Priston Tale - Gameplay

Gameplay

Gameplay mostly consists of levelling up, though there are several activities players can participate in that are essential to the game. Some of these activities are:

• Trading: Buying and selling items. Players usually find this necessary in order to gain money and equipment otherwise unobtainable from NPC merchants.
• Clans: Players can join clans, in which teamwork prevails. They are the core of the social community of the game. Clans can also participate in special events created for clans only. Clans can be made once a player reaches level 40 or higher.
• Bellatra: formerly known as Survive or Die, a competition in which four teams with members of the same clan are forced to fight monsters until two teams are declared finalists. These two teams will continue fighting monsters until the last one survives. The winning team is chosen by whichever one has the higher amount of points. Teams receive points by killing monsters and monster bosses. The Boss monsters give higher amounts of points. The winning team's Clan Chief acquires rights over the Bellatra by gaining the ability to modify the monsters when the Chief fights next, by receiving an income from Bellatra, etc.
• Bless Castle: Bless Castle is a Player vs. Player activity in which one clan holds and defends the castle from all other participating clans, which can use siege equipment.

The other aspects of game play are "training", "climbing", hunting, player vs. player fights and socializing.

• Training: A player levels by killing large amounts of monsters at one given time, or many individual monsters quickly. Players may be in "party's" of 2–6 and level together.
• Climbing : One will attempts to move their character in a way that causes s/he to be on top of structures inside the game.
• Hunting: One faces as few as one monster but usually no more than three, to look for certain items in the game.
• Player vs. Player: One goes to a specified area to compete against other players, sometimes only one and sometimes as many as twenty.
• Socializing: Self-explanatory, used in PristonTale to obtain items, friends and anything else considered of value in the game.
