PvP and Abyss Points[]
Abyss Points are not only earned, but can also be lost when defeated by an opposing faction player. Defeating a higher ranked enemy yields more Abyss Points than killing a lower ranked opponent. For example, killing a Level 46 Abyss Rank 1 player will result in more AP than killing a Level 46 Abyss Rank 7 opponent. Similarly, being killed by a higher Abyss Rank opponent will result in a greater loss of your AP.

The Abyss Points earned can be viewed in the Abyss Tab of the Profile. Your current Abyss Rank will be displayed along with the required points to achieve the next rank.
