What’s in the forge

The six starting Jobs

Abilities aren’t locked to the Job that learned them. Level a Job, then slot its abilities on any other Job up to half your level. Any Job can use any weapon, though some fit certain weapons better.

Combat

• Weapon skills and skillchains. Every weapon type has its own weapon skill table. Chain them through multi-tier skillchains and close with a magic burst.
• Real hate. Enemies keep a hate table. Tanks have Provoke to hold it.
• Sight and sound. Enemies notice you by sight or by sound. Sneak and Invisible get you past them.
• Death costs you, but not a corpse run: return home, or use Raise and Reraise.
• Trusts. 15 story characters you recruit through their quests. Bring up to two. They pay MP and AP like you do and join skillchains and magic bursts.

A world that runs on a calendar

• An eight-day elemental week and weather sway magic and synthesis.
• Moon phases sway crafting and gathering.
• Warp between the shrines you’ve attuned to.
• Hand-authored zone stories, and Glyphling spirits tied to a secrets-tracking Journal.

Earn the Forge

• Gear is multi-tiered, culminating in Remnant gear at level 20, with endgame crafted Ascended gear beyond it.
• Gather it, craft it, wear it. Mining, logging, harvesting and fishing nodes feed eight crafting guilds, with crystals, guild ranks and high-quality +1 results.
• A Journal that keeps track, with a Bestiary of field notes and a record of your Jobs, Trusts and hunts.
• Named enemies across Chapter 1, and more after the story ends, along with a Hunt Board and Empowered Trials.

Three origins, one destiny

Play the Dwarven, Elven or Human path, each with its own zones, cast and bosses. All three converge on one story at Misthaven. About 10 hours per path, about 30 across all three, with an ending written as a complete arc.
