KUA PA BAP

As fate would have it, all the Roles in PW seem to have what players love to refer as buffs. Although being the Filipinos we are, who have to Filipinize all words on the planet, refer to it as "Baps" and adding the prefix "pa" to denote action. It is common to see lower level Roles chasing the higher levels denoted by their eldritch weapons and/or special steeds. Though not frequent in the safe zones of the cities. It is very prevalent in the wild and it is not uncommon to see players ignore monsters just to get close to another player to ask for a buff.

A buff you see, however mundane can spell the difference between success and a loss of XP due to death. Take for example the Yao Shou buff skill of Inspire. It adds a certain percentage of life over and above that of the character's. So what used to be 100 HP is now 110, all because of a single buff. And buffs do not easily go. Some buffs if not most, last 30 minutes when laid on. Again, more reason for the throng to flock towards the high levels. Others get buffed accidentally: you're standing around Ironsmith So So when the Yu Ling beside you decides to buff her teammates. She misses, Boom! You get buffed too. Nice! Of course it is only polite to say thank you for the buff.

But seriously, buffing anyone who asks for it really should be obliged by those who can buff. In the end, it makes Pangu a better place, and who knows, you might make a friend. Helping other players helps you too, it might be their attack that would divert that second Pirate Archer from making a pincushion of your Role's back. Remember that the next time you see "kua pa bap."
