Potency

A recent addition to the Conquer Online gameplay is the system of "Potency". This system assigns each player a number which is calculated from various factors. The level of the character, how many times they have done the "rebirth" process and the general overall quality of their equipment all relate to this score. [10]
Potency gives many advantages to the player holding it. One advantage is that the damage received from attacking players is reduced and capped and attacks against players with lower potency will cause more damage. Another advantage is an increased gain in experience points from mobs that provide it.
