Heroes/Handy Hero Tables

Heroes
Heroes are people you can recruit in game to help you with quests. Please note: Heroes are not army members or units.

All heroes need to be "recruited". Most heroes can be recruited from the "Heroes" tab below the Castle Age banner. The heroes here cost in game gold to recruit, and may or may not require an upkeep. As you level up and unlock new areas, you will find more heroes to recruit on this page. All generals needed to gain influence on quests can be bought here.

You can also get heroes by using favor points and pulling them out of the treasure chest, or by buying one directly if it is the Oracle's hero of the month. All the generals gathered this way are never used for quests, but are useful for the PvP (redirect to Battle page) aspects to the game.

Active General
While you may recruit many heroes, only one may be your "Active General" at a time. To switch Active Generals, Click "Heroes" (Under the Castle Age Banner) and then "Generals" and click on the hero that you want to be your new Active General. Your Active General determines whether or not you will gain influence while doing quests. It also helps determine your battle power in duels.

Aeris' Special Ability

 * Her special ability (initially) decreases the bank fee by 10%. The banking fee is 10%.  Her bonus does NOT remove the banking fee.
 * If you try to stash away 1000 gold, normally, the bank would take 100 gold as the fee, and you deposit 900 gold
 * With her initial ability, if you stash 1000 gold, the bank will take only 91 gold, and you deposit 909 gold.

4/12/09 - Several Generals leveling bugged

 * As of the first day of the Hero abilities being added in, it appears that Malekus can only gain levels from Questing. Battles, Duels and Dragon/Boss attacks have no effect on his level. Clearly this is bugged. There have also been reports of some generals losing stats/bonuses upon leveling.
