The first is to challenge a person to a duel by right-clicking the desired opponent and selecting the "Duel" option. This is the most common way and in the case of death, no experience points are lost. The second way is to fight a player from a different kingdom. This way does not require requesting a fight as kingdoms are preset to be hostile to each other. In the case of death, experience points can be lost. The third way is to activate the "free" option under the game play menu. This allows players to attack and be attacked by any player regardless of kingdom or consent. Experience can't be lost this way and rank points are lost when in this mode. If a player loses too many rank points, their rank will change to "cruel" and they will have negative points. At level 50 or above, cruel rank (title) players have a chance to drop items when killed by other blade soul gold players.
