Four vocations

Classes

Pools, elements, weapons and the off-hand rule - the four shapes of risk.

Every class has health and mana, and every class can reach the last level. What differs is how a trip is paid for: how smoothly it goes, how much of the backpack the supplies eat, and what an unlucky hour looks like. Pick a shape of risk, not a number.

Knight

Physical

Mace and shield, the largest health pool and the deepest backpack. Cheap trips, slow experience and the most predictable hours in the game - a blocked hit is a whole hit that never happened.

Holy

Physical

A bow at range, holy and physical damage, balanced on every axis. The only class that carries ammunition: a third supply in the pack and a third cost to manage.

Energy

A two-handed staff, fire and energy, the fastest experience in the game - paid for in mana potions. Fragile by design: defence is armor alone, so every trip is a bet with a known price.

Earth

A one-handed rod, ice and earth, lower upkeep and slower experience. The strongest self-healing of the four, and a real choice in the off-hand: a shield to survive or a crystal to heal faster.

Bars compare the four classes at L150; the numbers under them are the line each pool follows from level 1.

Pools, level by level

A pool is a straight line: a base at level 1 plus a growth per level that is a property of the class itself. Health is the buffer that absorbs a bad streak, mana is what the spell book spends, and carry is how many hours of supplies fit before loot has nowhere to go.

The off-hand rule

Only Knight and Druid use the off-hand slot. The bow and the staff are two-handed, so Paladin and Mage carry nothing in the second hand at all - their defence comes from armor and from not being hit.

Blocking is a whole hit removed, not a percentage shaved off it. That is why the shield classes read as steady and the two-handed classes read as fast and sharp.

Who can wear what

Two different questions, and the armory answers both for every piece. A piece belongs to a class set - the gear built for that class's profile - but the equip gate is wider: melee weapons are open, so a paladin may swing a mace if they want to. Armor comes in a heavy line (Knight, Paladin) and a light line (Mage, Druid); jewellery and backpacks fit everyone.
