symbols and EXP.
The EXP rewards for each region's Daily Quest can only be claimed once per day, per world.

## 3. Enhancing Arcane Symbol
* Double-clicking an Arcane Symbol in your inventory will cause it to be absorbed by the identical equipped Symbol, granting it EXP.
* Leveling up your Arcane Symbols grants higher amounts of Arcane Power and your Main Stat. The maximum level for an Arcane Symbol is 20.
* The number of Symbols and the NESO cost required for enhancement increase with the Symbol's level.
* You can continue to absorb duplicate Symbols to accumulate EXP, even if you do not immediately pay to complete the level-up enhancement.
## **4. Hunting in Arcane Power Fields**
* When you enter an Arcane Power hunting ground, a UI below the minimap will display your character's current Arcane Power versus the required amount for that area.
* If your Arcane Power is lower than the requirement, the damage you deal to monsters will be significantly reduced, and the damage you take from them will be increased.
| **Your Arcane Power vs. Required Amount** | **Damage Taken from Monsters** | **Damage Dealt to Monsters** |
