Story
Gameplay
The game has a Friendship system, where two players can become Friends and share the experience gained during the game. If one of the Friends leaves the game, he can leave a friend with his shadow and, upon returning to the game, get half of the experience gained. Also, special skills become available to two players bound by the bonds of Friendship: such as transferring to each other, the ability to strengthen each other, etc.
One way to get items in the game is to dig. Having received a shovel at the very beginning of the game, a character can begin to dig anywhere in the world, and the quality and characteristics of the items thus mined will depend on the level of the character.
The user starts the game with a level 1 character who does not possess any special skills. At level 5, having completed a special task, he can choose a character class: warrior, archer, or wizard, and then at level 24 and 40 several options of specialization will be available to him. Moreover, even if a player decides not to choose specializations, he will not cease to gain experience and improve his level. For each of the three game classes, three skill branches are provided, while access to skills of a higher level depends on the number of points invested in the skills of previous levels, which limits the possibility of simultaneous use of several skill branches.
Character characteristics increase automatically as you level up. Also, “live stones” are used, by setting which in special sockets in the equipment of the character, the player can increase the desired characteristics.
For the use of skills, the character receives coins skills. Having accumulated 5 coins, he will be able to summon the Guardian of the soul, who will help him in battle. The Soulkeeper has a set of active and passive skills that depend on his level and specialization of the character called the Guardian.
The game has a system of titles that players receive for completing various achievements. Each new rank adds a character achievement points, which is the ranking of players.
