Class Info

This page breaks down each class by their stats, gains, attacks, etc.

If you're new to the game, I'd point you towards my Newb Guide for help picking your first character race/class.

Genres

The classes are clumped into 'genres', the 'help genre' output make this very clear:

0) Sorcerer   Augurer, Mage, Nephandi
1) Divinity   Cleric
2) Rogue      Bladesinger, Fathomer, Thief
3) Fighter    Paladin, Ranger, Warrior, Barbarian
4) Aberrant   Vampire
5) Shaman     Druid

These are mostly used for equipment restrictions, which might limit usage to to 'Rogue' types for example.

The genre's MOSTLY also share the same primary statistic, though there are exceptions.

Class Stats

Your class determines your max stats. The help file for each class explains the details of that class.

• Each class has a Primary, Secondary, and Deficient stat.
  • Primary stat = 25
  • Secondary stat = 22
  • Deficient stat = 18
  • Others: 20

The prime stat is kinda the determining factor on the characters usage, so here's a quick reference of that

For more information on each individual stat and what it is used for, see Stats

Class	Primary Stat
Thief, Fathomer, Vampire	Dex
Barbarian, Warrior, Ranger, Paladin	Str
Cleric, Druid, Augurer	Wis
Mage, Nephandi	Int

Here's a table showing each class's max stat values in full.

Note that this isn't related to your 'base stats' that you set at the beginnging of game, this is the maximum values you can attain by wearing equipment and using buff spells.

Max Stats per Class

CLASS	Str	Int	Wis	Dex	Con	Cha	Lck
Augurer	20	20	25	18	20	20	22
Mage	18	25	22	20	20	20	20
Nephandi	20	25	20	22	20	20	18
Cleric	20	22	25	18	20	20	20
Fathomer	20	22	20	25	18	20	20
Thief	20	20	18	25	20	22	18
Paladin	25	18	22	20	20	20	20
Ranger	25	20	22	22	20	18	20
Warrior	25	18	20	22	20	20	20
Barbarian	25	18	20	20	22	20	20
Vampire	20	22	20	25	20	20	20
Druid	20	20	25	20	22	18	20

Here's another way of looking at that data someone else made, I find it a bit more confusing, but it also includes which Deities create a sigil that boots that stat.

The table of realms statistics

Statistics	Primary Statistic (25)	Secondary Statistic (22)	Deficient Statistic] (18)	Deity Sigils

Class XP

Each class has a different experience "schedule" or "xp required" to attain each level.

These are too tedious to document, and really don't matter a whole hell of a lot, but, yes some classes require overall more xp to level up than others. That's often offset by the fact they may gain xp easier, thanks to better attacks, etc, so really I find doesn't matter at all.

Gains per Level

Each class gains a different number of hp, mp, and movement points, per level. These are based on a dice roll with a die of X sides (rng column below)

• You MUST have max Con in order for the chance to attain max hp gains.
• You MUST have max Int in order for the chance to attain the max mp gain
• I have no idea how movement gains work, and it doesn't matter.

HP/Mana Gains by Class

Primary Attacks

At Avatar level (50), these will be your primary attacks.

I've included what is believed to be the primary modifier where known.

Attacks flagged with the * represent "Gimmick Attacks" (see below)

• Augurer: Spiral Blast (HP Based)
• Mage: Quantum Spike / Paradox Flux / Immobilize* / Invoila Magicka*
• Nephandi: Qlippothic Shift
• Cleric (dev): Virtue (CHA Based)
• Fathomer: Vindur Gong
• Thief: Circle (DR Based)
• Paladin: Shieldbash (WIS Based)
• Ranger: Gash (WIS+STR Based), Missile Weapon*
• Warrior: Smash, Stun
• Barbarian: Rend (CON based), Chokehold*
• Vampire: Grasp (INT & DR Based - See 'news 1149')
• Druid: Nadur Dorn (MANA Based - See 'news 1171')

Gimmick Attacks

Some classes get a 'gimmick' attack that works well against a certain sub-set of mobs. Useful still, because they allow you to go do things solo that would otherwise take a group, but these types of attacks don't tend to work on "big" mobs.

• Warrior: Stun - Immobilizes mob for 2-5 rounds, then needs re-applied.
• Mage (Path of Balance): Immobilize - Immobilizes mob for 2-5 rounds, then needs re-applied.
• Mage (Path of Countermagick: Invoila Magicka - Immunity to ALL magic (including healing) for 40ish rds. Works well against pure magic attack based mobs, or to nullify magic attack penalties for ip check violations.
• Ranger: Missile Weapon - Craft arrows and fire them from a room away into a mob.
• Barbarian: Chokehold - Can only initiate a fight, but abusable if you flee, have a friend go do it, round robin, or if you quit/relog you can then redo it.

Notable Notes

Some things you should really know.

• You're going to need every class. The whole game is balanced out so that no class/attack can kill everything. You do need the gimmick attacks too, they make some things so vastly easier than 'the hard way' that nobody even goes and runs those as a group anymore. You should kinda always be leveling more chars in your downtime when there isn't much else going on.

• Clerics get the near gamebreaking spell 'necromantic touch' at level 14 if you are Evil align. This spell not only gets you a literal shit fuck ton of xp per hit, but also sucks life from the mob to you, so you never need to heal. Just buy some mana's, and go necro your face off. This is by far the fastest class to level. You don't ever need to worry about stats or equipment, it's so easy its almost kinda broken.

• Paladins are probably the next easiest to level.

• Cleric's and Mage's have additional "Paths" you can specialize in at level 50. See links:

See: Cleric Path Info & Mage Path Info

Basic Usage by Class

Maybe this is helpful to someone to just have a generic description of each class:

• Augurer: They're our version of a Time or Blue Mage. They suck to level and don't get much fun stuff until Avatar. At AV they have the fastest attack in the game, which is hp based, so they can put out a ton of damage very quickly. They're frequently used for kills where you are hitting behind a Tank and want to put out big damage.

• Mage: Quantum Spike / Paradox Flux / Immobilize* / Invoila Magicka*
• Nephandi: Qlippothic Shift
• Cleric (dev): Virtue (CHA Based)
• Fathomer: Vindur Gong
• Thief: Circle (DR Based)
• Paladin: Shieldbash (WIS Based)
• Ranger: Gash (WIS+STR Based), Missile Weapon*
• Warrior: Smash, Stun
• Barbarian: Rend (CON based), Chokehold*
• Vampire: Grasp (INT & DR Based - See 'news 1149')
• Druid: Nadur Dorn (MANA Based - See 'news 1171')
