[. . . ] The tomes will reveal your enemy's weaknesses. Your First Upgrade Got more than 5000 gold?OK, head back into the equipment area and go talk to your host (either Starfall or Mephisto). BRONZE tokens will afford you ability, skill, feat, basic damage, miscellaneous immunity and damage resistance upgrades. SILVER tokens will afford you improved damage upgrades on weapons and ammunition. GOLD tokens will afford you keen, holy avenger, weapon enhancement upgrades and damage reduction on your shield Note: The types of upgrade will vary depending on which item you are imbuing. For example, elemental resistance can only be upgraded on cloaks and physical damage resistances can only be upgraded on armour. Get familiar with this system because it is central to your success in the arena!Depending on the item and the token, you will be presented with a menu. By now you should have got the idea on how to progress in the arena using tokens and upgrades. 4 Hint: As soon as you get 5000 gold, go buy a bronze token and upgrade your boots with the haste property. Entering the Arena First-time characters will be stripped of all gold and items. New players will be given an Arena of Champions (AOC) membership card. All players who possess this card will not be stripped upon re-entry to the arena. The Character Builder Using Starfall, you can receive or take levels, change your alignment and remove items and/or gold from your character. The primary purpose of this module is to facilitate the building of characters in the pursuit of perfecting the art of character building. The arena is particularly well suited to uber builds and should challenge them well. The secondary purpose of this mod is to provide a challenging and fun single player arena. Items There is a range of standard items available. If you wish to upgrade them, you will have to earn arena tokens and use the awesome Eye of Amaterasu. This is further explained in the appropriate sections of this manual. The Eye of Amaterasu 5 The Arena The arena has been designed for level 40 characters only. If you can last more than 30 seconds with a lower level character, please send me the build details. Your Game Host If you choose any good or neutral alignment, Starfall will be your host and you will face 10 champions of darkness in the arena. If you choose any evil alignment, Mephisto will be your host and you will face 10 champions of light in the arena. The champions of light are more difficult than the champions of darkness. So when you have defeated all of the bad guys, try going up against the good guys. Starfall Mephisto Game Modes Multiplayer and Single Player Games The arena has been set up to facilitate any number of players in cooperative arena challenges or duels. If you wish to duel your characters with their imported equipment, you will have to do the following: Open the toolset go to edit > module properties in the OnClientEnter slot, type in "pvp_set_duelmode" This will replace the standard script with one that doesn't strip players of items. If you want to revert back to the original script, repeat the above steps and simply type "pvp_set" in the OnClientEnter script slot. [. . . ] You can also control various arena facilities from the options menu within. Examine this object for more details on its use. Hint: Examine any object to discover its purpose and how to use it.

The primary purpose of The Arena of Champions is to refine character building, but I was inspired by Tristen's mod, so I thought I'd offer some campaign management while I was there!I'm sorry if this seems a bit slack, but his work was so meticulous and comprehensive, I couldn't possibly better it.
