Raime

NPC CS: Adventurer

'It's probably not that dangerous.'
- Raime, on a level 90 Raid Pre-Apocalypse

*Name:
Raime Juren

Username:
Raime

Age:
27

Race:
Human

Class and Level:
Paladin Lvl. 90

Subclass and Level:
Holy Warrior Lvl. 85

*Guild:
Silverfall - Guild Leader

Personality:
Raime is the leader of the Guild known as Silverfall; an adventuring/combat Guild. As a result, Raime has advanced knowledge of the game, and excels at leading groups of people. He is highly respected among members of his Guild, and other Guilds also due to his powerful position, and his tactical capabilities. However, his personality is the complete opposite of his appearance. Despite his position as Guild Leader and his intimidating armour, which he is seemingly unable to take off, Raime is actually a joker, lenient, excitable and has a very good sense of humour. Many people who have recently joined Silverfall are actually surprised at this, as they assumed that he would be ridiculously strict and orderly. Raime is also quite understanding, and can easily forgive if a person is truly sorry for what they've done. Even so, the Guild Leader is not above punishing his members, and for such situations, he has the 'Ultimate Fist of Judgement'. A weapon designed as a joke. It is a giant rubber fist on a stick. Because it is a joke weapon, it originally did no damage, but since the Apocalypse, it became possible to actually feel the pain of being hit by it.

Members of the guild now fear this dreaded weapon, as it does not count as combat due to the lack of damage, meaning the Royal Guard cannot intervene.

Race:
Wolf Fang

Class and Level:
Swashbuckler Lvl. 90

Subclass and Level:
Pathfinder Lvl. 90

*Guild:
Silverfall - Assistant to the Guild Leader

Personality:
Tui is considered to be one of the more responsible members of the Guild, and is orderly and straightforward as a result. Because of her role as the Guild Master's assistant, she is constantly trying to restore and maintain order in the Guild. Tui has to consistently remind Raime of his role as Guild Leader, and try to control his spontaneous nature. She is prone to providing more sane courses of action, in contrast to Raime's own more reckless ones. Despite her stoic and orderly nature, she can actually be quite easily influenced should enough people try to persuade her. Although one may not believe it, Tui does have a sense of compassion, and is glad to be apart of Silverfall.

Much like all members of Silverfall, she fears the Fist of Judgement, but is hardly ever on the receiving end of it.

Standing tall, and built with near rock-hard muscle, people thing that Aarin is the type of man that gets things done immediately. Those people, however, are wrong. Aarin is a brash, egotistical megalomaniac who is extremely lazy. In fact, the reason why he doesn't wear a shirt is because he's too lazy to find one in his pile of clothes he keeps. Although these flaws, he does do one thing right: He is extremely good at forging weaponry and armour. He is considered the best adventurer blacksmith in the Western Europe part of Elder Tale (which doesn't help with the entire megalomania deal)

While everyone considers her nice, she has a strange aura around her. Not one you can see, of course, just one that you can feel. It always seems that Nuna is talking shit, but no one actually hears her speak that way. Everyone around her just (mostly) ignores it and treat Nuna as a sweet young girl.

Currently the only available guild is Silverfall. More guilds will eventually be added, for story reasons and/or in the event that we decide to open up this RP to a large number of people. For now, it's Silverfall or guildless.

Silverfall


Originally a small - medium sized combat/adventuring guild, Silverfall was founded while Elder Tale was at the peak of it’s popularity, and due to the already large number of guilds in the Western European server, Silverfall remained a small guild. Although this came with the benefit of the guild members knowing each other quite well. Together they had taken on a few dungeons and reaped their rewards, although this was when Elder Tale was still a game. Since the Apocalypse, Silverfall have been attempting to understand and stabilize their current situation, by doing jobs for Lander Nobles and regular People of the Land.

---

Reforge


Reforge was once an extremely small guild of blacksmiths renowned for their well forged weaponry. Primarily a production-like guild, Reforge had no place in actual combat. Only two members had were logged on during the apocalypse, so Reforge is on the verge of being disbanded.

People of the Land
People of the Land or ‘Landers’ can be utilized for a number of things including the purchase of food, items, clothing, and can be spoken to for quests. What forms these types of quests take are up to assumption, but escort and monster hunting quests appear to be present.
Following the apocalypse, the number of People of the Land increased by five or ten-fold, but they still remained weak compared to players, and if they chose, players could use their superior strength to take their belongings or their lives. Furthermore, instead of just being seen as NPCs, the People of the Land now have memories, feelings and even their own histories, making them far more human than before.

There are powerful People of the Land like the Royal Guard and the Ancients. Normal People of the Land can also get stronger and level themselves up. However, their rate of improvement is about 1/4 that of Adventurers and the highest level they can achieve is around 60 or so. Even the strongest of People of the Land knights are still no match against a single Level 90 Adventurer. Only by donning the Mobile Armor of the Royal Guard, is a Person of the Land able to defeat most high-leveled Adventurers with ease. However, due to the armor's restrictions of fighting only within a city's borders and its dependence on the city's magic circle, this is a limited advantage at best.

Royal Guard
The Royal Guard are powerful entities within the game of Elder Tale that are charged with maintaining security and public order within cities and safe zones. They appear whenever a fight breaks out in these places, and if the players involved don't stand down, they will either be killed or taken away to a jailhouse. Guards are actually special level 100 People of the Land who gain their high levels through their Mobile Armor. The Mobile Armor suit is able to boost a Person of the Land's level up to around 90 - 110, strong enough to defeat most Adventurers with relative ease. The suit can also provide its user with night vision suited for night patrols.
The suit's large size makes it almost impossible to move without the assistance of a large magic circle found underneath player cities; that same magic circle also prevents monsters from entering the city. Due to the fact that it relies heavily on the magic circle for power and movement, the armor is limited to the city's boundaries, and the armor's user cannot fight Adventurers or monsters outside of the city. Any separate "zones", such as guild halls and Inns, are also inaccessible to the Royal Guard because it is not covered by their teleportation system. Furthermore, as the suit is not designed to take damage, it does not boost its user's recovery rate.

The Royal Guard, while in their mobile suits, are capable of teleporting anywhere within Player City walls. However, these suits can only be used within those walls due to the giant magic circle underneath the ground that allow for its movement. All Royal Guards are around level 110 in order to be capable of putting down violent Adventurers. Royal Guards are capable of monitoring the actions of Adventurers and People of the Land, but not their fellow Guards. All Guards' actions are deemed to be enforcement of security, and so any Guard that strays from their normal duty won't be detected. The Royal Guards wields any heavy melee weapons.

They appear as black, armored knights wearing long black capes, wielding either a battle-axe or sword. Some Guards are also seen dual-wielding their weapons. They teleport from a ball of blue light and float in mid air whenever players in cities or safe zones are about to fight. The Mobile Armor donned by the Guard are a legacy of the now-extinct Alvs.

It seemed that the Royal Guard are seemingly the only ones not affected by the Apocalypse, possessing almost no personalities or backgrounds unlike the other Landers. This changes when the Lander removes their armour.

Ancients
Stronger than Adventurers of an equivalent level, most are apart of the Thirteen Chivalric Orders, groups of ancients which oversee the protection of their designated server. The Knights of Alvar, the order designated to the Western European server, has vanished since the Apocalypse. Although this is a secret in which only Lander Nobles are currently aware of.

Monsters

Monsters are the creatures that roam the world of Elder Tale. They live almost anywhere and attack those who dare to venture their path. A threat to the People of the Land, monsters are the main enemies of the Adventurers and a source of their income, experience and items. Most monsters leave meat or skin behind, while Raid Boss monsters drop equipment and valuable items. After the Catastrophe, though, Adventurers found that fighting them was much more difficult due to the physical and mental strength required. Monsters had little-to-no intelligence, however, making them easy to outsmart and control. However, it should be noted that monsters are gaining intelligence, beginning to use battle formations and training their members. Raid Bosses also refuse to remain in their respective zones, and will now wander around, and can team up with other Raid Bosses to kill adventurers more efficiently.

Monster Ranks
Monsters are divided into different ranks depending on their difficulty.

Normal Rank
Most monsters belong to this rank. Designed to be easily defeated by Adventurers of the same level with simple skills and store bought equipment, these monsters are perfect for 1-on-1 fights.

Party Rank
Monsters of this rank can be found mostly in dungeons. The Party Rank can be further divided into different ranks. These are Party x2, x3 up to x6. The number represents the Adventurers of the same level needed to fight the monster on equal terms. For instance, a monster with the rank of Party x4 would require four Adventurers of the same level.

Raid Rank
Raid rank monsters can usually be found in the deepest parts of large dungeons and at the end of highly difficult quests. Similar to Party rank monsters, monsters of the Raid rank can be further classified into four: x1 up to x4. A x1 rank needs 24 people in a Full Raid while a x4 rank needs 96 people in a Legion Raid.

Minion Rank
Monsters summoned by other monsters with Summoner techniques belong to the Minion rank. The lowest ranking monsters, monsters of the Minion rank are only two-thirds as strong as Normal monsters.

Prior to the apocalypse, Adventurers logged onto Elder Tale and played online via PC. However, ever since the Apocalypse, Adventurers now experience the world literally, and can interact with the environment as though they are physically there. One of the main difficulties that Adventurers have encountered was the use of in-game menus during combat -- specifically that accessing these menus is impractical while in the heat of battle, but it has been recently discovered that you are able to create voice shortcuts in order to use your abilities.

Another difficulty encountered is the change of perspective. Adventurers now have to fight in first-person view versus the original rotatable camera on a PC monitor. Adventurers now have both visual limitations and blind spots, this is especially true when fighting in dark areas or against large monsters such as Raid Bosses.

In addition, it is also possible to feel pain whenever a player's avatar takes damage. It is commonplace for player avatars to be cut, bruised or even bleed. Wounds like these do go away over time, with the use of healing classes or passive regeneration.

It should also be noted that character's may use their skills anywhere in the game, and fighting outside of towns was a common occurrence before the Apocalypse. Fighting and killing Adventurers is still a feature, but attempting to fight within safe zones will cause the Royal Guard to intervene and kill the instigator.

As with all MMORPGs, it is completely possible for Adventurer's to die when their HP falls to 0. Luckily, a dead Adventurer will resurrect at the cathedral of the last town they had entered. This can prove troublesome if you are travelling to a different town and die before reaching it, as you will find that you are back where you originally began your journey.

Despite this ability of resurrection, dying is not without it's drawbacks. Though no player on the Western Europe is currently aware, dying results in gradual memory loss. However, this is a minor loss, and it would take many, many deaths for this drawback to take a noticeable toll.

---

The Stat System

Currently in place to balance the combat aspect of the RP is the stat system. Created by three bumheads (You know who you are) with way too much time on their hands, the stat system is what decides the strength of your character. All races start with base stats, and classes take away from, or add to these stats to decide the strength of each of your character's attributes. It should be noted that while the stat system is displaying numbers, the numbers are actually approximations e.g Having a 1 for HP does not mean you have 1 health point. It means your health pool is simply very low. In addition, this stat system does not apply to monsters, as it would be much easier to just treat them as any other enemy in an RP.

Stat List

Level (Lvl)
Technically considered a stat in the sense that it also controls combat. As you level up, your prowess increases. A level 10 Guardian with a very high HP stat would likely have less HP than a level 90 Sorcerer with a very low HP stat due to the level difference. This rule applies to every stat.

Hit Points (HP)
Health. This is the stat which determines how much damage you can take before dying and resurrecting at the cathedral. Hit Points can be replenished through the use of health potions, or healing spells. Hit Points also passively regenerate, albeit slowly.

Mana (MP)
Mana is the resource which every Adventurer must use in order to use spells or abilities. Mana passively regenerates, and can regenerate faster for magic-oriented classes such as the Sorcerer or Enchanter. Most abilities and skills cost mana, and when it runs out, you cannot cast any spells or abilities until it rises again.

Strength (STR)
Strength is the stat which controls how much damage you deal when using weapons which are strength based, such as hammers, greatswords and axes. A higher strength stat increases the damage you deal with such weapons. Strength weapons tend to be slow in comparison to dexterity weapons, but will more often than not hit much harder. Strength weapons also tend to deal blunt damage, or slashing damage.

Dexterity (DEX)
Dexterity controls how much damage you deal to enemies when using weapons which require finesse or skill. Weapons such as spears, rapiers and bows fall under this category. A higher dexterity stat allows you to do more damage when using these types of weapons. Dexterity weapons are considerably faster than strength weapons, but tend to do less damage as a result. Dexterity weapons also tend to do piercing/thrusting damage, and some may also do slashing damage, as many swords can fall under either the strength or dexterity category.

Physical Defence (Physical DEF)
Physical Defence can help make a Adventurer resistant to damage from non-magical weapons.

Magic Defence (Magic DEF)
Magical Defence is similar to Physical Defence, but instead of making a character more resistant to physical damage, it makes Adventurers resistant to anything that isn't physical damage. Be it fire damage or dark damage, Magic Defence provides resistance to it all.

Intelligence (INT)
Intelligence, the stat which determines a Adventurer's magical power. A higher intelligence stat equates to stronger magical damaging abilities. This stat is more oriented to the Magic Classes of Elder Tale.

Willpower (WIL)
Willpower is the stat which decides a Adventurer's healing capabilities. High willpower stats equals a stronger heal. Healer Classes will use this stat the most.

Agility (AGI)
Agility is everything that has to do with movement and evasion. A higher agility stat gives Adventurer's a better chance at counterattacks or evasion, and can help to increase their movement speed.

In Elder Tale, you are able to choose both a combat class, and a subclass. There are currently over 90 different kinds of subclasses to choose from. Unlike regular combat classes, a player is able to change their subclass, as long as they are willing to lose all abilities and EXP that came with said class. Subclasses can be organized into three different types: Production, Role-Playing and Titles.

Production Subclasses

Production Subclasses are subclasses which allow players to create and craft items. There are many players who prefer crafting items to aid their comrades over fighting monsters or exploring dungeons. Many guilds dedicate themselves to producing items and are important pillars of Elder Tale's economy. It is fairly easy to learn a production subclass. One just needs to buy an instruction manual from People of the Land and can start accumulating experience points.

After the Homesteading the Noosphere update, items that were unavailable in the game prior to the update can be created by players with appropriate subclasses and with high enough levels.

Artisan
The Artisan subclass enables players to work with precious metals and gems. It is possible to switch to this subclass by purchasing an Artisan handbook from an NPC in one of the town zones.

Artisans are able to create intricate jewelry and other decorative items.

Alchemist
As its name suggests, an alchemist is basically a researcher who studies the magical effects of elements and chemicals upon people and other things. Alchemy is the subject of transforming one element into another, also known as transmutation. One of the most famous of all transmutations is the ability to transform base metals such as lead into gold.

Blacksmith
Blacksmiths can produce items out of metal including armor and weapons. A player can become a blacksmith by purchasing an instruction manual from an NPC in a town zone. Normal blacksmith skills include the forging and shaping of iron and other crude metal alloys, in order to produce swords, shields and other metal weapons and instruments.

Blacksmiths are also the only subclass which allows a player to repair equipment for allies and themselves.

Brewer
As their name implies, a brewer's main occupation is to create alcoholic beverages and seasonings.

Chef
The Chef subclass allows the player to create food by combining ingredients via the in-game command menu. After ten seconds, the desired food item will appear and will look identical to its real-life counterpart.
After creating the food, players can sell it to NPC merchants, who in turn can sell it to other adventurers. Under this system, the food must always be made with the same ingredients, and no matter who cooks it, the food always ends up having the same appearance and taste.

Mechanic
As its name suggests, this subclass deals with the construction and maintenance of machines.
In the medieval world of Elder Tale, a mechanic's skills is limited to relatively simple machines and constructs such as levers, wheels, pulleys and such.

Pharmacist
A Pharmacist is able to create potions from ingredients which can provide different effects to those who drink them. Pharmacists typically create Healing Potions and MP Potions, however, some have taken to creating potions which can temporarily empower a player’s stats.

Tailor
Tailor subclass enables a player to be able to manufacture items out of cloth and leather. The types of items that the player is able to produce varies by their skill level but are known to include armor and aprons

Woodcrafter
The Woodcrafter subclass enables players to create a variety of wood items from raw ingredients.

Role-Playing Subclasses

Instead of creating and crafting items, players may choose role-playing subclasses. Some are known to give additional stats or other benefits, while others are primarily for entertainment value and are considered as a joke or gimmick subclasses.

Accountant
The Accountant subclass grants the player a bonus when conducting business transactions or negotiations with other players and NPCs in the game Elder Tale.

Advertiser
Self-explanatory.

Animal Trainer
The Animal Trainer can tame and domesticate various animals including taking care of them. Certain animals can assist their owners in combat. Domesticated animals act as pets, and can follow the owner around until killed. Animals tamed this way cannot be killed unless they are in combat.

Apprentice
An Apprentice is able to register another player to be his/her teacher. Though unpopular due to it lacking a "unique" skill set, an Apprentice is able to copy the low- and mid-level skills of his/her teachers' subclass and receives experience bonuses making it easy to level. Furthermore, when an Apprentice chooses to switch to another subclass, the skills that he/she learned pertaining to that subclass is carried over along with all the experience gained during the player's time as an Apprentice.

Aristocrat
An aristocrat is basically a member of the nobility and is normally a People of the Land. As such, he or she is a landowner and is either involved in politics, business or the military.

Assistant
Assistant is a subclass meant for immersion, and comes with no benefits.

Berserker
The Berserk subclass is intended for combat, and comes with many combat-oriented abilities and bonuses. In combat, Berserker can attack enemies head-on in a nearly-uncontrollable battle rage, making this subclass good for a purely offensive strategy.

Border Patrol
Border Patrol provides strong defense and offense in combat and takes heavy damage from foes, always holding ground as long as possible until victory or defeat.

Butler
A Butler is another role-playing class, much like the Assistant. The Butler is tasked in serving a master in every need and always loyal to him/her.

Carpenter
A Carpenter is much like a construction class, but much more limited. It allows for the creation of wooden flooring only.

Chindon’Ya
A joke subclass, it provides little benefits to its bearers. In fact, the only skill it provides is the ability to bang on drums really loudly and make a lot of noise while walking.

Cleaner
Unlike the Housekeeper subclass, the cleaner subclass is purely for role-play, and does not provide benefits.

Courier
As its name suggests, the role of the courier is that of messenger and delivery man. He or she can also be crucial for communication when telepathy is not possible, especially among the People of the Land.

Courtesan
Using its historical connotation rather than its modern suggestion, Elder Tale Courtesans often act as escorts to nobles and are able to influence them politically or even economically.

Dairy Farmer
The Dairy Farmer's main duty is to raise cows and collect milk from them to be made and sold as dairy products, such as whole milk, cheese, yogurts, etc.

Dancer
The Dancer, before the Apocalypse, allowed access to many different dances. After the Apocalypse, this subclass was turned redundant because of the change in controls.

Farmer
The Farmer allows for the creation of farmland, and allows users to grow plants and get more product per harvest.

Fisherman
As the title suggests, a Fisherman's main job is to catch fish for food. Basically he is like the Hunter, but uses a more passive means for catching his prey, such as using fishing rods, lures and nets.

Food Fighter
The Food Fighter allows players to have a grand gourmet’s sense of taste, an iron stomach (which comes with an immunity to poison), and the ability to consume food faster. Food Fighters are also able to taste food created with the in-game menu as if it were real food.

Fortune Teller
The Fortune Teller allows players to “bless” other players with slightly increased experience, drop rate, health regeneration, etc.

Harvester
The Harvester allows players to harvest wild plants and a Farmer’s crops to get more ingredients than the average player.

Herbalist
Herbalists have the ability to make Herbal Remedies from various ingredients.

Hitman
A subclass for those who enjoy hunting. Other Adventurers are able to give you targets to kill. A Hitman is able to tell what city a target is in, but not the exact location. Outside of safe zones, Hitmen gain a considerably accurate pinpoint of a target’s location.

Killing your target earns you rewards, but dying in any way before killing your target makes you lose said target, forcing you to find another hit.

Housekeeper
The Housekeeper subclass enables a player to clean a dwelling with relative ease. They can level by brooming, drying, washing, wiping, or cooking.

Hunter
Hunters hunt down monsters for their ingredients. They have skills to help them doing so, such as tracking scents.

Knight
Someone with the Knight subclass can use any melee weapon and a shield in battle.

Maid
A roleplaying subclass which can learn low level skills from the Chef, Tailor, Farmer, Brewer, Dairy Farmer, Housekeeper and Herbalist subclasses.

Merchant
Merchants receive a price advantage during negotiations and bargaining. They trade and sell valuable items and artifacts for profit.

NEET
A joke subclass. A NEET is unable to learn any skills, or gain any EXP. Their health regenerates astronomically while doing nothing, though.

Pathfinder
Pathfinder lets a character earn more loot when monsters are killed and the ability to detect nearby enemies. Another role of the pathfinder is as a guide to a group, occasionally being able to locate alternate paths on a journey which are safer, or have better loot.

Physician
A Physician can tend to the person's wounds and ailments with his/her medical abilities and expertise.

Poison User
Most poison users use poison on their weapons through various means. Assassins, for example, can coat their kunai with poison so that if he/she is able to cut the target, they are instantly injected with the toxic substance. Poisons come with a variety of effects, ranging from body weakness, paralysis or death.

Scholar
As its title infers, a scholar is basically a researcher and historian. His main duty is to collect data and perform studies on various topics.

Sigilmaker
The Sigilmaker (Sigilmancer in certain servers) allows players to create magical glyphs infusing their own spells into a compressed form. This allows for a weaker, and single-use version of that spell.

Storekeeper
The Storekeeper is in charge of the guild hall's storage room, checking on every available supply for the guild's daily needs.

Swordsmith
The Swordsmith is a derivative of the blacksmith, specializing in creating swords. Because this subclass is difficult to level, there are few high-level Swordsmiths around. As a result, their skills are highly valued.

Tracker
As the name implies, the Tracker subclass gives players additional skills that allows them to track other players or foes, erase their presence or move in the dark. Though these skills are useful, they are seldom used thus the subclass is in the middle in terms of popularity. Skills belonging to this subclass, combined with the Assassin class, allow the user to easily dispatch enemies without them knowing.
Trackers are also useful for Hunter-types to find game or ingredients.

Undead Hunter
The Undead Hunter's role is to hunt down and annihilate the Undead with his/her holy weapons. They gain a damage advantage on vampires.

Vampire
Like in legend, Vampires are weakened in daylight but are given various buffs during nighttime. Although they can still travel in daylight, they tend to avoid it.

War Priest
A player with the War Priest or Holy Warrior subclass can replace some Warrior-class skills with Healing-class skills.

---

Titles

Titles are a special type of subclass that can only be unlocked by players after completing a specific task or equipment. Some are considered legendary due to the limited amount of players who can acquire them and have already been acquired by famous players since the start of the game. They are known to grant abilities that will benefit players in and out of battle.

Congrats if you actually decided to read all the way down here. Note that you are allowed to create your own subclasses, but it is recommended that you talk to one of the GMs about it before you do.

Warrior Classes

Guardian

Guardian

The Guardian class boasts the highest defensive stats of all of the 12 classes. As a result, this class is almost always on the front line. A Guardian’s duty is to draw attention away from other party members and absorb large amounts of damage without falling. Guardians are able to equip most types of weapons and armours, but most will normally choose heavy plate armour, a good shield and a one-handed weapon, as it suits the Guardian’s battling role.

Sadly, Guardians to not do much upfront damage, and require good gear to be effective, which is a weakness for the class.

Paladin

Paladin

Noble knights who protect the weak with an assortment of inspiring prayers and holy magic. Similar to Guardians, Paladins fight at the front lines of the battlefield, and take most of the hits in the place of other party members. Paladins use an assortment of minor self-heals and Area of Effect spells to sustain themselves and protect allies and combat multiple enemies at the same time. Although these AOE spells are not targeted, and are instead a set distance around the Paladin casting the abilities. They also tend to not deal much damage, but do things such as stun adversaries temporarily.

Much like Guardians, Paladins are unable to deal a large amount of damage during the course of a fight due to their abilities focusing on mass disruption of enemy ranks. They also require decent gear to be effective. Paladins also tend have long cooldowns on most of their abilities. Due to their healing ability, Paladins are slightly less resilient against damage overall in comparison to the Guardian.

Monk

Monk

While Monks have the highest HP stat of all of the classes, they are restricted to lighter armours such as cloth, and are unable to equip shields. In comparison to the other Warrior classes, Monks have the lowest defensive stats. Despite this, Monks have high resistances to special attacks, and an even higher evasion rate, which allows Monks to still be effective in combat.

Skills acquired by Monks tend to have short cooldowns, meaning Monks are able to constantly attack on the battlefield. Some of the abilities come with additional effects if used in a predetermined order, giving the Monks diverse and powerful offensive options in comparison to the other Warrior classes. Despite this, a Monk’s Mana Pool is actually fairly small, and monks have to be cautious to not completely deplete it in a short amount of time.

This class is popular amongst solo players in Elder Tale.

Weapon-Based Classes

Assassin

Assassin

Assassins are known and feared on the battlefield for their ability to do ridiculously large amounts of physical damage in a short amount of time. Assassins capable of wielding a very large variety of melee and ranged weaponry, and may also dual wield swords and daggers to deal even more damage in a shorter amount of time.

On the other hand, Assassins have a severe lack of defensive skills, and may only equip cloth or leather armour. This class does not use shields, and instead relies on evasion to protect themselves. Assassin abilities also tend to have long cooldowns, as burst damage is key.

Swashbuckler

Swashbuckler

The masters of dual wielding. Swashbucklers are experts at fighting multiple targets at once, and can even be considered the best defender among its weapon-based brethren classes, having more HP and defense in comparison. Unlike Assassins, who rely on burst damage to kill targets, Swashbucklers specialize in unleashing combos and continuous chain attacks for longer streams of damage. As a result, Assassins are a better choice for fighting a single target.

Swashbucklers tend to have abilities which deal Area of Effect damage, meaning they can take on multiple enemies at once. Quite a few of their abilities can also have status effects to cripple groups of enemies also. In cases such as these, Swashbucklers can deal as much DPS as an Assassin.

Vanguard

Bard

Bard

Wandering musicians who empower allies with varying melodies. Bards use Song Magic, allowing them to provide a constant, permanent buff to allies until cancelled. These songs can greatly increase a group's’ combat prowess and are easily stronger than an Enchanter’s buffs, however, they have an extremely long cast time, and only one song can be played at a time. A Bard must have good coordination and planning in order to maximise their presence on the battlefield. Despite focusing on music most of the time, Bards are also able to equip weapons such as bows and swords.

Bards lack many offensive abilities, meaning they are reliant on a party to do well. High level bards are able to play two songs at the same time, and can have a maximum of 15 different songs.

Healer Classes

Templar

Templar

Righteous Healers who fight until they reach the brink of death...and then continue fighting regardless. Templars have the innate mastery over both life and death, and can sway the tides of battle with quick decision making and good management of their abilities. Templars have shielding abilities which become stronger based on how much health a target is missing. These shields can have varying effects, such as an area DoT shield, or a shield which absorbs a set amount of damage before releasing it in an area as magical damage. Shields with effects such as these however, do not scale with missing health. Templars are slightly more durable than the other healing classes, and can be closer to the front lines, but they are not truly suited to participating in all-out combat as a front-liner.

Being a healing class, Templars lack many offensive abilities, and may have trouble against classes which are combat-focused. They may also be the target of Assassins, who will bypass the missing health bonus Templars have by killing low health targets before they can even react.

Druid

Druid

Masters of slow regeneration. A Druid’s deep bond with nature allows them to have powerful regenerative healing magic. Of all of the twelve different classes, Druids are able to achieve the highest rate of HP-per-second recovery with their ability to stack different regeneration spells.

Druids are also considered to be the most balanced of the healing classes, being a combination of both offense and defense. Their magic revolves around the forest, meaning that Druids fighting inside of a forest will receive bonuses and slight advantages against enemies.

However, the Druid has the weakness of being a MP consumer. Their spells drain their mana pool at a fairly fast rate, meaning that a Druid cannot fight for an extremely long time. As a result, Druids must always be paying attention to their mana pool, and try to conserve their mana usage.

Exorcist

Exorcist

Spirit Mediums who support allies by removing or controlling threats. Exorcists have the least potent heals of all of the Healer classes, but make up for this by being able to disrupt enemies, and augment other healers. Exorcists have the ability to “banish” targets - including themselves, from the battlefield and into another plane. This prevents them from taking any action, including dishing out and receiving damage for a short time. Banished allied targets tend to return with restored MP, but it is a relatively minor mana restoration. Banished enemies sometimes take different forms of damage on their return, but this tends to be mediocre damage. This class tends to have trouble soloing anything, and requires a team to be effective.

Exorcists are also able to purge allies of random debuffs, and provide temporary immunity to debuffs - a unique trait among Exorcists. However, these abilities have long cooldowns, and should be used carefully.

Mage Classes

Sorcerer

Sorcerer

Specializing in tapping into the power of the elements for fierce and powerful spells, the Sorcerer has the highest magical damage out of the twelve classes and is essentially the magical counterpart of the Assassin. Utilizing the different attributes of offensive magic, the Sorcerer has a richer variety of Area of Effect damaging spells compared to Weapon-based classes, making it an extremely versatile class. However, this class suffers from low HP and defense and can easily die in a few seconds if attacked. Normally, a sorcerer is more of a support fighter and likened to long-range artillery. They are not meant for front-line combat unless the sorcerer is well-defended.

It should also be noted that through the use of subclasses, Sorcerers can become more oriented to a specific element and become much more proficient at it, at the cost of weakening their other elemental abilities.

Summoner

Summoner

Summoners have the magic that allows them to summon mystical beasts or spirits. There are over 100 different types of creatures that can be summoned. However, in order to prevent the class from being almighty and omnipotent, the maximum number of summoned creatures that a player can summon at any moment is twelve. Some high-level beasts can only be summoned at special locations after completing their specific quests.

Summoners themselves have extremely low HP and defense stats. However, due to the wide variety of creatures that can be summoned and the ways these creatures can interact with other beings and the environment, a Summoner's role within a party can include offense, healing, or support. This inherent flexibility makes it an extremely popular class among players, including solo players.

Summoners can generally be categorized into four sub-specialties: Elementalists, Necromancers, Puppet Masters, and Beast Tamers.

Rear Attack

Enchanter

Enchanter

Among the twelve classes, the Enchanter has the highest MP stat. However, its offensive damage in terms of both specialized spells and melee is extremely low, making it inherently a support class. Its defensive stamina is also very low, making it an unsuitable class for solo play and the least popular class in Elder Tale. Some players say that the class is one that exists in concept but that they've never actually encountered an Enchanter in the game.

Enchanters are usually able to stay in combat for long periods of time because their spells consume MP at a slow rate, and they generally support other party members, rather than engaging directly in combat themselves.

Enchanters are an extremely versatile class that boasts a rich repertoire of spells at their full disposal. These range from buffs that raise the combat prowess of party members to spells that add status effects to enemies. Still, due to the Enchanter's extremely low offensive and defensive capabilities, it is nearly impossible for an Enchanter to finish a fight alone.

Humans
The most common within the world of Elder Tale, and the most popular race chosen by players. Humans in Elder Tale have balanced stats, are easy for beginners, and have many customization options, making them popular among players in Elder Tale.

Elves
‘A long-lived race that is found among forests and ancient ruins around the world.’

Another popular choice among Elder Tale players, the Elves are well-suited to roles revolving around archery and have a distinct advantage over other races when it comes to the willpower-related stats. Most Elves resemble humans, and can only be differentiated physically by the fact that Elves have long, pointy ears.

Dwarves
A diminutive race with a short, stocky build. Dwarves are exceptional at Fighter classes and smithing and boast high magical resistance along with larger pools of stamina compared to other races. They are easily identifiable due to their height, which tends to range from 100cm to 140cm. This can prove troublesome for people who chose the Dwarf race, as they have to deal with being much shorter than usual.

It should also be noted that female Dwarves tend to look ball-shaped and plump, rather than stocky and muscular.

Half-Alvs
Despite the fact that the Alv race was wiped out by an ancient war, they commonly bred with Humans. As a result, Human families occasionally give birth to Half-Alvs due to Alv genes still being inside of the gene pool. They are strikingly similar to Humans physically, and can only be told apart because of the mysterious emblems found on the tongue of a Half-Alv. Half-Alvs have a high magical affinity.

For some reason, Half-Alvs receive storyline bonuses when doing campaigns or exploring dungeons.

Werecats
One of three types of beast-men races, Werecats are feline in appearance and in characteristics. They have high dexterity and heightened senses. They lack feline tails, but do have cat ears and facial fur. This race is popular amongst cat fans; some going as far as to have Werecat-only guilds, excluding other races.

Wolf Fangs
Another beast-men race. Chosen commonly by dog-loving players, Wolf Fangs are humanoid creatures with thick hair, and wolf-like features. Unlike Werecats, who always resemble humanoid cats, Wolf Fangs normally appear as Human-like in appearance. During combat, they may call upon their wolf characteristics to gain large strength boosts. They also gain golden eyes, wolf ears and a tail.

Fox Tails
The third beast race. Unlike their physically enhanced wolf and feline counterparts, Fox Tails are magically adept. To offset this, all Fox Tails will randomly lose a skill/technique/spell from the main class list when levelling. This feature makes the Fox Tail race slightly less popular among Elder Tale players.

Race of Ritual
Currently the most mysterious playable race. It has immense magical power which can surpass the Fox Tails, and houses a great deal of knowledge. All members of the Race of Ritual have tattoo markings naturally etched into their bodies. These tattoos are dubbed ‘Runes’.

It is rare to see anyone play as the Race of Ritual, as they also have an extremely low health pool.

Alv
The Alv is a race with high intelligence and magical latents. They were well-known as an inventor of magic. Nonetheless, their birth rate was very low, resulting in having a small number of population which invited other races to destroy them.

Other races including Human, Elf, and Dwarf first raided the Alv for their magical knowledge and items, followed by them attacking the Alv themselves using their superior numbers. The Alv subsequently became slaves for trading, and some were violated and gave birth to children which are currently known as the Half-Alv.
Six Scrapped Princesses were parts of this slavery but pampered like gemstones due to their beauty residing in 6 different countries. They were the masterminds behind the war between the three remaining races to avenge the destruction of the Alv, leading to the high number of casualties estimated to be about the current number of the Elder Tale population. When the Six Scrapped Princesses were found out and about to be killed, the first World Fraction occurred, creating demi-humans. Monsters.

This race is extinct, and is not playable.

It is recommended that you have watched Log Horizon's first season or more in order to understand this RP. This is not a requirement though, as I think we might have enough information in this thread to give one a good idea of how this RP will work.

"As of today, Elder Tale stands as the largest and most popular MMO in history. Originally a simple American MMORPG created by Atharva Inc, Elder Tale quickly grew in popularity, and now has a massive playerbase. As the game grew in popularity, more servers were created in order to accommodate players from different regions, making Elder Tale a fully-global MMO. The Japanese server alone has more than 100,000 active players who have created over 1,200,000 unique characters.

However, during the release of Elder Tale’s twelfth expansion pack - Homesteading the Noosphere, several hundred thousand players on every server who were logged in at the time of the update found themselves trapped inside of the game. This event became known as the Apocalypse."

This RP takes place 3 ingame days after the Apocalypse, on the Western European server rather than the Japanese server. As a result, many things have not yet been discovered, such as how to make food with actual taste. It also takes place in a different land than on the Japanese server, with different locations, and different dungeons. Naturally, the guilds will also be different, and this story follows the tale of a single guild’s adventures (and misadventures) in Elder Tale. Because of a lack of information about the European server, this RP will involve some creativity and some worldbuilding. There is also likely going to be a player limit, as this RP will likely be difficult to control if there are too many people.

All in all, this Roleplay will follow an adventurous, player-built story. Sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted, with a few comedic moments thrown in between.
