Stat and talent calculators

Stat calculator up to level 360, which is the projected final level based on some sound reasoning.
Although not completely accurate it seems to be mostly accurate
Credits to nretep from tianxia of course, its his im just linking to it since its so useful.

Talent calc in chinese, the pics should make it should obvious how to use it, just click on the talents to fill them
If you want to go to different class, click on one of the 4 big buttons, click on the same one you are on if you want to reset the talents to try reallocating points again.

Eventually i might end up making a advanced class talent calc since there doesnt seem to be one available at present, but no promises on when i'll get around to it.

Fashion gear

Costumes/fashion gear can be worn in a new slot specifically for it, that will be added in an expansion after the the current upcoming one, lots of cool new things can be worn just for the sake of appearance.
As new content as added, even cooler and cute stuff is added eventually.
Some examples:















Summoned creatures

Around level 180 taoist and mystic get to use summoned creatures, these should be in the upcoming expansion for kh which we will be getting soon.
Taoist- Ice demon and evil sword summon
Mystic-Spirit sword and fire summon
















Latest kh taiwan expansion mounts

Brief look at tactician types

Current reigning Tact/Scholar king of forbidden city, ZhaoZiLong.
+30 fan, GM shock dragon, GM rings x2, GM cape, amulet of the gods
Well known for his high spending and only player that rapes hard that is frequently accused of hacks even before acquiring a +30 fan

There are many possible ways to make a tact, so many combinations of stats and talents to create unique outcomes

Scholar
Very high int
Focus on damaging magic spells and traps of all elements
Uses fan+charm
Cannot upgrade healing skills past level 120, so skills are weaker than strategist
Several talent boosts to spell damage which strategist does not get
Exclusive access to upgrades to offensive magic skills+ exclusive trap type magic
Will usually too low to use deathblows and deathblows will not upgrade past level 120
Considered to be a conjurer with better heals
Eats mana extremely fast, requiring spiritual springs for battle or long boss fights

Strategist
Focus on soldiers/healing and deathbows
Has higher will to take advantage of better healing and deathblows
Uses fan+charm
Has lots of soldier passive buffs and even powerful short duration soldier buffs
Exclusive access to healing tact healing skill upgrades + new unique healing skills
Eats mana extremely fast, requiring spiritual springs for battle or long boss fights
Tends to have a higher mana pool due to high will stat

Brief look at conj types

Currently a well known water mystic conj 7unz from forbidden city, at present there is no conj, either taoist or mystic on forbidden city who is a massive ap whore

In general a conjurer is a magic type character, who relies on the power of the 4 elements, such as fire, water, spirit and evil.
There are once again, two main types of conjurers

Mystics
Tends to use a fan with a charm
Very high int stat
Wants as much magic power as possible to deal devastating high damage elemental skills
Has only 2 healing skills, one requires a soldier to steal hp from, the other has a cooldown and requires 1 chi to use
Fastest type of conj to level with, without a martial spirit due to high powered int aoes such as flame pillar
With mystic class, gets stronger upgrades to magic aoes and single target magic
Has mostly long cast time but high damage spells




Taoists
Due to class requirement, must use a concealed weapon (dagger) to be able to use deathblow skills
Tends to use charm with the dagger, such as drunken god flask or red lotus lamp
Focus on using magic darts for auto attack
Focus on deathblows that require a dagger
Deathblows tends to be ranged dmg based
Darts although can be spirit/fire/water/evil have a high ranged dmg component in each one also
Stat focus can be int/dex/str combined
Has only 2 healing skills, one requires a soldier to steal hp from, the other has a cooldown and requires 1 chi to use
Harder to grind as after 120 wont get aoe magic skill upgrades and taoist is mostly a single target type of character due to reliance on darts and deathblows
At 160+ gets sealing skills, to seal magic/deathblows  for a duration etc
Has mostly instant cast spells or darts but weaker on average compared to a mystic
