 In Ardeca, and other designated **Safety Zones**, no PVP combat is allowed at all, outside of consented duels. A duel is an agreed-upon challenge between to players to fight to the death. To challenge another player to a duel, select the **Duel** option from the menu under the arrow on the Target Window. The other player must accept within a few seconds, otherwise you cannot duel them. In Ardeca, and other designated **Safety Zones**, no PVP combat is allowed at all, outside of consented duels.

 Outside of Safety Zones, you can initiate a fight with anyone, though you must use the **Force Attack** function to do so. This is to keep players from attacking each other unintentionally,​ since many players prefer to live and let live. Outside of Safety Zones, you can initiate a fight with anyone, though you must use the **Force Attack** function to do so.

 Initiating PVP combat will **Flag** your character as an aggressor, temporarily changing the color of their displayed name from white to purple, as a warning to other players that you’re in the mood to mix it up. Your flag will go away a minute or so after PVP combat ends. Initiating PVP combat will **Flag** your character as an aggressor, temporarily changing the color of their displayed name from white to purple, as a warning to other players that you’re in the mood to mix it up.

 +There are two **channels** where these rules do not apply. In the **non-PK** channel, you are not allowed to attack other players under any circumstances. In the **PK** channel, you may attack players as normal, and you will not receive IP or become Niete for killing enemy players. In order to reward players for the heightened danger, the PK channel has increased experience gain and item drop rate.
 +====== IP and Jail ======

 Killing another player in a fight that you started will increase your **IP**, a point total that tracks how aggressive you are, and can be viewed under the Info tab of your Character Screen. Each aggressive kill increases your IP, with higher IP increases for repeatedly killing the same player character, or for killing a player character whose level is much lower than yours. Your IP naturally decreases by 3 every minute, and only while you are logged in. You can also decrease it by killing monsters, provided they are reasonably near your level. You remain in Niete status and your name will be displayed in red text, as long as you have a positive IP total. Killing another player in a fight that you started will increase your **IP**, a point total that tracks how aggressive you are, and can be viewed under the Info tab of your Character Screen.
