Game terms

New to the world? Here is what the words in the guides mean.

HP / health

Your life points. At zero you die. Healing restores missing points, up to your maximum.

Mana / stamina

Mana is energy for spells and many abilities. Stamina is physical energy. They are different bars.

PvM / PvP

PvM means fighting monsters. PvP means fighting another player. Some rules change between them.

Active / passive

Active means you start an action. Passive means the skill helps automatically when the right situation happens.

Skill check / chance

The game tests whether an action succeeds or your skill can improve. A chance is not a guarantee.

Codex / rank / cooldown

A Codex is a special ability book. Its rank is its progress level. A cooldown is the wait before an ability can be used again.

Base / effective skill

Base is what you have trained. Effective is the value used after applicable skill bonuses or penalties. The “Which value counts?” paragraph on each skill page tells you which one its calculations use.

Current stats

Your stat after active bonuses and penalties. Current stamina is the stamina you have left now, which can be lower than your maximum.

Tile / NPC

A tile is one square of the world. An NPC is a character controlled by the game, such as a trainer or shopkeeper.
