BLOODSHED / RUST Serin is a dangerous place and often bloody, and the holders of rare and unique items may find it even more so. A certain amount of time in Serin is necessary to keep these items from the rust storm known as the purge, which occurs as every Celestial (see TIME) passes to the next. The amount of time one needs to spend in Serin to keep such an item varies based on the rarity of the item, with unique items requiring the most time, followed by high end rare items, and so on. Those who shed the blood of others, specifically other players who are either more deadly or above the Blood Line or the most powerful mobs, will find it easier to meet this requirement. The amount of bloodshed can be seen in SCORE. It is possible to check if a rare or unique item is safe from the next purge using the LORE skill. See also: BLOODTYPE
