The basics

The écu ◈

One currency across all of Fraktal: the écu, ◈. Monsters never drop any: they give you items, and a merchant buys them back.

Attributes

Open /stats: this is the Étoile de la Voûte. Five crystal points, one per attribute, that light up as you place your points.

One more point

• 
  Puissance

  +0.4 % neutral damage.

• 
  Précision

  +0.15 % critical hit chance.

• 
  Résonance

  +1 maximum mana and +0.3 % spell damage.

• 
  Robustesse

  +0.35 % damage reduction, up to 60 %.

• 
  Agilité

  +0.15 % dodge, up to 30 %, and +1 % movement speed, up to 40 % with your gear.

Each level gives you 1 point, and 3 every 5 levels: 139 points at level 100.

During the beta, resetting your points costs nothing.

Elements

Every hit carries an element: Neutre, Feu, Glace or Arcane. The last three stand in a triangle.

• Fire beats Ice
• Ice beats Arcane
• Arcane beats Fire

Against the element it beats, a hit lands ×1.25. Against the one that beats it, ×0.75. Neutre beats nothing and fears nothing.

A monster's own sheet comes before the triangle: the Bestiary says, in steps, how it takes each element.

The steps, from best for you to worst

• Vulnerable
• Weak
• Neutral
• Resistant
• Highly resistant

Rarities

One scale for everything: gear, tools, materials. You read it in the colour of the name and the frame of the tooltip.

A piece of gear gets its rarity when it is made, at a workshop or on a monster, among those this item can have.

Unstable items

New gear leaves the workshop unstable: no stats, and it cannot be worn. Monsters can drop it too.

• Take it to Maître Calixte, the Harmoniseur, at the Forge de cristal in Les Ruelles du Levant. Place the item, pay in Éclats cristallisés, confirm: its stats appear.
• The Éclat cristallisé is made at l'Établi de Résonance, by the Cristallier, from level 1.
• Disappointed by the roll? Re-fracture the item: it keeps its rarity and its stats are rolled again. 5 times at most, for 2 times the stabilising price, then +25 % each time.

The bag

Your bag is carried in your off hand. It is bound to your soul: neither death nor a thief will take it. /sac opens it.

Auto-pickup sends what you gather or pick up straight into the bag. It unlocks once and for all, for 750 ◈ and:

• ×4Fanon de Boscoff
• ×2Huile de profondeur
• ×2Éclat cristallisé

The Bank

Your Bank waits with Dame Mélisende: 27 slots to start, 999 items per slot. Go and see her: one click on her and she opens your chest.

Need room? Each row of 9 slots can be bought, 10 at most. The first costs 500 ◈ and 10 Éclats cristallisés; each next one, twice as much.

Workshops and the Harmoniseur within 48 blocks of her draw from your Bank, after your inventory and your bag.

The Hôtel des ventes

Maître Tomas runs the Hôtel des ventes from his lectern. He is the one you visit to buy and sell between players.

• Fixed-price sales. You set your price; your listing stays up 14 days.
• Requests. You say what you are looking for and at what price, another player fills it.
• Auctions. For stabilised items, over 12, 24, and 48 hours.
• Stalls. 12 spots around the fountain, rented for 24 hours, to run your own shop.

Buying starts at level 1; selling, at level 5. You hold 8 listings, one more every 10 levels, 18 at most.

Taxes are destroyed, never pocketed: 1 % when you list, 4 % of what you earn, 5 % when you sell to a request.

The group

Up to 4 players. /groupe inviter, or Shift + right-click on a player; Shift + F to accept, Shift + A to decline. Your group lines up on the right of the screen, each with their skin and health.

At a dungeon door, your group is who goes in, 4 players at most. Dungeons
