Whoever initiates an attack receives the PK mark: skull on the HUD and red aura. Defending yourself from the aggressor does not automatically mark you as a victim.
Safe areas
A marked attacker cannot enter cities and safe areas, including the Refuge. The temporary mark of aggression remains for 30 seconds and is renewed according to the rules of combat.
Death as an aggressor
The risk of losing inventory and equipment is double the normal risk. With five blessings, the risk remains zero. Consult the blessing table before entering PvP.
