Class choices and starting directions
The full class guide records 56 named abilities and their level unlocks; this summary compares the first build decision.
| Class | Primary attribute and starter | Useful direction to investigate | First question to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Strength; Woodsman’s Hatchet | Basic/crit and Vulnerable, shouts, Whirlwind or a bleed-oriented Strong loop | Do I need sustained melee survival or more coverage around the hero? |
| Sorcerer | Intelligence; Hooked Bronze Staff | Fire summons, Cold/slowed targets or Lightning spell coverage | Which element and named spell do my talents and gear actually support? |
| Hunter | Dexterity; Simple Wooden Bow | Poison, traps, ranged Basic attacks or Rapid Fire | Am I supporting poison ticks, trap direct hits or the Strong Attack channel? |
| Monk | Dexterity; Leather-Wrapped Quarterstaff | Furious Fist, Sacred Orbs or Piercing Lunge | Does my present rune threshold support Basic, Special or Strong damage? |

Deskrawl questions before a longer session
Answers drawn from the revised guides; read their source and version conditions before applying them.
ApolloTrail reports repetition of the current node. Select the next progression node yourself; an unattended farming loop does not make that decision.
No. This setup tests an application that remains running. Closed-game XP and gold require the separate Expedition Camp system described in the expedition guide.
AFK Meta and Wikily describe Auto-Sell at pickup, without occupying carriage space. An empty cart can be expected when most equipment is disposable.
It cannot improve the equipped item by itself. If the replacement rarity is disposed of, keep it for comparison and inspect the weapon’s actual damage and effects.
Wikily reports width, resolution and always-on-top controls only with Fullscreen off. Check that state and your current menu text.
Official 0.1.9 says the icon remains visible. The hide shortcut is not described as tray-only behavior.
