Verified so far

  • Combat is turn-based and uses resources, buffs, and equipment.
  • Players can customize character and home.
  • Difficulty includes a cozier path and a harder Old Gods path.
  • Farming, fishing, mining, foraging, and cooking are confirmed activities that can feed preparation.

Not yet catalogued

  • No verified weapon/armor tier list, skill tree values, or “best DPS” rankings.
  • No patch-versioned planner data is published on this site.
  • Any third-party “meta” posts should be treated as unverified until reproduced against official notes or first-hand testing logged here.

Playstyle lanes (not MMO classes)

Use these lanes as planning prompts. They are not official class names.

  • Farm-forward: prioritize crop and livestock loops to stabilize resources before harder fights.
  • Combat-forward: emphasize equipment, buffs, and turn resource management in creature encounters.
  • Mystery-forward: balance investigation time in town, mall dungeon, mines, and wilds with base upkeep.
  • Old Gods challenge: expect the harder difficulty path; keep builds conservative until numbers are verified.

What a responsible build note needs

  1. Game version / patch identifier (not yet tracked here).
  2. Difficulty setting (cozy vs Old Gods).
  3. Equipment and buff list with sources for each claim.
  4. Encounter context (farm defense, dungeon, bosses — only when named officially).
