There are six trainable stats (Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, Endurance, Charisma, and Luck). There are three categories of attacks, and each weapon, spell, or skill belongs to a category: melee, ranged, or magic. Elements include fire, ice, water, energy, earth, wind, light, and darkness. Both characters and monsters have elemental and weapon-based resistances and weaknesses. The battle system is turn-based on player's turn, they may attack, equip an item (such as a weapon, shield, or armor), use other miscellaneous items, cast a spell, perform a skill (if players are equipped with an item that has a skill), call a pet/guest, or flee from the battle (if the player has enough skill points). Most fights begin through random encounters and quests, which can be found throughout the game. The game also includes equipment that will bestow special effects depending on the player's alignment. Actions taken in game affect the player's alignment, and give the player a selection of custom rewards and access to in-game events. Skill points are required to flee from battle the higher the monster's level, the more SP is needed.ĪdventureQuest has an alignment system similar to that of Dungeons & Dragons, which includes selection between Good and Evil as well as Unity and Chaos. They are also used for some armor skills, as an upkeep cost for most misc items, and the usage of potions. Skill points, like mana, are used for certain class abilities. There are also special items or sets called Mastercrafts (MC for short), which are 5% stronger than normal items but cost 10% more gold/tokens. As players defeat monsters, they gain experience points, gold, and occasionally "Z-Tokens", a secondary currency that can also be bought with real-world money. The gameplay is similar to that of traditional RPGs in that it revolves around fighting monsters in a turn-based system. On July 14, 2010, the server cap was removed permanently.ĪdventureQuest is a single-player RPG, although character data is stored on AE servers. In response to criticism that server restrictions made logging on for non-paying players difficult, in October 2006 Artix Entertainment introduced a server in which a player could log on at any time, but with a tight level limit. In 2005, a microtransaction system was put into place. Ownership of the game transferred to the newly formed Artix Entertainment in 2004, and a server population cap was added for non-Guardian players in May of that year. Ī one-time "guardianship" fee was introduced in 2003, allowing the player to access extended in-game content.
