Luminance Augmentation

Return to Character

Introduced during the From Darkness, Light event. Luminance Augs, also known as Auras, let you improve (augment) your character in a similar way to XP Augmentations, but instead of experience they require luminance points.

Earning Luminance

Before you can earn Luminance, you must first complete Nalicana's Test.

Luminance points can be earned from:

• Luminance Creatures
• Luminance Quests
• Gem of Greater Luminance
• Gem of Lesser Luminance
• Society Gem of Lesser Luminance
• Handing in Blank Augmentation Gems to Nalicana (10,000 lps)

Sharing Luminance

Introduced in the The Risen Princess event, Luminance can now be shared in Fellowships. It's controlled under the same UI option as XP, but the share range is drastically shorter.

Luminance Seers

Luminance Auras or Luminance Augmentations as they are also known, can be earned by spending your luminance points with Nalicana at Asheron's Castle and one of the other four seers. You can only use one of these seers at a time. Choose carefully, as once you purchase an augmentation from one of the four, switching to another will result in the loss of both the luminance points and all augmentations from the previous Seer.

"The remaining four Seers are bitter rivals of one another. They do not relish teaching students who follow the guidance of another Seer. Though all the Seers accept (some begrudgingly) Nalicana’s hand in training, they will teach no student who carries the Aura of a rival Seer."

• Nalicana - Seer of the Yalaini.
• Shade of Lady Adja - Seer of the Light Falatacot.
• Ka'hiri - Seer of the Dark Falatacot.
• Liam of Gelid Seer of the Dericost.
• Lord Tyrager Seer of the Haebrean.
