How it works

Seventeen skills, each levelled from 1 to 100 on its own experience. Where experience comes from, how boosts work, and the full level table.

How a hit turns into damage, in the order the server works it out: damage types, resistance, your levels, critical hits, armor and faction bonuses.

A block stops a share of each hit, up to a cap, for a fifth of your stamina. Start it just before the hit lands to parry: twice the share, no stamina cost.

Vitality sets your maximum health and Dexterity your maximum stamina. Health only refills itself to 40%, so food does the rest.

How a creature's loot table is rolled, what "1 in 128" really means, and how many kills a rare drop takes.

Gear comes in five qualities, Common to Legendary. Better quality means higher stats, more value, more rolled modifiers and a higher level requirement.

A recipe's minigame grades you from C to S. The grade sets the quality odds of what you make, and crafting by hand pays 1.75 times the experience.

Your tool decides how often a gather succeeds and your level how fast you work, and most rocks and trees can simply be hit. The rules for every gathering skill.

Shops pay you a share of an item's value and charge a multiple of it. What each shop pays and charges, and how quality changes both.

Dying costs you what is in your pack, never your gear, coins, bank or levels. Adon keeps the lot, gives three stacks back free and sells you the rest.

Adon's gift fills a curse meter as you fight, gather and craft. Ichor and totems hold it down, and your humanity decides how hard the curse bites.

Up to four players can team up. Everyone in a party earns 3% more experience, but loot and kill credit stay with whoever tagged the creature.
