I. Core Mechanics

These are the systems that define the moment-to-moment action and the player's basic interaction with the world. Without these, the game wouldn't function as a role-playing game.

Hybrid Combat

  • Targeting: Often uses a soft lock or target selection system. You can select a target for tracking health and debuffs, but many core abilities still require manual aiming or direction.
  • Telegraphs: The most common mechanic is the use of telegraphs (visible colored areas on the ground) to show where an enemy attack will land. This is borrowed from action combat and forces players to move.

Traversal

  • Players shall be allowed to move by walking or using summon mounts.
  • Fast Travel: Players can use a summoning scroll (purchasable from merchants) to summon the Kuchero, which provides fast travel on different towns and places in the map.

Resource Gathering

Players can interact with ores, trees, water, etc., to gather resources or generate materials for progression within the game.

  • Trees: Crafting materials, foraging
  • Mining: Crafting materials
  • Fishing: There are fishing spots or ponds ingame where players are allowed to farm pearls.
  • Pearl: Rarest drop — 5% chance to get 20 pearls, 1% to get 100 pearls
  • Fish: Different rarities; varying drop rates depending on type
  • Seaweed: Common drop — 50% chance to get

Looting System

Enemies drop loot bags containing items of different rarity depending on color (e.g., purple – rare, brown – common, blue – uncommon, etc.).
Each monster has its own unique drop, but all monsters provide common resources like “pilak” (silver) and experience for leveling.

Questing

Players can accept quests or missions in the game from NPCs or events that provide rewards depending on quest difficulty and rarity. Quests can either be a Resource Gathering request or a Combat Quests (Mob Slaying). - Main Quests(Mandatory) - Players are required to tackle the main quests to unlock regions and increase their max lvl cap. - Side Quests(Optional) - Players encounter NPC's that may give them a quest finishing said objectives would reward them with resources. - Event Quests(Timely) - Event quests are limited-time events quests for everyone to participate, these give significantly better rewards than normal quests.

Inventory System

Inventories contain slots that house one type of item.
- Stack limit: 999 items per slot
- Backpacks: Increase the player’s total inventory capacity

Trading System

Players are allowed to buy, sell, or trade loot and resources gathered in the game.

Personal Resource Management

Players are required to manage: - Health - This depletes when another entity inflicted damage on you, skills, attacks, debuffs. - Mana - This depletes when the character uses a skill. - Stamina - This depletes on combat when sprinting to dodge skills.

Progression

Characters can progress by: - Leveling up
- Upgrading gear
- Improving skills

This progression is the core goal — to become stronger and tackle more difficult challenges.
