Mentor Mode

Mentor Mode automatically adjusts a stronger player’s combat strength when you are near lower-level members of your party. There is no switch to turn on. Your permanent level, skills and equipment are kept. Use /mentor or the party status to see whether it applies.

When it applies

With one nearby partner, both level requirements must be met.

Level requirement	Minimum
Gap above the partner	5 levels
Your level compared with the partner	1.5 times their level

With several partners, the game uses a group reference level weighted toward the lower-level members, rather than choosing only one member.

Presence rule	Value
Outdoors	Party member within 150m
Building or dungeon	Party member in the same room
Start delay	3 seconds nearby
After a member goes away	Counted for 30 seconds
A change during combat	Waits until combat ends, for at most 30 seconds
Leave the party	Mentoring ends immediately

Combat strength

The mentor fights at the group reference level plus 3 levels or plus 25%, whichever adds more, with rounding. Encounter generation uses the reference level plus 1. These are calculated examples for a single partner:

Your real level	Partner level	Mentored combat level	Encounter level
15	10	13	11
30	20	25	21
45	30	38	31

Progression feature	While mentoring
Trained skills and attributes	Temporarily reduced
Equipment strength	Reduced at the percentage shown by Mentor status
Firmament combat stars	Work at reduced strength
Specialisation powers	Work at reduced strength
Firmament crafting and trade stars	Work at full strength
Skills above 100	Their combat benefits use the reduced skill value
Incoming monster damage	Mentoring’s own multiplier is capped at 2×
Loot rarity level gate	Uses your real character level

See The Firmament and Specialisations for the individual bonuses. Other encounter modifiers still apply to incoming damage.

Skill progress

The lower-level player gains 20% more skill-use progress below 100 while a mentor is beside them. This does not speed up mastery above 100.

A mentor can still advance Master Skills. Combat practice is judged against the skill strength used in that fight, while advancement costs use the real skill value. See Master skills for the normal practice requirements.
