MAIN

QUESTS

Being the main way for players to get EXP, much of the main quest is intended for players to play solo! Every once in a while though, to advance through the story players will require the help of a party to defeat bosses in instances.

fetch quests

A common daily assignment players often get are to get x amount of drops from y monster to deliver to an npc. Players often team up with friends on this quest, as more hands gets it done faster!

hidden quests

Hidden quests are scattered all across the map, with various ways to unlock them! Talking to a suspicious npc, picking up a mysterious item, or killing a randomly spawned mini boss are all ways that someone could trigger a hidden quest, which grant outrageous rewards if completed successfully!

RANKS

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, players are able to climb the leaderboards by emerging victorious in the arena. Every rank has its own set of awards, each more tempting than the last, though perhaps the most fun system is the tickets earned through the arena battles. With these tickets, players are able to play gatcha in the Arena store, and possibly win big!

MODES

There are two available PVP modes in Sword Dynasty: [solo] & [duo]. Every season, Sword Dynasty switches off which mode earns more points for a victory to encourage players to try both battles modes. Earning wins in duo battles also increase the intimacy points between the two players if they are friends.

A special area, typically a dungeon that generates a new copy of the location for each group that enters the area. A party is required to be formed to enter each instance, with a party leader decided either beforehand, or randomly picked in the event of a system match. Some notable instances include:

Faerie of the Lake

a weekly instance that’s fairly unique, where in addition to battling the boss, you must first answer her questions correctly. Timed questions encourage parties to open their voice chat to discuss the right answer as the Faerie of the lake asks things such as the finishing phrases to proverbs, the names of npcs, or just random trivia. Questions are randomly generated each instance, with new question sets updated weekly. Depending on the amount of answers correct, the boss will either be buffed or debuffed during the fighting phase.

Jade Bull

a weekly instance more annoying than it is hard, it seems that finding the boss in the maze of a dungeon is even more difficult than actually killing it. Players must pay attention to the patterns and choose the correct doors that show up after defeating the enemy. Choosing the right door will bring the party closer to the boss, while choosing the wrong one will get you further.

God of Death

a weekly instance notorious for its difficulty, a typical run can take upwards of 3 hours. In this instance, the mobs are plentiful but fairly easy to kill. The problem is that the God of Death takes these slaughtered souls on to buff himself, making him exceptionally hard to kill unless the players find a way to bypass some mobs. The drops from this boss make it possible to craft a divine artifact though, making him a weekly stop for most top players.

mechanics

Sword Dynasty highly encourages you to make friends on your adventure to enhance your experience online! There are 2 types of friends you can add, [Roster Friends] and [Friends]. [Roster friends] tracks the player’s whole account, so you can see them even when they are playing on alternate character slots. Adding someone as a [Friend] tracks only the individual character slot, and you will not see the friend when they are playing on alternate character slots & vice versa.

[ FRIENDS ]

A system that keeps track of intimacy, maxes out at 999 unless players take the step to get married. To get married, a pair would have to have an intimacy score of 300 or more. Players can gain intimacy points by completing dailies together, going on instances together, or using the gifting system.

[ INTIMACY ]

The partnership system dubbed marriage by the fanbase has gained romantic connotations in the game. The developers have fully embraced the marriage interpretation of this mechanic, taking the chance to milk some cash out of it by providing items for sale to liven up the occasion. Once partnered, players receive an additional shared inventory with each other, as well as a pair of rings allowing both players to teleport to each other (of course, with a cooldown).

[ MARRIAGE ]

Players are able to use drops from monsters to craft gears and weapons, though the chances of the craft succeeding is not 100%. Higher grade drops have a chance of resulting in at least hero grade gear, or for those with luck, divine grade gear.

[ CRAFTING ]

Players are able to buy themselves and/or their friends a house. The space is not limited to just 1 person, as multiple people can share a house, with the number depending on the amount of space in the house. Houses are available by auction.

[ HOUSING ]

A death by PK or PVE will result in a loss of EXP, in-game currency, as well as a possibility of one of your gears breaking if you are supremely unlucky. Repeated deaths can result in the loss of a level. Deaths in the arena are the only ones not subject to this system. A death by map (such as fall damage) results in significantly less consequences, though there will still be a slight deduction to EXP.

[ DEATH ]

[ PET/SUMMONS ]

Whether players bought or were given a pet/summon, pets can be useful in battle to block, attack, or to bring along extra inventory space. Worry not though, as any pets fallen on the field will simply rest a while before being able to come back up! Summons, on the other hand, can be used as mounts, and are mainly used for faster travel and aesthetics.

A guild for the addicts, this guild is home for many of the top players in the server. With a sizable number of members, this guild is known to be welcoming to those willing to put in the work to reach record heights in the game.

[ HALF-LIFE ]

A more laid-back guild for more casual players looking to go at their own pace and have fun. With a sizable number of members, this guild is known to be quite friendly and welcoming to new players.

[ LOTUS PAVILION ]

At level 20+ in the server, you will have the option of making your own guild! There are requirements, however, as you must have a minimum of 3 initial members, meaning 3 separate OCs that don’t belong to you joining the guild at time of formation! If you would like to make your own, please fill out the form that can be found in the directory in [#system] channel!
