When you create a character in Arkhon Online you make two choices: your race and your class. They do completely different jobs.
Race: look and side
- There are three races: Human, Orc and Elf.
- Your race decides your character's look, the castle you start in and which side you fight for.
- Race has no effect on stats or skills. An Orc Warrior and an Elf Warrior are mechanically identical.
- Items have no race lock, only a class lock.
Classes
- Warrior: a tough front-line melee fighter.
- Assassin: an agile class played either up close with daggers or from range as an archer with a bow.
- Mage: area damage with fire, ice and lightning spells.
- Priest: healing and support, plus punishing spells.
Every race can pick every class.
Assassin: daggers or bow?
The Assassin brings two play styles together in one class:
- With daggers: a killer who gets close, strikes fast and deadly, and hides in the shadows. The Assassination and Shadow branches build this style.
- With a bow: an archer who rains arrows from a distance. The Archery branch holds the archer's skills.
You choose your path as you spend skill points, so four classes give five different ways to play.
Stat and skill points
- You get 3 stat points per level. A single stat caps at 255.
- Skill points start at level 10, 2 per level.
- The level cap is currently 80.
- Resetting stats and skills is free up to level 30. After that the price grows with your level, so new players can experiment freely.
Note: the game is in development; values may change during beta testing.
