For new players we have the following set of Let's Plays to help you level up:
Player Classes

Game Days in Tale of the White Wyvern
For each real Earth day that happens for us in real time, in Tale of the White Wyvern there are two days that pass.
When a new game day begins, a few things trigger in game.
The list below isn't exhaustive, as there are some things we want to keep secret.
What Times Do New Days Trigger?
- Noon PT / 3p ET
- Midnight PT / 3a ET
Things that replenish in the new day: Forest fights, Player fights, Wyvern fights, NPC
Relationships, Bard song and all your class abilities.
Other things that happen in the new day: Your bank gold gains interest, your legal partnership
bonuses trigger and if you died you are reborn.
How PvP Works
Each day you get a certain amount of Player VS Player fights, and you can choose to fight others in the Fields or Inn.
The rules for PvP in the fields are as follows.
- You can only attack players your level or one level lower.
- You can only attack players that are not currently playing the game.
If you leave the game, people can find you and attack you in the Fields.
If you want some basic protection, rent a room at the Inn.
Renting a room at the Inn room provides you with the following protections:
- Players have to pay to call you out in the Inn. This currently costs LEVEL * 1,600 Gold.
- Players staying in the Inn are granted first strike in the fight.
- Players can only attack other players your level or higher.
- Attackers in the fields can see the weapon the defending Player is practicing with.
If you win or lose a PvP battle it's good to know how it will turn out for you. How that works is as follows.
If you initiated an attack against another player and you...
- WIN you gain 50% of that players experience.
- WIN you gain ANY gold they had on hand (make sure to bank gold from time to time and before you
stop playing for the day).
- LOSE you lose 10% of your current experience.
- LOSE all the gold you had on hand to your opponent.
If you defended yourself against another player and you...
- WIN you gain 50% of that players experience.
- WIN you gain ANY gold they had on hand (make sure to bank gold from time to time and before you
stop playing for the day).
- LOSE you lost 5% of your current experience.
- LOSE all the gold you had on hand to your opponent.
Defeating The Wyvern & The Endgame
Your goal is to level up in power and experience to get to level 12. Only at level 12 can you challenge and defeat The
White Wyvern.
Each time you kill the Wyvern, you add to your Wyvern Kill count and are born again at level one to take on the Wyvern
again. Each time you defeat the Wyvern you unlock a new in-game character title and a new chapter in the Tome of Lore
at Tarbreth's Adventurer Training's Hall of Honored Adventurers. Each new chapter opens up the world story for Tale of
the White Wyvern and after you unlock chapter 5 that is the final "endgame." On top of the unlockable chapters in the
Tome of Lore each class has a unique ending as well.
Each of your first five Wyvern kills in any game awards you the following titles:
- Scale Holder
- Claw Keeper
- Tooth Bearer
- Wyrmsbane
- Wyvernslayer
After each Wyvern kill your player is reborn back at level 1 where you can select a new class.
Each of your player attributes are reset including gold, skills and experience but the following are kept:
username, wyvern kills, player kills, charm,
titles, and your dead card.
Each successive Wyvern fight gets harder up to the hardest 5th Wyvern fight.
We currently consider the endgame to be when a player kills the Wyvern 5 times and achieves the title Wyvernslayer.
Paragon Points
Each 5 Wyvern kills nets you a Paragon coin you can spend to help give you essential in-game bonuses. You also will be
ranked
higher than other players when you spend your coins than players that don't.
- Every 5 Wyvern kills, you receive a paragon coin.
- You can redeem a paragon coin here at the potion shop.
-
You can redeem the coin whenever you like, or you can choose not to redeem it. It's entirely up to you.
-
Each coin redemption resets your charm to 1 and your dead card to
0. However, you receive the following benefits:
- +1 to your player paragon points.
- A permanent +5% boost to forest exp gain.
- A permanent +5% boost to forest gold find.
- A permanent +5% boost to your bank interest.
- New titles, up to your sixth redemption:
- Prestigious & Prestidigitonium
- Demigod, Demigoddess & Demideity
- God, Goddess & Deity
- Old God, Ancient Goddess & Eternal Deity
- Nephilim
- Titan
-
These benefits are additive; for instance, if you have redeemed three paragon coins, you will have a total of
15% experience gain, gold find, and increased bank interest.
Interacting with NPCs
There are currently three NPCs in the game you can interact with. You can only interact with one NPC per day
for a benefit to your character if you have enough charm to pull off the interaction. As your player gains charm
you can gain more benefits to your NPC interaction by way of gold, experience and forest fights.
On top of the NPC interaction system described above Jon Boyd the Bard is a bit different. You can interact with him
in two
ways per day such that you can listen to him sing you a song AND choose to interact with him as described above.
Listening to Jon Boyd
the bard sing to you is a seperate NPC interaction and works on top of interacting with other NPCs.
Fishing
Within Woodhaven Lake, you can choose to fish in the Shallows, at the Waterfall, or in the Murky Depths. These
locations will have different fish that you can catch. But be careful-- some fish may not like being caught and may
fight back!
If you lose a fish fight...
- You lose all but 10 hitpoints.
- All fish you had in your inventory are lost.
- All remaining fishing turns are lost.
You can't fish without a pole! Able can sell you one. As you level up, Able can give you guidance on whether to
upgrade your fishing pole. If your fishing pole power is too low, it will break in a fish fight due to it being too
weak.
Eat or Sell the Fish
You can choose to eat your fish or sell them. You can only learn what a fish can do if you first eat one to test it
out. Some effects will be better than others, and you may not like some of them. The fish effects are temporary, and
will reset on the next game day. Your fish will rot if you don't either eat them or sell them on the game day you
caught them, so keep that in mind as you fish!
Discover All The Fish With Your Fish-dex
When you eat fish and learn their effects, they'll fill out an entry in your Fish-Dex! There are currently 27 total
fish for you to unlock. When you first catch a fish, it unlocks in your Fish-Dex and shows you the fish's effects.
Any fish you haven't found yet will give you a hint about where to find them.
The Seasons
Each Wyvern game has game seasonal events that effect the world in different ways. Typically seasonal world
events can increase daily forest fights, gold and experience drops. You can talk
to Helga at Helga’s Potions & Healing Shoppe
for more information on each season in your specific Wyvern game.
