Unlit

Explore a world where light is sparse and darkness consumes the poor souls who are trapped within it. Scavenge the surface for lootblocks and fight with monsters... or stay inside a little bunker messing with the stock market and the government.

Rings can be made using 3 super ore and 1 magic crystal, they can then be enchanted with any given rune to give the following improvements when worn:

• Health increases the health gained
• Regeneration increases the duration of regeneration
• Teleportation increases the range of portals
• Launching !!! no effect !!!
• Levitation increases the duration of levitation
• Fireball increases the damage dealt
• Poison increases the duration of poisoning
• Vampirism increases the amount of health gained/damage dealt

Cloaks can be found in lootblocks or bought through the tradeinator, they give a small defense bonus and 1 rune level in comparison to rings which give no defense bonus and give 2 levels. Totems can be found in dungeons and can be enchanted with a rune to give 1 level to every player.

Shrines 🔗

Shrines go up/down according to player action, some require you to goto the shrines menu in the inventory to repent.

• Lust having too many pets
• Gluttony having too many lives/healing items
• Greed having too much money
• Sloth having too many portals
• Wrath killing too many monsters
• Envy killing too many npcs, having too many eggs
• Pride building the tower

Monsters & Animals 🔗

A list of monsters will not be included because it's funny to see people's first reaction to some of them.

Animals 🔗

Currently, the following animals are implemented:

• 'Gull tameable, weak and slow, does not attack
• Magic 'Gull tameable, indestructable, does not attack, right click to get a magic shard
• Raging 'Gull tameable, kills any monster whether or not the monster is tamed

Spawning 🔗

• Surface (above y0): weaker monsters, only place to find Regular 'Gulls
• Caves (y0): monsters are still rather weak but are more abundant, Raging 'Gulls likely
• Deep Caves (y-100): stronger monsters, weaker monsters less likely, Raging 'Gulls and Magic 'Gulls likey
