gem1Character screen

charscreenEach account allows you to have 4 characters in total. These characters can be either Elvine or Aresden.

To create a new character, click on the “Create New Character” button. Enter your name, and design the character as you want. You’ll also have to pick your starter Stats “Warrior”, “Mage” or “Magician”.

  • Warrior: Generally VIT, STR and DEX as main Stats. These characters are close range attackers. They have high defense since their high strength allows them to use stronger armor. Warriors are generally easier to level.
  • Mage: Utilizing INT and MAG as well as a little DEX and VIT. Mages are distance attackers as their low armor makes them vulnerable to physical attacks. They have a variety of spells for defense and attacking, and can be quite powerful. Mages are slightly more difficult to level than a warrior.
  • Magician: Also called a “Battle Mage“, “Plate Mage“. Although they have the INT required to obtain most spells, their MAG is generally low as they sacrificed this stat for additional STR, DEX or VIT. These characters are incredibly complex and difficult to train as they have balance the statistics while still maintaining a valuable leveling rate. However they make good PvP support characters.

Helbreath also uses Guild Masters as a key part to both Crusades and Sieges. To be a Guild Masters require you need to be a Combatant, and to have 20 charm and be level 20+. While they sacrifice stat points, they play an important part in a Crusade and Siege.

gem2Characters

Each character has six specific points that can determine the personality of the character. As your characters level increases you obtain 3 additional stat points. Each stat point area can range from 10 to 200.

  • STR (Strength): The STR points defines the power of a character.
    The STR points relate to the maximum load you can carry and weight of item you can wield. All weapons have a STR requirement for “full swing speed”. STR also adds s damage bonus to attacks. The higher your STR the better armor you can wear.
  • VIT (Vitality): The VIT Points defines the hit points of a character and the amount that is regenerated. The more VIT you have, the higher you regen and the more effective “Health Recovery” Armor is.
  • DEX (Dexterity): The DEX points define the agility of a character.
    If your DEX points increase, so does attack success and defense rating.
  • INT (Intelligence): The INT defines the intelligence of a character.
    The more INT points you have, the more spells you can learn for both attacking and defense.
  • MAG (Magic): The MAG points defines the magical ability of a character.
    Increase MAG points results in an increase to mana points as well as the amount of mana that is regenerated. The more MAG you have the higher you casting probability is as well as the speed of casting. MAG also gives a a bonus to damage.
  • CHR (Charisma): The CHR points defines the charisma of a character.
    At 20 point CHR or above you are able to create a Guild. Increasing CHR points enables you to buy items at cheaper prices.

At level 180 you can change your Stats by using majesty points.

Misc Info: HP(Hit Point), MP(Mana Point), SP(Stamina Point), and Max Load(Maximum Weight Load) will be calculated with compounding characteristics above.

Max HP = 3*VIT + 2*Level + STR/2
Max MP = 2*MAG + 2*Level + INT/2
Max SP = 2*STR + 2*Level
Max.Load = 5*STR + 5*Level

gem1Items & Leveling up

Each of the monsters within Helbreath give you experience points. The person who gets the last hit, gains the most experience points. If you are in a party the experience points are split between the people in the party. There are a few different type of drops that can appear after a monster dies.

First Drops: When a monster dies, these items appear where the monster once stood. To pick up the item, click on your character while standing on top of them. These drops range from gold to potions, statted weapons and statted armors.

Second Drops: When the monsters body disappears there is a chance at a second drop.

There are the default drops that appear from all monsters such as Zemstone of Sacrifice, Xelima Stones, Merien Stones and Ancient Stone Pieces. Some monsters have a body part that drops when they die, some are used in alchemy while others are used in events.

Monsters also have a chance at dropping unique items including jewelry, special spells and weapons. They are are often worth a lot within the Helbreath community. Be sure to check around prior to selling, trading or using it.
Be careful not to double click a special spell if you find one, as this will use the item.

As you level up and place your stats the monsters you fight will become easier. Different maps have different monsters on them, the harder the monster the more experience you’ll get. Explore the maps and find a place that is good for leveling.

gem2Play Modes

There are a few different play modes that exist within Helbreath.

  • Neutral: You first start out as a traveler, these characters are neutral to both towns and can venture back and forth between the two. Once you reach level 19 you must pick a side in order to continue leveling.
  • Civilians: This mode gives you immunity against the enemy town within selected town maps. While you are a civilian no harmful spells will effect your character when cast by another player. Civilians are not able to invis or berserk other combatant players. It is important while you are a civilian not to interfere with any PvP (Player Vs. Player) action going on as this can be called griefing and end up getting you in trouble. If you see any PvP going on around you, move to another area. This mode is available from when you assign yourself to a town until level 100. Once you reach level 100 you are now ready to be a combatant. If you want to change to a combatant earlier you can go to the City Hall and talk to the NPC standing there.
  • Combatants: Can attack any one and everything as well as go to any maps.
  • Criminals: These are players who have killed another member from the same town. Any one can kill a Criminal. In order to remove the Criminal status the player needs to die the same amount of times as players they’ve killed.
