Getting started
6 detailed answers
What is NexusRPG?
NexusRPG is a persistent text-based browser MMORPG. You play directly in a modern web browser and develop one authoritative character through combat, equipment, gathering, crafting, quests, achievements, trading, Clans, Kingdoms, Fair PvP and shared Boss encounters.
Do I need to install anything?
No. NexusRPG runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and mobile. The server stores your character state, so refreshing the page, signing out or changing device does not reset progression or active authoritative timers.
What should I do first?
Open the separate Guide and follow its beginner chapters in order: learn the interface, inspect Mastery, win a Surface battle, equip a useful drop, finish a Quest and begin Gathering.
What does a recipe saying “Requires Weaponcrafting 1” mean?
It is the minimum level of that crafting discipline, not character level. The same recipe card also displays your current discipline level. Crafting the appropriate recipes grants XP to that discipline.
Is the game state controlled by my browser?
No. Combat outcomes, drops, costs, rewards, cooldowns, purchases, inventory ownership and construction completion are validated on the server. Visible browser countdowns and loading states are presentation.
Can I play comfortably on a phone?
Yes. The game uses compact navigation, mobile sheets for chat and side panels, touch-sized actions, safe-area spacing and layouts that avoid horizontal page overflow. Wide data regions use contained scrolling where necessary.
Character, stats and Mastery
7 detailed answers
How do levels and experience work?
Battles, gathering and other progression events award experience. When the server confirms enough experience, the character levels up and permanent progression is recorded. Character shows current progress and recent level gains.
What are the main character stats?
Health determines survivability; Power drives normal damage; Defence reduces incoming damage; Accuracy and Speed influence reliable actions; Critical and Luck are ratings converted through capped, diminishing-return formulas. Raw rating is not a direct percentage.
How are effective PvE stats calculated?
Eligible flat values such as base stats and equipment form a Core subtotal. Eligible percentage sources are added into one pool and applied once to Core. Contextual PvE, Elite, Boss, World Boss and Clan Boss damage modifiers remain separate so they cannot be counted twice.
What is Fair PvP?
Fair PvP uses the canonical stat calculator in a PvP context. Paid Shop combat percentages, Supporter Rank combat bonuses and PvE-only damage bonuses are excluded. Legitimate equipment and approved earned progression remain relevant.
What is Mastery?
Mastery is long-term earned specialization across Combat, Explorer and Gatherer paths. Invest available Mastery Points with the 1, 5, 50 or 100 controls. A full respec costs the server-displayed amount of Gold.
Can I equip a character title?
Yes. Open Settings → Titles. The server only permits titles earned by this character through achievements or permanently purchased in the Credit Shop. Titles are cosmetic and do not change stats.
What are special achievement titles?
Major milestones unlock titles such as Worldbreaker, Clan Executioner, Clan Vanguard and The Cataclysm. Boss scope is determined by the server, so a Clan Boss final blow cannot count as a normal World Boss final blow.
Battle, PvP and Bosses
8 detailed answers
How does normal Battle work?
Choose an available monster at your current location and submit an attack. The server validates location, cooldown, stats and target availability, resolves every turn, records the result and grants only the rewards produced by that result.
What are Autos?
Autos repeat an eligible Battle or Gathering action through the existing server action system. They do not bypass cooldowns, location checks or requirements. Permanent Auto capacity can be purchased in quantities of 1, 5 or 10; each next unit costs exactly one Credit more.
How do random World Boss spawns work?
Eligible completed gameplay actions have an intentionally ultra-low, server-side chance to spawn a World Boss. A duplicate-safe event key prevents one action from spawning the same event twice. Chat identifies the spawning player. Long dry streaks are possible by design.
What happens during a World Boss battle?
A World Boss has shared server health. Each accepted attack is recorded once, damage comes from authoritative stats and the final accepted hit defeats it. The finisher receives the configured final-hit Gold, Credits and Boss Trinket reward.
How does a Clan Boss differ?
A permitted Clan member selects a Boss level. The Clan pays the level-scaled treasury cost and receives a private 24-hour encounter. Only Clan members may attack it. A Clan can summon one per weekly window, resetting Sunday 23:59 Europe/Copenhagen.
What are Clan Boss rewards?
Defeating the Boss grants major shared Clan Gold, Clan XP, Ore and Wood. The final-blow player receives a personal reward and Boss Trinket; the top-damage player receives separate Gold and Credits. Both roles are recorded idempotently.
Can repeated clicks grant duplicate Boss rewards?
No. Boss attacks, final-hit rewards, top-damage rewards, Credits and gameplay events use server validation, database locking and unique event references. Replaying the same request returns the recorded outcome without paying twice.
How do I challenge another player?
Fair PvP is available through nearby player interactions where the current location permits it. The server validates both characters and calculates the result with paid combat power and PvE-only modifiers excluded.
Travel, planes and Kingdoms
5 detailed answers
How does travel work?
The world contains ten connected planes. Movement and plane travel are validated against your current server location, route connections and required progression. Each plane has its own monsters, resources, notable locations and Kingdom.
Why can I not reach an activity?
The target may be on another tile, area or plane, require a higher level, or be unavailable at the current location. Open Planes and use the current map rather than trusting an old browser state.
What is a Kingdom?
A Kingdom is the governable territory associated with a plane. Eligible players can claim or conquer territory, manage development, population, armies, guards, runes and tax settings through server-authorized actions.
How do Kingdom taxes work?
A Kingdom may collect configured portions of eligible Battle Gold or gathering resources earned in its territory. Results separate gross reward, tax and net reward. Ownership and settings are enforced server-side.
How do Kingdom building timers work?
An active upgrade stores authoritative start and completion timestamps. The interface displays clamped progress and non-negative remaining time. At zero it asks the server to complete the existing upgrade process; refreshing cannot reset it.
Equipment and Inventory
8 detailed answers
Which equipment slots exist?
Characters can use Right Hand, Left Hand, Head, Chest, Legs, Gloves, Feet, two Rings, Amulet, Trinket and one Tool slot. Compatibility is determined from the item template on the server.
How does Quick Equip work?
Select a slot such as Head on Equipment. The dialog lists only your unlisted items compatible with that exact slot. Level, ownership, listing state and compatibility are checked again when equipping.
What does Item Score mean?
Item Score is a compact comparison signal derived from item stats. It is useful for scanning, but a lower-score item can suit a specialized build better. Review the actual Health, Power, Defence, Accuracy, Speed, Critical, Luck and gathering lines.
Where do item stats come from?
Normal drops and crafted items use centralized level, rarity and stat budgets. Admin/custom provenance is explicitly marked, allowing competitive calculations to distinguish legitimate generated items from exceptional administrative items.
What are rarity and item quality?
Rarity affects the generated stat multiplier. Luck and item-quality bonuses improve probability through bounded formulas; they do not guarantee ultra-rare results. Required level and provenance remain visible.
Why can I not sell, destroy or equip an item?
Equipped, locked, listed, foreign or level-restricted items are protected. Market escrow and equipment state are authoritative. Unlock, cancel a listing or meet the requirement before trying again.
How do bulk inventory actions work?
Select All selects eligible inventory items. Bulk sale confirmation uses an in-game dialog and states the item count and exact Gold proceeds before the server processes the sale.
Where do Trinkets come from?
Trinkets are Boss-drop-only equipment. They are not available from Crafting. Existing Trinkets remain valid, and the template stays active exclusively for authoritative Boss rewards.
Gathering and Crafting
8 detailed answers
Which gathering professions exist?
Mining gathers Ore with a Pickaxe, Woodcutting gathers Wood with an Axe, Hunting gathers Meat with a hunting tool and Foraging gathers Food with a foraging tool. Each profession has persistent level and XP progression.
Which rare resources can be found?
Gemstone is associated with Mining, Ancient Bark with Woodcutting, Primal Hide with Hunting and Royal Spice with Foraging. Rare-find chances remain bounded and server-controlled.
Which crafting disciplines exist?
The active disciplines are Weaponcrafting, Armorcrafting, Toolcrafting, Jewelcrafting and Cooking. Existing legacy progression was preserved and copied into the relevant active disciplines.
What can each crafting discipline make?
Weaponcrafting makes weapons and shields. Armorcrafting covers Head, Chest, Hands, Legs and Feet. Toolcrafting creates profession tools. Jewelcrafting makes Rings and Amulets. Cooking creates food with temporary buffs.
Are Head, Chest and Legs craftable?
Yes. Armorcrafting includes Guard Helm, Chainmail Vest and Chain Legguards recipes alongside Gloves and Feet. Recipe cards show required Armorcrafting level, current level, ingredients and Gold fee.
How is crafting quality decided?
The server combines recipe difficulty, crafting level, rare ingredients, earned Mastery and approved item-quality bonuses, then rolls within capped rarity rules. Equipment is clamped to the central stat budget.
What happens when I craft multiple items?
The server validates quantity, totals every ingredient and Gold cost, locks the relevant records and either completes the whole transaction or rolls it back. XP and achievements use confirmed quantity.
How does cooked food work?
Cooking creates consumables. Using one activates its server-defined buff until an authoritative expiry timestamp. Active Food bonuses appear in the character stat breakdown where applicable.
Quests, achievements and rewards
6 detailed answers
How do I get a Quest?
Open Quests or use the two quick actions in an empty Tracked Quest panel. Choose a Battle or Gathering contract. You can keep one active manual contract per category and track the one shown in the side panel.
Do completed Quests need to be claimed?
No. When authoritative progress reaches the requirement, the Quest auto-completes, pays its reward exactly once, announces the actual reward, clears tracking and disappears from the active list.
Can I abandon a Quest?
Yes. Use Abandon and confirm in the in-game dialog. Only your own active Quest can be abandoned. Unfinished progress is not rewarded, and completed rewards cannot be replayed.
Can a Quest award Credits?
Battle and Gathering contracts include a displayed low chance for a small gameplay Credit reward. The random result is resolved and snapshotted on the server so repeating a request cannot reroll it.
What are achievements?
Achievements are event-driven milestones for Battle, Gathering, Crafting, progression, rare items, exploration, Bosses, Kingdoms, PvP and Quests. Finished achievements are hidden so the page focuses on the next milestone in each chain.
Which Boss achievements exist?
World Boss final blows, Clan Boss final blows and Clan Boss top damage have separate server-scoped achievement chains. Major steps award Credits and selected milestones unlock cosmetic titles.
Gold, Credits, Shop and Market
7 detailed answers
What is Gold used for?
Gold is earned through gameplay and used by character, crafting, Clan, Kingdom and Market systems. Where taxes apply, the result separates gross Gold from the authoritative net amount.
What are Credits?
Credits are a separate account balance used for approved permanent Shop upgrades, Autos, titles, Clan creation and Clan donations/buildings. Gameplay and player-traded Credits do not count as verified spending or Supporter Rank progress.
What can I buy in the Shop?
The Shop contains Credit packages when a payment provider is active, permanent percentage upgrades, uncapped permanent Auto purchases, Supporter Rank information and cosmetic titles. Every cost is recalculated server-side.
How does Supporter Rank work?
Supporter Rank is based only on verified lifetime purchases. PvE and convenience benefits follow centralized balance curves. Paid Shop and Rank combat bonuses are excluded from Fair PvP.
What can be traded on the Market?
The Market permits supported equipment, resources and player-listed Credits. Removed resource types are excluded. Ownership, balances, quantities, prices and listing state are validated server-side.
Can players buy and sell Credits?
Yes. A seller places Credits into server-controlled escrow and chooses the Gold price. A different player can purchase the listing; settlement transfers Gold and Credits atomically. A player cannot buy their own listing.
What protects Market trades?
Listings, escrow, cancellation, purchases, ownership and refunds use database transactions and immutable transaction records. Browser-supplied IDs never authorize ownership or set the final price.
Clans
8 detailed answers
How do I create or join a Clan?
Creating a Clan costs 250 Credits. Existing Clans may use invitations, applications and minimum join-level rules. The Clan header shows level, XP, rank, capacity, treasury, tax, role and contribution information.
What is Clan Tax?
Clan Tax is the Clan minimum contribution percentage. A member may voluntarily choose a higher rate across the valid percentage range. Automatic contributions still enter the treasury and member totals, but are excluded from the visible Clan Ledger.
What can be donated?
Members can donate supported resources and Credits using server-rendered resource cards and amount controls. The server checks member, balance and Clan ownership before moving anything.
Do Clans or Clan buildings have a maximum level?
No artificial level cap is imposed on Clan progression or Clan buildings. Costs, required Clan level, construction duration and bonuses scale through central definitions and diminishing balance curves.
Which Clan buildings exist?
Great Hall expands capacity; Treasury improves tax-Gold deposits; Barracks adds earned PvE combat stats; Workshop improves Gathering; Archive improves Clan XP; Watchtower improves earned PvE Accuracy, Speed and Luck. Upgrades also require Credits.
How does Clan construction work?
Only permitted roles may start an affordable eligible upgrade. One authoritative construction state displays current and target level, remaining time, completion time and progress. Resources cannot be paid twice.
How are Clan members managed?
The compact Members list shows names first. Expand a member for role, activity, last online, donated amounts and join date. Promote, demote, kick, transfer and permission actions remain server-authorized.
What is recorded in the Clan Ledger?
Manual Gold, Credit and resource donations are visible together with supported withdrawals, building costs, role or leadership actions and Clan Boss events. Automatic Clan Tax contributions are deliberately hidden from the visible ledger.
Social, notifications, support and account
8 detailed answers
Which chat channels exist? +
Chat supports Global, Clan, private and System messages where relevant. Boss spawns and important outcomes use server-generated System announcements. Reports include verified server context rather than copied browser text.
When is the Alerts button visible? +
Only when the current character has at least one unread game notification. Its badge shows unread count and polling lets it appear after a new event. With zero unread notifications, the control is hidden.
How do Support notifications work? +
The Support badge reflects a ticket update needing the player’s attention, including a staff reply or Waiting for Player state. Admin staff have separate permission-aware counts for actionable tickets and reports.
Can a ticket be assigned to staff? +
Authorized staff can assign a ticket to themselves, another eligible support administrator or leave it unassigned. The server validates the administrator and logs the assignment.
Where are profile, security and title settings? +
Use Settings in the desktop game header or the gear control on mobile. Profile, Titles, Security and Appearance remain account-protected and excluded from search indexing.
What are the registration password requirements? +
A new account password must contain at least five characters and match its confirmation. Registration does not force uppercase, lowercase, numbers or symbols. Use a unique password anyway.
How do I report abuse or a bug? +
Report a chat message with its in-game action when relevant. For gameplay, account or payment issues, open Support and include concise reproduction details. For access problems, use public Contact.
Where can I read rules and updates? +
Game Rules explain conduct and prohibited behavior. News & Updates lists shipped changes. Terms and Privacy describe account, virtual-content and data practices.
