Sign in with your account name and password. A missing name creates an account only when it contains 5 to 25 Unicode code points: Unicode letters, ordinary spaces or digits 0-9, with -, _ and ' also allowed inside the name. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed before validation; internal spaces are kept. -, _ and ' cannot be the first or last character; repeated internal separators are allowed. Other punctuation, emojis, non-ASCII digits and separate combining marks are not allowed in new names. Existing accounts keep their names and can still sign in even when the name does not meet the creation rule. Matching remains case-insensitive under the existing lowercase mapping. Use the same spelling when you return.

Move with the physical WASD positions (ZQSD on AZERTY) or the arrow keys and hold Shift to sprint. The primary attack follows your equipped weapon; the right mouse button uses your selected magic. E interacts with nearby objects. Attacks and spells take priority over movement for facing. A primary attack must finish its own recovery before it can start again; Haste and Frozen affect that recovery when the attack starts.

Open the inventory with Tab. Drag an item to its matching equipment slot, or drag a potion or an item granting a spell to one of the four quick slots. Press its assigned key to drink the potion or cast the spell toward the world cursor. Clicking a spell shortcut uses the last world aim; no cast is sent without a valid aim. A spell shortcut does not require equipping or consume its item, and locked copies can cast. It uses the highest spell-level copy currently owned (lowest stack ID breaks ties), with the normal mana cost and cast timing. A slot follows the item type rather than one stack; depleted bindings remain assigned and work again when that item is acquired. Right-click a shortcut to clear it. A spell shares its own cooldown across weapon, equipped-spell and quick-slot casting; switching the source does not bypass it. The cooldown starts when a cast is accepted, and a rejected attempt spends neither mana nor a new cooldown. Favorite potions remain usable by quick key, clicking the shortcut or Use item; the remaining stack keeps its lock and potency. Hotbar stock includes locked, unreserved doses. Hover details reuse the inventory information for the selected owned spell or the first usable potion, including its real progression or potency. Empty or depleted bindings never retain an old exemplar's statistics.

Accepted spells whose initial cooldown exceeds one second show an icon and remaining time in the Cooldowns row immediately above the quick-slot bar. The row follows the actual bar bounds; it wraps on small screens and folds excess display entries rather than covering the shortcuts. Weapon, equipped-spell and quick-slot casts share the same action timer, even when items are rebound. A rejected attempt does not start or restart it. The display continues through the last second, vanishes at expiry and never grants permission to cast: the server remains authoritative.

Quick keys use the physical top row, so an AZERTY keyboard does not require Shift. The Game menu lets you reassign them. Escape first cancels a drag or closes the active layer; with nothing left to close, it opens the menu. Cancelling an alchemy material drag keeps Preparation open and leaves the recipe and inventory unchanged. The multiplayer world never pauses.

M toggles the explored map, Enter opens chat, V toggles life bars for players and monsters and H toggles hitboxes and live entity skeletons. Anatomical left bones are cyan, right bones magenta, the central chain white, and attachment sockets gold. P requests a PvP state change and O opens the server-wide online roster (name and effective PvP state only). Keyboard shortcuts are suppressed while you type or perform an incompatible UI interaction.

The compass marks logical north with N (upper-left in the isometric projection). The independent gold marker tracks the world origin; inside a dungeon it tracks a discovered exit, without revealing an unknown exit.

Open chat to use private player commands such as /help, /where, /stats and /spawn. Tab completion and Up/Down history belong to chat only, not to gameplay shortcuts.

Use the inventory tabs to browse All, Equipment, Spells, Consumables, Souls or Materials. Spells contains items equipped in the spell slot; weapons that grant spells, such as Bone Staff, stay under Equipment. Search and sorting work within the selected tab. In All, sorting by Type groups spells separately from equipment. From Spells, double-click a spell or drag it to the spell slot to equip it, or drag it to a quick slot to bind it. Tab closes an open inventory even when its widgets have focus, cancelling local drag/drop/split dialogs without changing items. Chat keeps Tab completion. Loose items show their inventory identity icon; a neutral question mark is shown only while an image is unavailable. Drag one unlocked backpack stack onto another with the same complete identity to merge them, or use Stack all to compact compatible stacks across the whole inventory, even while a tab or search hides some items. Equipped copies stay reserved, the destination ID survives and any overflow remains in the source; locked stacks and fused souls are not merged. Locking potions, consumables or materials protects the whole stack without allocating a new slot, while equipment, spell-bearing items and souls keep individual-exemplar protection. Locks still prevent dropping, splitting, merging, manual salvage and material spending; intentional potion use is separate. The client sends a request and waits for the saved authoritative inventory instead of changing quantities locally.

The Equipment panel shows the average level of your occupied equipment slots, including the equipped soul as one entry. Each equipped item counts once, regardless of stack quantity. For an item with both equipment and spell progression, its highest level is used. Empty slots and items in the backpack do not lower or raise the average. The value updates with your inventory and is shown to one decimal place; an empty loadout displays 0.0. This is a summary value, not an additional combat bonus.

Use the Wiki button in the corner of the Web client to open the codex. There is no wiki keyboard shortcut or shortcut preference. Wiki, Play, Discord and Support the game open an isolated new tab only on request. Movement remains physical WASD/ZQSD; opening a community link does not change inventory or character statistics.

Large gameplay numbers use compact notation: 1,200 becomes 1k2, 1,200,000 becomes 1m2 and 1,200,000,000 becomes 1b2. Values below 1,000 keep their normal numeric precision; exact levels and editable quantities remain numeric. Very large values use scientific notation. This changes labels only, never stored quantities or transaction costs. Inventory quantities and currency costs use unsigned 64-bit integers: at most 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 per stack or counter. Aggregate counters and quadratic prices saturate at that boundary; overflowing transactions are refused. Drop and split dialogs accept exact decimal integers with a Max button. Soul levels remain unsigned 32-bit integers, independently of currency limits. An inventory holds at most 10,000 stacks. At that limit, an operation needing another stack is refused without losing its items; adding to an available matching stack or freeing a stack can still succeed.

Natural souls are generated from soul-template items in the authored loot tables. A soul drop and a fragment drop are separate entries: one is not a fallback for the other. Equip one soul in the special Soul slot to gain its passive bonuses. Carrying an unequipped soul does not grant those bonuses. For an eligible non-guaranteed soul entry from a Normal monster of level M, chance is min(8%, 2.5% + 0.1% × (M−1)), multiplied by 1/1.5/3 for Normal/Elite/Boss. Minimum levels and zero-chance exclusions still apply. Guaranteed entries retain their level gate and certainty. Containers keep their authored chances. Monster fragment entries keep their chance and draw the authored base quantity q, then yield round(q × M^1.5 × R), with R = 1/2/4 for Normal/Elite/Boss and unsigned 64-bit saturation. Container quantities do not scale.

A natural soul records its monster identity and its own soul level. Souls with the same identity and level can stack; different levels cannot. Soul drops can reach the source monster's full level, with a minimum of 1 and no species cap. A level-50 or level-500 monster can drop a soul of level 50 or 500 respectively. Conditional on a successful drop, level k from 1 through source level M has weight 1 / (k + 0.1 × M)^2, normalized over that range. This same distribution applies to equipment and standalone spells. These are conditional level probabilities, not per-kill drop chances. Sampling remains bounded at extreme source levels.

At a Soul Altar, spend Soul Fragments to attempt one +1 upgrade or use Upgrade to max on one exemplar, including fused souls. Each paid attempt has a 1% chance to recycle that soul at its pre-failure level and stop the batch. Successful steps retain the existing progression rules. The upgrade from level L to L+1 costs base upgrade cost × L² + floor(base upgrade cost × (L−1)² / 4) Soul Fragments. The extra cost gradually approaches 25%; the first upgrade retains its original price. At level L, natural and fused soul damage, defense, life and mana bonuses use (1 + 0.3 × (L−1))^1.5. Critical chance and critical damage bonuses use 1 + 0.6 × ln(L); dodge bonuses use 1 + 0.25 × ln(L), while regeneration percentage bonuses use 1 + 0.15 × ln(L). All multipliers equal one at level one. The per-soul tables are exported from the same resolver used by the altar, including rounding, level limits and integer saturation.

An equipped soul may be upgraded; its equipment reservation follows a successful upgrade and is removed if it breaks. Locked souls may be upgraded or selected for fusion, and the lock does not protect them from the confirmed risk. Manual dismantling of locked souls remains blocked. Locked payment fragments are never spent. Natural and fused souls have no gameplay upgrade cap. Costs follow the quadratic curve and saturate at the integer currency limit; levels retain the technical u32 storage boundary. Extremely large bonuses saturate at a finite numeric ceiling with headroom for critical-hit arithmetic. The wiki lists reference levels 1–100, not a maximum level.

Dismantling consumes the selected unreserved units and returns generic Soul Fragments. At level L, the per-unit yield is floor(base cost × (1 + sum of k² for k from 1 through L−1) / (2 × 2)), with a minimum of one and saturation at the integer currency limit after division. Rounding happens before multiplying by stack quantity. Salvage uses the original quadratic valuation; the additional upgrade charge is not refunded. Only completed levels enter the refund, so upgrading then dismantling cannot create fragments. Existing souls use this new valuation; historical payments are not tracked. Removing a whole stack multiplies that per-unit yield; equipped units cannot be dismantled.

Fusion accepts two available, unreserved souls, including locked candidates. After confirmation it has a 60% success chance and 40% failure chance. Success consumes both candidates and produces one unique fused instance using the existing result rules. Failure recycles exactly those two units at their current normal fragment yields, with no result soul. Equipped exemplars remain excluded. Two units of the same stack are allowed when both are available; no other copies are consumed. There is no extra fragment fee. On success, the result level is drawn inclusively between the two parent levels.

Both parents' bonuses are evaluated at the result level before attributes are selected. The result retains at least the larger parent's number of non-zero attributes and at most their union. Counts have descending weights: 50, 30, 15, 5, then successive halvings. When possible, an exclusive attribute from each parent is retained. A shared attribute is drawn between the two scaled parent values; an exclusive attribute retains its parent's scaled value.

The historical bonus-growth and upgrade-cost-growth fields remain readable for save compatibility but no longer determine progression. All souls share the configured stat-family curves. Neither parent imposes a level cap on the fused soul. The base upgrade cost is the rounded geometric mean, with a minimum of one. Fusion interpolates level-one bases directly, mathematically equivalent to interpolating at the result level with each shared family multiplier, without dividing saturated high-level values. Existing fused souls preserve their saved precise level-one traits, level, identity and provenance; their current bonuses are recalculated under the loaded rules. Values already lost to historical saturation cannot be reconstructed from parent names.

Fused souls never stack and can be fused again. Their bounded names are based on the dominant normalized bonus family: Ravage, Arcane, Bastion, Shadow, Vitality or Source; near ties use Confluence. Parent names are retained as provenance rather than concatenated into an endlessly growing title.

Player soul auras were removed in R34.8.1 and are not rendered or previewed by the current game. Soul statistics, natural-soul bonuses and fusion behavior are unchanged by that visual removal. Elite and Boss rank auras are a separate retained legacy procedural presentation with no authored sprite sequence; the wiki reports that absence instead of reconstructing, capturing or fabricating a replacement.
