Gameplay

4 questions
How does idle gameplay work?

When you start an activity (training, gathering, crafting), your character continues working on it automatically. You can check back later to collect resources, level up, and start new activities. The game tracks your progress even when you're offline.

What are the main activities in Morndale?

Main activities include: Training skills (Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, etc.), Gathering resources, Crafting equipment and consumables, Exploring dungeons, Completing quests, Trading at the auction house, and Managing your land. Players can form guilds with friends, and complete bosses as a group.

What happens to my progress when I'm offline?

Your character continues working on any active tasks while you're offline. When you return, you'll collect the resources, experience, and rewards earned during your absence. This makes Morndale perfect for busy schedules!

Is there a level cap?

What's the best skill to start with?

Mining and Woodcutting are excellent starting skills as they provide basic resources needed for crafting. However, you can start with any skill that interests you - all paths are viable and interconnected.

Economy & Trading

4 questions
How does the auction house work?

The auction house lets you buy and sell items with other players. List items for sale at your chosen price, or browse listings to purchase items you need. The auction house is essential for trading rare materials and equipment. You can also view sale history to gauge fair prices.

What is the best way to make gold?

Multiple approaches work: gathering high-level resources and selling them on the auction house, crafting valuable equipment, completing dungeons for loot, and flipping items on the market. Diversifying your income sources is usually most effective. Player property/land can also provide passive income.

Are there auction house fees?

Yes, there is a small listing fee and a percentage taken from successful sales. This helps regulate the economy and prevents market manipulation.

Can I trade directly with other players?

Currently, trading is done through the auction house system, which provides a safe and fair marketplace for all players.

Dungeons & Combat

4 questions
How do dungeons work?

Dungeons are exploration-based content where you encounter monsters, collect loot, and gain experience. Each dungeon has level requirements, and unique monsters. Success depends on your equipment, stats, and preparation. Dungeons can be explored solo or with a group.

How is combat calculated?

Combat uses your equipment stats (attack, defense, health, and variety of equipment/player stats) against monster stats. The system calculates hit chances, damage, and outcomes on the fly in a tic style combat system. Better equipment and higher levels improve your success rate and survivability, while also allowing you and your group to clear dungeons faster.

What happens if I die in a dungeon?

Death in dungeons has consequences but isn't overly punishing. You'll respawn and may lose some progress in the dungeon, but you won't lose items or experience. It's an opportunity to improve your equipment and strategy.

Can I play dungeons with friends?

Yes! You can create or join dungeon groups to tackle more difficult content together. Group play is scaled based on player equipment and levels.

Land & Workers

4 questions
What is the Land system?

Land allows you to build structures that automate resource gathering. You can place buildings like mines, lumber mills, and fishing huts. This provides a steady income of materials while you focus on other activities.

How do I unlock more land slots?

Land slots can be unlocked using gold as you progress through the game. Each unlocked slot allows you to place an additional building for resource generation.

How often do I need to collect from buildings?

Buildings have storage limits, so you'll need to collect periodically to avoid waste. The frequency depends on your building levels. You can collect from all buildings at once for convenience.

Can buildings be upgraded?

Yes! Buildings can be upgraded to increase their storage capacity, gathering speed, and efficiency. Higher level buildings provide better returns on your investment.
