• PK Points can also be decreased by killing any monster in Vulcanus.
• In Vulcanus, PK Points are deducted based on the monster's level which was killed (Monster Level / 2).
• Self-defense is enabled if your character is attacked first.
• While Self-defense is enabled, you may kill the player which attacked you without any penalty.
• Self-defense will expire 60 seconds after you were initially attacked.
