You gain experience by killing monsters or completing quests. When you get a level-up you get both stat points, investable in the 6 main stats (Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Vitality, Intelligence and Luck), and talent points.
Talent points may be invested to further specialize your character. Do you want to be a fast-attacking melee fighter that often crits? Or a straight up archer? There are many ways in which you can invest your talent points to create new and fun characters.
Items come in different types and qualities, from Common to Rare, Epic or even Legendary. Some of the best items may be crafted using the Magical Crafting Bottle.
The game currenly contains:
- over 29 quests.

- content to easily level-up to level 50.
- 5 difficulty levels plus hardcore modus (including one that you have to unlock)
