Character System

Complete guide to races, classes, stats, and character progression.

"Numbers tell the story of your strength, but they do not define your spirit. A warrior with half the stats of another may still triumph-if their will is greater."

  • Erion, Last of the Gods

Players create a unique character by selecting a race and class, then develop their character through stat allocation and equipment choices.

Races

Arcania features four playable races, each with unique lore, visual identity, and starting stat bonuses.

RacePrimary Bonuses
HumanAll Stats +1, +5% XP

Tip

New players should consider Human for versatility, or choose based on their preferred class. See the class pages for race recommendations.

Classes

Each class has a distinct playstyle, unique abilities, and preferred stat distributions.

Primary Stats (5)

Primary stats are the five core attributes you directly allocate points to. Each affects multiple derived stats.

Note

Primary stats come only from level-up point allocation and racial bonuses. Equipment provides derived stats (like Attack Speed or Max HP) but not primary stats like STR or VIT.

Primary Stat Overview

Strength (STR)Physical powerPhysical damage, armor penetration

Derived Stats (13)

How Stats Affect Abilities

Abilities scale from derived stats, not primary stats directly:

Level Up → Allocate Primary Stats (STR, INT, etc.)
    ↓
Primary Stats convert to Derived Stats
    ↓
Equipment adds more Derived Stats
    ↓
Abilities scale from total Derived Stats
ClassAbilities Scale From
WarriorPhysical Attack
PaladinPhysical Attack (+ Magic Attack for hybrid)
RangerPhysical Attack
MageMagic Attack
ClericMagic Attack

Note

This means equipment directly affects ability damage. A sword with +50 Physical Attack adds +50 damage (×skill multiplier) to Warrior abilities!

Example Calculations

Level 50 Warrior

Stats: STR 150, INT 20, VIT 80, AGI 100, SPR 20

Calculated Stats

Physical Attack = 150 × 2 = 300 (+ weapon) Physical Defense = 80 × 2 = 160 (+ armor) Max HP = 150 + (80 × 12) + (50 × 15) = 1,860 Critical Chance = 5% + (100 × 0.12%) = 17% Critical Damage = 125% + (100 × 0.25%) = 150% Attack Speed = 1.0 × (1 + 100 × 0.005) = 1.5 APS Armor Penetration = 150 × 0.05% = 7.5%

Level 50 Mage

Stats: STR 20, INT 150, VIT 60, AGI 80, SPR 100

Calculated Stats

Magic Attack = 150 × 2.5 = 375 (+ weapon) Magic Resistance = 100 × 2 = 200 (+ armor) Max HP = 100 + (60 × 12) + (50 × 15) = 1,570 Max Mana = 200 + (150 × 8) + (100 × 4) + (50 × 8) = 2,200 Critical Chance = 5% + (80 × 0.12%) = 14.6% Magic Penetration = 150 × 0.05% = 7.5%
