Choose your character
Killing monsters grants XP; leveling up grants stat points to spend. Strength raises damage, Dexterity raises your chance to hit and to dodge, Vitality raises max HP, and Energy raises your max energy pool and improves potion healing. Walk onto the stairs tile to change dungeon depth — the deeper you go, the tougher and more rewarding the enemies, and the more the level tint shifts toward blood red. Away from the village — in the dungeon, or out in the wilderness/areas on the surface — press T to open a portal straight back to the village, and walk into it again to return to the exact spot you cast it from. In the village, visit the thief to buy potions with your gold.
