Solace Crafting

Solace Crafting is an open-world RPG set in an infinite fantasy realm. You explore in every direction, gather resources and craft equipment to survive as monsters and materials grow one level more difficult for each kilometer (0.6 miles) from your starting point. You build refining and crafting facilities, establish fast-travel routes and search for rare materials as you venture into more challenging areas.

Explore the realm

Player-built teleporters can launch you into unknown territory, while player-built solaces let you travel freely to and from any other solace in your world. Their visible range extends over 48 kilometers (30 miles), letting you plot routes to the biomes you need. Resource scanners help locate rare materials at a distance, and the map marks points of interest within a generous range of places you have visited.

Build your character

There are no starting classes. You shape your adventuring class from 240 skill nodes, spread across four Archetype skill trees that branch into eight Job skill trees. You can mix and match trees and assign attribute points to suit your play style.

Gather resources

Major resources advance in tier every five levels, providing progressively stronger equipment. Rare materials produce colored sparkles that make them visible from afar, especially at night. Some more complex resources require towns to gather, while others are found in extreme heat or cold, where magical underwear lets you venture. Ctrl+F activates auto-harvesting; with higher harvesting skills, you can eventually destroy resource nodes in one hit.

Craft equipment

Recipes are not predefined: a boots recipe makes boots, but you choose their level, tier, rarity, material and color, subject to your resources, facilities and skills. Finding stronger materials makes equipment upgrades important for survival. Monsters can provide schematics for extraordinary gear, and you can unlock enchants to socket into your equipment.

Build and settle

The building system lets you rapidly place floors and walls with the WASD keys and spacebar, even when you cannot see or reach the placement location. For more detailed designs, free placement mode lets you position and rotate building parts to the centimeter without collision restrictions. You can build staircases to reach gems on cave ceilings and ladders to climb tower ruins and other procedural points of interest.

Town buildings fit within the upgradable power range of a solace and let you summon villagers with different professions. Harvesters gather resources over time, including town-specific materials used to upgrade other materials. Crafters teach recipes and make special materials needed to upgrade towns.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer supports 95% of the content available in single-player. You can play on dedicated servers or through player hosting.
