PVP

When players are in the same area, they will have the option to attack each other. Players being attacked will always have a chance to retaliate. After attacking or being attacked, players may continue to move areas and are not limited in movement like with npc combat. PVP areas are multi combat zones for players. Multiple players may engage in combat with each other. Kills are awarded to players who deliver the final attack that drains their opponent to 0 health. With each kill, players are awarded experience and all of the funds carried in the inventory of their kill. Make sure you bank your funds and return to a safe area before logging out. Your profile will remain visible for up to 15 minutes.

NPC Combat

Players will be randomly attacked by various creatures while in the forest. The will be an option to fight or run. Stronger creatures reside in the southern areas. Experience and mana are rewarded for successful npc kills. Npc drops include small bags of funds and stamina potions.

Inventory

Various inventory items function differently. Consumable items such as food or potions may be used by clicking their icon. Consumable items and resources are stackable up to a carry capacity. The carry capacity goes up with each level. Some items such as tools are not stackable.

Stamina and Harvesting

Methods of gaining resources include foraging, cutting wood, fishing, mining, and cooking. Harvesting may be done in the forest, at the mines, or at the lake and requires that the player has stamina points. Players have a level of stamina that may be put toward harvesting. Each successful harvest drains 1 stamina point. Every 5 minutes, 1 stamina point is regenerated. Players gain higher stamina capacity as they level up.

Hunting

Players who are into the forest will have the option of going hunting. Selecting the hunt option will attempt to initiate combat with an npc from the players current area. This will allow for training combat without moving around and waiting to be attacked. When a player goes hunting and finds a target, 1 stamina will be used. No stamina is used if no target is found. There's a 50 percent chance of the player attacking first or the target attacking first.

Foraging

While in the forest, players may attempt to forage for berries. The chances of finding berries is low and will require many repeated attempts. Foraging requires no tools. Berries are consumable for a small amount of health. They may also be sold at the general stores in North and South Town. Players have a small chance to find a small bag of funds instead of berries.

Cutting Wood

Cutting wood requires the player to be in the forest and have an axe. Selecting the option to cut wood attempts to give the player some wood. Players may sell the wood at the lumber camp or cook with it. Players may obtain an axe coupon at the lumber camp if their axe breaks. The axe coupon will reduce the price of the players next axe from 10 to 2 funds.

Fishing

Fishing requires the player to be at the lake and have a net. Selecting the option to catch fish attempts to give the player some raw fish. Players may attempt to cook the raw fish or sell it.

Cooking

Cooking requires the player to be at the lake or in the forest. The player must also have raw fish, wood, and a firestarter.

Players may eat the cooked fish for a medium amount of health or sell it. Cooked fish sells for a little more than raw fish.

Mining

Ore may be mined to create various weapons. There is an iron mine, coal mine, and magic mine. Mining requires a pickaxe, which may be purchased at the blacksmith.

Iron weapons require iron ore to build. Steel weapons require iron ore and coal to build. Magic weapons require magic ore and coal to build. Players may only own one weapon at a time. When a new weapon is obtained, the old one is lost. Weapons have their own health. Each attack during npc combat will degrade weapon health by 1. Weapons do not degrade in pvp usage. If the weapon health is at 1, weapons may randomly break while in use at any time. More powerful weapons are less likely to break, but still may break at any time if the weapon health is fully degraded. Weapons may be repaired at the blacksmith. Each repair costs 1 fund and regenerates 30 weapon health.

Potions

Health potions restore 10 health. Mana potions restore 10 mana. Stamina potions restore 10 stamina. Health and mana potions may be purchased at the general stores in North Town and South Town. Stamina potions may be randomly found while foraging or as npc drops.

Players may use magic in pvp combat by possessing magic essence. One essence is used for every attack. The attack can be direct or a retaliation. Players attacking with magic essence will cause up to 1 to 3 extra damage. The magic damage stacks with weapon damage. Magic essence may be produced for 2 mana each at the magic altar.

Random Events

Npc battles appear randomly in the forest or at the lake. Axes, nets, and firestarters all have a random chance of breaking after a number of uses. Players have a random chance of getting hurt while harvesting resources. Players have a random chance of finding a bag of funds while foraging. When eating berries or cooked fish, there's a small chance for the player to get food poisoning. If poisoned, the player will lose 1 health instead of gaining any and the food item will still be lost.
