What is Arena of Manes?

It's a chaotic survival event where only the strongest warriors can triumph and everyone is one and equal. You level up through PvE and PvP, pick your own skills and collect points. In game it is called "Manes' Survival"; that is also the title of the ranking window.

It is a rotating event: it has no fixed calendar and runs for set periods. The latest run was announced on 15 October 2026. The Manes' Orbs you win are deleted when the event ends, so exchange them before the period is over.

How do you enter Arena of Manes?

  1. Twice a day, at 16:00 and 21:20 Turkey time, an entry window appears on your screen and stays open for 10 minutes. Press "Apply".
  2. Each room takes at least 4 and at most 80 players, 240 per server in total. Once it is full the game turns you away with "Maximum number of people has been exceeded".
  3. A second application from the same IP is refused; the game shows "Duplicate IP is detected".
  4. Inside you buy potions with Noah, so carry Noah on your character before you go in.

Map and bosses

The map is new and crowded. Monsters are laid out from the outer areas to the inner ones as low, medium and high level. The inner areas also hold the low-level bosses Gabol, Scpri, Byzo and Skelc. You can follow the bosses on the minimap.

The castle at the very centre of the map holds four medium-level and four high-level bosses plus one Dark Dragon. Killing a boss gives your character a random passive skill; the in-game tip also says you get passives from mid-bosses.

The player who kills the Dark Dragon is taken out of the ranking and gets the first prize regardless of score. The event status window shows the Dark Dragon's health, the timers and your score.

Skill picks

  • Every time you level up by killing monsters, a selection screen opens. You can take one of the random skills at the top and both the HP and MP potions at the bottom.
  • In the arena you can only use skills from this screen. There are no class restrictions; everyone builds whatever set they like.
  • There are two kinds of skills, active and passive, and both have levels. Their effect changes with the level.
  • You cannot pick a lower level of an active skill you already have.
  • A chosen active skill goes onto your skill bar automatically; you can move skills between your bars as you like.
  • Passives stack: ATK 10% + ATK 5% = ATK 15%. A separate bar opens so you can track your passives.
  • The selection screen only comes up a limited number of times. Don't skip buying potions there; surviving inside is hard.
  • Now and then the game says "Manes has provided you a chance to select an additional higher level skill" and lets you pick an extra, higher-level skill.

Score and ranking

  • Open the ranking window with the ALT key. It shows rank, nation, kill count, clan, character name and score.
  • Killing someone ranked above you gives more score; killing someone ranked below you gives less than usual.
