Lonath Online

Lonath Online is a top-down, 3D MMORPG set in a fantasy world, where you grow your character, build a home, make friends, fight monsters and other players, and try to become a legendary warrior. Its story follows Nrutas, an orphan who discovers his power and uses an artifact to travel to the Medieval Era, in the Kingdom of Atheos. Long ago, the magician Daeron created a weapon to rule the world, but Sathenu defeated him, broke the weapon into relics and scattered them through time. Sathenu founded the Guardians of Time to protect the relics and created two artifacts for travel through time in case the world faced another crisis; Nrutas uses one to reach the first relic, while the second is left to you.

Create and develop a hero

You create a hero from three classes, each emphasizing a different ability:

• Warrior: has Strength as the highest ability.
• Mage: has Magic as the highest ability.
• Defender: has Defense as the highest ability.

You fight monsters and players to gain XP and increase your levels. Melee attacks require you to be close to your target; attacks miss if you are too far away. Each melee hit starts a cooldown of a few seconds, with the wait depending on your weapon.

Spells and transformations

Magic spells can be used against monsters and other players, and require Mana. You can restore Mana with Mana Potions or by standing near Mana Replenish Stones. Spells can be assigned from the Spellbook to the Spellbar, then cast from the bar or with the number keys 0–9; some spells can only be cast with hotkeys. Most spells target your active target, but Teleport, Wall of Fire, Wall of Stone, Starfall Storm and Hell Storm must be aimed with the cursor.

Polymorph scrolls let you transform into a monster for a few minutes, gaining that monster's abilities and strength. You can find the scrolls as monster drops or in shops. You can also tame animals with a spell and command a successfully tamed animal to attack, follow, stay or be released.

Homes and travel

You can build one house per map using a house deed, which is available from scribe shops in villages. Houses serve as alternative resurrection places after you die, both for you and for up to five friends you add to the house. You cannot place one too close to a village, or where it touches an obstacle or monster spawn.

There are three house types:

• Empty Wooden House: provides an alternative resurrection point for you and your house friends.
• Expert's House: includes an indoor scribe vendor where you can sell items and buy potions.
• Master's House: includes a scribe vendor and Replenish Stones that restore health and Mana.

You can ride horses and other available rideables without a special ability. Riding shops in villages sell seven different horses, including a Unicorn, as well as a velociraptor.

Trading and treasure

You can trade with other players, offering up to two items and gold coins in each trade session. Treasure maps, which can drop from monsters, lead to treasures containing normal, rare, unique or legendary items. Follow the map to the indicated village, then use its position and the minimap's coordinates to find the location. Right-click the map there to claim the treasure, though there is a small chance you will find nothing.

Combat and shops

PvP takes place outside safe zones, where players of different classes can fight. Killing another player grants XP, as does killing a monster. Vendors in villages sell items for your character, including weapons, shields, dresses, armor, robes, rideables, jewels and other goods.

When you point the cursor at a player or monster, it becomes your active target and a box at the top of the screen displays its name and health. Melee attacks and most spells are directed at that target.
