Are smurf accounts allowed in Smite

To answer your question, one doesn't get to choose spells. Each character has a predetermined list of actions/spells/abilities.

Each character has 5 unique abilities that are broken down into:

• 1 passive ability
• 3 "spells"
• 1 ultimate ability

The reason why I quote "spells" is that not all characters are magic users.

If you have auto level and auto items on (which it is by default) it will automatically level up your spells in the order HiRez (the game developer) has defined. You can override this order by unchecking autoleveling (which means you'll have to manually upgrade each level in game) or if you click on the "gods" menu you can define the auto leveling order.

The 2 abilities you were referring to are known as "actives". Think of an active as an item you can purchase that grants you a special ability. This special ability is on a cooldown timer. You have unlimited uses and once you buy an item you cannot sell it or discard. You only have 2 slots for active items.

You can view all items/armor/weapons/etc currently in game here: https://account.hirezstudios.com/smitegame/items.aspx I recommend sorting it by grid as opposed to list. (blue button, top right)

Please note that the game is still in beta and they do add/modify/remove items frequently between patches so make sure you read the patch notes after each patch.

Some of the items that are considered "actives" are:

• Aegis Amulet
• Blink
• Creeping Curse
• Girdle of Might
• Hand of the gods
• Heavenly Agility
• Meditation
• Purification Beads
• Shielded Recall
• Sprint

I also have a small tutorial page at http://www.teamlqd.com/1/post/2013/11/smite-once-you-smite-you-know-its-right.html

Actions that get you gold:

• Being in the vicinity when a minion or jungle creep dies (I believe it's 50 feet). This method only gets you partial, unless you have Watcher's gift
  • You will not get any gold if your defending objectives (towers, phoenix, titan) last hit the minion
• Last hitting a minion gets you an additional 50% bonus
• killing jungle creeps
• destroying objectives (towers, phoenixes, gold fury, Fire Giant). Everyone on the team receives gold regardless of where they are.
• getting a kill assist on a god (damaging, CCing, or "body blocking" counts as assist)
• First Blood (the first god kill of the game) is an additional 200 gold bonus
• getting a kill on a god. the formula for how much you earn per kill is below.

Base Amount = (150 + (Gold Earned by Victim / 100)) Level Adjustment = ((enemy level - player level) * .1) This is capped at +/- .6. Total = (Base Amount + (Base Amount * Level Difference Adjustment)) * 1.1 ^ Opponents Kill Streak

In Conquest:

• All gods start with 1500 gold
• towers are 200 gold global, 250 for assist in bringing it down
• phoenixes are 150 global, 200 for assist bringing down
• small jungle fury gives 71 gold (if solo or with Bumba's mask)
• large(mid) jungle fury gives 90 gold (again, jungle so if solo or with the Mask)
• jungle buff camps give 91 gold
• gold fury is 300 global
• fire giant is 150 global
• last hit is a 50% bonus added to the "normal" proximity reward
• Archer minions give 18 gold on last hit if solo, 12 proximity.
• Melee minions give 25 gold on last hit if solo, 17 proximity.
• brute minions (big melee guys) give 29 gold if solo, 20 proximity.

When friendly gods are around you the gold reward splits evenly. Example, if you are in the duo lane, archer minions will give 6 gold, but if you or your partner god last hit while you have Watcher's, you will get 9.

The other modes merely scale on this base formula.

There is also options in the game to tweak reward text so it's more clear. The default pops up near your god with pretty small text. God kill rewards will also show up in the chat feed.
