Here's 2 walkthroughs to get you into the game, geared up, and ready to roll.

The first is for those who just wanna dive right in and learn what's happening later, the second for those who like to know what they're doing.

Here are some very general pages for entirely new players who want more info on what type of game this is:

=Equipment Sales & Pricing=

I run Aen the sales bot and sell gear for myself and anyone who knows me.

AEN: The most trusted name in bot sales & service! Over $84 TRILLION in satisfied sales!

A few notes on Aen:
*Sellers set their own prices. Some price high, some price low, its up to them.
*I collect a 2% tax on every sale, with a cap of 10m. All proceeds go to my order to fund potion stocking.
**I make no personal gold from selling other people's gear. When I sell my own gear, I still pay the tax to the order on it.

I log as much data as possible in an effort to document actual prices for gear, which players can refer to:

[[2021 Shop Log]]
[[2022 Shop Log]]
[[2023 Shop Log]]
[[2024 Shop Log]]

Prestige Info

2026-03-04T01:48:22Z

Admin: /* Prestige Types */

The prestige option allows you to relevel your character and acquire some gains based on your class (or multiclass).

=Prestige Types=

There are two types of prestige characters. Some classes can multi-class with another, some can only upgrade at their existing class.

*These "classic" classes can become multi-class with one another (only) (i.e. Cleric-Druid, or Mage-Thief, etc)
**Your original class will be your "primary class" while your added class we will call your "secondary class".
***Cleric
***Druid
***Mage
***Thief
***Warrior

*These classes just become upgraded. They get a new fancy name and greater powers in their own class. (they cannot multi-class).
**Augurer --> Harbinger
**Fathomer --> Buccaneer
**Nephandi --> Infernalist
**Paladin --> Knight
**Ranger --> Hunter
**Vampire --> Dread Vampire

*'''Current Distribution of Prestige Characters:''' Here is what people have chosen as of March 2026:

[[Image:Prestige 2026.PNG]]

==Race Restrictions==
*For the multi-class type, race restrictions still apply. Meaning if your race cannot be a Thief, then you cannot multi as a X-Thief.
**For example, a Half-Ogre Thief cannot become a Thi-Mag/Dru/Cle because Half-Ogres simply cannot be those classes. He could only become Thi-War

Below is a table of which races can be which classes. This is slightly confusing, so for clarity there is more information on [[Prestige Info Tables]] for each specific multi-class option.

{| class="wikitable"
|+style="text-align: center" | Possible race/class combinations:

|}

=Equipment=
*For multi-class prestige:
**The primary class determines what equipment you can wear. If you're a Thi-Mag, you have to wear Thief/Rogue compatible eq. Not Mage stuff.

Items made specifically for prestige chars of various classes/multi-classes will be introduced to the game at "some point".

(There's a few items I know about currently, so there are probably more out there already)

Look for this to be fully implemented soon, circa 2065!

=Bonuses=

Prestige characters get several bonuses, including a max stat increase, hp/mana/moves increases, and skills/spells increases. Some get brand new skills/spells, and some have increased speed/wait-time or damage of their existing skills/spells.

==Stat Bonus==
*For single-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the maximum value of your prime stat, so it can now reach 26:
Dread Vampire: 26 Dex
Buccaneer: 26 Dex
Knight: 26 Str
Hunter: 26 Str
Harbinger: 26 Lck
Infernalist: 26 Int

*For multi-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the max of the prime stat of the secondary class.
**For example, a Thi-War: Str is the Warrior's prime stat. So Thi-War can have 21 Str.
**For example, a Mag-Thi: Dex is the Thief's prime stat. So Mag-Thi can have 21 Dex.

'''Secondary Class''' '''Increased max stat on the prestige character:'''
Thief: Dex
Warrior: Str
Mage: Int
Cleric: Wis
Druid: Wis

Higher stats do have concrete advantages, though not all of these are obvious to detect. Here are some known quantities:
*26 Dex = Impossible to fumble potions.
*+1 Str = Additional 100 lbs carry capacity (max 1100 at 26 Str).
*+1 Str = Rangers 'gash' attach is STR+WIS based, and hits much harder with 26 Str.
*26 Int = Grasp was Int based, and was brutal at 26 int. Got nerfed. (news 1149)
*26 Wis = Dorn was Wis based, and this was fucking ammazzzzing. Got nerfed. (news 1171)

Here's a full table of the possible max stats, with the bonus stat from the secondary class in bold, and noted. Note that some influence the primary class's prime/secondary/deficient stats, which can be interesting to think about.

The Dru-Cle or Cle-Dru combination is the ONLY one that causes the prime stat to go up to 26.

==HP Bonus==

Upon having an Immortal prestige you, you will be back at level 1. They will auto-level you to 5.

*Prestige characters have their starting hp at level 1 doubled compared to normal new chars of that race/class.
**The equation is: (20 +/- {race/class modifiers}) x 2 = starting hp at level 1.
*You will then receive 4 automatic levels with all of your stats being maxed by the immortal's prestige command.

This leaves you at Level 5 with a higher base than a standard level 5 character.

(No bonuses to starting mana or movement outside of racial modifiers.)

===HP Gains per Level===

Gains for multi-class characters are based on primary class, not affected by secondary.

While prestige leveling, your class's min hp gain is +1 from usual, and your max hp gain is +2 from usual.

For example, if a given class has a standard min hp gain of 13 and max of 18 each level, prestige leveling that class would see hp gains between 14 and 20.

===Total HP Gains===

My rule of thumb is that you basically get between 4-6 "Free" additional levels worth of hp gains. I usually hit my "old base" around level 44/45. So, whatever I gain after that between 45-50 is additional prestige bonus hp. If you use a generic average hp gain of 15, that's 75 hp. It can of course be significantly more/less depending on race/class and dumb luck.

Here is a list of some actual data points. I apologize for the lack of pre-prestige values in some cases.

=== Multi-class bonuses ===

For multi-class prestige, the bonuses are simply that you can learn skills/spells from your secondary class.

*Skills/Spells from the primary class are auto-adepted each level to full. You do NOT need to "re-learn" those.
*Skills/Spells from the secondary class must be adepted as per usual (and take longer than usual)

*There is a list of multi-class accessible skills/spells in 'help prestige4'.
**If the secondary class would typically learn one of those, you will learn it on your prestige multi-class.
***For example, if you're a Warrior, and you multi with a Cleric, Clerics learn 'sanctuary', and its on the list, so you can learn sanctuary.

*Multi Skills/Spells learned thanks to your secondary class have a max adept percentage at 80% of the secondary class's native adept percentage.
**For example, a War-Cleric will get sanctuary. Cleric's learn sanc to 95%. War-Cle will learn it to (95 x .80) = 76%
*If BOTH classes have a skill or spell, whichever class has the higher percentage 'wins', and that value is the new limit for that skill or spell.
**For example, Clerics usually adept rescue to 20%, while Druids adept rescue at 95%. A Cleric-Druid's rescue will adept to 95%.

*Mage path spells, and Cleric pantheon spells, are not included for prestigers.
**Cleric align-based spells DO still apply. You learn both heal & necromantic touch, but your ability to cast each is based on your align dev/evil.

*Mage-X prestige's get a special perk of increased self-stat-buff spells. They're +6 instead of the usual +3.

===Multi-Class Skills/Spells Table===
Here's a table showing what you learn from multi'ing with each Class, and to what percentage adeptness that class adepts that.

(Remember you will only get 80% of the listed adeptness, unless you also share that skill, in which case you just get whichever is the higher value)

This is just a quick overview, to see EXACTLY what 'you get' please see [[Prestige Info Tables]]

=Damage Comparisons=

I have a lot of data on different attack values, however I don't have a lot of comparison between prestige vs. non-prestige unfortunately (it's basically all prestige data). The one comparison I have however is on Ranger/Hunter Gash, which displays the advantage of the increased relevant stat to the gash attack (Gash is based on Wis+Str. Hunters have 26 Str). This is based on testing about 100 Gash's in the arena PvP, damage values may differ vs. Mobs.

|}

In general, all attacks are simply better. If not, defenses are better, allowing for less healing and more frequent attacks.

In practice, 2 Dreads can kill things 2 Vamps struggle much more to kill, etc.

Attack/wait-time speeds are decreased for some attacks/classes so even if the attack isn't necessarily stronger you are launching more of them more frequently. The Harbingers being able to launch 17 spirals before Coil of Flame expires compared to a regular Aug's 13 spirals is a nice gain. Plus, since Spiral damage is HP based, your increased prestige HP base will raise that level as well. More damage per hit and more hits overall: Double Whammy.

=Leveling Tips=

Leveling a prestige character fucking blows:

*MUST be ip-1 game-wide while leveling or drastically reduced xp.
*XP needed per level is jacked way way way up
*XP gain pet hit is jacked way way way down. About 1/7th the usual rate of xp gain per hit.
*Your kill buffer filling up with too many kills of a mob will drop xp down 0, entirely 0 xp per hit or kill.

Advice:

*Get a fucking life and quit this bullshit game.
*Be ip1. Clear your kill buffer every level to start, then twice per level, and by the end after every 'round' of mobs you go and kill.
**I may be paranoid, but I clear it with 25 UNIQUE mobs.
*Melee damage gains far more xp than the other attacks/spells. Just sit there, do nothing, and heal as needed.
**Max your HR as much as possible to land as many melee hits as possible.
**Max your DR as much as possible to land as much damage per melee hit as possible.
**This applies to non-prestige leveling too btw, but really needs to be followed for prestige leveling.
*Classes that get enhanced damage and 2nd/3rd/4th attack early on go much faster than those that do not.
*Finding all the lowbie quests that give xp rewards is helpful (Town Hall, etc)

Grind your face off.

So far for me Knight and Hunter were the fastest. Dread sucks at first but then speeds up. Thief-Warrior is by far the worst. Absolutely awful the entire time start to finish.

== How to Prestige ==

===Glory & Gold Cost===
See help prestige3.

In my mind, it usually behooves you to get as much glory as your patience can stand. The minimum 300/2bil price tag is both expensive in gold and also leaves you with a tiny 300 glory to play with, which you can't do all that much with. In my mind, I have no rush to prestige stuff usually, and would rather have at least 750 glory to play with. Once in a blue moon I'll blow the 2bil and do it at 300 glory, but, I likely have more gold than newer players and can do that.

If you are struggling with the gold cost, just keep glorying. Gold is stupid anyways. If you do need help getting SOME gold, my advice is to find 2/3 buddies and figure out a run for a decent item, then farm it, stockpile loot, and sell the shit out of it. Farming Mithril Hall or CD is way slower. There's solo things you can do if you have the means, farming edo dragon teeth and selling amulets is quite lucrative. I should write a page on profitable things for newbs to run.

===Scrippe===

If you have the required glory and gold, go to Queen Mordrineagh Ni Riain in the Castle of Rol Na Feinne.

'''Zmud/Tintin:''' #6 s;ne;s;s;se;e;e;s;sw;sw;s;#5 sw;nw;#5 n;ne;n;e;n;ne;n;n;say entry;n;u;u;open west;w
'''Mush:''' #6s (ne) 2s (se) 2e s 2(sw) s 5(sw) (nw) 5n (ne) n e n (ne) 2n (say entry) n 2u (open west) w

In her room, execute the command '''prestige'''. She will provide you a scrippe with your name and the word "prestige" embossed.

Note: She will not verify if your character is already prestiged. Reimbursements will not be made for opportunities purchased if you are already prestige or multi-class.

After you have obtained that scrippe, and once you are ready to pull the trigger '''remove all your gear and empty your inventory''' and it may be wise to '''eat and drink (and maybe rest for a tick)''' so that you are in perfect health before being auto-leveled to level 5, as mental state and hunger and god knows what else may impact the auto-leveled hp gains.

Finally, contact a level 60 imm and tell them you'd like to prestige your character.

=Closing Thoughts & Opinions=

Any prestige character is significantly "better" than the non-prestige version. In my experience, the little things do matter.

*Increasing stats by 1 does make a big difference. Having 26 of a stat makes whatever that is super good. 26 dex chars barely catch melee damage and don't drop potions, 26 wis/int chars seem to succeed is casting spells all the time. Whatever is going on in the game code I dunno, but the minor stat changes matter, as evidenced by:
**26 int vamps made grasp game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1149)
**26 wis druids made dorn game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1171)
**26 str hunters gash is much stronger (because gash is Wis+Str based)

So, all of the single-class prestige types are "just better" at being that class than the non-prestige version.

And, the multi-class prestige types can try interesting things to experiment with changing different stats based on who they cross-class with, raising their deficient stat, or secondary stat, or with clerics/druids essentially achieving the same stat bonus as the single-class prestige by raising prime stat to 26 and still also gaining cross-class skills. There's a lot of combo's out there, an each seems to have some nice perks.

----
Small changes make big impacts

*The multi-class skills list doesn't look that impressive, but again its the less-fancy skills that make a decent impact
**Adding parry/dodge/etc skills to characters who don't typically have them makes a big difference:
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War gaining parry and dodge drastically reduces melee damage taken.
**Increasing 2nd/3rd/4th attack percentages is very helpful.
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War increases 2nd and 3rd attack from 45% and 30% both to 95%. More than double your melee damage attempts.
***In conjunction with the above parry/dodge benefit, you've entirely flipped the script on the Mage's melee fighting capability.
**Automatic skills are worthwhile and add up quickly, even if you don't get to 'play with them' yourself really.
***A Thief moving to a Thi-War adds Parry, sees grip move from 30% to 90%, 2nd atk 90% -> 95%, 3rd atk 70% -> 95%.
**Functional "utility" skills are nice and make gameplay easier, get you out of jams. Increase suriveability.
***Gaining things like rescue, scan, track, and of course sanc/nadur dion, cure blind/poison, elemental shields, etc, are all fucking nice to have.

I'm betting there's a bunch of other ways prestige is game breaking that will eventually be nerfed too once people figure it out, because mostly none of this prestige stuff is super well beta tested. Edmond showed up one day and built it out in about 2 weeks then bailed. He had some people in various orders testing in on the build port for a week, some tweaks were made, then he shoved it onto the production server and let it fly. This is not some crack team of nerd game developers, its some dude who rushed this in, and his 3 buddies have to deal with the fallout now. Unsurprisingly, the grasp/dorn issues were huge and required adjustment, I'm certain there will be others.

----
Here's my own 2 cents on some of the different prestige options:

I haven't experimented with the multi-class prestige options much yet. But here's what I got so far:

*'''Thi-War:''' Functionally better, but not much "fun"
**Definitely hardier than a regular thief, but, not many features to actually mess with. Gets Rescue, which is nice. And Doorbash. Shrug.

*'''Dru-Cle:''' A badass motherfucker who ain't takin shit from nobody
**Definitely my favorite. The killer combo here is obtaining all the +dorn and lower dorn cost gear that's out there (Graaj/Tolsmir), and then tacking on the 26 wis from the prestige status. The stuff obtained from the cleric skills list isn't really big, druids already can do most of that stuff, but, that 26 wis and whatever other secret sauce prestige adds (speed?) makes him far better than my regular druids.

*'''Cle-Dru:''' Maybe my best tank?
**I have this guy devoted to Sarane for House Arcana Eviae path (the tanky/fighty cleric path skills), which makes a great combo with the prestige status. Guy is a brick shit house. The Druid stuff adds a huge quantity of useful spells to fix everything that's annoying about regular Clerics. He can fucking hide/sneak/scan/track, he can rescue at 95% instead of 20%, all his 2nd/3rd/4th atk percentages are way better. The combo of that stuff with the cleric devotion path spells like Greater Sanctuary (60% damage reduction), indurate, indignation, conviction, defense against undead, lightshield, divine power, and of course visage of the deity make this dude super solid. The Cleric devotion path stuff makes clerics decent tanks, but the Cle-Dru prestige stuff makes them vastly more functional and capable of a lot more gameplay. Easier to use, less restrictions, nice. I might do a Cle-War later to really focus on the tank element, that would be even better, though less good for walking around exploring and shit like that.

Here's some builds my friends have that I get the gist of:

*'''Cle-War:''' Probably the best route to take to build a cleric tank really. Get all the fighty stuff, parry, melee atk %'s, grip, etc.
*'''Mag-Cle:''' Sick of walking around 2 spell bots? Get by with 1. Mage buffs plus sanc, who's against that? Great for Immob mages.
*'''Thi-Dru:''' Adding magic to thieves is super useful: sanc, invis, cure blind/poison, create spring, PLUS parry and increased melee %'s.
*'''War-XXX:''' Warriors themselves fucking suck, so, prestige it with anything to maybe get more use out of it!

For the single-prestige classes, I have Dread, Knight, Hunter, will soon have my Fatty prestiged into a Bucc. Honestly not much to say about these other than "yea they're better". If you have one, why would you use the regular version? You wouldn't. So, I'm currently focusing on these because I kind of think that over time people may figure out new multi-class ideas for certain purposes/runs and I'll let that play out for awhile before committing to what I build there. But, these single-class guys aren't going anywhere, and really the end-game is now to have all these classes prestiged into their superman forms. So, mays well get that done first. They're all strong.

*'''Dread:''' having 26 dex makes them almost unhittable for certain mobs. Grasp is fast and strong. Feed to full is money.
*'''Knight:''' is huge and just laughs as things slam against him and bounce off.
*'''Hunter:''' is wayyyy fucking nicer than Ranger and can actually kill things now, plus cascade is kickass for certain applications.
*'''Bucc:''' The new skills suck really, but Bucc is still pretty sick (especially if you have all the +gong equipment from IC/Pete). I use this as my questor and he romps Destre quest mobs at 8% mob life per gong.
*'''Harb:''' The speed of spiral is sick. He's a super good quest char too. I don't naturally use my Augs a ton, so not a lot more to say, he is better though!

Prestige Info

2026-03-04T01:47:48Z

Admin: /* Prestige Types */

The prestige option allows you to relevel your character and acquire some gains based on your class (or multiclass).

=Prestige Types=

There are two types of prestige characters. Some classes can multi-class with another, some can only upgrade at their existing class.

*These "classic" classes can become multi-class with one another (only) (i.e. Cleric-Druid, or Mage-Thief, etc)
**Your original class will be your "primary class" while your added class we will call your "secondary class".
***Cleric
***Druid
***Mage
***Thief
***Warrior

*These classes just become upgraded. They get a new fancy name and greater powers in their own class. (they cannot multi-class).
**Augurer --> Harbinger
**Fathomer --> Buccaneer
**Nephandi --> Infernalist
**Paladin --> Knight
**Ranger --> Hunter
**Vampire --> Dread Vampire

Current Distribution of Prestige Characters: Here is what people have chosen as of March 2026:

[[Image:Prestige 2026.PNG]]

==Race Restrictions==
*For the multi-class type, race restrictions still apply. Meaning if your race cannot be a Thief, then you cannot multi as a X-Thief.
**For example, a Half-Ogre Thief cannot become a Thi-Mag/Dru/Cle because Half-Ogres simply cannot be those classes. He could only become Thi-War

Below is a table of which races can be which classes. This is slightly confusing, so for clarity there is more information on [[Prestige Info Tables]] for each specific multi-class option.

=Equipment=
*For multi-class prestige:
**The primary class determines what equipment you can wear. If you're a Thi-Mag, you have to wear Thief/Rogue compatible eq. Not Mage stuff.

Items made specifically for prestige chars of various classes/multi-classes will be introduced to the game at "some point".

(There's a few items I know about currently, so there are probably more out there already)

Look for this to be fully implemented soon, circa 2065!

=Bonuses=

Prestige characters get several bonuses, including a max stat increase, hp/mana/moves increases, and skills/spells increases. Some get brand new skills/spells, and some have increased speed/wait-time or damage of their existing skills/spells.

==Stat Bonus==
*For single-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the maximum value of your prime stat, so it can now reach 26:
Dread Vampire: 26 Dex
Buccaneer: 26 Dex
Knight: 26 Str
Hunter: 26 Str
Harbinger: 26 Lck
Infernalist: 26 Int

*For multi-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the max of the prime stat of the secondary class.
**For example, a Thi-War: Str is the Warrior's prime stat. So Thi-War can have 21 Str.
**For example, a Mag-Thi: Dex is the Thief's prime stat. So Mag-Thi can have 21 Dex.

'''Secondary Class''' '''Increased max stat on the prestige character:'''
Thief: Dex
Warrior: Str
Mage: Int
Cleric: Wis
Druid: Wis

Higher stats do have concrete advantages, though not all of these are obvious to detect. Here are some known quantities:
*26 Dex = Impossible to fumble potions.
*+1 Str = Additional 100 lbs carry capacity (max 1100 at 26 Str).
*+1 Str = Rangers 'gash' attach is STR+WIS based, and hits much harder with 26 Str.
*26 Int = Grasp was Int based, and was brutal at 26 int. Got nerfed. (news 1149)
*26 Wis = Dorn was Wis based, and this was fucking ammazzzzing. Got nerfed. (news 1171)

Here's a full table of the possible max stats, with the bonus stat from the secondary class in bold, and noted. Note that some influence the primary class's prime/secondary/deficient stats, which can be interesting to think about.

|-
|Dru-Thi||20||20||25||'''21'''||22||18||20|| +1 Dex
|}

The Dru-Cle or Cle-Dru combination is the ONLY one that causes the prime stat to go up to 26.

==HP Bonus==

Upon having an Immortal prestige you, you will be back at level 1. They will auto-level you to 5.

*Prestige characters have their starting hp at level 1 doubled compared to normal new chars of that race/class.
**The equation is: (20 +/- {race/class modifiers}) x 2 = starting hp at level 1.
*You will then receive 4 automatic levels with all of your stats being maxed by the immortal's prestige command.

This leaves you at Level 5 with a higher base than a standard level 5 character.

(No bonuses to starting mana or movement outside of racial modifiers.)

===HP Gains per Level===

Gains for multi-class characters are based on primary class, not affected by secondary.

While prestige leveling, your class's min hp gain is +1 from usual, and your max hp gain is +2 from usual.

For example, if a given class has a standard min hp gain of 13 and max of 18 each level, prestige leveling that class would see hp gains between 14 and 20.

===Total HP Gains===

My rule of thumb is that you basically get between 4-6 "Free" additional levels worth of hp gains. I usually hit my "old base" around level 44/45. So, whatever I gain after that between 45-50 is additional prestige bonus hp. If you use a generic average hp gain of 15, that's 75 hp. It can of course be significantly more/less depending on race/class and dumb luck.

Here is a list of some actual data points. I apologize for the lack of pre-prestige values in some cases.

=== Multi-class bonuses ===

For multi-class prestige, the bonuses are simply that you can learn skills/spells from your secondary class.

*Skills/Spells from the primary class are auto-adepted each level to full. You do NOT need to "re-learn" those.
*Skills/Spells from the secondary class must be adepted as per usual (and take longer than usual)

*There is a list of multi-class accessible skills/spells in 'help prestige4'.
**If the secondary class would typically learn one of those, you will learn it on your prestige multi-class.
***For example, if you're a Warrior, and you multi with a Cleric, Clerics learn 'sanctuary', and its on the list, so you can learn sanctuary.

*Multi Skills/Spells learned thanks to your secondary class have a max adept percentage at 80% of the secondary class's native adept percentage.
**For example, a War-Cleric will get sanctuary. Cleric's learn sanc to 95%. War-Cle will learn it to (95 x .80) = 76%
*If BOTH classes have a skill or spell, whichever class has the higher percentage 'wins', and that value is the new limit for that skill or spell.
**For example, Clerics usually adept rescue to 20%, while Druids adept rescue at 95%. A Cleric-Druid's rescue will adept to 95%.

*Mage path spells, and Cleric pantheon spells, are not included for prestigers.
**Cleric align-based spells DO still apply. You learn both heal & necromantic touch, but your ability to cast each is based on your align dev/evil.

*Mage-X prestige's get a special perk of increased self-stat-buff spells. They're +6 instead of the usual +3.

===Multi-Class Skills/Spells Table===
Here's a table showing what you learn from multi'ing with each Class, and to what percentage adeptness that class adepts that.

(Remember you will only get 80% of the listed adeptness, unless you also share that skill, in which case you just get whichever is the higher value)

This is just a quick overview, to see EXACTLY what 'you get' please see [[Prestige Info Tables]]

=Damage Comparisons=

I have a lot of data on different attack values, however I don't have a lot of comparison between prestige vs. non-prestige unfortunately (it's basically all prestige data). The one comparison I have however is on Ranger/Hunter Gash, which displays the advantage of the increased relevant stat to the gash attack (Gash is based on Wis+Str. Hunters have 26 Str). This is based on testing about 100 Gash's in the arena PvP, damage values may differ vs. Mobs.

|}

In general, all attacks are simply better. If not, defenses are better, allowing for less healing and more frequent attacks.

In practice, 2 Dreads can kill things 2 Vamps struggle much more to kill, etc.

Attack/wait-time speeds are decreased for some attacks/classes so even if the attack isn't necessarily stronger you are launching more of them more frequently. The Harbingers being able to launch 17 spirals before Coil of Flame expires compared to a regular Aug's 13 spirals is a nice gain. Plus, since Spiral damage is HP based, your increased prestige HP base will raise that level as well. More damage per hit and more hits overall: Double Whammy.

=Leveling Tips=

Leveling a prestige character fucking blows:

*MUST be ip-1 game-wide while leveling or drastically reduced xp.
*XP needed per level is jacked way way way up
*XP gain pet hit is jacked way way way down. About 1/7th the usual rate of xp gain per hit.
*Your kill buffer filling up with too many kills of a mob will drop xp down 0, entirely 0 xp per hit or kill.

Advice:

*Get a fucking life and quit this bullshit game.
*Be ip1. Clear your kill buffer every level to start, then twice per level, and by the end after every 'round' of mobs you go and kill.
**I may be paranoid, but I clear it with 25 UNIQUE mobs.
*Melee damage gains far more xp than the other attacks/spells. Just sit there, do nothing, and heal as needed.
**Max your HR as much as possible to land as many melee hits as possible.
**Max your DR as much as possible to land as much damage per melee hit as possible.
**This applies to non-prestige leveling too btw, but really needs to be followed for prestige leveling.
*Classes that get enhanced damage and 2nd/3rd/4th attack early on go much faster than those that do not.
*Finding all the lowbie quests that give xp rewards is helpful (Town Hall, etc)

Grind your face off.

So far for me Knight and Hunter were the fastest. Dread sucks at first but then speeds up. Thief-Warrior is by far the worst. Absolutely awful the entire time start to finish.

== How to Prestige ==

===Glory & Gold Cost===
See help prestige3.

In my mind, it usually behooves you to get as much glory as your patience can stand. The minimum 300/2bil price tag is both expensive in gold and also leaves you with a tiny 300 glory to play with, which you can't do all that much with. In my mind, I have no rush to prestige stuff usually, and would rather have at least 750 glory to play with. Once in a blue moon I'll blow the 2bil and do it at 300 glory, but, I likely have more gold than newer players and can do that.

If you are struggling with the gold cost, just keep glorying. Gold is stupid anyways. If you do need help getting SOME gold, my advice is to find 2/3 buddies and figure out a run for a decent item, then farm it, stockpile loot, and sell the shit out of it. Farming Mithril Hall or CD is way slower. There's solo things you can do if you have the means, farming edo dragon teeth and selling amulets is quite lucrative. I should write a page on profitable things for newbs to run.

===Scrippe===

If you have the required glory and gold, go to Queen Mordrineagh Ni Riain in the Castle of Rol Na Feinne.

'''Zmud/Tintin:''' #6 s;ne;s;s;se;e;e;s;sw;sw;s;#5 sw;nw;#5 n;ne;n;e;n;ne;n;n;say entry;n;u;u;open west;w
'''Mush:''' #6s (ne) 2s (se) 2e s 2(sw) s 5(sw) (nw) 5n (ne) n e n (ne) 2n (say entry) n 2u (open west) w

In her room, execute the command '''prestige'''. She will provide you a scrippe with your name and the word "prestige" embossed.

Note: She will not verify if your character is already prestiged. Reimbursements will not be made for opportunities purchased if you are already prestige or multi-class.

After you have obtained that scrippe, and once you are ready to pull the trigger '''remove all your gear and empty your inventory''' and it may be wise to '''eat and drink (and maybe rest for a tick)''' so that you are in perfect health before being auto-leveled to level 5, as mental state and hunger and god knows what else may impact the auto-leveled hp gains.

Finally, contact a level 60 imm and tell them you'd like to prestige your character.

=Closing Thoughts & Opinions=

Any prestige character is significantly "better" than the non-prestige version. In my experience, the little things do matter.

*Increasing stats by 1 does make a big difference. Having 26 of a stat makes whatever that is super good. 26 dex chars barely catch melee damage and don't drop potions, 26 wis/int chars seem to succeed is casting spells all the time. Whatever is going on in the game code I dunno, but the minor stat changes matter, as evidenced by:
**26 int vamps made grasp game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1149)
**26 wis druids made dorn game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1171)
**26 str hunters gash is much stronger (because gash is Wis+Str based)

So, all of the single-class prestige types are "just better" at being that class than the non-prestige version.

And, the multi-class prestige types can try interesting things to experiment with changing different stats based on who they cross-class with, raising their deficient stat, or secondary stat, or with clerics/druids essentially achieving the same stat bonus as the single-class prestige by raising prime stat to 26 and still also gaining cross-class skills. There's a lot of combo's out there, an each seems to have some nice perks.

----
Small changes make big impacts

*The multi-class skills list doesn't look that impressive, but again its the less-fancy skills that make a decent impact
**Adding parry/dodge/etc skills to characters who don't typically have them makes a big difference:
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War gaining parry and dodge drastically reduces melee damage taken.
**Increasing 2nd/3rd/4th attack percentages is very helpful.
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War increases 2nd and 3rd attack from 45% and 30% both to 95%. More than double your melee damage attempts.
***In conjunction with the above parry/dodge benefit, you've entirely flipped the script on the Mage's melee fighting capability.
**Automatic skills are worthwhile and add up quickly, even if you don't get to 'play with them' yourself really.
***A Thief moving to a Thi-War adds Parry, sees grip move from 30% to 90%, 2nd atk 90% -> 95%, 3rd atk 70% -> 95%.
**Functional "utility" skills are nice and make gameplay easier, get you out of jams. Increase suriveability.
***Gaining things like rescue, scan, track, and of course sanc/nadur dion, cure blind/poison, elemental shields, etc, are all fucking nice to have.

I'm betting there's a bunch of other ways prestige is game breaking that will eventually be nerfed too once people figure it out, because mostly none of this prestige stuff is super well beta tested. Edmond showed up one day and built it out in about 2 weeks then bailed. He had some people in various orders testing in on the build port for a week, some tweaks were made, then he shoved it onto the production server and let it fly. This is not some crack team of nerd game developers, its some dude who rushed this in, and his 3 buddies have to deal with the fallout now. Unsurprisingly, the grasp/dorn issues were huge and required adjustment, I'm certain there will be others.

----
Here's my own 2 cents on some of the different prestige options:

I haven't experimented with the multi-class prestige options much yet. But here's what I got so far:

*'''Thi-War:''' Functionally better, but not much "fun"
**Definitely hardier than a regular thief, but, not many features to actually mess with. Gets Rescue, which is nice. And Doorbash. Shrug.

*'''Dru-Cle:''' A badass motherfucker who ain't takin shit from nobody
**Definitely my favorite. The killer combo here is obtaining all the +dorn and lower dorn cost gear that's out there (Graaj/Tolsmir), and then tacking on the 26 wis from the prestige status. The stuff obtained from the cleric skills list isn't really big, druids already can do most of that stuff, but, that 26 wis and whatever other secret sauce prestige adds (speed?) makes him far better than my regular druids.

*'''Cle-Dru:''' Maybe my best tank?
**I have this guy devoted to Sarane for House Arcana Eviae path (the tanky/fighty cleric path skills), which makes a great combo with the prestige status. Guy is a brick shit house. The Druid stuff adds a huge quantity of useful spells to fix everything that's annoying about regular Clerics. He can fucking hide/sneak/scan/track, he can rescue at 95% instead of 20%, all his 2nd/3rd/4th atk percentages are way better. The combo of that stuff with the cleric devotion path spells like Greater Sanctuary (60% damage reduction), indurate, indignation, conviction, defense against undead, lightshield, divine power, and of course visage of the deity make this dude super solid. The Cleric devotion path stuff makes clerics decent tanks, but the Cle-Dru prestige stuff makes them vastly more functional and capable of a lot more gameplay. Easier to use, less restrictions, nice. I might do a Cle-War later to really focus on the tank element, that would be even better, though less good for walking around exploring and shit like that.

Here's some builds my friends have that I get the gist of:

*'''Cle-War:''' Probably the best route to take to build a cleric tank really. Get all the fighty stuff, parry, melee atk %'s, grip, etc.
*'''Mag-Cle:''' Sick of walking around 2 spell bots? Get by with 1. Mage buffs plus sanc, who's against that? Great for Immob mages.
*'''Thi-Dru:''' Adding magic to thieves is super useful: sanc, invis, cure blind/poison, create spring, PLUS parry and increased melee %'s.
*'''War-XXX:''' Warriors themselves fucking suck, so, prestige it with anything to maybe get more use out of it!

For the single-prestige classes, I have Dread, Knight, Hunter, will soon have my Fatty prestiged into a Bucc. Honestly not much to say about these other than "yea they're better". If you have one, why would you use the regular version? You wouldn't. So, I'm currently focusing on these because I kind of think that over time people may figure out new multi-class ideas for certain purposes/runs and I'll let that play out for awhile before committing to what I build there. But, these single-class guys aren't going anywhere, and really the end-game is now to have all these classes prestiged into their superman forms. So, mays well get that done first. They're all strong.

*'''Dread:''' having 26 dex makes them almost unhittable for certain mobs. Grasp is fast and strong. Feed to full is money.
*'''Knight:''' is huge and just laughs as things slam against him and bounce off.
*'''Hunter:''' is wayyyy fucking nicer than Ranger and can actually kill things now, plus cascade is kickass for certain applications.
*'''Bucc:''' The new skills suck really, but Bucc is still pretty sick (especially if you have all the +gong equipment from IC/Pete). I use this as my questor and he romps Destre quest mobs at 8% mob life per gong.
*'''Harb:''' The speed of spiral is sick. He's a super good quest char too. I don't naturally use my Augs a ton, so not a lot more to say, he is better though!

Prestige Info

2026-03-04T01:47:39Z

Admin: /* Prestige Types */

The prestige option allows you to relevel your character and acquire some gains based on your class (or multiclass).

=Prestige Types=

There are two types of prestige characters. Some classes can multi-class with another, some can only upgrade at their existing class.

*These "classic" classes can become multi-class with one another (only) (i.e. Cleric-Druid, or Mage-Thief, etc)
**Your original class will be your "primary class" while your added class we will call your "secondary class".
***Cleric
***Druid
***Mage
***Thief
***Warrior

*These classes just become upgraded. They get a new fancy name and greater powers in their own class. (they cannot multi-class).
**Augurer --> Harbinger
**Fathomer --> Buccaneer
**Nephandi --> Infernalist
**Paladin --> Knight
**Ranger --> Hunter
**Vampire --> Dread Vampire

Current Distribution of Prestige Characters: Here is what people have chosen as of March 2026:
[[Image:Prestige 2026.PNG]]

==Race Restrictions==
*For the multi-class type, race restrictions still apply. Meaning if your race cannot be a Thief, then you cannot multi as a X-Thief.
**For example, a Half-Ogre Thief cannot become a Thi-Mag/Dru/Cle because Half-Ogres simply cannot be those classes. He could only become Thi-War

Below is a table of which races can be which classes. This is slightly confusing, so for clarity there is more information on [[Prestige Info Tables]] for each specific multi-class option.

=Equipment=
*For multi-class prestige:
**The primary class determines what equipment you can wear. If you're a Thi-Mag, you have to wear Thief/Rogue compatible eq. Not Mage stuff.

Items made specifically for prestige chars of various classes/multi-classes will be introduced to the game at "some point".

(There's a few items I know about currently, so there are probably more out there already)

Look for this to be fully implemented soon, circa 2065!

=Bonuses=

Prestige characters get several bonuses, including a max stat increase, hp/mana/moves increases, and skills/spells increases. Some get brand new skills/spells, and some have increased speed/wait-time or damage of their existing skills/spells.

==Stat Bonus==
*For single-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the maximum value of your prime stat, so it can now reach 26:
Dread Vampire: 26 Dex
Buccaneer: 26 Dex
Knight: 26 Str
Hunter: 26 Str
Harbinger: 26 Lck
Infernalist: 26 Int

*For multi-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the max of the prime stat of the secondary class.
**For example, a Thi-War: Str is the Warrior's prime stat. So Thi-War can have 21 Str.
**For example, a Mag-Thi: Dex is the Thief's prime stat. So Mag-Thi can have 21 Dex.

'''Secondary Class''' '''Increased max stat on the prestige character:'''
Thief: Dex
Warrior: Str
Mage: Int
Cleric: Wis
Druid: Wis

Higher stats do have concrete advantages, though not all of these are obvious to detect. Here are some known quantities:
*26 Dex = Impossible to fumble potions.
*+1 Str = Additional 100 lbs carry capacity (max 1100 at 26 Str).
*+1 Str = Rangers 'gash' attach is STR+WIS based, and hits much harder with 26 Str.
*26 Int = Grasp was Int based, and was brutal at 26 int. Got nerfed. (news 1149)
*26 Wis = Dorn was Wis based, and this was fucking ammazzzzing. Got nerfed. (news 1171)

Here's a full table of the possible max stats, with the bonus stat from the secondary class in bold, and noted. Note that some influence the primary class's prime/secondary/deficient stats, which can be interesting to think about.

|-
|Dru-Thi||20||20||25||'''21'''||22||18||20|| +1 Dex
|}

The Dru-Cle or Cle-Dru combination is the ONLY one that causes the prime stat to go up to 26.

==HP Bonus==

Upon having an Immortal prestige you, you will be back at level 1. They will auto-level you to 5.

*Prestige characters have their starting hp at level 1 doubled compared to normal new chars of that race/class.
**The equation is: (20 +/- {race/class modifiers}) x 2 = starting hp at level 1.
*You will then receive 4 automatic levels with all of your stats being maxed by the immortal's prestige command.

This leaves you at Level 5 with a higher base than a standard level 5 character.

(No bonuses to starting mana or movement outside of racial modifiers.)

===HP Gains per Level===

Gains for multi-class characters are based on primary class, not affected by secondary.

While prestige leveling, your class's min hp gain is +1 from usual, and your max hp gain is +2 from usual.

For example, if a given class has a standard min hp gain of 13 and max of 18 each level, prestige leveling that class would see hp gains between 14 and 20.

===Total HP Gains===

My rule of thumb is that you basically get between 4-6 "Free" additional levels worth of hp gains. I usually hit my "old base" around level 44/45. So, whatever I gain after that between 45-50 is additional prestige bonus hp. If you use a generic average hp gain of 15, that's 75 hp. It can of course be significantly more/less depending on race/class and dumb luck.

Here is a list of some actual data points. I apologize for the lack of pre-prestige values in some cases.

=== Multi-class bonuses ===

For multi-class prestige, the bonuses are simply that you can learn skills/spells from your secondary class.

*Skills/Spells from the primary class are auto-adepted each level to full. You do NOT need to "re-learn" those.
*Skills/Spells from the secondary class must be adepted as per usual (and take longer than usual)

*There is a list of multi-class accessible skills/spells in 'help prestige4'.
**If the secondary class would typically learn one of those, you will learn it on your prestige multi-class.
***For example, if you're a Warrior, and you multi with a Cleric, Clerics learn 'sanctuary', and its on the list, so you can learn sanctuary.

*Multi Skills/Spells learned thanks to your secondary class have a max adept percentage at 80% of the secondary class's native adept percentage.
**For example, a War-Cleric will get sanctuary. Cleric's learn sanc to 95%. War-Cle will learn it to (95 x .80) = 76%
*If BOTH classes have a skill or spell, whichever class has the higher percentage 'wins', and that value is the new limit for that skill or spell.
**For example, Clerics usually adept rescue to 20%, while Druids adept rescue at 95%. A Cleric-Druid's rescue will adept to 95%.

*Mage path spells, and Cleric pantheon spells, are not included for prestigers.
**Cleric align-based spells DO still apply. You learn both heal & necromantic touch, but your ability to cast each is based on your align dev/evil.

*Mage-X prestige's get a special perk of increased self-stat-buff spells. They're +6 instead of the usual +3.

===Multi-Class Skills/Spells Table===
Here's a table showing what you learn from multi'ing with each Class, and to what percentage adeptness that class adepts that.

(Remember you will only get 80% of the listed adeptness, unless you also share that skill, in which case you just get whichever is the higher value)

This is just a quick overview, to see EXACTLY what 'you get' please see [[Prestige Info Tables]]

*Stupid Druid spell name translations:

**cure poison = Ioc puinsean
**sanctuary = nadur dion
**heal = slainte
**continual light = starlight

=Damage Comparisons=

I have a lot of data on different attack values, however I don't have a lot of comparison between prestige vs. non-prestige unfortunately (it's basically all prestige data). The one comparison I have however is on Ranger/Hunter Gash, which displays the advantage of the increased relevant stat to the gash attack (Gash is based on Wis+Str. Hunters have 26 Str). This is based on testing about 100 Gash's in the arena PvP, damage values may differ vs. Mobs.

|}

In general, all attacks are simply better. If not, defenses are better, allowing for less healing and more frequent attacks.

In practice, 2 Dreads can kill things 2 Vamps struggle much more to kill, etc.

Attack/wait-time speeds are decreased for some attacks/classes so even if the attack isn't necessarily stronger you are launching more of them more frequently. The Harbingers being able to launch 17 spirals before Coil of Flame expires compared to a regular Aug's 13 spirals is a nice gain. Plus, since Spiral damage is HP based, your increased prestige HP base will raise that level as well. More damage per hit and more hits overall: Double Whammy.

=Leveling Tips=

Leveling a prestige character fucking blows:

*MUST be ip-1 game-wide while leveling or drastically reduced xp.
*XP needed per level is jacked way way way up
*XP gain pet hit is jacked way way way down. About 1/7th the usual rate of xp gain per hit.
*Your kill buffer filling up with too many kills of a mob will drop xp down 0, entirely 0 xp per hit or kill.

Advice:

*Get a fucking life and quit this bullshit game.
*Be ip1. Clear your kill buffer every level to start, then twice per level, and by the end after every 'round' of mobs you go and kill.
**I may be paranoid, but I clear it with 25 UNIQUE mobs.
*Melee damage gains far more xp than the other attacks/spells. Just sit there, do nothing, and heal as needed.
**Max your HR as much as possible to land as many melee hits as possible.
**Max your DR as much as possible to land as much damage per melee hit as possible.
**This applies to non-prestige leveling too btw, but really needs to be followed for prestige leveling.
*Classes that get enhanced damage and 2nd/3rd/4th attack early on go much faster than those that do not.
*Finding all the lowbie quests that give xp rewards is helpful (Town Hall, etc)

Grind your face off.

So far for me Knight and Hunter were the fastest. Dread sucks at first but then speeds up. Thief-Warrior is by far the worst. Absolutely awful the entire time start to finish.

== How to Prestige ==

===Glory & Gold Cost===
See help prestige3.

In my mind, it usually behooves you to get as much glory as your patience can stand. The minimum 300/2bil price tag is both expensive in gold and also leaves you with a tiny 300 glory to play with, which you can't do all that much with. In my mind, I have no rush to prestige stuff usually, and would rather have at least 750 glory to play with. Once in a blue moon I'll blow the 2bil and do it at 300 glory, but, I likely have more gold than newer players and can do that.

If you are struggling with the gold cost, just keep glorying. Gold is stupid anyways. If you do need help getting SOME gold, my advice is to find 2/3 buddies and figure out a run for a decent item, then farm it, stockpile loot, and sell the shit out of it. Farming Mithril Hall or CD is way slower. There's solo things you can do if you have the means, farming edo dragon teeth and selling amulets is quite lucrative. I should write a page on profitable things for newbs to run.

===Scrippe===

If you have the required glory and gold, go to Queen Mordrineagh Ni Riain in the Castle of Rol Na Feinne.

'''Zmud/Tintin:''' #6 s;ne;s;s;se;e;e;s;sw;sw;s;#5 sw;nw;#5 n;ne;n;e;n;ne;n;n;say entry;n;u;u;open west;w
'''Mush:''' #6s (ne) 2s (se) 2e s 2(sw) s 5(sw) (nw) 5n (ne) n e n (ne) 2n (say entry) n 2u (open west) w

In her room, execute the command '''prestige'''. She will provide you a scrippe with your name and the word "prestige" embossed.

Note: She will not verify if your character is already prestiged. Reimbursements will not be made for opportunities purchased if you are already prestige or multi-class.

After you have obtained that scrippe, and once you are ready to pull the trigger '''remove all your gear and empty your inventory''' and it may be wise to '''eat and drink (and maybe rest for a tick)''' so that you are in perfect health before being auto-leveled to level 5, as mental state and hunger and god knows what else may impact the auto-leveled hp gains.

Finally, contact a level 60 imm and tell them you'd like to prestige your character.

=Closing Thoughts & Opinions=

Any prestige character is significantly "better" than the non-prestige version. In my experience, the little things do matter.

*Increasing stats by 1 does make a big difference. Having 26 of a stat makes whatever that is super good. 26 dex chars barely catch melee damage and don't drop potions, 26 wis/int chars seem to succeed is casting spells all the time. Whatever is going on in the game code I dunno, but the minor stat changes matter, as evidenced by:
**26 int vamps made grasp game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1149)
**26 wis druids made dorn game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1171)
**26 str hunters gash is much stronger (because gash is Wis+Str based)

So, all of the single-class prestige types are "just better" at being that class than the non-prestige version.

And, the multi-class prestige types can try interesting things to experiment with changing different stats based on who they cross-class with, raising their deficient stat, or secondary stat, or with clerics/druids essentially achieving the same stat bonus as the single-class prestige by raising prime stat to 26 and still also gaining cross-class skills. There's a lot of combo's out there, an each seems to have some nice perks.

----
Small changes make big impacts

*The multi-class skills list doesn't look that impressive, but again its the less-fancy skills that make a decent impact
**Adding parry/dodge/etc skills to characters who don't typically have them makes a big difference:
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War gaining parry and dodge drastically reduces melee damage taken.
**Increasing 2nd/3rd/4th attack percentages is very helpful.
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War increases 2nd and 3rd attack from 45% and 30% both to 95%. More than double your melee damage attempts.
***In conjunction with the above parry/dodge benefit, you've entirely flipped the script on the Mage's melee fighting capability.
**Automatic skills are worthwhile and add up quickly, even if you don't get to 'play with them' yourself really.
***A Thief moving to a Thi-War adds Parry, sees grip move from 30% to 90%, 2nd atk 90% -> 95%, 3rd atk 70% -> 95%.
**Functional "utility" skills are nice and make gameplay easier, get you out of jams. Increase suriveability.
***Gaining things like rescue, scan, track, and of course sanc/nadur dion, cure blind/poison, elemental shields, etc, are all fucking nice to have.

I'm betting there's a bunch of other ways prestige is game breaking that will eventually be nerfed too once people figure it out, because mostly none of this prestige stuff is super well beta tested. Edmond showed up one day and built it out in about 2 weeks then bailed. He had some people in various orders testing in on the build port for a week, some tweaks were made, then he shoved it onto the production server and let it fly. This is not some crack team of nerd game developers, its some dude who rushed this in, and his 3 buddies have to deal with the fallout now. Unsurprisingly, the grasp/dorn issues were huge and required adjustment, I'm certain there will be others.

----
Here's my own 2 cents on some of the different prestige options:

I haven't experimented with the multi-class prestige options much yet. But here's what I got so far:

*'''Thi-War:''' Functionally better, but not much "fun"
**Definitely hardier than a regular thief, but, not many features to actually mess with. Gets Rescue, which is nice. And Doorbash. Shrug.

*'''Dru-Cle:''' A badass motherfucker who ain't takin shit from nobody
**Definitely my favorite. The killer combo here is obtaining all the +dorn and lower dorn cost gear that's out there (Graaj/Tolsmir), and then tacking on the 26 wis from the prestige status. The stuff obtained from the cleric skills list isn't really big, druids already can do most of that stuff, but, that 26 wis and whatever other secret sauce prestige adds (speed?) makes him far better than my regular druids.

*'''Cle-Dru:''' Maybe my best tank?
**I have this guy devoted to Sarane for House Arcana Eviae path (the tanky/fighty cleric path skills), which makes a great combo with the prestige status. Guy is a brick shit house. The Druid stuff adds a huge quantity of useful spells to fix everything that's annoying about regular Clerics. He can fucking hide/sneak/scan/track, he can rescue at 95% instead of 20%, all his 2nd/3rd/4th atk percentages are way better. The combo of that stuff with the cleric devotion path spells like Greater Sanctuary (60% damage reduction), indurate, indignation, conviction, defense against undead, lightshield, divine power, and of course visage of the deity make this dude super solid. The Cleric devotion path stuff makes clerics decent tanks, but the Cle-Dru prestige stuff makes them vastly more functional and capable of a lot more gameplay. Easier to use, less restrictions, nice. I might do a Cle-War later to really focus on the tank element, that would be even better, though less good for walking around exploring and shit like that.

Here's some builds my friends have that I get the gist of:

*'''Cle-War:''' Probably the best route to take to build a cleric tank really. Get all the fighty stuff, parry, melee atk %'s, grip, etc.
*'''Mag-Cle:''' Sick of walking around 2 spell bots? Get by with 1. Mage buffs plus sanc, who's against that? Great for Immob mages.
*'''Thi-Dru:''' Adding magic to thieves is super useful: sanc, invis, cure blind/poison, create spring, PLUS parry and increased melee %'s.
*'''War-XXX:''' Warriors themselves fucking suck, so, prestige it with anything to maybe get more use out of it!

For the single-prestige classes, I have Dread, Knight, Hunter, will soon have my Fatty prestiged into a Bucc. Honestly not much to say about these other than "yea they're better". If you have one, why would you use the regular version? You wouldn't. So, I'm currently focusing on these because I kind of think that over time people may figure out new multi-class ideas for certain purposes/runs and I'll let that play out for awhile before committing to what I build there. But, these single-class guys aren't going anywhere, and really the end-game is now to have all these classes prestiged into their superman forms. So, mays well get that done first. They're all strong.

*'''Dread:''' having 26 dex makes them almost unhittable for certain mobs. Grasp is fast and strong. Feed to full is money.
*'''Knight:''' is huge and just laughs as things slam against him and bounce off.
*'''Hunter:''' is wayyyy fucking nicer than Ranger and can actually kill things now, plus cascade is kickass for certain applications.
*'''Bucc:''' The new skills suck really, but Bucc is still pretty sick (especially if you have all the +gong equipment from IC/Pete). I use this as my questor and he romps Destre quest mobs at 8% mob life per gong.
*'''Harb:''' The speed of spiral is sick. He's a super good quest char too. I don't naturally use my Augs a ton, so not a lot more to say, he is better though!

Prestige Info

2026-03-04T01:47:03Z

Admin:

The prestige option allows you to relevel your character and acquire some gains based on your class (or multiclass).

=Prestige Types=

There are two types of prestige characters. Some classes can multi-class with another, some can only upgrade at their existing class.

*These "classic" classes can become multi-class with one another (only) (i.e. Cleric-Druid, or Mage-Thief, etc)
**Your original class will be your "primary class" while your added class we will call your "secondary class".
***Cleric
***Druid
***Mage
***Thief
***Warrior

*These classes just become upgraded. They get a new fancy name and greater powers in their own class. (they cannot multi-class).
**Augurer --> Harbinger
**Fathomer --> Buccaneer
**Nephandi --> Infernalist
**Paladin --> Knight
**Ranger --> Hunter
**Vampire --> Dread Vampire

Current Distribution of Prestige Characters: Here is what people have chosen as of March 2026:
[[Prestige 2026.PNG]]

==Race Restrictions==
*For the multi-class type, race restrictions still apply. Meaning if your race cannot be a Thief, then you cannot multi as a X-Thief.
**For example, a Half-Ogre Thief cannot become a Thi-Mag/Dru/Cle because Half-Ogres simply cannot be those classes. He could only become Thi-War

Below is a table of which races can be which classes. This is slightly confusing, so for clarity there is more information on [[Prestige Info Tables]] for each specific multi-class option.

=Equipment=
*For multi-class prestige:
**The primary class determines what equipment you can wear. If you're a Thi-Mag, you have to wear Thief/Rogue compatible eq. Not Mage stuff.

Items made specifically for prestige chars of various classes/multi-classes will be introduced to the game at "some point".

(There's a few items I know about currently, so there are probably more out there already)

Look for this to be fully implemented soon, circa 2065!

=Bonuses=

Prestige characters get several bonuses, including a max stat increase, hp/mana/moves increases, and skills/spells increases. Some get brand new skills/spells, and some have increased speed/wait-time or damage of their existing skills/spells.

==Stat Bonus==
*For single-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the maximum value of your prime stat, so it can now reach 26:
Dread Vampire: 26 Dex
Buccaneer: 26 Dex
Knight: 26 Str
Hunter: 26 Str
Harbinger: 26 Lck
Infernalist: 26 Int

*For multi-class prestige characters, you get a +1 to the max of the prime stat of the secondary class.
**For example, a Thi-War: Str is the Warrior's prime stat. So Thi-War can have 21 Str.
**For example, a Mag-Thi: Dex is the Thief's prime stat. So Mag-Thi can have 21 Dex.

'''Secondary Class''' '''Increased max stat on the prestige character:'''
Thief: Dex
Warrior: Str
Mage: Int
Cleric: Wis
Druid: Wis

Higher stats do have concrete advantages, though not all of these are obvious to detect. Here are some known quantities:
*26 Dex = Impossible to fumble potions.
*+1 Str = Additional 100 lbs carry capacity (max 1100 at 26 Str).
*+1 Str = Rangers 'gash' attach is STR+WIS based, and hits much harder with 26 Str.
*26 Int = Grasp was Int based, and was brutal at 26 int. Got nerfed. (news 1149)
*26 Wis = Dorn was Wis based, and this was fucking ammazzzzing. Got nerfed. (news 1171)

Here's a full table of the possible max stats, with the bonus stat from the secondary class in bold, and noted. Note that some influence the primary class's prime/secondary/deficient stats, which can be interesting to think about.

The Dru-Cle or Cle-Dru combination is the ONLY one that causes the prime stat to go up to 26.

==HP Bonus==

Upon having an Immortal prestige you, you will be back at level 1. They will auto-level you to 5.

*Prestige characters have their starting hp at level 1 doubled compared to normal new chars of that race/class.
**The equation is: (20 +/- {race/class modifiers}) x 2 = starting hp at level 1.
*You will then receive 4 automatic levels with all of your stats being maxed by the immortal's prestige command.

This leaves you at Level 5 with a higher base than a standard level 5 character.

(No bonuses to starting mana or movement outside of racial modifiers.)

===HP Gains per Level===

Gains for multi-class characters are based on primary class, not affected by secondary.

While prestige leveling, your class's min hp gain is +1 from usual, and your max hp gain is +2 from usual.

For example, if a given class has a standard min hp gain of 13 and max of 18 each level, prestige leveling that class would see hp gains between 14 and 20.

===Total HP Gains===

My rule of thumb is that you basically get between 4-6 "Free" additional levels worth of hp gains. I usually hit my "old base" around level 44/45. So, whatever I gain after that between 45-50 is additional prestige bonus hp. If you use a generic average hp gain of 15, that's 75 hp. It can of course be significantly more/less depending on race/class and dumb luck.

Here is a list of some actual data points. I apologize for the lack of pre-prestige values in some cases.

=== Multi-class bonuses ===

For multi-class prestige, the bonuses are simply that you can learn skills/spells from your secondary class.

*Skills/Spells from the primary class are auto-adepted each level to full. You do NOT need to "re-learn" those.
*Skills/Spells from the secondary class must be adepted as per usual (and take longer than usual)

*There is a list of multi-class accessible skills/spells in 'help prestige4'.
**If the secondary class would typically learn one of those, you will learn it on your prestige multi-class.
***For example, if you're a Warrior, and you multi with a Cleric, Clerics learn 'sanctuary', and its on the list, so you can learn sanctuary.

*Multi Skills/Spells learned thanks to your secondary class have a max adept percentage at 80% of the secondary class's native adept percentage.
**For example, a War-Cleric will get sanctuary. Cleric's learn sanc to 95%. War-Cle will learn it to (95 x .80) = 76%
*If BOTH classes have a skill or spell, whichever class has the higher percentage 'wins', and that value is the new limit for that skill or spell.
**For example, Clerics usually adept rescue to 20%, while Druids adept rescue at 95%. A Cleric-Druid's rescue will adept to 95%.

*Mage path spells, and Cleric pantheon spells, are not included for prestigers.
**Cleric align-based spells DO still apply. You learn both heal & necromantic touch, but your ability to cast each is based on your align dev/evil.

*Mage-X prestige's get a special perk of increased self-stat-buff spells. They're +6 instead of the usual +3.

===Multi-Class Skills/Spells Table===
Here's a table showing what you learn from multi'ing with each Class, and to what percentage adeptness that class adepts that.

(Remember you will only get 80% of the listed adeptness, unless you also share that skill, in which case you just get whichever is the higher value)

This is just a quick overview, to see EXACTLY what 'you get' please see [[Prestige Info Tables]]

=Damage Comparisons=

I have a lot of data on different attack values, however I don't have a lot of comparison between prestige vs. non-prestige unfortunately (it's basically all prestige data). The one comparison I have however is on Ranger/Hunter Gash, which displays the advantage of the increased relevant stat to the gash attack (Gash is based on Wis+Str. Hunters have 26 Str). This is based on testing about 100 Gash's in the arena PvP, damage values may differ vs. Mobs.

|}

In general, all attacks are simply better. If not, defenses are better, allowing for less healing and more frequent attacks.

In practice, 2 Dreads can kill things 2 Vamps struggle much more to kill, etc.

Attack/wait-time speeds are decreased for some attacks/classes so even if the attack isn't necessarily stronger you are launching more of them more frequently. The Harbingers being able to launch 17 spirals before Coil of Flame expires compared to a regular Aug's 13 spirals is a nice gain. Plus, since Spiral damage is HP based, your increased prestige HP base will raise that level as well. More damage per hit and more hits overall: Double Whammy.

=Leveling Tips=

Leveling a prestige character fucking blows:

*MUST be ip-1 game-wide while leveling or drastically reduced xp.
*XP needed per level is jacked way way way up
*XP gain pet hit is jacked way way way down. About 1/7th the usual rate of xp gain per hit.
*Your kill buffer filling up with too many kills of a mob will drop xp down 0, entirely 0 xp per hit or kill.

Advice:

*Get a fucking life and quit this bullshit game.
*Be ip1. Clear your kill buffer every level to start, then twice per level, and by the end after every 'round' of mobs you go and kill.
**I may be paranoid, but I clear it with 25 UNIQUE mobs.
*Melee damage gains far more xp than the other attacks/spells. Just sit there, do nothing, and heal as needed.
**Max your HR as much as possible to land as many melee hits as possible.
**Max your DR as much as possible to land as much damage per melee hit as possible.
**This applies to non-prestige leveling too btw, but really needs to be followed for prestige leveling.
*Classes that get enhanced damage and 2nd/3rd/4th attack early on go much faster than those that do not.
*Finding all the lowbie quests that give xp rewards is helpful (Town Hall, etc)

Grind your face off.

So far for me Knight and Hunter were the fastest. Dread sucks at first but then speeds up. Thief-Warrior is by far the worst. Absolutely awful the entire time start to finish.

== How to Prestige ==

===Glory & Gold Cost===
See help prestige3.

In my mind, it usually behooves you to get as much glory as your patience can stand. The minimum 300/2bil price tag is both expensive in gold and also leaves you with a tiny 300 glory to play with, which you can't do all that much with. In my mind, I have no rush to prestige stuff usually, and would rather have at least 750 glory to play with. Once in a blue moon I'll blow the 2bil and do it at 300 glory, but, I likely have more gold than newer players and can do that.

If you are struggling with the gold cost, just keep glorying. Gold is stupid anyways. If you do need help getting SOME gold, my advice is to find 2/3 buddies and figure out a run for a decent item, then farm it, stockpile loot, and sell the shit out of it. Farming Mithril Hall or CD is way slower. There's solo things you can do if you have the means, farming edo dragon teeth and selling amulets is quite lucrative. I should write a page on profitable things for newbs to run.

===Scrippe===

If you have the required glory and gold, go to Queen Mordrineagh Ni Riain in the Castle of Rol Na Feinne.

'''Zmud/Tintin:''' #6 s;ne;s;s;se;e;e;s;sw;sw;s;#5 sw;nw;#5 n;ne;n;e;n;ne;n;n;say entry;n;u;u;open west;w
'''Mush:''' #6s (ne) 2s (se) 2e s 2(sw) s 5(sw) (nw) 5n (ne) n e n (ne) 2n (say entry) n 2u (open west) w

In her room, execute the command '''prestige'''. She will provide you a scrippe with your name and the word "prestige" embossed.

Note: She will not verify if your character is already prestiged. Reimbursements will not be made for opportunities purchased if you are already prestige or multi-class.

After you have obtained that scrippe, and once you are ready to pull the trigger '''remove all your gear and empty your inventory''' and it may be wise to '''eat and drink (and maybe rest for a tick)''' so that you are in perfect health before being auto-leveled to level 5, as mental state and hunger and god knows what else may impact the auto-leveled hp gains.

Finally, contact a level 60 imm and tell them you'd like to prestige your character.

=Closing Thoughts & Opinions=

Any prestige character is significantly "better" than the non-prestige version. In my experience, the little things do matter.

*Increasing stats by 1 does make a big difference. Having 26 of a stat makes whatever that is super good. 26 dex chars barely catch melee damage and don't drop potions, 26 wis/int chars seem to succeed is casting spells all the time. Whatever is going on in the game code I dunno, but the minor stat changes matter, as evidenced by:
**26 int vamps made grasp game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1149)
**26 wis druids made dorn game breaking and had to be nerfed (news 1171)
**26 str hunters gash is much stronger (because gash is Wis+Str based)

So, all of the single-class prestige types are "just better" at being that class than the non-prestige version.

And, the multi-class prestige types can try interesting things to experiment with changing different stats based on who they cross-class with, raising their deficient stat, or secondary stat, or with clerics/druids essentially achieving the same stat bonus as the single-class prestige by raising prime stat to 26 and still also gaining cross-class skills. There's a lot of combo's out there, an each seems to have some nice perks.

----
Small changes make big impacts

*The multi-class skills list doesn't look that impressive, but again its the less-fancy skills that make a decent impact
**Adding parry/dodge/etc skills to characters who don't typically have them makes a big difference:
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War gaining parry and dodge drastically reduces melee damage taken.
**Increasing 2nd/3rd/4th attack percentages is very helpful.
***A Mage moving to a Mag-War increases 2nd and 3rd attack from 45% and 30% both to 95%. More than double your melee damage attempts.
***In conjunction with the above parry/dodge benefit, you've entirely flipped the script on the Mage's melee fighting capability.
**Automatic skills are worthwhile and add up quickly, even if you don't get to 'play with them' yourself really.
***A Thief moving to a Thi-War adds Parry, sees grip move from 30% to 90%, 2nd atk 90% -> 95%, 3rd atk 70% -> 95%.
**Functional "utility" skills are nice and make gameplay easier, get you out of jams. Increase suriveability.
***Gaining things like rescue, scan, track, and of course sanc/nadur dion, cure blind/poison, elemental shields, etc, are all fucking nice to have.

I'm betting there's a bunch of other ways prestige is game breaking that will eventually be nerfed too once people figure it out, because mostly none of this prestige stuff is super well beta tested. Edmond showed up one day and built it out in about 2 weeks then bailed. He had some people in various orders testing in on the build port for a week, some tweaks were made, then he shoved it onto the production server and let it fly. This is not some crack team of nerd game developers, its some dude who rushed this in, and his 3 buddies have to deal with the fallout now. Unsurprisingly, the grasp/dorn issues were huge and required adjustment, I'm certain there will be others.

----
Here's my own 2 cents on some of the different prestige options:

I haven't experimented with the multi-class prestige options much yet. But here's what I got so far:

*'''Thi-War:''' Functionally better, but not much "fun"
**Definitely hardier than a regular thief, but, not many features to actually mess with. Gets Rescue, which is nice. And Doorbash. Shrug.

*'''Dru-Cle:''' A badass motherfucker who ain't takin shit from nobody
**Definitely my favorite. The killer combo here is obtaining all the +dorn and lower dorn cost gear that's out there (Graaj/Tolsmir), and then tacking on the 26 wis from the prestige status. The stuff obtained from the cleric skills list isn't really big, druids already can do most of that stuff, but, that 26 wis and whatever other secret sauce prestige adds (speed?) makes him far better than my regular druids.

*'''Cle-Dru:''' Maybe my best tank?
**I have this guy devoted to Sarane for House Arcana Eviae path (the tanky/fighty cleric path skills), which makes a great combo with the prestige status. Guy is a brick shit house. The Druid stuff adds a huge quantity of useful spells to fix everything that's annoying about regular Clerics. He can fucking hide/sneak/scan/track, he can rescue at 95% instead of 20%, all his 2nd/3rd/4th atk percentages are way better. The combo of that stuff with the cleric devotion path spells like Greater Sanctuary (60% damage reduction), indurate, indignation, conviction, defense against undead, lightshield, divine power, and of course visage of the deity make this dude super solid. The Cleric devotion path stuff makes clerics decent tanks, but the Cle-Dru prestige stuff makes them vastly more functional and capable of a lot more gameplay. Easier to use, less restrictions, nice. I might do a Cle-War later to really focus on the tank element, that would be even better, though less good for walking around exploring and shit like that.

Here's some builds my friends have that I get the gist of:

*'''Cle-War:''' Probably the best route to take to build a cleric tank really. Get all the fighty stuff, parry, melee atk %'s, grip, etc.
*'''Mag-Cle:''' Sick of walking around 2 spell bots? Get by with 1. Mage buffs plus sanc, who's against that? Great for Immob mages.
*'''Thi-Dru:''' Adding magic to thieves is super useful: sanc, invis, cure blind/poison, create spring, PLUS parry and increased melee %'s.
*'''War-XXX:''' Warriors themselves fucking suck, so, prestige it with anything to maybe get more use out of it!

For the single-prestige classes, I have Dread, Knight, Hunter, will soon have my Fatty prestiged into a Bucc. Honestly not much to say about these other than "yea they're better". If you have one, why would you use the regular version? You wouldn't. So, I'm currently focusing on these because I kind of think that over time people may figure out new multi-class ideas for certain purposes/runs and I'll let that play out for awhile before committing to what I build there. But, these single-class guys aren't going anywhere, and really the end-game is now to have all these classes prestiged into their superman forms. So, mays well get that done first. They're all strong.

*'''Dread:''' having 26 dex makes them almost unhittable for certain mobs. Grasp is fast and strong. Feed to full is money.
*'''Knight:''' is huge and just laughs as things slam against him and bounce off.
*'''Hunter:''' is wayyyy fucking nicer than Ranger and can actually kill things now, plus cascade is kickass for certain applications.
*'''Bucc:''' The new skills suck really, but Bucc is still pretty sick (especially if you have all the +gong equipment from IC/Pete). I use this as my questor and he romps Destre quest mobs at 8% mob life per gong.
*'''Harb:''' The speed of spiral is sick. He's a super good quest char too. I don't naturally use my Augs a ton, so not a lot more to say, he is better though!

=Equipment & Align=

'''Equipment Info:''' [[Paladin EQ]]

Shieldbash (primary alpha attack for avatars) is based on Wis, so dress to max Wis first and foremost. Then HP. After that, AC is probably most important, along with additional stats that impact fighting in general (Con, Dex, Lck).

'''Align:'''

Paladins must be Devout or they lose access to some skills/spells.

*Neut/Evil align Paladins lose access to the following:
**Feast of faith
**Fountain of faith
**Vitality
**Bethsaidean touch
**Solomonic invocation
**Expurgation
**Hezekiahs cure
**Refuge
**Dispel evil
**Breath of heaven
**Bind wounds
**Benefic aura
**Ward of divinity
**Crusade
**Sacral divinity
**Fortify
**Tzadkiels touch
**Divine armor
**Tend
**Righteous stand

It's basically all the spells for a Pally, so neut/evil pallys become just a straight fighter tank with basically no special sauce.

*'''Tactics:'''
**Two-Handed Weapons:
***Warriors commonly wield the two-handed long sword "Nasr, Claymore of Sovereignty". (aka "nasr warr")
***Nasr is a magic weapon that also casts a spell along with each melee hit, dealing high melee damage, affording the warrior time to focus on healing.
**Stun
***The 'stun' skill works on a small sub-set of mobs, and effectively immobilizes them from all attacks/actions for a few rounds.
**Smash
***The 'smash' skill is warriors primary alpha attack. While initially rather weak, the item [https://rodpedia.realmsofdespair.info/wiki/Brutal_Force| Brutal Force] significantly improves smash damage making smash warriors a much more viable damage dealer. Combined with Nasr, warriors can now output more significant damage.
**Rescue
***In combat, rescue makes the rescuer the tank (primary target of the mob). Two warriors rescuing each other can share tanking a difficult mob by simply healing to full, rescuing the other, and repeating back and forth.

Additional things that are either common to all classes, so not very interesting, or completely useless: cook, dig, climb, mount, swap, search.

=Stun Tactics=

There are not really any tactics with stun, its just a regular combat attack you launch in combat.

*Stun inflicts the Paralysis status for about 4 rounds.
**While stunned, the mob has no attacks, no parry/dodge/etc passive skills. All of your passive melee hits will land, as well as all combat attacks.
**In older SMAUG code, stun success is based on comparing player's Str + Dex vs victim's Str + Dex, this likely is still the case.
*Stun expends movement points to use. When you are out of moves, you can no longer stun.

That's about it. Not much to it. Limited use cases.

=Equipment & Align=

'''Equipment Info:''' [[Warrior EQ]]

Typically Warriors would dress for high HP as their priority. AC and DR would both be raised as much as possible secondarily. Make sure to keep Str & Dex maxed. Finally raise Lck as much as possible.

*Devout: Easy to equip, the defacto standard alignment for Warriors.
*Neut: Limited application, though there is gear for it out there. No real 'need' to be neut with a warrior that I know of.
*Evil: More difficult to equip, but just as nice as devout if you can do it.

'''Runs:'''
Warriors are a character that gets more and more useful as you develop them:
*Warriors who have obtained [https://rodpedia.realmsofdespair.info/wiki/Brutal_Force Brutal Force] (aka 'smash arms') are much more well suited for dealing damage.
*Warriors who have prestiged gain a lot of oomph as well.

The combinations of smash arms, prestige, and nasr, can make warriors very viable class for a lot or runs.

Warrior are commonly used for things where Nasr lands. I can't think of any specific runs right now.... shows how much I use my warrior. Colossal Humanoid! There's one.

'''Stuns:'''

Stun tactics work on things like the chessmen in Glimwinkles, and a bunch of others I currently forget.

=Summary=
Warriors do not get many fun/interesting skills, and zero spells. Their primary gameplay involves wielding a Nasr and letting it chew through mobs. For significant runs, rescue tactics are useful. Stun is useful although very limited in its application, mostly used for small mobs en route to larger ones, or basic eq gathering. As a 'first character' you won't be doing much 'fun' at all, just basic fighting.

The equipment Brutal Force is almost a requirement for use of a Warrior as an alpha attacker, otherwise Smash is rather lackluster. Brutal Force increased Smash + Nasr is very nice now, and opens up more range of application for Warriors.

As a support character, they function well as a potion mule and to lead your groups of other chars around with good visibility on your surroundings.

Within the Fighter genre, Warrior's heavily overlap with Rangers, aside from the 'stun' gimmick attack. See [[Fighter]] for a comparison within the genre.

=Prestige=
*[[Prestige_Info_Tables#Warrior-Multiclass|Warrior-Multiclass Options]]:
**Warrior's can cross with: Thief, Cleric, Druid, Mage

Prestige warriors are stronger/faster thanks to the general prestige upgrades, and gain a variety of magic/skills from any of the secondary classes.

The Cleric/Druid/Mage options add magical abilities. The Thief variety adds things like hide/sneak and upgrades disarm/dodge, etc.

*'''Tactics:'''
**Gash
***Your primary alpha attack. Costs Mana. Damage is based on Str+Wis. Requires a Talonous Arms weapon.
***Causes mobs mobs to 'bleed' once they reach 50% health, doing additional damage per round.
***Gash inflicts neither magic nor non-magic 'weapon type damage' (based on your weapon) and therefore mobs do not have any immunity/resistance to it. It tends to hit things that are otherwise immune magic/non-magic weapons.
**Two-Handed Weapons
***Rangers can wear two-handed swords, such as the long sword "Nasr, Claymore of Sovereignty".
**Missile Weapons
***Rangers can use a bow to fire arrows at a mob. This can outright kill a specific subset of mobs, without any active combat at all. Limited application however.
**Rescue
***In combat, rescue makes the rescuer the tank (primary target of the mob). Two characters rescuing each other can share tanking a difficult mob by simply healing to full, rescuing the other, and repeating back and forth.

*'''Notes:'''
**Gather Wood & Collect Tinder are the prerequisite for doing Kindle Fire
**Herbal Infusion & Mend Wounds:
***Herbal is a 28hp heal, Mend is a 23hp heal. I have no idea why, and you'll never use them so it doesn't matter.
**Regeneration is a 13 round 7-8hp heal (90-100hp total), with a cooldown period before re-use.

Additional things that are either common to all classes, so not very interesting, or completely useless: cook, dig, climb, mount, swap, search, forage (find food), extract moisture (refill drinkcon)

=Archers: Fletching & Missile Weapons=

Rangers are the only class to get Missile Weapons proficiency. Missile Weapons are bows.

==Fletching==
To fire a bow, you need arrows.

*'''How to fletch arrows:''' You'll need wood and flint in order to craft an arrow.
#Use the 'gather wood' skill in an outdoor room to obtain "a stack of wood"
#Purchase 'a piece of flint' from Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower (in the woods north of the area entrance)
#With both required items in your inventory do 'fletch' to create an arrow.

One piece of wood will be used to craft several arrows. One flint equals one arrow.

*'''How many arrows do I need?'''

A lot. Usually somewhere between 300-600 for the AV mobs you can drop with arrows.

So, you'll need to spend a bit of time crafting a bulk of arrows.

*'''How can I automate fletching?'''
Here's just about the dumbest method:

Go to Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower. Buy like 400 flints. Go outside his shop and empty the shop bags onto the ground so you have 400 flints on the ground.

Stand there and spam 20x 'gather wood'. Once complete, drop all the wood you got on the ground. Repeat until you have like 50-80 wood on the ground.

Create these triggers in your client:
#TRIGGER {You fashion an arrow from a crude piece of flint.} {put arrow CONTAINER; get flint; fletch};

#TRIGGER {You attempt to make an arrow, but fail miserably.} (get flint; fletch}

#TRIGGER {A stack of wood glows briefly, then disappears in a puff of smoke from your hands!}{get wood}

Get wood. Get Flint. Fletch.

That's it, that'll run till you run out of flints or wood or your container is full.

==Firing==
If you are using a standard item container, then you will need to get arrows out from the container into your inventory in order to fire them.

To fire, 'fire DIRECTION TARGET'

Example:
#19 get arrow CONTAINER
#19 fire north yeti

'''Quivers'''

If you have a quiver item, then you do not need to remove arrows from the quiver and hold them in your inventory to fire, you can just directly use the 'fire' command and will automatically use an arrow from your quiver.

There are several quivers around the game, but most are very small. The useful one is from Glimwinkle's Windmill, and is a pop from the Bishop on the Chessboard, and holds 400 arrows.

Example:
#19 fire north yeti

'''Bows'''

Different bows have different distances they can fire, some can only fire 1 room away, some can fire 2.

Bows eventually break.

The bow from Midway is the best bow in the game. (Midway is a carnival area only opened by Immortals occasionally). When its open, go load up on bows.

==Tactics==

Firing an arrow does the damage of the arrow itself, plus your DamRoll.

After hitting a mob with an arrow it will begin moving towards you. When it enters your room it will attack you.

However, mobs cannot chase you beyond their programmed area boundaries, or through rooms flagged 'nomob', or into rooms with a tunnel limit which are filled to that tunnel limit.

Note that mobs can detect you in such rooms, they just cannot ENTER those rooms.

Therefore, the strategy with missile weapons is to fire at a mob and immediately move your character to some room the mob cannot enter. At that point, the mob is still locked onto you and basically clawing at your doorstep, will not wander off, but also cannot enter your room. So he is effectively locked up, and you can fire arrows straight into his face.

Example: The Yeti wanders the Northern Plains. Ping him with an arrow and high tail it down to the southern border with Barren Peaks. Do a lot of scanning along the way to keep an eye on the Yeti chasing you a few rooms behind you! Once he's close to you, step 1 room out of Northern Plains into Barren Peaks. Scry/Scan to make sure the Yeti is there on the border still pursuing you. He cannot cross that boundary. Fire Away.

Note that some mobs can be outright killed with arrows, others should be ALMOST killed with arrows but then KB'd with another character, others can only be somewhat hurt with arrows before they heal. So, archer tactics do vary by mob and range from full kills to just doing an initial phase of injury to the mob.

=Equipment & Align=
Ranger's 'gash' is based on Str+Wis, so dress to max those first and foremost. Then, typically dressed for high HP and high Mana. Usual suspects DR/AC/Luck after that.

*'''Devout:''' Easy to equip, the defacto standard alignment for Rangers.
*'''Neut:''' No real 'need' to be neut with a Ranger that I know of.
*'''Evil:''' More difficult to equip, but just as nice as devout if you can do it.

**Rewards on above link.

'''Runs:'''

Rangers (especially Hunters) are able to run most typical mobs, since gash lands on almost anything. There's a wide variety of stuff you can run with a Ranger.

Rangers (along with Druids) are the required class to kill the Timbermaw Magnoth in The Wilds, which yields some very nice gear.

Archer tactics can be used on mobs like the Yeti, Jaeric, Rez, Longinus, and most notably are crucial for Yamata-No-Orochi in Edo, all of which drop useful items.

=Summary=

Within the [[Fighter]] genre, Rangers function very similar to Warriors, and offer a bit more in terms of magical spells, buffs, and spelldowns. Note that because of 'mercuria' Rangers can have 22 dex, exactly like warriors, and get their intrinsic 22 wis as well. So.... in my mind rangers > warriors, but - counter-points: You don't get 'fifth attack', your 'fourth attack' is less adept, and you don't get 'stun', so warriors are technically better at melee-damage and would be more fit for a mob where you rely on melee to do the damage. The gimmicks 'stun' and 'missile weapons' both work on about the same number of mobs, so those kinda outweigh each other. Ultimately you'll need both.

Rangers can tank as well as hit, and do just fine in both roles. Having rescue, they can rescue-tank just like warriors, and the fact that gash lands on almost everything is super useful. The prestige upgrade to Hunter gives a massive increase in Gash damage, plus gets some useful new skills. Overall, Rangers probably the most well-rounded Fighter genre character and are great for tanking, hitting, exploring, and get the missile-weapon gimmick which can drop a few mobs with very useful gear.

Full Skills List and other info: [https://rodpedia.realmsofdespair.info/wiki/Ranger Rodpedia Page]

=Prestige=
*'''Hunter''':
**Max Str raised to 26.
***Max carry weight 1100.
***Stronger 'Gash' (since it is Str+Wis based)
**Gash is also faster, and less mana cost.
**Can fletch arrows faster
**New Skills:
***'''Cascade:''' melee rounds hit EVERY mob in the fight. Nice for whacking lots of small stuff that gangs up on you.
***'''Indomitable:''' immune to stun/bash
***'''Pursue:''' Similar to hunt, auto-track-move-track-move... to mob.

**Gash
***Your primary alpha attack. Costs Mana. Damage is based on Str+Wis. Requires a Talonous Arms weapon.
***Causes mobs mobs to 'bleed' once they reach 50% health, doing additional damage per round.
***Gash inflicts neither magic nor non-magic 'weapon type damage' (based on your weapon) and therefore mobs do not have any immunity/resistance to it. It tends to hit things that are otherwise immune magic/non-magic weapons.
**Two-Handed Weapons
***Rangers can wear two-handed swords, such as the long sword "Nasr, Claymore of Sovereignty".
**Missile Weapons
***Rangers can use a bow to fire arrows at a mob. This can outright kill a specific subset of mobs, without any active combat at all. Limited application however.
**Rescue
***In combat, rescue makes the rescuer the tank (primary target of the mob). Two characters rescuing each other can share tanking a difficult mob by simply healing to full, rescuing the other, and repeating back and forth.

**Impair Defense is an AC debuff (+ AC) but I'm not sure how much
**Wasp Talon could technically go onto this list, as it also induces poison on the mob.

*'''Notes:'''
**Gather Wood & Collect Tinder are the prerequisite for doing Kindle Fire
**Herbal Infusion & Mend Wounds:
***Herbal is a 28hp heal, Mend is a 23hp heal. I have no idea why, and you'll never use them so it doesn't matter.
**Regeneration is a 13 round 7-8hp heal (90-100hp total), with a cooldown period before re-use.

Additional things that are either common to all classes, so not very interesting, or completely useless: cook, dig, climb, mount, swap, search, forage (find food), extract moisture (refill drinkcon)

=Archers: Fletching & Missile Weapons=

Rangers are the only class to get Missile Weapons proficiency. Missile Weapons are bows.

==Fletching==
To fire a bow, you need arrows.

*'''How to fletch arrows:''' You'll need wood and flint in order to craft an arrow.
#Use the 'gather wood' skill in an outdoor room to obtain "a stack of wood"
#Purchase 'a piece of flint' from Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower (in the woods north of the area entrance)
#With both required items in your inventory do 'fletch' to create an arrow.

One piece of wood will be used to craft several arrows. One flint equals one arrow.

*'''How many arrows do I need?'''

A lot. Usually somewhere between 300-600 for the AV mobs you can drop with arrows.

So, you'll need to spend a bit of time crafting a bulk of arrows.

*'''How can I automate fletching?'''
Here's just about the dumbest method:

Go to Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower. Buy like 400 flints. Go outside his shop and empty the shop bags onto the ground so you have 400 flints on the ground.

Stand there and spam 20x 'gather wood'. Once complete, drop all the wood you got on the ground. Repeat until you have like 50-80 wood on the ground.

Create these triggers in your client:
#TRIGGER {You fashion an arrow from a crude piece of flint.} {put arrow CONTAINER; get flint; fletch};

#TRIGGER {You attempt to make an arrow, but fail miserably.} (get flint; fletch}

#TRIGGER {A stack of wood glows briefly, then disappears in a puff of smoke from your hands!}{get wood}

Get wood. Get Flint. Fletch.

That's it, that'll run till you run out of flints or arrows or your container is full.

==Firing==
If you are using a standard item container, then you will need to get arrows out from the container into your inventory in order to fire them.

To fire, 'fire DIRECTION TARGET'

Example:
#19 get arrow CONTAINER
#19 fire north yeti

'''Quivers'''

If you have a quiver item, then you do not need to remove arrows from the quiver and hold them in your inventory to fire, you can just directly use the 'fire' command and will automatically use an arrow from your quiver.

There are several quivers around the game, but most are very small. The useful one is from Glimwinkle's Windmill, and is a pop from the Bishop on the Chessboard, and holds 400 arrows.

Example:
#19 fire north yeti

'''Bows'''

Different bows have different distances they can fire, some can only fire 1 room away, some can fire 2.

Bows eventually break.

The bow from Midway is the best bow in the game. (Midway is a carnival area only opened by Immortals occasionally). When its open, go load up on bows.

==Tactics==

Firing an arrow does the damage of the arrow itself, plus your DamRoll.

After hitting a mob with an arrow it will begin moving towards you. When it enters your room it will attack you.

However, mobs cannot chase you beyond their programmed area boundaries, or through rooms flagged 'nomob', or into rooms with a tunnel limit which are filled to that tunnel limit.

Note that mobs can detect you in such rooms, they just cannot ENTER those rooms.

Therefore, the strategy with missile weapons is to fire at a mob and immediately move your character to some room the mob cannot enter. At that point, the mob is still locked onto you and basically clawing at your doorstep, will not wander off, but also cannot enter your room. So he is effectively locked up, and you can fire arrows straight into his face.

Example: The Yeti wanders the Northern Plains. Ping him with an arrow and high tail it down to the southern border with Barren Peaks. Do a lot of scanning along the way to keep an eye on the Yeti chasing you a few rooms behind you! Once he's close to you, step 1 room out of Northern Plains into Barren Peaks. Scry/Scan to make sure the Yeti is there on the border still pursuing you. He cannot cross that boundary. Fire Away.

Note that some mobs can be outright killed with arrows, others should be ALMOST killed with arrows but then KB'd with another character, others can only be somewhat hurt with arrows before they heal. So, archer tactics do vary by mob and range from full kills to just doing an initial phase of injury to the mob.

=Equipment & Align=
Ranger's 'gash' is based on Str+Wis, so dress to max those first and foremost. Then, typically dressed for high HP and high Mana. Usual suspects DR/AC/Luck after that.

*'''Devout:''' Easy to equip, the defacto standard alignment for Rangers.
*'''Neut:''' No real 'need' to be neut with a Ranger that I know of.
*'''Evil:''' More difficult to equip, but just as nice as devout if you can do it.

'''Runs:'''

Rangers (especially Hunters) are able to run most typical mobs, since gash lands on almost anything. There's a wide variety of stuff you can run with a Ranger.

Rangers (along with Druids) are the required class to kill the Timbermaw Magnoth in The Wilds, which yields some very nice gear.

Archer tactics can be used on mobs like the Yeti, Jaeric, Rez, Longinus, and most notably are crucial for Yamata-No-Orochi in Edo, all of which drop useful items.

=Summary=

Within the [[Fighter]] genre, Rangers function very similar to Warriors, and offer a bit more in terms of magical spells, buffs, and spelldowns. Note that because of 'mercuria' Rangers can have 22 dex, exactly like warriors, and get their intrinsic 22 wis as well. So.... in my mind rangers > warriors, but - counter-points: You don't get 'fifth attack', your 'fourth attack' is less adept, and you don't get 'stun', so warriors are technically better at melee-damage and would be more fit for a mob where you rely on melee to do the damage. The gimmicks 'stun' and 'missile weapons' both work on about the same number of mobs, so those kinda outweigh each other. Ultimately you'll need both.

Rangers can tank as well as hit, and do just fine in both roles. Having rescue, they can rescue-tank just like warriors, and the fact that gash lands on almost everything is super useful. The prestige upgrade to Hunter gives a massive increase in Gash damage, plus gets some useful new skills. Overall, Rangers probably the most well-rounded Fighter genre character and are great for tanking, hitting, exploring, and get the missile-weapon gimmick which can drop a few mobs with very useful gear.

**Pugilism - "Blasting, Hitting, Suction, Biting"
**Polearms - "Hacking, Thrusting, Raking"
**Warriors get "Two-Handed" and "Dual Wield" weapon skills

*'''Tactics:'''
**Two-Handed Weapons:
***Warriors commonly wield the two-handed long sword "Nasr, Claymore of Sovereignty". (aka "nasr warr")
***Nasr is a magic weapon that also casts a spell along with each melee hit, dealing high melee damage, affording the warrior time to focus on healing.
**Stun
***The 'stun' skill works on a small sub-set of mobs, and effectively immobilizes them from all attacks/actions for a few rounds.
**Smash
***The 'smash' skill is warriors primary alpha attack. While initially rather weak, the item [https://rodpedia.realmsofdespair.info/wiki/Brutal_Force| Brutal Force] significantly improves smash damage making smash warriors a much more viable damage dealer. Combined with Nasr, warriors can now output more significant damage.
**Rescue
***In combat, rescue makes the rescuer the tank (primary target of the mob). Two warriors rescuing each other can share tanking a difficult mob by simply healing to full, rescuing the other, and repeating back and forth.

=Stun Tactics=

There are not really any tactics with stun, its just a regular combat attack you launch in combat.

*Stun inflicts the Paralysis status for about 4 rounds.
**While stunned, the mob has no attacks, no parry/dodge/etc passive skills. All of your passive melee hits will land, as well as all combat attacks.
**In older SMAUG code, stun success is based on comparing player's Str + Dex vs victim's Str + Dex, this likely is still the case.
*Stun expends movement points to use. When you are out of moves, you can no longer stun.

That's about it. Not much to it. Limited use cases.

=Equipment & Align=

Typically Warriors would dress for high HP as their priority. AC and DR would both be raised as much as possible secondarily. Make sure to keep Str & Dex maxed. Finally raise Lck as much as possible.

*Devout: Easy to equip, the defacto standard alignment for Warriors.
*Neut: Limited application, though there is gear for it out there. No real 'need' to be neut with a warrior that I know of.
*Evil: More difficult to equip, but just as nice as devout if you can do it.

'''Runs:'''
Warriors are a character that gets more and more useful as you develop them:
*Warriors who have obtained [https://rodpedia.realmsofdespair.info/wiki/Brutal_Force Brutal Force] (aka 'smash arms') are much more well suited for dealing damage.
*Warriors who have prestiged gain a lot of oomph as well.

The combinations of smash arms, prestige, and nasr, can make warriors very viable class for a lot or runs.

Warrior are commonly used for things where Nasr lands. I can't think of any specific runs right now.... shows how much I use my warrior. Colossal Humanoid! There's one.

'''Stuns:'''

Stun tactics work on things like the chessmen in Glimwinkles, and a bunch of others I currently forget.

=Summary=
Warriors do not get many fun/interesting skills, and zero spells. Their primary gameplay involves wielding a Nasr and letting it chew through mobs. For significant runs, rescue tactics are useful. Stun is useful although very limited in its application, mostly used for small mobs en route to larger ones, or basic eq gathering. As a 'first character' you won't be doing much 'fun' at all, just basic fighting.

The equipment Brutal Force is almost a requirement for use of a Warrior as an alpha attacker, otherwise Smash is rather lackluster. Brutal Force increased Smash + Nasr is very nice now, and opens up more range of application for Warriors.

As a support character, they function well as a potion mule and to lead your groups of other chars around with good visibility on your surroundings.

Within the Fighter genre, Warrior's heavily overlap with Rangers, aside from the 'stun' gimmick attack. See [[Fighter]] for a comparison within the genre.

***Gash inflicts neither magic nor non-magic 'weapon type damage' (based on your weapon) and therefore mobs do not have any immunity/resistance to it. It tends to hit things that are otherwise immune magic/non-magic weapons.
**Two-Handed Weapons
***Rangers can wear two-handed swords, such as the long sword "Nasr, Claymore of Sovereignty".
**Missile Weapons
***Rangers can use a bow to fire arrows at a mob. This can outright kill a specific subset of mobs, without any active combat at all. Limited application however.

=Archers: Fletching & Missile Weapons=

Rangers are the only class to get Missile Weapons proficiency. Missile Weapons are bows.

==Fletching==
To fire a bow, you need arrows.

*'''How to fletch arrows:''' You'll need wood and flint in order to craft an arrow.
#Use the 'gather wood' skill in an outdoor room to obtain "a stack of wood"
#Purchase 'a piece of flint' from Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower (in the woods north of the area entrance)
#With both required items in your inventory do 'fletch' to create an arrow.

One piece of wood will be used to craft several arrows. One flint equals one arrow.

*'''How many arrows do I need?'''

A lot. Usually somewhere between 300-600 for the AV mobs you can drop with arrows.

So, you'll need to spend a bit of time crafting a bulk of arrows.

*'''How can I automate fletching?'''
Here's just about the dumbest method:

Go to Fhalie in Wyvern's Tower. Buy like 400 flints. Go outside his shop and empty the shop bags onto the ground so you have 400 flints on the ground.

Stand there and spam 20x 'gather wood'. Once complete, drop all the wood you got on the ground. Repeat until you have like 50-80 wood on the ground.

Create these triggers in your client:
#TRIGGER {You fashion an arrow from a crude piece of flint.} {put arrow CONTAINER; get flint; fletch};

#TRIGGER {You attempt to make an arrow, but fail miserably.} (get flint; fletch}

#TRIGGER {A stack of wood glows briefly, then disappears in a puff of smoke from your hands!}{get wood}

Get wood. Get Flint. Fletch.

That's it, that'll run till you run out of flints or arrows or your container is full.

==Firing==
If you are using a standard item container, then you will need to get arrows out from the container into your inventory in order to fire them.

To fire, 'fire DIRECTION TARGET'

Example:
#19 get arrow CONTAINER
#19 fire north yeti

'''Quivers'''

If you have a quiver item, then you do not need to remove arrows from the quiver and hold them in your inventory to fire, you can just directly use the 'fire' command and will automatically use an arrow from your quiver.

There are several quivers around the game, but most are very small. The useful one is from Glimwinkle's Windmill, and is a pop from the Bishop on the Chessboard, and holds 400 arrows.

Example:
#19 fire north yeti

'''Bows'''

Different bows have different distances they can fire, some can only fire 1 room away, some can fire 2.

Bows eventually break.

The bow from Midway is the best bow in the game. (Midway is a carnival area only opened by Immortals occasionally). When its open, go load up on bows.

==Tactics==

Firing an arrow does the damage of the arrow itself, plus your DamRoll.

After hitting a mob with an arrow it will begin moving towards you. When it enters your room it will attack you.

However, mobs cannot chase you beyond their programmed area boundaries, or through rooms flagged 'nomob', or into rooms with a tunnel limit which are filled to that tunnel limit.

Note that mobs can detect you in such rooms, they just cannot ENTER those rooms.

Therefore, the strategy with missile weapons is to fire at a mob and immediately move your character to some room the mob cannot enter. At that point, the mob is still locked onto you and basically clawing at your doorstep, will not wander off, but also cannot enter your room. So he is effectively locked up, and you can fire arrows straight into his face.

Example: The Yeti wanders the Northern Plains. Ping him with an arrow and high tail it down to the southern border with Barren Peaks. Do a lot of scanning along the way to keep an eye on the Yeti chasing you a few rooms behind you! Once he's close to you, step 1 room out of Northern Plains into Barren Peaks. Scry/Scan to make sure the Yeti is there on the border still pursuing you. He cannot cross that boundary. Fire Away.

Note that some mobs can be outright killed with arrows, others should be ALMOST killed with arrows but then KB'd with another character, others can only be somewhat hurt with arrows before they heal. So, archer tactics do vary by mob and range from full kills to just doing an initial phase of injury to the mob.

=Equipment & Align=
Ranger's 'gash' is based on Str+Wis, so dress to max those first and foremost. Then, typically dressed for high HP and high Mana. Usual suspects DR/AC/Luck after that.

*'''Devout:''' Easy to equip, the defacto standard alignment for Rangers.
*'''Neut:''' No real 'need' to be neut with a Ranger that I know of.
*'''Evil:''' More difficult to equip, but just as nice as devout if you can do it.

'''Runs:'''

Rangers (especially Hunters) are able to run most typical mobs, since gash lands on almost anything. There's a wide variety of stuff you can run with a Ranger.

Rangers (along with Druids) are the required class to kill the Timbermaw Magnoth in The Wilds, which yields some very nice gear.

Archer tactics can be used on mobs like the Yeti, Jaeric, Rez, Longinus, and most notably are crucial for Yamata-No-Orochi in Edo, all of which drop useful items.

=Summary=

Within the [[Fighter]] genre, Rangers function very similar to Warriors, and offer a bit more in terms of magical spells, buffs, and spelldowns. Note that because of 'mercuria' Rangers can have 22 dex, exactly like warriors, and get their intrinsic 22 wis as well. So.... in my mind rangers > warriors, but - counter-points: You don't get 'fifth attack', your 'fourth attack' is less adept, and you don't get 'stun', so warriors are technically better at melee-damage and would be more fit for a mob where you rely on melee to do the damage. The gimmicks 'stun' and 'missile weapons' both work on about the same number of mobs, so those kinda outweigh each other. Ultimately you'll need both.

Rangers can tank as well as hit, and do just fine in both roles. Having rescue, they can rescue-tank just like warriors, and the fact that gash lands on almost everything is super useful. The prestige upgrade to Hunter gives a massive increase in Gash damage, plus gets some useful new skills. Overall, Rangers probably the most well-rounded Fighter genre character and are great for tanking, hitting, exploring, and get the missile-weapon gimmick which can drop a few mobs with very useful gear.
