Classbound Arsenal

Quickstart

1. On your first entry, choose one of five classes. Your choice is permanent for that character.
2. Check your starter gear, then use the Classbound Ledger to open the menu. Choose Forge Weapons to spend class XP on gear or Class Skill Tree to unlock skills.
3. Defeat mobs to earn 5 class XP per kill. Your on-screen display shows your class, XP, and unlocked skills.
4. Try your class’s main ability:
   • Melee Vanguard: fight with your Stone Sword.
   • Ranged Ranger: shoot with your bow and arrows; forged class weapons also have a special aimed attack when used while targeting a mob.
   • Mage: use the Laser Staff while aiming at a mob to cast its spell.
   • Summoner: use the Lizard Caller to summon a lizard companion. Use it again to dismiss your nearby companion.
   • Healer: strike enemies with the Bloodsucker to restore your own health. Aim a Healing Draught at another player within 8 blocks and use it to heal them.

Overview

Classbound Arsenal is a class-based combat and progression mod. Your class determines your starting equipment, available weapon forge, and five-node skill tree. Weapons and skills use class XP, earned by defeating mobs. Your summoned lizard can also earn XP for you by defeating mobs.

What It Adds

Each class has 25 class weapons organized into five tiers, plus its own skill tree.

Class weapon tiers

Higher tiers require more skill nodes. The Forge Weapons menu shows the XP cost and requirements for each weapon.

How To Use

• Open the ledger: Use the Classbound Ledger in your inventory to access the forge and skill tree. It is provided when you choose a class.
• Melee: Equip a melee class weapon and attack normally. Weapon effects and unlocked melee skills can support your attacks and defenses.
• Ranged: Use a bow normally to fire arrows. Using a forged class ranged weapon while aiming at a mob triggers its aimed attack; aim at a visible target.
• Mage: Use a mage weapon while aiming at a mob to cast its associated spell. Some spells affect an area; some support or heal you or nearby players.
• Summoner: Use a summoning weapon to call your lizard companion. The weapon determines the lizard’s form and traits. Use the weapon again to dismiss your nearby companion.
• Healer: Hit enemies with a healer weapon to siphon health back to yourself. To heal a teammate, aim at them with a Healing Draught and use it; the draught is consumed.

Crafting And Obtaining

Use the Classbound Ledger’s Forge Weapons option to obtain class weapons. The forge spends class XP rather than requiring a crafting-table recipe. Tier 0 weapons cost 5 XP each; tiers 1 through 4 cost 12, 19, 26, and 33 XP. A weapon’s tier also requires at least that many unlocked skill nodes.

Your starter weapon and class supplies are given when you choose your class. The ranged starter is a regular bow with arrows; its class-specific aimed attack is available on forged ranged weapons.

Abilities And Mechanics

Each skill tree has five skills unlocked in order. Skills are permanent for that character and also open the next weapon tier.

Skill costs, in order, are 12, 20, 28, 36, and 44 XP. Class weapons and skills can improve combat damage, survivability, attack range or cooldowns, companion strength, and ally healing.

Progression And Strategy

Defeat mobs to build class XP, then spend it between forging weapons and unlocking skills. Unlocking the first skill opens tier 1 weapons; each additional node opens the next tier. The ledger’s menus show your current XP and requirements, so you can plan whether to invest in a skill or save for another weapon.
