How to play, Chapter 16
Frequently asked questions
In short
These are the questions asked most often in Greyford, with short answers. If yours is not here, use the search box above or press ? in the game.
- How do I get my hit points back?
- At the healer, with H in the village or in the forest. She heals you completely, for gold. Overnight all your hit points come back by themselves. Some forest events and Fennick's songs heal you too. See The village.
- What happens when I die?
- You lose the gold in your pocket and 10 per cent of your experience, and you stay dead until the next day. You keep your weapon, armour, level and bank. See Gold, bank and death.
- Why can't I go into the forest any more?
- You have used up your 15 forest fights for today, or you are dead. It carries on at midnight UTC.
- Can I play on my phone?
- No, you play on a PC or a tablet with a keyboard. On your phone you can read the website, the hall and this guide. See Controls.
- When does a new day begin?
- At midnight UTC, for everyone at the same time. That is 2:00 in Germany.
- Do I lose anything if I don't play for a week?
- No. The bank keeps paying interest, and you come back rested with up to 30 per cent more experience. But you sleep out in the fields every night, so someone can take the gold in your pocket. Take it to the bank before you go.
- How many forest fights do I get a day?
- 15. Married heroes get 1 more, and the Stamina blessing and the watchtower add others.
- How do I avoid being raided at night?
- Rent a room at the inn. Nobody can raid a hero who sleeps there. The room lasts until the next change of day.
- Where is my gold safe?
- In Goldwin's bank. It earns 10 per cent interest every night there, and neither monsters nor thieves can get at it. Only a victory over the dragon and a divorce empty the bank.
- How do I go up a level?
- Gather experience in the forest until the village says you are ready for your master. Then beat your master on the training grounds (T). See Masters and levels.
- Can I die fighting my master?
- No. If you lose, you are left on one hit point. You get another attempt the next day, because a master fights you only once a day.
- Which class is the best?
- None of them. All three start with the same stats and reach the dragon equally well. The Sellsword is the easiest, the Runecaster lasts the longest, the Cutpurse hits the hardest. See The classes.
- What do I get for beating the dragon?
- Dragon gold, a dragon blessing, a place in the hall and a title. Then you start over at level one, with your blessings. See Skarvold.
- When can I go after the dragon?
- At level 12. Then the path up to the Ashen Horn (D) appears in the forest.
- What exactly is a forest fight?
- Every search in the forest or in the mines, whether you find a monster, an event or nothing at all. The climb to the dragon and hauling stones at the building site use one too.
- Can I rename my hero or change class?
- No. You choose name and class once, when you create your hero. Think both over carefully.
- How long am I protected as a new hero?
- 3 days, counting the day you were created. During that time you cannot raid anyone either. After a victory over the dragon you are protected once more.
- What happens to my gold on the Burning Night?
- The gold in your pocket burns, the bank stays. See A day in Greyford.
- Who are the heroes from Greyford?
- Villagers run by the game itself. They fight and level up like everyone else, but never attack anyone and do not read messages.
- What do I do if someone keeps pestering me with messages?
- Block them in your messages. After that they can neither write to you nor propose to you.
- Can I play together with friends?
- Yes, everyone plays in the same world. You can send each other messages, get married and donate together at the building site. A married hero is protected by their spouse sleeping at the inn.
- I forgot my password. What now?
- If you gave an email address for your account, you can request a new password on the login page. Without an email address, unfortunately, that is not possible.
- Does DRAKVOR cost anything?
- No. DRAKVOR is free and without ads, and nobody can buy an advantage.
- Can I delete my account?
- Yes, any time, yourself, under Account. Your hero then disappears from Greyford.
