Player mechanics

Systems made simple.

A compact overview of progression, professions, economy, Towny, travel and outlaw systems. In-game menus remain the live source of truth for exact values.

VStats

Health, Speed, Strength, Stamina and Defence are long-term character stats. Use /stats, /skills and /levelup.

  • Main stat cap: 25
  • Profession cap: 100
  • Daily XP cap applies

Professions

Blacksmithing, Fishing, Farming, Lumbering, Enchanting, Cooking, Mining and Alchemy each unlock bonuses and specialised systems.

  • Practise normal gameplay to gain XP
  • Use profession commands for details

Economy

Vastala uses player trade, town economies, regional markets, NPC contracts and resource demand.

  • Check prices before selling
  • Move goods between regions
  • Do not assume every city pays the same

Towns & Nations

Towny protects land and creates the political map. Nations are expected to expand through active, believable settlements.

  • Ask before settling near another realm
  • Read the Expansion rules
  • Outposts are heavily restricted

Travel

Use ferries, roads and waypoints to move across the world. The live BlueMap is available for OOC navigation.

  • Unlock travel routes in game

Outlaw Systems

Hedgeknights may access banditry, smuggling and mercenary play while remaining outside normal town membership.

  • Read the full banditry rulebook
  • Robbery requires interaction
  • Safe zones remain protected

Alchemy

Combine a water base, a main ingredient and support ingredients at the Alchemy Table. Higher tiers unlock stronger and stranger brews.

  • Vanilla brewing rules may differ
  • Use the Brewbook for recipes

Fishing

Level fishing, fill the journal, complete contracts, chase records and use the Shimmershore Wharf.
