The Archive
The Vault is now the Archive: your account's home, still reached with /vault or the vault portal. The middle hall keeps the vault chests, the gift chests and the mission board; four stations open off it:
- Smithy (east): crafts bare gear for the class of the character visiting.
- Alchemy Lab (west): trades stat potions for other stat potions.
- Expedition Office (south): crafts the keys of the dungeons you have charts for.
- Academy (north): closed for now, behind iron bars.
Every recipe stands on a pedestal. Walk onto it and a panel shows what it makes, the price and a button (Craft, Exchange, Unlock or Accept); you have to stand on or right next to it.
Two currencies
- Fame buys unlocks, once, for the whole account. It is the account fame your characters earn when they die.
- Gold pays for each craft: a piece of gear, a key. Character challenges pay gold when a challenged character dies.
An unlock can also come from an achievement a character earns in its life, a mission taken at the board, or a blueprint dropped by a dungeon boss. Any one path is enough.
Unlocks
Account-wide and permanent: any one path unlocks it for every character. Fame is the account fame your characters' deaths fill.
