New Feature: Hybrid Skills

Hybrid skills are "background" skills that gain XP automatically whenever you perform related primary activities. They reward players for being versatile!

  • 💀 Slayer: Leveled by Combat and Mob Kills.
  • 🍃 Naturalist: Leveled by Lumberjack and Farming.
  • 🔨 Blacksmith: Leveled by Mining and Smelting/Cooking.
  • 🌍 Wanderer: Leveled by Traveler (distance) and Fishing.

Once you reach high levels in your core skills, you unlock Active Abilities that can be triggered by Sneaking (Shift) while performing the action!

  • ⛏️ Vein Miner (Miner Lvl 50+): Sneak while mining to instantly clear a small cluster of ores or stone.
  • 🪓 Timber (Lumberjack Lvl 50+): Sneak while chopping to fell a significant portion of the tree at once.

The Prestige System

Reached Level 100? Your journey isn't over. You can now Prestige your skills to reset them to level 1 in exchange for a permanent +10% XP Multiplier for that skill. This stacks up to 10 times!
