Class change

Class change is one of Priston Tale’s most distinctive features. A new player picks a class of their tribe, and each class change raises it to a higher class.

Each class change unlocks new skills and spells and changes how the character grows. Some features are reserved for the higher classes, which makes changing class well worth it.

Skills and spells

What a character can learn depends on their current class. Each class has its own skills and spells, and the most powerful ones require a minimum level or a completed quest.

Skills and spells are taught by trainers found in most villages and towns, who also help improve the ones a character already knows. Two characters of the same class can learn different skills, so each one is as unique as the player behind it.

Combat

Combat happens in real time, in an action style. Characters move according to the items they hold, such as weapon and shield, and their look changes with skills and magic.

Every hit lands with a sound and a flash of light at the point of impact, as in the fighting game Chulkwon (Tekken), so you really feel the damage you deal. All of it runs faster than in other games, which makes fights especially lively.

Items

Weapons and armor can be specialized, mixed or aged into stronger versions. With mixing and aging, every character builds a unique set of equipment, and players grow attached to their items as much as to their characters: far from the fixed equipment of most MMORPGs.

Clans and parties

A party is a team of 2 to 6 characters who join forces against monsters; the experience the party earns is shared among its members. A clan is a bigger, lasting team: a small community that gives its members a sense of belonging and mutual protection.
