The Auction House is your go-to spot to trade with other players. You can access this from anywhere at any time and sell anything you find out in the world. Use this to snag great deals, undercut rivals, and amass great wealth. While setting up an item to sell, you will have to pay a small fee depending on your set price. You can often find players bartering or asking for specific items in the in-game chat, which will often result in that item being put up on the auction house. | |||

Additionally, Corrupted Gear reduces Damage Reduction, resulting in more incoming damage from all sources. While this consequence may appear overly harsh, Corrupted Gear can roll with uncommon stats for their Gear Class and are easily acquired making it a valuable commodity. | ||

During your time in Blockgame, you'll come across various gear that may not serve your immediate needs. However, there's no need to worry. Tools, weapons, and armors can all be salvaged or dismantled, yielding essence as a result. It's worth noting that salvaging corrupted gear is the sole method of obtaining [[Corrupted Essence]]. To salvage items, you'll need to purchase a [[Salvage Kit]] from the NPC [[Forge]]. In your inventory, first left-click on your [[Salvage Kit]] to select it, then right-click on the piece of gear you wish to salvage. It's essential to exercise caution, as there's no further prompt once the action is initiated. Therefore, ensure that you're selecting only items you genuinely intend to dismantle. | During your time in Blockgame, you'll come across various gear that may not serve your immediate needs.

==<u>Quests</u>== | |||
<span style="font-size:75%">Main Article: ''[[Quests]]''</span> | |||
Quests serve as a key gameplay mechanic in Blockgame, offering players the opportunity to explore the world and earn rewards by completing specific tasks. Currently, the most common type of quest is the '[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fetch_quest Fetch Quests]', where players must obtain one or multiple specified items and deliver them to the quest-giver or another designated NPC. | |||
Among the various quests available, [[Daily Quests]] are particularly prominent. To initiate a [[Daily Quests|Daily Quest]], players need to obtain an [[Origin Daily Quest Token]], which can be exchanged with [[Mayor McCheese]] for a Quest Item. Once acquired, players can activate the quest by holding the item in their hand and right-clicking. The quest details will then be displayed at the top of the screen. It's important to note that only one quest can be active at a time, and activating a new quest will overwrite the current one. | |||
To complete a quest, players must deliver the required item to the specified NPC and right-click on the NPC while holding the item. As a reward for completing a Daily Quest, players typically receive 500 coins directly deposited into their personal bank, along with 5000 Class EXP and 10000 Profession EXP. | |||
Quests are not only a valuable source of experience points (EXP) but also offer early-game coin acquisition opportunities. Don't forget to collect your [[Origin Daily Quest Token]] daily after the daily reset! | |||
==<u>Party System</u>== | |||
<span style="font-size:75%">Main Article: ''[[Party]]''</span> | |||
Blockgame is fantastic on its own, but it truly shines when enjoyed with friends! That's why Blockgame offers a [[Party|Party System]], allowing you to explore and conquer together. To form a party, simply type <code>/party</code> in chat, and follow the prompts in the Party Creation GUI. | |||
Within the party, you'll share your earned experience, enjoy an additional +15% experience per player, disable friendly fire, and access a dedicated Party Chat for seamless communication. | |||

To establish a place to store your plunder from [[Realms#Myrkheim|Myrkheim]] and unleash your creativity with magnificent monuments, free from the weekly [[Realms#Myrkheim|Myrkheim]] Reset, you must create a Town in [[Realms#Midgard|Midgard]]. A Town grants you ownership of a plot of land which you can govern according to your preferences. To claim a chunk as your own, you must possess a personal balance of $250, ensure it's not in close proximity to another town (you can use <code>/towny map</code> to detect claimed chunks), and, perhaps the most challenging prerequisite, have a name ready for your town. | To establish a place to store your plunder from [[Realms#Myrkheim|Myrkheim]] and unleash your creativity with magnificent monuments, free from the weekly [[Realms#Myrkheim|Myrkheim]] Reset, you must create a Town in [[Realms#Midgard|Midgard]].

Once you've claimed a chunk, you can acquire nearby chunks for an additional $ | Once you've claimed a chunk, you can acquire nearby chunks for an additional $500 per chunk, either renting them out to other players or retaining them for yourself. After establishing your town, you must pay a 'Daily Upkeep' to prevent it from falling into ruins and disappearing. The 'Daily Upkeep' is deducted from your Town Bank, which is separate from your Personal Bank. To deposit funds into your Town Bank, use the command <code>/t deposit [DepositAmount]</code>. | ||
Upon creating your Town, you'll start with one out of nine possible plots/chunks. In other words, you can claim up to eight additional plots in addition to the one you initially claimed when creating your town. If you wish to expand your claimable plots further, you'll need to purchase a [[Writ of Expansion]] from [[Sooie Casa]] in [[Origin]]. It's important to note that as towns grow, they incur higher daily upkeep costs, so it's essential to expand responsibly within your means. | Upon creating your Town, you'll start with one out of nine possible plots/chunks.

As mentioned earlier, each town begins with an initial limit of nine plots. Until you exceed this initial limit, your daily upkeep is capped at $50. Once you surpass the nine plots, each additional plot increases the upkeep by $5. | |||

After completing the Tutorial, you'll find yourself on the central platform of Yggdrasil. Here, Blockgame offers you the freedom to choose your next steps. From Yggdrasil, you'll see transportation Gates to four other Realms: [[Realms#Myrkheim|Myrkheim]], [[Realms#Midgard|Midgard]], [[Realms#The_Bazaar|The Bazaar]], and The Event Hub. Head straight to the Myrkheim portal. After a brief moment, you'll arrive at the Myrkheim Spawn platform. Depending on the day, Myrkheim may be freshly generated or already modified by other players. Note that the Spawn platform is protected from interference and PvP activities, so you'll need to venture beyond it to progress. Your initial goal should be to locate structures like Villages, Ruined Portals, or Alchemist Homes, which offer valuable resources as well as gold. | After completing the Tutorial, you'll find yourself on the central platform of Yggdrasil.
