There are a variety of resources out there for build information and it is worthwhile, if you are so inclined, to spend some time considering your build in advance of implementing it.  The purpose of this page to assist people looking for more sources of information to build out their characters.  The balance between a viable build Mechanically and for Role Play purposes is often a struggle and it is easy to build a character that could be optimised better.  There are a number of tools available to assist people with building characters and a number of build examples.

There are a variety of resources out there for build information and it is worthwhile, if you are so inclined, to spend some time considering your build in advance of implementing it. The purpose of this page to assist people looking for more sources of information to build out their characters. The balance between a viable build Mechanically and for Role Play purposes is often a struggle and it is easy to build a character that could be optimised better. There are a number of tools available to assist people with building characters and a number of build examples.

Sources of Information

  • Maintained by the Build Advisors and Compendium Advisors from the Official Arelith Discord
  • You may contact them to get a character build included at their approval.
  • Arelith - PGCC: A dedicated build server found in the list of Arelith Servers.
  • Character builds and equipment builds can be tested here without most of the prerequisite effort required in obtaining experience, gold, equipment, skills, etc.
  • Your character from the main servers can be copied here using the -transfer command
  • Official Arelith Discord: The offical discord, managed by staff including channels for all things Arelith including build channels:
  • character-build-advice channel: A channel for discussing character builds. There is a role for the build helpers and they show up in Orange (Build Advisor)
  • build-guides: A channel dedicated to vetted builds.
  • Arelith Forums: Arelith specific forum containing a Builds & Mechanics sections
  • Although builds can be discussed here, at the time of writing, the predominate source of build support is the Discord. There are some notable things on the forum however.
  • Other Stuff

Build Index

The previous build index was very out of date and has been decommissioned. That page is still viewable in history and I’ll provide a link to it here later, until then use page history. The following is a work in process developed and maintained by the Arelith builders group:
