Economy & Progression
Two currencies, a card collection, achievements that pay, and seasons that take nothing away from you.
Currencies
Codex
A collection of cards you unlock as you play — enemies, gear, regions, allies and artifacts. Each has a discovery tier and a deeper tactical note you only unlock by fighting the thing enough. It is both a reference and a completion goal, and it pays XP and Oil as you fill it.
Badges
Achievements for hitting milestones — crit counts, wins, and other tracked stats. Some grant small combat bonuses such as crit or dodge chance.
Seasons and medals
When a season changes, the server takes a snapshot and awards medals for the level milestones you crossed.
| Level reached | Medal |
|---|---|
| 10 | Bronze |
| 20 | Silver |
| 30 | Gold |
| 40 | Diamond |
A season change does not reset your character. Nothing is wiped, nothing is taken. It records where you finished and rewards the milestones you crossed. View a season card with !profile @user s1.
Bonds
Bonds track relationships between players. Playing with — or against — the same people builds a shared history. Check yours with !bonds, notable ones with !bonds_top, and the log with !bonds_history.
Bonds are also a currency. At the Weapon Forge, 100 Bonds permanently unlocks either of two weapon recipes — Revenant Edge and Requiem Aegis — both built around a fallen ally's spirit. Unlock once, then craft and enhance them like any other weapon.
The Guardians Compendium. A Discord RPG built and run by Max. Every formula, item, region, quest and line of prose here was read out of the live bot. Reward amounts, drop rates, daily caps, prices and which panels are up are set by Max on the server the bot lives in.
