A Guide for Low Level Players to PWN Higher Leveled Players and Mobs

Hey there friend! You just picked up Divine Mortality for the first time? That’s great!

What? You want to have a smooth ride? Fight low level mobs and then quietly progress in the game?

What are you? An idiot? Stupid? Dumb*ss?

Sure, go ahead and do that if you want to be a scrub. Nobody expects much from noobs anyways.

But let me tell you one thing, friend. One thing I despise in my games. I hate losers who have low goals and defeatist perspectives. Sure, your little sister is a tailor who makes neat dresses or collects pets in the game while not looking for any action-combat. That’s perfectly fine. She at least has her own quirky goals and interests. Maybe she isn’t in a trade guild and is instead probably just in a tight-knit group with her school friends.

Right now, you’re probably telling me “So what? What are you on about? I also have goals. I want to get high level gear, raid dungeons, loot a lot of coins”.

But I am here to tell you, NO. Don’t do those things. Don’t be a dumb*ss, a stupid, or an idiotic person.

“wah-wah, how am I those things for just wanting to play the game normally?”

Normally is the PROBLEM!

Normally is what is not what this game thrives on nor will the community!

I don’t care if your little sister contributes to the economy or not. I care that she’s gaining a unique experience. YOU will not be gaining a unique experience by staying in your little cozy bubble of a standard fantasy adventure.

Am I a jerk? Maybe. Actually, YES I AM!

But guess what, even jerks are humans. More importantly, even jerks are RIGHT! (sometimes)

“What do you want me to do then? Run around crazy in the game, playing it in a ridiculous way?”

Sure, why not.

Oh, you want a proper ExPlaNaTioN???

Alright, fine, this suspense and useless build up is over!

Listen up friend, I simply want you to play this game in a not-so-normal way. What do I mean? I mean that, try everything out. Do not be afraid of breaking immersion, because the game will back it up automatically. Do not be afraid of trying out different weapons and magic, you’ll suck at using them for the first 50 hours of gameplay anyways so don’t bother thinking you’ve spoiled yourself.

This jerk (me) is probably wrong in telling YOU not to play the game normally, moralists will say “play it how you’d like it”. Sure, do that and continue being a scrub for the first year.

Or…

Listen to me, do not play Divine Mortality exactly how you like it. Use your brainpower instead of being a wasteful outlet and read everything I will mention down below. All of these will be basic tips that are actually not so basic for all of YOU noobs getting into this game. Oh right, I am also a noob, but I haven’t been sleeping all week, so I’ve learned this whole game probably 6-12 months ahead of half the readers of this post.

Whenever you get the chance, grab a sword or whatever, and stab a higher-level player or mob. You’ll notice, unless you are very crap at games, that you SURPRISE-SURPRISE…dealt a lot of damage!

“Oh my god, how did I do that? Aren’t I amazing? Are SwoRdS aCtUaLLy OP???”

No they aren’t you idiot. Just because you are level 1 doesn’t mean stabbing CatBoy360 several times won’t be able to kill them. Why? Because Divine Mortality isn’t a purely level based game. Levels matter for your characters enrichment, not directly for their combat output.

If you haven’t created your character yet, good job. This guide will serve you as a warning. If you have, I hope you didn’t screw up creating your character or else you might notice that game isn’t so fair to you. Basically, when you create your character, please for the love of divinity, expect realistic repercussions or bonuses for whatever creature you form.

“That’s stupid, if I want to have a super tough skinny Elf warrior, then I should have it. Appearance shouldn’t affect my stats!”

Boo-hoo play another game! If you really want your skinny elf-boy to tank a lot of damage without falling down constantly, then get good at the game. Otherwise, it ain’t fair to the NPCs of this game or the NPCs of other games that YOU get to be outlandish in their world while they are stuck to their depressive mortal confines. Imagine those giant bosses that get beat up by literal midgets! It can happen, for sure. But i'd rather bet on a centaur outrunning a fat old dwarf, versus vice versa. Also, if you made an inappropriately ugly or beautiful character because you are a damn hedonist… then you are lucky that I didn’t design this game further to punish the likes of you. Anyways, understand basic concepts such as tall people are tall and short people are short. Short people have an easier time in shorter spaces, taller people do not. ETC.

Divine Mortality has a lot of group types. They are created, operated, and destroyed by 3 factors. Not all 3 factors apply to all the group types. Anybody can create a simple ‘group’, nobody can destroy it besides you and operating it is self-explanatory. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is a group type called ‘government’ (ding-ding it is an actual government, with multiple forms). It's a advanced feature in the game that is not too complicated to understand, unless you're a child. The ‘government’ groups need to be created through a criteria unlike simple groups, they are also operated semi-automatically (NPCs and players), and they can only be destroyed if most of the group wills it or an enemy does.

“Why does a new player like me need to know this?”

Good question, why does a noob scrub like you need to know this? For many reasons! It’s not a simple question I can answer dammit! Well, first you should know that if you want to team up with other noob scrubs like yourself, you can! But you should also know that this game, like I said, has a lot of group types. You might do your boring quests, collect materials and think “oh I should sell this to an NPC vendor” …you could do that but that’ll be lame if that’s all you do. You could sell (or gift) those materials to a whole group, or to another group whether it is your sisters little friend group or a trade organization (or guild) that will likely offer you the best prices. But that all depends on your own intuition, just don’t be a dumb*ss (unless you like to be one) and try to make the best choices on your accord. And no, that doesn’t include the choice of not listening to me enlighten you in the ways of Divine Mortality. Also, another reason in mentioning these groups…is simply because they are awesome. I actually want you, yes you noobs, form a crappy country so that I could loot or conquer it. It ‘ll help progress political history in our servers, understand?

“wah wah waaah, your title isn’t living up to my expectations!”

Oh, you mean this? “A Guide for Low Level Players to PWN Higher Leveled Players and Mobs”

You actually decided that you’re a level above a lame idiot? Great, welcome to the club of awesome idiots like myself! If you made it this far or managed to successfully skip all the fluff at the beginning, congratulations.

So, let me tell you the BEST advice there is. TOP advice that all pro players do.

Play the game Get good

Yeah that’s it. What did you expect? The game has only been out for around a week.

How about this, use this guide as a mental exercise for your decadent mind and think about all the things I mentioned to you philosophically…

What I mean is, think about what it means to “get good” in the game. Does it mean being the best hero-adventurer in the land? Does it mean becoming your very own dictator in a fantasy world? Or does it mean making the best memories with your friends because you are the little sister who actually isn’t a tryhard (like their brother) and is having fun in a game?

And “Play the game”, simple as that. Play the freaking game!

No jokes this time. I mean it seriously.

Play the damn game! Get your friends to play the game. Invite your school to play the game. Hire people to play the game!

I don’t want the servers to close anytime soon since Divine Mortality is legitimately awesome. I’ll even say that this article was a sponsored advertisement for the game, even if it ISN’T. I’m just a jerk*ss idiot on the internet who wants to promote a game where carving out your own unique path is actually rewarding.

I’ll even lick the shoes of each of the developers who made this game. Not joking. I’ll do it. I WOULD.

Thanks for reading this guide, friend.

If you see me in game, feel free slap me!
