In Phoenix Dynasty Online, the five elements system influences every aspect of the game: your characters, mobs, skills, item crafting, magic points, PVP etc.

Not only is a player effected by the major/minor element chosen as a skill set but also what elements the players has equipped. One player secret is to adjust your equipment to assist in fighting certain elements.

Take PVP for instance, a water player will find a duel against players of Fire attribute at same level an easy task because Water is destructive to Fire; but a water player needs to stay away from earth players as much as possible because Earth is destructive to Water.

As you can see, if you wisely utilize the Five Element strategy in game, you will soon outfight deadly monsters; outwit cunning PVP enemies and find great advantages when exploring the game! You don’t need to worry about the balance of the PVP in game, because there is no such thing as "Most Powerful Element" or "Best Element" but the "Most Skilled player"!

You can only get the most powerful equipment from crafting, refining and strengthening. You can learn a crafting skill among blacksmithing, leatherworking, jewel crafting and armor crafting. You can collect different materials from mobs. Then according to the Five Elements theory you can start to make your own shining equipment. You can also set up crafting booth to increase your crafting proficiency as well as to help other players and make money.

PVP is always the most challenging and funniest aspect in current MMORPGs. As we have mentioned before that you need to use Five Element strategy to have advantages in PVP, let’s now take a look at a larger scale of the PVP in game: Bayer Wars. Bayer Wars are the Guild/States Wars since in that time period, war took place on a battlefield called Bayer.

Introduce the Bayer Battlefield! Here Guild War breaks out over the weekends (from Friday to Sunday in three separate battles).Every guild of the four states goes to war with a passionate belief: they can dominate this continent! In the three days’ duration, heroes of different guilds will pit against each other for the dominance over nine cities and prove which the strongest guild is!

The winner guild will be honored as "Castellan Guild", whose members will enjoy substantial benefits, including levying taxes, buying an exclusive mount - battle elephant, and enhanced character attributes. Most particularly, the fame of Bayer Master that sends chill to the spines of their fallen rivals.

What is a game without quests to test the ability of you and your friends for prizes and rewards? The Dungeon System in the game will let you or your raiding group of friends (up to nine) fight through trails in an instance of the Dungeon. With considerably increased difficulty, it is more perilous than the non-instance Dungeon and in return rewards are more profitable and loots more desirable. It should be noted that a dungeon is a special area that generates a new instance of the dungeon map for each group that enters the area. So no two groups will compete with each other or have to worry about kill stealing the same monster in an instance dungeon.

There are many kinds of artifacts in Phoenix Dynasty. Some of them can be obtained from the world at large while others are created artificially. Artifacts will provide your additional attributes such as higher critical hit rate, more HP or HP cap, and immunity to movement-impairing effects in a few seconds. Some of attributes, which are extremely helpful in guild wars and top raids, can be only acquired through artifacts.

In Phoenix Dynasty, use a formula when creating an item will enhance its capability and make it incomparably outstanding. Different types of items, armor, weapon and accessory, have their exclusive formula and some formula are confined to certain class. The enhanced capability can be stacked with the effects of gems, item strengthening and refining.
