Gameplay[edit]

  • Quest End Rewards Based on Class

When you have the End Rewards Based On Class box checked, and turn in a quest that prompts an End Reward list, it checks three things.

  • What is your dominant class? (i.e. what do you have most levels in, excluding Epic?)
  • What level are you?
  • Are you a Warforged/Bladeforged? (This only really determines if you get Docents or not).

Based on those three questions, it selects one out of (checks files) 720ish treasure tables, which in turn calls on other tables to try and generate items generally useful to your race and class at the right level.

For instance, a level 10 Human Paladin is usually going to pull a few items from the following possibilities:

  • A ML10-ish weapon (could be any melee or ranged, you can rarely pull spellcasting stats on this but it'll usually be martial)
  • A ML10-ish non-tower shield
  • A ML10-ish heavy armor
  • A ML10-ish accessory (boots, rings, etc)

Compared to a level 10 Human Wizard, who is usually going to pull a few items from the following possibilities:

  • A ML10-ish club, dagger, or quarterstaff (you can rarely pull spellcasting stats on this but it'll usually be martial)
  • A ML10-ish simple ranged weapon (you can rarely pull spellcasting stats on this but it'll usually be martial)
  • A ML10-ish set of robes
  • A ML10-ish accessory
  • A ML10ish wand
  • A ML10ish club, dagger, or quarterstaff with specifically spellcasting stats
  • A ML10ish sceptre with specifically spellcasting stats
  • Sticky fellow selection
  • Click and Hold to Attack
  • Auto-attack on double-click
  • Disable General chat in private areas
