Crafting

A defensive aura that hits lightly and retaliates when struck, scaling with Defense and Max Health.
Aura Hit: 2-4 damage / 2.80sRetaliate: 9 damage when struck, 2.00s cooldownDetails
Questions before the first expedition.
A few practical details about rewards, death, saves, and crafting before you start.
What do I do first?
Create a character, choose one active rune, then start an Expedition from the world map. Your rune is your main attack.
What is an Expedition?
An Expedition is a run of fights. You beat enemies, reach checkpoints, collect pending rewards, and decide whether to leave or keep going.
How do I keep rewards?
When you reach a checkpoint, choose to end the Expedition. That safely keeps your gear, support runes, crafting materials, and region progress.
What happens if I die?
You lose the rewards that were still pending in that Expedition. If you find something you care about, leave at the next checkpoint.
What does Crafting do?
Crafting improves gear. Expeditions give you gear and materials, then Crafting lets you change or improve the stats on that gear.
What are Logbooks?
Logbooks are upgrade trees for specific regions. They let you make a region safer, more rewarding, or more dangerous depending on what you choose.
What are Rune Masteries?
Rune Masteries are special paths for your active runes. As a rune levels up, its mastery gets stronger and changes how that rune plays.
Should I play guest or account?
Guest play saves on this device only. Create an account if you want your heroes backed up and easier to continue later.
Is the game finished?
No. This is early alpha. Combat, Expedition Logbooks, rune masteries, crafting, discoveries, and progression are playable, but balance and systems will keep changing.
