THE TOWER

The player reference for the Tower. Every number comes straight from the game. In Discord, /wiki ask answers from this public reference only. Player and trade levels keep gaining EXP after 99; combat stats stop at level 99. The Tower currently goes up to Floor 3, Section Z, and gear runs through gate 50.

The Tower uses major floors with lettered sections. It currently covers Floor 1, Sections A-Z, Floor 2, Sections A-Z and Floor 3, Sections A-Z; Floors 4-5 are not published yet. Biomes change gradually instead of jumping from one extreme theme to the next.

Start here

The climb loop is simple: /rpg start, /rpg play hunt, /rpg gear forge and /rpg gear equip, then /rpg play boss to clear the boss or crew wall that blocks the next section.

Begin Here

Begin Here is the short on-ramp for the Tower: what to press first, where to look when stuck, and what the game is asking you to learn before the climb gets hard.

The current climb runs through Floor 3, Section Z. This page gives directions without hidden quest triggers or private boss moves.

Teach-mode FAQ §

Short answers first. Each row points you back to the deeper reference page when you need numbers or tables.

Classes

Every level-up pays 2 skill points. A full early branch costs 39; long-tail levels let builds keep growing, but capstones are keystones now: base capstones still ask for 20 points in their own branch first, and specialization capstones ask for their chain instead. Keystones change how a skill behaves: kill resets, turning ailments, procs, healing-based shields, or extra-target echoes.

Advanced forks open at level 30 after The Thirty-First Step and the matching Path Trial. Paths you've already chosen are kept. Once chosen, the hub and public inspect card show the advanced path name instead of the base class. Choosing a fork slots its new skill into the active kit once; you can rearrange the other slots afterward. The base class passive is replaced by the fork passive. Clearing a fork costs 100,000 gold. You also earn and wear the matching <Path> Awakened title.

A build can hold 2 keystone capstones at once, so the final shape has to choose a plan. Each class also has one public skill chain: setup skills arm a short matching follow-up window for +4% damage, and the window only matters if the loadout carries both sides. Respec from /rpg character skills, then Class tree: 500 + 100×level gold, while existing advanced-path or oath builds were raised to at least 3 free rebuilds by this rework.

🛡️ Tank §

Unbreakable. Slow, steady, very hard to kill.

Best for players who want to win every fight eventually. You out-survive everything on your floor and face-tank the Guardian's big hits — but tough monsters above your level can outlast your damage.

weapon: sword deals: slash / blunt primary: attack auto plan: sustain

Iron Skin — You take 10% less damage from every hit.
Weakness: Lowest damage in the game — strong monsters retreat before you finish them.
Gear leaning: Platebody and a greatsword — you can afford slow.

Skill chain: Guard Break — Guard setup opens a blunt follow-up window. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: War Cry, Fortress, Unbreakable. Follow-up: Shield Bash, Shield Slam, Power Slam.

L1: 42 HP · 20 mana · 6 attack · 5 def · 5 spd · 4% crit  →  L99: 1316 HP · 216 mana · 84 attack · 93 def · 30 spd · 14% crit

⚔️ Warrior §

Heavy hits that keep getting heavier.

Best for players who like raw melee damage. Your Rage builds every round — the longer a fight runs, the harder you hit, which makes you the natural counter to long Guardian fights.

weapon: axe deals: slash / blunt primary: attack auto plan: ramp

Rage — Your damage grows 3% at the end of every round of combat, up to +30% — fury peaks; it doesn't compound forever.
Weakness: Slow starter — short fights end before your Rage gets going.
Gear leaning: Great axe and plate — long fights favor you.

Skill chain: Commanding Crash — War cries and armor breaks open the next heavy crash. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Battle Shout, Sunder, War Stomp. Follow-up: Cleave, Titan Slam, Rampage.

L1: 38 HP · 22 mana · 8 attack · 4 def · 6 spd · 5% crit  →  L99: 1116 HP · 238 mana · 111 attack · 68 def · 45 spd · 25% crit

🗡️ Assassin §

Fast and lethal. Big crits, glass bones.

Best for players who like spiky damage and acting first. Vanish into a guaranteed crit, melt the Guardian in burst windows, poison what you can't burst — but heavily-armored monsters blunt your blades.

weapon: dagger deals: pierce / dark / nature primary: attack auto plan: burst

Venom Edge — Your basic attacks have a 20% chance to poison the target, and your blades ignore Defense buffs — anyone's. Shields Up, Iron Set, every raised stance means nothing to a blade already inside it; base armor and a plain brace still count.
Weakness: Lowest HP; high-Defense monsters shrug off your fast hits.
Gear leaning: Stiletto and leathers — fast and critty.

Skill chain: Black Line — Stealth, speed, and marks open the next kill stroke. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Vanish, Shadowstep, Deathmark. Follow-up: Shadow Strike, Fan of Knives, Execute.

L1: 32 HP · 25 mana · 8 attack · 3 def · 9 spd · 8% crit  →  L99: 963 HP · 270 mana · 106 attack · 52 def · 73 spd · 47% crit

Steady damage from a safe distance.

Best for players who like consistent, reliable hunts with the occasional huge crit. Focus sets up devastating crit windows against the Guardian — but a bad crit-luck day is a real thing.

weapon: bow deals: pierce primary: range auto plan: burst

Eagle Eye — Your critical hits land at 175% damage where everyone else's stop at 150%, and your attacks into a winding-up boss deal 25% more — when the tell goes up, you shoot it, you don't hide from it.
Weakness: Middling HP and Defense; your damage swings with crit luck.
Gear leaning: Shortbow and leathers — built for crits.

Skill chain: Marked Volley — Focus and pins open a sharper shot window. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Focus, Pinning Shot. Follow-up: Piercing Shot, Arrow Storm, Heartseeker.

L1: 34 HP · 30 mana · 7 range · 3 def · 8 spd · 7% crit  →  L99: 1014 HP · 324 mana · 105 range · 57 def · 67 spd · 41% crit

Glass cannon. Deletes monsters before they touch you.

Best for players who like big numbers and short fights. Fireball melts your floor, and Magic Barrier answers the Guardian's telegraphs — but when the mana runs dry, you're a librarian in a bathrobe.

weapon: staff deals: blunt / fire / frost primary: magic auto plan: burst

Arcane Mind — Your skills deal 10% more damage.
Weakness: Paper HP and Defense; weak basic attacks between skill casts.
Gear leaning: Wand and robes — mana first.

Skill chain: Shatterburn — Frost control and mana setup open the next fire window. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Ice Spike, Frost Nova, Mana Surge. Follow-up: Fireball, Meteor, Pyroclasm.

weapon: scythe deals: slash / dark / nature primary: magic auto plan: dot first

Dark Pact — You recover 2 extra Mana at the end of every round.
Weakness: Paper armor and a weak opening — burst monsters hurt before your curses bite.
Gear leaning: Robes and a sickle — keep the mana flowing.

Skill chain: Grave Count — Curses, rot, and control set up the next harvest. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Decay, Grave Hand, Plague Burst. Follow-up: Life Drain, Soul Harvest, Death Coil.

L1: 31 HP · 48 mana · 7 magic · 2 def · 6 spd · 5% crit  →  L99: 913 HP · 518 mana · 105 magic · 51 def · 45 spd · 20% crit

✨ Priest §

Reads the fight, then refuses to lose it.

Best for players who like turning a boss's own rhythm into safety. Blessing mends you every round, and answering the boss — defend its telegraph, interrupt, counter — opens a Recovery Window where your mends run full and your strikes sharpen. Read well and the fight is yours.

weapon: mace deals: blunt / holy primary: magic auto plan: sustain

Blessing — You heal 2.5% of your max HP at the end of every round. In boss rooms your mends run full only inside a Recovery Window — answer the boss (defend its telegraph, interrupt, or counter) to open one for 3 rounds of full mends and +15% Damage; off-beat mends run at 60% strength.
Weakness: Lowest damage of the casters — tough monsters take a while to fall.
Gear leaning: Warhammer and robes — smash armor, keep healing.

Skill chain: Litany — Holy recovery and wards open an answering strike. Slot a setup and a follow-up together; the matching follow-up consumes the short window for +4% damage. Setup: Heal, Holy Shield, Ward of Light, Sanctuary. Follow-up: Smite, Censure, Judgement.

L1: 36 HP · 45 mana · 6 magic · 4 def · 5 spd · 4% crit  →  L99: 1114 HP · 486 mana · 89 magic · 73 def · 39 spd · 14% crit

Mechanics

How the Tower plays: the turn loop and combat first, then the systems around them. Jump to a topic or read straight down.

The action economy §

Stamina is the pace: 1 back every 5 seconds (max 50). Hunts cost 5, training 5, floor bosses 10, guardians 15, raids 15. HP regenerates 2%/min out of combat, mana 5%/min.

Party hunts §

/rpg hub action party opens a server party board. One leader opens a lobby at their current floor, up to 4 fighters join, and the leader launches a short co-op hunt that costs 5 stamina each. Expired lobbies close when the board is viewed; no hourly timer is involved.

Party rewards are deliberately below solo farming: EXP uses 70% of the solo hunt value, gold uses 65%, and part drops roll at 18.0%. A full clear can roll a Tower Casket at 3.0% for each fighter. Carried fighters earn from their own floor, not the leader's floor, and the usual grey reward taper still applies.

The wiki helper §

/wiki ask is the public Discord helper for this atlas. It answers from the published wiki and patch notes only, never from private character state, inventory, hidden quest triggers, boss move scripts, exact telegraph lines, secrets, or exploits. If the wiki does not publish an answer yet, the helper says so instead of guessing.

Codex titles §

The Codex records firsts forever. Completing a category grants a cosmetic title the next time the Codex updates or you open the quest/title surfaces. These titles do not change stats, drops, EXP, gold, floor access, route odds, or boss behavior.

Codex milestones §

Whole-Codex milestones pay at 25%, 50%, 100%. Each milestone counts the Codex entries you already have and grants a title, a visible Codex badge, and bounded Codex Bounty Writs. Bounty writs are soulbound vendor bounties; they do not add stats, drops, EXP, floor access, route odds, or boss behavior.

Level milestones §

Reaching level 55, 60, 65, 70, 80, or 90 grants a title and free look rolls the first time. Milestones add no power: combat stats follow the normal level curve.

Paragon prestige §

Character EXP remains uncapped, but combat stats use level 99 as the effective power cap. Post-cap levels grant cosmetic Paragon titles and visible Paragon crests. Reward taper still reads raw level, so trivial farming keeps falling to the minimum reward multiplier instead of becoming a safe post-cap faucet.

Grandmaster capes §

Every trade can keep gaining EXP. Skill level 99 grants that trade's summit title plus a Grandmaster cape in the Titles page. Capes are cosmetic proof only; they do not change stats, drops, EXP, gold, floor access, route odds, boss behavior, vendors, markets, stamina, or item tables.

Season Climbs §

Season Climbs are 8-week ladders. A new season starts every 8 weeks, and you see it the next time you play or open the leaderboard. Points come from multiple playstyles, but each source has a per-player daily cap. The free reward track is cosmetic-only: titles and badges do not change stats, drops, EXP, gold, floor access, route odds, boss behavior, vendors, markets, or item tables. Old season cosmetics do not return; Season 1 rewards and Season 2 rewards are different cosmetics.

The leaderboard also shows a weekly slate. Each week picks 3 public challenges from the same capped season sources; completing one grants a one-time 120 point season bonus. The notice beside the slate is two plain lines that name the week's challenges. It is presentation only and does not change stats, drops, EXP, gold, floor access, route odds, boss behavior, vendors, markets, stamina, or item tables.

From Season 3 on, the free track keeps going past those three tiers:

Codex breakdown §

/rpg progress quest includes a Codex page with category filters, paged rows, recorded and missing marks, category totals, whole-Codex totals, and your next steps. It uses the same source labels as the item guide and covers everything up to Floor 3, Section Z.

Codex search filters §

The Codex page has a search button for the currently open category. Search matches category and entry names, plus where things come from: floor numbers, boss names, recipe labels, quest rewards, farming, thieving, delves, salvage, named venues, and boss-variant pressure. Blank search clears it. Search does not reveal hidden quest steps, exact boss moves, your private stats, or guaranteed drops.

Codex source reports §

The Codex page also shows a summary of what you still have left to find, using the same entries as this wiki. It groups what's missing by category, floor band, item source, and boss-variant pressure so players can decide whether to climb, hunt, skill, quest, trade, run delves, or prepare boss lessons next. The summary is deliberately rough: it does not name hidden quest steps, exact boss moves, your private stats, or guaranteed drops.

Codex catch-up §

When you open Codex progress, the Codex fills in floors you've already reached and items you already own (from your bag or bank), and clears out anything from removed content, before checking your completion titles. It never guesses at hidden quest steps, old boss clears, species kills, boss-variant lessons, private strategy, or guaranteed drops.

Codex next-lead examples §

The Quests & Codex hub uses the same logic to suggest one next step per incomplete category. The table below shows the first step a blank Codex would see. Later steps follow the same floor rosters, floor bosses, variant pressure, and item source labels without revealing hidden quest steps, your private stats, exact boss moves, or guaranteed drops.

Command menu §

/rpg keeps everything under a few command families — play, gear, character, progress, market, bank, pet, and guild — so the menu stays tidy as the Tower grows. /rpg hub action commands opens a searchable list of every Tower screen, and you can jump to any of them by typing in its autocomplete. That list covers hub sections, routes, the Forge, inventory, quests, Codex, titles, the guide, floor notes, raids, the market, your listings, supply requests, the vault, the stable, the guild board, your profile, the leaderboard, the Tower overview, and shortcuts such as bag, manual, and floor map.

New screens are added inside this list instead of crowding the menu, so the commands you already know never change — and you can always find a new screen by searching /rpg hub action commands.

Core command quick reference

How a hit resolves §

1. Dodge: 3% base, ±1% per point of speed difference, capped 20%.
2. Damage: attacker damage × skill multiplier, minus half the defender's defense (quarter if the skill pierces), ±10% variance.
3. Type chart: hitting a weakness ×1.25; into a resistance ×0.75. Monsters and bosses have charts — you don't.
4. Crit: crit chance rolls; a crit deals your crit damage (base 150%, raised by gear; the Archer's passive adds 25).
5. Guard and counterplay: Defend halves what lands that round. Daze makes the next action 30% weaker. Matching boss counterplay through prepared tools, route prep, or resource prep makes that move deal 10% less damage; basic attacks, raw burst, type coverage, cleanse, and control do not trigger this mitigation by themselves. If Assess read the next move, the immediate follow-up can soften that move by another 8% when the chosen action matches a non-basic counter. If that Boss Assess follow-up is a matching Defend, it can open Guard Counter after the guard actually softens the move: your short attack window gains +3% Damage. If the follow-up is an active skill or item answer that matches the forecast move's non-basic counter, it also opens Counter Momentum: your next attack window gains +4% Damage. Defend still protects in its own lane, but only a Boss Assess read plus the matching guard creates Guard Counter, and Defend, basic attacks, and passive prep alone do not create Counter Momentum. Assess forecasts label guard-counter-ready Defend when the forecasted damaging move can become a Guard Counter window, and they label momentum-ready skills when your current cooldowns, mana, and initiative can turn the read into that opening. If your build has a matching skill but the opening is blocked, the read can show a momentum gap: boss initiative, cooldown, or mana.
6. Deep-floor bulk tax: once a boss reaches level 20 (the deeper floors), its telegraphed heavy ALSO bites 6% of your max HP — the bigger your health pool, the more it takes, so brute-forcing a boss on raw HP and mitigation stops working up there. Any real answer fully negates it: Defend the ⚠️ wind-up, dodge it, or open a Guard-Counter read. Only standing there and tanking it pays the toll.
7. Skill chains: every class has one public setup-to-follow-up chain. When a slotted setup skill arms the chain, a matching slotted follow-up skill can consume the short window for +4% damage. The window expires if you spend the turn elsewhere, and it does not change loot, EXP, gold, or boss behavior.
8. Tactical windows: boss screens show current active openings and effects such as Counter Momentum, Assess, shields, ailments, and boss debuffs. This readout is current-state only; it does not reveal future boss moves or hidden solutions.

Damage types §

Skills can carry their own type. Fight cards show a monster's chart; the log calls out "weak spot!" and "(resisted)".

Rarity §

Rarity is a roll on the piece, not the model — it survives same-material upgrades. Passives never scale with rarity. Epic is earned (guardian trophies, raid wins — never rolled); special, legendary, and mythic are luck: every gear drop and every forging rolls 1.0% / 0.1% / 0.01%, with better odds from rare monsters, bosses, and raids. The Market pays a flat rate; players pay more.

Ailments & buffs §

Damage-over-time kinds: burn, bleed, poison, curse — tick at end of round; antidotes (alchemy) cleanse them mid-fight. One cooked feast and one brewed tonic may be banked at a time; each feeds exactly one fight.

Defeat §

Losing a fight never takes earned items or EXP, and it still pays 25% of the kill's EXP. A first defeat wakes you in Haven at 25% HP in either mode. The soup costs 5 gold per level, and more the deeper you've climbed (clamped to what you carry). After a first defeat you leave Battered for 10m: boss rooms and the deep are closed and your hunts swing 10% softer until it clears. Eating healing food or a health potion shakes Battered off early, even at full HP.

Your death streak counts defeats since your last clean win (a win you start without Battered). Switching modes keeps it. In a party hunt, wall or guild boss, a crew win is a clean win for every member, even one who fell before the kill; when the crew loses, only fighters who fell take the defeat. In a world boss swing, falling is a defeat even if the boss goes down in the same round. In Default Mode, your 1st/2nd/3rd+ defeat wakes you at 25/20/15% HP and makes Battered hunts swing 10%/14%/18% softer; Battered lasts 10m each time, and a Default defeat never costs stamina.

Hardcore Mode is opt-in from /rpg hub action hardcore. It restores the harder post-onboarding pressure: lower hunt recovery, the harder monster attack curve, earlier stale-gear pressure, and harsher defeat stakes. In Hardcore, your 1st/2nd/3rd+ defeat wakes you at 25/18/12% HP, leaves you Battered for 10m/20m/30m, makes hunts swing 10%/15%/20% softer, and costs 5 stamina.

World events & the chronicle §

World events are short server-wide windows: ⛏️ Rich Veins (side-finds from gathering roll at DOUBLE odds) · 🔥 Hot Floors (hunts pay +15% EXP) · 🪙 Market Day (hunts pay +20% gold) · 🥚 Hatching Weather (the base 0.5% egg chance doubles on winning hunts from the Grassy Plains through the Dark Floors; Lures still add +1.5%) · 📌 Board Bounty (the notice board pays +25% gold on contracts claimed during the event) · 🛤️ Old Roads (hunts on Floor 1, Sections A-K pay +30% gold). A Wanderer's bonus on the same thing stacks with an event: the two multiply (see the weekly walk below). They start a few times a day at most and last about two hours each. Two of them run on a fixed schedule: Hot Floors every Wednesday 18:00 UTC and Market Day every Saturday 18:00 UTC. Everything noteworthy lands in #rpg-events, the chronicle: relic pulls, event-boss kills, wall falls, first clears, casket jackpots, and live event windows. If something special happens in the Tower, it shows up in that channel.

Server firsts post there too: the first clear of each section by anyone on the server, the first kill of each world boss, and the first walk win over each Wanderer (its walk post says so). A first won at a wall names everyone in the room, and a calm counts as a clear.

The Wanderers' weekly walk §

Each week the server's visits call one of the Tower's Wanderers out. Each climber adds one visit per UTC day, with their first Tower command or button; at 6 visits in a week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) a Wanderer comes out for the rest of that day plus 3 days. If last week's is still out, this week's waits for it to leave. The chronicle posts when it comes out, when someone beats it first, and when it leaves.

Anyone on Floor 1, Section F or later can fight it once a day from /rpg hub action wanderer, scaled to their section or their level, whichever is lower, until they beat it once. It costs no stamina. Its big hit is announced a turn ahead, so Defend it: a Crushing Blow, or its own move when that is a heavy hit. The card shows its moves and what it is weak to. A win pays 1 Tower Casket, up to 200 gold, and EXP, once per walk. A loss charges the usual gold toll and leaves you Battered.

The first win on the server turns on a bonus for everyone for 7 days. Bonuses on different things run together; a newer bonus on the same thing replaces the older one. Bonuses stack with world events, and the two multiply: with Rich Veins on too, side-finds roll at 2.5x the usual odds; with Hot Floors on too, hunts pay 26.5% more EXP; with Hatching Weather on too, the egg chance is 3x the base 0.5%.

Each Wanderer joins the weekly draw once someone on the server reaches the section listed below. The draw never picks last week's Wanderer while another is in it; a server where nobody has reached any of them yet gets the lowest one.

• 🧌 the Toll-Keeper: Floor 1, Section J. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.
• 🗺️ the Cartographer: Floor 1, Section T. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.
• 🪦 the Grave-Lantern: Floor 2, Section B. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.
• 📐 the Surveyor: Floor 2, Section L. First win: gathering side-finds are 25% more likely.
• 🔥 the Kiln Hound: Floor 3, Section C. First win: gathering side-finds are 25% more likely.
• 🦌 the Ghost Deer: Floor 3, Section H. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.
• 🐦‍⬛ the Rook Mother: Floor 3, Section M. First win: eggs are 50% more likely on winning hunts from the Grassy Plains through the Dark Floors.
• 🛞 the Road Keeper: Floor 3, Section R. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.
• 🔔 the Bell Ghost: Floor 3, Section X. First win: hunts pay 10% more EXP.

The wandering terrors (guild bosses) §

Now and then something big starts walking — the chronicle announces it, and it stands for a day or two. Any guild may answer ONCE per sighting from /rpg guild board: a wall-style fight, everyone in one room, 10 stamina each. They never block a floor. They drop loot: a purse, their own signature material (each has a recipe that wants it), a 25% casket roll, and delve marks. The roster: 🐢 the Mossback · 🐦‍⬛ the Stormcrow · 🛡️ the Rust Knight · 🕯️ the Midnight Choir. Legendary hunt event-boss wins can also leave one of these sightings on the guild board. There's no headcount gate — a soloist may answer a sighting. At-band solo wins are exceptionally unlikely, so guildmates are the reliable route; any true kill still counts. Once one member opens the room, guildmates whose personal kill lock is ready can press Join room on the same board. Each entrant pays 10 stamina once; reopening their live room does not charge them again.

Guild halls §

/rpg guild board also shows your guild hall. Members can burn at least 250 gold into the Map Table, Trophy Wall, or Guild Workbench. Project costs grow by 35% per rank, cap at rank 5, and add 1 hall XP per gold. A fund never charges more than the project still takes to reach its last rank, and the minimum drops to that amount when less is left. The treasury reserve, lifetime sunk gold, project ranks, hall level, and top funders are visible social progress only: no stats, drops, access, or boss power.

The bank & public bags §

Your bag is public — anyone can look through it with /rpg gear inventory. Your vault is not: /rpg bank view holds up to 200 stacks that nobody else can see. Stash before you haggle; what the Tower can't see, it can't price. Worn gear can't be banked, and nothing moves in or out mid-fight.

Caskets §

A Tower Casket is a sealed loot box: earned from boss daily rolls, event-boss kills, raid kills, and the wall — never sold. Open one with /rpg gear use, or pick a stack in your bag and press Open all to open up to 100 at once; every casket counts toward the guarantee, the same as opening them one by one. The lid's odds: relic 0.5% · mythic base 0.25% · legendary base 4% · catalyst 14% · materials 35% · free look roll 4% · else 60-200 gold — relic or mythic GUARANTEED by open #40.

Monster prefixes §

4% of ordinary hunts carry a prefix (the spawn ladder's rares and legends stay themselves). A prefixed monster pays extra gold, and the Slayer Master counts it double on a task.

Elite Interrupts §

Separate from the special elite loot ladder, ordinary hunts on Floor 1, Section F+ have a 5% Elite Interrupt chance. Auto-pilot stops, the existing manual boss buttons open, and the pre-fight tell teaches the answer: Defend the heavy telegraph, then punish the opening. Winning settles as a hunt with normal hunt drops and a 1.35x reward nudge; it does not roll special elite unique parts. When you are 4+ levels above the elite's Threat (the gap where hunt rewards start to taper), the auto-pilot fights it for you instead: no manual stop, and it pays as an ordinary hunt.

Threat & affixes §

Monsters do not copy your level. A hunted floor rolls an enemy Threat from that floor's range, then may add visible affixes such as Armored or Evasive. Combat stats and EXP/gold use Threat; gear drops still use the floor band. Farming far below your level tapers EXP and gold: full rewards through a 3-Threat gap, then 0.55×, 0.2×, 0.05×, and 0.01× at a 21+ gap.

The deep (delves) §

/rpg play delve opens a boon-draft push run under your floor: 15 stamina, 2 runs a day, and the Battered don't get in. Each run drafts temporary boons such as 🏃 Sure Steps, 🛡️ Stoneward, 🍲 Packed Rations, 🪨 Mark-Sense. The first cycle is a fight, then a choice — the Vault (agility), the Lock (thieving), the Track (slayer), or just fighting the Door Guard — then the keeper. Door odds are straight math: 55% at your band's pace, 1.5 per level over it, never below 15% or above 90% — and the window shows your number before you pick. A passed door pays loot; a failed one makes the keeper meaner. After a keeper room, draft again, then cash out or push deeper. Each completed wing cycle raises the stakes both ways: 1.12x threat pressure, doors 4% tighter — and every keeper past the first carries a purse 25% fatter per cycle cleared. Whether the deeper pot beats the walk home is yours to read.

Every won room carries a Delve Mark; keeper rooms also carry the keeper's purse, a 20% casket roll, and 12 Slayer EXP. None of that is granted until you bank the run. Marks spend at the sawbench on two trinkets only delvers carry. Dying down there carries death's full weight — the run ends, the day's slot stays spent, and the unbanked haul is gone. The 11 wings are named — the Burrows · the Rootcellar · the Drowned Cellars · the Cinder Mines · the King's Stair · the Underworks · the Jetty Cellars · the Fox Earths · the Chalk Caves · the Old Tunnel · the Root Stair — and that is all the map you get. The deep is found, not spoiled.

Duels §

/duel @pilot [wager] — build vs build, full kit at full HP, no stamina, and the climb never feels it: no death toll, no Battered, nothing. Wagers run 0 to 10,000 gold a side, escrowed when the challenge is accepted; the winner takes both, a draw sends both home. Pick Attack, a skill, or Defend each round — both lock, speed decides who swings first. A silent round Defends itself; three in a row is a forfeit, and so is Concede.

From round 11 the Tower grows impatient: both pilots bleed 2% of max HP, then 4%, then 6% — every duel ends. If both fall in the same breath, whoever carried more blood into it takes the day. Limits: one challenge a minute, five minutes between challenges to the same pilot, and 20 accepted duels you start per day (UTC). Wagers of 1,000+ hit the chronicle, the week's wins run on the Tower board, and Monday crowns the week's Duelist. The Tower does not referee.

The market board §

/rpg market browse opens the order book: open asks, open commissions, last unit fill, and median unit fill share one price read. List from your bag (the vault never feeds it), up to 16 listings, priced 1 to 1,000,000. A sale pays you instantly minus a 5% fee — the vendor pays 40%, so the board wins whenever a buyer exists, and /trade stays the fee-free haggle. Listings expire home after 7 days. Tower Caskets are refused outright: the gacha is earned, never priced.

/rpg hub action requests opens Supply Commissions: post one of up to 16 escrowed gold bounties for tradeable materials, consumables, tools, or one exact gear id, then let another player fill it from their bag. Cancelled and expired commissions refund the buyer; fulfilled commissions pay the seller minus the same 5% fee. The vault and equipped gear never fill requests, and gold buys labor, never skill. If the buyer has Resource active and the filled item matches an active Resource-supply objective on that floor, the commission also counts as that supply proof.

The vendor himself has limited patience: 5 sales of the same item per rolling day (any quantity per sale). The sixth refuses and tells you when he's buying again. The board and /trade have no such limit — surplus belongs to players, not the till.

Enchanting & salvage §

/rpg gear forge has seven sections: Your Gear, Enchant, Salvage, Blacksmithing, Crafting, Cooking, and Alchemy. Each section is a text list of up to 12 rows a page. It opens on what you can do now, plus anything waiting only on stamina or gold; Show all lists the rest with what each one needs, and Find searches item, result, and material names across every section. Identical spare pieces share one row; worn or enchanted pieces always get their own. After an action the same draft stays selected, so you can repeat it. In the recipe sections, Make x1, x5, x10 and Max (up to 25) repeat one recipe; a run stops when something runs out and says how many times it made it. Board adds the picture panel. The four recipe catalogs include every recipe you have unlocked and the next three locked previews; quest-secret recipes stay hidden until their quest reveals them. The Slayer Bench remains in /rpg play train, not the Forge. Work that consumes materials shows the effective fee after mastery discounts and exact owned and required ingredient counts. Salvage instead lists the recipe the piece was made from and previews the possible returns; those recipe quantities are never shown as bag holdings. Refresh takes a new quote; an older action stops if its quoted state has changed.

The Forge breaks unequipped gear only after you confirm the exact piece and returns Essence scaled by band and rarity (common gear yields 1–4 by material band; nothing pumps). Gear with a known recipe previews 40–60% of what built it and converts that published roll into an exact integer return range, rounded down but at least one of each part. A piece made only from single parts (one of each) gives back all but its most valuable part, so salvage never gives back all the parts a piece was made from. Gear with no known recipe says so and returns Essence only. Enchanting rolls one affix onto a piece: essence (3/5/8/12 by band) + one slot catalyst (gemstone, amber, or pearl) + 15% of the piece's price (min 25) + 5 stamina (a train's worth). A new roll replaces the old one, so replacing an affix asks you to confirm first. High-fee work also keeps its exact quote through confirmation. A completed Forge result can be shown again after an interrupted response without moving the same materials, stamina, or gold twice. Published tables, weights and all:

Weapon

Armor

Trinket

Strategy

Every monster, boss, route, and quest here lists the same things: its role, the mechanics it brings, how to counter them, what it pays, and where it sits in your climb. Hidden patterns stay hidden; the planning rules don't.
