Level

On this page a description is given to clarify how to compare and judge a player's abilities in combat compared to another player and compared to a NPC Foe (attackable create).

Not the classic Leveling system

Other MMO's usually have an indication for both the player-character and for NPC foe's that start at level 1 and slowly increase to 2 and 3, all the way to 50 or even 100. Project Gorgon does not do this.

Player level

A player's power is derived from several sources:

• the two types of combat-abilities she has chosen to fight with (and thus the two types of weapons she should have equiped). (e.g. Sword, staff, unarmed, shield, archery, psychology, etc)
• the skill the player had acquired in those two combat-types.
  Hint: For a newer player it can be good to find a playstyle you like, regarding the weapons you use. And once you do that, to stick with those. A high skill level in your chosen weapon-type makes a big difference !
• the armor items that the player has equiped

- the buffs to Armor, Health and Power that those armor-items give

- the buffs that the armor items give to certain combat abilities. (e.g. "Finishing Blow deals +32% damage")

• the buffs that the player has

- food buff

- potion buffs

- listened to music buff

The basic player statistics are shown in:

NPC Foe level

One of the best indication of a NPC's power and abilities is to look at the little window that displays your current targets statistics. Below are some examples from the Serbule starter region:

Mr Squeaky is one of the 'mini-bosses' in Serbule.
For the Psychic Mantis statisctis below, please note the in-effectiveness of 'slashing damage' to them. A player specialised in Swords (that deal slashing damage) can have a tough time against these.
