A vast world with something to do everywhere
The world is vast and open, and fun to explore. You pick up what interests you, from gathering and hunting to trading, fishing, and cooking, with alchemy mixed in as well.
Farming, sailing, horse training, alchemy, and crafting sit alongside combat, so you can spend an evening on trading and fishing instead of fights.
Fast action combat and guild castle wars
Combat has no target lock. You react quickly and stay in control as you string commands into combos. That direct, fast-paced fighting is a highlight, whether you are clearing monsters or facing massive world bosses.
Guilds take it further. You team up with friends for castle sieges, meeting rival guilds in direct clashes on the battlefield. A win puts your guild in charge as lords, with taxes and resources to hold. The trade-off is progression: moving forward takes a long grind of repeated monster killing.
Your character, your look, a detailed world
You build your look with deep customization. Height, face, skin texture, and fine details are all adjustable, and there is a variety of classes to choose from.
Scenery and environments are spectacular and realistic, with remastered graphics and audio.
What else should you know?
How does the action combat work?
There is no target lock. You stay on the move and think fast, keeping your handling tight as you link one attack into the next. It suits players who would rather react and chain moves than lock onto targets.
What do guilds fight for?
Guilds fight large-scale wars head-to-head, including sieges to take castles. Victory has a clear reward: the winning guilds become lords, with control over taxes and resources.
Does progressing take a long time?
Yes, especially after the early game. Progress means a long grind of repeated monster killing, and late game is harder to move through than the start. Paying real money speeds it up.
