Actions Catalog

Each action lists a base success chance. Your actual odds add Luck on top of that base: every point of Luck above the starting value of 5 shifts your chance by 0.5%. Repeating the same action also builds familiarity: 0.5% per past success, or 0.25% per past failure (half the success rate, but a failed attempt still builds it), up to a cap of 90% added to your raw chance, so deeds you practise, win or lose, get more reliable over time. Whatever the final number comes out to, it is always clamped between a floor of 5% and a ceiling of 95% (up to a hard ceiling of 99% with the right bonuses, including +0.25% per Ascension), so nothing is ever a guaranteed win or an impossible attempt.

A failed action is not a pure loss: it still grants 25% of the XP a success would have rolled (no gold, no drops), on top of the familiarity it builds toward your next success chance, so even a bad run keeps paying something forward.

Commit ×N repeats one deed as many times as you choose, up to everything your Energy allows. The run stops early if you run out of Mana, a failure would drop you to 0 HP, or you are jailed. A very long run carries on by itself in as many steps as it takes, so one click is never cut short while you still have Energy, and you get a single summary of the whole run at the end.

When the run finishes, the animation stays on screen until you click See results, so you can enjoy it before the summary opens. If you would rather go straight to the summary, switch off 'See results after Spend All Energy' in Settings, under Gameplay.

Weekend and holiday events give the whole realm a temporary bonus, such as more gold from actions, more Luck, or more Attack or Defense. The Events page lists them. While one runs, its bonus shows in your buff list with an Event or Weekend badge, the event name and the day it ends, and a Luck bonus is a percentage that adds to your action success chance.

When a holiday or weekend event starts, Mortek sends a letter about it to every player who has logged in within the last 30 days, once per event. Short flash events do not send a letter.

Once you have ascended, 24 extra actions open up, 6 in each city. Each one is unlocked by your completed ascensions (+10 to +60, and completed ascensions never reset) plus the live rank of the action it is based on, so a prestige reset puts them out of reach until you climb back. They pay 1.5x up to 3x what the city's best action pays, and drop materials 1.5x as often. Their gear drop chance rises with their energy cost, so gear per energy is never worse than the action they are based on (at least 1.5x). Only the Dark Citadel ones can drop Godshards. They stay hidden until you complete your first ascension.
