Missions
| Missions | |
|---|---|
| Mission time a day | At least 60 minutes, 120 with premium |
| Block length | 10 minutes |
| Tracks | Two, picked by the alignment wanted |
| Acceleration | 10 gems |
| Rewards | Gold, experience, alignment |
A mission sends the knight away for a set stretch of time and pays out when the timer runs down, in gold, experience and a shift in alignment. The danger lies at home: the gold in the purse can still be stolen while the knight is away.
Every account gets at least 60 minutes of mission time a day, and a premium account gets 120. The time is spent in 10-minute blocks, which makes 6 runs a day, or 12 with premium. That allowance caps what missions can earn. The 3-day starter premium also gives 120 minutes.
Two tracks, one axis
Before setting out, a knight picks the side to work for: protector of the poor and weak, or robber baron on a raid. The track decides which way alignment moves, and the result decides how far.
Missions are tasks rather than places. Good knights escort a princess or guard a caravan, while evil ones raid the jeweller's district or loot and pillage the countryside.
The mission screen shows a shortened description. The full text appears before the first mission, and the short form follows after that.
What a mission pays
Payouts fall into bands, and the lowest band pays nothing at all. A 10 minute block pays 1 to 5 experience. Every level-up raises the minimum loot a mission returns, except on blocks that pay nothing. Experience rises with the gold: the bigger the haul, the more experience and the larger the alignment step.
The gold figures are approximate.
| Gold | Experience | Alignment Change |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 - 100 | 1 | +/-1 |
| 101 - 199 | 2 | +/-1 |
| 200 - 299 | 3 | +/-2 |
| 300 - 999 | 5 | +/-3 |
Fitting missions round the hour
A fight of any kind buys 60 minutes of hour protection, and that is what keeps the purse safe while the knight is out. The two standard rotations slot safety fights between mission blocks so the cover never lapses and the daily allowance is used exactly. Both rotations start and end with a fight.
Without premium the day runs like this: a safety fight, 3 blocks of 10 minutes, a safety fight, 3 more blocks, and a final safety fight. With premium it is a safety fight followed by 4 blocks of 10 minutes, repeated 3 times, and a closing safety fight. Either way the mission time divides exactly into the hours of cover. The two rotations also fit into each other, so a player with one premium and one free account can run both side by side.
Spending all 60 minutes in one go is a mistake. The protection lasts exactly 60 minutes, so a safety fight every 30 to 40 minutes keeps it from running out. A new knight who has done 3 blocks may already be level 2. That is a good moment to spend some gold on attributes before the next fight.
A combat lock also applies during a mission: 15 minutes without premium and 5 minutes with it.
Speeding a mission up
A running mission can be finished early with a magical acceleration that costs 10 gems. MoonCoins work for it as well. Gems are the paid currency, so every acceleration competes with premium time and with merchant stock priced in gems.
After the Missions
Once the daily mission time is used up, a knight either keeps fighting or goes to work at the tavern. Tavern work does not have to wait for the combat lock to end. A knight can start a job straight after a fight. The tavern is also the usual place to send the knight when the player is away from the computer.
