Character screen
Each account allows you to have 4 characters in total. These characters can be either Elvine or Aresden.
To create a new character, click on the “Create New Character” button. Enter your name, and design the character as you want. You’ll also have to pick your starter Stats “Warrior”, “Mage” or “Magician”.
Warrior: Generally VIT, STR and DEX as main Stats. These characters are close range attackers. They have high defense since their high strength allows them to use stronger armor. Warriors are generally easier to level.
Mage: Utilizing INT and MAG as well as a little DEX and VIT. Mages are distance attackers as their low armor makes them vulnerable to physical attacks. They have a variety of spells for defense and attacking, and can be quite powerful. Mages are slightly more difficult to level than a warrior.
Magician: Also called a “Battle Mage”, “Plate Mage”. Although they have the INT required to obtain most spells, their MAG is generally low as they sacrificed this stat for additional STR, DEX or VIT. These characters are incredibly complex and difficult to train as they have balance the statistics while still maintaining a valuable leveling rate. However they make good PvP support characters.
Helbreath also uses Guild Masters as a key part to both Crusades and Sieges. To be a Guild Masters require you need to be a Combatant (Read more about play modes below) , and to have 20 charm and be level 20+. While they sacrifice stat points, they play an important part in a Crusade and Siege.

Items & Leveling up
Each of the monsters within Helbreath give you experience points. The person who gets the last hit, gains the most experience points. If you are in a party the experience points are split between the people in the party. There are a few different type of drops that can appear after a monster dies.
First Drops: When a monster dies, these items appear where the monster once stood. To pick up the item, click on your character while standing on top of them. These drops range from gold to potions, statted weapons and statted armors.
Second Drops: When the monsters body disappears there is a chance at a second drop.
There are the default drops that appear from all monsters such as Zemstone of Sacrifice, Xelima Stones, Merien Stones and Ancient Stone Pieces. Some monsters have a body part that drops when they die, some are used in alchemy while others are used in events.
Monsters also have a chance at dropping unique items including jewelry, special spells and weapons. They are are often worth a lot within the Helbreath community. Be sure to check around prior to selling, trading or using it.
Be careful not to double click a special spell if you find one, as this will use the item.
As you level up and place your stats the monsters you fight will become easier. Different maps have different monsters on them, the harder the monster the more experience you’ll get. Explore the maps and find a place that is good for leveling.
