Top Information Bar

The bar that runs across the top of the screen is where you can find quick information about all your stats, equipment, level, experience, and gold. We will work from left to right.

Character Summary Bar

First, you’ll see the name you chose for your character when you first registered for FallenSword. To the left of your name is a little head icon. If you hover over that with your cursor, you’ll find the Character Summary which lists all of your stats. You’ll notice the information is arrayed like this:

* Name:
* Level:
* Attack:
* Defense:
* HP:
* Armor:
* Damage:

Next to each of these categories is a number, except for the first one of course. These numbers are important because they tell you the combined value of the stat modifiers of all your equipment and the total of the level points you have applied to your character. In battle with a creature or another player these stats determine who wins and who loses. When you equip an item, the stats of that item are immediately applied to your character. If you ever need to know the specific stats of an item, just hover over it and a pop-up window will appear that details everything about that item. You can go to the section titled Character for a full description of the item modifiers. If you click on the head icon, you will be taken directly to your character's Profile.

Stamina Bar

The next item in the information bar is your currently available stamina. There is an icon next to this number as well. Hover over it and you’ll see your current stamina, along with your current Gain per Hour and the next time you will gain stamina. Starting out you’ll have a maximum of 500 stamina points available to you, and you’ll regain stamina at the rate of 50 points per hour. Some equipment will add to either your maximum stamina or the rate at which you gain it back. When the number here goes below 20, you won’t be able to attack creatures until your stamina increases again. Once it reaches 0 you won’t be able to move around the game map. By clicking on the stamina icon you can go to the Upgrades page where you can purchase increases to your stamina with FallenSword Points.

Recruiting Link

Next you will find a Recruiting link. Click on it and you’ll be taken to a page that describes how to refer people to FallenSword using your unique player ID. This way you can gain free FallenSword Points to use towards character upgrades.

Level Progress Meter

The next item you’ll see is your Level Progress meter. If you hover over the icon next to the meter you’ll see a pop-up box that gives you specific information on your current level, the experience points required to reach the next level, and how much experience you’ll gain per hour. The information is laid out like this:

* Current Level – The level you’ve currently earned.
* Progress – Shows how far you’ve earned towards the next level.
* Current XP – How much experience you’ve earned so far from killing creatures in the game.
* Next XP – How much experience is required to reach your next level.
* Remaining – The ‘Current XP’ subtracted from the ‘Next XP’.
* Gain Per Hour – How fast you gain XP automatically. It can be increased by certain pieces of equipment.
* Next Gain – When you’ll get your next automatic XP gain.

FSP Bar

The next section of the info bar shows how many FallenSword Points you currently have. See the section titled Support FallenSword to see how you can gain these points. If you click on the icon next to the number you’ll be taken to the Upgrades page so you can spend your points.

Wealth Summary Bar

Finally, you’ll see your Wealth Summary, which shows how much gold you are currently carrying. This number will not reflect any gold in your personal Bank. If you click on the icon you’ll be taken to the Bank so you can make deposits or withdraw money you’ve previously deposited. By default you only get one deposit per day, but this can be increased in the Upgrades page. Keep in mind that if you belong to a Guild you may choose to either deposit gold into your personal Bank or into the Guild bank. To do both you’d have to Upgrade your character.
