So I finally decided on a name for the page! Also, I am strongly against the use of hyphons between words such as this, so please do not get used to it. This will not, after all, appear in my actual story!

Without futher ado, I bring you the in-game information. Little snippits of info about playing the game you may become curious about or decide to use for reference.

End Online World Map

***************************************************

Item, Skill and Quest Classification:
white – ordinary
orange – rare
blue – unique
green – epic
purple – legendary
gold – divine

These classifications are different from the standard from of rankings. They are not at all related to the difficulty, but instead used to classify the rarity.

The rarity of a quest is defined by how many people the quest is available to. Whether it is available to every single player (White), has a condition or two to aquire (Orange/Blue), or it is only available to a few lucky individuals and has strenuous conditions that must be met, and once completed, can never be accepted again (Purple)

Items and skills can indeed be viewed as rarity = strength, with a few exceptions such as a skill which is simply rare and difficult to acquire.

***************************************************

End Online Kingdoms
There are three kingdoms in End Online, each starter city being the capital of one of them. You can not leave your kingdom until you reach level 50 and get your kingdoms mark appears on your right hand.

Iceridge – Kingdom of Glace (10% of players start here, symbol is a running wolf in a ring)
Well known for being the region of ice, inhospitable conditions and constant freezing weather. Players don’t like starting here, most delete their character and restart in a new kingdom

Grenton – Kingdom of Forste (30% of players start here, symbol is a tree in a ring)
The kindom of nature, exotic trees and forests with rumours of tribes of elves hiding away, most people who enjoy magic start in this city.

Swordbreak – Kingdom of Dalbe (60% of players start here, symbol is two swords crossing in a ring)
The most renowned starter city, currently overpopulated and most people have difficulty levelling from the lack of free space in hunting grounds and exorbitant prices over a lack of supplies. It is however the home of martial arts with a giant Colosseum that players can fight each other in various competitive matches. Most players dreaming of fame and glory start in this city

***************************************************

Purchasing Skills:
Skills can be gained from certain quests, but most people purchase beginner skills from the confessional box outside the churches, can be done at any church and only costs experience levels. However each additional skill you buy the cost will gradually increase, can not be reset

1st Skill – 1 Lvl
2nd Skill – 1 Lvls
3rd Skill – 2 Lvls
4th Skill – 3 Lvls
5th Skill – 3 Lvls
6th Skill – 4 Lvls
7th Skill – 4 Lvls
8th Skill – 4 Lvls
9th Skill – 5 Lvls
10th Skill – 5 Lvls

***************************************************

Stats and what they do
Lvl – Player level, affects maximum hp, mp, stamina. You do not gain and extra stat points on level up, they must be physically earned (Fighting monsters will generally slowly raise your stats over time)
Str – Strength, determines maximum carry capacity (Str * 10lbs) and maximum damage with a weapon, bear in mind the amount of damage bonus is in proportion to the weapons strength requirement and will also have a limit (A rusty sword is not going to cut off a dragons head no matter how strong you are)
Agi – Agility, determines maximum movement speed. Attacking an enemy at higher speeds will negate defence for bladed weapons while blunt weapons will cause knockback and/or stun. Does not increase reaction speed
Dex – Dexterity, determines skill with attacking and blocking. The higher this skill the more the game system will correct attacks/parries/blocks
Int – Intelligence, determines damage done by magic and chances of inducing status effects via magic. Also effects various skills based on knowledge
Mnd – Mind, the players mental strength, mainly for resisting negative status effects and the strength of concentration (Don’t have your magic interrupted). Magic resistance up to a small amount is also gained at high levels. To have resistances the Mnd must be higher than the attackers Int stat.
Lck – Luck, how lucky the player is. Effects all random chances, at extremely high levels can potentially cause an enemy to trip on their feet, stumbling an attack.

***************************************************

Agility and Speed
All characters begin with 10 points in agility, equivalent to a speed of 1.00, or a top speed of about 25km/hour if running. For every point in agility the player speed is increased by 0.05.

A player with agility: 100 would have a speed coefficient of 5.5, top speed at 137km/hour (Bear in mind this kind of stat is normally incredibly hard to get to.. by standard means)

As you can imagine a player with speed 200 would be quite fearsome.

The deadliest attribute to speed however is the lack of needing to accelerate and decelerate, an agile body can reach top speed in under a second and stop just as quickly

***************************************************

Types of Skills
Skills are defined into two types.

Active – Skills that require certain triggers, such as casting a spell or activating a sacred art.
Passive – Skills that give active bonuses at all times and do not require anything to be utilized.

***************************************************

Religion and Religious skills
You join a religion via a contract between you and the diety/god where upon you swear to uphold your ‘Belief’ in them. The diety/god then imparts a small portion of its power onto that player. This is why a player cannot recruit another player, as they cannot give a portion of that power which is not theirs.

A person granted the power of their god is given a ‘Religious Skill’. Although this appears as a normal skill, there are two differences:

1. They are soul bound, and cannot be unequipped while you are a part of that religion/faith

2. They do not level up by conventional means. The skill level of these skill are equivalent to 1/10 of your ‘Belief’ stat. Rounded down. (Unless it is below 10 and above 0, then it is rounded up)

Your gain ‘Belief’ in your religion/god when you complete quests extended to you by your church/god. Any acts that are against your religion will result in a drop in your ‘Belief’. A ‘Belief’ of 0 will result in your religion’s skills becoming invalid and unusable. You may also potentially be excommunicated.

‘Belief’ is the same as what other games call ‘faith’. ‘Belief’ is the numerical value indicating how strong your connection with your religion/god is. The stronger your ‘belief’, the stronger your religion/god endowed skills are.

One person may only belong to one religion at a time. However, it is possible to leave this religion and join another.

***************************************************

Fame and Infamy

When a player begins playing the game, they will have a neutral stance with neither fame nor infamy. As they progress through the game and complete quests, take certain actions, that value changes.

A player saving the daughter of the mayor or slaying some beasts troubling a village would naturally be thanked and talked about by the citizens in a positive way, causing them to gain fame. Vice versa, a player kidnapping the daughter of the mayor, or accepting the quest but ignoring the beasts troubling the village, would gain infamy as the citizens talk about their ill deeds. Intimidating NPCs will also lead to the gain of infamy, as they will talk about how scary person X was and that they should be careful around them.

Fame and infamy do not have separate values, but one altogether number. Someone being infamous can be said to have a negative fame, while someone famous can be said to have a negative infamy. They are two opposite ends of a scale where each action taken will lead you towards either end.

The more fame/infamy you gain the growth rate and penalties change. The greater the infamy, the faster it will grow. The greater the fame, it will start to grow moderately faster but infamy penalties will become greater as well. As it is said, it is much easier to be a devil compared to a hero.

***************************************************

Mana and Stamina

Mana and stamina are not given to everyone. In order to have mana you are required to have a skill that has the ‘Magic Force’ effect, and to have stamina you need a skill that has the ‘Fighting Prowess’ effect. The amount of mana or stamina you have however, is completely dependant on your player level.

There are different stages of these effects and may sometimes have additional stages to them, where the effect has a + 1 or + 2 attached to it. This means that the skill is still exactly the same, only more potent. While being level 100 with the standard ‘Magic Force’, you might have 500 mana, compared to being level 100 with ‘Magic Force + 1’ where you have a total mana capacity of 620. Please note, these numbers are only being used as an example for this situation.

***************************************************

Player Killer Status

The player killer status is acquired when a player A kills player B, and will appear as a large red skull covering the players back. There are some mechanics to this. first of all, in order for player A to get the player killer status he must land the first attack. If player B is the ‘Aggressor’ in this situation and lands the first attack, player A will not receive the player killer status from killing player B. If player A was to attack a player in a formal party, any member of the party can defend and kill player A without receiving the player killer status.

There are many tactics used when player killing such as working in concert with a friend, who is not in a party with them, and tricking player B to attacking the third person and becoming an ‘Aggressor’ towards them who can now kill the original target. The other popular con to player kill is to have player B join player A’s party. Player A can then attack a third person, causing the entire party to become an ‘Aggressor’. The attacked player can now kill player B without any detrimental effects. These are the most common methods and can be referred to as the ‘Third Party Strategies’.

For every player that a player kills, they will receive ten hours of in game play time with the player killer status. By killing three players, they must play for thirty hours in order to remove this status effect. Killing the NPC guards in any settlement will result in a total time of twenty hours of the player killer status per guard.

When a player has the player killer status, they will not only be hunted by the NPC guards and attempted to be detained for murder, but the detained time will be triple the amount of time as a player killer that player has accumulated. Fortunately, you are not required to be online to pass this time.

Any player can kill someone with the player killer status without any negative effects. In addition, they have a higher chance to drop any equipped items and pay a higher stat penalty when reviving. Death does remove the player killer status.

***************************************************

Magical Elements and their Relations

All the magic in End Online can be broken down into their respective elements. The base elements are fire, earth, water, wind, light, and dark. None have any particular “super effectiveness” over the other, like in pokemon. No matter the element, choosing the correct spell and casting it efficiently is the key component to coming out on top.

An example of this would be, if a fire ball and a ball of water were shot at each other, they would cancel each other out. The water extinguishes the fire, and the fire evaporates the water. Many may contend as to which happens first and be deemed the weaker, but the question of, “What came first? The chicken or the egg?” Has been going on since the discovery of magic and has no end in sight.

There are also many sub elements of magic, caused my skill evolution and skill combinations, but telling those would be a spoiler.

***************************************************

Training stats

The growth in stats is done by ‘exercising’. That is, stats naturally grow the more you rely on them. This causes an even growth in stats when travelling and fighting monsters/players, as the stats you use the most will grow to reflect that. All stats will eventually peak off where raising the levels becomes increasingly difficult.

Doing various tasks will cause the stats the grow either faster or slower.

Strength is trained by undertaking cumbersome tasks, such as wearing heavy armour, wielding heavy weapons, and trying to overpower your opponents with sheer force.

Agility is trained by moving, running, or dodging enemy attacks.

Dexterity is trained by using a weapon or conducting crafting. Anything that requires skill, or a steady hand will increase this skill.

Intelligence is trained through the practice of casting spells. Stronger, higher levelled spells will effect this more. Reading any books will also train intelligence.

Mind is trained by receiving and actively resisting magical attacks or de buffs that are not cast by the player themself. There is no other method to train it.

Luck is trained by being lucky. This can be done by any form of gambling or by simply being lucky, such as narrowly escaping a trap by pure chance.
