Classes
Knight. A sturdy melee fighter who builds Valor by hitting things. Great for new players. Starcaster. A ranged caster with big burst damage and a Blink to escape. Bloomkeeper. A healer who roots and poisons foes and can outlast almost anything. Shadowpaw. A sneaky melee striker. Prowl past enemies unseen, open with Ambush and spend combo points on big finishers.
You unlock a new ability at levels 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 16. You earn a talent point every level after the first, and a second row of talents opens at level 10.
Boss tips
- Step out of glowing circles and cones before they fill up.
- When a ring ripples across the floor, press Space to jump over it.
- Kill the adds that spawn mid-fight. They hit harder than they look.
- Carry a stack of Healing Tonics. Alchemists can brew better ones.
Pets
Pets are tiny humans who follow you and fight beside you. Befriend wild ones with a Sprinkle Cookie, earn them from quests, or hire them from Tamer Pipsqueak. Each pet has a role and a special ability, and they level up alongside you.
Tosses you a snack that heals when you are hurt.
Whacks the target with a walking stick. Befriend him in Dustbunny Meadow.
Taunts enemies so they attack him instead of you.
Fires a volley that hits up to three enemies.
Serves soup that restores your mana or Valor.
Pirouettes through every enemy nearby. Earned in the arena.
Pelts foes with snowballs. Befriend him in the tundra.
Hurls fizzing fireballs. A reward from Rimewing's Aerie.
Bonks enemies with a coconut to stun them.
Blasts groups with a pocket cannon.
Hoses you down to heal and wash off harmful effects.
Fires a huge moon laser. Somewhere far to the west.
A secret companion for those who finish the story.
Festivals
Press V for the Festival calendar. Festivals run on their real dates: Hollowpaw's Eve (Halloween), Harvest Hearth (Thanksgiving), Frostwhisker Fest (Christmas), Starfall Eve (New Year's), Heartwhisker Day (Valentine's Day), Lucky Clover Days (St. Patrick's Day), Springbloom (Easter) and Sunfire Solstice (Midsummer and the Fourth of July). The Moonwhisker Faire visits for the first week of every month.
Each festival has a host at its festival grounds near Hearthwhisker, daily tasks that reset at midnight, mini-games and its own currency. Spend it on gear that scales to your level, glorp accessories, toys, treats and a festival glorpidorp. Currency never expires, so you can save it for next year.
Glorpidorps
At level 4, Stablemaster Hoofsie east of Hearthwhisker gives you a Meadow Glorp. Press G to ride it. Each kind has an ability on R and a special talent: Puddle Glorps swim through ocean currents, Puff Glorps jump extremely high, Frost Glorps walk on freezing water, Ember Glorps ignore lava, Sky Glorps fly and Moon Glorps glide and open moonlit locks.
Keep your glorps fed, watered, groomed and happy at the stables, where all your glorps live together in the paddock. A hungry or grumpy glorp runs slower until you care for it. Glorp armor makes it harder for enemies to knock you off.
At the Glorpidorp Academy you can race in the Bronze Heat, Silver Stakes and Gold Cup for ribbons, which buy armor and even a Sky Glorp. Eleven hidden chests around the Vale can only be reached by the right glorp.
Professions
Learn any of seven professions. Gardening grows crops in real time, even while you're away. Fishing works in ponds, the sea and, with the right rod, lava. Blacksmithing smelts bars, forges gear and glorp armor, and hones gear up to +5. Gear wears down in battle, so repair it at smiths around the Vale. Every merchant sells something different.
Herbalism and Mining gather reagents from meadow to volcano. Alchemy brews tonics, draughts and elixirs. Jewelcrafting cuts crystals into charms and circlets. Skills go up to 100.
Housing
Ten houses are for sale across the Vale, from Rosepetal Cottage in the village to the Obsidian Villa on the slopes of Emberpeak. Buy a Property License from the realtor, save up, then upgrade each home five times, from flower boxes to a starglass observatory. Upgrades also need gathered materials. Set a house to Rent and it earns gold while you are away, for up to eight hours at a time. Set it to Home and you can hearth there.
Myolets and dungeons
A myolet is a group of up to five Myo Myos. Invite anyone online from the Players window or type /invite Name. Myolet members share kill credit for quests, see each other's health, and can jump into each other's realm. Guildmistress Tally in Hearthwhisker hands out group quests and bounties for tough elites.
Six dungeons hide under the Vale: Burrowdeep Warren (5 to 8), Mothlight Hollow (7 to 10), Frostfang Grotto (11 to 13), the Sunken Tidevault (13 to 15, the door is on the sea floor), Cinderforge Depths (16 to 18) and the Unbound Stacks (19 to 20). Enter with your myolet and enemies get tougher, but every hit anyone lands counts for everyone. Each boss drops unique gear and sometimes a rare glorp accessory.
Weather, storms and diving
The weather changes every few minutes and everyone online sees the same sky. Rain waters your garden for you. Thunderstorms and tornados can summon a storm boss nearby. Tornados will toss you if you get too close. Swim out to sea and hold X to dive for pearls and sunken chests. You have about 25 seconds of breath, unless you ride a Puddle Glorp.
Breeding and glorp style
Two grown glorpidorps can make an egg at the stables. It hatches in 10 minutes and the baby grows up in 30. Babies mix their parents' colors and stats, take their body and ability from one parent and can inherit traits like deep-sea breath or sparkly fur. Hoofsie sells accessory packs with hats, tail bows and embroidery patterns for their blankets.
The auction house
Bidsworth Pennywhisk in Hearthwhisker runs the auction house. Post anything from your bags, set a price, and it sells to players everywhere for two days. Earnings arrive in your mailbox.
Playing online
On worldofmyo.com you're online automatically in a shared world with other players. Press Enter to chat, use emotes like /wave and /dance, and open the Players window to see who's around or to join a private room code with friends. You can go offline any time.
The Starfall Coliseum
Duel computer-controlled rivals in a floating arena. Wins raise your rating and earn Arena Marks, which buy rare rewards like Bea the Prima Ballerina.
