Character Creation

Welcome to Valhalla ! On behalf of the staff I would like to thank you for choosing our shard.

Regardless of whether you have never played on a private shard before or you are a veteran of a previous shard, this version is likely to be a new experience for you. This part of the guide will assist you in creating your character.

Read the Rules

There are three basic parts to this process, which will begin once you enter the character creation gate:

1. Choosing your race.
2. Choosing your class.
3. Setting your skill specializations.

Instead of wasting more of your time, let's get started! Once you are on the shard, search for the character creation gate and step in.

Choosing your Race

The first thing you will need to do with your new character is enter the character creation gate. This is where you will choose both your race and your class. Your race gives you some special skill cap bonuses, while your class determines the base skill caps. Click here to view a list of the races available on Valhalla, along with a list of their descriptions.

Choosing your Class

After choosing a race, the next step is choosing your character's class. Click here for a table of Classes. Your class determines how much of each skill your character will be able to learn. In addition to the short description provided for each class, clicking on the class's name will provide a list of primary skills, secondary skills and weapon/armor limitations for the class.

Setting your Specializations

• Note: If you haven't already read the skills, you should do so before setting your specs.

Once you have chosen your class, the next step is choosing which of your skills you want to specialize in. Type the ".spec" command in, and a book will open up where you will choose the skills you want to specialize in. If you don't remember which primary and secondary skills are available to your class, click here and click on the name of your class. Then, choose 3 of the primary skills and set them in the book. Doing this will allow you to gain 100 points in those three skills instead of the usual 95.  Also, if you choose your 'special skill' as one of your primary specializations, you will be able to get up to 110 points in that skill. 

Next, go to the following page and repeat the process for your secondary skills. This will allow you to have 80 points of skill in each of those.

• Note #1 - If you set one of your primary skills as a specialized secondary skill, the cap for that skill will be 80 instead of 95.

Finally, flip the page and choose which crafting skill you would like to be able to get 100 skill points in.

• Note #2 - Only skills with a green dot are considered trade skills. Alchemy is not considered a trade skill on Valhalla.

Remember that you can always type ".spec" again and change your specializations. Once you have filled all of your specialization slots, save the changes and you will be ready to enter Valhalla.
