Sorcerer
Wands and staffs. The strongest offensive spells, but fragile.
Druid
Wands and staffs. Healing and ice magic; a bit tougher than a sorcerer.
How the game works
Fighting and levels
Tap a monster and your character attacks it. Experience is shared by everyone who hit the monster, in proportion to the damage dealt. Every level makes you stronger and a little faster. Weapon skills grow with every hit made with that weapon type.
Loot
Monsters drop gold, materials and sometimes equipment, which you pick up by walking onto it. For 10 seconds the loot belongs to whoever dealt the most damage. Items come in six tiers, from Common to Mythic. Strong monsters can carry bonus loot that opens a loot window. See Items & loot.
Gathering, fishing and crafting
Chop trees, pick herbs, mine ore and fish, then craft weapons, armor, potions and dishes at workbenches, anvils, looms, cauldrons and campfires. Cooked fish gives temporary boosts. See Crafting.
Death and PvP
From level 20, death costs 10% of your experience and your backpack, unless you wear an Amulet of loss. Players of level 20+ in PvP mode can fight each other outside the town. Attacking a player gives you a skull for 15 minutes, which keeps you out of town.
