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

Consuming a Stat Elixir 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

Consuming a Skill Manual 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

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

Players are considered to be "Active" for the next 5 minutes and earn 25 Points after any of the following actions in the last 5 minutes:

• Harvest a Small or Large Mushroom
• Harvest Rainwater
• Broken open a Supply Container
• Use a Tunnel
• Killed a Creature
