Located at Korin Camp is this huge tower, which extends high above the clouds.
It will take you at least 10 posts to climb Korin's Tower, but you can take 1 off for each star you have to represent your heightened abilities.
Once at the top... you will finally meet the legendary Master Korin!
If you are good of heart (positive Karma) he will train you, and make you try to steal his 'Holy Water' from him.
To be honest, though, the Holy Water is just tap water, which he'll tell you once you drink it. The whole idea is that you get stronger trying to take the water...
-Climbing the tower raises your endurance
-Chasing Korin raises your speed
-Trying to actually catch Korin improves your reflexes and ability to predict movements
You will need at least 4's to even hope of catching Korin and taking his water.
Once you're strong enough to take the challenge, it'll take you at least 30 posts to catch him. Message an Admin when you finally catch him, and you'll get 60 posts for all your hard work (representing how all your abilities went up as mentioned earlier)!
You can only get this boost once, however.
By the way, if you don't have the 4's needed, you can still try catching Korin purely as something to write about. It's only the posts after your fourth star that count toward your 30.
One last thing... Korin can read your mind.
Yep. But only if you're quiet... he can't hear your thoughts if you're making a racket with your voice.
Ultra Divine Water
If you want to try the 'real' Holy Water, after you've caught Korin, you only need to ask.
If you have at least +50 Karma, Korin will open a pot in one of the rooms in the tower, and tell you to get in it.
The pot will transport you to an icy cave in an unknown location to the north...

Senzu Beans
Korin will give each character with zero or positive karma a senzu pouch, if they wish to have a senzu bean.
But to actually get a senzu bean is a different story...
You must go to Earth's Lakes, Rivers, and Oceans, and fish for a Red Snapper.
It takes 10 posts to find and catch one.
Give Korin the Red Snapper (and it has to be freshly caught, too), and he will reward you with a senzu bean.
If you already have a senzu, he won't give you another. He has to keep enough for everybody.
In other words, you can only have 1 senzu bean with you at any time.
Korin isn't always so strict, though... if you bring another character here who's badly wounded and in need of urgent medical attention, he'll feed them a senzu for free.
As if you didn't know, senzu beans fully recover all your ki/energy and heal your body.
You can even split them in two to eat half at a time (for half the effects, of course).
Senzu beans do not recover the usages of any 'limited use' techniques (eg: 1 use per battle) or desperation attacks, however.
Flying Nimbus
If your character is 'Good' in alignment, you can get one of these yellow fluffy flying clouds from Korin.
You're able to ride a nimbus as long as you think ABSOLUTELY NO BAD THOUGHTS.
Not even for a moment are you allowed to think of anything even slightly impure, or else you fall. Remain 100% good and you'll be fine.
If your character is 'Neutral' in alignment, you can get one of these grey fluffy flying clouds from Korin.
You're able to ride a nimbus as long as you think ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD OR BAD THOUGHTS.
Not even for a moment are you allowed to think of anything even slightly impure or pure, or else you fall. Remain 100% neutral and you'll be fine.
The Lookout
If you have positive karma, Korin will let you use his Power Pole to get to the Lookout, if you'd like.
Climb on top of his tower, and place the pole in a slot for a perfect fit.
Hold tight, and command the Power Pole to extend!
On the way up, you will be attacked by storm clouds... unless you have at least 6's you will be too weak to withstand the lightning and loose your grip.
If you're strong enough to keep hold, you'll go all the way to the Lookout!
