Favor of the gods and refunds.

I'm pretty new to GW, just been playing for three days, and I have two questions. What does having the favor of the gods do? I see it switching between Korea and America a lot but have no idea what it does. Also, after level 20 can you still get refund points? Like if I use all my refund points and am level 20, is it still possible for me to get more from XP even though I can't gain any levels? Thanks for your answers!

There is a place late in the game called Tombs. It is a series of random PvP matches. Once you win a random number of matches you will be taken to the Hall of Heroes. Whichever country wins Hall of Heroes 4 or 5 times in a row(can't remember which), will win the favor of the gods. The favor of the gods allows all players from your country to access one of the most difficult end game areas called Underworld for a fee of 1 platinum, by kneeling in front of the statue at Temple of Ages. Only the country currently holding the favor of the gods is allowed access into the Underworld. There are some very tough quests and good loot down there from what I hear.

To your second question, yes you will always accumulate refund points (1 for every 250 exp), so you can spend your points however you want and will always be able to change after level 20.

And also, you technically still do gain skill points from experiance after lvl 20. If you are lvl 20, your experience bar will still start out empty and slowly fill up and eventually you will "level up", but instead of getting all the bonuses, you just get a skill point and you stay at level 20.

Thanks for the responses! It's good to know that I can throw around my points recklessly without any fears

I know, isnt it awesome?

Well, you also need the favor of the gods to go to the fissure of woe; also located at the temple of ages.
