Chapter 1 - Creating a Character

“A name, a form, a spark of will — every legend begins with creation.”

Notes -

  • Sample Character Creator
  • Appearance: Purely cosmetic—no game play impact.
  • Gender: Identical stats & points. Some gear has male/female versions (e.g., Robes vs. Skirts, Helmets).
  • Weapon Damage: Different weapon types calculate damage based off of different stats —plan ahead! [Weapon mechanics breakdown]
  • PvP: Toggle anytime post-creation. Leave OFF as a newbie.
  • Build Ideas: [Beginner-friendly builds]
