Class Choice & Early Game

Choosing a Class

Can you change class later?

Yes. Talk to Dew at Camp. Early on it costs no Gyldenblod. At max level it costs 1500 Gyldenblod. After changing, a cooldown of 1–60 minutes prevents another class change, but you can still revert to the class you just left.

Your character level is kept when you change class. For steps, costs, and what carries over, see the class change page.

You can also create multiple characters and use a different class on each. After upgrading the Gyldenblod Pool to Lv.4, Spirit Infusion lets you spend Gyldenblod to raise another character to your highest character level.

Can you change your appearance later?

Yes. At Camp, open the Gyldenblod Pool and choose Appearance Reset. Cost is 1000 Gyldenblod. There is no limit on how often you can do this.

You cannot change your name. Make a new character, or delete the existing one and recreate it.

Classes

Any starting pick is fine. Early on you can change class without spending Gyldenblod, so if you are unsure, try them at the Camp Training Grounds.

Class	Weapons	Overview
Mercenary	Sword & Shield / Hammer	Balanced offense and defense
Sorcerer	Staff	Ranged damage and versatile support
Blackarrow	Bow	Ranged specialist. Uses special arrows and skills
Shadowstrix	Daggers / Dual Blades	Ambush-focused. Stealth and vision denial
Seer	Catalyst / Mace	Can switch healer and attacker roles (Camp only)
Withered Knight	Greatsword / Polearm & Shield	Tank-oriented

How to Play (Game Loop)

The basic loop is explore → extract → sell / upgrade → go out again.

Gear and Camp facility upgrades are paid for with Gyldenblod. So in broad strokes, focusing on Gyldenblod farming is enough.

Finding Items in a Match

Once you deploy, you gather items in three main ways.

1. Defeat enemies — collect their drops

2. Loot placed objects — chests and other map props

3. In-match quests — accept and complete them, then collect the rewards (shown as blue "!" markers on the map)

Main target icons on the map:

Mist Lord

Treasure

Explore quest

Chests

Chest quality varies by size and look. The best ones are usually those shown on the map (the treasure icon above). You must clear nearby enemies before looting. Other chest types exist, but this guide skips the fine detail.

Enemy strength and rewards

Rough reward order from strongest to weakest:

Mist Lord > Boss > Elite > Other

Mist Lord — top enemy on that map. Locked for a while after the match starts; prepare before you commit
Boss — red icon on the map. Undergeared runs struggle. A barrier forms during the fight and blocks other players from entering
Elite — not on the map, but marked overhead. Easy once you know them, and drops are decent (example: Berserker)
Other — trash mobs. Low expected drop value

How to Extract

To keep what you gathered, you must extract with a valid method. The usual full-loot path is Returning Chime → Hallowgrove Woodling. Smuggler Woodling is faster but only lets you bring limited items. Maps and modes can add other extraction options.

Returning Chime → Hallowgrove Woodling (standard)

1. Interact with a Returning Chime

2. A Hallowgrove Woodling spawns at a random location after a short wait

3. Defeat it; it transforms into a Soul Tree

4. Near the Soul Tree, ring the chime to summon an Extraction Point

5. Interact with the Extraction Point to leave

Using the Returning Chime can draw other players to the same objective, so be ready for a fight.

Smuggler Woodling

Appears at a random spot after enough time has passed in the match.

No combat or wait to leave. You only keep:

Equipped gear
4 items of your choice
Contents of the Pip's Pouch

You do not keep Gyldenblod or Tactical Items.

Making Gyldenblod

Sell extracted items at the Shop or Auction House. What to prioritize, when to use the Auction House, and the Soulcatch Tree are covered in the gold guide.

Talent Points

Talents are passive effects bought with Talent Points from leveling.

You do not get a point every level. Grant timing is below. At level 12 (cap) you have 8 points total.

Item	Detail
Character level cap	12
Talent Point cap	8
Grant timing (1 pt each)	Lv 2 / 3 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 9 / 11 / 12
No grant	Lv 4 / 7 / 10

Camp Facilities

Facilities worth upgrading first

Goddess Statue: raises healing from Springhorn, which directly affects survival

Goddess Statue

Raises the healing of the Springhorn you get at match start. Also includes a Curio Shop and Refine Star Silver.

Notes: Spirit Infusion lets you spend Gyldenblod to raise alternate characters to your highest level. The Gylden Jar cap is the amount of Gyldenblod you can carry during a match.

Soulcatch Tree

Set Soulcatch Nets to produce Gyldenblod Gel over time (claim for 400 Gyldenblod + a chance at extras). Net types, production math, and purchase advice are on the gold page.

Higher levels add net slots and production queue slots. Upgrade when you are actually short on slots.

Worth Knowing

Path of Glory

On the deploy screen (lower right), check Path of Glory to join the ranking event and earn rewards.

It does not change gameplay, so leave it on. Requirement: character level 6+.

Frenzeid Wizard

An enemy carrying ore. You can destroy the ore separately, letting you loot the body and the ore in two separate passes. The ore contains more Gyldenblod.

Warehouse management

When storage is tight, sell Camp construction materials that are not Holy or Legendary at the Shop.

You may need some later for facility upgrades and buy them back at a small loss, but the amounts are usually small.
