Frequently Asked Questions


How do I play the game?

Dracknoir's Revenge is a browser based game. First, create an account on Dracknoirs Revenge. Once you are logged in, you can wander around and explore the world. Don't forget to read the cheat sheet and the rest of these FAQ's.

Movement:
Arrow keys, WASD keys or even the direction arrows on screen to move your character around the world. There is no limit on movement which is good because you may have to run for your life.

Doors:
If a door is closed, you can move toward the door to open it. If the door does not open, you may not be able to gain access to that area. Houses that are owned have doors that are locked. Only your clan members can enter your house.

Day/Night:
This featuyre, much like the real world, has a day and night component. Use a torch, cast light spell, or stay within the city to light your way at night. Players level 10 and below don't experience true night, just to get them going.

Shops:
There are shops all over the place in cities. Different shops offer different things. Goods and services include armor, healing, learning spells/skills and even changing the look of your character!

Sleeping/Eating/Regenerating your stats:
How do you restore your stats? Sleeping is a quick and easy way to recover your stats. Did the notification tab tell you your hungry? Eat or drink something. You do not regenerate stats easily when you are hungry. Maximize the regeneration of your character by sleeping at the Monks shop! The Monks will grant you hourly regeneration, as well as on demand paid regeneration!

Levels:
Explore all you want, but to gain levels, you must fight! Attack anything you want, even other players, but be cautious to see if you are strong enough to stand a chance. Ants are a good place to start.

Jail and Bounties:
So you want to attack someone. Why not try the arena where no permenant damage is taken. Be aware if the other player is weaker than you, you will go to jail. Also if you fight in a city and a Guard sees you, you are going to jail. Bounties are sort of the exception. You can attack and try to collect the bounty on anyone who has a bounty. Abuse of bounties will also get you jailed by the magistrate.

Character Stats - can you explain them?

Health: Health is how much physical damage you can absorb before you are dead. No worries, you have unlimited respawns.

Sanity: Sanity is how much mental capacity you have to continue on fighting. Combat takes a toll on your sanity.

Power: Power is how much magical energy you have to cast spells and perform other magical actions.

XP: Experience is how much positive activity you have. As you gain more experience, more things become available to you.

Offense: This is the combined total offensive rating of the equipment in use plus your applicable stats.

Defense: This is the combined total defensive rating of the equipment in use plus your applicable stats.

Strength: adds to how much total damage you can do and how much stuff you can carry. This value is also used to determine the increase in your Health when you level up.

Will: a modifier on combat spells to reduce damage. This value is also used to determine the increase in your Sanity when you level up.

Agility: adds to the difficult it is for mobs and players to hit you.

Perception: chance to resist a negative effect spell.

Intellect: adds to the effect of a spell. This value is also used to determine the increase in your Power when you level up.

How do I improve my characters stats?

You can increase your characters stats (Strength, Will, Agility, etc) and learn skills and spells by spending upgrade points. Each level you gain, you are awarded additional upgrade points. There are also some special ways to gain upgrade points.

Your Health, Sanity, and Power will also increase each time you level up. Your Strength, Will, and Intellect are key to how much you gain for those stats. Example: The higher your Will, the more Sanity you gain each level.

What are upgrade points?

Upgrade Points are used to improve your character. You can increase your stats such as Strength, buy special items, learn specific Spells or Skills. Spend the points to craft your character your way.

You gain Upgrade Points each time you level up. There are other special ways to earn upgrade points.

Do Health, Power, and Sanity regenerate?

Yes.

Your stats regenerate slowly while awake, faster if you are asleep. They regenerate slower when you are hungry or thirsty.

You can also gain regeneration from spells, potions, and the Monks you will find in and around most cities.

How do I get stuff?

By adventuring around the world and killing things, as well as purchasing from the various merchants. Mobs will drop all kinds of gear, coins, and consumables. Different merchants have different inventory. Didn't find what you were looking for? The Smiths can be commissioned to create many items in the game.

What are coins useful for?

Gear and consumables can be purchased from the Merchants in just about every city. You might even find a few wandering around. Barter with friends and other players. With enough coins, you can start a clan and purchase a house to safely store your additional gear.

What platforms are supported?

All computer platforms can play Dracknoir's Revenge. All you need is internet access and a browser. Note: If your browser is ancient ie Internet Explorer 8, then you are out of luck and also have other issues you need to take care of. We take pride on the optimization of bandwidth, but you should be mindful of your data usage if playing on mobile devices. Smaller screens may have a bit of a difficult time, but we are always working to improve the user experience.

What happened to the lights?

This world, much like most worlds has day and night. At the top right of the screen shows you the position of the sun and moon. At the bottom right of the screen you will see quick click icons. One icon is a torch. Use a torch, a spell, or stay in a city to light your way at night.

What happens if I die?

First off, you are going to die. This world is tough. When you die, you don't suffer any loss of gear, but you do lose a bit of experience and any coins you are currently carrying. You can immediately log back in after death to continue playing the same character. Bank your coins to protect them!

I'm Hungry - I'm Thirsty

Go get a burrito and a... oh, you mean your charatcer? When you are hungry or thirsty, you do not recover your stats as quickly. To remedy this, eat a ration, drink a canteen or even an ale! You will find Mobs dropping these, as well as spells to create them, and merchants who sell them. Be aware you can only carry so much!

Why talk to NPCs?

It is important to talk to NPCs. They help to guide you around and tell you what is going on. Each NPC will have more than one thing to tell you. Check back with previous NPCs as you grow stronger for more advise!

Notifications Tab?

Pay attention to the Notification Tab as it tells you what's going on with your character. Different types of notifications are color coded. Some example notifications:

"You are being attacked!"
"You are hungry."
"You got a shiny shield from the beetle."

Can I create multiple characters?

Sure. Please note. A valid unique email address is required to create an account. Each account has an email associated with it. You can play multiple characters in different tabs of the same browser, different browsers, and different devices. Playing multiple characters at the same time can also help with the group bonus!

What is the group bonus?

If you are adventuring in a group, you will receive a small bonus to the experience you gain upon a successful attack. Also, you will be able to defeat stronger mobs in the game. More characters = stronger party. Find some new friends to go adventuring!
