GoonZu Online/Gameplay

After installing GoonZu Online or Luminary, you'll first have to choose a server and then create a character on that server. If you have any friends playing, make sure you choose the same server!

Servers
Each server is a separate world of GoonZu. Everything you do and create on one server will not be able to be viewed, manipulated, or interacted with whatsoever on another server.


 * The servers for Global GoonZu are:
 * 1) Zeus


 * The servers for Ijji are:
 * 1) Hera
 * 2) Athena

Characters
When you begin, you get to choose from four character avatars; there is no difference between any of them aside from how they look. Choose a gender, and then the look you like best (eastern or western). There are no preset classes or restrictions, you will define your character by selecting leveling up skills.

Skills
Skills govern your ability to perform various actions. Skill levels come in two forms: basic skill level, and experience skill level. They, like your character level, level up. The difference though is that together both skills add up to a total amount of 100 possible skill levels, a maximum of 30 from basic skills, and a maximum of 70 from experience skills. Since all of your skills start at zero, you usually have to read a skill book to gain that initial skill level (manufacturing skills always let you create the most basic item without a skill level). Most skills, however, require five skill points before any real use can come out of them (such as manufacturing skills).

Combat
Combat occurs when either you attack a monster or player, or an aggressive monster or player attacks you.

When you attack something (use ), you will strike first and then the monster will counter. Combat is automatic, and both parties involved will continue to fight until one or the other is dead; however you can choose to run away at any time. Remember, you can heal with items!
 * Fighting Monsters:

You'll see little messages and numbers pop up above you and the monster: bue numbers and messages are regarding your strikes, while red ones are the monster's. While fighting, either your hit will connect or it will miss; when you or the monster you're fighting misses a large "MISS" in the appropriate color will appear.

Aggressive monsters (all bosses except Doma Pig) will attack you if you're too close to them so watch out! If you get attacked, you will not counter unless you order your character to do so - know however that aggressive monsters tend to be very powerful.


 * Player Versus Player (PVP):

Experience
Experience comes in two types: your character's overall experience that determines your level, and your individual skill experience.

Overall experience is gained by killing monsters, completing quests, and manufacturing items.

Skill experience is gained when you use something governed by the skill. For weapon and farming skills, the skill experience increases as you fight with that weapon or harvest crops. For manufacturing skills, experience is gained solely by manufacturing items. A failed item will not give any experience.
