The Warrior's Teachings
| Teaching | Focus |

The two teachings have different skills and should be considered separately.

| Stomp | offensive Mental skill |
| Sword Strike | offensive Mental skill |
| Violent Strike | offensive Mental skill |
| Strong Body | defensive Mental skill |
| Sword Circle | offensive Mental skill |

Champion-Level Skill
Earthquake is a Champion-Level skill of the Warrior and should be considered separately from the basic skills of the Body and Mental teachings.
Teaching and Skill Levels
From level 5 onwards, a teaching can be chosen. After that, skill points are invested in the skills of the chosen direction.
Skills develop over several levels:
- Normal
- Master
- Grand Master
- Perfect Master
In addition, there are supplementary skills such as counter skills and boost skills. These belong to further character development.
Warrior Weapons
Warriors use swords and two-handed weapons. With Warrior weapons, teaching, level range, base values, upgrade level, sockets and possible bonuses count.
| Weapon Type | Significance |
|---|---|
| Swords | Warrior weapons for melee combat |
| Two-handed weapons | Warrior weapons with different combat orientation |
When choosing a weapon, the interaction of weapon, skills, spirit stones, bonuses and upgrade level counts.
Warrior Armour
Warriors wear their own class-specific armour. This armour increases defence and is bound to specific level ranges.
Important properties of Warrior armour are:
- required level
- defence value
- movement speed
- number of sockets
- fixed additional values
- possible additional bonuses
- upgrade level
- possible further development
Earlier armour has lower requirements and fewer customisation options. Higher armour has stronger base values, more sockets and sometimes fixed additional values.
Warrior Helmets
Warriors can wear their own class-specific helmets. These helmets differ from helmets of other classes mainly in name, appearance and origin. The basic properties are comparable across classes for helmets of the same level. An exception is the bonus properties of level 80 helmets. Helmets cannot be improved with ore or spirit stones.
Important Warrior helmets are:
| Level | Warrior Helmet | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Traditional Helmet | early Warrior helmet with defence |
| 21 | Iron Helmet | Warrior helmet for lower level ranges |
| 41 | Ghost Mask Gorget | Warrior helmet with higher defence value |
| 60 | Fear Mask Gorget | Warrior helmet with blocking |
| 80 | Steel Hood | Warrior helmet with unconsciousness |
| 96 | War Master Helmet | higher-level Warrior helmet with extended upgrade levels |
| 100 | Dragon Helmet | Warrior helmet with attack value and magical attack value |
| 100 | Dragoon Helmet | Warrior helmet with resistance to skills |
| 120 | Snake Helmet | higher-level Warrior helmet with random additional bonus |
With Warrior helmets, the required level, defence value, fixed additional values, possible bonuses and upgrade level are most important. Unlike weapons and armour, helmets have no spirit stone sockets. Therefore, they are not improved via spirit stones, but through their base values, fixed properties, bonuses and upgrades.
Sockets and Spirit Stones
Warrior weapons and Warrior armour can have sockets. Matching spirit stones can be inserted into these sockets.
| Level Range of Item | Sockets |
|---|---|
| up to level 20 | 1 socket |
| level 25 to 42 | 2 sockets |
| from level 45 | 3 sockets |
Spirit stones improve the item by the respective value of the stone. The spirit stone must match the equipment type.
When inserting a spirit stone, the attempt can fail. Then a stone fragment remains in the socket. A stone fragment gives no active bonus and blocks the socket. The socket is not fully usable again until the stone fragment has been removed.
Bonuses on Warrior Equipment
In addition to base values, sockets and spirit stones, equipment pieces can have additional bonuses. These bonuses are a separate improvement level.
| Bonus Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Weapon Defence | Sword Defence, Two-handed Defence, Dagger Defence, Bell Defence, Fan Defence |
| Resistances | Arrow Resistance, Magic Resistance, Lightning Resistance, Wind Resistance, Fire Resistance |
| Character Values | Max HP, Max MP |
| Absorption | Damage is absorbed from HP, Damage is absorbed from MP |
| Combat Values | Attack Value, Spell Speed |
| Defensive Effects | Chance to reflect melee hits, defence chance against claws |
Fixed values of an item and additional bonuses are different properties. An item can have its own fixed values and additionally carry further bonuses.
Upgrade and Development
Warrior equipment can be expanded through upgrade levels. Depending on the item, certain values increase.
With higher equipment pieces, an existing item can also serve as the basis for a new item. There are two different processes:
- An existing item is upgraded.
- An existing item is further developed into a new item.
Depending on the process, bonuses and spirit stones can be handled differently. Therefore, before major upgrades, you should check which item is being used, what materials are needed, and what happens to existing bonuses or spirit stones.
Important Basics for Warriors
With the Warrior, the interaction of several areas counts:
- chosen teaching
- matching skills
- swords or two-handed weapons
- matching Warrior armour
- level requirements
- sockets and spirit stones
- fixed values and additional bonuses
- upgrade level of the equipment
A Warrior is not determined by a single skill or a single equipment value alone. The combination of class, teaching, skills and equipment is important.
