LIGHTHALZEN


Five hundred years ago, Zenit Zerter Lighthal, one of the leading scientists at the time, founded the Lighthal Laboratory. The research facility is set on a remote valley in the Schwartzwald Republic . Later on, when the Rekenber Corporation gained ownership of the facility, they bought all the nearby villages and began construction of the great city known today as Lighthalzen.The city-state of Lighthalzen is divided into two districts, the residential district on the south side of the city and the commercial district on the north side. The residential district's main attraction is the world-renowned Rekenber Hotel, located in the center of the district. The commercial district contains an airship landing strip, the Lighthalzen Bank, various trading posts, and the Alchemist Guild House. More importantly, it houses the Rekenber Corporation Headquarters.The Rekenber Corporation is the biggest corporation in the Schwartzwald Republic . It is undeniably the driving force behind Lighthalzen, having great influence and responsibility over the city. The Corporation has spearheaded numerous researches and technological breakthroughs for years. These include the development of the Strahlenstein steam engine, which is being used for numerous tasks all throughout Schwartzwald, and the Airship, which has become a major form of interregional transportation in Midgard. But one of their most famous and controversial work is their research on the secrets of life, which resulted in the development of the Guardians – Midgard's first artificial life forms - said to be much stronger than any human being.


HOMUNCULUS SYSTEM
Alchemist and Creators can create a Homunculus using the skill [Call Homunculus] . One Germination Breed is needed for this process. The type of Homunculus is decided upon its creation. There are four types of Homunculus: Lif, Amistr, Filir and Vanilmirth.To create a Germination Breed:Alchemists and Creators can create a Germination Breed with the skill [Pharmacy] . A Normal Potion Create Book is needed for this.
The materials for the creation of a Germination Breed are:1 Seed of Life1 Yggdrasilberry Dew1 Life Force PotStoring and Resummoning a Homunculus
Homunculi can be stored when its owner chooses to by using the Rest skill. However, a Homunculus must have more than 80% of its Max HP for its owner to use this skill. A Homunculus in Rest mode, or one that was killed in combat, can be resummoned using Call Homunculus without using up any Germination Breed.Eliminating a Homunculus A player's Homunculus can be permanently eliminated using the Delete button in the Homunculus Information Window. Once a Homunculus has been eliminated, it is not possible to summon it again. If the Alchemist uses the Call Homunculus skill after he has eliminated his current homunculus, he would summon a brand new one (back to Lv 1, plus the possibility that it's a different type of homunculus).


Leveling Up a Homunculus
Homunculi level up by gaining experience points from combat. The EXP gained by a homunculus in combat is as follows:EXP that the player gained by killing the monster x {(Damage that Homunculus dealt to the monster)/(Damage that the monster dealt to Homunculus + Damage that the monster dealt to the player)}Homunculus Commands

The homunculus will cancel all of its current actions and move beside the player. A Homunculus can also enter this mode by Right clicking on it and choosing [Standby] on the menu.MovementAlt + Right Click on a location: move to the chosen location. The homunculus will only move to a spot that is within 15 cells form its owner.Homunculus Information WindowAlt + R: This will open up the Homunculus Information Window.
