Classes

Eight classes share one world and fight it differently. Each starts with one ability, grows three branches of its own, and carries a class defense for the moment a fight turns against you.

You choose a class and a race when you create a hero. Your race is permanent. A registered account holds up to 8 heroes, so you can try another class later.

The six attributes

In the game, open Hero (C) and expand Attributes, then select one to see where its points come from.

Health, energy and growth

• Health starts at 42 + 8 × Vitality, before equipment.
• Energy starts at 42 + 8 × the average of your class’s two main attributes, rounded down, before equipment. The first is the attribute your class attacks with.
• Growth. Every attribute grows as you level, reaching 24 from growth alone at level 50, on top of your class and race bonuses. Class and race keep their differences to the end.
• Limits. An attribute reaches at most 29 before bonuses. Equipment, passive abilities and other effects add at most +11 to it together, and one item at most +6. No attribute goes above 40.

Points and ranks

• Points. Every level after the first gives 3 ability points: 147 by level 50.
• Ranks. Each ability has 5 ranks; the table below shows what each one costs. The tree shows the effect of your current rank and the next.
• Order. Fully upgrade an ability to unlock the next one in its branch. Save your points or split them between branches as you like.
• Permanent. Points you spend stay spent. Exploration skills have points of their own.

The Mage’s Frost branch is the exception: it has five abilities, and its first costs as much as a later one.

Your hotbar

Active abilities sit in 6 hotbar slots, used with keys 1–6 or by clicking or tapping them. Your starting ability begins in the first slot, and a newly learned active ability fills an empty one. To move or swap one, open Abilities (K) and select it. Your class defense is separate, on V.

Select any ability in the tree to read its range, area, strength, duration and timing at your rank.

Ready your next ability

Choose an ability while another is preparing, or in the last second of its cooldown, and your hero readies it to begin as soon as it can. Only one ability waits at a time; choosing another replaces it. Read how abilities work in combat.

Preview before you choose

On the play page, open Character & starting stats and choose Preview ability tree. You can switch between every class and look at each rank, its requirements and its cost, without spending anything or changing your hero.

Joining a faith

Visit a shrine. Lantern’s Rest has one, and so does every wilderness region; some cities have one too. Read it, or open Hero (C) → Race & faith → Faith while you stand beside it, to join, change or leave a faith, or to donate gold. You must be alive, not preparing an ability, and out of combat for 5 seconds.

Three blessings

• A gift that grows. Donations to your faith unlock its gift in three tiers, shown below as tier 1 / 2 / 3. The Hero panel calls them passive tiers.
• An equipment blessing. Each faith blesses one equipment slot. It works from the moment you join, while suitable gear is worn there.
• A champion blessing. Only the faith’s champion carries it: the member playing right now who has donated the most to that faith. When the champion leaves the game or changes faith, the blessing passes on.

Donations

Donated gold is spent for good. Before the first tier the gift is inactive, and it stops growing at the third.

Any donation makes you eligible to be champion. If two members have given the same, the one who reached that total first keeps it.

Changing faith

Each faith keeps its own total: changing faith neither refunds nor moves it, and returning restores your tier. Only your current faith’s blessings apply, and its quests in progress wait while you follow another.
