Core Systems

View class details
Axiom
  • Precision battlemage with shields and controlled burst windows.
  • Rewards planned rotations and punishes overextending.
  • Vibe: disciplined, arcane, methodical.
Fluxborn
  • Mobile skirmisher that thrives on repositioning and chaining procs.
  • Great for kiting, poking, and opportunistic burst.
  • Vibe: agile, kinetic, opportunist.
Verdant
  • Sustaining hybrid with growth effects, regen, and control of the field.
  • Excels at attrition fights and small-group support.
  • Vibe: living armor, nature-charged, resilient.
Null
  • Control-focused anti-magic with debuffs, silences, and traps.
  • Rewards setup play and punishing greedy casters.
  • Vibe: void-touched, cunning, disruptive.
Skills
  • Progression comes from use and smart training—focus early on your main weapon path and defenses.
  • Buffs and augments scale better when your core skill is at benchmark breakpoints.
  • Keep a small stash of training ammo/runes to level while waiting for parties.
Monsters
  • Expect ambient/zone-based spawning—watch for density spikes when events roll.
  • Skulls or glow effects hint at elites; pull them carefully or kite into open space.
  • Carry a few potions for cleanse/heal windows to survive burst phases.
Key Features
  • Harvesting/woodcutting feeds crafting and unlocks better consumables.
  • Tiered loot with ambient drops and zone tables—higher danger means higher roll quality.
  • Augments plug into gear for tailored builds; experiment early to find your groove.
  • World feels alive with weather, events, and rotating spawn moods.
Loot & Economy
  • Keep augments, rare mats, and crafting reagents; sell bulk commons for quick gold.
  • Vendors handle basics; higher-tier trades happen through players or the auction house.
  • When unsure, ask in Discord before vendoring something that drops rarely.

FAQ

Download the client, open it, and follow the launcher/server list. If you need specifics, see the Connect page in the nav for the latest details.

Pick one of the four classes, choose your look/name, and confirm your starting kit. Your first log-in places you in the starter area with beginner supplies.

Choose the playstyle you enjoy most: Axiom (measured, shielded caster), Fluxborn (mobile skirmisher), Verdant (sustaining hybrid), or Null (control/anti-magic). You can make alts to try them all.

Begin in the starter town, stock up, then follow the main road to the closest Tier 1 hunting loop. Stay near guards until you’re comfortable with movement and spell timing.

If you’re stuck, log out and back in, then check Discord for live help. If it’s a map bug, share the tile/location and what led to it so staff can reproduce and fix quickly.

Keep augments and rare materials, sell bulk commons to vendors for gold, and save wood/ore/herbs for crafting. Use the auction house or Discord to move anything with good tiers.

You can solo Tier 1-2 loops comfortably; grouping speeds up XP and loot, and helps you learn class synergies. Join Discord voice for the best first-dungeon experience.
