This is a page about the mechanics of Wayfarer. If you are looking for origin, history, roleplay, or any other lore-related topic, see: WayfarerIcon.png[Wayfarer (lore)].

Overview

Wayfarers are savage warriors of the wild places of Sapience, brutal and bloody berserkers who feed on rage. Equipped with a pair of axes and some light leather armor, they are uniquely capable of pursuing both a limb and affliction based offense at the same time, making them incredibly effective duelists who require great skill to effectively counter - and great skill to effectively use. Wayfarers bring a number of unique assets to a group effort, including the infamous ability to HALT an enemy in their tracks. They are among the greatest hunters in the land, able to swap one axe for a shield and draw on their rage to make them unstoppable flurries of death and destruction with enough damage output to compete for a top spot.

A new Wayfarer is advised to use the typical statpack, though they may change to something else later. Everyone receives one free reincarnation upon leaving novicehood (level 31), and if that is used up, another one upon reaching Tekal (level 99). It is common for people to keep an early statpack until reaching level 100.

Skills

Tenacity revolves around the use of handaxes for both melee and ranged attacks, including the iconic execute.
Wayfaring consists of an array of defensive and utility abilities, with a special emphasis on a chosen terrain (AB MASTERY).
Fury involves accumulating 'rage', a resource that can then be spent on a variety of shouts that can do anything from bolstering allies to startling or debilitating enemies.
