Arcadius

Arcadius is a multiplayer resource-gathering simulation set in an open world. You explore with other players, gather hundreds of unique resources and build up your skills. You can compete to be the best at your skill, with over 90 achievements available at launch.

Gathering skills

Fishing lets you catch unique fish in ponds, oceans and lava. Fish are native to their environments; rarer catches sell for more money and give more XP. You can buy bait and craft rods to improve your chances of catching more and rarer fish. The islands also hold more than 16 unique ores, each harder to obtain than the last. Mining supports the other skills, as you refine ores into bars to craft tools.

Woodcutting supplies wood needed for every tool, with trees spread across the lands of Arcadius. Gathering also contributes to a collection of over 200 items, including fish, tools, wood, ores and harvestables. Completing the collection counts toward maximizing your achievement gain.

Craft and upgrade

At a workbench, you craft tools after meeting their skill-level requirements. You can smelt every ore using coal or wood as fuel, producing bars that take up less inventory space and are used in crafting recipes. Speak to the Blacksmith on the island to upgrade your tools; each upgrade has a cost.
