Arcana76
Know your abilities, build your equipment and make yourself at home. The rules you need, without a quest walkthrough.
Create your account and character on the website, then install and open the game through the Arcana76 launcher.
Use 1–4 or the ability-bar buttons for your vocation abilities. Use the + beside an ability to spend one available point.
Ryven, Brannor, Zelior and Belvar each have four abilities.
See the Vocations page for each ability’s mana, base cooldown, targeting and rank preview. Equipment and Magic Level change your actual results; the game shows your current costs and cooldowns.
Ryven’s passive reduces the remaining cooldowns of his other three abilities by 0.5 seconds for each successful ability cast, including Overcharge. Damage ticks, secondary rune effects, items, spoken spells and failed casts do not trigger it.
Read the full vocation and ability reference.
The permanent Rune Pouch reaches players with the next signed client release: one matching rune per ability slot, to customize your four abilities.
There are 40 Very Rare runes that change a spell: 12 each for Ryven, Brannor and Zelior, and 4 for Belvar. There are also four Common Initiate runes and a Blank Rune.
Runes change how their assigned spell works. They do not grant random Magic Level, maximum HP, mana or cooldown-reduction bonuses.
Runes can’t currently be obtained in the game: monster rune drops, the Rune Mentor and the Rune Attuner are not active. This list shows what exists; it does not announce a new way to get runes.

No runes match these filters. Try another name or clear the filters.
Character level, Magic Level and ability ranks are separate forms of progress.
The four playable vocations start at level 8. Each level above 8 adds one spendable Ability Point. Every ability starts at rank 1; buying its next rank costs one point.
Use the + control beside an ability to upgrade it. Its tooltip previews the next rank. Points can be saved for later; unspent points and character level alone do not add direct ability damage.
Four side quests each give one point, once per character. If you finished one of them before this reward existed, it still counts. Other quests do not give Ability Points.
Magic Level improves through qualifying mana expenditure and contributes to damage separately from purchased ranks. Drinking a fluid or simply recovering mana does not train it.
Monster Tasks are automatic, persistent hunting progress for each eligible monster species, separate from the main questline and sidequests.
Every eligible task is always active. Kills that award you ordinary experience advance that monster's task automatically: there is no NPC to visit, task to accept, reward to claim or limit on active tasks.
Open Monster Tasks with the skull icon in the right-hand panel icon bar, below Menu. The monster list shows each species, its current stage, kill progress, XP bonus and total kills. Use Find to filter by name, and click a star to keep favourite tasks at the top. Tracking only changes the display; untracked tasks still progress.
Each stage needs the new kills shown below, not that many lifetime kills. On completion, you automatically receive bonus XP equal to the stage's percentage of the ordinary XP you earned from that species during that stage. This is a completion reward, not an immediate multiplier on every kill. The next stage then starts at zero; Stage VI and later repeat every 2,000 new kills at +40%.
| Stage | New kills | XP bonus on completion |
|---|---|---|
| I | 100 | +100% |
| II | 400 | +80% |
| III | 500 | +70% |
| IV | 1,000 | +60% |
| V | 1,500 | +50% |
| VI and later | 2,000 | +40% |
Each player who receives ordinary XP from an eligible monster's death gets one task kill, based on their own contribution. Party membership alone does not grant credit: there is no shared party XP. Your own damage and XP credited through your summon count together, never as two kills.
Only attackable monster species that give experience are eligible. Killing summoned or formerly summoned monsters does not advance tasks.
Progress is saved with your character and survives logout, relog and normal server restarts. Starred favourites are also remembered for each character in your client settings. Monster Tasks award experience; they do not award sidequest Ability Points or quest items.
The Arcane Artificer develops your existing apprentice wand; you keep the same item.
Equip the apprentice wand in your active weapon hand. Say hi, then inspect, upgrade, combine, specialize or tutorial. Each paid offer states the price and requires yes; no cancels it.
Upgrades advance one tier at a time and are guaranteed when requirements are met. Payment uses carried coins and materials. There is no character-level requirement. If your inventory is full or the exchange fails, nothing is taken and nothing is given.
The tier table lists the price to reach that tier from the preceding one. Wand range stays three tiles, attack interval two seconds, mana cost zero and its original element stays unchanged.
The tier bonus of your equipped wand raises the base damage of your vocation abilities, fixed Blaze ticks included. It does not raise maximum-HP effects, and follow-up effects use the cast’s already raised damage instead of adding the bonus twice.
Arcane Shards can drop from Trolls, Orc Warriors, Cyclopes, Minotaur Mages and Vampires; Cores from the last four of them. The Artificer also combines 20 Shards and 250 gold into one Core.
| Tier | Wand damage | Ability base damage | Shards | Cores | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — Base | 8–12 | +0% | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 — Empowered | 11–16 | +8% | 5 | 0 | 500 |
| 3 — Awakened | 15–21 | +16% | 10 | 1 | 2,500 |
| 4 — Refined | 20–28 | +24% | 20 | 3 | 8,000 |
| 5 — Ascended | 27–37 | +35% | 30 | 6 | 25,000 |
Rarity and rolled attributes add equipment choices without character-level equip requirements.
Equipment may be Common, Rare, Very Rare or Legendary. Common generated equipment has no rolled affixes; Rare has two; Very Rare and named Legendary equipment have three. Legendary effects belong to specific named items, not every randomly generated piece.
Affix strength follows the defeated monster’s base experience tier, not your character’s level. Eligible equipment families have their own possible attributes. Existing vocation and slot restrictions still apply.
Equipped items contribute; backpack contents do not. Magic Level, maximum mana/HP, mana regeneration, cooldown reduction and damage resistances are distinct attributes.
Fixed item regeneration ticks do not run inside protection zones. This is separate from the vocation mana-recovery system and its percentage regeneration modifier.
Damage is rounded to whole numbers. A small Magic Level increase may not change a hit at all, especially when the bonus is divided among several hits or ticks; that does not mean the item stopped working.
Your depot is personal storage. All three Grayhaven lockers access the same character’s belongings.
From the temple, go upstairs into the large hall and leave through the east door. Look for the Grayhaven Depot sign by the bank at the north end of the plaza. Enter an empty booth through its stone arch and use the locker in front of you.
Use Look on a house door to see the house name, owner, rent and rental instructions. To rent a vacant house, stand outside facing its entrance door and say !buyhouse.
The first 30-day payment comes from coins you carry. Later rent comes from your bank balance: deposit money with the banker. Coins left inside a depot chest are not bank funds.
Unpaid rent produces depot warning letters and warnings when you are online. There is a seven-day warning period before eviction, processed at the server’s rent checks. Keep enough money in the bank rather than relying on a last-minute payment.
Say !leavehouse inside your house to give it up. Movable belongings are recovered to the owner’s personal depot; eviction uses the same recovery route. Item attributes and binding remain intact.
| House | Rent per 30 days |
|---|---|
| Anvil Cottage | 4,500 gold |
| Cooper’s Cottage | 4,000 gold |
| Fountain Row Loft | 7,000 gold |
