In Blockgame, death is an inevitable aspect of your experience, manifesting in various forms, occasionally frustrating and at times comical. Whether you lose your head to the Envoy, succumb to starvation, or attempt to be a fish without gills or fly without wings, embrace the fact that death is an integral part of the game. | In Blockgame, death is an inevitable aspect of your experience, manifesting in various forms, occasionally frustrating and at times comical.

Classes in Blockgame are defined solely by the combination of stats you opt for and the [[Armors|armor]] you equip; there's no conventional process of selecting a predefined class as seen in traditional role-playing games. | |||

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. | |||

When engaging in combat and triumphing over [[Mobs|Monsters]] in [[Myrkheim]] and [[Dungeons]], you may occasionally find them dropping weapons or armor. These items will bear the prefix "Corrupted". | When engaging in combat and triumphing over [[Mobs|Monsters]] in [[Myrkheim]] and [[Dungeons]], you may occasionally find them dropping weapons or armor.

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. | ||

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 hud</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.

To do so, you have to travel to the initial Spawn-structure in Myrkheim again and use one of the four portals provided. Later in the game, you can construct your own portal with Obsidian and use it to escape Myrkheim. After traversing through a portal, you will spawn at your last location in Midgard. If you've never been there, you will spawn in the Town of Origin. | ||
The Town of Origin, or simply [[Origin]], acts as the central player hub within the Realm of [[Realms#Midgard|Midgard]] in Blockgame. Take some time to interact (punch) with NPCs and explore their inventories. You may even want to craft some new tools at [[Miner Steve]] or [[Archaeologist Indy]] for example. Don't neglect picking up your [[Origin Daily Quest Token]] from the Chest located just outside [[Mayor McCheese|Mayor McCheese's]] Mansion while you're there. | The Town of Origin, or simply [[Origin]], acts as the central player hub within the Realm of [[Realms#Midgard|Midgard]] in Blockgame.
