Game Guide

Wallet Sign-In

Skyborn uses your wallet as your identity. Click Play, pick a wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.), and sign a one-time challenge message. This proves you own the wallet — it never moves any funds or costs gas.

• Your wallet address = your account.
• Two browser tabs on the same wallet = the same account (the first session is disconnected).
• Incognito or a different browser = a fresh wallet = a different account.

The $SKY Island Gate

Looking around the lobby is free. To claim your own sky island and start the full game loop, you spend ~$1 in $SKY tokens (one time). This unlocks:

• Your personal island (gathering, building, crafting, cooking)
• Equipment, stats, and combat access
• The player market and all economy features

What Gets Saved

All progress is stored server-side — you can close the browser and come back any time:

• Island layout, buildings, resources
• Inventory, equipment, upgrade tiers
• Class, level, stats, skills
• Gold balance
• Daily quest progress, buff timers, leaderboard records

Stay Safe

• Never share your wallet seed phrase. Skyborn will never ask for it.
• Sign-in is just a signature — no transaction, no approval popup.
• On-chain features ($SKY purchase, market escrow) always show a clear transaction prompt in your wallet before anything moves.

Spawning In

After choosing your class and picking a nickname, you land on your island. The guided tutorial walks you through the basics in 10 steps:

1. Equip your wooden axe and pickaxe
2. Chop a tree (hold E near it)
3. Mine a stone node
4. Build the Cauldron at your tent
5. Plant a seed in the garden
6. Harvest your crop
7. Cook food at the Cauldron
8. Pack food into your combat loadout
9. Use the portal to travel to Sky City
10. Accept a quest and fight your first boss

Recommended First Actions

• Gather everything — trees and stones respawn on cooldowns, so keep cycling them.
• Build the Cauldron first (1 wood + 1 stone) — it unlocks cooking, which gives you healing food for combat.
• Plant seeds immediately — garden plots grow in real time (2 minutes), so start early.
• Pick your loadout before entering combat — you can carry up to 3 food items that auto-heal you during boss fights.

What to Avoid Early

• Don’t rush the Boss Gate without food — you’ll get knocked out and wait 2 minutes.
• Don’t sell your only weapon or tools at a vendor — you need them to progress.
• Don’t spend Gold on island growth before you have solid gear — combat upgrades pay off faster.

Tip: The Free First-Boss Revive

Your very first boss attempt gives you a free revive on knockout. Use it to learn the fight without risk.

Movement

• Click anywhere on the map to walk there (pathfinding).
• Your character auto-paths around obstacles.

Interaction

• E — interact with the nearest object (tree, stone, building, NPC, portal).
• Click a building or NPC directly to open its menu.

Camera

• Mouse wheel or +/− buttons — zoom in/out on the island and lobby maps.
• The camera follows your character; zooming adjusts the viewport around you.

Combat (Wildlands)

• Click a mob to target it.
• Number keys (1–4) — activate your skills (when unlocked).
• E — quick-eat food from your bag to heal.

UI Shortcuts

• Character panel is always visible on the right — equipment, inventory, stats.
• Drag & drop items between inventory and equipment slots to equip/unequip.
• Click an empty equipment slot to see the best item you own for that slot, with an EQUIP button.

Mobile

Touch controls work the same way — tap to move, tap objects to interact, pinch to zoom. The UI adapts to smaller screens automatically.

What Is Your Island?

Every player owns a floating sky island. It’s your personal base where you gather resources, build crafting stations, tend a garden, cook food, and manage your gear. Nobody else can visit or modify it — it’s yours alone.

Layout

The island uses a three-column layout:

• Left column — BUILD menu (place buildings), resource counts, Gold balance
• Centre — the zoomable map showing your island grid (grass platform over sea)
• Right column — character panel (equipment, inventory, stats, loadout)

The Portal

A portal sits in the top-right corner of your island. Walk to it and press E to travel to Sky City (the lobby), where you’ll find vendors, the boss gate, the player market, the Wildlands entrance, and other players.

You can return to your island at any time via the lobby portal.

Starting Size

Your island starts as an 8×8 grass platform floating on the sea. You can grow it over time (see Growing Your Island) up to a maximum of 24×24.

Offline Progress

Resource nodes (trees, stones) respawn based on real time. If you log out and come back later, anything whose cooldown has passed will be ready to harvest again.

How Gathering Works

Walk next to a tree or stone node and press E (or click it). A progress bar appears — once it fills, you receive the resource and XP. The node then goes on cooldown before it can be harvested again.

Tool Tiers

Your gathering speed depends on the tool you own (equipped OR in your bag):

Tool	Gather Time (tree)	Gather Time (stone)
Wooden axe / pickaxe	3.0s / 4.0s	—
Stone axe / pickaxe	1.8s / 2.4s	—
Metal axe / pickaxe	Fastest	—

You start with a wooden axe and pickaxe. Craft upgrades at the Forge.

Cooldowns

• Tree — 30 seconds between harvests
• Stone — 45 seconds between harvests

Cooldowns tick in real time, even while you’re offline.

Yields

Each harvest gives:

• Tree — 1 wood + 8 XP
• Stone — 1 stone + 10 XP

With the Yield buff active (+1 gather), you get 2 per harvest instead of 1.

Seed Drops

Trees have a 20% chance to drop a vegetable seed when chopped. Seeds are how you start farming — plant them in your garden to grow crops for cooking.

Level-2 Gathering Gate

Some nodes in the Wildlands (the combat zone) require a level-2 gathering tool to harvest. Upgrade your tools at the Forge before venturing out.

The Home Tent

Your tent sits at the centre of the island. Click it to open the build menu with two tabs:

• BUILD — place new crafting stations
• GROW — expand your island (see Growing Your Island)

Crafting Stations

Station	Cost	Island Level Required	What It Does
Cauldron	1 wood + 1 stone	1	Cook food from harvested crops
Garden	15 wood + 10 stone	1	Plant seeds, grow and harvest vegetables
Forge	50 stone	3	Craft weapons, armor, shields, and tools
Carpentry	60 wood + 20 stone	4	Craft wooden items, class gear, and materials

Stations that require a higher island level show “NEED LVL N” and are greyed out until you grow your island enough.

Placing Buildings

After selecting a station from the BUILD tab, click an empty grass tile to place it. Buildings take up space and have collision — your character walks around them.

The Cauldron (Cooking)

The Cauldron combines crops into food:

• Veg Stew — 2 vegetables = +50 HP heal

Food goes into your inventory. Pack it into your loadout (up to 3 slots) before combat — it auto-heals you when your HP drops below 40%.

The Garden

• 4 planting plots per garden
• Plant a seed → wait 2 minutes (real time) → harvest for 2 vegetables + 15 XP
• Harvesting has a 25% chance to return a seed, so you never fully run out

The Forge

Craft tools (stone/metal axe and pickaxe), weapons (class-specific), armor, and shields. Higher-tier recipes unlock as you level up and gather rarer materials.

Carpentry

Craft wooden items, class set pieces, and refined materials. The Carpentry also has a MATERIALS tab for processing raw drops into crafting components.

Seed Exchange (Cauldron)

At the Cauldron, you can convert 20 tree saplings into 1 vegetable seed if you’re running low. Saplings drop from trees and have no other use.

How Growth Works

Open your tent and go to the GROW tab. Each growth level adds one ring of tiles on every side of your island, increasing it by 2 in each dimension.

Island Level	Size	Gold Cost
1 (start)	8×8	—
2	10×10	100 Gold
3	12×12	200 Gold
4	14×14	300 Gold
5	16×16	400 Gold
…	…	100 × level
Max	24×24	—

Each growth adds a new stone node on the freshly revealed land. Your existing buildings and nodes stay in place — new coast tiles appear around the edges.

Requirements

• You must not be knocked out to grow your island.
• You need enough Gold to pay the cost.

Decoration Mode

Press the MOVE button next to the zoom controls to enter decoration mode:

1. The camera zooms out to show your whole island with a tile grid overlay.
2. Your character freezes in place.
3. Click any building or node to pick it up — it becomes a ghost that follows your cursor.
4. Click an empty tile to place it there.
5. Press EXIT to leave decoration mode.

Rules:

• The portal cannot be moved (it stays pinned to the top-right corner).
• Objects can only be placed on empty grass tiles (not coast, not occupied).
• All moves are validated server-side.

Why Grow?

• More space for buildings and future stations
• Higher island level unlocks crafting station placement (Forge at L3, Carpentry at L4)
• Ore nodes appear at island level 5+
• Aesthetics — arrange your island however you like with decoration mode

Choosing a Class

On your first login, you pick one of three classes. This is permanent — it determines your stat spread, weapon line, skills, and which gear you can equip.

Knight

The frontline tank. High Strength and Stamina, low magic.

STR	ACC	INT	STA	Base Power
8	3	1	8	20

• Weapon line — Swords (stone sword, metal sword, class knight weapons)
• Passive — Reduced damage taken (planned)
• Playstyle — High HP pool, strong melee hits, survives boss AoE

Ranger

The precision striker. High Accuracy, balanced Speed.

STR	ACC	INT	STA	Base Power
4	9	2	5	18

• Weapon line — Bows (stone bow, metal bow, class ranger weapons)
• Passive — Increased crit chance (planned)
• Playstyle — Consistent damage, critical hits scale well with upgrades

Mage

The spell caster. High Intelligence, glass cannon.

STR	ACC	INT	STA	Base Power
1	3	10	4	16

• Weapon line — Wands (stone wand, metal wand, class mage weapons)
• Passive — AoE cooldown reduction (planned)
• Playstyle — Highest skill damage, lowest base HP — relies on food and buffs to survive

What Doesn’t Change

All three classes can:

• Gather, build, craft, and cook equally
• Access the same islands, lobby, vendors, and market
• Party with any other class in co-op bosses
• Wear universal gear (leather set, stone armor)

Class-Specific Gear

Each class has a dedicated armor set (helm, armor, boots, shield) that only they can equip. These are crafted at the Forge/Carpentry and provide the strongest stat bonuses for their archetype.

Gaining XP

Almost everything you do grants experience:

Activity	XP
Chop a tree	8
Mine a stone	10
Harvest a crop	15
Cook food	20
Craft an item	25
Kill a Wildlands mob	Varies by mob level
Win a boss fight	Boss EXP (split in co-op by damage share)

The XP buff (+25%) multiplies all sources while active.

Level-Up Curve

Each level requires more XP than the last:

XP to next level = 100 x (current level)^1.5

Early levels come fast; later levels require real commitment.

Stat Points

Every level-up grants +1 unspent stat point. Open your character panel and allocate it to one of four stats:

Stat	What It Does
STR (Strength)	Increases Power (melee damage)
ACC (Accuracy)	Increases Power + crit chance
INT (Intelligence)	Increases Power (spell damage)
STA (Stamina)	Increases max HP (+10 HP per point)

All four stats contribute to Power regardless of class, but each class benefits more from their primary stat through weapon scaling.

Derived Stats

Your combat effectiveness comes from two derived values:

• Power = Base Power + 2 x (STR + ACC + INT + STA) + 10 x weapon tier + 8 x armor tier
• Max HP = 50 + 10 x STA

Equipped gear adds to your stats before these formulas calculate, so upgrading equipment is as impactful as leveling.

Skills

Each class has combat skills usable in the Wildlands:

• Skills cost mana to cast (mana regenerates over time)
• Each skill has a cooldown between uses
• Skills gain levels with use — higher skill level = stronger effect
• Max skill level is capped

Invest in skills that match your playstyle — AoE for farming mobs, single-target for lair bosses.

Crit Chance

Accuracy contributes to critical hit chance, capped at 50%. Crits deal bonus damage in Wildlands combat and boss fights.

Equipment Slots

Your character has 6 gear slots:

Slot	What Goes There
Helm	Head armor (leather, class set)
Armor	Body armor (stone, leather, metal, class set)
Legs	Leg armor (leather, class set)
Boots	Footwear (leather, class set)
Left Hand	Shield (bone, spirit, class)
Right Hand	Weapon (class-specific)

Plus two Gathering slots (axe and pickaxe) that speed up resource collection.

Gear Tiers

Equipment progresses through distinct tiers:

Tier	Source	Example
Wooden	Starting gear	Wooden axe, wooden sword
Stone	Forge crafting (wood + stone)	Stone sword, stone armor
Leather	Carpentry (leather + planks)	Leather helm, boots, armor
Class Set	Forge/Carpentry (class materials)	Knight helm, ranger boots
Metal	Forge (metal ore, island L4+)	Metal sword, metal armor

Higher tiers give more stat bonuses and increase your Power/HP through the armor tier multiplier.

How to Equip

• Drag an item from your inventory to the matching slot.
• Click an empty slot to see your best available item with a one-click EQUIP button.
• Drag a worn item to your bag to unequip it.

Equipping is instant — no delay, no cost.

Stat Bonuses from Gear

Every piece of equipped gear grants attribute bonuses:

• Weapons — +1/+3/+5 to your class’s primary stat (wooden/stone/metal)
• Stone armor — +2 STA
• Metal armor — +3 STA
• Leather set — +1 STA (helm), +1 STA +1 ACC (armor), +1 ACC (boots)
• Shields — +2 STA (bone) or +2 INT (spirit)
• Class sets — strongest bonuses, class-locked

These flow into your Power and Max HP calculations.

Scroll Upgrades (+1 to +6)

Any equippable item can be upgraded with scrolls:

• Buy scrolls from the Boss Trader using artifacts
• Each tier has a success chance: +1 (100%) → +2 (90%) → +3 (75%) → +4 (55%) → +5 (45%) → +6 (30%)
• Failure at +5 drops the item one tier; failure at +6 destroys the item
• A Blessed Scroll protects against destruction on +5/+6 attempts
• Successful upgrades add random affixes (bonus stats) on top of the base bonuses

Upgraded items show their tier in the name (e.g. “Stone Sword +3”) and gain rarity colour upgrades in tooltips.

Where to Get Gear

Source	What You Get
Starting kit	Wooden axe + pickaxe
Forge	Stone/metal weapons, armor, tools
Carpentry	Leather set, class set pieces, materials
Vendors	Buy stone weapons, class gear (Gold)
Player Market	Any tradeable item from other players
Boss drops	Artifacts (sell for Gold to buy gear)

What Are the Wildlands?

The Wildlands is a shared open combat zone accessible from Sky City. It’s where you fight mobs, earn materials, level up skills, and find dungeon entrances. Unlike boss fights, combat here is real-time and skill-based.

How to Enter

Walk to the Wildlands Gate in Sky City and press E. You’ll be placed in an instance with up to 25 other players. Each instance runs independently — if one is full, a new one is created.

Combat System

The Wildlands uses tab-target combat:

1. Click a mob to target it — a highlight appears around it
2. Your character auto-attacks at melee/ranged range (depending on class)
3. Use skills (1–4) for burst damage, stuns, heals, or AoE
4. Press E to quick-eat food from your bag when HP is low
5. Kill the mob to collect loot and XP

Mob Behaviour

• Aggressive mobs (red aggro radius) attack on sight — stay clear until you’re ready
• Leash range — mobs return to their spawn and heal if you pull them too far
• Mobs respawn on a timer after death (40s to 80s depending on type)

Damage Types & Weaknesses

Each mob resists one damage type (×0.5) and is weak to another (×1.6):

• Melee — Knight attacks
• Ranged — Ranger attacks
• Magic — Mage attacks

Matching your class to a mob’s weakness makes fights significantly faster.

Loot

Mobs drop crafting materials (Monster Hide, Beast Fang, Spirit Essence), boss keys, and food. They do NOT drop artifacts — those are boss-exclusive.

Sell materials at the Boss Trader in Sky City for Gold, or use them to craft gear.

Tips

• Bring cooked food — you’ll need to heal between pulls
• Target mobs weak to your class first
• Watch for the lair entrances (watchtower, hut, shrine) — they lead to instanced dungeons
• If you die, you get knocked out and return to the lobby with a 2-minute timer
• Level-2 gathering nodes in the Wildlands require upgraded tools

Boss Overview

Bosses are co-op team fights — the primary endgame content. You enter through the Boss Gate in Sky City, form or join a party (1–5 players), and fight together in a turn-based arena.

How to Enter

1. Walk to the Boss Gate in Sky City
2. Choose Create (pick a boss + max party size) or Join an open lobby
3. In the waiting room, equip food in your loadout and review your party
4. The host clicks Start (or it auto-starts when full)

Boss Tiers

Bosses are divided into three tiers of five:

• Tier I (bosses 1–5) — levels 1–5, entry-level co-op
• Tier II (bosses 6–10) — levels 7–15, mid-game challenge
• Tier III (bosses 11–15) — levels 18–30, full-party endgame

Each tier requires its own key to enter (consumed per player on join, refunded if you leave before the fight starts).

Combat Mechanics

• Turn-based single strikes — players and the boss alternate attacks
• Shared boss HP pool — everyone’s damage contributes
• Boss damage split by √(alive players) — bigger parties take less per head
• Food auto-heals when your HP drops below 40%
• Enrage timer — after a set number of turns, the boss goes berserk (skill every turn at ×1.5 damage)
• Boss miss chance — 15% of boss attacks miss

Rewards

On victory, rewards are split by damage contribution:

• EXP — boss XP pool divided by share
• Artifacts — Ember Shards, Ancient Relics, Boss Cores (rolled per the drop table)

Artifacts sell at the Boss Trader for Gold, or fuel upgrade scrolls and raid buffs.

The Full Boss Ladder

Tips

• Bring a full loadout of food (3 slots) — auto-heal keeps you alive through AoE
• Party up for Tier II+ — at-level solo is designed to lose (enrage timer)
• Higher bosses drop more and rarer artifacts — push as high as your gear allows
• Boss keys drop from Wildlands mobs and can be crafted at the Key Forge

What Are Lairs?

Lairs are instanced multi-floor dungeons found within the Wildlands. Each has themed mobs, progressively harder floors, and a solo boss at the end. They use the same combat system as the overworld but in enclosed spaces.

The Three Lairs

Logger’s Hut (Stone Golems)

• Entrance: Hunter’s outpost door in the Wildlands
• Mobs: Stone Golem (L12), Runic Golem (L14)
• Boss: Golem Overlord (L15) — solo floor in the cellar
• Resist: Melee | Weak to: Magic

Tyrant’s Roost (Orc Warband)

• Entrance: Ruined watchtower door
• Floors: 3 (floor 1–2 trash mobs, floor 3 = boss)
• Mobs: Orc Berserker (L13), Orc Warhound (L12), Orc Veteran (L15)
• Boss: Orc Berserker General (L17) — solo floor
• Resist: Ranged | Weak to: Magic

Umbral Altar (Void Cult)

• Entrance: Nature shrine door
• Mobs: Void Cultist (L17), Void Zealot (L19)
• Boss: Cult Hierophant (L22) — at the rune circle
• Resist: Varies | Weak to: Melee

How Doors Work

Lair doors are bidirectional — you can go in and come back out. When you enter, you spawn at the matching arrival point on the other side. Exits are themed doorways, not portals.

Lair Bosses

Lair bosses are oversized versions of the regular mobs in that lair (same sprite, bigger). They sit on their own solo floor — no adds, no party. They reward:

• Materials (Spirit Essence, Beast Fang) — generous drops
• Boss Keys — guaranteed 1–2
• XP — high reward for the risk

Note: Lair bosses do NOT drop artifacts. Artifacts are exclusive to the co-op boss gate.

Tips

• Clear trash mobs for materials on the way to the boss
• Bring food — there’s no healing between floors
• Mages dominate the Logger’s Hut and Tyrant’s Roost (both weak to magic)
• Rangers shine at the Umbral Altar (cultists resist ranged but the zealots resist magic)
• If you die in a lair, you’re knocked out and return to the lobby

HP Is Persistent

Your current HP is saved on the server and carries across zones. If you leave the Wildlands at half health, you arrive in the lobby at half health. Combat starts from your current HP — there’s no free heal on zone change.

Healing

There are three ways to restore HP:

1. Eat Food (Manual)

Open your inventory and click a food item (Veg Stew, potions) to eat it and heal instantly. In the Wildlands, press E for a quick-eat.

2. Passive Regen

When not knocked out, you regenerate +10 HP every 60 seconds automatically. It’s slow but free.

3. HP Potions (Shop)

Buy potions at the Buffs & Boosts shop in Sky City:

Potion	Heal	Cost
Small HP Potion	60 HP	50 Gold
Medium HP Potion	150 HP	120 Gold
Big HP Potion	400 HP	250 Gold

Potions work exactly like food — they go in your bag and can be packed into your combat loadout.

Knockout (KO)

When your HP hits 0 (from a boss wipe, Wildlands death, or solo raid defeat), you’re knocked out:

• A full-screen KO overlay appears (greyed character, countdown timer)
• You cannot move, enter combat, gather, craft, or cook
• The timer lasts 2 minutes (120 seconds)

Revive

You can skip the KO timer by paying 100 Gold for an instant revive. This:

• Clears the KO state immediately
• Restores you to full HP

If you wait out the timer naturally, you come back at low HP (must eat food or wait for regen).

Combat Loadout

Pack up to 3 food/potion items into your loadout before combat. During boss fights, food auto-heals you when your HP drops below 40%. In the Wildlands, use E to eat manually.

First-Boss Free Revive

Your very first boss fight includes a free revive — no Gold cost if you lose. This lets new players learn the fight mechanics without penalty.

How Skills Work

Each class has 3 combat skills usable in the Wildlands. Skills cost mana to cast and have cooldowns between uses.

• Mana regenerates over time while in the Wildlands
• Skills fire instantly on keypress (1–4) if off cooldown and you have enough mana
• Each skill scales with your class’s primary stat (Strength, Accuracy, or Intelligence) plus your total Power

Skill Types

Type	Description
Melee	Close-range single-target strike
Ranged	Long-range single-target shot
AoE	Area damage around the target
Heal	Restore HP to self or ally
Stun	Light damage + freezes the target
Aggro	Forces a mob to attack you (tank utility)

Skill Leveling

Skills gain levels through use:

• Max level: 3
• Level 1: base damage (×1.0)
• Level 2: ×1.35 damage/effect
• Level 3: ×1.70 damage/effect

Higher skill levels make a significant difference — use your skills actively to level them up.

Skills by Class

Tips

• Knights — Heavy Strike is your bread and butter; save Shield Bash for emergencies; Taunt is key for protecting squishier allies in group play
• Rangers — Power Shot for consistent damage; Rapid Fire when you have a safe window; Stun Shot buys time to heal
• Mages — Firebolt is your fast nuke; Frost Nova for groups of mobs; Healing Light keeps you alive solo or supports allies

Crafting Stations

All crafting happens at stations on your island:

Station	What It Makes
Forge	Weapons, armor, shields, tools
Carpentry	Leather gear, class set pieces, refined materials
Cauldron	Food (Veg Stew)

Each station has category tabs to organize recipes.

Material Tiers

Raw materials drop from Wildlands mobs and are processed into crafting components:

Raw Drop	Source	Refined →	Refined →
Monster Hide	All mobs	Cured Hide → Wild Pelt → Primal Hide
Beast Fang	Orcs, Lizards	Honed Fang → Fang Totem → Warfang Relic
Spirit Essence	Casters, Golems	Spirit Shard → Greater Spirit Shard → Astral Shard

Each refinement step consumes multiple of the previous tier — refining is the material sink that keeps economy flowing.

Gear Lines

Universal (Any Class)

• Stone tools — Stone Axe, Stone Pickaxe (Forge, wood + stone)
• Stone armor — Stone Armor (Forge, 40 stone)
• Leather set — Helm, Armor, Boots (Carpentry, leather + planks)
• Shields — Bone Shield, Spirit Shield (Forge/Carpentry)

Class Sets (Class-Locked)

Each class has a full 4-piece set (helm, armor, boots, shield) craftable at the Forge and Carpentry using class-specific materials:

• Knight — Heavy plate (STR/STA focused)
• Ranger — Studded leather (ACC focused)
• Mage — Enchanted cloth (INT focused)

Endgame Tiers

Three tiers of increasingly powerful class gear:

Tier	Materials Required	Power Level
Iron	Tier 1 refined materials	Mid
Rune	Tier 2 refined materials	High
Astral	Tier 3 refined materials (all lines)	Highest

Astral gear requires materials from ALL three class lines — you’ll need to trade with other players or farm multiple mob types.

Metal Weapons

The strongest universal weapons (metal sword/bow/wand, +5 to class stat) require metal ore from island level 4+ and are forge-only. No vendor sells them.

Tips

• Crafting gives 25 XP per item — a meaningful leveling source early on
• Check vendor prices before crafting — some pieces are cheaper to buy with Gold
• Refine materials at Carpentry (MATERIALS tab) before vendoring — refined mats sell for more
• Astral-tier items are the endgame BIS (best in slot) and worth selling on the player market

Vendor System

Sky City has specialized vendor stalls along the plaza. Each stall only trades items in its category — you can’t sell a weapon at the armor shop.

The Four Stalls

Weapon Forge

• Sells: Stone Sword (600 Gold), Stone Bow (600 Gold), Stone Wand (600 Gold)
• Buys: Any weapon (at ~40% material value)
• Class filter: You only see weapons for your class

Armor Forge

• Sells: Class set pieces (Helm 400, Armor 700, Boots 400, Shield 550 Gold)
• Buys: Any armor/shield piece
• Class filter: You only see your own class’s gear

Boss Trader

• Sells: Upgrade scrolls (paid in artifacts, not Gold)
  • Weapon Scroll = 10 Ember Shards
  • Armor Scroll = 5 Ancient Relics
  • Blessed Scroll = 5 Boss Cores
• Buys: Artifacts for Gold (Shard 15, Relic 40, Core 100 Gold)
• Also buys: Mob-loot materials (Hide 3, Fang 6, Essence 14 Gold)
• Tabs: BUY | SELL | UPGRADE

Buffs & Boosts

• Sells: Timed buffs (Gold or artifact cost) and HP potions
• Does not buy anything

Pricing Rules

• Vendor buy prices are always ≥1.3× the craft material value — vendors sell convenience, crafting is cheaper
• Sell (buyback) prices are ~40% of raw material count — you can’t profit by crafting to vendor
• Metal tier and shields are craft-exclusive — no vendor sells them

What You Can’t Sell

• There is no General Store on the current city map
• Wood, stone, seeds, and food cannot be NPC-sold
• These monetize only on the player market or through crafting

Tips

• Check the SELL tab before trashing items — even low-tier gear sells for a few Gold
• Upgrade scrolls are the main artifact sink — don’t vendor all your shards
• Mob materials (Hide/Fang/Essence) sell at the Boss Trader, not other stalls

What Is the Player Market?

The player market is a global trading system where players list items for sale priced in Gold. It’s accessible from the Market stall in Sky City.

How to Sell

1. Open the Market stall and go to the SELL tab (or MINE to see your active listings)
2. Select an item from your inventory
3. Set a price (1–99,999 Gold)
4. Confirm — the item is moved into escrow (removed from your bag)

Your item stays listed until someone buys it or you cancel.

How to Buy

1. Open the Market stall and go to the BUY tab
2. Browse available listings
3. Click an item and confirm purchase
4. The item appears in your inventory; the seller is credited Gold (even if offline)

The 5% Fee

Every successful sale has a 5% fee that is burned (removed from the economy):

• Seller lists for 1000 Gold
• Buyer pays 1000 Gold
• Seller receives 950 Gold (5% burned)

This is a deflationary sink — it removes Gold from circulation with every trade.

Escrow

When you list an item, it leaves your inventory immediately (escrowed by the system). This prevents:

• Selling an item you’re wearing
• Listing the same item twice
• Any duplication exploits

If you cancel a listing, the item returns to your bag instantly.

Atomic Purchases

Only one player can buy a listing. The system uses atomic operations — if two players click buy at the same time, exactly one succeeds and the other gets an error. No double-sells.

What Can’t Be Listed

• Carnival tickets — earned only, never tradeable
• Items currently equipped must be unequipped first

Tips

• Check the market before buying from vendors — players often undercut NPC prices
• Upgraded items (+3, +4, etc.) are where real market value lives
• Astral-tier crafted gear commands premium prices
• Use the market to sell materials you don’t need to fund your own upgrades

How Upgrading Works

Any equippable item (weapon, armor, shield) can be upgraded from +1 to +6 using scrolls. Each tier adds a flat stat bonus and a random affix.

Find the UPGRADE tab at the Boss Trader vendor.

Scrolls

Scroll	Used On	Cost
Weapon Scroll	Weapons	10 Ember Shards
Armor Scroll	Armor, shields, helms, boots	5 Ancient Relics
Blessed Scroll	Protection for +5/+6 attempts	5 Boss Cores

Upgrade Tiers

Rules

• Upgrades are strictly sequential — you must go +1 → +2 → +3, no skipping
• Each attempt consumes the scroll(s) whether it succeeds or fails
• Failure at +5 drops the item back to +4
• Failure at +6 destroys the item entirely
• A Blessed Scroll used on a +5 or +6 attempt protects the item from destruction/downgrade on failure (scroll still consumed)

Affixes

Successful upgrades add random affixes — bonus stats rolled from a pool:

• Attack power
• Max HP
• Armor
• Crit chance
• Crit damage
• Attack speed
• Dodge
• HP regen

Higher tiers roll larger affix values. The specific affix you get is random — two +4 swords won’t be identical.

Identifying Upgraded Items

• Item names show their tier: “Stone Sword +3”
• Tooltip rarity colour bumps up with upgrade tier
• Affix lines appear below the base stats in the tooltip

Tips

• Never attempt +6 without a Blessed Scroll unless you can afford to lose the item
• +4 is the “safe ceiling” — no downgrade, decent stats, reasonable success rate
• The expected scroll cost climbs steeply: budget ~7 scrolls to reach +4, ~20+ for +6
• Upgraded items are the most valuable things on the player market

Overview

The Buffs & Boosts building in Sky City sells timed 30-minute buffs that multiply your XP, damage, defense, or gathering yield. They’re the primary repeatable Gold sink in the economy.

Available Buffs

Rules

• Max 3 distinct buffs active at once
• Buying a buff you already have extends it by the full 30 minutes (stacking duration, not effect)
• Buffs tick against real time — they keep running while you’re offline
• Buffs bought mid-fight only apply from your next combat entry (boss/wilds join)

Raid Buffs

The last two buffs (Slayer’s Edge, Hunter’s Ward) are paid in artifacts instead of Gold — they’re your pre-raid ritual for serious boss attempts:

• Slayer’s Edge — +15% damage to co-op bosses only (5× Ember Shard)
• Hunter’s Ward — −20% damage from boss AoE skills (3× Ancient Relic)

These stack with the Gold damage/defense buffs for maximum combat power.

Where Buffs Apply

Buff	Island	Wildlands	Boss Fights
XP Boost	✓ (gather/craft XP)	✓ (kill XP)	✓ (win XP)
Harvest Boost	✓ (+1 per gather)	✓ (wilds nodes)	—
Power Surge	—	✓ (dealt)	✓ (dealt)
Iron Skin	—	✓ (taken)	✓ (taken)
Slayer’s Edge	—	—	✓ (boss only)
Hunter’s Ward	—	—	✓ (boss skills only)

Tips

• XP Boost is the best value for leveling — it applies to everything
• Stack Power Surge + Slayer’s Edge before a Tier III boss attempt
• Harvest Boost doubles your gathering if you’re farming materials
• No buff affects the Gold faucet (by design) — you can’t speed up earning

What Is $SKY?

$SKY is Skyborn’s on-chain token on the Robinhood blockchain. It bridges the in-game economy with real value — but daily gameplay never requires touching the chain.

Utility

1. Island Gate (One-Time Purchase)

Claiming your personal island costs ~$1 in $SKY tokens. This is the only mandatory on-chain interaction — it unlocks the full game permanently.

2. Gold → $SKY Conversion Events

Periodically, a capped conversion event allows players to exchange in-game Gold for $SKY tokens:

• A conversion NPC appears in Sky City (always visible, shows “coming soon” between events)
• Exchange rate and caps are announced per event
• This is the earn-to-withdraw path — play the game, accumulate Gold, convert when events run

3. Market Escrow (Future)

The player market is designed to run on $SKY-priced escrow behind the scenes. The current Gold market is the same RPC surface — when the on-chain backend goes live, listings can be priced in $SKY with Robinhood settlement.

Where to Get $SKY

• DEX — Trade on Robinhood DEXes (link on the landing page)
• Conversion events — Earn through gameplay
• Player-to-player — OTC or through the future on-chain market

Safety

• Signing in is just a wallet signature — never a transaction
• The island purchase shows a clear wallet transaction prompt
• No other action moves funds without an explicit approval popup
• Never share your seed phrase — Skyborn will never ask for it

Contract Address

The $SKY token mint address is displayed on the landing page with a copy button. Verify it through the official Blockscout link before any DEX trade.

How Daily Quests Work

Every UTC day, you receive one rotating quest. The quest is the same for all players on a given day — chosen deterministically from the date.

Available Quests

Quest	Goal	Reward
Gather Wood	Collect 20 wood	+30 Gold
Win a Boss	Win 1 co-op boss fight	+40 Gold
List on Market	List 1 item on the player market	+25 Gold

Where to See Your Quest

The daily quest widget appears in two places:

• Your Island — above the BUILD menu (left column)
• Sky City — above the chat (left column)

It shows your current quest, progress, and a CLAIM button when complete.

How to Claim

Once you’ve met the goal, the widget shows a golden CLAIM button. Click it to receive your Gold reward. You can only claim once per day.

Tips

• Quests reset at midnight UTC — check back each day
• The “List on Market” quest counts listing, not selling — you can cancel after claiming
• Boss quests require a WIN, not just participation
• Daily quests are the most reliable passive Gold income for casual players

Overview

Skyborn tracks player progress across 7 leaderboards. View them from the quest board in Sky City under the LEADERBOARDS tab.

The Seven Boards

Board	Tracks	Reset
Character Level	Highest level reached	Never
Weekly XP	XP earned this week	Monday UTC
Boss Wins	Total co-op boss victories	Never
Kills	Wildlands mob kills	Never
Gathering	Total resources gathered	Never
Island Level	Largest island size	Never
Upgrade Tier	Highest upgrade achieved	Never

Weekly XP

The most competitive board resets every Monday at midnight UTC. This levels the playing field — even late starters can compete each week.

Display

Each board shows:

• Top 10 players with ranks (gold/silver/bronze podium for 1st–3rd)
• Class emblems next to each name
• Your own rank and score (even if not in the top 10)
• Pages of 10 — browse further with the page buttons

Tips

• Use XP buffs during the weekly reset window to climb the Weekly XP board
• Boss wins count per fight, so farming lower bosses quickly adds up
• Pre-class accounts (no nickname chosen yet) are excluded from boards

The Food Pipeline

Food is your primary healing source. The full flow:

1. Plant a vegetable seed in your garden (4 plots available)
2. Wait 2 minutes (real time) for growth
3. Harvest — get 2 vegetables + 15 XP (25% chance to return a seed)
4. Cook at the Cauldron — 2 vegetables → 1 Veg Stew (+50 HP)
5. Pack food into your loadout (up to 3 slots) for combat

Veg Stew

Your main craftable heal:

• Recipe: 2 vegetables
• Heal: +50 HP
• XP: 20 per cook
• Use: eat from inventory, or auto-heals in boss fights when HP < 40%

HP Potions

Stronger heals are available from the Buffs & Boosts shop (Gold only, not craftable):

Potion	Heal	Cost
Small HP Potion	60 HP	50 Gold
Medium HP Potion	150 HP	120 Gold
Big HP Potion	400 HP	250 Gold

Potions work identically to food — they sit in your bag and can be loaded into combat slots.

Combat Loadout

• 3 slots for food/potions
• Food is reserved out of your bag when packed (not duplicated)
• In boss fights: auto-heals when HP drops below 40%
• In Wildlands: press E to eat manually
• Fill all 3 slots with the same food if you have enough

Seed Economy

Seeds are renewable:

• 20% drop from chopping trees
• 25% return from harvesting crops
• Cauldron exchange: 20 tree saplings → 1 vegetable seed

You can never permanently run out of seeds.

Tips

• Start planting seeds the moment you log in — growth is real-time
• Stack Big HP Potions for Tier III boss attempts
• Veg Stew is free (island materials) — potions cost Gold but heal more per slot
• The Harvest buff (+1 gather) gives 3 vegetables per harvest instead of 2

Entrar ou criar uma guilda

O Salão da Guilda fica na sua própria ilha a oeste de Sky City. Você precisa de nível de personagem 5 para entrar numa guilda. Criar uma custa 500 de Ouro e pede um nome, uma tag (exibida ao lado do seu apelido em todo lugar) e um estandarte.

• Guildas abertas aceitam entrada instantânea; as demais exigem solicitação.
• Depois de sair de uma guilda você espera 24 horas antes de entrar em outra.
• Guildas começam com limite de 25 membros e crescem com os níveis da guilda (até 50 no nível 10).

Cargos

O líder comanda a guilda (pode dissolvê-la), até 5 oficiais ajudam a gerenciar membros e missões, o resto são membros. Sair está sempre disponível no rodapé do painel da guilda.

EXP e níveis de guilda

Tudo o que a guilda faz alimenta a EXP de guilda: check-ins, doações, missões e raids. Cada nível desbloqueia algo novo:

Nível	Desbloqueio
1	Loja da guilda + benefício de membro (+3% EXP para todos)
2	Missões de guilda
3	Ranking de guildas
5	Raids de guilda
6	Cofre da guilda
7	Estandarte nível 2
8	Árvore de pesquisa
10	Torneios sazonais

Vidro da Tempestade (SG)

O Vidro da Tempestade é a moeda de guilda que você ganha pessoalmente:

• Check-in diário: +10 SG (e +5 EXP de guilda)
• Doações de Ouro ao tesouro: 5 SG por 50 de Ouro (limite de 200 de Ouro/dia)
• Depósitos de manutenção: 5 SG por 100 materiais
• Raids de guilda: +30 SG por incursão

SG recém-ganho amadurece por 7 dias antes de poder ser gasto - paciência faz parte do sistema de lealdade.

A loja da guilda

Gaste SG em vantagens para membros:

Item	Custo	Limite
Tônico de combate	40 SG	3/semana
Tônico de coleta	40 SG	3/semana
Pergaminho de melhoria	120 SG	1/semana
Enfeite de placa	200 SG	uma vez
Vale de troca de missão	150 SG	1/semana

Missões semanais

A partir do nível de guilda 2, a guilda trabalha em 2 missões compartilhadas por semana sorteadas de um conjunto (cortar madeira/pedra, matar criaturas, vitórias contra chefes, vendas no mercado, chefes de covil, corrida de EXP, melhorias de itens). O progresso é de toda a guilda e paga em camadas: Bronze (50% da meta, 60% das recompensas), Prata (100%), Ouro (150% da meta, 150% das recompensas). Um vale troca uma missão que a equipe odeia.

Manutenção

Uma guilda consome madeira e pedra diariamente (base 100 de madeira + 80 de pedra, escalando ~20% por camada). Os membros depositam materiais na reserva (até 7 dias); se a reserva secar há um período de carência de 3 dias antes de os benefícios desligarem. Depositar paga SG - manter as luzes acesas é recompensado.

Pesquisa (guilda nível 8+)

Os oficiais gastam o SG da guilda numa árvore de pesquisa de três ramos com melhorias permanentes para cada membro:

• Combate: até +3%/+5% de dano nas Terras Selvagens, +5% de dano em raids, +50 de Vida máxima
• Coleta: -10%/-20% de tempo de recarga de coleta, +1 de rendimento, -15% de tempo de horta
• Economia: +1 espaço de mercado, +24h de duração de anúncios, +20% de SG por doações, -15% de custo de manutenção

Raids de guilda (guilda nível 5+)

Três chefes de raid exclusivos com mecânicas próprias, para grupos de guilda de 2 a 5 (personagem nível 5+):

Chefe	Nível	Mecânica
Stormheart	20	AoE pesado
Obsidian	25	Escudo de dano
Skybreaker	30	Fúria brutal

Vitórias pagam EXP de guilda, SG para cada participante e Artefatos de Guilda (vendem por 150 de Ouro ao comprador de artefatos).

What Is Carnival Island?

Carnival Island is a rectangular platform east of Sky City, connected by a dedicated bridge. It hosts five attractions where you spend Gold to play and earn tickets as prizes. Tickets buy exclusive cosmetics at the Prize Booth.

Economy Rules

The Carnival operates on a strict economy:

• Games cost Gold (or are free once per day)
• Tickets are earned only — you cannot buy them anywhere
• Tickets cannot be sold on the player market (blocked)
• Prize Booth items cost tickets and have limited global stock

This means: booth items prove gameplay, not wallet size.

Tickets

Tickets (carnival_ticket) are a real inventory item that sits in your bag. They’re earned from:

• Wheel spins (consolation prizes)
• Gacha pulls (12% / 4% drop rates)
• Cup toss games (main reward)
• Raffle winnings

Getting There

Walk east from Sky City across the carnival bridge. The island has animated trees, flower fences, garlands, and balloons. Each attraction is a clickable zone that opens its game window.

The Five Attractions

1. Wheel of Fortune — spin for cosmetics and tickets
2. Gacha — pull for items, tickets, and a Boss Core jackpot
3. Cup Toss — aim-based minigame for tickets
4. Prize Booth — spend tickets on limited-stock cosmetics
5. Ticket Raffle — enter tickets for a pot, one winner takes 90%

Each attraction has its own page in this guide with detailed rules and strategies.

Wheel of Fortune

A spinning disc with multiple prize sectors. The wheel uses the real disc art — what you see is what you can win.

Costs

• 1 free spin per UTC day
• Additional spins: 60 Gold each

Prizes

The wheel pays carnival-exclusive cosmetics and ticket consolation drops. Prize weights are fixed — every spin has the same odds regardless of history.

How It Works

1. Click the Wheel attraction on Carnival Island
2. Click SPIN (shows FREE or 60 Gold)
3. The disc animates a real spin
4. Prize revealed with a “You won!” popup

---

Gacha

A random-pull system with items, tickets, and a rare jackpot.

Costs

• 100 Gold per pull (no free pulls)

Drop Rates

Prize	Chance
Game items (gear, materials)	~84%
Carnival tickets (small)	12%
Carnival tickets (large)	4%
Boss Core (jackpot)	Rare

Pity System

Every 10 pulls without a rare drop, the system forces one. This is a soft pity — it guarantees you won’t go too long without value.

Tips

• The gacha is the fastest way to get tickets if you’re Gold-rich
• Boss Core jackpot is NOT pitied — it’s purely random luck
• Pity counter resets when you hit a rare, not at 10 total pulls
• Budget your Gold — 10 pulls = 1,000 Gold for a guaranteed rare

Cup Toss

An aim-based minigame — throw balls at stacked cups to earn tickets.

Costs & Limits

• 1 free game per UTC day
• Retries: 50 Gold each, max 5 paid games per day
• Ticket cap: 20 tickets per day from cups (prevents grinding into a ticket shop)

How It Works

1. Three throws per game (aim + power bars, client-side)
2. Server scores your hits (cupsHit)
3. Tickets awarded based on cups knocked down
4. “You won!” popup shows your result

The paid retry cap exists specifically so Gold can’t convert directly into unlimited tickets.

---

Prize Booth

The ticket shop — spend earned tickets on exclusive cosmetics.

What’s Available

Cosmetics: titles, name-plates, auras, and pets. These are equipped via equip_cosmetic and show on your nameplate in-game.

Stock Rules

• Items have global limited stock (20–100 units total across all players)
• First come, first served (atomic purchase — one winner per unit)
• Stock rotates weekly — new items appear, sold-out ones cycle out
• Prices range from 15–150 tickets

Tips

• Check the booth on rotation day (weekly) for new stock
• High-ticket items (150) are the rarest cosmetics — save up
• Once an item sells out globally, it’s gone until the next rotation (if ever)

---

Ticket Raffle

A lottery where tickets are the entry fee and the prize.

How It Works

• Entry cost: 5 tickets per entry (no limit on entries)
• Prize pot: 90% of all entry tickets go to one winner
• Burn: 10% of entry tickets are destroyed (deflationary)
• Draw: Lazy settle at UTC midnight — winner is credited tickets to their bag, even if offline

Rules

• The raffle is ticket-in, ticket-out — no Gold involved (by design, since Gold↔$SKY↔fiat would make it a money lottery)
• Can be disabled per region (SOLSKY_RAFFLE=0 hides the tab)
• More entries = higher chance to win, but diminishing returns vs spending tickets at the booth

Tips

• The raffle is high-risk/high-reward — only enter with tickets you’d otherwise not spend
• On average, 10% of your entries are burned — expect to lose value over time
• The expected winner payout scales with the number of participants that day

O que são cosméticos

Cosméticos mudam como os outros te veem: cores de placa de nome, títulos, auras (um brilho atrás do personagem e do seu emblema nos rankings) e mascotes. Aparecem na sua placa na cidade, na sua ilha, nas Terras Selvagens e nos rankings. As placas padrão são brancas - uma colorida se destaca na hora.

Equipe ou troque quando quiser pela mochila - possuir um cosmético não o exibe até você equipá-lo.

Série 1 - “Skyborn”

A primeira coleção tem seis peças, todas exclusivas do carnaval:

Cosmético	Tipo	Origem
Sky Sapphire	Placa	Barraca de Prêmios - 25 tickets (25 em estoque)
The Skyborn	Título	Barraca de Prêmios - 45 tickets (15 em estoque)
Sunglow	Aura	Barraca de Prêmios - 90 tickets (10 em estoque)
Radiant Gold	Placa	Roda da Fortuna - 2% de chance
Astral Storm	Aura	Roda da Fortuna - 1% de chance
Cloudling	Mascote	Prêmio máximo do Gacha - 0,3%, sem pity

O estoque da barraca é global: quando as 10 auras Sunglow acabarem, acabaram - o mercado de jogadores vira a única fonte.

O Cloudling

O Cloudling é mais que um cosmético - a nuvenzinha te segue para todo lado e luta de verdade:

• +1% de dano em todo lugar (Terras Selvagens, chefes, raids)
• +1 Vida/s de regeneração passiva na sua ilha e nas Terras Selvagens
• +10 de Vida por turno para o grupo INTEIRO nas lutas de chefes

É o drop mais raro do jogo (0,3% no Gacha, sem timer de pity), o que o torna tanto um símbolo de status quanto um mascote de combate.

Negociar cosméticos

Cosméticos são mercadoria normal do mercado - anuncie e precifique em $SKY como qualquer coisa. Dois detalhes que valem saber:

• Anunciar sua última cópia equipada a desequipa automaticamente (nada de cosméticos fantasma).
• A raridade precifica por você: o estoque limitado da barraca e as chances de 1-2% da roda fazem a Série 1 só ficar mais escassa.

Sobre o jogo

O que é Skyborn? Um MMO de sobrevivência com visão de cima que roda inteiramente no navegador: desenvolva sua própria ilha flutuante, crie e cozinhe, lute contra chefes em cooperativo e negocie com outros jogadores - liquidado na Robinhood.

É grátis? Entrar é grátis (uma assinatura de carteira - sem gas). Reivindicar sua ilha - que desbloqueia o ciclo completo do jogo - é uma compra única de $SKY (~US$ 1). Passear por Sky City e olhar tudo não custa nada.

Preciso entender de cripto? Não. Você precisa de uma extensão de carteira (MetaMask, Rabby…) e um clique. Os recursos on-chain são opcionais no dia a dia; o jogo te guia na parte do $SKY ao reivindicar sua ilha.

Contas e carteiras

Minha carteira É minha conta? Sim. Quem tem a carteira tem a conta - não há e-mail nem senha. Guarde sua frase-semente: perdeu a carteira, perdeu a conta; não conseguimos restaurá-la.

Por que vejo um personagem diferente do de ontem? Você entrou com outra carteira ou por outro navegador/perfil. Mesma carteira = mesmo personagem, em todo lugar.

O aviso “Connected Elsewhere”? A mesma carteira abriu o jogo em outra aba ou dispositivo - a sessão mais nova vence. Feche a outra aba e reconecte.

Técnico

O jogo não carrega ou parece quebrado após uma atualização. Recarregue a página com força (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R). Se instalou o Skyborn como app (PWA), aceite o aviso de “reiniciar para atualizar” quando aparecer.

Cliquei em Play e nada aconteceu. Verifique se a extensão da carteira está desbloqueada e se você aprovou o pedido de assinatura - às vezes ele abre atrás da janela do jogo.

Posso jogar no celular? O jogo roda em navegadores móveis e instala como app, com controles de toque. O login com carteira no celular ainda é limitado - por enquanto o navegador de desktop é o caminho tranquilo.

Dúvidas rápidas de gameplay

Fui nocauteado - perdi meus itens? Não. Morrer custa tempo, não saque: um nocaute de 2 minutos (ou pague Ouro para reviver na hora). Nada cai, nunca.

Minha comida acabou - estou travado? Sem becos sem saída: cortar árvores derruba sementes (20%) e cada colheita devolve uma (25%), então o ciclo de comida sempre recomeça da sua horta.

Onde reporto um bug ou peço ajuda? Siga @skybornclub no X - a equipe lê todo dia. Inclua seu apelido e o que estava fazendo quando quebrou.
