This guide is for beginers,which I take from the other Hero Guide. You just pick one of the basic 5 classes and just go.

1)Sword Male (Sword and Bow),
2)Sword Female (Sword and Throwing Weapon),
3)Rod Male (Rod and Axe),
4)Rod Female (Rod and Fists), and
5)Muse Female (Dual Weapon and Instrument).

Each weapon has a different set of skills that go along with it but they mostly feature the same abilities. Character names cannot be reused and since the game has been out for a while, chances are you will not be able to get the name you want and you won't be able to get away without having numbers in your name. You also get to choose 1 of 2 factions. Your faction will determine your side when in war and who you can form a guild with. They can also be hostile to each other in certain areas.

In hero online gold,there are only 3 stats. The higher level you get, the more stat points you get. At level 1-10 you only get 4 per level but at 11-20 you get 5 per level and you add 1 to it every 10 levels. They are strength, intelligence, and dexterity. Strength is for damage and HP. Intelligence is for MP, skill damage, and skill defense. Dexterity is for defense. The problem with the game is that a full strength build will trump any of the other ones in most situations. The ability to spam potions with no cooldown time allows for this. Healing skills have a delay unlike potions so strength is more important than anything else.Despite the increase in general stats, your overall stat requirements are still severely restricted if you wish to use multiple weapons. If you use more than 1 weapon, you only have about 1 level's worth of stats to make a mistake on at any given time. Going over that will result in the inability to use both weapons of your level. Its best to focus on 1 weapon anyways.

There are 3 types which each character's weapons can further be divided into. The first weapon of each character type can be divided into 2 types. An example is a saber and a blade for sword types. A saber requires strength as a stat requirement and the blade requires dexterity as a stat requirement. The secondary weapon always has a dexterity requirement in order to equip. Each weapon type also has a set of skill books. Skill books come in several varieties based on level. The first is one for level 10, then another for level 25, 40, 60 and 100. I might have forgotten 1 or 2 but the ones above 60 are rare drops only as far as I am aware.
