Ok, so now that the generalities are out of the way, we can talk about the specifics of Hero Online. When a player begins the game, they will have to choose one of four characters: The Ruthless Blade, Overseer of the Sky, The Piercing Eye, or the Elegant Mystic. Each character will have his/her own strengths, weaknesses, weapon proficiencies, and stats. Once a character hits level 10, a player may choose their class and truly begin their journey in Hero Online. There are four basic classes per character to choose from: Warrior, Hunter, Physician, and Assassin. Each class has two upgrades that it can undergo allowing for more skills and better class-specific skills. For every progression, characters must complete certain quests that will reward them with skill books and more. For instance, an Assassin can become a Slayer, who can them become a Shinobi but only after completing their class quests. In terms of skills, players will have the option to pick and choose certain skills to either focus on whether it be aggressive skills, passive skills, or both. For example, a Physician can choose any combination of aggressive skills including poisons and status attacks or from passive skills like healing and meditation. Hunters can choose skills from skill sets from either taming (pets) or mining.
When it comes to choosing skills, players can pick or choose which skills to equip depending on their need since skills are based on books. Players will have 10 book slots, and will be able to allocate which slot has which book. Since a skill book could have up to 3 skills, players could potentially have a whole arsenal of skills or a small amount. Skill books can be found from talking to npcs, fighting monsters, undergoing quests, or trading from other players.
