No Two Adventurers Alike
Gear Up. Stand Out.
Every weapon, armor piece, Hat, Metal and Gem you equip changes how your character looks in the world — not just on a stat sheet.
The Duelist
Dragon Shield · Tunic · Honed Spear
A Special Metal recolors your weapon and wraps it in a glow only the toughest gear earns.
The Marksman
Leather Armor · Poison Crossbow
Every Metal has its own color. Spot one across the map and you know what you're facing.
Kingdom Armory
Limited Cosmetic Set · Ruby
Limited-run swag changes nothing on your stat sheet — and everything about how you're remembered.
The Frost Mage
Zagharu Frost Armory
Monster swag sets, Trophy Hats, and monthly Platinum themes — collect the look you want.

Influence grows with every Kingdom Flag, Tower, and Obelisk. Each Monday the #1 Kingdom takes the Influence Crown and 10,000 Bricks, and its Ruler wins the King Score Hat.

From the Devlog
All updates →Creatures of the Deep: Lorelei, the Drowning Song
The Queen of the Sirens has risen. One in the whole world at a time, announced to everyone, built for a crew — and she leaves Siren's Tear Shards for all who help bring her down. Her Tears make Siren Metal, which silences monsters.
Cave Fields and the Explorer Map
Caves no longer sit in every corner of the map. They gather in rare Cave fields, dozens together and guarded by Troodonts, that you have to go out and find. Explorers can now record the places they find on an Explorer Map.
Creatures of the Deep: Tar Slicks and the Siren's Song
Phase two of the sea monsters: the slippery, corrosive Tar Slick and the Siren, whose song pulls travellers in. Bring Wax Earplugs. Lorelei, the Queen of the Sirens, comes next.
