Players will be rewarded for exploring.[1]

We want to put things in the world that are dynamic; so there are reasons to keep going out and keep exploring.[2]

Adaptive content

Alpha-1 preview pirate themed dynamic point of interest.[3]

This is actually a dynamic POI. This one will evolve as players evolve the node that it's attached to. So this is its final state.[3]Jeffrey Bard

New points of interest (such as dungeons, world bosses, and corrupted areas) spawn as nodes develop.[4][5] This content adapts to the node progression of the zone it is in.[3][6]

Certain dungeons and other points of interest across the map will all be affected by the server’s node development. Some dungeons will only be unlocked if nodes are developed to certain stages. The storyline objectives for players inside dungeons will also be dependent on the story arc paths chosen through the node system. The drop tables in area and dungeons will also be tied into the progression of certain areas. For example, let’s say that the humans have developed a node in Region A, and a storyline has opened up that leads players to inspect the ruins (dungeon) of a nearby area. And let’s say that this node was developed in a scientific (crafting) zone… Well before the node developed, this dungeon was accessible… But now the dungeon has propagated new monster assets that include a drop table catering to a crafting emphasis because of the development of that scientific node. And perhaps, a new boss appears in different rooms of the dungeon that includes different adventure quest starts, like a mysterious item with a storyline that can only be progressed if a node develops to the metropolis stage in a certain region, across the world. Our system is so vast, when it comes to interconnectivity and how the world reacts to the players.[7]

Treasure hunting

Treasure hunting is not exactly "cartography", but it does involve maps that help to pinpoint the location of hidden treasures throughout the world.[13][14][15][16][17]

  • Treasures (and treasure maps) will enable players to reap economic gains from exploration.[14]
  • The more treasure a player finds the better maps they can create.[17]
  • Hints are given through rumor mills, interaction with different NPCs, and gaining access to potential dig sites.[17]
  • Treasure hunting will be a "way of life" rather than a profession.[16]

Treasures may also be obtained through fishing and by exploring naval content.[18][19]
