Itembar

Aquiring Loot

Enemies may or may not drop items, which appear as chests. Loot can also be purchased from Merchants, through trade with other players, or given out as a reward by quest giving npcs

Spoils of war

Items dropped by enemy npcs may be acquired either by clicking on the chest or by the Loot control, in which the items will be acquired automatically.

You may learn professions to create or gather your own items! These skills are leveled up through repeated works. In other words, to raise your fishing level, for example, you must continue to catch more fish. When you cannot level up anymore, you must continue to fish in higher-level areas.

Spellbook

The Spellbook are where your abilities come from. As you level up, you will gain access to new abilities and ranks. You will have to learn them manually as each new ability/rank has a cost. You can access the spellbook through Manage > Spellbook.

To add a new ability, click on the ability from the spellbook, you can then drag and place it on the desired spellbar spot.

To remove the ability, click on the ability from the hot bar and then click anywhere outside the spellbar.

Training

The only way you can increase your stats is to equip higher level gear or through the training screen.

You can access Training through Activities > Training

• Every 2 minutes you regenerate 10/20 energy (depending on exalted player status)
  • Energy caps at 100 energy and is used to upgrade your attributes
• Every class has a set of attributes that increase their effectiveness in battle.
• Points can be earned daily through Daily Quests, Vote for Rewards, and Tomb Raiding.
  • Both Vote for Rewards and Tomb Raiding can be accessed through Activities as well.

Training increases your base attribute number, while gear multiplies those attributes by a percentage. So if you have 1000 stamina and a Chest with a 10% stamina boost, your total stamina will be increased to 1100.

These attributes, in turn, increase your stats, which also work based on a multiplier. You can learn more through Classes

Talents

Each Class also has their own Talent tree, which allow you to further upgrade your character. You start with 1 point and gain 1 more every ten levels. There are also quests that may award you with talent points as well, so be sure to complete those.

You can reset your talents for free the first time, but every subsequent reset adds an extra 5 point cost which stack additively. So your 3rd reset, for example, would cost 10 points (first reset is free). So be mindful of what talents you want.

Talents

Pets

At a certain point, you will be able to purchase pets from an npc. You can choose between 3 different pets, but they all more or less function the same. Pets can help fight with you in battle.
