Strangelands Moongates

When a Strangelands event is scheduled to begin, Strangeland Gates will appear throughout towns and players may double-click them to access the Strangelands Menu for the event


Strangelands Hotbar

All players have a Strangelands Hotbar which appears on their screen and is updated periodically during the event. The Hotbar will display the following stats:

  • Hunger level
  • Thirst level
  • Total Points earned


Relieving Hunger

  • Players can double-click or lift any Small or Large Mushrooms to harvest them. Eating a Small or Large Mushroom will reduce your Hunger level by 10 or 20 respectively
  • Killing creatures will yield Raw Meat which can be eaten to reduce your Hunger level by varying amounts


Relieving Thirst

  • Players can double-click or lift any Rainwater item to harvest a Bottle of Water. Drinking this item will reduce your Thirst level by 10


Supply Containers

  • Players may encounter Supply Containers which can be double-clicked to break open, yielding a variety of items


Resurrection

  • When a player dies, they will automatically be resurrected at a random spawn location where they will be hidden for 30 seconds


Items

All of a player's starting items are Blessed and will respawn with them upon death. Blessed items cannot be equipped, used, or activated by anyone other than their original owner. Some characters will start with Blessed consumables such as Potions or Arrows These items have an unlimited number of uses but cannot be stacked with any non-Blessed versions of the same item type

  • Stat Elixirs
Players may come across Stat Elixers. Consuming one of these will increase the player's respective stat by 2 to a maximum of 100. Players cannot increase their stats total above 225 in this manner
  • Skill Manuals
Players may come across Skill Manuels Consuming one of these will increase the player's respective skill by 2 to a maximum of 100. Players cannot use a Skill Manual for a skill they currently have 0 in and cannot increase their total skills above 700 in this manner
  • Spellstones
Players who play a character with the Magery skill will not have reagents, but will instead start with Blessed Spellstones that provide unlimited reagents needed for their spells
  • Spell Scrolls
Players who play a character with the Magery skill will have only a limited number of starting spells added to their spellbook based on their chosen template. Additional spells can be acquired through Spell Scrolls which occur as loot items
  • Trap Kits
Players using the Engineer template receive a Traps Kit which automatically provides any Potion needed for trap placement when using Trap Wire


Skills

  • To be completed
  • Detect Hidden - does NOT reveal nearby hidden players, BUT instead creates an arrow pointing to the nearest Tunnel up to (Detect Hidden skill) tiles away


Tunnels

  • Players should keep an eye out for Tunnels appearing in random locations. By moving over or double-clicking a Tunnel the player will be teleported to another random Tunnel location where they will be hidden for 30 seconds. Using a Tunnel removes both the entrance and the exit from the map. Every 5 minutes, all existing Tunnels are removed and new Tunnels are placed throughout the map
  • All players begin with a Tunnel Shovel, which may be used once during the event to teleport to a random Tunnel location where the player will remain hidden for 5 minutes


Storage Caches

  • Players can drop and deposit up to 5 Items in each Storage Cache. When a player dies, all items they have deposited across all Storage Caches on the map are placed into their backpack. Players can also use Storage Caches to deposit and score Trophies Unlike Tunnels, Storage Caches do not change their location once spawned


Player Activity

Trophies
