New release: exp and upgrade points! Read the article!


​Hi adventurers!

This update introduces the experience system! 

You get 1 upgrade point every 100 experience points. And you can expend those upgrade points raising your stats as you wish in the newly added upgrade screen. This way you can customize your progress as you play!

How do you earn experience? 🏆

  • By defeating enemies you get their level×3, so an easy monster gets 3 points, an intermediate gets 6, a hard one 9, and the boss 12. In the case of bosses, as they tend to be located at chapters, you may also get extra experience or stats raise on those.

  • When you explore a new place you’ve not been before, you get 25 exp points.

  • When you finish a job, you get 75 exp.

  • When you finish a main or secondary quest (parts of the story), in addition to the stats raise or prizes, you also will get 250 exp.

How do I know if I can upgrade? 

You can check your progress, experience and upgrade on the Characers screen. 
Also, the character’s image on the map will show the word “UPGRADE”, also blinking.

The sanctuaries will only raise random stats up to the default+1 point or +2 in the Palace of Dryads (still closed).

Now, your way to get stats raise is to actually play, explore, complete quests, and fight monsters. This gives you control and balances the game. If used wisely, it also makes you  according to your preferred strategy.

I truly appreciate all the support you’re giving to my game, from the bottom of my heart!
