Reawakening is a feature introduced in the PWI New Horizons expansion. Once your character has reached level 100, you will receive a Reawakening quest from General Summer in Archosaur. Reawakening (often called "rebirth" or "RB" by players) brings your character back to level 1, but grants additional attribute points, access to the Primal World, access to Boundary quests and more. Players can Reawaken two times.
Process and Requirements
In order to reawaken, your character has to be level 100 and have completed their level 89 Spiritual Cultivation quest (Aware of the Myriad or Aware of the Void). Follow the Reawakening quest from General Summer in southwest Archosaur. The quest will give you the item "Stone of Love·Restoration" to reawaken. The second Reawakening requires the Boundary of Arcane Sky VI to craft the item "Stone of Love·Recreation".
You will not lose your gear, skills, Cultivation or anything else. Quests will not reset, therefore any quests you have completed will not be available again. After reawakening you will receive a x4 EXP (first Reawakening) and x3.5 EXP (second Reawakening) multiplier for quests, EXP pills and monster kills. The Reawakening multiplier stacks with Hyper EXP Stones and x2 EXP events. The multiplier ends once your character is level 100 again.
Upon reawakening, your stats will reset but additional stats will be granted based on the level you were before. The levels of your past lives are commonly referred to as "historical levels". You can retroactively level your past lives through the Ancient Tome.
Attribute points given per historical level:
100 = 20
101 = 25
102 = 32
103 = 42
104 = 56
105 = 76
You can equip your gear as long as you meet the stat requirements, but a free set of starter gear will be given to you until you can equip your own. Ornaments and Rank gear with no stat requirements can be equipped from level 1. The gear's level requirements will be bypassed by your historical level. Venomancers can use their level 100 pets at level 60-65.
Preparations
- Turn any Bounty Hunter or other quests you have as they will just take up space in your quest log until you hit 100 again.
- Once you are reawakened you will not be able to wear high level helmet, cape, chest, leggings, wrists and boots but you can wear high level necklaces, belts and rings.
- Take a few days to stock up on any EXP items that you can use right at level 1 such as Tiger Event rewards, and Fantasy Fruits as it will help you level quickly early on so you can wear your level 100 gear sooner. <
- Venomancers will not be able to use their leveled pets until level 60-65 so so tame a temporary low level pet.
Ways to earn EXP after you reawaken
- Favorites include: EXP items at early levels; Phoenix Valley, daily quests such as Bounty Hunter, Divine Contract quests, Cube of Fate, Crazy Stone, Faction Base quests (level 90+), Morai (level 95+); Decomposing green Frostcovered City gear (level 80+) for oracles.
- The Reawakening quest chain is good for EXP and you get War Avatar card rewards.
- Do any leftover quest that you did not do on your first character leveling.
- Do all your Daily Quests.

Ancient Tome
Ancient Tome interface.
The Ancient Tome can be accessed from your character's stat window (press "C" in game) and it allows you to stash any EXP you gain into storage to retroactively level your past lives and receive your missing bonus attribute points.
Open your Ancient Tome. Awaken the Book Demon. When the Book holds enough EXP for your past life to advance a level, you click the brush stroke icon in the Ancient Tome next to the life record you wish to edit, and the Edit button will be available. After you've clicked Edit, the appropriate amount of EXP will be removed from the Book Demon's holding, and your past life will be leveled.
If you do not want your EXP stored in the Ancient Tome then make sure this is inactive. The character image in the Ancient Tome book will appear to be sleeping if it's inactive and your EXP will go toward leveling your character in the normal way.
