Still game?

Bring the part of you that liked getting lost, getting good, and getting everyone into trouble. Hunt, make things, follow your curiosity, and find people worth coming back for.

Your pace can change. The adventure still has room for you.

Make a life. Make a little trouble.

Samhan Chronicles is a free-to-win, 2D online role-playing game in a shared pixel world. Hunt, grow, craft, trade, and explore at your own pace, with as much company as you like.

Choose a fighting Path. Learn a trade. Supply somebody’s next outing, join it, or set out on your own. There is more than one way to have a good day.

Make a killing.

Yes. Choose your Path, practise your skills, and see how far you can go. Hunting and core progression are free.

A party brings other people’s skills into the adventure. On your own, a well-packed bag becomes particularly good company. Bring back the carcasses: somebody can put the rest of your hunt to work.

There is work beyond the sharp end.

Grow supplies, gather materials, make useful things, or trade with the people who need them. The hunter’s bag does not fill itself.

Shared projects need materials, too. Your contribution can help change the world without making you the most dangerous person in it.

Bring yourself. We supply the circumstances.

You do not need theatrical speech or an invented personality. Samhan supplies the shock, surprise, and challenge; your own reactions, humour, and friendships belong in the world.

Be curious. Be helpful. Make a questionable decision with excellent company. That is plenty to begin with.

A new road back to a feeling.

Samhan is a love letter to the games that gave us other lives: strange worlds learned by heart, familiar names in town, and things we became surprisingly good at together.

Bring the player you are today. You do not need to have loved the same games to have something to bring.

Because you should get a say.

A story can tell you a bridge matters. A shared world can let you help build it, cross it, and meet someone who brought the timber.

Samhan puts the connections in your hands: the work, the choices, the people, and the occasional very bad idea.

Only if you insist on doing everyone’s.

There is work here. You get to choose what makes it worth doing. Hunt for the challenge, grow things for a buyer, make supplies for friends, or contribute to a road you want opened.

Specialise and trade. The entire economy is not your personal chore chart.

Depends who you mean to disappoint.

Go hunting. Tend a crop. Make a sale. Help with a shared project. Find company, or keep your own. Your plans can be smaller than the whole world.

Choose around the time you have. Crops have their own timers, and organised events have schedules; check those before making a promise.

The player who earns it.

Free players can pursue hunting and core progression. Patronage provides a homestead and expedition leadership; it is not the ticket that makes a hunter elite.

Build your skills, prepare, and learn the fights. If you want a home as well, that is a different ambition.

Ambition travels light. Pack anyway.

You can make hunting and progression your own pursuit. Solo preparation leans harder on your supplies; a party adds other players’ skills and support.

Choose company for what it brings to the outing. Solo play is not a promise that every encounter is yours to beat alone.

Enough to reward looking up.

There are Easter eggs and unexpected discoveries before the tutorial is over. Pay attention to what is around you as well as what the next instruction asks.

The practical guide will help if you get stuck. It can leave a few pleasures for you to notice yourself.

Your nostalgia needs no references.

No particular old game is required reading. Bring the experiences you have, or discover what you like here for the first time.

Samhan’s affection for earlier worlds is an invitation to adventure again. It does not assign you an age, a generation, or a favourite you ought to have.

Where’s the fun? Fair question.

Pick a Golden Route: hunt for a living, grow what hunters need, turn raw finds into somebody’s next purchase, or help open the next road. Different ambitions keep the same world busy.

Wealth, glory, a little villainy, a story for the Eternal Library. Choose what sounds worth your evening. You needn’t want what the next player wants.

A love letter with other people in it.

Samhan Chronicles is a 2D online role-playing game in a shared pixel world. Explore, battle, gather, craft and trade. Your plans become useful to someone else’s.

We started this in 2021: a love letter to the founding era of the avatar, when learning a world and making a name in it were reasons to log back in. Familiar commands. Connected systems. Your own Golden Route.

This Almanac keeps growing with the questions. Start with the one you came here to ask.

Free to play. Plenty to do.

Hunting, gathering, public crafting, trading, and core progression are free. Patronage adds a homestead and the ability to lead expeditions; everyone in the patron’s group can join those outings.

Your plans. Familiar faces.

Set your own plans. Trade with people whose work helps yours, join a group when you want company, and make a regular out of a stranger.

A hunter can sell a carcass to a player butcher. A farmer can supply the next outing. You do not have to spend every minute together to have something in common.

Different jobs. Same bad decisions.

Yes. A hunter needs supplies. A farmer grows ingredients. A crafter turns materials into something worth taking along. Trade gives those different interests a reason to meet.

On an expedition, one friend may hunt while another gathers. You can share the outing without sharing every ambition.

Bring a patron. Bring your people.

Yes. A patron leads the expedition, and everyone in their group can join. Each guest does not need their own patronage.

The routes toward Haebang open after the community reclaims Rocky Woods. The shared work comes first; the road opens when it is complete.

Find your frequency.

Samhan’s radio offers curated stations with different personalities. Herd It sits on the trading side of the dial; Farmers Market belongs with farming; Jock Box brings the arena and minigame mood.

Tune in while you work or prepare for an outing. Farmers Market is a station name. It will not sell your potatoes.

Bring yourself. Leave room for a regular.

You can begin on your own. Trade, shared projects, community conversations, and group outings give you reasons to cross paths with other players.

In Discord, Looking for Company helps an invitation last longer than one busy chat. Say what you fancy doing; see who fancies it too.

Fancy gear is not a personality.

Yes. Supplies, gathered materials, and shared projects give you ways to contribute while you are still learning. A stronger hunter still uses things other people make.

Start with a need you can meet. Ask what is useful before filling a bag with good intentions.

Give the Library something worth keeping.

The Eternal Library holds accounts of the world and its people, alongside the games, avatars, and friendships players bring with them. New community stories can join that record.

It gives those adventures somewhere to be remembered. It is not an automatic biography of every action you take.

Someone you have not blamed yet.

Hunters, makers, growers, traders, and people discovering which of those they enjoy. Seasong’s local characters help you find your footing; other players give the shared world its own social life.

Come with friends or meet people through trade, projects, and outings. Familiar faces start as unfamiliar ones.

Some adventures have roots.

Yes. Public farmland lets you grow produce without owning a homestead. Each crop has a predictable wait before harvest.

The land is shared, and another player can harvest a mature crop. Know what you planted. Plan when to come back.

The crop has a timer, not a reservation.

On public farmland, another player can harvest your crop once it matures. Planting it does not reserve the harvest for you.

Learn that crop’s timing and plan your return. A homestead has its own access arrangements; public land is everybody’s business.

A place of your own. Room for company.

Patronage gives you a personal homestead and expedition leadership. Work your land, invite guests, and make arrangements with players who enjoy the work you would rather trade for.

Public production keeps the same recipes, costs, yields, and strength. A homestead changes where and how you work; the public stations still make the goods.

Still yours. Door closed for now.

Your homestead remains yours. Access pauses while patronage is inactive and returns when you renew. The shared world remains free to play.

That is the ownership rule. It does not promise that stored consumables stop ageing while you are away.

A very reasonable ambition.

You can invite guests to your homestead and agree on how they use the land. Someone who enjoys farming may welcome an arrangement with someone who would rather be adventuring.

Agree on the work and the harvest before planting. Good fences are useful. Clear expectations are cheaper.

Before somebody else’s dinner.

Each kind of produce has a predictable time to maturity. Learn that crop’s timer and plan your return.

On public farmland, any player can harvest it once it is ready. The timer tells you when to return; it does not reserve the crop.

English has wandered off again.

Picking a mature crop is part of Farming. Harvesting, with the capital H, is the separate trade concerned with creatures and the materials they supply.

One word, two uses. Check whether the task wants a crop or something with a carcass.

A little less warm and sentimental.

Consumable buffs degrade, and cold storage helps preserve their value. Think about how you keep supplies as well as how many you make.

Preservation is not a promise of unlimited shelf life. Buff duration after use is a separate question from deterioration while stored.

Your place. Discuss the potatoes.

You can invite guests and make arrangements for how they use your land. Agree on access, work, and the harvest before anyone starts.

That cooperation is useful whether you love farming or would rather be somewhere with monsters. A friendly arrangement deserves clear terms.

Yes. This answer will be short.

Make hunting your focus. Learn your skills, prepare for the cave, and improve through play. Look up the next useful choice when you need it.

Solo hunters lean more on their supplies. A party brings skills and support to share the load. Start there; the deeper reading will keep.

Pack the picnic. Respect the healer.

Supplies matter, especially when you hunt alone: solids support Vita buffs; liquids support Mana buffs. A party adds skills and support beyond what is in your bag.

Prepare for the outing and the people coming with you. Lunch is useful. It is not a promise that every fight is yours.

Lunch has ambitions of its own.

Consumable buffs degrade. Cold storage helps preserve their value, so preparation includes how you keep supplies as well as what you pack.

Shelf life describes deterioration in storage. Buff duration describes how long an effect lasts after use. They are different clocks.

Four Paths. No correct answer.

Warrior, Rogue, Mystic, and Sage are four fighting disciplines with equal standing and distinct contributions. Your Path shapes how you act and equip yourself; a trade gives you other work alongside it.

On Pebble Path, the idea becomes practical: clear the obstruction, find the opening, strike what must fall, or keep the work alive. Different methods can improve the same road.

Fresh install. Then the longboat.

Download the current client for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Install it, let it patch, then log in or create an account. Make a character. Come aboard.

Returning from an alpha or playtest? Uninstall the old game and use a fresh download. The client login screen shows the realm’s current availability.

Bring it. It rarely gets enough outings.

Notice what something is made of, what it needs, and what changes when you use it. Practical connections give you somewhere to begin with unfamiliar tasks and materials.

Learn the realm’s rules as you go. A sensible idea is a useful lead, not a universal way to bypass a fight.

A disagreement between your parts.

Defenders reconnect their corporeal and elemental selves and continue the journey. Falling is part of what you learn along the Golden Route.

Check the current in-game instructions for the recovery step and any costs. Continuing the adventure does not mean the mistake has no consequences.

Occasionally. A terrible habit.

Common Nonsense is local knowledge with questionable delivery: short advice about playing and finding your feet. Wisdom carries official announcements, including event starts and cancellations.

Enjoy the advice. Check the dated notice before turning up for a competition.

Field Guide now. Library when it rains.

Field Guides help with a particular route or task: the names, requirements, and next unfinished step. The Eternal Library gives the fuller accounts and stories.

Use the amount of reading your question deserves. A stuck quest does not require a tour of the entire history department.

Use a door, not a megaphone.

Use a My Account ticket for private account, safety, or conduct concerns. For a safety or conduct report, use the subject “Confidential - Safety/Conduct”.

Ordinary gameplay questions belong in Player Help. In-game defects can be reported and tracked through Help in the client.

News ages. Read the date.

Patch notes explain a build and its changes. Known Issues carries published problems and workarounds. Neither is a live measurement of the realm.

Check the client login screen for current availability, then use the dated information that applies to your problem.

Both have their uses. One complains less.

Solids support Vita buffs; liquids support Mana buffs. Friends bring their own skills and support to the outing.

Prepare for what you are doing and who is coming. Supplies and company complement each other; neither guarantees that you can ignore the encounter.

You brought dinner. And somebody’s next project.

A carcass can keep working after the hunt is over. Bring it to Brier at the Seasong butcher shop, or trade it to a player who practises Harvesting.

Processing produces useful stock for other work. Different creatures provide different outputs; a carcass is an opportunity, not a guaranteed price.

Same offal. Different ambitions.

One ingredient can have more than one future. Cooking prepares Offal as Pluck; Elemancy prepares it as Viscera. Different specialists have a reason to want what you brought home.

Choose the use, or trade the ingredient to someone who already has one in mind. Once it is used, it is used.

The next outing is hungry.

Players keep using supplies, learning skills, completing quests, and contributing to shared projects. Those activities draw materials back through the trades.

Consumables create repeat demand. Upgrading and recycling give equipment further uses. Getting a sword is not the end of needing things.

Because the bag does not pack itself.

A longer hunt needs supplies. Farming feeds preparation; Cooking and Elemancy turn ingredients into useful consumables. Solids support Vita buffs, and liquids support Mana buffs.

The hunter brings back materials. The people in town help turn them into the next outing. Everybody has a reason to want someone else doing well.

That is what other people are for. Among other things.

No. Specialise in work you enjoy, then trade with people whose skills fill the gaps. Harvesting, Forestry, and Mining supply different inputs; processing and preparation connect them to the things players need.

A trade is something you can offer. It does not have to become your entire to-do list.

Somebody has to make the useful bit.

Crafting connects raw materials to equipment, supplies, and other players’ plans. Its value comes from what the result helps somebody do.

Public stations retain equal recipes, costs, yields, and output strength. You do not need a private workshop to make something worth having.

Take it to the Marketplace.

Use the community Marketplace for listings: goods, materials, crafting, gathering help, and permitted services. Players set their own prices and keep their listings current.

Staff moderation is not a guarantee of delivery. Agree on what changes hands before anything does.

Try being useful on purpose.

Look for a need you can supply: carcasses, gathered stock, prepared supplies, or work another player would rather buy. Check what people want and what your inputs cost.

Specialisation and repeat demand create opportunities. They do not guarantee a fortune, a buyer, or a deadline.

A useful question before the useful bit.

Compare the input with what processing makes and what it costs. A buyer may need raw stock; another may need the resource or commodity further along the chain.

Choose between your own use and a likely buyer’s. More processing is a different product, not an automatic profit.

Old gear. New argument.

Check the particular item before deciding. Eligible equipment can yield useful materials through recycling; other pieces may still be worth using, upgrading, or trading.

Compare what you recover with what you give up. Not every old item follows the same route.

Knowledge has a shopping list.

Particular abilities require material tribute. Check the lesson’s actual requirements before selling the stock you brought back.

Some materials also serve crafting or public construction. Choosing what to learn can make you a customer of the same trades that help build the town.

It has excellent connections.

Forestry supplies timber and related materials for processing, making things, and construction. Selling or using that stock connects a quiet outing to somebody else’s plans.

Gathering can also build experience. The next useful contribution need not have teeth.

Eventually, someone wants the rock.

Mining supplies mineral inputs that other work turns into useful materials. Equipment, ability tribute, and shared construction give those inputs places to go.

Learn the material and the use. A full bag is more interesting when you know who needs it.

Some hunters bring home the good bits.

Specialist bowhunters obtain choice cuts and preserved pelts. Harvesting develops the usefulness of the hunt beyond the fight itself.

Those pelts can be tanned into leather. The creature you brought down can become someone else’s material supply.

A change of coat.

Preserved pelts can be tanned into leather. They connect specialist hunting to the materials other makers use.

Keep the actual pelt and process in mind: different creatures provide different stock. A carcass is not a bag containing every possible material.

Only if you want the recipe.

Cooking turns ingredients into useful food. For one very literal example, Offal becomes Pluck. The hunter’s leftovers have found a more ambitious evening.

Solids support Vita buffs. Preparing food can make you useful to people who would prefer to stay out hunting.

Dinner took another Path.

Elemancy gives ingredients uses in preparations and consumables. Offal becomes Viscera here, while Cooking turns that same starting ingredient into Pluck.

One material can interest different specialists. Choose the preparation you need, or trade the ingredient to someone who knows exactly why they want it.

Someone has to notice the scenery’s resale value.

The expedition regions offer gathering tiers 1–6, alongside hunting and individual cull progress. A hunter, a gatherer, and a friend building their character can want different things from the same trip.

One patron leads; the group can join. The outing need not have one ambition.

Sometimes from winning an argument with weapons.

Rocky Woods supplies gathering tiers 1–3. Expedition regions extend the range to tiers 1–6 after their routes open through reclamation.

Carnage prizes are another material source. Check the current prize shop and event notice; a future route is not a promise that it is open today.

The next chapter takes materials.

Bring something the community needs. Path Hall Restoration collects building and crafting materials; the surplus repairs the bridge. The homestead address event follows that work.

Reclaiming Rocky Woods is a separate shared effort that opens the expedition routes. Each door depends on its community work being completed.

More reasons to pack a bag.

After Rocky Woods is reclaimed, three expedition routes open toward Haebang. A patron leads; their whole group can join.

Expeditions bring different environments, changing populations, wider gathering opportunities, and possible sentry encounters. A hunter and a gatherer can want the same trip for entirely different reasons.

Some things deserve more than a screenshot folder.

The Eternal Library remembers the games we loved, the avatars we inhabited, the people we knew, and the selves we brought with us. New stories join that record as the community makes them.

Full accounts live in the Library. The Board carries a useful piece back into play; Field Guides help when the exact next step has gone missing.

Curiosity can leave a record.

Samhan’s in-game Discovery Registry records registered discoveries. First-discovery credit and a later Best-Known record are different achievements. An ordinary drop is not automatically a registered discovery.

The record remembers what was discovered. It does not guarantee that the item is still obtainable today.

Wear the story.

Characters can earn interface colours and keep rewards from events they took part in. Some rewards retire and become reminders of a particular moment.

A keepsake can say “I was there” without saying “my number is bigger.” The story is part of what makes it yours.

Civic pride. Surprisingly good frontage.

Path Hall Restoration gathers building and crafting materials. Its surplus repairs the bridge; the homestead event that follows lets homesteaders choose physical addresses.

That is the sequence the community works toward. It does not mean every stage has already happened.

A bridge is a very large group project.

The surplus from Path Hall Restoration goes toward repairing the bridge. Materials with personal uses, including spell tribute, can also help create a shared result.

Follow the current project’s requirements. A contribution is useful because the project needs it, not simply because your bag is full.

Start with the woods. See what opens.

Rocky Woods has a shared reclamation cull. Defenders’ contributions build toward the community target; completing it opens three routes toward Haebang.

That is separate from the Path Hall and bridge work. Different efforts open different doors.

Same invitation. Fresh company.

An expedition takes your group into an environment of its own. The regions have distinct landscapes, and their populations can change between visits.

Bring a patron to lead and a group with its own reasons to go. Variation adds possibilities; it does not guarantee a new encounter every time.

Sometimes the occasion is the value.

Some event rewards retire and become keepsakes of a particular moment. Keeping one can say something about your character’s history, even after other equipment takes over the useful job.

It is a memory you can carry. You do not need to collect every past occasion to begin your own.

A little colour you earned.

Characters can earn colours for their interface. It is another way the character you play can carry evidence of what you have done.

The particular reward tells you how it is earned. Colour is part of the keepsake story; this page does not invent an unlock checklist.

First and best tell different stories.

First-discovery credit and later Best-Known records are distinct. A later record is not the same claim as being the first credited discoverer.

Read the kind of record being shown. A stronger or later find should not be mistaken for the original discovery.

The record keeps the name.

The game’s Discovery Registry holds the authoritative discovery record. Public first-discovery credit belongs to the discoverer named there.

Finding an ordinary drop does not automatically register a discovery. The website only displays approved public records; it does not award the credit or a reward.

Good sport. Useful spoils.

Carnages and minigames give players a reason to compete, with material prizes that can feed the next craft, spell tribute, or shared project.

Read the event’s entry rules and timing in Wisdom. Then see what your friends are made of.

Read the date before you pack.

Wisdom carries official announcements: schedules, openings, starts, cancellations, and live calls. Follow the action and date in the notice.

Common Nonsense is the advice with questionable delivery. It can help you find your feet; it is not an event schedule.

An interruption with benefits.

Expedition sentries are possible encounters with substantial experience and material rewards. They can give the group another reason to pay attention during an outing.

Possible is the useful word. Do not build the whole trip around a guaranteed appearance.

Occasionally, trouble comes outside.

Global bosses can appear outside the hunting caves shrouded by Cloakwork. Those shared-world encounters are a reason to gather people; expedition sentries are a separate possible encounter on a group outing.

Watch official announcements for a current call. This page does not predict a spawn.

A soundtrack for questionable judgement.

Tune into Samhan’s curated radio while you head out hunting. Quest Coast is the questing side of the dial; other stations offer their own personalities.

Pick a mood for the outing. The music accompanies the hunt; it does not do the paying attention for you.

Work with better background noise.

Radio accompanies the making, trading, and preparation between outings. Herd It has a trade association; Farmers Market brings the farming side of the dial.

Choose a station while you work. A change of soundtrack does not need to become a change of plans.

Change the tune. Then the plan.

Samhan’s curated radio gives a familiar task a different soundtrack. When you want a proper break, Carnages and minigames give you another reason to gather.

Material prizes can feed your next project. Take the detour; it may turn out to be useful.

Find your frequency. Blame the company.

Herd It leans toward trade; Farmers Market toward farming; Jock Box toward arenas and minigames. Quest Coast takes the questing side, Garden includes Racket and Quintune, and QBC Now carries ambient programming and shorts.

They are curated choices with different personalities. Pick the company your afternoon deserves.

Useful spoils. Dubious manners.

Carnages and minigames offer material prizes. Those supplies can feed a craft, spell tribute, or a community contribution.

Check the actual event rules and prize shop before planning a purchase. Winning something useful is a connection between activities, not a fixed payout promised by this page.

In the bag is not in the hand.

Check whether the task needs the tool equipped. Carrying it and assigning it a hotkey are different from having it ready for use.

Then check the exact item and quest step. Similar names can hide different jobs. If it still fails, bring those names and what happened to Player Help.

Start where the trail actually stopped.

Check your quest log and the last step you completed. Keep the exact quest and item names handy, then use the matching Field Guide to find the next requirement.

A missing old item is not, by itself, a reason to restart. If the guide and your client disagree, bring that difference to Player Help instead of trying to force the instructions through.

Being stuck is a place. Start here.

Ask Player Help about quests, downloads, or patcher trouble. Include the exact message, what you tried, and where you stopped.

Use Help inside the client to report and track an in-game bug. Keep private account, safety, or conduct matters in a My Account ticket.

Read what changed. Then get back to it.

Development Chronicle carries build notes, patch notes, and the reasons behind changes. Known Issues is the place for published problems and workarounds.

For current realm availability, check the client login screen. A dated article is not an uptime indicator.

Your account. Your delicate ears.

Yes. Samhan’s swear filter is set per account and affects incoming and outgoing chat. With filtering enabled, incoming profanity is sanitised; detected profane outgoing messages are not sent.

A pointed question is welcome here. It needn’t arrive wearing a swear word.
