Jade Dynasty Online is an MMO developed by the people who brought about the ever-popular Perfect World Online. Jade Dynasty is based on the popular internet novel 'Zhu Xian' and is the English version of one of China's most popular Free-To-Play games. Jade Dynasty features a unique martial arts game play style wrapped in a huge, evolving game world. Players first assume the role of a simple paladin as they begin their quest to uncover the secrets of immortality. Players delve into a system where their choices between good and evil begin to shape their game play experience as they obtain different skills, items and ultimately, a story that is unique to every player. Among the many great features, the classless character progression system allows players to focus on the skills they desire to create the ultimate warrior.
After choosing and creating your character, you are then thrown into the Jade Dynasty world. When entering your start point the game offers a helpful tutorial that introduces the basic movements and info pertaining to your character. The game also offers starting players a treasure box to first open with advance items for your character; the box is able to be opened once within every 5 levels. Your character also has spells available to them that enable you to relocate yourself to the nearest town/realm (1 hour cool down) which is helpful due to the huge world of the game. One unique feature the game contains is its autoroute feature; this feature allows the character to automatically walk to a designated quest giver, or certain monster you may need to kill instead of aimlessly wondering around trying to find them. The character leveling system is in the form of a skill tree that allows you to have one point with each level, the system automatically updates your players str, dex, etc… the only thing you can affect is the unique skill tree of your character.
Jade Dynasty has an oriental setting. Much of the game’s environments and monsters are borrowed from Chinese mythology, which help it stand out from the crowd of fantasy games. New players in Jade Dynasty do not select a class right away, instead they start the game as initiates and must wait until level 15 to chose between five factions. All five factions have a different set of skills and a unique play style.
Five factions in Jade Dynasty are:
Jadeon : The premier ranged damage dealer in Jade Dynasty. Jadeons have powerful AoE (area of effect) spells that make them effective levelers. High cast times and low defense make them vulnerable at close range.
Skysong : The only class that is capable of healing and buff other players. Skysongs have low defense and limited offensive capabilities early on but make powerful allies in late game PvE and PvP.
Vim : The primary tank class. Vims have high defense and deal powerful blows to single targets. They lack ranged attacks and become less effective during the later levels.
Lupin : The rogue faction of Jade Dynasty. Lupins deal heavy melee damage but suffer from low defense. Their high critical rate makes them dangerous assassins but they are less useful in group fights. Ideal class for beginners.
Modo : Modos are the main offensive spell casters. Their physical appearance and spell arsenal which includes curses, DoTs, and nukes mark them as formidable Warlocks. The Modo faction is the most difficult to play, especially since they are rather weak during the early levels.
Balo : The faction of brute strength. The Balo prefer axes and many of their skills focus on their physical power. They make excellent front line warriors and can stun, paralyze, silence, and weaken their enemies.
Arden : Elegant being that combine the best aspects of mankind and the animal kingdom. The Arden are masters of the bow and their affinity with nature allows them to summon beasts and plants for assistance.
