About

Binxonia

Read full description

Binxonia is an online RPG where everyone shares one world. The people you pass in town are other players, fighting the same monsters and buying from the same market. Fighting Start as a warrior, an archer or a mage. Each weapon type has its own skill that levels as you fight with it, and every skill unlocks five special attacks along the way. Monsters resist some kinds of damage and are weak to others, so the right weapon hits much harder. Mages learn fire, ice and shock spells. Trades There are thirteen trades to learn. Mine ore, cut wood, shear sheep, and fish and cook what you catch. At the anvil and the workbench you forge weapons and armor, carve bows, sew armor from hides and scribe warp scrolls. Every craft rolls a quality, and a finished piece can carry the name of the player who made it. Trading Gems, crafted gear and crafting tomes are worth the most to other players. Trade them face to face, or place buy and sell orders on the Exchange. Playing together Hunt in a party of up to four and share the experience from each kill. Start a guild with its own chat, treasury, vault and hall. Binxonia is free to play. Platinum is an optional in-app purchase.
