The Path of Blood

After speaking with General Mars, Ryan selected the Path of Blood quest and received the quest item: a Radiant Retribution Army Insignia.

Delivering this insignia to the commanding general at Blood Gorge would activate the Honor system—allowing Ryan to earn honor points by defeating hostile players, which could be used to purchase honor gear later.

He spent a few quiet minutes sorting through his inventory with precision. Once inside Blood Gorge, bank access would be restricted, so he made sure to pack everything he might need.

Ryan held a distinct advantage over most players. His personal inventory had over a hundred slots, and he carried numerous enhancement items that shouldn't have been accessible at this stage of the game.

Among them were crude grenades—handmade using the schematics he'd acquired from the Engineering trainer back in Astral City. These weren't items players were meant to see for quite some time.
