Luminariah is a semi-idle fantasy MMORPG you can play in short bursts or long sessions. Your hero keeps fighting even after you close the app, so your progress never stops. NEW: ARCANA, YOUR MONSTERS AS CARDS Every monster, World Boss and Hades boss is now a card, and your pets are your champions. Learn the game against eight Sentinels in Practice, duel real players in Ranked one move at a time, walk the weekly Lantern Road, bring your pets to Pet Brawl, and challenge friends to Live Duels. Fill your Binder, craft the cards you are missing and fuse your favorites all the way to Nightmare. NEW: MEET FINNY A starry-eared fox walks beside you on every screen. He keeps your rewards at his feet until you tap them, tells you how the fight went while you were away, brings you every invite and reminder, and naps when you leave him alone. SEMI-IDLE, SERVER-SIDE COMBAT The moment you attack, the fight is live on the server. Lock your phone, switch characters or close the app and the battle keeps going. When you come back, everything you earned is waiting. Your potions set the pace, so progress is steady, never infinite. FOUR CLASSES Play a Warrior, Mage, Rogue or Paladin. Each has its own skill tree, subclasses and gear path across four equipment tiers, from Common to Nightmare. WORLD BOSSES Twice a day the whole server takes on a World Boss together, and every level is welcome. Brace on every strike, hold the line for your room, and walk away with Gold and a Legendary piece of gear. GUILDS, RAIDS AND CASTLE SIEGE Join a guild, fill the vault and take on ten tiers of guild raids. Descend into Hades for eight-player dungeons and sixteen-player raids. Fight for the crown in Castle Siege, a guild war across six towers. TEN PROFESSIONS Fish, mine, smelt, gather herbs, cook, brew alchemy, craft keys, work as an Artificer, cut jewelry and practice Occultation. Gather, craft and supply your own gear and consumables. A REAL PLAYER ECONOMY Buy and sell on the Grand Bazaar with fixed prices and live auctions. Refinement, Remorph and rerolls give every item a long upgrade path. PETS AND PROGRESSION Collect spirit pets that grant bonuses and bring home Soul Essence. Chase achievements and titles, daily, weekly and monthly challenges, quest scrolls and daily buffs. PVP Climb the ranked ladder and prove your build against real opponents. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERY DEVICE Luminariah runs on iPhone and in your browser, and your hero travels with you. A NOTE ON PURCHASES Luminariah is free to play. Diamonds and optional subscriptions are available as in-app purchases and can speed up progression, but the full game is playable without spending. Some purchases and in-game systems involve randomized rewards; the odds for every random mechanic are shown in the game before you commit and at luminariah.com/odds. New content, balance updates and features ship regularly. Come build your legend. Terms of Use: https://luminariah.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://luminariah.com/privacy
