Combat is the act of attacking other players or monsters. When sucessfully attacking a player/monster they lose health points. Many skills can increase combat damage.
Physical combat[]
Using weapons (or your fists) you can deal damage. This is the most basic form of combat. In Physical combat you choose a weapon, select a monster/player and press the attack button to attempt to damage them. An attack's chance to hit is is shown as a number and a % to show how likely it is to hit someone. Also the weapon's power shows how much damage an attack will do on a sucessful hit. Attacking a player or monster with physical combat uses one battle point.
Magic combat[]
Magic combat uses MP instead of BP. Also the spells used for magic combat are learned by purchasing a book from a store (usually a magic one) and using XP to learn the spell. The spell is stored in a spell book and can be used. Magic conductors make spell casting cost less MP.
