DRCOBRA: Added Khri Adapation link to image map

==General information==
{{RTOC}}
Khri (pronounced 'kree') is a group of [[Thief]] abilities that entail heightened concentration to increase awareness and body control. The term "khri" is used for both singular and plural. As per Gonk on 02/06/2019, The word Khri itself was actually a riff/nod to Ki/Chi/Qi.

*Khri is considered an in-game secret, but Simutronics forum policies allow it to be discussed openly on the Forums.

*Each guild leader teaches the full list of khri
*All khri can be stacked together with no limit to how many can be stacked at once. There is no extra concentration cost for stacking multiple khri at once. Starting multiple khri at once has a skill check. The difficulty of activating a khri is affected by the Urban status of the area, and current confidence level. Positive confidence levels will make khri easier to start while a negative confidence level will make it more difficult.

*Generally speaking, you will be able to stand and start tier one at 50 ranks in magic, tier two at 100, tier 3 at 150, tier 4 at 250.
:* With 0/5 confidence (neutral, not positive, not negative), tier 3 is able to be started while standing, outside town with just 80 ranks

* Slot progression is the same as other [https://elanthipedia.play.net/Category:Magic#Slot_Progression Magic tertiary guilds], 1 slot at 1st circle, 1 slot at 2nd circle then 1 slot every two circles through 102nd circle. After 102nd circle, you will gain 1 slot every 3 levels starting with 105th circle. You will gain a total of 68 slots from circling with an additional bonus slot at 1st circle for [[Premium]] subscribers or for [[Accounts|Basic]] (standard) subscribers an additional bonus slot at either 50th circle or 500 ranks of Inner Magic, whichever comes first. With a total of 74 slots required for all Khri and Ambushes, you will not be able to learn every single one.

==Combination Khri==

When khri were rewritten in 2018, all combination effects were moved to individual khri instead. There are no longer combination style effects.

==Syntax==
To see what khri you know simply type {{com|khri}} by itself.

===Starting Khri===
There are a few ways and options for how to start khri:
*{{tt|KHRI start <khriname>}} - Starts the khri immediately.
*{{tt|KHRI <khriname> <khriname>}} - Starts the khri immediately.

* You can simultaneously start (Inner Magic/150)+1 khri. However, a limitation of the parser prevents more than 8 arguments to a single command, meaning there is a hard limit of starting 8 khri at once (or 7 in the case of adaptation since it requires a damage type as an argument)

*{{tt|KHRI delay <khriname> <khriname> <khriname>}} - Starts the khri after a brief delay, but will enhance the ability in most cases.
Unsure if there is a skillcheck involved with delayed start of multiples.

If you are unable to start a particular khri due to it being too difficult, you can kneel/sit/lie down to make it easier. Even when you are able to start a particular khri while standing, you may find that starting it sitting/kneeling still enhances the power of the ability.
Most khri require an upfront cost in [[concentration]] and a smaller maintenance cost. Some, such as [[Khri Eliminate|Eliminate]] require a large upfront cost but no maintenance.

===Stopping Khri===
Khri will end naturally after some period of time determined by your skill and the difficulty of the khri. They might also end if you no longer have the concentration to power them. If you want to end a khri manually you can:
*{{tt|KHRI stop}} - Will end all khri.
*{{tt|KHRI stop <khriname>}} - Will end just the specified khri.
Once a khri has ended it will be on a cooldown for a period of time. This can range from 5 seconds to 3 minutes based on your skills and the difficulty of the khri.

Khri that do not continually drain concentration cannot be stopped, but generally the effects of those khri are instantaneous.

===Forgetting Khri===
It is possible to forget a khri once you have learned it. This ability can be used at a Guildleader and only once every 30 RL days.

The command to forget a khri is:
*{{tt|ask <leader's name> about <khriname> unlearn}}

===Teaching Khri===
Player Thieves have the ability to teach khri to other player thieves:

*{{com|teach}} {{tt|khri <Khri Name> to <Person>}}

===Misc Khri commands===
There are a few additional commands associated with khri that add additional functionality:
*{{tt|KHRI check}} - Will display which khri are running, and which are on cooldown.
*{{tt|KHRI meditate}} - Can be used to increase the learning rate of any active khri.
*{{tt|KHRI meditate}} - When no khri are active it will reduce any cooldowns.
*{{tt|KHRI help}} - Will bring up this information to read again.

==Cost==
There are 5 tiers of difficulty, and then Special Khri which have a larger one time concentration cost.
*Tier 1 (8 startup, 2 pulse) : Darken, Focus, Hasten
*Tier 2 (12 startup, 3 pulse): Adaptation, Avoidance, Dampen, Elusion, Harrier, Insight, Plunder, Safe, Sight, Silence, Strike, Sensing, Terrify
*Tier 3 (16 startup, 4 pulse): Cunning, Endure, Flight, Fright, Intimidate, Muse, Prowess, Serenity, Shadowstep, Steady
*Tier 4 (20 startup, 5 pulse): Credence, Guile, Sagacity, Slight,
*Tier 5 (25 startup, 6 pulse): Evanescence
*Special (One time cost): Calm (25), Eliminate (35), Vanish (30)

Khri pulse every 12 seconds. To calculate the Concentration Per Minute (CPM) of the various Khri, multiply the X/pulse cost by 5. i.e. Darken has a startup cost of 8, and a cost-per-pulse of 2. Darken's CPM = 10.

DRCOBRA: Added Guardian Spirit to Minor Benefits table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

{|class="wikitable sortable"
|-
!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA: /* Minor Benefits */ Added Fluff Effects column

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Gift of the Stars: Restores 25 mana at night
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

DRCOBRA: Updated Minor Benefits table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Gift of the Stars: Restores 25 mana at night
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA: Added Beseech the Wind to Echo to Utility table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA:

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''[[Damage reactor|Ward Slot]] (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

DRCOBRA: Updated Contact in Utility table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''Ward Slot (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA: Added Barrier Review update

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
* '''Ward Slot (WS)''' Ability consumes 1 barrier slot while in effect. Unmarked abilties require 0 barrier slots. If the ability is not from your guild or an AP spell, it costs an additional +1 barrier slot. Players have 2 barrier slots.

# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

DRCOBRA: Added Vitality column to Barrier/Damage Resistance table. Added several missing abilities and fixed typos

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Eylhaar's Feast: Heals either Vitality, Mana, or Fatigue at the cost of Spirit
# Heart Link: Equalizes the Vitality between 2 PCs
# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Gift of the Stars: Restores 25 mana at night
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

DRCOBRA: Added Roleplay table and updated Utility table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

{|class="wikitable sortable"

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.

|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA: Added missing spells and abilities

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the Empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

* "Cylics" in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians.

* Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots

DRCOBRA: Fixed typos

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Heart Link: Equalizes the Vitality between 2 PCs
# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

DRCOBRA: Added Guild Skills table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Heart Link: Equalizes the Vitality between 2 PCs
# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

DRCOBRA: Added Poison and Disease to Bleeding column in Healing table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.
# Poison Resistance: Gives a chance to flush a poison from the Thief's system. Requires repeated exposure to the [[Poison|specific type of poison]] to build up resistance.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

DRCOBRA: Added Communication and Travel columns to Utility table

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.

{|class="wikitable sortable"

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.

{|class="wikitable sortable"

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.

= Overview =

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

'''Keys:'''
* All '''[[Signature_spells|signature spells and abilities]]''' are '''bolded'''.
* '''Area of Effect (AOE)''' - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
* '''[[Cyclic_spells|Cyclic Spell]] (C)''' - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from [[Harness]], a [[Cambrinth]] with Dedicated Cambrinth User [[Magical Feats|feat]], or [[Attunement]] with Raw Channeling [[Magical Feats|feat]]. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can [[Segue_ability|Segue]] from one cyclic spell to another.
* '''Group (G)''' - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
* '''Pulse (P)''' - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited time or is a cyclic spell.
* '''[[Ritual_spells|Ritual Spell]] (R)''' - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a [[Ritual Focus]].
* Abilities with a ('''*''') have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

'''Key''':

* A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

* C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

* D = DFA

* H = Heavy TM option available

* I = Armor Piercing

* M = Multi-strike option available

* P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

* R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

* S = Single Target option available

* Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

* (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

# * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

# ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's mostly a training tool.

# *** Between backstab, ambushes, and eliminate, thieves have magic-like abilities for all damage types based on weapon

# **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

== Barriers and Damage Resistance ==
Barriers come in a few different types.

'''Key:'''
* '''Ablative (A)''' - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
* '''Non-ablative (NA)''' - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
* '''Integrity (I)''' - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
* '''Potency (PO)''' - Barrier completely blocks the attack.

# Heart Link: Equalizes the Vitality between 2 PCs
# Vigil: Equalizes the Spirit between 2 PCs
# Risen: Must use Bleed Command
# Necrotic Reconstruction: Only works on corpses, Constructs, or Zombies
# Covetous Rebirth: Allows coins and items to be kept when departing and departs to a guildhall instead of a ressurection altar
# Vessel of Salvation: Creates a Vitality "battery"
# Raise Power (Life), Nexus (Elemental), Ethereal Fissure (Elemental), and Meraud's commune (Holy) does not restore mana. it only raises the mana levels for that room. Each has their own price. RP tanks fatigue. Nexus power is determined by the number of people in the room. ETF slowly degrades during the cast time. Meraud's requires devotion, eased by having a dead body in the room.
# Rite of Forbearance: Reduced attunement when casting, freezes attunement regen
# Adaptive Curing: Allows Heal to be pre-cast before death and will continue healing the empath's corpse after death.
# Devour: If pre-cast before death it will continue to heal the necromancer's corpse after death.

!Guild!!Why is it special!!What are the hassles
|-
|[[Barbarian]] || Very wide toolkit. Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you "mana" (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.
|-
|[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training.
|-
|[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression.
|-
|[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use.
|-
|[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there.
|-
|[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication.
|-
|[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers.
|-
|[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless.
|-
|[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. "one-trick pony" (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No "dump stats", so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)
|-
|[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require "starlight" which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool.
|-
|[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.
