# Character Rename

Want a fresh name for your character? Here's how to buy and use a rename coupon.

## Buy the Coupon

Head to **Dewata Vending** and trade Dewata Coin for a **Character Name Change Coupon**.

| NPC            | Location         | Item                         | Cost           |
| -------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------- |
| Dewata Vending | prontera 142,177 | Character Name Change Coupon | 20 Dewata Coin |

## Use It

1. Use the **Character Name Change Coupon** from your inventory while logged into your character.
2. Log out (or return) to the **character-select screen**.
3. Click the **Rename** button on the character you want to rename.
4. Type the new name and confirm.

If it succeeds, your new name shows immediately on the character-select screen.

## Restrictions

The rename request is checked by the server, so a few things can block it:

| Situation                            | Result                                             |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| No Character Name Change Coupon used | Rename refused — buy one from Dewata Vending first |
| Name already taken                   | Refused — pick a different name                    |
| Character is in a guild              | Refused — leave the guild first                    |
| Character is in a party              | Refused — leave the party first                    |
| Name has invalid characters          | Refused — use letters/numbers only                 |

Once your rename goes through, the name change is permanent until you buy and use another Character Name Change Coupon.
