Introduction

Beginner Adventurer is easy to play, melee or ranged fighter

Playing difficulty

The Adventurer is appropriate for beginners. Adventurers are young and inexperienced, but full of enthusiasm and energy.

They took up the swords left by their fathers, filled themselves with courage, and set off to find their first adventure. They hope that in the future they will become a legendary hero sung by bards in taverns and sung by historians.

Special: 1. This class has an extra free job transfer times; 2. When changing jobs from Adventurer/Apprentice, the free transfer times will be lost!

Main class orientations

This is supposed to be a guide, that separates the Adventurer into the four main ways of playing and explains where to pay special attention to. It's not meant to be the ultimate guide or the one and only way to play a Barbarian, depending on the group you are in other things may be important! A mixture of the four ways is just as possible.

There is no wrong way, just another, and all can be successful.

The Tank

A tank is the backbone of his group. If he falls, normally the whole group falls. So your primary goal is to keep standing on your feet by all means. The group must provide sufficient healing and pushes that increase the parries.

The Thrower

Basicly there are 2 ways to play a throwing weapons Barb. A defensive one, especially suited for the first 10 levels and an offensive one that is more useful in the later levels.

The Ranger

Same but with bow and crossbow


Detailed information on the orientations

The Tank

Description

A tank is the backbone of his group. If he falls, normally the whole group falls. So your primary goal is to keep standing on your feet by all means. The group must provide sufficient healing and pushes that increase the parries.

Melee defense (Dodge Blow): 2 x Dexterity + Agility + 2 x Dodge Blow
Ranged defense (Dodge Missile) 2 x Agility + Perception + 2 x Dodge Missile
Magic defense (Magic Resistance): 2 x Willpower + Intelligence + 2 x Magic Resistance
Social defense (Oxen Stubbornness: 2 x Willpower + Charisma + 2 x Oxen Stubbornness

Be aware that parries for magic and social attacks are not available before level 19 and 20 and they are exceptional skills, so they get expensive fast. Without support from the group one will not really be able to block in those disciplines. Though the parry for ranged combat is only a secondary skill, it's possible to make a decent throw with the help of attributes.

As a matter of principle... if you don't accomplish to parry an attack, you should manage to stay in a range where you have enough armour to get over it, which means to avoid good and critical hits. The group should definitly support you concerning social parries. Here it doesn't matter how the enemy hits you, once he hits you, the mali are upon you, which means a deduction of parry in most cases. As blocker you should also have a lot of healthpoints, in case you get hit several times in a row. If a parry skill isn't available, the standard parry is used.

Advantages / Disadvantages

Advantages:

  • you protect the group
  • not too timeconsuming

Disadvantages:

  • hardly any offensive capabilities
  • you have to take many blows, your equipment as well...

Attributes

Strength: for HP and requirements.
Constitution: for HP, disease defense and requirements.
Intelligence: for item requirements.
Dexterity: most important Attribute for melee defense.
Charisma: for item requirements.
Agility: main attribute for ranged defense, second attribute for melee defense. Possibly skill even higher than Dexterity.
Perception: secondary attribute for ranged defense.
Willpower: for social and magical defense.

Note - if it costs less than primary roll attributes, you should raise the secondary ones 2 times, so the roll gain is the same.

Skills

Dodge Blow as high that you won't get hit (consider attribute costs)
Dodge Missile as high as possible (consider attribute costs)
Magic Resistance later goal should be at least rank 10
Oxen Stubbornness later goal should be at least rank 10
Brawling increase to 6, when Dodge Blow is at rank 13
Axemanship increase for item requirements (Same with Crushing Weapons or Swordsmanship depending on the weapons you use)
Acrobatics at least rank 1 (rank 10 is advisable later on, when costs for DB and DM are too high), but better rank 4 or rank 8 and use it in preliminary round
Eagle-Eye perception boost.
Use Throwing Weapons nice additional debuff with poisoned weapons.
Reaction for additional actions.

Skin of wood, Stoneskin, Ironskin may be increased, but it's not necessary, higher than rank 4 is not recommendable. That goes for Obsidian Skin as well, higher than rank 3 is not advisable.

If your group supports you with sufficient mana, you can also increase Battle Cry. Thereby you lower your opponents attack, which is the same as a higher parry.


Items

Boots of agility

Items of vitality

Helions amulet of minor healing or Helions amulet of healing

One sided comb

Concerning medals, you're best suited with the best oak leaf and two shamrocks


Regarding your weapons, observe that they don't have a malus on parry, like e.g. the War Axe. Instead take a weapon without parry malus, like e.g. the Broad Axe. The weapon should have the suffix "of nimbleness" or "of dexterity" and the prefix "quartz". Of course the same is true of swords and crushing weapons, here you'll have a wider variety of choice. In the left hand you should carry a shield, a hand axe of dexterity/nimbleness or a brawling item. The shield increases your armor and adds to your ranged defense (Attention! You keep on blocking using DB), while the Brawling item lowers the cost for Brawling and they are available with suffix like "of agility" or "of dexterity" as well, e.g. cloth strips of agility. The hand axe provides bonus on attributes as well. If you've chosen one of the dwarven races (more later on), you have the ability to use minerals. Recommendable are small gwindle, small topaz and small elbait, later on the large variants of course.

Disadvantages:

  • Less HP in comparison to other Barbarians, conditioned by choice of race and attributes
  • Less damage in comparison to other Barbarians, at least until you get the gift of deadly precision (throwing weapons)
  • Less possibilities to push the own attack and defense
  • No mass-attacks

items =

Both have high damage and mali for the enemy, whereas hariettas mali are only interesting for mages. Both have high fame requirements though.

As belt you should wear your trusted loincloth, e.g. good loincloth (orc skin)

Rings of dexterity, strength, agility and perception (or others) are always a good thing to have, the higher the bonus the better.

Around your neck a Helions amulet of minor healing is recommended, or in case of lack of mana a Helion of regeneration. Later on, the bigger variants are getting interesting.

Advantage:


   * attack many opponents at once
