Hero System

Revision as of 11:57, 18 March 2013

Back to Game Mechanics

Allows player to acquire Hero Status, gain Hero skill points, acquire the ability to level above 50, the ability to go to Arramora, to craft Pure Mana Charges, to have a new energy bar called Focus and to train the Hero skills and Hero perks.

THE HERO STATUS

Players can become a Hero of Dereth by completing the Quest: Hero Initiation for lv 45 and above.
Once this quest is completed they become a HERO, gain access to Hero skills, Hero perks and lot of other changes will happen. Check the detailed information bellow.

Focus

The first and most visible one for the player is a new white energy bar just bellow vigor that is called Focus and serves as the fuel for Heroic Skills.
Unlike Health and Vigor, Focus is a very slow regenerating energy. It takes almost 8h to completely regen a full focus bar.
Also unlike other energies, Focus regenerates with every kill the character does that gains XP, PVP points or any kind of reputation. The Focus gained increases with the challenge so higher Lv monsters killing rewards more Focus then lower.
Another way to regen Focus is available by eating Magroot.

Focus is used to summon Hero Mount and to cast Hero Skills.

Hero Name

Another change visible to all happens in the character name that changes to Yellow and gets a new Hero Name.
These names are related to the classes and they are:

Mana Charges

Heros also learn a new craft recipe called Pure Mana Charges. These are available to all Heroes in 3 different recipes:

All mana charges are trade-able but only last 15 min in the bag, so if not immediately consumed it disappears (IMPORTANT).

When a character uses 1 mana of any kind they will have a 22h cool down until another one can be used.

These charges are available each week and to "recharge" the recipes the Heroes need to go to the Arcanum Shrine to recharge the craft recipe. Portable Nexus to Hero Shrine are quite practical here because they allow a fast recharge.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the XP Bonus is only applied to the XP won by killing creatures. Quests XP and any other other form of XP don't count this bonus.

Other Hero Changes

With Hero also comes the ability to raise above level 50. Players that don't complete the Hero Initiation won't gain XP once they reach lv 50.
There are also a lot of content changes only available to Heroes. Not only all quests for Lv 51 and higher are restricted to Heroes but also a full Continent requires Hero to travel: Arramora. Due to this is also nicknamed "Hero Island".
Another important aspect is the Hero Mount that players get by completing The Mysterious Egg. This Mount uses Focus as the fuel so it requires Hero Status (also the starter is on Arramora).
