This page is a work-in-progress, and it describes content that is currently in beta. Information may be incomplete or out of date. Discussions on the page’s layout and design are ongoing.
Editor’s note: Please do not add any pages as children of this page in the navigation. Its contents will be copied into The Realm once the Realm Rework is released, and this page will be deleted!
The Realm is the overworld of the game. Each server has multiple Realm portals in the north wing of the Nexus.
Each Realm has a player cap of 85 players, including players in the main Realm and inside of dungeons. Attempting to enter a full Realm will place the player in a queue, which automatically enters one player into the realm at a time as space becomes available. Moving roughly 2 tiles away from the portal will cause the player to exit the queue. A player can be in multiple queues, provided the realm portals are close enough to each other.
A realm’s maps are composed of Rookie, Adept, and Veteran biomes. Rookie biomes are meant for levelling up, Adept biomes are meant for acquiring Potions to max out your character’s stats excluding HP and MP, and Veteran biomes are meant for all further progression.
Each biome has a Beacon located within it. With the exception of the Shore-like biomes (the Beach, the Coral Reefs, and the Deep Sea Abyss) all Beacons start out inactive. They are guarded by Beacon Guardians which must be killed to activate the Beacon. Activated Beacons can be teleported to using the minimap. Beacons are connected to each other by roads, which boost movement speed, allowing skilled players to quickly move through a new Realm and activate most of the Beacons.
In addition to standard Monsters, Realms contain Heroes of Oryx. Heroes are strong Monsters that spawn in pre-determined locations, though which Hero spawns in which location is random. They frequently spawn with setpieces, which change the nearby ground tiles and may contain walls, liquids, or other hazards. Some Heroes spawn only at the Realm’s creation, some spawn initially and can respawn after enough time, and others spawn only after a Realm is created.
Defeating a Hero has a 25% chance to spawn an Encounter. Also called Event Gods, these are strong and difficult Monsters that pose a large threat to players unless they attack it in a group. They typically have a chance to drop powerful equipment, multiple Potions, and unique untiered items.
All realms keep track of their Realm Score, visible as a percentage in the drop-down menu in the top left corner of the screen. Once the Realm Score reaches 100%, Oryx will close the realm, meaning that it can no longer be entered from the Nexus. After two minutes pass, Oryx will transport all players in the realm to Oryx’s Castle, and the realm will reset and become accessible again. (Note that any players currently in dungeons will not be transported to Oryx’s Castle. They will enter the reset realm upon leaving the dungeon through the Portal of Cowardice or Realm Portal dropped by the dungeon’s boss.)
