Chapter 01

At a glance

Dreadmyst Online is played as one of four classes, levelled from 1 to 25 across the world of Fanadin. This site catalogues what's in the game files:

New players: the community's levelling guides walk through the first ten levels quest by quest.

Chapter 02

The four classes

Each class starts with its own spread of the five attributes and its own spell list. Starting attributes don't change as you level; health and mana do.

Chapter 03

Attributes

Strength, Agility, Willpower, Intelligence and Courage are the five attributes. The clearest record of what they do is in spell formulas: each spell effect has a scale formula that can reference them (Courage is written CUR there). The table counts how many class spells mention each attribute.

STR Strength

Appears in 3 class spells, for example Hammer of Might, Mighty Blow, Shield Block. 833 affixes can add it to gear.

AGI Agility

No class spell formula references it. 691 affixes can add it to gear.

WIL Willpower

Appears in 16 class spells, for example Shield Block, Boon of Clairvoyance, Boon of Protection, Chains of Ice. 835 affixes can add it to gear.

INT Intelligence

Appears in 17 class spells, for example Holy Wrath, Radiance, Ethereal Sting, Chains of Ice. 693 affixes can add it to gear.

COU Courage

Appears in 11 class spells, for example Hammer of Might, Holy Wrath, Mighty Blow, Radiance. 828 affixes can add it to gear.

Attributes may also feed derived stats such as critical chance or regeneration, but those calculations aren't in the data this site has, so they aren't described here.

Chapter 04

Levels and experience

The level cap is 25. Health and mana rise every level from the class tables shown above, with a noticeably larger step from level 20 to 21.

Experience is also spent. The game client's character panel lets you buy attribute points and spell ranks with experience: an attribute point costs more the more points you've already put into that attribute, and a spell rank costs more the more spell ranks you've bought in total. The exact costs are computed by the game and aren't in the data files, which is why the build editor doesn't enforce a point budget.

Chapter 06

Dungeons

8 dungeons in the data: 4 for groups and 4 solo. All of them require level 25. 7 of them need a key item to enter.

Chapter 07

Item quality

Generated gear rolls one of six quality tiers, shown as the first word of its name and by its colour. Higher tiers carry more gem sockets and scale affix stats and weapon damage harder. The multipliers are the ones this site's trade and item calculators use.

Named items (quest rewards, drops) use the same colours. Junk tier doesn't appear on generated gear in the data. Browse named items.

Chapter 08

Generated gear and affixes

Most gear is generated: a base item (52 of them, such as Cap, Coif or Axe) at a level from 1 to 25, a quality tier and an affix. Names read [Quality] [Base] of the [Affix], for example Godly Cap of the Atlas. The data holds 7,145 affix entries, each with a level range.

How an affix's stats scale

An affix lists base values. On an item they're multiplied by the stat type, half the item level (at least 1), the slot and the quality tier. Chest, main-hand and ranged items get the full amount; other slots less:

Affix score

Generated items can also carry an affix score word that raises their affix stats. This site records it on trade listings:

Chapter 09

Weapons and materials

Weapon damage grows with level and quality, then gets a weapon-type and a material multiplier. Metal weapons run Bronze to Titanium and wooden ones Aspen to Hickory, sharing the same seven steps:

Worked example from the site's damage formula: a level 25 Godly Diamond dagger deals 109 weapon damage.

Chapter 10

Stats on gear

Every stat an item or affix can carry, with the short name used in trade listings and how many affixes can roll it.

Chapter 11

Trading on this site

The trade board is a noticeboard, not an auction house: players list what they're selling, and buyers contact the seller in game to make the trade.

• You need a verified email and your in-game name on your profile before you can list.
• A listing stays up for 24 hours; expired listings can be put back up from My listings.
• You can have up to 25 active listings at once.
• For generated gear you record the quality, affix, affix score, material and level, so buyers can filter by stats.
• Add items to your wishlist (up to 50) to be notified when someone lists a match.
