The following list is not ment to be complete or 100% right, if you have ideas for additional questions and answers feel free to contact me. The F.A.Q. Is for helping new players to find their way through GTH and to guarantee a Spam-free forum (hopefully...). The following Questions&Answers will deal with:


1.)First steps in-game
Q: I have installed the game and run it. Now I have to create a character. Which one should I take?
A: First off, there is no „best“ class, and no general recommandation which class to take. It depends on the way you want to play, as there are big differences between the classes. This is a roughly segmentation:

Soul type (KoC or KoW):
Fights with 1-handed or 2-handed swords, in order to make a lot of damage pretty fast.
After awakening (see point 3) the one-handed knight (Knight of Commitent or short KoC) has a fast attack with good damage, lower HP but better armor then

The two-handed Knight (Knight of Wandering or short KoW). He is for people who want to tank a bit not wanting to miss out high damage. He has pretty good HP and massive damage, sadly with worse armor then the KoC. Especially for people who more like to level alone, this class is my recommandation.

Wind type (WMA or WeMA)
Fights with a dagger or a crossbow, either making lower damage in an extreme fast way or good long-range damage.
After awakening (see point 3) the Dagger-type archer (Wandering mystic archer or short WMA) has the highest attack speed of all classes, sadly with lower damage. In case of being buffed this char can become one of the mightiest of all.

If you more feel like a hunter, the Crossbow-type archer (Wisdom-eyed mystic archer or short WeMA) should be better for you. That fella makes good damage from a large distance, later it is a common hit-and-run class. Speed Potions and Skill cooldown reducers make this class almost invincible in PvP.

Earth Type (Tss or Dss)
Fights with either a fast and strong claw or with a massive, destructive hammer, making mid-damage in a fast way or huge damage in an extreme slow way.
After awakening (see point 3), the Claw-type warrior (Transformation spirit sorcerer or short Tss) learns the most flexible skills of all 4 Element Types: Transformations (as his name already says). With these he can choose from either fast mid-damage, slow but massive damage, long range normal damage, long range massive, but slow damage and so on and so furth. This class is perfect for players, who do not like the hectic skill use in fights and more like to have a class that fits into nearly every possible situation.

For tankers, the hammer-type warrior (Defense spirit sorcerer or short Dss) is the best choice. Although having the slowest attack speed of all Element Types, this fella convinces with his massive HP and huge damage. Especially when fighting bosses, this class is asked for most. In case of having potions which raise the attack speed, he can become the best melee class in-game.

Water type (Gms or Dms)
In the world of Gate to heavens, sorcerers may not be missing. Either having powerful healing skills or making enormously much damage, both awakened classes have something of both.
After awakening (see point 3) the healer-type sorcerer (Guardian mystic sorcerer or short Gms) is one of the best additions for a party. Her mighty party heal cast, her ability to resurrect people and of course the ability to buff players with HP and physical attack bonus are making this class attractive to play. Up to a certain level, this class can easily level alone due to pretty high damage with her casts, only getting problems later as she is not having as much skills as the other selection of awakening.

In case you don‘t feel like healing other people and only wanting to cause massive damage in any possible way, the destruction-type sorcerer (Destruction mystic sorcerer or short Dms) is the best choice for you. Her casts are the most powerful attacks in the game, so that this class is attractive as well in bossfights, as long as you are having a good healer and not feel like a tanker. Its main objective is to make as much damage as possible, which makes it a pretty good soloing class.

Q:I have created a new character and joined the game, what should i do first?
A:Depending on what class you have chosen you are now in either a town named "Cathidia"(as a Soul or Wind hermit) or in "Cape Sodo"(As an Earth or Water hermit). You surely noticed that on the left hand side a window popped up, asking you whether you want to use the tutorial system. As this explains you general things like controls and a rough overview about what some functions are, it is recommended to use it when first playing the game.
