Eldaryn is an idle RPG built around one addictive loop: hunt, collect gear, create stronger builds, and push into content that fights back. Your hero can hunt automatically while the game is running, while every important decision remains yours. Choose your class, talents, equipment, stats, pets, mounts and sigils. Eldaryn is a full fantasy RPG with deep progression and real theorycrafting, not a simple tap simulator. CHOOSE YOUR CLASS Play as a Warrior, Sentinel or Mystic. Each class has two specializations, unique skills and its own talent tree. The Mystic can fight as a Mage or transform into a Bear or Wolf as a Druid. Save multiple builds and switch between complete presets containing your gear, talents, pet, mount and sigils. BUILD YOUR HERO Progress from level 1 to 100 and unlock new systems along the way. At level 45, choose between the Shadow and Radiant Awakening paths. At level 55, unlock the Transcendence board with hundreds of upgrade nodes and ancient sigils. HUNT FOR GEAR Collect equipment across nine slots and ten rarities, from Common to Riftforged. Every item rolls its own item level, quality and secondary stats, making each drop different. Temper and reroll stats, socket enchant stones, amplify equipment up to +10, dismantle unwanted items into dust, collect relics and block unwanted stats from appearing in your loot. Use detailed loot filters by rarity, stats and item sets so you only stop for upgrades that matter. IDLE AND AUTO-HUNTING Energy has no maximum limit and continues regenerating while you are away. Enable Auto Hunting while the game is running and your hero will keep fighting and collecting drops into a loot bag for you to review later. Whether you prefer short daily sessions or longer optimization runs, Eldaryn lets you make meaningful progress without constant tapping. PVE CONTENT • Hunt – the main idle loot and progression loop • Progress – 11 chapters of real-time combat • Dungeons – seven dungeons with Sweep and Fast Pass options • Raids – challenge strongholds in 1 versus 5 battles • World Boss – compete in a 60-second damage race • Crusade – three-player group PvE with tank, damage and control roles • Mythic+ – climb an endlessly scaling Crusade ladder • Celestial Trial – two-player endgame encounters with unique mechanics • Arcane Quarry – mine essences used to improve equipment Use group finder and matchmaking to fill your party. Queued Crusade runs can continue even when the game is closed. PVP ARENA Climb ten Arena ranks from Initiate to Transcendent during three-day competitive sessions. Fight for influence, honors and ranking rewards, practice without affecting the leaderboard, and inspect an opponent’s full build before attacking. CLANS AND SERVER COMPETITION Join or create a clan, take part in three-day Clan Wars and siege fortresses that grant server-wide bonuses. Chat in world, regional and clan channels and compete across live leaderboards. PETS, MOUNTS AND SIGILS Hatch, merge and upgrade pets, then ascend the Pet Altar to unlock permanent collection bonuses. Summon mounts and improve them with glyphs that can change how your abilities work, including cooldowns, damage and stacking effects. Forge active sigil abilities, level them up and evolve the Sigil Altar to unlock higher rarities. LIVE EVENTS AND REWARDS Enjoy rotating Battle Pass seasons, cosmetic skins, 60-day login rewards, Lucky Wheel events, weekly buffs, quests, promo codes and friend referral rewards.
