   Below Average Health, Good Insight, Above Average Strength, Below Average Resilience, and 2 Spell Slots.

   Points required: 8,500

   1. Botanist
      

      https://fara.fandom.com/wiki/Botanist

      Botanist is one of the interesting classes you can use in Fara, their unique ability "Familiar Phytology" has a huge potential if you know how to use it efficiently. First of all let's see what the ability is about.

      Familiar Phytology - Botanists have access to the Enrich Plant skill, which allows them to turn any plant into allied Plant baby. Feeding Plant Babies by hand will cause them to grow more powerful, and the chosen food will determine what abilities/skills they have. Casting Enrich Plant while already having a plant familiar will kill the older familiar.

      Basically after using the "Enrich Plant" skill of the botanist on trees or bushes will turn them into an ally plant baby. An allied plant has a total of 4 stages.

      • Baby, Kid, Beast, Behemoth

      As you may have read earlier plant allies can be evolved by being hand fed anything that is edible. You will need a total of 55 food to max out the evolution process of your plant, but always remember to think about on what the 55th food will be since that will determine what type of behemoth you will get! Other than being being able to get them from your first day in your run, you can make new ones that will be stronger the farther you are from Relica! So far I have only tapped into Veteran behemoths but I think there are far more stronger variants the farther we go, for now I will show the stats of an amateur ones below.

      Number of how many you have to feed before evolving along with stats and skills

      Plant	Feedings	Stats	Skills
      Baby	5	average	None
      Kid	15	above average	None
      Beast	35	good	Thorn volley
      Behemoth	?	?	?
      Beasts	?	?	?

      This may help you in the early run if you can get them into a behemoth fast since you may also get a mercenary as another companion with your first battle chest reward when you get to Relica. The stats will go up as you make plant allies when you are farther Relica, and also another good thing is it will not cost you anything other than some few seeds and berries here and there.

      and their type (which determines attunement, spells, and stats) is based on what you feed them.

      Volcanic	Fire	Strength
      Verdant	Earth	Resilience
      Graceful	Water	Charm
      Vengeful	Darkness	Insight
      	Light
      	Air

      Fruit = tropical

      Watchful

      + all?

    Low Health, Good Wisdom, Above Average Strength, Below Average Charisma, and 2 Spell Slots.

    Points required: 15,000

    1. Tips from the Wiki
       

       This class excels in melee combat due to Its Good Resilience and Above Average Strength/Health, which allows this class to take lots of damage while dealing good damage up close. 'Know Thy Foe' also Silences enemies, preventing them from spellcasting. Classes that rely on spells are at a huge disadvantage against this class.

       Some good ways to effectively use Demon Slayer are:

       • Always keep spells that give you Rage, Fortification, and/or Rejuvenation, on you. These spells will come in handy if you cast them before you engage an enemy.
       • Hearty and Robust Meals/Mixtures/Dishes are good for temporary buffs before you fight something or explore dungeons.

    1. Fishmonger…
       
       • Fishmonger's really grindy if you want to do it
       • Get a whole lot of dowels
       • Waypoint your spawn area
       • Once you've got a huge amount of dowels
       • Get a crystal/iron/bronze fishing rod
       • Any uncommon tier fishing rod
       • Crafted with wooden blocks
       • Used for tools
       • So you've got your huge pile of dowels
       • (~100)
       • wow
       • And your uncommon fishing rod
       • Preferably iron, since it's easiest
       • (find a fortress and salvage the doors)
       • (You need to craft a wooden fishing rod to unlock other recipes)
       • Now, go back to spawn with the lake
       • And fish until the rod's ruined
       • With the Fishmonger trait, you should have enough runes to salvage into runic shards and make a repair kit with your dowels + shards
       • Use the repair kit to repair the rod
       • Repeat that process
       • passing down anchient knowlage
       • You should slowly get enough extra runic shards to craft refined tools (25 shards)
       • Use them on the fishing rod
       • Continue fishing until the rod is [ruined] and repairing the rod by salvaging the runes
       • Make it artisan (50 shards)
       • Then start making your other equipment refined
       • And then artisan
       • secret knowlage here wow
       • You should also get a whole bunch of runes that are useful for you
       • Get a rune of curses and a rune of intoxication
       • And set them aside when you get them
       • Once you've got both, drop them in the same place and use /makespell or /ms
       • You will now have an arcane curse of intoxication
       • Fishmonger takes significantly reduced damage while intoxicated, so you can /selfcast 3 to give yourself an arcane curse of intoxication
       • The reason the element chosen is arcane is because very few entities use the arcane element
       • And curse spells increase damage taken from an element
       • The intoxication rune has to be on an attacking spell, since it's a negative effect
       • Basically You curse yourself with intoxication + increased arcane damage taken
       • i knew thats an exploit. i just thought i could use some vodka or smth :slight_smile:
       • But nothing really uses the arcane element so you only really get intoxication
       • Yes, you can use vodka and all other alcohol
       • so in summery fish fish fish curse fish fish fish and get POWA
       • Fishmonger has 2 spell slots, so you can make a second spell too
       • the intox debuff gives you +RES and +CHA
       • But once you have a bunch of booze and a tower shield then you are practically unkillable

    Points required: 0

    1. Tips from the Wiki
       

       Gatekeeper's are very good at protecting allies, making them very good at escort quests. Their Protect ability allows them to half all incoming damage dealt to an ally, at the cost of around 1/3 of your stamina. They automatically deflect projectiles aimed toward them, and their armor takes less durability damage from combat and wear-and-tear alike.

       Some good ways to effectively use Gatekeeper are:

       • Try and always keep a Silencing spell ready. Silencing enemies prevents them from spellcasting anything that hinders your ability to use Protect or any other spells.
       • Gatekeepers have Average Strength and Finesse at the start, so its up to you whether you want to use ranged or melee weapons.
       • Its also a good idea to keep meals/mixtures/dishes with either Strength or Finesse buffs on hand for temporary buffs.
       • Shields are very useful to Gatekeepers. With full armor and a shield that has Average or higher damage reduction, there is a chance that the Gatekeeper will be able to take about 2-3 hits without dealing direct damage to your Health.

This ability only works when the target is uninjured, and has a small chance to instantly kill them. Additionally, Kensai have a higher than usual critical strike chance against opponents in offensive stances.

    Average Health, Good Dexterity, Above Average Wisdom, Below Average Intelligence, and 2 Spell Slots.

    Points required: 60,000

    1. Tips from the Wiki
       

       Kensai's are good at quick damage dealing. Their 'Samurai Showdown' ability has a wide variety of uses, including the ability to practically teleport to an area in an instant. Depending on how you want to play Kensai, the class is very expendable.

       Some good ways to play Kensai are:

       • 'Samurai Showdown' doesn't have to be used against a target. Since the ability allows you practically teleport, you can use this to your advantage by teleporting away from an enemy or conflict that you have a low chance of winning. Due to the amount of stamina it uses, it is really more of a last resort.
       • If you have a ranged weapon (either a sling or bow), you can try this.
       • Shoot your target at range and keep an even distance. If you feel the target is getting too close, use 'Samurai Showdown' to teleport behind the target, then keep shooting at range. This will help limit the damage you take significantly if you play your cards right
       • The Fury you get after dashing through an enemy boosts your critical damage, so it's a good idea to have either a light or an illumination spell to guarantee a critical hit.
31. KUNG FU MASTER
    

    Fluid Movement - While unarmed, Kung Fu Masters have a chance to redirect incoming attacks when in an evasive stance, reverse push attempts when in a defensive stance, and knock targets prone when in an offensive stance.

35. PEASANT
    

    Unremarkable.

    The deeply unremarkable "Horrendous" Peasant class with no traits and of terrible Health is unlikely to ever amount to much. Even Experts are considered unlikely to win playing as a Peasant.

    Terrible Health. All other Stats "Horrendous". No Spells.

    Points required: 100,000

    1. Note

       • 2 element {Ghostweave Sack} |Clever Widget|
       • Water+X Shield of Rejuvenation
         • Gets you maxed FIN, RES, and STR, as well as Good CHA and Great INS, if I remember those last two correctly, as well as High DR and as good Attunements as you'll get without being an Elemancer and max inventory size
    2. Notes
       

       Honestly might try things other than Pugilist when I start playing again. With Pugilist's main advantage gone (no longer does better than other classes simply by having bonuses for using the highest attack speed weapons, since attack speed is gone,) I might try a Nurturing Bees Beekeeper run, maybe a Fishmonger or go back to Viking or something.

       Basically just the tanky classes still, but blah. Don't have to think for early game on tankibois. rip attack speed

       Pugilist's interrupting heavies are still a huge boon, but I won't be 100% that it's better than other class bonuses until I try other classes.

    Sticky Fingers - Ragamuffins have an increased chance to steal successfully and can find a wider variety of items when stealing. If Ragamuffins have a free hand, they have a chance to steal weapons dodged while in an evasive stance.

    Points required: 30,000

    1. Tips from the Wiki
       

       Reaper is a very complex class to play. With low health and strength, its hard to get kills without learning spells. Some of the most important runes you will need are:

       • Rejuvenation, Fortification, Blinding, Silencing

       Another drawback is its ability 'Deathsense', which buffs strength and insight when a nearby entity is close to dying. With low strength to start out with, getting close and trying to melee is very hard, and can kill you nearly every time without the proper equipment. Having at least one healing spell is crucial to playing this class, as you will find out your health gets drained in a matter of a couple rounds.

43. RHAPSODIST
    

    Captivating Crescendo - Rhapsodists sing a note whenever they attack. Each attack stance produces a different note, and once three notes have been sung, Rhapsodists will belt out one of several possible songs, all of which have different effects.

    1. More about the known songs
       

       The Rhapsodist is a class in FARA with a very unique play style.

       • Whenever the Rhapsodist attacks, it plays a note.
       • The note is dependent if the attack is a normal or a Heavy.
       • When you sing four notes, it makes a song.
       • Different songs have different effects.
       • The order of the notes in the song does matter, unless it's the Cleansing song.
       • The two notes are short (normal attack) and long (heavy attack).
       • All buffs applied to allies with songs are also applied to yourself.

       Note 1	Note 2	Note 3	Note 4	Song Name	Effect
       See below*				Song of Cleansing	removing negative effects from nearby allies
       Long	Long	Long	Long	Song of Destruction	boosting attack power of nearby allies
       Short	Long	Short	Short	Song of Shadows	enter in stealth
       Short	Short	Long	Short	Song of Diligence	reducing the stamina used by nearby allies
       Long	Long	Long	Short	Song of Sadness	decreasing the mood of nearby enemies
       Long	Long	Short	Long	Song of Bliss	increasing the mood of nearby allies
       Short	Long	Long	Long	Song of Wastrels	draining stamina of nearby enemies
       Short	Short	Short	Long	Song of Protection	reduce damage taken by allies
       Short	Short	Short	Short	Song of Lasting	increase duration of nearby effect
       Long	Short	Long	Long	Song of Light	illuminating nearby enemies

       • *There's seven different ways of performing the Song of Cleansing:
         • 2S and 2L (in any order) and L - S - S - S

       The attacks don't have to be consecutive, and only the last one has to hit a target for the song to start.

       For example: you can hit the air three times, travel to another tile, wait for a full day and even rest and you will complete the song on your next valid attack (as of 0.0.15.18b)

    2. Note
       

       Apparently the spellthief's special spell can't be cast through the /spells window, it has to be manually casted through the command prompt atm

       But if you type "/cast 3" in the command prompt it should work. Another thing to consider is that you can't copy innate abilities (like grasping earth from legendary beasts.)

1. crazy math
   

   If you're strong enough to move to another settlement, can you turn your naked self into a being with godlike stats while unlocking all the classes playing the meta-game of animal researcher?

   there are 5 primary stats. lets say they average '10 of 20'. you'd need 50 9th shards to become a god. that's 500 new animal species discovered, and maybe 500 days spent in game.

   hmm, lol, i wonder how long brute-forcing 10 find-animal quests would take and if i could resist the urge to just complete the key to be done with the game.

   maybe i should complete the key first and see what revelations that brings. decisions. decisions. /end crazy math

      • Kris inflict poison and khopeshes disarm attackers if THEY try to do a heavy
      • I'm not sure why I'm not using Melee weapons with a range.
        • Probably because as a Gatekeeper with a nasty arcane ward and a protect-spell i can survive almost anything by wielding two tower shields. Still..
      • Nets may be thrown (from inventory?) to immobilize a target at range.
        • Since they have a range of 2 in Melee, they are listed here.

      Strength or Finesse	Range	Heavy Effect	Components	Size	Dmg.
      Shank Knuckle	Melee	Causes the wielder to step backward	2 Daggers	2

   Traps & Rocks

5. Summary
   

   All Ranged Weapons, are based on Finesse.

   The Sling and likely all thrown weapons, can also use Strength.

   • Throw Darts/Arrows/Stones? Are these the goto thrown weapons?

   Attack speed was removed, now each attack takes one turn regardless of weapon - likely making quivers and bandoliers (which gave the speed boni) largely cosmetic/flair items. (I saw something about that. need to check!)

   1. Throwing
      

      Needs research, but could be it own section.

4.4.5 Traps

1. Constructed Traps
   

   These types of trap require you to use a workbench in order to work with the hard base material determining the trap's power. That can be anything measured in Chunks, Ingots, Ores, Deposits etc.

      Bear	Just Ingot and String	Immobilize

      bone		lantern
      bone		violin

      I might have missed an item there, but suddenly he asked for a crafted input, turning bone nunchucks > swordchucks.

      After he wanted the nunchucks he started asking for wooden blocks. Perhaps we're coming close to a new materials tier after 12..13 runs.. Verry nice, very grindy, very medal-expensive!

      3 wooden blocks > wooden anvil

      Afterwards he wanted bones again..

      Anyway, now i can consult the Materials Tables and better versions of his more sensible items. neat!

      • Keeping these prototypes makes sense to me right now.
      • Signs.. used to be terribly important in the old version i played. Perhaps they have a discoverable function..
      • I guess I have to keep feeding him till he comes up with a pickaxe for mining!

   Fury	raises Critical Damage dished out
   Illumination	receive more% Crit Hits, Stealth denied

   Strength	Rage	Weakness

   Additionally,

   Rune of	Effect
   Intoxication	Lowers Finesse, Raises chance of stumbling

4. Notes
   
   • Forces are hugely useful, especially compared to other spells
     • I had a Thunder Force of Quickness in one run from a labyrinth
     • knocking people back 3 tiles for a relatively small stamina cost If you get rejuve on that, you're VERY good off

8.2.2 Stabilizer Runes

1. All spells are created equal…
   

   …Except beam, meteor, and barrage spells

8.2.3 Elemental Runes

8.2.4 Farming Runes

1. Dig and or Fish.. rather alike, no?
   
   • haven't fished yet, so i can't quite compare
   • Fishing with an iron fishing rod used to be viable for Fishmonger, but I spent an entire artisan iron fishing rod with Fishmonger and didn't get a single rune
2. Experiments
   

   As a reality check on digging, I performed these experiments at a nice looking beach 25km from home. The shack came in really handy during my travels since I wound up with quite a few ingots and wound up sleeping there several times.

   The results of my first/only two test runs are shown below. The results surprised badly!

   • counter-intuitive
   • this trashes my understanding of the defintion of the stats
     • ought to determine the role of finesse in this if there is to be any hope of salvaging it

   Both Digs	<Iron Shovel>	<Crystal Shovel>
   Strength	Good+
   Finesse	Good	Average
   Resilience	Legendary+
   Insight	Good+	Great
   Charm	Good+	Great
   Repairs	1	1

   The rejuv/arrow rune numbers.. meaningless, let someone who knows their stuff and can rebalance their stats or keep them godlike rerun this.

   DIG #1	<Iron Shovel>	<Crystal Shovel>
   Crystal Ingots Made	83	83
   Total Runes	50	26
   Elemental Runes	4	0
   Rejuvenation Runes	1	4
   Arrow Runes	0	2
   DIG #2	<Iron Shovel>	<Crystal Shovel>
   Crystal Ingots Made	83	83
   Total Runes	26	33
   Elemental Runes	4	6
   Rejuvenation Runes	0	0
   Arrow Runes	0	0

   • 332 Crystal Ingots and 135 Runes richer, I'm not complaining.
   • without notes and interruptions these numbers might take ~90mins?

8.2.5 Notes

So would you all save those runes or make something from them?
Not sure what the best option here is.

Hm, I think it depends on what is your highest stat

If you have high insight, and a bunch of spell slots 
it could be better to craft the runes into spells

If you have bad insight then casting spells isn't that good,
 because you burn a lot of your stamina doing so
Selfcast spells are good in that case
Like wards, shields or blessings

Those take less stamina to use, and you can couple them
 with good effector runes (like rejuvenation) to support your run

8.3.1 Intro

8.3.2 Scrolls

8.3.3 Spell-tombs

8.3.4 You must have a healing spell

1. Water Chain of Rejuvenation
   

   I wound up making a "Water Chain of Rejuvenation" and upgraded it using Obelisk Shards until it became "Flawless". Its not that great with my stats yet but it doubles as an offensive spell which keeps enemies where they are while i heal a little every turn for a few turns. It might be awesomer for a ranged class to use chain spells, but its good enough to keep melee guys from ganging up on me too badly.

   I know you experts out there are saying to yourselves.. what an idiot, doesn't he know.. and I want to stop you right there! I know its not perfect, but its fine to have to drop an item from your pack if there's not anything else in range for you to cast the chain on.

   Anyway.. I had no shield runes when I made the spell 50 days ago. And I still don't have one, nor did I get another rejuvenation rune since. So if you like hoarding to figure things out, try not to be stupid about it, these things are meant to be used .. and you can always spend a week fishing and digging at a beach. I will ;)

8.3.5 Notes on Elemental Damage

8.3.6 Random Notes

Something very good to have if you have 2 or more spell slot 
is a curse spell + another damaging spell.
Probably better if you have 3 spell slots, 
so you have some utility in your last one

yeah fire spear adn curse is brutal
lol, Spear of brutality:

and have like a ward of healing for a 3rd spell
shields is also good as an option, because it boosts your attunement:)

I saw one of my mercs had casted a shield
And I looked at the stats on my reanimated corpse the shield was casted on
And it had attunement in the shield's element

Earth + Fire means slow + poison + burning (maybe?) and extra damage

1. Dragging the guy
   

   I wish I had not forgotten to /grab and drag the unconscious SOB off the edge of the map to get him looked after. Which makes me think of something! Do you know that if you're dragging something or someone, all you need to do to let go, is to hold something else in that hand. Say you happen to get attacked, just draw your weapon and you'll let go what you were pulling.

   But hey, most people seem to mind if you drag them around. The ingame message about 'attacking' might actually mean something, even when you're all alone, dragging an unconscious person away from a burning house.

   Not sure what I'm to do with the guy. He used to drop some loot for saving him in that old version I played; See if you can figure out what you need to do to wake him up again!

9.3.9 Travelers/Caravan

1. Tips for solving the mystery
   

   Typically the activities mentioned fall into the following categories [study], [trade], [relaxing], [family], and [entertainment]. You will need to talk to all the travellers and figure out which one they report as the absolute worst to do at the destination. If two activities are tied, one of them is unlikely to be used as an alibi by anyone. Confronting and accusing the traveller who says they're going there for this purpose will unlock a fight. The culprit will turn hostile and try to kill you. Two ambushers will show up and assault the culprit first, and you second. After winning the fight you can peacefully collect the rewards.

   At the type of writing, it is unclear if telling on the culprit will just fail the event.

   Once the event is over all travellers that have not been accused (you could accuse the wrong one and fail the event) will offer a quest, similar to commoners in towns.

2. Dude!
   

   I wound up accusing someone based on nothing more than them saying they wanted peace and quiet and were going to a place for the entertainment.

   Mayhem ensued, loot dropped and in the end only the guy sitting the furthest away from the action survived the assault by the accused's pals. three dead to solve a robbery. wth!

   now the shivering sole survivor and inheritor of all the trashy loot i can't haul away want to make funeral music with a clay triangle. a clay triangle! one moment while i get him one..

   wait! one body is missing. ah! one more survivor after all. he freaked out and ran away. good for him.

9.3.10 Wishing Well

9.3.11 Just plain cool

1. Cow pasture
   

   Found a serene pasture with a cow, a little lake, lots of flowers, and a BigChest. I petted the cow a zillion times, fed her a flower and took her to the nearest settlement.

2. A shrouded figure
   

   Just that. Empty woods, Orange Square. Hollow eyes look at me and the figure vanishes before I can inspect them. Spooky. Is he the guy taking all the kids I can't find? Was he in one of the graves I dug up? What did I stumble on? I just needed a wooden log! Should I dig there? /pug wonders on, then, wait! ..

   Awakening as from a dream, he recalls the moment his memories began. There he had seen that figure loitering over one of the bandits that keep coming after him and his cow. Did that figure save him from a certain death? Is he somehow connected to that society of researchers only elders seem to know about?

9.5.1 About

1. Jade circle: Social/stealth
   

   Is a really good faction for stealthy characters (has one of the best traits for spellcasters)

2. Radiant hand: Combat/Tanking/buffs and debuffs
   

   Focusing on Strength? go for the hand!

   The three first Radiant Hand Traits give you Damage Reduction against Piercing, Slashing and Bludgeoning Damage

3. Will of the wild: Resource gathering/crafting/exploration
   

   Is good for crafting a lot of stuff, and getting a lot of loot

   Traits will give you options in crafting such as:

   • Reduces material costs of all craftable items
   • Increases materials gathered from foraging skills

9.5.2 Ranks

1. The Diplomat trait in action
   

   After reloading and doing it a second time, I took the Jade Circle's Diplomat trait right after giving the man just one Medal to add to my reputation.

   This resulted in me becoming a "Legend of the Jade Circle" while being 'merely' hated insted of despised. Which is cool.

   Faction Ranks	Medals to get Rank	Traits	Trait-Cost	By Others
   Legend	1q,19m	1 Major	35	Hated

   See the /factions (aka "F") window for a full list of Traits and the ranks required to purchase them.

   • Trait Cost: Shards per trait purchased at that level.
   • Don’t enter Castles of the Factions that hunt you unless you want a fight.
     • Fortresses are ok, just not Castles

   Even as a momentary Diplomat I at best hope to neutralize my relations with the different factions. Achieving world-peace and good relations with everyone appears to be an imposibility to me atm. Perhaps one day close to never, I'll overcome my usual Avg- Charisma and try as a Politician.

   (This seeming discover appears to have surfaced a bug and atm, an upcoming update will reset the game of figuring out what traders do. Perhaps they'll soon trade? Stay tuned!)
