Game Systems of Aetheria

Every mechanic that brings the world to life — from the clash of steel to the whisper of spells, from guild halls to the open sea.

Combat & Progression

⚔

Combat

Real-time combat with 8 damage types — physical, fire, energy, earth, ice, holy, death, and heal. Melee swings, ranged attacks, spell casts, and condition damage (poison, fire, bleed) all flow through the same engine. Critical hits, dodges, and block animations bring every fight to life.

1822 monsters 8 damage types criticals & dodges
⚔ Combat System
Damage Types
Physical — swords, clubs, axes Fire — fireballs, fields, bombs Energy — lightning, beams Earth — poison, acid, swarm Ice — frost bolts, avalanches Holy — divine strikes, undead bane Death — necrotic, soul drain Heal — restoration, regeneration
Core Mechanics
  • Critical Hits — chance-based bonus damage (2x multiplier), boosted by weapon proficiency perks
  • Dodging — attackers can miss entirely; higher distance skill = higher dodge chance
  • Blocking — shields absorb damage; block chance scales with shield skill
  • Conditions — persistent effects: poison (earth DoT), fire (DoT), bleed (physical DoT), haste (speed buff), mana shield (damage to mana)
  • Armor Mitigation — flat damage reduction from armor pieces; elemental resistances cap at 100%
  • PvP Skull System — white skulls for aggression, red for murder, banshee for excessive killing
Pro Tip
Stack elemental resistances against bosses. A fire dragon lord hits for 800+ fire damage — 50% fire resistance cuts that to 400.
✶

Spells & Runes

236 spells across six schools of magic. Conjure runes, hurl fireballs, heal allies, and summon fields of poison. Each spell has a level requirement, mana cost, cooldown, and vocation restriction. Rune spells are charged items usable by any class.

attack: 69 conjuring: 50 support: 39 rune: 36 healing: 28 familiar: 5 party: 5 house: 4
✶ Spells & Runes
Spell Categories
attack — 69 spells conjuring — 50 spells support — 39 spells rune — 36 spells healing — 28 spells familiar — 5 spells party — 5 spells house — 4 spells
Vocation Restrictions
  • Knight — melee buffs, healing, light attack spells
  • Paladin — holy strikes, distance buffs, divine healing
  • Sorcerer — offensive fire/energy/earth/death magic, runes
  • Druid — ice/earth magic, healing, summoning, runes
  • All vocations — can use rune items (charged consumables)
Rune System
Conjure spells create rune items (e.g. Heavy Magic Missile Rune). Runes store charges — cast them from your inventory without mana cost. Higher magic level = more charges per conjure.
Spell Properties
  • Mana cost — consumed on cast; regenerates over time
  • Cooldown — global + per-spell cooldowns prevent spam
  • Soul points — conjure spells consume soul; regenerates slowly
  • Area patterns — 48 area patterns (beam, wave, burst, wall)
⚒

Weapon Proficiency

Master 7 weapon types — sword, club, axe, distance, wand, fist, and shield. Every swing earns proficiency XP. Spend perk points on 5 perk trees: Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Skill Mastery, Perfect Shot, and Bestiary Damage.

7 weapon types 5 perk trees XP-based leveling
⚒ Weapon Proficiency
Weapon Types
Sword — balanced speed/damage Club — high damage, slow swing Axe — critical-focused Distance — ranged bows/crossbows Wand — magic damage for mages Fist — unarmed combat Shield — blocking & defense
Perk Trees (5)
  • Critical Chance — +1% crit per rank, up to +10%
  • Critical Damage — +0.1x crit multiplier per rank
  • Skill Mastery — +5% effective skill level per rank
  • Perfect Shot — distance-only: +accuracy & +range
  • Bestiary Damage — +5% damage vs tracked races
How It Works
Each weapon swing grants proficiency XP. At certain XP thresholds, you earn perk points. Spend points in any of the 5 trees. Perks are permanent and stack with equipment bonuses.

Offline Training

Your hero keeps training even when you're away. Choose one of 7 skills (sword, axe, club, distance, shield, fist, fishing) to practice offline. Skill XP accumulates for up to 12 hours, then claim it when you return.

7 skills 12h cap passive XP
⏸ Offline Training
Trainable Skills
Sword — sword fighting Axe — axe fighting Club — club fighting Distance — distance fighting Shield — shielding Fist — fist fighting Fishing — fishing skill
Mechanics
  • One skill at a time — choose which skill to train while offline
  • 12-hour cap — XP stops accumulating after 12h offline
  • Claim on login — accumulated XP is applied when you log back in
  • Rate — slower than active training, but free progress
Pro Tip
Train your weakest skill offline. Active combat trains your equipped weapon faster, so use offline time for secondary skills like fishing or shield.
☀

Animus Mastery

Track your kills per monster race and earn party-wide XP bonuses. Four mastery tiers — from 100 kills (Tier 1, +5% XP) to 5000 kills (Tier 4, +20% XP). Your mastery bonus applies to every party member hunting the same race.

4 tiers up to +20% XP party-wide
☀ Animus Mastery
Mastery Tiers
Tier 1 — 100 kills, +5% XP Tier 2 — 500 kills, +10% XP Tier 3 — 1000 kills, +15% XP Tier 4 — 5000 kills, +20% XP
How It Works
  • Track kills — every creature kill increments your mastery for that race
  • Party-wide — each party member gets their own mastery bonus
  • Permanent — mastery progress persists across sessions
  • Soulpit synergy — Soulpit kills grant bonus mastery XP
Pro Tip
Focus on one race at a time. Hunting 500 of the same creature unlocks Tier 2 for the entire party — a 10% XP boost that compounds with event multipliers.
⚜

Tier Skills

Equipped item tiers unlock powerful combat procs. Momentum (weapon tier) grants extra hit chance. Ruse (armor tier) grants dodge chance. Onslaught (weapon tier) boosts critical hit damage. Higher tier gear = stronger procs.

Momentum Ruse Onslaught
⚜ Tier Skills
Three Tier Skills
Momentum — 5% per tier: chance for extra hit at 50% damage Ruse — 3% per tier: dodge chance against monster attacks Onslaught — +10% per tier: critical hit damage bonus
How It Works
  • Weapon tier — drives Momentum and Onslaught proc rates
  • Armor tier — drives Ruse dodge chance
  • Stacks with perks — combines with Weapon Proficiency crit bonuses
  • Auto-detected — highest tier from equipped gear is used
Pro Tip
A Tier 4 weapon gives 20% Momentum proc chance and +40% crit damage from Onslaught. Pair with high crit chance from Weapon Proficiency for devastating burst damage.
⚖

Kill Chain

Chain consecutive rapid kills for an XP multiplier. Each kill within 5 seconds of the last adds +2% XP (max +50% at chain 25). Chains break on timeout, death, logout, or zone change — stay alive and keep killing.

+2% XP per chain max +50% 5s window
⚖ Kill Chain System
Chain Mechanics
  • Build chain — kill within 5s of previous kill to increment chain
  • XP bonus — +2% XP per chain level, up to +50% at chain 25
  • Break conditions — timeout (5s), death, logout, zone change
  • Live counter — chain count and multiplier shown in combat HUD
Pro Tip
Hunt in dense spawn areas to maintain chains. A 25-chain with Double XP event and Animus Mastery Tier 4 can yield 90%+ bonus XP per kill.
❖

Augments

Socket powerful augments into your weapons via Weapon Proficiency. 3 augment slots unlock at proficiency levels 25, 50, and 75. Choose from critical hit, damage type, life leech, mana leech, armor penetration, and elemental augments.

3 slots 6 augment types tiered unlocks
❖ Augments
Augment Types
Critical Hit — bonus crit chance Damage Type — convert to elemental damage Life Leech — heal on hit Mana Leech — restore mana on hit Armor Pen — bypass target armor Elemental — add elemental damage bonus
Slot Unlocks
  • Slot 1 — Weapon Proficiency level 25
  • Slot 2 — Weapon Proficiency level 50
  • Slot 3 — Weapon Proficiency level 75
Pro Tip
Life leech + mana leech augments make mages self-sustaining in long hunts. Combine with Chain System for infinite grinding loops.
☮

Exercise Weapons

Train your skills with exercise weapons — 32 weapon types that consume charges to grant skill tries or mana spent. Train at dummies in protection zones. House dummies give 120-200% bonus rates over public dummies.

32 weapons house dummies +200% PZ-only
☮ Exercise Weapons
How It Works
  • Acquire weapons — 32 exercise weapon variants (sword, axe, club, wand, etc.)
  • Find a dummy — training dummies in protection zones
  • Use weapon — consumes charges, grants skill tries
  • House dummies — 120-200% rate bonus over public dummies
  • Charges — each weapon has limited charges; refill or craft new
Pro Tip
Buy a house with a training dummy for the best skill rates. Exercise weapons + offline training + house dummy = 24/7 skill progression.

Quest System

Raids & World Events

115 scheduled raids sweep the land on timers — goblin invasions, dragon assaults, demon scouts, and kraken attacks. 8 world events apply global multipliers: Double XP, Loot Festivals, Skill Surge, and Spawn Booms. Check the raid panel for the next assault.

115 raids 8 events global multipliers
⚡ Raids & World Events
Raid System (115 raids)
Raids spawn waves of monsters at scheduled times near towns. Each raid has a unique name, spawn location, and monster set. Boss raids end with a powerful creature dropping premium loot.
Raid Examples
  • Dawnport Goblin Raid — early-game goblin waves
  • Ironhold Minotaur Invasion — minotaur assault
  • Ashenmoor Dragon Lord Assault — dragon boss raid
  • Sunken Kraken's Wrath — endgame sea monster
  • Celestial The Fall — final boss raid (gated by main story)
World Events (8)
  • Double XP — 2x experience from all sources
  • Loot Festival — increased drop rates
  • Skill Surge — faster skill progression
  • Spawn Boom — increased monster spawns
Boosted Creatures
Daily rotation: one creature and one boss get boosted bonuses (+50% XP/loot for creatures, +100% XP & double loot for bosses). Changes at server reset.

Hunting Tasks

228 tiered hunting tasks for the dedicated slayer. Pick a task, hunt the named creature, and return for XP and item rewards. Tasks are split by level range — low, mid, and high tier — so there's always a contract suited to your strength.

228 tasks tiered by level XP + item rewards
✓ Hunting Tasks
Task Tiers
Low Tier — levels 1-30 Mid Tier — levels 31-60 High Tier — levels 61+
How It Works
  • Accept — pick a task from the task board (one active at a time)
  • Hunt — kill the target creature; each kill counts toward your quota
  • Complete — return to the task giver when you've reached the kill count
  • Reward — XP scaled to task tier + bonus items
  • Cancel — you can abandon a task but lose progress
Pro Tip
Stack tasks with hunting zones. If a task asks for 50 minotaurs, hunt in the Ironhold minotaur caves where spawns are dense — you'll finish in half the time.

Doors & Teleports

Navigate a multi-floor world with key-locked doors, level-gated doors, quest-gated doors, stairs, ladders, holes, rope spots, and teleport pads. Use a shovel on closed holes to dig through. Doors auto-close after 30 seconds.

☰ Doors & Teleports
Door Types
Key doors — require specific key item in inventory Level doors — require minimum player level Quest doors — require completing a quest Normal doors — open and close freely
Floor Navigation
  • Stairs — walk up/down between floors
  • Ladders — climb up to the floor above
  • Holes — drop down; use shovel to open closed holes
  • Rope spots — climb up from below
  • Teleports — instant travel to mapped destination
Pro Tip
Always carry a rope and shovel. Many quest chests are hidden behind locked doors or buried holes in dungeon floors below the surface.

World Changes

Four dynamic world changes alter the landscape daily: Fury Gates, Nightmare Isles, Sunken Citadel, and Bog Raiders. Each advances through stages, spawning themed creatures near online players. Higher stages = more spawns.

4 world changes daily stages themed spawns
☁ World Changes
Active World Changes
Fury Gates — fire creature spawns Nightmare Isles — shadow/dream spawns Sunken Citadel — aquatic undead spawns Bog Raiders — swamp creature spawns
How It Works
  • Daily advancement — stages advance each server day
  • Spawn scaling — 2-3 creatures per stage level
  • Spawn interval — themed creatures appear every ~60 seconds
  • Proximity-based — spawns appear near online players

Soulpit Arena

Fiendish monsters drop Soul Cores — use them at the Soulpit Obelisk to summon solo arena fights. Defeat the captured creature for Animus Mastery XP and bonus rewards. Fuse cores at the Soul Prism for higher-tier challenges.

solo arena Soul Cores core fusing
⚠ Soulpit Arena
How It Works
  • Collect cores — fiendish monsters drop Soul Cores (~5% chance)
  • Start fight — use core at the Soulpit Obelisk for a solo arena fight
  • No party — solo only; no outside help
  • Mastery bonus — kills grant bonus Animus Mastery XP
  • Fuse cores — combine at Soul Prism for higher tier challenges
Soul War Synergy
Higher Soul War taint levels increase Soul Core drop chance from fiendish monsters. Stack taint + hazard + chain bonuses for maximum core farming.
☠

Soul War & Taint

Soul War minibosses inflict taint levels (0-5) that increase damage taken but boost XP from Soul War monsters by up to +50%. Taints expire after 2 hours or can be cleansed at the Flickering Soul NPC in a protection zone.

☠ Soul War & Taint
Taint Progression
  • Levels 0-2 — no damage penalty, small XP bonus
  • Level 3+ — monsters deal +10% damage per level above 2
  • Level 5 — +50% XP from Soul War monsters, +20% damage taken
  • Minibosses — Malice, Hatred, Spite, Cruelty, Greed add taint levels
Cleansing
Visit the Flickering Soul NPC in a protection zone to clear taints. Alternatively, taints expire automatically after 2 hours. Higher taint = higher Soulpit Soul Core drop chance.

Prophecy Codex

The Prophecy was never written in one place — it survives as nine verses, each carried by a lord of the story's arcs. Collecting a verse records it permanently in your Codex; gather all nine and you can read the whole Prophecy long before it is revealed in the Celestial Citadel.

9 verses boss drops Versekeeper title
📖 Prophecy Codex
The Nine Verses
  • Each arc-finale boss carries one verse — the Void, the oath, the drowned crown, the fallen star, the six lights, the watcher, the mortal rising, the unmaking
  • Verses are recorded on pickup, so your Codex survives trading or donating the item
Completion
Bring the Ninth Verse to Zariel (quest: The Ninth Verse) to earn the Versekeeper title. Donated verses also earn bespoke words at the Hall of Songstones.

Daily Boosted

Every day the server crowns one boosted creature and one boosted boss. The boosted creature pays +50% XP and double loot on every kill; the boosted boss drops a massively increased loot roll. Both are marked on the live world map.

+50% XP creature 2x loot daily rotation
⭐ Daily Boosted
How It Works
  • Boosted creature — +50% XP and 2x loot on every kill, all day
  • Boosted boss — kill bonus XP + 3.5x loot roll by default
  • Rotation — new picks at midnight UTC, announced on login
  • Tracking — ★ on the minimap; both pinned on the live world map
Pro Tip
Plan hunts around the boosted creature — a 1.5x XP / 2x loot day on a dense spawn is the best farming window in the game. Stacks with events, prey, and Animus Mastery.

Market & Trading

A player-driven marketplace where heroes post buy and sell offers for any item. Browse the market board, search by item name, and trade gold for gear. Prefer face-to-face? Initiate a direct trade — offer items and gold, negotiate, and accept when both parties are satisfied.

P2P market buy & sell offers direct trades
⚘ Market & Trading
Market Board
  • Sell offers — list an item with your asking price
  • Buy offers — post a bid for an item you want
  • Search — filter by item name, category, or price
  • History — view past transaction prices for any item
  • Fee — small listing fee prevents market spam
Direct Trading
Face-to-face trades: open a trade window with a nearby player, offer items and gold on both sides, and both must accept to complete. Safer for high-value items — no market fees.
Pro Tip
Check market history before listing. If an item's average price is 500g but someone listed it for 200g, buy it and relist — arbitrage is profitable!

Housing

218 houses across 21 towns, each with its own rent, size, and furniture layout. Purchase a house to call home, decorate with furniture, and invite friends. Abandon when you're ready to move on. Houses are tied to towns — the better the town, the higher the rent.

Spectate Mode

Watch a party member's hunt through their eyes. Right-click a party member in the battle list and choose Spectate — you see their viewport, creatures, and combat in real time. Read-only: watchers can't act, and the target always sees who is watching.

party-only read-only live viewport
👁 Spectate Mode
Rules
  • Same party only — you can only spectate members of your own party
  • Observer — all gameplay actions are blocked while watching; chat and info panels still work
  • Privacy — the target's inventory, mail, market, and private chat are never relayed
  • Transparent — the spectated player sees the names of everyone watching
  • Auto-end — the session ends if either side logs out
Pro Tip
Scout a dangerous spawn through a tank's eyes before the party commits — call pulls on the party channel while watching.

Hazard & Concoctions

Earn hazard points from monster kills (1 per 1000 XP). Spend them on concoctions for temporary buffs: +5%/10%/15% damage for 30min/1h/2h. Encounter influenced (8%, +100% XP) and fiendish (2%, +300% XP) monster variants for bonus rewards.

Pro Tip
Fiendish monsters also drop Soul Cores for the Soulpit. Hunt fiendish variants with a damage concoction active for maximum XP + hazard + core farming.

  • Dismiss — remove a hireling at any time

PvP & Worlds

⚔

Expert PvP Modes

Five PvP modes shape your combat stance: Dove (defensive, can't initiate), White (balanced), Yellow (aggressive), Red (dangerous, +damage dealt), Black (lethal, +damage taken). Switch with a 10s combat cooldown.

⚔ Expert PvP
PvP Modes
Dove — defensive, reduced damage taken, can't initiate White — balanced, standard PvP Yellow — aggressive, slight damage boost Red — dangerous, +damage dealt, +damage taken Black — lethal, maximum damage both ways
Pro Tip
Switch to Dove when grinding to avoid accidental PvP. Switch to Red/Black for guild wars where damage output matters more than survival.
🌏

Multi-World

Choose your world at character creation: Pyraxis (PvP enabled) or Silverwood (No-PvP). Each world has isolated creatures, items, players, and chat channels. No-PvP worlds convert hostile fields to safe variants. World-specific highscores filter by world.

  • World highscores — filter by world or all worlds
  • Safe fields — No-PvP worlds convert hostile fields to safe variants
⚔

Guild Wars

Declare war on rival guilds — leader initiates, opponent accepts. War kills are always justified (no skull penalty) and bypass level restrictions. First guild to reach the kill cap wins. Track kills, surrender, or fight to victory.

⚔ Guild Wars
War Mechanics
  • Declare — guild leader declares war on another guild
  • Accept — opposing leader must accept to activate
  • Kill cap — first to N kills wins (configurable)
  • No skulls — war kills are always justified
  • No level restriction — bypass level difference checks
  • Surrender — either leader can end the war early

How It Works
  • Toggle — enable/disable in OptionsPanel or SkillsPanel
  • On gold loot — gold deposited to your bank instead of inventory
  • No cap — all gold auto-deposited when enabled

Scry (Find Person)

Cast the Scry spell to locate any player — returns direction and distance. Offline players are detected. Level-gated info: only reveal target's level if you're higher level. Set an ignore/allow list to control who can scry you.

🔍 Scry
Spell Details
  • Mana cost — 20 mana
  • Cooldown — 2 seconds
  • Result — direction (N/S/E/W + diagonals) + distance in squares

  • Level gating — target level only shown if caster is higher level
Privacy
Set an ignore or allow list to control who can scry you. Add specific players to your ignore list to block them from locating you.

Retro Spell Learning

Spells are bought from NPC trainers with gold (cost = level × 100) instead of auto-granted. Learn spells at trainers in towns — each vocation has its own spell list. Must meet level requirements. Once learned, spells are permanently available.

NPC trainers gold cost permanent
📖 Retro Spell Learning
How It Works
  • Visit trainer — find your vocation's spell trainer in town
  • Browse spells — see learnable spells with prices
  • Learn — pay gold (level × 100) to permanently learn
  • Level requirement — must meet spell's minimum level
  • Cast check — learned spells checked before casting

Bed System

Use a bed in your house to sleep and regenerate — 5% HP and MP per 2-second tick for 10 minutes. Sleeping blocks movement and attacks; wake by attempting to move or attack. Free regeneration between hunts without consumables.

🛌 Bed System
How It Works
  • Use bed — interact with a bed item in your house
  • Regeneration — 5% HP + 5% MP per 2-second tick

  • Free — no consumables needed, just a bed in your house

Market Alerts

Set price alerts on any item and the server watches the market for you. "Below" rules fire when the cheapest sell offer hits your price; "above" rules fire when the top buy offer reaches it. Up to 20 rules, hourly re-arm, toast + chime on trigger — saved server-side for both clients.

20 rules above/below toast + chime
🔔 Market Alerts
How It Works
  • Below rule — fires when cheapest sell offer ≤ your price
  • Above rule — fires when highest buy offer ≥ your price
  • Cooldown — each rule fires at most once per hour
  • Warden demand — market offers on wanted materials get a demand badge
Pro Tip
Set "below" alerts on rare crafting materials and buy the dip instead of camping the market window.

Death Recap & Killcam

Deaths aren't a mystery. The death window shows a damage recap — every attacker, their element, total damage, and share — plus the killing blow. When session recording is on, a killcam button replays the fight from your recorded viewport.

damage recap killing blow replay player
📹 Death Recap & Killcam
Features
  • Recap — per-source damage breakdown with element and share
  • Killing blow — the hit that finished you, called out
  • Killcam — replay the recorded session around your death
  • Private — replays download only for your own characters
Pro Tip
Read the recap's dominant element, then gear resistances and blessings against it before the rematch.
🛡

Expeditions

The server runs the hunt for you. Depart from a protection zone into any area you've explored, escrow supplies, pick a pull style — cautious, normal, or aggressive — and the simulation fights on. Reduced XP and loot versus active play; defeat keeps half your loot and never costs XP or blessings.

3 pull styles forecast planner server-authoritative
🛡 Expeditions
How It Works
  • Depart from PZ — explored zones only, level and duration limits apply
  • Supply escrow — health and mana potions burn mid-run; leftovers return
  • Forecast — kills, XP/h, gold, potion burn, and defeat risk before you commit
  • Outcomes — completed, out of supplies, driven back, or recalled early
  • Report — Ledger mail if you are offline when it resolves
Pro Tip
Cautious pulls are survivable nearly everywhere at your level — aggressive is a gamble against burst-heavy endgame zones. Full details: system page · wiki guide.
📱

Second Screen

Play the idle layer without the game client. The portal Command Center drives expeditions, mail, and market for offline characters; pocket mode is a canvas-free live session for phones; installable as a PWA with push alerts when your hunter returns.

command center pocket mode push alerts
📱 Second Screen
Features
  • Command Center — portal page that works while the character is offline
  • Pocket mode — add ?pocket=1 to the web client URL, or get offered it on narrow screens
  • PWA — install the app; iOS requires Add to Home Screen before push works
  • Push — expedition-returned notification deep-links back into pocket mode
  • Session lock — Command Center and in-game sessions can't drive the same character at once
Pro Tip
Depart from the temple, close the laptop, and collect from your phone at lunch. Full details: wiki/second-screen.
