Battle of the Immortals features an expansive pet system, a mount upgrade system, and five playable classes.
There are various quests in the game and most of them are titled to our level. Players are given experience and coins and in some cases items from these quests. These items can be armour, weapons, potions and other materials. The more quests that are completed the quicker a character will level up. Several Battle of the Immortals encounters and zones are based on player vs player combat. there are also sub divisions of quests which can be separated into different parts. some of them being <branch>, <scenario>, <within the day>, <instance>, and such. doing scenario quests will unlock different chapters which make up the foundation of the game, also the rewards from the scenario quests tend to be greater than that from an average quest.
Armor and weapons can be collected as drops from monsters ingame, as well as being purchased from other players who sell their wares. Each of the five classes have different abilities, so picking the right equipment is essental (a spellcaster will be considerably weakened by using a blade, and the same applies to melee fighters who use a staff.)
The game also features "Soul Gear", which has stats that are more powerful than any other gear at that level. Soul Gear is the best gear in the game to date, and when more than one piece of gear is equipped at one time it provides additional bonuses (more hp/mp, attack power, etc. to help your class). The soul gear system in the game allows for the user to purchase an item that will upgrade the soul gear as it is to the next level gear, allowing transfer of almost all stats (blessing and soul insignias excluded). This helps the player avoid expensive costs of having to remove all the stats in their previous gear and having to redo every piece of armor each time they hit a level gap.
Soul gear is obtained by either doing instanced events (level 45 gear in Dragon Emperor, level 60 gear at Spector Island, level 75 at Giza Temple, 90 at Lava Heights, and 100 Doing Pit of Reckoning. In the recently released 'Titan Update', the new level 115 soul gear is obtain by doing the Titan's Trial.) Primal Gear is also newly introducted, giving soul gear-like properties with additional combat-related benefits (more damage per attack or higher defense.)
In addition to the Soul Gear system, Battle of the Immortals has extensive weapon and armor upgrade systems which includes Fortification, Gem Embedding, Stardust and Starwords Combination, Gear Blessing, and Soul Insignia Charm. Lastly, the armors can be enhanced with "glow effects" in game.[3]
There is also soul gear armour which can be retrieved from doing instances such as Dragon Emperor (in dragon emperors catacomb to get lvl 45 soul gear) and Specter Island (in bermuda islands to get lvl 60 soul gear) etc.
The game features a Cash Shop in which players may purchase in-game items with Zen, which in turn is purchased with real-life currency[4]. Players who do not wish to spend real life money, may as well purchase Zen from other players with in-game currency. The price for Zen purchased by a person using in-game currency fluxuates on the server market, going up and down as typical markets would do. The range of gold to purchase ZEN is 1-999,999 (cheapest to max amount)
Items included in the cash shop can either be used as cosmetic (used to change the look of your avatar), upgrades (gems to help improve your gear or pets, and functionality (warcries, which can shout to everyone who is logged into the game server at the time.)
