Ember Sword is now Officially Going to Mainnet
The public release of Ember Sword Early Access lets anyone jump into the MMORPG for free on web browsers to start earning cosmetic NFT rewards through PvE gameplay while completing various quests, engaging in PvP, trading with other players in a player-driven economy, and exploring low-poly environments.
Early Access Details
There will be 5 large and dangerous areas to adventure and battle in solo or with friends: The Capital, Millwheat, North Dalland, Witwood Quarry, Espire Plains, and Sunrift. Over time, developer Bright Star Studios will unlock access to more environments, giving players more places for PvE and PvP action RPG gameplay.
Everyone starts off with basic equipment, and you’ll need to craft tools such as a pickaxe to start gathering various resources that you’ll need to upgrade your crafting bench. With a better crafting bench, you can upgrade your gear to be more prepared for the dangers that await in the wilderness.
Thanks to a player-driven economy, players can also trade resources amongst each other. So if you can’t find or get to certain higher-tier resources. Then you might be able to strike a deal with someone who has what you’re looking for. These resources are only possible to earn in-game as off-chain assets. In-game gold, basic emotes, basic wearables, and all weapons are actually off-chain.
You can take on various quests by finding signposts scattered throughout the world. Quests range from collecting resources to defeating enemies, rewarding you with varied loot while helping you level up your skills. When venturing out from safe areas into PvP arenas and zones with better rewards, your collected resources are not safe. Bears, wolves, bandits, hostile robots, and more foes can be encountered throughout your journey. Alongside various other players who may or may not be friendly. Dying in these PvP and PvE battles could result in the loss of your resources, but not on-chain cosmetics. Your NFT cosmetic items are safe, even if you die in these combat-enabled environments.
