Each Month in DBL the flow of the universe changes. This can cause a few things to happen:

The universe's life force dwindles: Gains drop to 60%, life skill exp increases by 20%
The universe rests: Gains go to 100%
The universe's life force beats: Gains jump to 140%


The death seal tightens: Reviving takes longer
The death seal rests: Reviving takes normal time
The death seal loosens: Reviving takes shorter, theres a portan in heaven and hell that open to return you to where you died, energy doesn't drain when the dead are outside the AL during this time


There is also a very small chance for one of two rare events to happen, super training where gains go to 200%, and mega training where gains go to 300%

There are 5 different world events that have a chance to trigger each month in DBL.

Boss Raid:
This is the most common event. You go up against one of many bosses with others on your team. You will do majorly reduced damage to team mates and the base damage amount will be set to 50 for your team and the boss. Swords, move damage multipliers, etc will be added on top of the 50. These bosses have increased difficulty in AI and specialized movesets that make for fun fights. If the team of players defeats the boss, the global gain will be changed to 150% for a period of time. You will get an activity gacha capsule, some BP, and zenni as a reward. The top contributor's reward will double.

Free For All (FFA):
Everyone vs everyone, test your character as is, no reductions, etc. Winner gets BP, zenni, and an activity gacha capsule.
———————————————
Last Man Standing(LMS):
The goal of this event is to run and survive. Zeno is out to get everyone and is super powerful. You can work together with others if you're nice or help Zeno eliminate them. Last man standing wins some BP, zenni, and an activity gacha capsule.
———————————————
Shark Hunt:
In this event everybody gets split into two teams, the fish and the sharks. The goal is for the sharks to bump the fish to disqualify them. The sharks have a speed disadvantage on the fish. There are power ups scattered around the map. Red arrows slow you down, yellow arrows are a slight speed boost, and green are a great speed boost. Black bombs make you stunned for a second while green bombs stun players of the other team if they are close enough. To win, the fish must have equal or more players left than the sharks after 3 minutes time. The winners get some BP, zenni, and an activity gacha capsule.

Zen Grab:
Zenni is flying everywhere, run into it to get it. Avoid the red ones because they take your zenni! After the event is over you also get an activity gacha capsule.

FACTIONS:
Factions are like organizations or groups. There are currently 3 factions in game. Each has a pre-built base with its own location somewhere on the map.

The Galactic Patrol, Space: x160, y440
Frieza Force, Space: x400, y200
Red Ribbon Army, On Earths Moon in Space: x100, y260

To join any of the factions you must go to their base and talk to the NPC leader. They will have some sort of quest or entry requirement for you to do to join.

PLANETARY / FACTION BASE OWNERSHIP:
On each main planet (Earth, Namek, Frost, Oasis) and each faction base there is a flag located on a 3×3 tile space. To take ownership of a planet or faction base you must be in a faction. You have to click the flag and then battle the spawned NPCs for 10 minutes while the flag is bein captured. This event is ment to be done with help, though it can be solod if you are well prepared. You have to stay within a range of the flag or else you will fail to capture the flag. If the 10min timer ends and you aren’t in range, or are KOd, you will fail.
After capturing the chosen area for your faction, it will show that your faction owns it in the world info tab which can be accessed by clicking the world state icon to the right of your health/etc.

GDP AND DEVELOPING PLANETS:
You will notice inside the world info tab that each area has a specified z amount next to it, starting at 0.1z. This is that planet/territory’s GDP (gross domestic product, or value as a whole), this is how much zenni everyone in the owner faction will gain per tick for owning that area. This amount can be increased by developing the area. So far you can develop the planet by farming or mining on it. The value only goes up a TINY amount but after a long period of time and teamwork you can start earning a decent amount of zenni through ownership. Be careful not to let other factions capture the flag if your faction has developed a planet because the amount will transfer over when they steal it and they will have gained all your factions hard work with it.

RECRUITMENT:
After owning a faction, the NPC by the flag will be able to teleport people to the faction’s base so that they can do the quest to join without having to get a spacepod or help traveling. The bases are in space but have oxygen so you do not need a mask unless you exit to the main space map. Keep this in mind when helping others join your faction.

RANKING UP:
There’s something called rank up points that you can see by talking to your faction leader NPC after joining. If you are qualified to rank up you will upon talking to them as well. There are currently 3 ways to obtain rank up points
-Capturing flags
-Participating in capturing a flag with someone else
-Killing an enemy from the opposing faction
Once you get enough points and rank up, you will get a new rank title which will show in the faction chat. You will also get a reward depending on which rank you obtained. You start at rank 9 after joining the application quest and work your way to rank 1.

Here is a list of the ranks and rewards:
