PREVIOUS NOTE:
This guide will not show how to build a character, personally, I think that the build must be readapted, each 24 or 36 levels, to improve it to the new mobs you must fight, the new stuff you can use, your game-play style, etc.
Also I want say thanks to Kriss, Neeraj, and all who have helped me to make this guide.
Clans and Roles In 9 Dragons we'll find 2 Factions (Black and White), each one of them has 3 clans, and each Clan has 4 Roles
When we start play 9 Dragons we must select a starting map, but we start like vagabond and when we are reaching levels we can become into one of these Clans doing a quest
You can see several guides about this in the
Help, Tips and Guides Index
Chi and Stats points (Chi Breathing) We must know the
difference between Chi points and Stats; we can see that difference easy if we press
C in or keyboard and we look at the down side of the Character Information window:
- The
Chi points are what you receive each time you level up
Normally you receive 4 Chi points, but when you change the Level Category and do Chi Breathing you receive 6 chi points.
You must do
Chi Breathing being in a safe zone because once you start it you can't stop until Chi Breathing is finished and during this time you can be attacked and killed by monsters. One only hit can kill you
- The
Stats are what you have added to each Attribute of your character
This difference is especially important since each Role has a penalized Attribute which needs 2 Chi points to gain 1 Stat, they are:
Using our Chi points we can't add more than 250 Stats in each Attribute, but we can increase this number using special item or with buff:
-
Elixirs:
The Elixirs can increase our stats depending on the level of the elixir, but elixirs can have negative effects decreasing the stats.
You can read more about elixirs in the
Elixirs (up to level 6) guide, made by Acclaim Storm
To use an elixir, put in peace mode and do right click on the elixir you want to use.
Once you have used an elixir your intoxication increase, you should wait until the intoxication is 0 to use other elixir.
You can see the effect of elixirs in the Attributes in yellow numbers (positive effects) or red number (adverse effects)
-
Relics, Accessories, Ornaments and Epithets In 9 Dragons you can find a lot of different Accessories and Relics which can increase your stats and/or abilities. They must be worn in the pockets of your clothes
You can know the
Accessories, Relics, Trinkets and others in the guide made by warda
Some Ornaments can increase specifics abilities if they are added into the slots of wardrobe or weapons.
You can read more about them in the
Ornaments' Guide made by warda
The epithets in 9 Dragons don't add stats, but each epithet increase certain abilities, you can see them in the
Epithets Guide made by warda
-
Buff Healers and hybrids have buff skills; with them they can increase their own stats or the stats of other players.
How much increase your stats the buff skill depend on the cheng (level) of the skill and the role of the buffer.
The principal
difference between the buff skills of healers and hybrid are:
.....• Healers has 3 selective buff skills (Strength/Dexterity; Constitution/Essence; Wisdom) while Hybrids has one only skill for all stats
.....• When the skill is maxed (Cheng 10) Healers can increase by 25 the stats while Hybrids can increase by 15
When you are buffed while you had a previous buff, only the higher buff will keep in your character.
By this way, if a Healer (or Hybrid) buffs you and, some time later, other Healer (or Hybrid) buffs you with lower Cheng's Skill, you will keep the remaining time and increase stats of the first buff.
But when the second buff is same or higher Cheng (level) than the previous one, the new buff replaces the old one
If a healer and a hybrid buff you the effect of both buffs will be added
When you have been buffed you will se different icons in the left upper side of your screen
..........Healer
............. Hybrid
............ Both at time
..... ..... ..... -
Cavity press You can buy from hermits (by 500 gold) this kind of buff: each one increase by 5 in one attribute, and you only can use one each time.
Once you have bought it the effect will stand during 30 minutes
-
Item Mall There are some items that can increase your stats; to see more information about them you can check these guides:
Premium Package Cavity Press guide made by Acclaim Phew
InGame - ItemMall made by soulspawn

COLOR OF STATS When we have only the stats from chi points we see the called
Stats Base in white numbers, these stats are same than you can see in your selection character screen
When we have increased the stats with relics, accessories, cavity press or with buff we'll see them in green
Certain items can decrease some stats, also some bosses debuff you decreasing your stats, when your stats get lower value than the stats base you will see them in red
We must have this in mind because when any weapon, relic or any other stuff need certain number of stats, this requirement is related about to stats base (white numbers), not the total stats you can see in green or red
