  • For every 2,000 points you purchase via PayPal in a single transaction until the end of the month you will receive a Premium Costume Box from the Bonus Rewards NPC in Niflheim. This item is tradable and grants a Premium Costume, which is account bound. It grants a monster costume similar to the ones for the Halloween even but does not expire. The first time you set a random monster for the costume it is free and each additional random change is 1 point. You can also pick a specific monster of your choice for 10 points for official monsters or 100 points for custom monsters.
