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, shared 2D pixel world built for immersive live action storytelling. 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 shared 2D pixel world built for immersive live action storytelling. 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.

Yuri helps you find your footing at Sea U. Wallace, RyLee, Moira and Solomon steward the four Paths. Carver, Chip and Cole teach the three gathering trades.

Terra, Grilligan and Felixir connect growing with preparation. Piers and Paige connect recovery with further uses; Brier, Forrest and the other specialists bring their own work and stories.

Meet the locals by name below, then follow the lesson, service or quest that brings you to them.

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.

Use Cold Storage to pause the remaining freshness of eligible perishable food. Withdrawal resumes that remaining time.

Keep freshness, active buff duration and equipment durability separate. Main Bank and the patron account bank have different jobs from Cold Storage.

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.

Perishable food has a freshness clock. Check the item’s details rather than assuming every potion, drink, smokeable or ingredient expires.

Shelf life concerns the unused item. Buff duration concerns the effect after you use it. Cold Storage pauses the freshness remaining on eligible food; it does not reset it.

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.

If you are returning from an older alpha or playtest, follow the current installation guidance for that version. For an interrupted update, bring the exact error to Player Help. 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.

Eddy Torial runs the Gazette, where you can check item discovery information.

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 undertaking. Follow the current contribution requirements and completion notice; the work leads toward expedition routes beyond the familiar woods.

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.

Open Menu → Settings → Interface → Display and use UI Color to choose an interface colour available to your character.

Earned colours can carry a memory of what you have done. Read the particular reward or quest for its earning requirement.

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.

One panel. Three useful views.

The upper panel on the right has three tabs along its left edge: Stats, Inventory and Group. Only one of those views is shown at a time.

1. Press I for Inventory, S for Stats or G for Group with the default bindings.
2. You can also click the matching tab. The bottom-right menu row has Character and Inventory buttons; Group is reached through its tab or key.

These are default desktop controls. If you changed a binding, use the key shown in Settings.

They share a room.

Inventory and Group occupy the same tabbed panel. Opening one replaces the other view; it does not remove you from the group. Your selected target can remain selected after you change tabs.

1. Use G to return to the group view.
2. Check the target frame or world reticle before using a targeted ability.

There is more to you than the first page.

From another tab, S opens your own Stats at the first page. While already viewing your own Stats, repeated presses cycle through its four pages. The on-panel arrows move between pages and stop at the ends.

Admiration can linger.

Inspecting another character changes the Stats view. Clicking the Stats tab again can keep that person on screen.

1. Press S to request your own stats again, or click the Character button in the bottom-right menu row.
2. Use right-click → Inspect when you deliberately want to view another character.

Put the useful key under your own finger.

Open Menu → Settings and choose the relevant category under Key Bindings.

1. Click the current binding beside the action.
2. Press the replacement key, with any modifier you want.
3. Press Escape instead to cancel the change.

Reusing a combination clears it from the action that previously used it. It does not swap the two actions. Check the displaced action afterward.

Check where the typing will go.

Chat and other text fields take keyboard input while focused. Some dialogs and targeting modes also take priority over normal controls.

1. If you are still typing in a field, finish or cancel it. Escape clears text focus.
2. Close the dialog or finish/cancel the targeting action that is taking input.
3. Check your assigned key in Settings if the action still does not respond.

A small map for your hands.

Arrow keys move; Space attacks or swings. I opens Inventory, S opens Stats, G opens Group, Q opens the Quest Log, B opens the Board, M opens the map, and F9 opens Help. The spellbook is opened with the book button in the bottom-right menu row.

These are default bindings. The map can take input while it is open.

The bag is taller than its window.

The inventory has five columns. Only about six rows fit in the visible window; lower rows are reached by scrolling.

1. Open Inventory with I.
2. Put the pointer over the inventory grid and use the wheel, or move its vertical scrollbar.
3. Scroll the item fully into view before trying to select it.

A padlock is not empty space.

The client draws 66 inventory cells, but your usable capacity starts at 16. You earn five more slots at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 99, reaching 66.

A level-locked cell is different from an individually locked item. Scrolling exposes cells; it does not unlock them.

Read the corner before counting the haul.

Stack quantities appear at the bottom-right when there is more than one item. Some reusable consumables show remaining uses in brackets. Hover the item to read its details; quality and other marks do not replace the tooltip.

Quantity, remaining uses, durability and remaining freshness describe different things.

Bring it within reach.

You can assign an item without moving it out of your bag.

1. Open Inventory and scroll to the item.
2. Left-click the item to carry its icon.
3. Left-click the action-bar slot you want to use.
4. Wait for the item to appear in that slot. Activate the shortcut separately when you want to use it.

An occupied destination is replaced. Right-click or press Escape to cancel a carried icon. Assigning equipment does not equip it.

The shortcut is not the hand.

No. A shortcut gives you a way to activate the item. Equipment still needs to be equipped before its function is available.

1. Assign the correct tool to a slot.
2. Activate that shortcut to equip it, where the item supports that action.
3. Check your equipped item before using the tool’s work action.

The Harvest Toolkit has its own seed-selection action when equipped. That is not a rule for every item.

Put the thought down.

While using click-to-carry, right-click or press Escape to cancel. Switching tabs or closing the spellbook can leave the carried icon attached.

Dragging a shortcut out of the action bar removes the binding. Dropping an inventory item into the world can drop the actual item.

A shortcut keeps its supplies elsewhere.

No. A consumable shortcut refers to that item type and can display an aggregate count across copies in your inventory. The supplies remain in your bag until used.

Equipment shortcuts refer to a particular item instance. A bar count need not be the size of the one stack you clicked.

The book is the third button.

Click the book icon, third in the menu row near the bottom-right. It opens over the world while the right panel and action bars remain available.

1. Use the exit button, the book button again, or Escape to close it.
2. Use your action bar to cast after assigning a spell.

Check the shelf you opened.

The book lists known spells. A selected bookmark filters that list, and page arrows move through longer lists.

1. Check the category and any child bookmark.
2. Turn the page when a page arrow is available.
3. Close and reopen the book to return to all known spells on the first page.

Unknown spells are absent. Check the filter and page before deciding an ability is missing.

Learn it. Place it. Use it.

The spellbook assigns shortcuts; it does not cast spells directly.

1. Open the book and find a known spell.
2. Left-click its icon, then left-click an action-bar slot.
3. Wait for the assigned icon to appear.
4. Close the book if you want a clearer view, then click the bound slot or press its assigned key.

An occupied destination is replaced. Confirm the new icon appears in its slot.

The source of the move matters.

An item from Inventory or a spell from the book replaces the shortcut in the destination slot. The old shortcut is not relocated. Dragging one action-bar shortcut onto another action-bar shortcut swaps those two bindings.

Replacing or removing a shortcut does not delete the learned spell or underlying item.

Move the shortcut, keep the skill.

Drag an existing action-bar shortcut onto an empty bar slot to move it, or onto an occupied bar slot to swap them. Drag it outside valid bar slots to remove its binding.

This applies to dragging from the action bar. Dropping an inventory item into the world has a different consequence.

Twelve at a time. Room to arrange more.

The default layout shows four bars of twelve slots. Their default key rows are 1–0, minus, equals; Shift with those keys; Ctrl with those keys; and Ctrl+Shift with those keys. Settings supports eight ordinary bars, up to 96 slots.

1. Open Menu → Settings → Interface → Action Bars to choose enabled bars, slot counts and row layouts.
2. Assign keys for additional bars under Key Bindings if you want to activate them from the keyboard.

The additional four bars have no default keys. Read the labels on your own configured bars.

Start with the person. Then the panel.

Right-click the character and choose Invite when that option is offered. Once grouped, open the Group tab with G to see the roster.

Invite sends a request. The other player must be eligible and accept before you are grouped.

A roster with a pulse.

Each member’s frame can show their portrait, name, level, Vita, Mana and status effects. The leader appears first. Scroll to reach the rest of the roster; a group holds up to eight members.

A roster entry does not establish that the member is nearby. Check the world reticle or target frame to confirm selection.

Choose the person. Use the right spell.

For a targetable supportive spell, select an eligible nearby groupmate before activating its shortcut.

1. Open Group with G and left-click the member’s frame.
2. Check that the intended person appears in your target frame or has the world reticle.
3. Activate the supportive spell from your action bar.
4. Check the resulting effect or combat feedback.

Selecting someone and being in spell range are different checks. Mana, range, cooldown and the spell’s own rules still apply.

Some help starts at home.

Lay Hands is self-targeted. Selecting a groupmate does not redirect it. Recover and Harden Armor are examples of supportive spells that can target an eligible character.

Read the spell description for its cost, range and effect. A self-targeted spell stays on you.

The roster can reach farther than your hand.

Group membership and nearby selectable characters are different checks. If a member is outside the client’s nearby-character range, clicking their frame can do nothing.

1. Move close enough for the person to be present in the nearby world.
2. Select again and confirm the target frame or reticle.
3. Then check the range of the spell you intend to use.

Keep the person in mind.

Yes. Switching Stats, Inventory and Group tabs does not clear the selected target. Opening the spellbook also preserves it.

Check that the selected target is still the one you intend to affect.

The next choice is who.

Activating a targetable spell without a selected target enters target selection. Choose the intended target and confirm with Enter; Escape cancels.

Self-targeted spells act on you. The target-selection procedure applies to targetable spells.

Start with what is unfinished.

Press Q, then select the quest in the Quest Log. Read the details and the sections shown for that quest: objectives, deliverables, required kills, required items and rewards.

1. Compare exact item names and current counts.
2. Use the Track button to put that quest into the on-screen tracker.
3. Follow the named return point or handoff when the requirements are met.

Deliverables are items you will not be able to keep. A similar-looking item is not automatically the requested one.

Not every errand can be delegated.

Share appears for quests marked shareable. It is enabled when you are grouped with at least one other player.

Sharing sends an offer. It does not establish that everyone meets the prerequisites, accepts it, or receives your completed progress.

Read the record before tearing out the page.

The Abandon button is only enabled for quests that permit it. Abandoning is a separate action, not the ordinary way to refresh your view.

1. Check the current objective, exact item stage and any later proof of progress first.
2. If the guide and your game disagree, report the quest name, last confirmed step and what changed.

The Abandon button can send the request directly. Do not count on another confirmation dialog.

Give us the route to the problem.

Use Help in the client, opened by F9 with default bindings or through Menu → Help. Include what you did, what you expected, what happened, the location and the client version.

If a download or patch problem prevents the client from opening, use Player Help on the website. Private account or conduct matters belong in a private ticket.

Local knowledge can take a break.

Open Menu → Settings → Interface → Chat and clear Global Wisdom to stop the general advice messages.

Global Wisdom controls the general advice messages. Official Sage announcements are a separate channel. Pausing website advice does not change this game setting.

Your eyes live here too.

Open Menu → Settings → Interface → Chat. Choose font size, opacity, Fade Out and whether new whispers open docked.

The account swear filter is a separate setting.

Wear the colour around the adventure.

Open Menu → Settings → Interface → Display and use UI Color. Choose from the options your character is allowed to use.

The reward or quest explains how a colour is earned. The selector shows the choices available to you.

The dial is under your pointer.

Move the pointer over the music strip near the bottom-right and use the mouse wheel to cycle its source tuner. The source label can also reveal the tuner. Sources include map-themed music, named stations and live playback.

A live broadcast needs an available stream. Map music, curated stations and live playback are different sources.

Keep the birds. Change the band.

The music strip has separate Music and Ambient sliders. Menu → Settings → System → Sound provides the wider sound controls.

Previous and next controls do not give you control of a live broadcaster.

Ask for what is on air.

Open Menu → Community Radio to request the current stream list. Use the music strip to see whether you are hearing map music, a station or live playback.

Look for the result.

An icon can move locally before the game accepts the action. After assigning a shortcut, look for its confirmed slot. After using one, check the relevant effect, cooldown, inventory change or combat message.

Check feedback appropriate to the action. A cooldown alone does not prove that your intended target received the effect.

First choose the seed. Then the soil.

With a Harvest Toolkit that offers seed selection, equip the tool, choose the crop, then swing at an empty prepared plot.

1. Put the Harvest Toolkit on an action-bar slot.
2. Activate it to equip it. Activate the same slot again while equipped to open seed selection.
3. Choose a crop and check the required seed quantity against what you have.
4. Close the menu, face an empty prepared planting plot and swing. Space is the default swing key.

Use an empty prepared planting plot and the seed quantity shown for your crop. Decorative soil is not necessarily plantable.

Know its clock before you leave.

Use the current Crop Almanac for that crop’s real-world maturation time, seed requirement and yield range. Public planting does not reserve the mature crop for its planter.

Check the clock named by the crop information. A yield range does not guarantee the maximum harvest.

Same verb. Different work.

Farming grows and gathers crops. Harvesting is the gathering profession concerned with creatures and their materials. Butchery is processing within Harvesting.

One ingredient. A choice of careers.

Cooking prepares one Offal into one Pluck at a Cooking Fire. Elemancy prepares one Offal into one Viscera at an Elemancy Altar.

These are separate preparations. One Offal does not produce both outputs in a single action. Check the recipe’s training and station requirements.

Quite often. They can also feed each other.

Some inputs have different preparations, as Offal does. Grounded Ginseng connects the two crafts: its Cooking and Elemancy recipes both require Cultured Algaehol and Sour Mash among their ingredients.

Cultured Algaehol and Sour Mash are required together, not as either/or substitutes. Consult the recipe for the complete ingredient list.

Working the source and processing the haul are separate jobs.

Processing changes materials into another useful stage. Gathering skill, craft skill and character experience are separate measures: read the process’s requirements and rewards instead of assuming every production action trains gathering.

Read the whole name.

A raw lot, a building material, a resource and a commodity can represent different stages with different uses. Compare the exact requested material and quantity with the item in your inventory.

1. Check the required training and station as well as ingredients.
2. Supply every required ingredient row.
3. Treat a substitute as valid only when that particular process accepts it.

A matching material stage still needs the exact item named by the recipe.

Before you sell it, see who needs it.

A material may feed a recipe, an ability lesson, a quest or a civic project. Follow its material reference, then compare the exact item, quantity and conditions at the destination you choose.

Decide which part of the work you want.

Compare selling the intact carcass with processing it through the supported Harvesting route. Its outputs depend on the particular carcass; an output family is not a promise that every creature yields everything in that family.

A creature’s possible output family is not a guarantee that it drops every member of that family.

Check the return before giving up the item.

Compare keeping, selling, upgrading and recycling. Piers is the equipment-recovery contact. Read the current offer for the item’s eligibility and returned materials before committing it.

Paige has a use for that.

Paige connects discarded paper with paper recovery; Piers handles equipment. Ask Paige about the paper inputs accepted by her current service, then check Percival’s buying offer for the output.

The item sets the clock.

Perishable food has a freshness clock. Do not assume that all drinks, potions, smokeables or extracted ingredients share it. An active effect’s duration is a separate timer after use.

Freshness, effect duration and equipment durability are separate measures.

It pauses the food’s remaining time.

Cold Storage pauses the freshness remaining on an eligible perishable item. Withdrawal restarts that remaining time; it does not make old food newly made.

Cold Storage deposits require patron eligibility. Use the service’s current access rules; it is separate from Main Bank and account banking.

A mixed stack keeps the earlier appointment.

When compatible stacks combine in Cold Storage, they keep the earlier remaining freshness. Adding fresher food does not reset the old food’s clock.

This describes compatible stacks combined in Cold Storage. Check other containers separately.

Same account. Another pair of hands.

Use the patron account bank through its in-game NPC.

1. Deposit the items with the account-bank NPC.
2. Change to another character on the same patron account.
3. Return to the same NPC and withdraw the items.

Transfers stay within one patron account. Main Bank, account bank, Cold Storage and carried inventory serve different purposes.

A place for the life you build.

The established free-to-win design leaves hunting, gathering, public crafting, trading and core progression open without patronage. Patronage adds a homestead and expedition leadership; other group members do not each need patronage for a patron-led expedition.

Each service or route still has its own opening and access conditions.

Different work opens different doors.

Path Hall restoration leads into the bridge work and later homestead address event. Rocky Woods reclamation is a separate undertaking toward expedition access. Follow each project’s current contribution requirements and completion notice.

A fighting discipline can have a day job.

Warrior, Rogue, Mystic and Sage are combat Paths. Harvesting, Forestry and Mining supply materials; Construction, Cooking, Elemancy and Farming connect those materials to further work. Choosing a Path does not make another trade a fifth combat class.

Path choice and trade training are separate. Consult each trainer for the disciplines and lessons you can learn.

Start with the job you are trying to do.

For Path training: Wallace teaches Warrior, RyLee Rogue, Moira Mystic and Solomon Sage. For the three gathering trades: Carver is Harvesting, Chip Forestry and Cole Mining. Terra’s remit is Farming; Grilligan’s is Cooking; Felixir’s is Elemancy.

The same name can appear in the tutorial and later in town. The menu at that appearance tells you which service is offered.

Similar titles. Different appointments.

Pathtenders assist the Path institutions: Xena for Warrior, Parry for Rogue, Seymour for Mystic and Sophy for Sage. Pathwardens are cave guards. Wallace, RyLee, Moira and Solomon are the four Path stewards.

Find your place before starting over.

Open your Quest Log, inspect the exact item stage you now have, and use the matching Field Guide. A later quest object, learned ability, Legend Mark or earned access may be evidence of progress even if an earlier item is gone.

Use the quest’s own recovery instructions. If your game and guide disagree, bring the exact names and last confirmed step to Player Help.

Eight turns can fit inside one day of yours.

At the normal pace, one world minute takes 7.5 real seconds. A world day, or turn, takes three real hours: eight turns make one real-day Rising.

Crop information and event notices must name their clock. Use the notice’s real date and timezone for appointments.

Read the dated invitation.

Common Nonsense gives general help. The Wisdom feed carries official broadcasts such as openings, starts and cancellations. Follow the current announcement’s date, time, timezone and requirements.

Enjoy the performance. Check the procedure.

The commercials introduce the people, mood and connections of the world. Use the almanac and current in-game instructions for exact controls, spell behavior, prerequisites and services.

Begin with the planting lesson; ask Farnham about homestead life.

Cook and Cooking teacher

Grilligan is the ship’s Galley Chief and the familiar name behind Cooking instruction. His preparations complement Felixir’s Elemancy.

Read the recipe and station requirements. A tutorial appearance and a mainland trainer can offer different menus.

Alchemist and Elemancy teacher

Felixir is the alchemist and Elemancy teacher. Ingredients can have another life at the altar, and the craft connects closely with Cooking.

Compare the exact formula with the ingredient’s other uses. The tutorial alchemist and later trainer can offer different menus.

Equipment recovery

Piers is a former sailor, Paige’s uncle and the equipment-recovery contact. His work gives used equipment a possible material future.

Compare the current recycling offer with keeping, selling or upgrading. His tutorial shop and later recovery service have different menus.

Paper and substrate recovery

Paige, Piers’s niece, handles paper recovery. Her work gives discarded paper a further use.

Check her current accepted inputs and output, then Percival’s buying offer. Equipment recovery belongs with Piers.

Butcher and leatherwork contact

Brier is Seasong’s butcher and a contact in Chasing Waterfalls. He connects the hunt with useful ingredients and appreciates the value of growing your own supplies.

Check your current carcass or glove-quest requirement. Carver teaches Harvesting; Terra teaches Farming.

Fishing teacher and glove-quest contact

Forrest is the fishing teacher and a Chasing Waterfalls contact. She is curious about what cooks and elemancers can make from a useful catch.

Follow the current fishing lesson or exact glove-quest requirement. Those are different tasks.

Homestead Manager

Farnham is the Homestead Manager. She explains patronage, homestead life and the civic work that supports it. Homer is the helper associated with an individual home.

Ask about the current homestead arrangement. Same-account inventory transfers use the in-game account-bank service.

Per-home Homestead Steward

Homer is the Homestead Steward associated with an individual home. Farnham’s broader management and information role is separate.

Use your home’s service menu for the functions it currently offers.

Postmaster and Hard Hat Clause contact

Percival is the Postmaster and a contact in Hard Hat Clause. Postal, civic and buying business can bring you to the same person for different reasons.

Follow the current quest stage or shop offer; a quest handoff and a sale are different transactions.

Borough Clerk

Clark is the Borough Clerk, a civic contact rather than a Path trainer.

Use the named civic handoff in your quest or the current clerk menu.

Dialmaster at the Lost & Foundry

Declan’s compass work distinguishes making the travel item, earning attunement and choosing a home destination.

Check the compass’s state and remaining uses, then the matching Field Guide.

Granite Quarry elevator attendant

Quade is one of the two quarry attendants associated with Relic Racket. A paid ride and a permanent arrangement are different benefits.

Ask this attendant for the current fare or relic requirement.

Granite Quarry elevator attendant

Quillian is one of the Granite Quarry elevator attendants, alongside Quade.

Check Quillian’s own request. An arrangement with Quade does not establish an arrangement with Quillian.

Jeweler

Jacelyn is Seasong’s jeweler and a contact in the glove-preparation route of Chasing Waterfalls.

Check which glove stage the quest requests before visiting the next specialist.

Chemist and catalysis contact

Cyprian handles the early catalysis and Cloakwork Shroud route. Exact garment and ingredient names identify different stages of the work.

Check the guard’s current access or task requirements.

Gazette proprietor and item-discovery contact

Eddy Torial runs the Gazette, where players check item discovery information.

Visit the Gazette to see what has been discovered. First-discovery credit and a later Best-Known record are different achievements; a recorded item is not a promise of current shop stock.

Mythical guardian and riddle encounter

Grant Ottertunity is a mythical guardian you may happen upon, rather like meeting a fairy. He offers a riddle: answer correctly to earn his protection in the form of an otter gomp hood.

Listen to the encounter and solve the riddle. The surprise is part of the meeting.
