Realms

[ExecutiveRaven™]

What exactly is the point of the realms? I know the basics... but why would you have more than one char per realm as all the areas progress with your main char, and it isn't juist sacrement and the communiuty chest thats shared..

Like if you could do co-op with other people through the realms it would make more sense to me.

Aren't realms and characters separate? When I started playing I thought maybe there was some proc gen going on since you can name the realm, but I got the same world Splattercat did when I watched his video, so what is the point of having more than one realm?

Its definitely random gen drops, the enemies are similar but i got a unique sword from killing warwick on my second character not the first, my first weapon one my first character was a hunting dagger and on my second it was a staff, on my first i found a cursed lifesteal ring in an early chest on my second i didnt.

The game itself says loot is randomized each time you come back, enemies respawns after a while and are the same, except when you take daily quests then it actively replaces the enemies.

So i dunno, for farming bosses? for running the game again on a high level character?

to me it seems like you generally play one realm per character as that is kinda your progress, but nothing forces you to i reckon.

When multiplayer is available you'll be able to visit other player's realms to buy/sell items.

I was using the additional realms to farm material and experience points.

Yep, you can use additional Realms to farm and level. If you want to find a special weapon that a boss may have, and it doesn't drop in one Realm, you can just make another Realm and farm it.

I killed that first boss until I saw everything in its loot table.

Ah that clears things up. Not sure why make more realms when they could just make resources, enemies, and bosses respawn, which apparently they do after some time except bosses apparently, so yeah I guess I'm still miffed on the purpose of realms.

Not only for farming like other said but for many other thing. I'm playin with few realms, one and first is my main realm where I progress the story, second is realm where I reached Fillmore (mess hall) I stopped there and exit and now I have free repairs (it's way easier to exit your realm and got to another to Fillmore then get back to town. It's 20 seconds job and it's totally free. Moon Studios buffed durability so it's way easier now then in the beginning but if you have to repair all your items (watch for showl, axe, pickaxe and other tools they are also breakable) for free. Third realm is just for collecting items because each realm has it's own loot chances or you can create realm kill the first boss and get ichor (I hope I spell it correctly) to lvl your slots in main realm. I'm not sure how many realms can you open on one character but you can three or four should be more then enough :)

The more people talk about Realms the more I see them as pointless. They could easily just make stuff respawn with random drops from the loot pool and resources respawn. I still don't get the practical point of using other realms. Someone make it make more sense for me please....

Good example: name the realm Free Repair Guy. Then go save him from the three mobs and progress to gate right before the first boss theres a whisper. Save there and fight the first boss BUT dont kill him. Let him kill you or jump off ledge. You should spawn at the whisper and the repair guy should be there chillin. Take your main character and reach to him in the "free repair guy" realm and repair all your teir 3 stuff for free. :) thats what realms are for hahahaha. Use the money to enchant high end loot not for repairs

Great little cheat, but still doesn't explain why Realms are needed as a main game mechanic when same world respawning is a thing.

Because its going to be a drop in drop out game and some people has friends they want to use a shared character on?

There is literally no penalty to not separating realms and characters, so why not just do it?

I guess if you don't want to progress your main game then yeah. Still just seemed weird as other drop in games don't have something like realms.

I never said I wouldn't use it. Of course I'll use it if it means I can farm gear more efficiently.
