Story Background:How do I become an almighty powerful Gladiator?
You need to train and buy some good weapons and armor. Both of these will cost gold, the more you train the more you will need to spend.
The better weapons and armor also cost a lot. Money is the key.
To become top of the ranks will take effort and determination. There are 2 systems of ranks in Gladiatus. The Highscore and the Arena ranks.
Your rank in both of these is shown at the top just to the left of centre of the screen at all times. The Highscore rank is based upon your Honor score. The Arena rank changes as you win battles with the people above you in the arena.
How do I gain honor / experience / gold?
To gain honor / experience / gold there are 5 ways:
- Work in the stable
- Battle in the arena
- Complete a quest
- Complete and expedition
- Sell items on the market
Work in the Stable:
This is an ideal way to make money while you sleep or can't play. Just send your character to work in the stable for 1 - 8 hours. The amount of gold that you will earn will depend on your level (listed under your honor score), the higher your level the more gold you earn per hour. If you work in the stable for a long time you will also gain some experience points.(Note: if you cancel working in the stable you do NOT get any gold or experience)
Battle in the Gladiatus Arena:
This is probably the worst way to make money. Each battle you win will often result in you capturing some of your enemies gold. A lot of the time this will be between 5-20 gold. The capture is between 10-15% of the total gold of the enemy. If you battle an enemy who is a higher level you will also gain a small amount of experience.
Complete a Quest:
This is the most profitable way to gain gold and very good for gaining experience points. Visit the tavern and you will be able to start a quest. There are a number of different kinds of quests, some will require you to use expedition points to go on an expedition and find an item, or kill an enemy. Once you have achieved the goal set out, return to the tavern, or where ever the quest ends (this can be found out in the tavern), you will be rewarded with experience points, honor, gold and sometimes an item.
Complete an Expedition:
Another way to gain lots of gold and experience is to fight enemies while on an expedition. Clicking the small map (in the shape of southern Italy) on menu screen on the left, will allow you to select a place to go on expedition. There are 3 expedition lengths, they cost 2, 4 and 6 points each, and last 10, 20 and 30 minutes respectively. For premium users the cost and length of time are halved.Once you win you will gain gold, experience, honor and sometimes an item dropped by the enemy. (Note: Loosing an expedition battle will result in you gaining a small amount of experience only)
Sell items on the Market:
When completing an expedition you will sometimes win a dropped item from the enemy. Your choice is to equip the item and sell your old one (if the new one is better than what you currently own), or, sell the item. Selling items can gain you a lump sum of gold. But beware, price the item to high and people will not buy.
You can also sell item back to the shops, though this will gain you substantially less gold.
Gold / Skills:
Once you have your gold you can then spend it on better weapons and armor, bought from a shop, market place or auction house.You are also able to spend you gold on training. Clicking the "Training" link on the menu system will take you to visit the trainer. For a sum of gold he will teach you the next level of any given skill. Each skill of your character affects the performance in battle, making you a stronger gladiator. Hover your mouse over each skill and you will see the affects that it will have on your character.
Honor:
Gaining honor in Gladiatus has no "practical" use, but it will increase your ranks in the Highscores. If you are part of a guild it will also be added to the guild score.
Experience:
Additional experience is added to your total experience. Upon reaching a set amount of experience you will pass to the next level (listed under your honor score).To see the current total experience click the overview, it will be listed underneath the character picture, it is the only yellow bar. Hovering your mouse over this will show you how much you have, and what the goal to reach the next level is.
In Summary:
This game is one of the absolute best web browser games out there. Simply stunning, fun and challenging. If you start playing and cant stop... dont blame me, I told you it was great!
