1. General infos about your character(s)

• LEVEL: Determines HP, leveling-up gives +2 skill points. These can be assigned to class skills.

• STR: Increases HP and determines overall damage.
• ARM: Increases HP and determines resistance to damage, unless the hit was a CRITICAL roll.
• DEX: Determines the chance-to-hit an opponent. There is always a small chance to hit ANY opponent with a CRITICAL roll.
• MANA: Determines damage from spells damage and number of times you can cast. It also speeds up your MANA regeneration.

11. Stats & Formulas (advanced)

In this section, all stats are explained more detailed. This might be helpful to build your character, but it can also confuse you. To enjoy the game, it is not needed to understand everything here. But we want to be transparent with our game mechanics :)

• XP to gain level L is calculated with L^3 times 15 XP until you reach level 150.
  From level 150, the XP increases by a linear rate and you need (50m XP + 650k times n) XP to reach level (150+n).


• Your maximum hitpoints (no damage received) are calculated with these formulas:
  MAX_HP = Base HP + (LEVEL^1.3)*[5+(ARM*0.5)+(STR*0.2)] until you reach level 100.
  From lvl 100, you gain extra +100HP (Ogre), +90HP (Dwarf), +80HP (Swordsman), +50HP (Archer) and +20 (Mage) each level.
  • LEVEL is the actual level of the character.
  • The attributes ARM and STR are calculated WITHOUT GEAR!


• Your life regeneration is calculate with this formula: Add (0.05*MAX_HP) every 4 seconds.
  • When you walk, there is no HP regeneration!
  • When you fight, there is no HP regeneration!
  
  
• Mages can use spells and details are explained here.
  • A Spell always hits its target(s).
  • Spell effects:
    • Yellow Flow: DMG = 30 + ( 1.5 * MANA) each cast. A single target takes the full damage.
    • Green Flow: DMG = 50 + (2.5 * MANA) each cast. The damage is split over all enemies in range.
    • Heal Spell: HP increases by 50 + (2.5 * MANA) each cast. A mage (level 50 or higher) gets +1 XP for each 1 HP healed himself and +2 XP for healing 1 HP of another player.
    • Armor Spell: ARM increases by 2 + ( 0.1 * MANA) each cast.
    • Slow Spell: Reduces foe's walking speed.
  • MANA is calculated WITHOUT GEAR!
  • 7 spells per second is the maximum spell cast rate (to avoid abuse of auto-clickers).


• Mana points regenerate with a rate of 1 + (max_mana * 0.025) per 5 seconds.
  • max_mana is mana including all items you use (it is the number shown in your backpack).


• The hit chance with melee weapons is calculated like this: If X>0 or your dice_roll was 5, you have a successful hit.
  • dice_roll is a random integer from -5 to 5. So to hit a certain number is 1/11. This number is refreshed every strike.
  • X is a static number, calculated by X = (DEX + dice_roll) - DEX_OPP.
    When your DEX >= DEX_OPP+6, you will always hit this opponent!
    When your DEX >= DEX_OPP+5, you can avoid normal hits. Still, by a chance of 1/11, a critical strike hits you.


• Once, a hit was successful, melee damage is assigned by DMG = max_strength.
  • max_strength is strength including all items you use (it is the number shown in your backpack).
  • If the dice_roll was -5 to 3, ARM_OPP reduces the melee damage.
  • If the dice_roll was 4 or 5, ARM_OPP is NOT reducing the melee damage.


• The time, one melee attack takes, is (1000 - [WEAPON_SPEED - 4] * 100) milliseconds.
  • Every weapon has its one WEAPON_SPEED. Click on the weapons for details.
  • Example: With WEAPON_SPEED=7, you hit every 700ms = 0.7 seconds:
    1000 - [7 - 4] * 100 = 1000 - 3 * 100 = 700.
