Player character classes

This game allows multi class characters; this means your character can be more than one class at a time. To try a different class, choose any of the desired classes available. From that point on experience earned will be added towards the newly selected class. Thus the newly selected class will start to grow instead of the previous class. The player is allowed to switch back and forth between the classes to train as many times as desired. Each class has a maximum level limitation of 500 levels for a total of 2,000 player character levels. When playing multiple classes the abilities of all other classes are active. For example if your character is a cleric and a wizard, while training the wizard class you still have the healing capabilities of your cleric. You may switch back and forth between character classes as often as you see fit. See below for more in-depth information.

When the player runs out of mana or has insufficient mana remaining, the player cannot cast that spell until he/she gets more mana. Mana is regained by resting. Only the Caster Classes gain mana regeneration rate increases at certain levels throughout the game.

How to Fight

Picking a foe and performing the fight sequence.

· Engaging in a fight: To engage in a fight press your character into the monster for each attempt to hit the creature.

· Coning system (opponent consideration): There will come a point where it doesn't seem like an even opponent is a challenge or it seems impossible. The goal was to make an even con monster impossible to kill naked, yet doable with comparable equipment for the characters level. There are some exceptions to this rule like under level 5 you can't afford any armor, therefore the an even con is a rather easy kill. The first 5 to 10 levels were specifically designed to be very easy while the player gets the hang of the game.

· If you are running away or the monster is taking back attacks the damage taken is reduced.

· If you stand toe to toe with a monster, it will stay and fight to the bitter end. However, if you attempt to run away eventually it will not be able to keep up, give up pursuit, and leave.

· The damage suffered by each hit of the monster is slightly reduced by a percentage of your equipped armor absorption factor. This is added on top of the AC effect of the item. This is calculated by Armors AC / 700 rounded down to the nearest whole number. 700 was chosen as roughly maximum amount of armor class one can achieve. This allows most gain per armor point while minimizing the potential of hitting the max absorption hard cap (No more than 98 percent of damage for a single hit). *Note: This number can be viewed in the lower section of the character info screen under armor statistics.

· Increased risk yields increased rewards. If a creature of equal level has greater stats hp's, AC, or Attack Rating he also has a chance of higher EXP for killing him.

· If "Increased risk yields increased rewards." the reverse is also true. Decreased challenge yields decreased rewards. If the monster is lower level than the player the exp and cash gained by killing it is drastically reduced to the point If the monsters is to low the player will gain nothing.

How to use spells

Notes on some rules for specific types of spells

· When a creature is under the effect of a duration spell, such as stun or reduced movement rate, the remaining duration can be viewed by inspecting the creature.

· When using any de-buff spell, such as Reduce level, the experience and cash reward remains at the same amount you would receive if the creature was still full level and strength.

· Negative movement rate spells. Monsters run on a 10 round cycle, therefore when a negative 2 to movement rate is cast on a monster he will skip movement 2 times in every 10 rounds. This spell will stack. However any damaging hit on the creature after the effect is applied will break the effect allowing the creature to move at normal speeds again.

· Using the Enchanter spell to reduce the opponents hit points cannot kill a creature. It can reduce the targets hit points to a maximum reduction of %75 of full.

· If knock-back spell is used and a solid object is behind the target, the target will not be knocked backwards. The solid object will stop his movement. Solid objects include other monsters, NPCs, shrubs, walls, etc. Also a monster cannot be knocked into a city area where they are normally not allowed.

· When a creature is stunned it cannot move or attack. Damaging the creature will break the stun. Casting this spell more than once on the same creature does not stack. The second stun spell causes damage, this damage breaks the stun and then the new stun is applied. An opponent under this effect can't de-spawn, fight, move, or do a “special” while stunned. “Specials” effected by the stun spell include regeneration and dodge your attacks. You will still take feedback damage for hitting a stunned opponent.

· Any attack on a creature involving a spell that requires you to target the creature (de-buff or damage) will reset the time the creature has to attempt a retreat.

· Casting more than one levitation spell is allowed. It will apply two coats of the spell. This will not change the height of the player or the duration of the levitation. When the last levitation spell wears off the player drops to the ground as usual.

How to Loot

Picking up equipment/Money

· Stat altering equipment can include:

Attack Rating: increase the odds to hit an opponent.

Damage: increase damage per each hit.

Armor class: The higher you’re AC the less likely it is an opponent will hit you. This also affects your absorption rate.

% absorption: a derivative of AC. this number is a percentage of the damage inflicted from each hit of an opponent that will be absorbed. For example, if a snake hits you for 100 damage and you have a %25 absorption rate, you will only take 75 damage.

Tracker: The ability to find an opponent (increased spawn rate).

Stealth: The ability to hide from wondering monsters (decreased spawn rate).

Feedback: damage inflicted back on opponent for hitting player.

Vampirical: Hit Points return to player for each hit with damage deal to opponent. *Note: This can not fill past max hit points of the character.

· You can only leave up to 30 items on the ground then the items will start to disappear as more is dropped. From first item dropped on the ground to last.

· When you hit 30 items on the ground the game will give you a warning that items will start to decay. You will not receive this warning again until you have picked up at least 4 items.

· Item level is not an exact level of the item. It is more of a way to reference its strength versus other items of its type. There are no restrictions to what a character can equip. For instance if a Level 1 can afford a level 20 item he can equip it.

· The numbers that appear on the equipped items screen indicate there is an item in that slot and It’s relative size by displaying the items level.

Item Stacking and splitting

Working with stackable items is very similar to other screen and forms in the game there are only a few places where stackable items can differ from non stackable items as outlined below:

· When viewing your Character Inventory, if you select a stack of items the [Equip Item] button will become a [Split Stack] button. This button will display a Number Selection screen that allows you to decide the stack split amount. Once the split amount is selected, the new stack will be added to the first open slot in your inventory. This functionality is not available while speaking with an NPC.

· When viewing the Selection Information about a stacked item, The in depth information screen will display value of the full stack, amount of items therein, and maximum amount of items that can be stacked.

· If you purchase, loot, or otherwise obtain a stackable item which is listed in your inventory, the item you pick up will automatically be added to the pre existing stack if there is room.

· You can stack items of the same type in your inventory by selecting the stack you wish to move, selecting the [Move item] button then selecting the stack of same type provided the stack you are adding to is not already full.

Trade Skills

Fishing

This trade skill is for fun and profit. A fisherman can earn great reward as they advance in skill. Per catch a master fisherman can earn over 15 platinum. Your can view your skill in fishing on the character statistics screen. Skill is rewarded a tenth of a point at a time. The Maximum skill that a fisherman can receive is 1,000. NOTE: Max fishing skill is 7 for the unregistered version of the game.

Fishing Equipment

Fishing requires specific equipment. To fish you must purchase a pole and bait, the fishing pole MUST be equipped in your weapon/hand slot with the bait in your inventory. Keep in mind bait can be lost and consumed while fishing, and although rare it is possible to break your fishing pole.

Both the quality of your bait and your fishing pole will affect the outcome of your fishing attempt in the following ways:

· Bait with higher quality will yield higher quality/value of fish, and take less time to catch the fish.

· A fishing pole with higher quality will take less time to catch a fish, increase the quality of fish that can be caught, and due to the better construction it will decrease the chance of pole breakage.

Performing fishing

To fish follow the following sequence:

· Purchase a fishing pole and bait.

· Equip the fishing pole in your characters weapon/hand slot.

· Leave the fishing bait in your inventory.

· Find a body of water (must be deep water, not shoreline) and tap it once with the stylus.

· You will be prompted to select the same region of water again, select the same region of water.

· The fishing process will then begin and a count down of time/round remaining to fishing attempt completion will display in the status window.

· Wait for completion. If you move before the fishing process completes you will break the attempt and have to start all over again.

Character Death, Saving and loading previous games

At any time in the game you can save from the file menu. It is recommended to save early and save often. Should you die without saving you will start over with a new character at level one. To start from a saved position, simply select the file menu and load the desired saved.

Turn Based

This game is a turn based game not a timed game. Nothing happens until the player does an action first. For instance: Suppose 4 monsters are on the screen and the player doesn't move. Then everything waits until the player makes a move. Only then are the monsters allowed to move also. Note: resting is considered a move but inspecting a tile or opening the file menu is not considered a move.

If, by chance, you happen to already have a trophy from the specified monster you may turn it in to the quest in place of finding a new one (a kill is a kill no matter when it is done).

Completing a quest

Once you have fulfilled all of requirements assigned by the quest giver, you may return to him/her and claim your reward. Note that a quest giver will not give you a reward unless you have proof of your deeds with you when you return to them. The quest giver will then take your proof in exchange for your reward.

Reward for a quest completion

You are awarded in both cash and experience for completing a quest. The amount of reward you receive is directly reflected by the difficulty of the challenge. In other words the harder it is to complete a mission the better the reward. The amount of experience rewarded is roughly half that acquired by killing the creatures in the first place. The cash is roughly double that which you would regularly get without the NPC's inflation rate. NOTE: This reward is in addition to the reward received for the original kill.

Flying creatures and player levitation

In certain circumstances the player and some creatures have the ability to fly. This section is dedicated to outlining the places where obstacle rules do not apply. Terrain obstacles that can be flown over by both player and creature include ground obstacles, NPC’s, and ground born opponents. While in flight monsters can not fly into protected cities but the player can.

Player on the ground versus flying creature

If the player is on the ground and flying creature attacks, the creature will come down close enough to the ground to fight so the player can fight back. In this situation the flying creature is usually tougher to hit than a grounded opponent due to positioning and the higher evade skill of winged opponents.

Player in the air versus creature on the ground

If the player is levitated the player can not attack creatures on the ground. Subsequently, creatures on the ground can not attack the player while the player is in air. While in the air moving onto the same tile as an opponent the player will fly over the top of that opponent.

Player in the air versus flying creature

When the player is levitated and the player comes across an airborne opponent a mid air melee combat can occur. If the player attempts to move onto the same tile as a flying creature this will result in a mid air player and opponent in melee combat.

Player in the air can not rest

While in flight the player can not perform the rest command to regain hit points and mana.

Casting spells in the air

While in flight the player can cast any spells desired.

Opponent death in air – note on loot

If an opponent is killed in the air, over a solid object, instead of dropping the loot directly where the creature used to be the game will attempt to find the nearest available tile.

Trophies

Trophies are items looted off of monsters slain in battle as proof of a victory. When any creature is slain there is a chance you will receive a trophy of your victory usually in the form of a body part that stands out as unique to that creature or was not to mangled to be discernable as to what creature is came from. These items can be sold at you local vendor for a cash value or you can hold on to them for use later. Some quests may ask for proof that a certain monster was killed you may turn in a monster trophy of a matching type at that time for an extra reward.

When not in a quest and slaying monsters, trophies can be found occasionally on slain foe. If however, you are currently assigned a quest and happen upon a creature that quest calls for a trophy will almost always be found on the creature. Some of the different trophy types are: Tooth, Fang, Claw, Head, Toe, Finger, Eye, Arm, Leg, Nose, Ear, Foot, Skin, Hide, and Jaw.

You can only hold a maximum of 50 trophies at any time. This number of 50 includes what trophies are in your inventory or in a pile of loot on the ground. When you have reached the limit you will be notified and no more trophies will appear in loot until there is substantial room.

Magical character enhancement (BUFFS)

Buffs are magical character enhancements that affect the player’s performance only while under the effect of the buff. The player is allowed a maximum of 8 buffs at any given time. Enhancements like heals that have a 0 duration and ones that do not effect character statistics like Town Portal do not count against the amount of current buffs and do not display an icon. When the character is under one of these effects an icon will display on the left side of the screen for each buff. You can find out more about the buff and manipulate it by clicking on its icon. For information on using the buff information screen see ‘Buff information/manipulation screen’.

MISC

Miscellaneous General Rules and Hints

· When the character enters a city region, monsters can not follow. Monsters can not reside in the city at all.

· You can hold a maximum of 100 items in your inventory.

· All regions, other than the base region, are dynamically generated.

· If auto rest is active: Pressing left, right, calendar, or notepad button the game can sometimes skips your request to stop resting. This can not be helped it is a flaw in the fundamental design of the palm OS not expecting the individual application to allow use of those keys. The best way to work around this is to hold the buttons down the until action is performed or long enough for action to register or click on the screen to stop resting. Using the on screen navigation window will not have this problem.
