== | ==Character Creation via the Nexus Client== | ||
Character creation in Achaea is easy. Your first step is to click the [http://www.achaea.com/ PLAY NOW] button on the Achaea home page. While you can login with an existing character, the steps for creating a new character are: | |||
There are | =Selecting a Race= | ||
There are a dozen [[Category:Adventurer_races|races]] from which to choose starting out. Clicking on any name on the intro screen gives a brief overview and lists any racial bonuses. | |||
The races available to newbies starting out include [[Atavian]], [[Dwarf]], [[Grook]], [[Horkval]], [[Human]], [[Mhun]], [[Rajamala]], [[Satyr]], [[Siren]], [[Troll]], [[Tsol'aa]], and [[Xoran]]. | |||
=Selecting a Class= | |||
A [[Category:classesclass]] distinguishes you from others, offering a set of three [[Category:Skills|skills]] which allow you to take on any number of identities, including a brave knight, a magical elementalist, or a cunning thief. | |||
The 17 classes are available to adventurers are [[Alchemist]], [[Apostate]], [[Bard]], [[Blademaster]], [[Druid]], [[Infernal]], [[Jester]], [[Magi]], [[Monk]], [[Occultist]], [[Paladin]], [[Priest]], [[Runewarden]], [[Sentinel]], [[Serpent]], [[Shaman]], and [[Sylvan]]. | |||
=Selecting a City= | |||
;Select Your City:Click on the [[Category:City-states|city]] name for a one-sentence summary. NOTE: Your choices may be limited based on the class you picked in the previous step. Forest-based classes may only reside with other nature preservationists in [[Eleusis]], and devotion-users can only join other zealous beacons of righteousness in [[Targossas]] | |||
= | =Character Information= | ||
This section is where you choose information specific to your character including: | |||
; Name:A good name feels fantasy, but isn't from a book or movie. If your name is overly silly, offensive, or sensitive for some other reason, then after your adventures begin you might receive a notice directing you to read [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea?what=names&x=Help HELP NAMES], which offers more information and instructions for changing your name. | |||
;Gender:You may choose to be male or female. The exceptions to this are that all satyrs are male and all sirens are female. | |||
;Password:Never share your password with anyone. Your password should be difficult for others to guess but something you will remember. You can read [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea?what=password&x=Help HELP PASSWORD] for more information. | |||
;Email Address: Registering your character helps give Achaea an idea of the demographics of the player base, and gives players ways to keep their account safe. [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea?what=registration&x=Help HELP REGISTRATION] explains more about these benefits. | |||
After you complete these sections, click Finish and your first adventure will automatically begin. | |||
