Gear & combat

Fights are turn based. Each turn both sides pick a move and the faster one acts first. Strong moves need a turn or two to recharge. On Slayer trips the fights play themselves; against bosses and rare creatures you pick every move.

Stats

What each one actually does, with a worked example, is on Stats.

Stat	Level 1	Level 30	Per Combat level	Added by
HP	100	390	+10	Body and leg armour
Attack	7	65	+2	Weapons
Defence	7	65	+2	Armour and shields
Speed	11	40	+1	Light gear; heavy armour lowers it

Damage = move power × your Attack ÷ their Defence × the type multiplier × a random 0.85 to 1, and ×1.5 on a critical hit (6.3% of hits).

Damage types

Slash, Crush, Magic. Every monster is weak to one (×1.5 damage) and resists one (×0.5), so a second weapon is worth carrying. Swapping weapons in a fight uses your turn.

Weapons and their moves

Weapon	Damage	Moves
Unarmed	Crush	Punch, Kick, Brace
Sword	Slash	Slash, Lunge, Parry, Whirlwind
Mace	Crush	Bash, Stagger, Guard, Earthshaker
Staff	Magic	Bolt, Drain, Ward, Arcane burst

Tier 1 weapons have the first three moves; from tier 2 they have all four. Named boss weapons swap one move for a signature move.

Gear by slot

Five slots show on your character: head, body, legs, weapon and shield. The sixth, the ring, never shows. Tier 1 and 2 rings add combat stats; tier 3 rings help gathering trips instead.
