Mode Selections

Taken straight from the Shaiya Website, but alot of people ask about it so I thought I’d copy and paste it over.

Easy Mode - Think of Easy mode as a tutorial. Leveling is fast as little XP (experience points) is needed to progress. However, Easy mode is capped at level 30, you cannot join nor create a guild in Easy mode, and the Special Skills in classes are not available. You are also unable to use items labeled Dread, Legend, or Goddess. You gain 5 Stat points (to increase your basic character attributes) and 3 Skill Points (to gain new skills or increase current skills) per level while in Easy mode. You are also unable to use armor or weapons labeled Dread, Legend, or Goddess.

Normal Mode - Normal mode is where most players will begin. You need more experience to gain levels than in Easy, but the level cap is now 60. You are able to use all items usable in Easy mode, plus you are able to use Dread items. You gain the same Stat and skill points as in Easy mode; 5 Stat and 3 Skill per level. At level 50 you are allowed to now create Hard Mode characters.

Hard Mode - You will need more experience than you did in Normal to gain levels, but the rewards are also greater. The level cap is 60, and at 60 you are allowed to create Ultimate Mode characters. You can use all the items you could in Normal, but now you can also use Legend items. You gain 7 Stat points and 4 Skill points per level.

Ultimate Mode - The pinnacle of power is Ultimate Mode. Gaining levels takes skill and patience. The level cap is 60. Your increased stat and skill points here will make your character the most powerful possible: 9 Stat points and 5 Skill points per level. You can use all items in the game, including the devastating Goddess weapons. However, this power comes at a cost: if your character dies, you have only 3 minutes to be resurrected… or your character is deleted and you must start all over.
