Shadowrealm Wiki

This wiki is built directly from the same data that powers Shadowrealm: Age of Darkness, a free, persistent, browser-based dark fantasy RPG. Every price, rank, odds, and reward below is read straight out of the game's own catalogs, not written up separately, so it stays accurate as the game changes. Use it to plan a build, compare gear before you commit gold to it, or just see how deep the systems go before creating a character.

What Shadowrealm is

There is nothing to install and no server wipe: a character keeps every gold piece, every rank, and every scar between sessions, growing over weeks and months of play rather than a single sitting.

The core loop runs through actions: spending Energy, and for the boldest deeds Mana, on a criminal job for a chance at gold, XP, and a material or gear drop. Every action belongs to one of the four cities of the realm, and enough XP raises your character rank, the single gate behind almost everything else: tougher cities, rarer gear, bigger casinos, and pricier heists. See Character Ranks for exactly what each rank unlocks.

Beyond the solo grind, Shadowrealm runs as a live economy: gear and materials change hands on open markets, casinos are player-owned businesses that bank the house edge on every bet placed at them, four-player crews split the payout on a shared heist, and any NPC prisoner sitting in a jail can be broken out by anyone willing to risk the attempt.

Reaching the maximum character rank does not end the game, it opens Ascension: a prestige reset that trades your rank for permanent, stacking power, for players who want to climb the whole ladder again with an edge. See Character Ranks for the full climb, including what Ascension unlocks.

Not everything in Shadowrealm is a solo catalog lookup: guild wars, jailbreak rank, PvP duels, and the Arena ladder are live systems played out against other characters rather than static data, so they are not catalog pages here. The NPC Opponents page still lists every foe you will actually face in PvP and the Arena, and the sections below cover everything that IS a fixed catalog: gear, actions, potions, cities, materials, crafting, ranks, casinos, achievements, NPCs, and heists.

Every catalog on this site in one list, with a real count and a one-line summary of what you will find on each page.

Gear Catalog: 63 items across 12 equipment slots and five rarities, common to mythic, each with its own stat bonuses and, at higher rarities, bonus max HP, Mana, or Energy.
Actions Catalog: all 24 criminal deeds, from begging for coin to dethroning the Shadow King, grouped by the city that hosts them, with real success odds, energy and mana costs, and gold and XP rewards.
Potions & Elixirs: 15 consumables in three sizes each: instant HP and Mana restoratives, plus timed Attack, Defense, and Luck elixirs, with prices and per-point value compared.
Cities of the Realm: the 4 cities of the realm, each gated behind a character rank, with its own actions, casino, travel cost, and jailed NPCs.
Crafting Materials: 20 raw materials across five rarities, dropped from actions and heists, bought outright at the Reliquary, or gambled for on the Black Market.
Crafting Recipes: 65 Forge recipes, the exact materials and quantities that turn those raw ingredients into every piece of gear in the game.
Character Ranks: the 8 ranks from Peasant to Wraithking, with exact XP thresholds and what each one unlocks across every other system.
Casinos & Games: 8 casino games in every city, from Dice to a dedicated Poker room, each individually priced by city and buyable by a player who wants to own the house.
Achievements: 72 achievements spanning nearly every system in the game, from a first action to filling out the Ascension tree.
NPC Opponents: 74 named NPCs across all eight ranks, populating the jails, the PvP pool, and the Arena ladder, plus the Most Wanted.
Heists: 3 four-player crew heists, with role requirements, success odds, and payouts that scale with the crew's gear.
Combat & Stats: what each of the eight stats actually changes, how success chance is clamped between 5% and 95%, how a fight resolves round by round, and why worn gear quietly costs you damage.
Jail & Jailbreaking: serving time, breaking other players out, why the same bust is harder in some cities, and what the 4 Most Wanted elites are really worth.
Gold, Banking & Trading: how bank interest is actually calculated, what every transfer and listing really costs in fees, and why the marketplace has the limits it has.
Arena, Duels & PvP: arena rating and its 24-point K-factor, season placement rewards, the weekly Glory stipend by rating, ritual duels and their 1,000,000 gold escrowed wager cap, and why open-world PvP deliberately pays no gold.
Guilds & the Warcamp: treasury buffs, member caps, and the mechanic most guilds misread: Warcamp production fills a single whole-guild pool that every member splits on claim, so a bigger guild does not multiply the payout.
The Stronghold: your personal keep, the only thing that earns while you are logged out: how producers scale on a 0.5 exponent, and why the Vault cap matters more than the buildings feeding it.
Ascension: the prestige loop: what a reset takes, what it keeps, the 64-node Ascendancy tree across 7 branches, and the four systems that genuinely re-lock afterwards.
Stables & Conveyances: 26 stealable vehicles across 4 grounds, with damage and repair economics and the fence-versus-salvage decision.
Quests & Daily Play: how dailies and weekly challenges are drawn and scaled to your rank, and why energy rather than gold is the real limit on progress.
City Bosses: realm-wide boss events across four tiers, rewards divided by damage share, and the 24-hour window before a city is sacked.
Gear Enchantments: all 19 enchantments, one per gear piece, bought only with arena Glory, and why replacing one destroys it.
The Blood Shrine: two rites paid in your own resources: a 40% health offering that speeds energy regeneration, and Shadow Mending that turns idle mana into health.
Story Missions: 14 hand-authored chapters across 2 storyline chains, and how they differ from the daily quest pool.
The Lottery: a 250 gold ticket, a jackpot that grows with every sale, a 5% tax, and an honest look at when buying in is actually worth it.
Shops & Vendors: the Blacksmith, the Reliquary, the rotating Black Market, the Black Lotus Den's energy overflow, and the Fence, with what each is actually good for.
Shadowgems: the premium currency: every way to earn it through play without paying, what its 51 shop items are for, and how the player-run gem market works.
