Duprian
Join at the Gens Duprian Steward in Lorencia — 144,127.
Vanert
Join at the Gens Vanert Steward in Noria — 167,100.
Joining and leaving
Reach level 50, speak to the steward and choose Join Gens. Confirm the final dialogue answer. You may belong to one family at a time. To leave, visit your own family's steward. Leaving clears your contribution and standing; joining again starts at zero. The current configuration permits guild and party members to join.
Contribution and combat
Vulcanus is the configured Gens battlefield. Defeating a member of the opposing family grants contribution and removes a smaller amount from the victim, never below zero. The base change is +5 / −3; level and rank differences adjust it, with a final range of 1–15 points. A repeated kill of the same victim within 30 seconds gives no additional contribution. Ordinary monster kills and battles outside the Gens battlefield do not grant Gens PvP points.
Use $message for family chat. Your contribution persists through reconnects and game-server changes.

Monthly ranking rewards
At the start of a new UTC month, the completed standings are captured. Eligible members need at least 10,000 contribution and a family position from 1 to 300. Collect the recorded reward from your own steward on days 1–7, UTC. Each recorded reward can be claimed once. Make room in your backpack before collecting; insufficient space keeps the reward available.
| Family position | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 | 30 Shining Jewellery Cases |
| 2–5 | 20 Shining Jewellery Cases |
| 6–10 | 20 Elegant Jewellery Cases |
| 11–30 | 10 Elegant Jewellery Cases |
| 31–50 | 10 Steel Jewellery Cases |
| 51–100 | 5 Steel Jewellery Cases |
| 101–200 | 5 Old Jewellery Cases |
| 201–300 | 3 Old Jewellery Cases |
The family and position recorded for the completed period determine the reward. Current contribution is not reset by monthly reward preparation.
