When you sign up to Ancient Realm, you will have a character with some basic stats and attributes. The basic attributes are as follows:

== Attributes ==

===Level===
As you progress through the game and earn [[experience|#exp]] you'll level up. Your level determines who you can [[attack|battles]] and which [[prison|Prisons]] you can move to. Your current level is shown to the right of your avatar.

===HP===
HP, traditionally short for Health or Hit Points, is a representation of how much health you have, and how much you can possibly have.

Your HP goes down when you are hit in battle. You lose a battle when your HP hits 0. You can increase your max HP by leveling up.

===Energy (NRG)===
Performing certain actions (like battles) requires energy. You can think of it as your power to act. Without energy, you can not do many of the actions needed to move ahead in the game.  

Energy is usually displayed as ##/##. The number to the left of the backslash indicates how much energy you currently have, while the number to the right indicates the total amount of energy you can have. There are ways in the game to increase your max energy, such as [[Cell Amenities|Amenities]]  and leveling up.

'''Replenishing Energy''':
10% of your energy is replenished every 5 minutes (20% for [[Respected Prisoners|Respected]]). You may also replenish energy with various [[Items]].

===Nerve (NRV)===
Performing certain actions (like battles, mugging and some [[games|Flash Games]]) requires nerve.

Nerve is usually displayed as ##/##. The number to the left of the backslash indicates how much nerve you currently have, while the number to the right indicates the total amount of nerve you can have. There are ways in the game to increase your max nerve, such as [[Cell Amenities|Amenities]]  and leveling up.

'''Replenishing Nerve''':
10% of your nerve is replenished every 5 minutes (20% for [[Respected Prisoners|Respected]]). You may also replenish nerve with various [[Items]].

===Stamina (STM)===
Your [[#Stats|stats]] are limited by your stamina. You are at your best when your stamina is at 100%.

For example, if you have 1,000 [[#strength|strength]], but are only at 50% stamina, then you effectively only have 500 strength when it comes time to [[battle]] or do any other action. Keep your stamina in mind when you go to do actions!

You can raise your stamina by leveling up or by placing certain items in your [[cell]].

'''Replenishing Stamina''':
10% of your stamina is replenished every 5 minutes (20% for [[Respected Prisoners|Respected]]). You may also replenish stamina with various [[Items]].

===Experience Points (EXP)===
You must earn experience in order to level up. You earn experience by successfully doing [[crimes]], [[battling|battles]] and training at [[the gym|gym]]. Each time you level up, you will need more experience to reach the next level.

Your Experience is usually shown as a %, to see your actual experience and total you need, hover your mouse over the experience bar.

== Stats ==
===Agility=== 
Agility is one of the most important stats for battling and grinding. The more agility you have, the faster and more often you hit the opponent!

===Strength=== 
Strength is another important stats. The more strength you have, the more damage you will do to your opponent with each hit.

===Evasion=== 
Evasion is not the most important stat, because it doesn't work every time.. The more evasion you have, the bigger chance you will have to evade hits from an opponents (no HP lost at 1 hit)

===To gain stats===
*One of the fastest way to increase stats is by training at Crystal Creek> Legend Stone/Evasion training, but you can train there only until you cap your stats for your level, then must increase your level to be able to train more stats.

*Another good way to gain stats is buying potions at Crystal Creek > [[Crystal Creek#Potion Shop|Potion Shop]], you can buy 5 potions a day for 100,000 gold each.

*Also, You might try your luck praying for stats at [[Crystal Creek#Shadow Church|Shadow Church]] and if you are a donator, you might win extra stats by using your donator tokens in the donator token challenge.

*Another way to increase Strength and Agility is by using 50 nectar + 100,000 gold. This increases agility AND strength by 5 points each time. 

*The last way to increase stats is by using AP. 10 AP can increase a stat by 0.5 points.
