What is the point of this game?

To kill enemies, take their drops, and level up to level 20. Have fun! The bigger goal is to defeat Oryx the Mad God. Oryx the Mad God has put you in his world, where you are food for his minions. The minions protect him and must be kept fed. By defeating the minions, you weaken Oryx's protections. Eventually you will be able to reach Oryx and fight his simulacrum. And then, if you are lucky you will actually face him face to face.

I've just unlocked a new class, how do I change class?

If you do decide to buy an extra slot, the first two are on discount, the first is 600 Gold, the second is 800 Gold, but from there on out they're 1000 Gold per character slot. To change class without purchasing a new slot you must kill or delete your current character. This will return you to the character select screen where you can choose your new class.

What is the maximum level?

20.

Back to Contents

Is there anything to do at level 20?

Yes! You can collect stat increase potions to max your characters stats. Lead groups of adventurers to defeat the Cube God, Pentaract, and other high level bosses. Help others level to 20 so that your group will be strong enough to defeat Oryx. Once you defeat all the bosses you'll open the Oryx Encounter, which is tough, even at level 20.

Back to Contents

What is the maximum for stats?

It varies by character class. See the individual class entries here. Once a stat has reached its maximum, the number will be displayed in gold.

Back to Contents

How do I pick up loot?

Stand on the loot bag/chest and drag the item into your inventory. If you did this during the tutorial, you would've gotten a free defense ring.

Back to Contents

How do I chat?

If you haven't registered, do that first. If you have registered, simply hit Enter, write a message, then hit Enter again. In order to send a private message, or PM, simply hit Enter, type /tell playername (message), and hit Enter again to send. Private messages will be displayed in blue text. Lastly, if you are in a guild, it is possible to send a message to all of your guild-mates by simply hitting Enter, typing /g (message), and hitting enter again to send.

How do I heal?

Some monsters will drop health potions or snake oil or healing ichor. Save these and use them to heal when you need to. Priests, Paladins, and Necromancers can heal themselves and others nearby. Stay in a group with one of these healing classes to get healed. When your health is low, you will flash red, so that they will know that someone needs healing. Priests have instant healing, Paladins heal over a duration, and Necromancers drain the life from enemies to heal their companions. All characters have a vitality stat which heals you over time. Increasing your vitality through the use of stat pots or items allows you to heal more quickly.

Back to Contents

Is death permanent?

Yes. Once your character dies, it stays dead. You're free to make a new character and you may end up doing so many times.

Back to Contents

How do I save?

The game autosaves. Your character is still maintained if you leave and return later. Your character is saved in your Flash cookie. If you wipe or block cookies, it won't be able to save it. If you create an account in the game, you'll be able to save your character and play it from multiple computers, without worrying about Flash cookies.

How do I sell, trade, give away, or destroy my stuff?

You can not sell stuff, but you may be able to trade with people, or you can just drop items you don't want as an alternative: To initiate a trade, click on a character's icon below your inventory slot, click trade, then wait for them to acknowledge the trade. Once they do, click the item you wish to give/trade and click the trade button. The other player then decides which items to trade with you. They can also give you none. This is a safe and effective way to give items away to a specific person without the risk of losing the item to a ninja-grabber which often happens when you drop an item. Before accepting a trade, be sure to check which items you have highlighted in order to avoid accidentally trading items you wish to keep. To drop, drag the item from your inventory onto the main game area. A bag will appear with that item. Others can pick up the item from the loot bag. Left alone, it will disappear after 30 seconds.

Back to Contents

How do I use special abilities?

Every class has one special ability from the item in the second inventory slot. To use it, shift click on the map or press Space. Special abilities use mana, which regenerates automatically (or you can use a magic potion). Stronger abilities use more mana. Your special ability item will darken when you do not have the required mana to use it.

Is there a map?

Every time Oryx is defeated, he destroys the world and creates another. There are roughly 20 randomly generated maps. Brave explorers have mapped out some of the worlds:

Build 104+ maps have not been made yet.
Build 100 maps
Build 68–92 maps

The map generation algorithms are described in these blog posts: part 1:polygons, land, beaches, oceans, lakes; part 2: elevation, rivers, moisture, biomes; part 3: rendering, Flash demo, and source code. Before build 100, this simpler map generation algorithm was used (that page has a Flash applet that lets you generate your own maps).

Where are tougher monsters located?

Monsters levels are usually dictated by the terrain they are located at. Beaches are populated by the weakest monsters. Forests, deserts, and grasslands have the middle level monsters. Rocky (dark gray) and snowy (white) mountains are populated by “gods”. Monsters of all types can wander into other areas, so don't get too careless. Following roads will keep you within the same general level of monsters. Following rivers uphill will take you into the mountains. The wiki has a list of monsters.

What are gods?

It's a blanket term used for the strongest type of monster in the game.

Back to Contents

Where are the dungeons?

Monsters used to occasionally drop keys (see list); shift+click the keys to open the dungeon portal. Now if you want to enter a dungeon you must kill the approriate monsters until one will open or purchase a dungeon key in the nexus.

What are the best pieces of equipment?

Most equipment in the game is classified by tier, which ranges from T0-T12 for weapons, T1-T6 for abilities, and T1-T13 for armors. Due to the existence of UT weapons and armors, one piece of equipment is not always better than the other. These are several "toss-up" items. The Class Guides do a good job of explaining the pros and cons of each on a case by case basis.

How do I teleport?

There are three ways that you can teleport to other players, assuming that they are on the same map as you. First, if they are nearby or if you have locked onto them, you can click their name in the grey box in the bottom-right of the screen, opening a menu which will allow you to choose to teleport to their location or lock onto them so you can always have them displayed in that box. Secondly, you can use the minimap and click on a yellow dot representing a player, which you can teleport from. Thirdly, you can say /teleport [their name]. Some consideration should be observed in using teleportation; low-level players shouldn't whimsically teleport to level 20 players in the godlands, who may be soloing very dangerous enemies and whose game might be disrupted or ended by a careless follower. However, this can be a very convenient way to meet up with friends or get around the map quickly.

Back to Contents

How do you change your name?

First, you must register (i.e. make an account) in the link at the top right of main menu. When you're registered, you may either change your name by the main menu, in the "change name" text below your randomly generated name, or at the yellow knight at the Nexus, by standing on him and clicking on the "change name"below your inventory. When you're done, you now have a unique name. Note: After you've chosen your name, you may only change it again by paying 1000 Realm Gold, which is bought with real life money. It's better to choose your name wisely.

Back to Contents

Why are some names yellow?

These names have been registered through the Name Chooser.

Back to Contents

Why was my name changed?

Your name was probably considered offensive.

With each amount of fame you gain 1 star in that class, and there are 5 stars per class. Once you earn a star, you will never lose it. The current levels of fame to achieve are 20(1 star), 150(2 stars), 400(3 stars), 800(4 stars), and 2000(5 stars).
