Jade Dynasty News & Events & Guides
Jade Dynasty is the third MMORPG to be published by Perfect World International. Like their previous titles, Jade Dynasty Gold has an oriental setting. Much of the game’s environments and monsters are borrowed from Chinese mythology, which help it stand out from the crowd of fantasy games. New players in Jade Dynasty do not select a class right away, instead they start the game as initiates and must wait until level 15 to chose between five factions. All five factions have a different set of skills and a unique play style. The five factions (classes) in Jade Dynasty Gold are:
Jadeon - The premier ranged damage dealer in Jade Dynasty Gold. Jadeons have powerful AoE (area of effect) spells that make them effective levelers. High cast times and low defense make them vulerable at close range.
Skysong - The only class that is capable of healing and buff other players. Skysongs have low defense and limited offensive capabilities early on but make powerful allies in late game PvE and PvP.
Vim - The primary tank class. Vims have high defense and deal powerful blows to single targets. They lack ranged attacks and become less effective during the later levels.
Lupin - The rogue faction of Jade Dynasty Gold. Lupins deal heavy melee damage but suffer from low defense. Their high critical rate makes them dangerous assassins but they are less useful in group fights. Ideal class for beginners.
Modo - Modos are the main offensive spell casters. Their physical appearance and spell arsenal which includes curses, DoTs, and nukes mark them as formitable Warlocks. The Modo faction is the most difficult to play, especially since they are rather weak during the early levels.
