Aeria, the only version to have the Spectre Protector, released it in a permanent and tradable form. It was first available on December 19, 2008 through a spender promotion and was awarded to the top 30 spenders. On January 9, 2009 it was available for purchase directly from the web Item Mall. The pet, a project of a Softstar programmer, was still in development and had a level cap of 50. Skills and weapons for the Spectre Protector could only be purchased through the web Item Mall. With the March 4, 2009 update, the Spectre Protector was unable to learn new skills.
