## **1. What is Honor EXP?**
Honor EXP is a type of point that can be earned by hunting normal monsters, elite monsters, and boss monsters.
* When hunting normal or elite monsters, Honor EXP is earned randomly.
* When defeating boss monsters, Honor EXP is guaranteed.
## **2. How to Check Your Honor EXP**
* Press the shortcut key \[Default: S] key in-game to open your Character Stats window.
* You can view your current Honor EXP amount in the bottom-right corner under UNIQUE ABILITY – HONOR EXP.
## **3. What are Abilities?**
Your character has special hidden abilities.
Once you reach Lv. 50, you can unlock these abilities by completing the quest 'The Eye Opener' via the Star Event notifier. After completing the quest, you can check your character's abilities by pressing the “Details” button in the Character Stats window (shortcut key \[Default: S]).
The stats and values of abilities vary depending on the level of the ability, and they can be reset.
### **3.1. Resetting Abilities**
Abilities can be reset by using 100 points of Honor EXP. Stats that you do not wish to reset can be locked so that only unlocked stats will be reset. However, you must also lock the rank to lock the stats, and locking ranks and stats increases the Honor EXP required for the reset.
Ranks can be locked starting from Unique.
### **3.2. Abilities Presets**
* You can save up to three Ability Presets and switch between them as needed to get the best ability effects for different situations.
* Each preset operates independently and does not share ranks or stats with the others.
* Presets can only be changed from the Character Stats window, and cannot be switched mid-battle in maps such as boss fight areas.
## **4. Honor EXP Exchange Shop**
The Honor EXP Exchange Shop allows you to exchange Honor EXP for in-game items.
* You can access the shop after reaching Level 30 and completing the “About the Honor EXP Exchange Shop” quest via the Event Notifier.
* The shop is available through NPC Anolo located in each town.
* All items in the Honor EXP Shop are Local items.
* Your character’s current Honor EXP balance is displayed on the right side of the shop UI.
