The biped trade schools build structures like houses, guild houses, walls, workshops, silos, and consignors. The biped trade school splits up in schools to produce usable items, like clothes, armor, weapons, jewelry, scrolls, potions, food, tools, and spells. The three dragon trade schools are used to build lairs, scales, spells and crystals. The tradeskill system is of a very high grade of complexity.
The Lunus prefer to use melee attacks during fights and are less friendly to bipeds. Helians prefer to use magic in combat, and are more friendly to bipeds. During the quest to adulthood, dragons need to decide between two different factions, called the Helian and the Lunus.

In another series of quests, dragons become older, reaching the point of ancient dragon, which adds more abilities. A dragon starts as a flightless hatchling, but over the course of the game they grow up to an adult dragon who is able to fly. In this sense, they are different from bipeds. The adventure schools split up into the healer, mage and warrior paths, as well as hybrid paths.ĭragons have one adventure school and three trade schools. These abilities can be changed between the schools, as they often have their own disadvantages as well. Each adventure school adds master-able abilities to the character, which can be used in all other adventure schools, adding additional powers to the character.
Only one trade and adventure school can be active at a time. The biped classes have the special ability to be able to learn any amount of trade schools. There are 28 adventures and 19 trade schools a biped can choose from. These include Dragons, in addition to the more biped classes of Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Half-giant Dryad, Satyr, Fiend, Saris (a catlike anthropomorphic humanoid), and Sslik (an asexual non-anthropomorphic reptilian humanoid). There are eleven playable races in Istaria. To fight in PvP battles, one would have to travel to a designated PvP area, like the Isle of Battles. Unlike other MMORPGs, players do not normally fight each other in player versus player (PvP) battles, but they work together in player versus environment (PvE) battles. The goal is to join the forces of the "Gifted" together with other players against the evil hordes of undead, the "Withered Aegis", to build communities, repair broken structures, and solve quests. Istaria uses the race/class/level paradigm common to many role-playing games, as well as similar mechanics as other massively multiplayer online games. Istaria allows players to build non-instanced player communities with either multi-level underground dragon chambers or ground level communities.
Istaria is unique among MMORPGs in that players may choose a dragon for their avatar. Set in a sword and sorcery world, the game allows players to be adventurers, crafters, or both, and features a struggle between the "living races" (including the players), and "the Withered Aegis", an army of the undead seeking to destroy all life. On July 18, 2007, Virtrium LLC (Vi) acquired the rights to the game. Tulga Games, LLC acquired the game and all related assets on Januand sold them to EI Interactive in July 2006. Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by American studio Virtrium and originally released by Artifact Entertainment as Horizons: Empire of Istaria.
