Hey, are you new to the game? Do you want to collect as much experience as possible? When u play first time u should use pure skills (only str for bear , only dex for bird , only int for mage). The best character to start is a dex bird i think , because its easiest to collect experience . Dex birds are very accepted in groups. Int mages are good too but bird is better for start. Them there are mixes of skills like : str/dex , dex/int , int/str (the last one is not very useful). There mixed skills are something for advanced players and can be used as twinks . Hope that helped ! If you have any other questions just ask
