[edit] Type of Classes
The four type of characters you can be are as follows:
[edit] Transknight
A basic soldier which is male, this class uses melee weapons such as knives, claws, swords, axes, and hammers. These are your basic knights that you can see in every other MMORPG game. There are 2 main types of build for Transknight, Magic Transknights and Trans Transknights. Like in usual games these Trans Transknights have high melee and can tank, because of their high defence. For Magic Transknights have high attack at all times, but in turn they have lower defense than Trans Transknights, as at later stage they can't use shields.
[edit] Beastmaster
These are like Druids which are male, they can change into a werewolf form and can summon beasts to fight and can use melee weapons to fight with. Summoning Beastmasters are usually weak until they can summon a competent monster and are therefore weak at lower levels. When they reach a higher level, they can become one of the most powerful characters. There are 3 main types of Beastmaster; summoner, elemental, and nature.
[edit] Foema
Elf-like Mages who are female, some Foemas draw heavily on magic therefore making them weak in direct combat. A smart way to make your Foemas strong is by putting most of your skills in intelligence which will boost your M.A.P. (magic attack percentage), that way you'll be safely launching off many spells, while your opponents are still trying to reach you. Another way is by putting a lot of skill points in strength. This results in a Foema that is strong in physical attacks. A Foema that uses direct combat attacks and white magic healing spells can help in a long fight. The Foema is perhaps the toughest class to play as, but at high levels, they can be one of the strongest.
[edit] Hunter/Huntress
(Some call them Hunters, some Huntresses.) The second female class, Hunters are known as the ultimate PKers, because they have a powerful weapon that has unlimited fire and the Air Blade an attack that ignores the offenders defense, even the weak hunters can attack the higher level characters. Most people decide to go with the strength, condition, and dexterity build with little to no intelligence. Hunter weapons need both strength and dexterity, while Hunter armor needs condition, so intelligence is not needed at all. Hunters are also great traders; they can learn skills that get them shop discounts and a higher sell price for themselves. Hunters are great for the beginning as they start off stronger than the other classes and if you stick with them, they'll be strong for probably the entire game.
[edit] Growth of Character
The character's level system is separated by two categories; status and skill mastery.
Status consists of four different attributes; strength (STR), intelligence (INT), dexterity (DEX) and constitution (CON) which all aid the player in different ways and also depends on the importance on the class of the character. Each class has their own unique group of skill mastery, depending on which type of build is preferred by the player.
After each level up, 5~20 points are given for use in attributes while 2~3 points are given for skill mastery. These points then can be used to increase the character's capabilities.
| Level | Status Point |
|---|---|
| 1~255 | 5 |
| 256~300 | 10 |
| 301~355 | 20 |
| 356~400 | 12 |
| Level | Skill Point |
|---|---|
| 1~200 | 3 |
| 201~355 | 4 |
| 356~400 | 3 |
The growth of the character is divided into two main stages which are mortal and god; and five minor stages which is known by the color of the cape that will be worn upon completing a certain quest. These capes can be attained after the character has reached levels; 101 (green cape), 220 (blue cape), 256 (blue cape with insignia), 355 (white cape) and 370 (white cape with insignia).
[edit] God Characters
After level 280, a mortal will be given the opportunity to make a god character. After level 280 the mortal character can complete a quest, and after completion of the quest a new character will be made, called a god character. The god character will be level 1. After you have a god, each time you level up your mortal, your god will gain bonus stats. The god character can be any of the 4 classes, but the class of the mortal that made the god will determine the kind of armor the god can use. Gods can use any weapon at any level, and they can wear the armor of the class off their mortal at any level. an example of this is if you have a level 280 mortal and complete the quest to make a god transknight, you will have a mortal 280 and a new character thats level 1. When your level 280 mortal levels to level 281, your god will get 5 status points and 3 skill points. Gods are stronger than mortals because they can allocate their stat point to the stat that increases their attack the most, without having to worry about increasing stat point to meet the requirements of their armor. A level 1 god with 1 dex can wear armor that requires level 280 and 250 dex. By the time a god reaches level 256 it will be stronger than most lvl 350+ mortals.
[edit] Weapons
[edit] Class
Each class has a different set of weapons, but there are a few (like the Slayer Hammer/Cromlea and Bhopal Sword/Lion King) that are shared between classes. Classes need different requirements to use a certain kind of weapon, some being limited to the character's class. There are eight different types of weapons that can be used.[3]
Stat Grading Weapons: You can stat grade weapons by retrieving all 7 Crystals and giving them to the Gold Dragon in a corner of the starting city, Armia. You can change the stat of any weapon that you can wield that have no sheen which are known as "+0" and for non-upgradable weapons.
[edit] Beginner Weapons
In the beginning, you start off with some boots, and a weapon depending on your class (dagger for Transknights and Beastmasters, a bow for Hunters and a staff for Foemas). Your first weapon is easily the worst weapon in the game, luckily you start with two weapons. The second weapon is very strong because you can be at any level and wield it and it is advised to use until the level 50s. In your first 5-8 levels if you put everything in dexterity, you will be able to wield it before level 10. Transknights have an advantage, because they can get the beginning sword and another sword and wield them together. In every E-Games account (not With Your Destiny character) you get 1 free shire horse. As soon as 1 of your characters equip it, a timer starts, and can be rode on for a maximum of 3 days (in-game days). After the 3 days, the horse will disappear and you will no longer have it. Even if it does disappear you can buy it again with the use of "e-points" at the "supreme store" from the Merchant Neil npc.
[edit] Upgrading Weapons
You can "fate" your weapons, with each fate adding +1 to the current + grade of your weapon. Each +1 will boost your weapon's statistics by 10 percent, with the fractions rounded down. For example, a +5 cromlea will have 50 percent more stats than a +0 percent of that same cromlea. Sky fates can bring the + grade up to +6, while the god fate can bring the + grade up to +9. 100% God fate, a.k.a. (No fail fate, +11 fate, Blessed God fate) can be used to bring a +10 item up to +11. This is recommended for high level weapons only, as there is no use to upgrade low level weapons because the higher level weapons will give more damage anyway, although it can be done.
[edit] Items
Items help the player during gameplay. It ranges from consumables to weapon/armor upgrading items. Some items can be special and can not be dropped or traded. Several items have an effect for a period of time (being from the supreme store) either affecting the attributes or other statistics of the player. Here is the complete list of in-game items. Other items are limited to the supreme store and only can be bought at the supreme store or if a player is selling it, via merchant mode.
[edit] Class Items/Slot equips
Any class can use any items used to equip in the side slots. Some items are class-specific or require certain attributes or other statistics to be able to equip it.
[edit] Pets/Mounts
Pets are in-game animals which can support the player during gameplay. There are 16 different pets (10 types of horses) that can be rode upon, that empower the player with; health points, defense, attack, magic attack power (a.k.a. map), evasion and more statistics. The higher level pets (especially horses) can increase the player's movement speed from 4 to 6, 6 being the highest in the game and 4 being the highest travel speed unmounted. Pets cannot attack in Supreme Destiny, they are primarily used for self-support and will take a portion of the attack endued upon by another player or monster. Just like you, pets do need to be fed and this can be done by purchasing the correct food item from the Mount Hunter NPC for the specific pet. From time to time, a notice will appear as an alert that the pet needs to be fed. Along with feeding, the food item will restore a pet's health points and will not increase your own or the pet's statistics. When a player dies, the pet does not die. This revision to the system of the pet dying along with the character was made in patch 7.49. However, if a pet does die due to insufficient food, to restore a pet, the player must meet the Mount Doctor npc at Erion village and pay a set fee depending on the level of the pet. If the pet's life expectancy reaches 0, it disappears and cannot be revived. Pet's too can be levelled. This is done by using "pet essences". However, if the pets life is 5 or below, essences cannot be used. Moreover, when an essence is used to level a pet, there is a certain chance that the pets life will decrease in the range of 0-3.
[edit] Beginning items
When you create a new character, you receive 10 Healing Potions and 2 Mana Potions. While this doesn't seem like a lot, if you talk to the Storage Guard in Armia, you can withdraw a lot of potions in your storage, also any items you find, you are welcome to put them into your storage. Quest items such as Sapphires can be very rare (Sapphires sell for good money for low-leveled characters) and often are hard to find. The easiest way to get one is to buy it from a person, but if that's not possible, monsters drop them too especially in the Erion field area.
[edit] Map
[edit] Armia
In a world devastated by the battle between men and monsters, there's a town where people still gather - Armia. It is surrounded by castle walls and protected by kingdom knights from the monsters outside. All players start their journey in Armia.
Inside the town, there are armor traders, blacksmiths, and warehouse keepers where you can store your items and share it to your others characters in one same account. Also, there are skill masters where you can learn skills appropriate for your character type. The training camp for beginners is located at the east gate.
[edit] Erion
'Erion' was just a camp for adventurers who got tired from their voyage. At that time, because mounts species were not dominant and hunting skills were very simple, they only hunted species like bear, wolf and wild boar. To meet their needs for clothes, food and house, Erion relied heavily from the other town not far from its location.
Mounts were used to aid kingdom's police and they were eventually transformed into special troops. They were also of tremendous help during the war as they were the primary means of transportation. Since then, the demand for mounts increased and adventurers who visited Erion desired to possess mounts for themselves. Eventually, people from over the continent flocked to Erion and soon, the town got bigger and bigger and became more prosperous. Because the trade of mounts in the town was flourishing, hunting monsters and other related stuffs about mounts became Erion's specialty as they supplied the mount feeds, essences and even eggs.
As the town prospered, the citizens of Erion also became more adept in dealing with wild and ferocious monsters. Their skills were harnessed to a point that they begun to hunt the most dangerous creatures that were ever known to mankind: the "Fenrir" and "Dragon". These mounts were so hard to come by and were even branded as the symbols of "death."
Erion does not possess a formidable defensive structure like other big towns but they more than compensate for this flaw with their "mount" system.
[edit] Azran
Unlike Armia, Azran was built during war time. During those dark days, it was not yet as fully developed like Armia. Ruins and landmarks can be seen around Azran which clearly shows that a lot of devastation occurred in this place. Not many plants grew around Azran. There were only old trees and short plants, steep paths and powerful monsters roaming around.
At the north of Azran, there is a Coliseum where battles between players or guilds can be done. There is also a harbor at the eastern part of the town that leads to the Advanced Base Carden found in Nifleheim continent.
[edit] Noatun Castle
"Noatun Castle" was discovered through a hunter's long journey, according to "Athena". If you want to go to "Noatun Castle", you must first pass through "Galt Desert" which is known to be a feral place, and you will have to kill lots of monsters in that desert. Additionally, you should also destroy the tower of "Sephirot", and "Thor", the God of Thunder.
During the heyday of "Noatun castle", the two Kingdoms: "Hekalotia" and "Akeronia" begun to fight each other to get to the "Crown of Athena". Soon, they started to harbor a deep enmity with each other. The fragile peace they shared was broken and they committed the same mistake that their Gods and their ancestors have committed while fighting for ideological supremacy.
[edit] Kingdoms
[edit] Kingdom of Hekalotia
"Hekalotia" means "Country of Horoscope", and some of their citizens view themselves as sons of God. Thus, they have decided to draw a line between God and Humans. "Hekalotians" thought that they should be the one mediating the problem between the "Heaven's world and "Human world".
A distinct characteristic of a "Hekalotian" is their belief that enjoying security is better than possessing the power of expansion because they want to live a stable life.
"Hekalotia" rebuilt the ruined "Sephirah" tree with visions of purifying the "Human's World" from evil monsters. "Harbarad", the king of "Hekalotia, ordered that his newly organized troops be dispatched all over the continents and he called his soldiers the "Warriors of God".
[edit] Kingdom of Akeronia
After the reconstruction, the humans who had come back from the continent and had finished discovering the truth from historical materials and new facts gathered from the records or legend that comes from literature and old book of the "New Era". Human started to study these historical bequests and remains and they soon discovered that the dispute between the 'Heaven's World' and 'Human's World' was not only a confrontation between "Good vs Evil" or "Justice vs Injustice" but simply a dispute between "Heaven's World" and "Human's world" wanting to possess power by claiming the 'Sephirot". Through their study, they realized that there is only one God in existence and they saw the hidden, evil intentions of the people who wanted to become omnipotent.
Because of these developments, the "Akeronians" made a research and they eventually found out the truth through the "Sephirah". They believe that through the "Sephirah", they can maintain the balance between "Heaven's World", "Middle world" and the "Human's world" so that they can continue living peacefully.
The "Akeronian's" goal was to make the balance of power among the "Heaven's world", "Middle World", "Human's world" and this unification become possible through the symbol of power, the "Sephirah". "Glantuart", the king of Akeronia organized some of his finest troops and called them the "Burning Shield of the Apostle".
