Gameplay

Florensia is based on a seafaring world with a maritime theme. The world is divided between three major islands, Cardiff, where the game initially starts, Magnel and Exeter, as well as smaller isles home to quests, dungeons and shops. You are encouraged to build your own ship which you can then use to sail the seas and visit other islands. The game play is split into traditional MMORPG dungeon, hunting and quest elements which take place on land and sea. Land battles are standard to the genre, with auto attack, skills and the ability to form groups. Sea battles take place at sea, and also use auto attacks and skills, but with cannons, and other ship based weapons such as harpoons, etc. There are two separate leveling and experience systems for land and sea combat, and thus your Land and Sea levels are separate, along with your skill trees.

Players can create their own guilds (You will need three players at level 10 Land and Sea, as well as 10,000 Gelt to do so) and also take part in one on one PvP, as well as party versus party PvP modes. Later on, a Guild versus Guild system will also be implemented. As of yet, there is no detailed crafting system, but players can combine items to upgrade their weapons and armour, and can also take part in fishing for items by purchasing a Fishing skill book. The development team have also mentioned that a 'pet' system will also be implemented within the future.

Classes

In Florensia, you can choose from four basic classes. All four classes have different sub-classes for extra specialization. Reach level 40 and change your class!

Ships

At the start of Florensia you are given your first ship, but you are free to create your own. You can create a new ship by buying a frame and sail, and then adding on extras such as an anchor, cannons and other devices. There are five types of ships that you can create in Florensia, each with their own strengths:

Travel by Sea
Travel by Sea

Armored Ship

The armoured ship has the most HP and defense of all the ships and is basically a seafaring tank, making it useful for beginners. It isn't as fast as other ships as a result, but comes equipped with special harpoons that can be shot out from the sides.

Big Gun Ship

The big gun ship has higher shooting power but is very slow to steer and handle, making it quite sluggish. It also has lower HP than the armoured ship. It comes equipped with the big gun cannot, capable of tremendous damage with a short cooldown period.

Torpedo Ship

The torpedo ship is the fastest of all the ships and quick to steer, although with much lower defense and HP than other ships. It has above average attack and comes equipped with torpedos which can be shot out in front of it for a pre-emptive strike.

Maintenance Ship

The maintenance ship is more unique than the other ships and is used more as a support ship. It has good defense and HP, but is slow to steer. It comes equipped with mines, which can be deployed behind the ship and explode when enemy ships get close.

Assault Ship

The assault ship is well rounded with average attack, defense and HP. It comes equipped with a special harpoon cannon which can be fired in front of a ship.

Skills and Stats

Skills in Florensia have to be bought before they can be learnt. When you level up your Land level, you gain three points which you can use to spend on your stats to improve them. When you level up your Sea level, you gain an extra point which can be spent on your stats. Both Land and Sea have their own skill trees. Each level by Land or Sea gives you a point that can be spent on new skills for either your character or ship, or can be spent on upgrading your skills to make them more effective. The stats that you can add, and what they do, are explained below:

Strength

Highly influences the character's physical attack.

Constitution
