Player Commands

PVM Leveling

Characters gain PVM experience from killing monsters. Stronger monsters give more experience.

PVP rule

PVM bonuses do not apply to PVP or player-vs-player pet combat.

Player Aspects

Aspects are PVM build choices. At major PVM levels, players choose one of three options.

Pets, Breeding, and Pet PVM Leveling

Bonded and tamed pets gain PVM levels from monster hunting. Pet bonuses are PVM-only.

Pet Breeding

Bonded pets can be bred at a Pet Breeding Doctor. Parents must be the same creature type.

Food and Water

Breeding requires 500 food and 500 water.

Breeding Quality

Pets show breeding quality under their name. Normal tames show Natural. Bred pets roll one of five quality classes.

Summons and Familiars

Summons gain PVM levels and keep progress between casts.

Magery summons

Daemon, elementals, Blade Spirit, Energy Vortex, and Summon Creature options level by fighting monsters. Progress is stored by summon type.

Summon Creature

Summon Creature has multiple creature choices. It requires Magery and Spirit Speak.

Necromancy familiars

Death Adder poison scaling

Loot, Tiered Monsters, and Item Power

Monster loot depends on creature tier.

Monster variants

Normal monsters can spawn as stronger tiered versions. The tier appears in the monster name.

Paragons

Most non-boss monsters can have a chance to spawn as paragons. Bosses and champions are excluded from normal paragon spawning.

Item Power Level

Wearable items show a power level based on mods, resists, sockets, and item type.

The score is not only mod count. Strong mods matter more than weak mods.

Power Levels can go above 100.

Artifacts, Bosses, and Champions

Bosses and champions use a set artifact list.

Champion/boss artifact chance

Bosses and champions have a 12% artifact drop chance.

Approved boss/champion artifact pool

The pool includes selected Doom artifacts, selected Greater Tokuno artifacts, and custom Mentula artifacts.

Boss rotation

The boss rotation spawns one boss at a time. The next boss can spawn one hour after the active boss dies. Active boss messages appear every 5 minutes.

Power scrolls and stat scrolls

Bosses can also drop power scrolls and stat scrolls at lower chances. Power scrolls can raise skill caps toward 120. Stat scrolls can improve the total stat cap.

Cursed artifacts

When a player obtains a cursed artifact, they become an artifact carrier. Their name is shown to the world map, travel magic is blocked, and the artifact cannot be moved or insured until deposited at a bank with [DepositArtifact.

• If the carrier dies, the cursed artifact drops on their corpse.
• Whoever picks it up becomes the carrier.
• The artifact can be used and insured normally after bank deposit.

Fishing and Sea Hunts

Fishing includes marks, tools, sea monsters, sunken chests, and sea-themed loot.

Fishing vendor currencies

• Angler Marks
• Tideglass Shards

Sea Hunt creatures

Special krakens and sea serpents can spawn in random water areas. They can carry sunken treasure chests.

Sunken treasure chests

Sunken chests require Grandmaster Lockpicking and 100 Fishing. Chests can contain gold, gems, magic gear, wands, bandages, sea dyes, skill scrolls, treasure maps, MIBs, and sea artifacts.

Sea artifacts

Mentula Gardening

Plants are grown through the Mentula Garden Shed.

Example plants

Blood Vine, Grave Rose, Mooncap Mushroom, Ember Orchid, Void Lily, Frost Fern, Swamp Lotus, Thorned Nightshade, Black Glass Cactus, Vampire Pitcher Plant, Frozen Heart Bloom, Grinning Grave Bloom, Soul Lantern Cactus, Pearlscale Lotus, Dragonfire Cabbage, and many more.

Crafting, Runics, and Gear

Runic tools

Runic tools create magic crafted gear.

• Runic smithing hammers craft armor and weapons.
• Runic tinkering tools use the same tier system as smithing hammers.
• Tinkered jewelry gets jewelry-appropriate properties.
• Tinkered weapons and hatchets can roll weapon properties from the runic tier.
• Runic tinkering tools come from the Mentula Runic Crucible.

Arms Lore and blacksmithing

Blacksmiths with 100.0 Blacksmithy and 100.0 Arms Lore get better runic crafting rolls for weapons and armor.

When a runic hammer rolls an item, the hammer tier chooses the base number of properties. Arms Lore can raise that count by one if the item has room.

• A 3-mod runic roll can have a chance to become 4 mods.
• A 4-mod runic roll can have a chance to become 5 mods.
• An item already at the max stays at the max.

Arms Lore also improves the chance for higher property values.

Balanced two-handed melee

Two-handed melee weapons can spawn or craft with Balanced.

Transmog deeds

Transmog deeds change armor or clothing appearance to another valid item of the same wearable slot.

Repair All Deeds

Repair All Deeds repair durable items. Blacksmiths sell them.

Mount barding deeds

Animal trainers sell dragon barding deeds and horse barding deeds. The deed lets you choose a metal type.

Socketed Gear

Eligible normal armor and jewelry can roll sockets. Artifacts do not roll random sockets.

Socket information appears in the item property window, and socketed gear receives an item power level increase.

Storage, Loadouts, and Supplies

Storage Trunk

• The Open World PVP Board tracks kills, deaths, and title progress.
• Anti-farm cooldown is set to 10 minutes.

Basic Game Mechanics

Skills and stats

Skills control character actions. Skills above 100 need power scrolls. Stats affect health, stamina, mana, carry weight, swing speed, and casting.

Skill scrolls

Skill Scrolls can be found as loot and grant instant skill gains of +1, +2, or +3. They increase the skill value, not the cap. Once a skill reaches 100.0, small skill scrolls stop working. Power scrolls are needed to raise the cap toward 120, and skills from 100 to 120 must still be trained.

Power scrolls

Power scrolls raise a skill cap, commonly to 110, 115, or 120 depending on the scroll.

Insurance

Normal gear can be insured. Cursed artifact-carrier items cannot be insured until deposited at a bank.

Death and resurrection

Wandering healers and priests heal resurrected players. A player-cast Resurrection spell heals for 45% when the caster has 120 Magery. Veterinarians can resurrect pets immediately.
