Gameplay

edit

Every player starts in the Angel Lyceum, a college to train Little Angels (the players) to become Angel Protectors to guard Eden against Lucifer (requirement). Once the player finishes the tutorial, they are teleported to the campus of the Lyceum where they can accumulate student credits on campus by doing lessons (composed of either defeating a certain number of a monster or collecting/manufacturing a certain amount of an item). The student credit's primary purpose is to determine whether a student can now graduate or attend the Top Student Training. When a player graduates they become an Angel Protector and choose a faction and city.

Job System

edit

There are 14 classes available in Angels Online. Each has six different skills with skills maxing out at level 380. All the classes are divided into one of the following systems - Fighting, Magic or Production. Players can also change their skills by talking to the Skill Angel (there are certain exceptions). Due to this, everyone's character can be truly unique. The only thing to take into account before changing a skill is how the two skills match.

The game has a unique double class and skill system. Players are able to change or match skills after having chosen a class, which helps make characters distinctive. Different classes are able to have the same skills. For example, a character from the fighting class is able to have the magic skill. However, some special skills cannot be matched with each other, such as the chaos and the earth skills.

A skill may be leveled up by using it, but can never be higher than the character's level, which maxes out at level 380.[citation needed] Players can change skills after reaching level 20, but need a special item called a skill crystal to do so.[2]
