Leveling

How to level up

Mayor (recommended for stat growth): From Fountain Square, go mayor, then ask mayor for status (also deeds / report). She deducts coin on hand (not bank) and reputation, then raises your level and applies stat points per level to every stat (value in Admin → Game Settings).

Profession master orb: ask <master> for train — pays the same coin + reputation as the Mayor for that level, then an orb finishes in about two minutes. When it completes, you gain a level and max HP updates; you do not get the Mayor’s full per-stat package from the orb alone—use the Mayor when you want those gains.

Fees increase as you level under default settings (scaling reputation; coin tied to creature payout tables—see README Coin & Reputation → Leveling). Staff can switch to flat legacy modes in Admin → Game Settings.

Type help leveling in-game for a compact version of this.

Reputation cap & lifetime total

Your reputation toward the next level cannot go above what the Mayor would need for that level-up—you are meant to ask mayor for status (or use a profession-master orb) before stacking endless rep. If a kill, quest payout, or loot would push you over, you only gain the part that fits; the log may add a line telling you to see the mayor. If you are already at the cap, further positive rep from those sources is zero until you level (with the same reminder).

Lifetime reputation is separate: the server adds every applied positive gain to a running total so you can see career earnings on the web info sheet (Resources tab), even when the “banked toward next ding” number is capped. Staff admin rep can still set reputation directly and bypass the earn-cap.

Gaining coin and reputation

  • Kill creatures – Loot corpses; coin and reputation are proportional to damage you dealt (creatures far below your level may pay reduced or no rewards).
  • Quest kill rep – While on a kill quest, each qualifying kill grants kill_reputation.
  • Quest turn-in – Use ask <npc> for complete quest; reward coin and reputation apply then (highlighted in the log).
  • Bank – Withdraw coin before visiting the Mayor if your fee must be on hand.

Training (skills)

Profession Masters (Warrior Hall, Wizard Tower, Ranger Lodge, Empath Guild, Cleric Hall) teach skills.

ask <master> for train <skill> – Learn a specific skill (e.g. ask Thrain for train slash). Costs coin + reputation per skill definition. Masters only train their profession.
