Players gain combat skill experience when dealing damage; 2 experience in the selected combat skill and 1 experience in Constitution per damage dealt. When fighting in a balanced stance, each skill gains 2/3 of an experience per point of damage. Fractions of experience are not shown but are kept so a balanced stance does not gain or lose experience through rounding.

==Stats==
 +
There are various stats that can affect combat. These stats are determined by a player's equipment (armor and weapon), although each point in a player's level contributes more to stats than equipment.
 +
 
 +
===Accuracy===
 +
Accuracy is determined from a combination of stats from equipment and attack level which is used to determine hit chance.  
  
−
The amount of health left can be seen next to the heart icon in the combat page.

−
===Attack===
+
Keep in mind that the hit chance is also determined by an enemy's defense toward your attack type.  
−
Attack is the skill that determines your hit chance. The amount of experience gained based on the damage dealt and your current stance, where each attack gives a total two experience point spread with attack, defense, and strength, depending on your current stance.
+
 
 +
The only way to deal 0 damage is by missing the target, all accurate hits will deal at least 1 damage. The [[Cooking#Buffs gained from food|Demon Skin]] buff can decrease a damage to 0.

===Strength===
−
Strength is the skill that determines your maximum damage. The amount of experience gained based on the damage dealt and your current stance, where each attack gives a total two experience point spread with attack, defense, and strength, depending on your current stance.
+
Strength from equipment determines the maximum damage you can deal along with strength level. The damage you deal can also be affected by enchantments such as [[Scroll of Critical Strike]], [[Scroll of Patience]], and [[Scroll of Recklessness]]. Keep in mind that patience and recklessness adds to both the minimum and maximum damage while strength only adds to the maximum damage.
 +
 
 +
Max hit can be calculated with the following formula:
 +
 
 +
<math>Max Hit= \Biggl\lfloor 0.5 + \frac {(Strength Level + 8) \times (Strength Bonus + 64)}{640} \Biggr\rfloor </math>

−
Defense is the skill that determines your dodge chance. The amount of experience gained based on the damage dealt and your current stance, where each attack gives a total two experience point spread with attack, defense, and strength, depending on your current stance.

==Stats==
 
−
There are various stats that can affect combat. These stats are determined by the equipment (armor and weapon).
 
  
−
===Accuracy===
+
The formula for defense is <math>Defense = Defense Level * (Defense Bonus + 64)</math> where you use the corresponding defense bonus for whatever type of attack you are defending from (ex. Stab).
−
Accuracy from equipment determines the hit rate along with attack level. Attack level supports hit chance a lot more than accuracy from weapon. Keep in mind that the hit chance is also determined by enemy's defense to your attack type.
 
  
 
===Attack Type===
 
===Attack Type===
−
There are three types of attack(slash, stab, crush) which is determined by the weapon you use. Attack type determines the type of defense the enemy uses. This can be important since some enemies are weak to one type of attack making it easier to hit if that type of attack is used, for example all giant is weak to crush making them weak to battleaxes.
+
There are three attack types (slash, stab, crush) which is determined by the weapon you use (bare hands are considered crush). Attack type determines the type of defense the enemy uses. This can be important since some enemies are weak to one type of attack, making it easier to hit if that type of attack is used. E.g. all giants are weak to crush, making battleaxes effective weapons to use.
  
−
===Defense===
+
===Hit Chance===
−
Defense from equipment bonus determines the dodge rate along with defense level. Defense level supports dodge chance a lot more than defense from armors. Keep in mind that the dodge chance is also determined by enemy's attack and your defense to their attack type.
+
If Accuracy > Defense:
  
−
===Attack Speed===
+
<math>Hit Chance =1 - 0.5 * \frac {Defense}{Accuracy}</math>
−
Attack speed is a stat that determines the amount of time needed to do another attack. The attack speed differs with every weapon according to the weapon type, with some exception (Zero Edge has 2s attack speed instead of 2.4s). A faster attack speed doesn't always make it better because of the patience enchantment, which makes slow weapon hits harder.
 
  
−
===Strength===
+
Else:
−
Strength from equipment determines the maximum damage you can deal along with strength level. Strength level supports damage a lot more than strength from equipment. The damage you deal can also be affected by enchantments, such as critical strike, patience, and recklessness. Keep in mind that patience and recklessness adds to both the minimum and maximum damage while strength only adds to the maximum damage.
 
  
 +
<math>Hit Chance = 0.5 * \frac {Accuracy}{Defense}</math>
  
−
You can calculate your maximum hit with this formula:
+
===Attack Speed===
 +
Attack speed is a stat that determines the amount of time between attacks. The attack speed differs with every weapon. Bare fists have an attack speed of 2.4 seconds.
  
−
<math>Max Hit= \Biggl\lfloor 1.3+ \frac {Strength Level}{10}+ \frac {Strength Bonus}{80}+ \frac {Strength Level \times Strength Bonus}{640} \Biggr\rfloor </math>
+
The [[Scroll of Patience]] increases damage based on how slow the weapon hits.

* Chaos Wastes is a combat zone balanced for group combat, allowing a maximum of two players in a party to fight alongside each other. Stats differ for one and two players.

Special combat areas include the Foraging zone Living Forest, and the Mining zone Deep Pit, where you may randomly encounter Spriggans or Greater Demons respectively. Players may not run from these encounters, and failing results in a 15-minute lockout timer before they can access that zone again.

Combat Experience

Players gain combat skill experience when dealing damage; 2 experience in the selected combat skill and 1 experience in Constitution per damage dealt. When fighting in a balanced stance, each skill gains 2/3 of an experience per point of damage. Fractions of experience are not shown but are kept so a balanced stance does not gain or lose experience through rounding.

Death

Death occurs when a player's health reaches zero. The preceding action will be cancelled and the player returns to idling.

Health slowly regenerates on its own and can be modified with the Scroll of Healing. Dying will not result in the loss of exp/items/gold etc.

Skills

Combat skills
Constitution Constitution in addition to the Scroll of Fortitude is the skill that determines a player's maximum hitpoints (HP). The amount of health left can be seen next to the heart icon in the combat page.

Food can restore health inside or outside of battle, and can provide buffs to combat for a short time.

Default auto-eat will only trigger when the missing HP is less than 3/2 the food healing amount. Change auto-eat to percent of HP remaining in settings for high healing food if max HP is too low to trigger the default setting.

Attack Attack determines a player's hit chance, along with the players accuracy bonus.
Strength Strength contributes to your maximum damage per hit, along with the players melee strength bonus.
Defense Defense determines a players dodge chance.

Mastery levels have no effect on combat.

Stats

There are various stats that can affect combat. These stats are determined by a player's equipment (armor and weapon), although each point in a player's level contributes more to stats than equipment.

Accuracy

Accuracy is determined from a combination of stats from equipment and attack level which is used to determine hit chance.

The formula for accuracy is

Keep in mind that the hit chance is also determined by an enemy's defense toward your attack type.

The only way to deal 0 damage is by missing the target, all accurate hits will deal at least 1 damage. The Demon Skin buff can decrease a damage to 0.

Strength

Strength from equipment determines the maximum damage you can deal along with strength level. The damage you deal can also be affected by enchantments such as Scroll of Critical Strike, Scroll of Patience, and Scroll of Recklessness. Keep in mind that patience and recklessness adds to both the minimum and maximum damage while strength only adds to the maximum damage.

Max hit can be calculated with the following formula:

Max hit from a hard-hitting monster can only be decreased with the Scroll of Protection and/or the Demon Skin buff.

Defense

Defense from equipment and bonuses determine the dodge rate along with defense level. Keep in mind that dodge chance is also determined by enemy's attack and your defense to their attack type.

The formula for defense is where you use the corresponding defense bonus for whatever type of attack you are defending from (ex. Stab).

Attack Type

There are three attack types (slash, stab, crush) which is determined by the weapon you use (bare hands are considered crush). Attack type determines the type of defense the enemy uses. This can be important since some enemies are weak to one type of attack, making it easier to hit if that type of attack is used. E.g. all giants are weak to crush, making battleaxes effective weapons to use.

Hit Chance

If Accuracy > Defense:

Attack Speed

Attack speed is a stat that determines the amount of time between attacks. The attack speed differs with every weapon. Bare fists have an attack speed of 2.4 seconds.

The Scroll of Patience increases damage based on how slow the weapon hits.

Image Enchantment Effect
Nimble Increases defense for a short time. Each level of Nimble increases defense by around 10%. Eating food with spider legs as an ingredient will grant this buff; a popular recipe is 5 spider legs.
Demon Skin Reduces all damage taken in combat by the level of the demon skin. This only affects combat, so if consumed while out of combat there will be no effect. If you stop fighting, the buff disappears. It can be created by cooking food with Ichor; an example is 4 apples and 1 Ichor. Stacks are not consumed if the monster hits a 0.
