UNDECEMBER Character Creating
Rune Cast
Your Skill Runes are first equipped on the Rune Cast. Upon equipping a Skill Rune, the corresponding skill becomes available for use. Each Skill Rune can have up to 6 slots open, and Link Runes with the identical color can be placed in these slots.
UNDECEMBER Rune Cast
Link Runes can enhance or change the effect of Skill Runes. Even when using the same Skill Rune, a different build can be made based on the equipped Link Rune. Also, if multiple Skill Runes are connected to one Link Rune, a single Link Rune can empower multiple Skil Runes.
The free slots on the Rune Cast are limited. To increase the number of your slots, you have to pay with gold, and each Rune Cast slot costs 100,000 gold.
Zodiac
Pressing the Z key opens the Zodiac. Zodiac is your Talent tree, which offers multiple builds, allowing you to create your own character through Stat distribution.
UNDECEMBER Zodiac
Zodiac has two parts. The first part is at the center with three Stats: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. Once the Stats reach a certain value, various gears can be equipped for battle.
Every time you level up in UNDECEMBER, you get 5 Stat Points, and you can distribute the points into Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence. How many points you invest in each Stat depends on what kind of buffs fit your character best.
Dexterity
Dexterity improves your accuracy and helps with dodging more attacks. When you put points in Dexterity, your character will become squishy but quick and can deal massive damage.
Strength
Strength increases health and armor, allowing you to be more Tanky on the battlefield. The Strength Stat gives you a large health pool so you don't have to worry about dying. However, you will deal less damage.
Intelligence
Intelligence is mainly used by casters. If you want a ranged character that will shoot spells and deal damage that way, the Intelligence Stat is the right choice. With Intelligence, you will gain extra mana and a barrier that allows you to stay alive as much as possible in each fight.
The second part of the Zodiac is composed of Constellations that can be activated with Trait Points. Once you hit level 10, you can get one Trait Point with each level up, and you will want to put points in the nodes which give the buffs you need.
UNDECEMBER Zodiac Traits
You can reset your Stats and Traits without costing any gold until Episode 2 is completed.
Auction House
The Auction House is a place to trade goods with the other players in the game. You will unlock the Auction House after reaching Level 30 and Act.3. Interact with the NPC called Sald in Town to check the Auction House. You can buy and sell armor, weapons, accessories, and other items at the Auction House. To purchase any single item there, you have to pay with Rubies.

How to Get Rubies in UNDECEMBER
The first way is buying Diamonds, a premium currency only obtained by paying real cash, and then you can change your Diamond into Rubies.
The second method to get Ruby is to sell items at the Auction House, but it requires you to spend a lot of time farming or crafting.
The third way to get a lot of Rubies quickly is to buy cheap UNDECEMBER Ruby from reliable third-party websites.
Gear
Items in UNDECEMBER hold unlimited potential. The option and grade of gears can be changed endlessly through enchanting. Materials required for enchanting can be obtained by disassembling unused gears. That means general farming leads to enchanting.
For example, the Magic Upgrade Essence changes a Normal, Magic item into a Magic item and resets the maximum option count. If you have a Normal helmet, you can take it to the blacksmith, right-click the weapon to register and use your Magic Upgrade Essence to upgrade it.
