This section is a little less organized, it is just kinda a dump for all of the information that has been written out to best explain various mechanics. I will do my best to keep it readable. Any questions can be asked here.
General Information:
Very Basic Info:
Heroes: - Stat gains per level are reflected by the number of markers next to their stat. Higher tier heroes have increased stat gain per level.
- Melee Heroes have 20% extra damage reduction, and 15% faster attack and move speed.(edited)
Vendors:
- Honor vendor prices grow exponentially as you increase tiers and preset mods.
- Blacksmith rarity increases with every siege that the castle survives.
- There will eventually be a potion vendor.
- The battlefront is based on the average player level; and costs are set accordingly. Every upgrade purchased in a game increases the base cost by a factor.
- The bank stores items to be shared across your characters. More tabs will be available in the future for a steep cost.
Loot/EXP:
- Experience granted is based on the level of the killing player. The formula is 1+(floor(lvl/10) is a buffer zone with no loss; and each level past that is a 14% reduction in EXP gained. After that is calculated, experience is divided among party members, gaining 10% per member; and then reduced again by 10% per members level difference from the slain monster.
- Item rarity is a base value set on every unit (ranging from 20-60 on average monsters, and 70-160 on bosses), and the level of the unit*1.5 is added to that value.
- Magic Find increases the value above by the amount of magic find you have. Killing a level 20 boss with 160 base MF, would be 200 MF. With 200% MF on gear, that gives the items a rarity of 600.
- Item Rarity is rolled on a scale, where the MF of of the drop is added to the min and max value of the item drop chance, and rolled; if it is above the items rarity, it moves on to the next rarity.
- Example: (Untrue numbers: Magic=50, Rare=200, Epic=800) With the 600 MF above, I will roll from 600-650, and if the number is greater than 50, the item becomes magic. then I roll from 600-800,
- (Cont) if the number is above 200, it becomes rare; then I roll from 600-1400, if the result is above 800, it becomes epic; then I roll from 600-3000, and if it is above 2400, the item rolls as legendary.
- Those numbers are not accurate, but you get the idea.
Dungeons:
- As of this Post, there are only 4 dungeons. (And Purgatory Cavern but that's different.)
- Dungeons feature numerous bosses and enemies that scale based on the # of players in the party.
- Only one instance of a Specific Dungeon can be run at any time.
- Dungeons reset after a few minutes of leaving them uninhabited.
- At the end of a dungeon, a portal will appear to allow a quick escape back to the entrance.
- Dungeon loot is shared with the party, even if a player is outside of the dungeon.
Items:
- Currently there are 16 item mods which can roll randomly on items.
- The first (Base) mod on all items is preset, with the exception of jewelry; and rolls at a value of 1.5X. - The second and thirds (Primary) mods roll at a value of 1X, and are random, unless you are purchasing legendary items from the honor vendor.
- The fourth and fifth (Secondary) mods roll at a value of .5X.
- Twilight items have unique mods which replace their Base mod.
General Regions:
- All creeps despawn after a region is empty for 30 seconds.
- Bosses spawn with an active player remaining in the zone for about 3-5 minutes.
- Boss/Creep spawn timer is frozen if you are too close to their spawning point.
- Every region except for the Abandoned Fields has a boss.
- All loot/EXP is shared with a radius of 6 (12 in a party).
Mechanics Information:
Calculating Damage Reduction:
Physical Damage reduction is applied before all else as a flat value, then any buffs, then armor is calculated.
Armor Formula: (armor x 0.04) / (1 + armor x 0.04)
Calculating CDR:
Here’s a quick, easy, and (almost) accurate method:

Calculating CDR:
Here’s a quick, easy, and (almost) accurate method:
- Sum up all of your cooldown rate mods from your gear (as percent)
- Add your cooldown rate from speed, currently SPEED/10 (as percent)
- Call that sum TOTAL_CDR
- Compute 1.1 * (.99^TOTAL_CDR) using Google or a calculator
- Multiply the resulting number by the Tooltip cooldown to know the actual cooldown in-game
