“All the people of Akarra begin their journey as commoners, living their lives in peace, performing everyday duties. The mundane know a little of everything, but need to specialize if they want to become more advanced in an art.”
Start as a Mundane, then take a path: Fighter then Warrior, Neophyte then Cleric, or Apprentice then Wizard.
Apprentice, then Wizard
Then Mage, Necromancer or Warlock. planned
Then Healer, Monk or Naturalist. planned
Then Knight, Thug or Weapon Master. planned
Tiers three and four: 28 more classes, from Knights to Druids, open in the next phase of the remake. planned See every class
Player fights are part of life in Akarra, but a town is not the place for them. Here is what happens when someone turns on the innocent in the middle of Hope.
Hope GuardAttacking anyone unlawfully raises your flag, a minute for every blow. You can also raise it yourself with /flag on: it stays up until you lower it with /flag off, and its timer runs on after that.
Strike anyone in good standing inside Hope's guard range, player or townsfolk, and every guard nearby turns on you at once, whatever your record.
Fall to the guards and you wake in the gaol on Greyrock Isle, to serve a sentence your deeds have earned. planned
Lowmarket keeps a looser law. Its enforcers don't care what you did elsewhere, but they cut down anyone who fights inside, so even criminals can trade and bank there. It lies down a hidden stair in the Wraith Woods; bring a torch.
Group up in a fellowship and take the roads together. Members near a kill share its experience, and the coins it gives are split evenly across the whole fellowship, wherever each member is.
The wilds run from level-0 rabbits around Hope to level 100, where a Fire Elemental can appear among the Iwid of the Eastern Gate.
Learn professions from scrolls sold by the townsfolk: Holger, Hartmut and Arno in Hope, Eckard and Rupert just outside it, and Alera in Rimsin Forest. Today you can skin what you hunt, forage, cook at the campfires and have the townsfolk craft for you.
Mining, logging, fishing, farming and smelting ore into bars at a forge, once their nodes, plots and furnaces are placed in the world. planned
Banks sit at the heart of Hope, behind its guards, and in Lowmarket. They hold five times what your pack can, for no fee.
