'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a skill which tasks the player with running a town inside the land of Melvor. Similar to {{Skill|Farming}}, it can be trained passively. However, unlike {{Skill|Farming|nolink=true}}, {{Skill|Township|nolink=true}} has no {{Icon|Mastery}} levels, and uses a unique ''tick'' system of progression. Each hour, the town will advance by one tick, during each tick [[#Resources|Resources]] and {{GP}} will be gained, which may then be reinvested into the town or converted into a number of [[Consumables]] and other resources for use in other skills.

To construct buildings, first select a biome - a list of available buildings for that biome will then be revealed. Clicking on the build button for a building where the skill level, population, and the cost requirements have been met will then construct the selected quantity of that building. Once constructed, buildings cannot be destroyed or downgraded (with the exception of [[#Worship|Worship]] related buildings, which are destroyed when the current worship changes).

Once constructed, buildings cannot be destroyed or downgraded (with the exception of [[#Worship|Worship]] related buildings, which are destroyed when the current worship changes).


Once the maximum amount of a particular building has been constructed, an option to upgrade that building to the next tier will become available, provided an upgrade exists and the skill level and population requirements have been met. Upgraded buildings will provide a greater benefit than the previous tiers of the same type of building.

The population of a town can be increased by constructing more {{TownshipIcon|Basic Shelter|Basic Shelters}} or upgrades to that building which provide population. The population is also affected by [[#Happiness|Happiness]], as the town's population is increased by the current happiness percentage, and [[#Health|Health]], where for each 1% reduction in health the town's population is also decreased by 1%.

{{TownshipIcon|Storage}} allows [[#Resources|Resources]] to be stockpiled in the Town. A Town starts with a base {{TownshipIcon|Storage}} of 50,000, where additional capacity can be gained by constructing more {{TownshipIcon|Storehouse|Storehouses}}. No resources can be gained beyond the maximum storage capacity.

=== Happiness ===
=== Happiness ===
{{TownshipIcon|Happiness}} is a modifier affecting the amount of [[#Population|Population]] a town has, and therefore also affects the amount of skill experience earned per tick. {{TownshipIcon|Happiness}} provides a flat increase to the amount of experience you earn, where 1% Happiness increases experience by 1%. Happiness has no limit, and can exceed 100%.

=== Health ===
=== Health ===
{{TownshipIcon|Health}} is a modifier which affects the [[#Population|Population]] of a town. Once {{SkillReq|Township|15}} has been reached there is a 25% chance that the health of the town will decrease by 1% during each town update, falling to a minimum of 20% health.
{{TownshipIcon|Health}} is a modifier which affects the {{TownshipIcon|Population}} and {{TownshipIcon|Fortification}} of a town, as well as [[#Abyssal Waves|Combat Value]]. Once {{SkillReq|Township|15}} has been reached there is a 25% chance that the health of the town will decrease by 1% during each town update, falling to a minimum of 20% health.


The health of a town can be improved by converting either {{TownshipIcon|Herbs}} or {{TownshipIcon|Potions}} into {{TownshipIcon|Health}}, the cost of which is 10% of the current amount generated per update for the resource being converted.

{{TownshipIcon|Fortification}} increases the Township Abyssal XP gained per Victory against an Abyssal Wave. It is gained by building {{TownshipIcon|Wooden Walls|Walls}}, {{TownshipIcon|Ethereal Altar|Altars}}, and the {{TownshipIcon|Enchanted Tower}}.


=== Worship ===
=== Worship ===
{{TownshipIcon|Worship}} is a stat that provides multiple powerful bonuses based on the chosen deity. It is gained by building {{TownshipIcon|Chapel|Chapels}} or {{TownshipIcon|Statue of Worship|Statues of Worship}} and has a set cap of 2,000. Note that although each Deity is associated with a different {{TownshipIcon|Statue of Worship}}, all statues provide an identical amount of worship.

Note that although each Deity is associated with a different {{TownshipIcon|Statue of Worship}}, all statues provide an identical amount of worship.


Some worship bonuses are always active, while others are active when certain worship checkpoints have been reached, being 5%, 25%, 50%, 85%, and 95% of the worship cap of 2,000. In addition, some worships have the magnitude of their positive modifiers doubled during their bonus [[#Season|Season]]. For example, while {{TownshipIcon|Spring|nolink=true}} is the current season, the 5% bonus from {{MonsterIcon|Aeris}} would provide a +50% production bonus to buildings within {{TownshipIcon|Mountains|nolink=true}} rather than the usual +25%.

A deity to worship is initially selected when the town is first created, and can then be changed later at a cost of {{GP|50000000}}. Upon changing, the town will enter a period of unrest during which time all {{TownshipIcon|Chapel|Chapels}} and {{TownshipIcon|Statue of Nothing|Statues}} will be destroyed, and the efficiency of all buildings above 50% will be reduced to 50%. The consequences of changing worship are therefore significant, and the player should ensure they are fully prepared with adequate resources to repair buildings prior to changing.

== Resources ==
== Buildings and Resources ==
There are a total of 13 resources. The production of all resources can be increased through {{TownshipIcon|Education}}, stacking additively with any regular modifiers.
There are a total of 13 Melvor and 7 {{ItA}} Abyssal Township building resources that are produced by, and used to purchase buildings:
===Melvor Resources===
* {{TownshipIcon|GP}}
* {{TownshipIcon|Food}}
* {{TownshipIcon|Wood}}
* {{TownshipIcon|Planks}}

{{TownshipIcon|GP}} is a special type of resource that is deposited directly into the player's [[Bank]], while the other 12 resources are kept within {{TownshipIcon|Storage}}. This is the only resource that is not affected by resource production bonuses. GP is earned by taxing the town's [[#Population|Population]], where the tax rate starts at 0% and increases by 10% for each {{TownshipIcon|Town Hall}} that is built, up to a maximum of 80%. Citizens are taxed every town update, and the amount of GP earned in tax from each citizen is {{GP|1.5}} for every 10% of tax rate. The amount of GP earned can be affected by Township specific GP production modifiers, such as those present within some [[#Seasons|Seasons]], although is not affected by global GP modifiers such as from {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}.
The production of all resources can be increased through {{TownshipIcon|Education}}, stacking additively with any regular modifiers.


The other 12 resources may be used within the [[#Town|Town]], or traded via the {{TownshipIcon|Trading Post}} to obtain items for the player. The amount of resources produced by a building can be calculated as follows:
{{TownshipIcon|GP}}, {{TownshipIcon|Abyssal Pieces}} and {{Icon|Abyssal Slayer Coins}} are special types of resources that are deposited directly into the player's [[Bank]], while the other 12 Melvor resources are kept within {{TownshipIcon|Storage}} and the 6 Abyssal resources are kept within {{TownshipIcon|Soul Storage}}. This is the only resource that is not affected by resource production bonuses.
 
The 18 primary resources may be used within the [[#Town|Town]] to construct buildings, or traded via the {{TownshipIcon|Trading Post}} to obtain items for the player. The amount of resources produced by a building can be calculated as follows:
<math>\textrm{Production} = \textrm{Base Amount} \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\textrm{Biome & Building Production Bonus}}{100} \right ) \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\textrm{Education} + \textrm{Resource Production Bonus}}{100} \right ) \times \frac{\textrm{Building Efficiency}}{100}</math>

The amount of GP earned can be affected by Township specific GP production modifiers, such as those present within some [[#Seasons|Seasons]], although is not affected by global GP modifiers such as from {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}.
{{TownshipIcon|Abyssal Pieces}} and {{Icon|Abyssal Slayer Coins}} are earned through fighting [[#Abyssal Waves|Abyssal Waves]] after the respective Skill Tree bonuses have been obtained. These are typically found on the right side of the Township Skill Tree.

=== Trading Post ===
=== Trading Post ===
The {{TownshipIcon|Trading Post}} enables players to exchange their Township resources for various [[Consumables]] and other resources for use within other [[:Category:Skills|Skills]]. Trading becomes available once the player has built at least one {{TownshipIcon|Trading Post|nolink=true}}, with the resource cost of trades decreasing by 0.33% for each trading post that is built.

Seasons are periods of time during which modifiers affecting the quantity of various [[#Resources|Resources]] and [[#Stats|Stats]] relevant to that season are active. Seasons last for three days each, with the first season when a town is created being {{TownshipIcon|Spring|nolink=true}}. Once a season has ended the next season will begin, with the regular seasons progressing in the following order: {{TownshipIcon|Spring|nolink=true}}, {{TownshipIcon|Summer|nolink=true}}, {{TownshipIcon|Fall|nolink=true}}, and {{TownshipIcon|Winter|nolink=true}}.

In addition to these four seasons, there are two rare seasons which may only occur while the town is using the relevant [[#Worship|Worship]]:
In addition to these four seasons, there are three rare seasons which may only occur under certain circumstances:

* {{ItA}} {{TownshipIcon|Eternal Darkness|nolink=true}}, which may only occur while {{TownshipIcon|Statue of Xon|Xon}} is the current worship


While worships with rare seasons are active, these seasons have a 20% chance of appearing in place of any of the regular seasons when the current season ends. While a rare season is active it is not possible to change the current [[#Worship|Worship]]. Once a rare season ends, either another rare season may begin with a 20% chance, or the cycle of regular seasons continues where it left off.

Tasks can be divided into two broad categories: Casual, and permanent. A complete list of tasks, their requirements, and their rewards can be seen on the [[Township/Tasks|Task list]] page.
=== Main Tasks ===
{{Main|Reference=Township/Tasks#Main|Name=List of Main Tasks}}
Main tasks may be completed once, granting the task's unique rewards upon completion. Certain Township related {{Icon|Shop}} purchases and trades within the [[#Trading Post|Trading Post]] are unlocked once a certain amount of main tasks have been completed.


=== Casual Tasks ===
=== Casual Tasks ===
Casual tasks are randomly assigned to the player, with up to five new tasks being assigned each day. The maximum amount of casual tasks which can be held at the same time is five, and may be removed by either:
{{Main|Reference=Township/Tasks#Casual|Name=List of Casual Tasks}}
Casual tasks are randomly assigned to the player every 5 hours, and they may be duplicates of previous completed casual tasks. However, no new casual task will be assigned if the player already has 5 incomplete casual tasks and any new task will not be a duplicate of one that is currently assigned. A casual task may ''only'' be removed by either:
* Completing the task and claiming its rewards
* Completing the task and claiming its rewards
* Skipping the task for the stated {{GP}} [[GP]] cost, where the cost is equal to the total amount of [[Experience Table|experience]] required to reach the next Township level, up to a maximum of {{GP|10000000}}
* Skipping the task for the stated {{GP}} [[GP]] cost, where the cost is equal to the total amount of [[Experience Table|experience]] required to reach the next Township level, up to a maximum of {{GP|10000000}}


The daily refresh of casual tasks does not remove incomplete tasks - they must be removed using one of the methods stated above.
Currently, all casual tasks are related to content in the base game. There aren't any for the expansions.
 
Each casual task assigned should be completeable without needing to level up skills or mastery. This is because the player must meet [[Tasks#Casual|requirements]] relevant to the casual task (such as skill level, dungeon completion, and finding items) before the task can be received.


Casual tasks can provide a combination of {{GP}} [[GP]], {{SC}} [[Slayer Coins]], {{Skill|Township|nolink=true}} experience, and [[#Resources|Resources]] as a reward, where the amount of the currency and experience rewards is determined as follows:
Casual tasks can provide a combination of {{GP}} [[GP]], {{SC}} [[Slayer Coins]], {{Skill|Township|nolink=true}} experience, and [[#Resources|Resources]] as a reward, where the amount of the currency and experience rewards is determined as follows:

* The amount of {{Skill|Township|nolink=true}} experience is equal to 9% of the total [[Experience Table|experience]] between the player's current Township level and the next level
* The amount of {{GP}} [[GP]] is five times the amount of Township experience awarded
* The amount of {{GP}} [[GP]] is five times the amount of Township experience awarded
* The amount of {{SC}} [[Slayer Coins]] is 1,000 times the player's {{Skill|Slayer}} level
* The amount of {{SC}} [[Slayer Coins]] is 1,000 times the player's {{Skill|Slayer}} level. Slayer coin multipliers no longer affect township rewards.


=== Other Tasks ===
== Skillcapes ==
All other tasks are permanent tasks which may only be completed once and do not change on a daily basis. Many of the Township related [[Shop#Township|Shop purchases]] are locked behind completing a certain number of these tasks.
 
== Shop Items ==
One of the ways Township interacts with the rest of the game is by unlocking a variety of useful {{Icon|Shop}} purchases.

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:
 
*'''Increased Skill XP:''' Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.

Into the Abyss Expansion

Township is a skill which tasks the player with running a town inside the land of Melvor. Similar to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

, it can be trained passively. However, unlike

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township

has no

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

levels, and uses a unique tick system of progression. Each hour, a town update will occur, during which Resources and GP GP will be gained, which may then be reinvested into the town or converted into a number of Consumables and other resources for use in other skills.

Over time, both the Health of the town's Population and efficiency of Buildings will deteriorate, with buildings requiring Repair in order to remain fully productive.

One of the ways Township interacts with the rest of the game is by unlocking a variety of useful

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shop Purchases

.

Town

A

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Town

contains Buildings that are used to produce Resources and GP GP for the player. The buildings are built within Biomes, where each biome can accommodate different types of buildings and is subject to different production bonuses provided by the selected Worship.

Building and Upgrading

To construct buildings, first select a biome - a list of available buildings for that biome will then be revealed. Clicking on the build button for a building where the skill level, population, and the cost requirements have been met will then construct the selected quantity of that building. Once constructed, buildings cannot be destroyed or downgraded (with the exception of Worship related buildings, which are destroyed when the current worship changes).

Once the maximum amount of a particular building has been constructed, an option to upgrade that building to the next tier will become available, provided an upgrade exists and the skill level and population requirements have been met. Upgraded buildings will provide a greater benefit than the previous tiers of the same type of building.

Repairing Buildings

Buildings which have been built will initially start with 100% efficiency and then degrade randomly over time - for every town update there is a 25% chance that each building will degrade by a flat 1%, down to a minimum efficiency of 20%. The exceptions to this are all Storage and Soul Storage buildings which do not degrade over time. The current efficiency of a building can be seen as a percentage in the top-left corner of that building's tile. While degraded, buildings which provide Resources or Stats will provide less of that resource or stat.

There are two ways to return a building to 100% efficiency:

  • Repair the building, at the cost of the resources stated at the bottom of that building's tile
  • If the maximum number of a building has yet to be built, constructing another one of that building will also fully repair that building. This has the benefit of avoiding the repair cost that would otherwise have to be paid

The repair cost of a building depends on the cost of constructing the building (after any building cost reducing bonuses), the building's efficiency, and any increased or decreased repair cost bonuses, where each

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Market

built decreases the repair cost by 0.25%. The minimum repair cost is 1 resource. The repair cost of a building can be calculated as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Repair Cost} = \frac{\text{Base Building Cost}}{3} \times \text{Buildings Built} \times \left ( 1 - \frac{\text{Building Cost Reduction %}}{100} \right ) \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Repair Cost %}}{100} \right ) \times \left ( 1 - \frac{\text{Building Efficiency %}}{100} \right ) }[/math]

Where:

  • Buildings Built is the number of buildings currently built within the biome in which the repair is taking place
  • Building Cost Reduction % is capped at 80%
  • Repair Cost % is the result of [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Increased Repair Cost - Decreased Repair Cost} }[/math]
  • Building Efficiency is the current building efficiency percentage which can be found in the top left corner of the building

Biomes

There are ten biomes in total, where a different assortment of buildings may be built within each. Some of these biomes have level and population requirements that must be met before they may be accessed. Depending on the selected

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Worship

buildings within some biomes can produce more or fewer resources than the same buildings within other biomes.

Stats

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statistics

are various properties in the Town that do not take up

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

space. These can be seen as cards immediately above the various Resources for a town.

Population

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

is a core feature of Township. The population of a town affects how much skill XP is gained per town update (1 XP is provided per citizen, before any XP bonuses), and is a requirement for many Biomes and Buildings. The population of a town can be increased by constructing more

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Basic Shelters

or upgrades to that building which provide population. The population is also affected by Happiness, as the town's population is increased by the current happiness percentage, and Health, where for each 1% reduction in health the town's population is also decreased by 1%.

If any buildings providing population or happiness degrade or if the health of the town decreases, then the town's population will decrease also - this can be alleviated by ensuring these buildings are regularly Repaired and the health of the town is maintained at or near 100%.

Storage

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

allows Resources to be stockpiled in the Town. A Town starts with a base Storage value of 50,000, where additional capacity can be gained by constructing more

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storehouses

. No resources can be gained beyond the maximum storage capacity.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Soul Storage

allows

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Abyssal Resources to be stockpiled in the Town. A Town starts with a base Soul Storage value of 1, where additional capacity can be gained by constructing more

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Sanctuaries

.

The maximum amount of each resource that can accumulate can be configured by visiting the "Maximum Storage" section of the Township page. Here the resource cap for each resource can be configured, and if needed excess resources can be discarded by using the "Yeet Resources" section.

Happiness

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is a modifier affecting the amount of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

a town has, and therefore also affects the amount of skill experience earned per town update.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

provides a flat increase to the amount of experience you earn, where 1% Happiness increases experience by 1%. Happiness has no limit, and can exceed 100%.

Seasons can also influence the happiness of your town, for example Winter and Nightfall reduces happiness, while Summer and Solar Eclipse increases happiness.

Education

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

is a modifier to the amount of resources each building produces.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

provides a flat increase to the resource production, where 1% education increases the amount of resources produced by 1%. Education has no limit, and can exceed 100%.

Health

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Health

is a modifier which affects the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fortification

of a town, as well as Combat Value. Once

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 15

has been reached there is a 25% chance that the health of the town will decrease by 1% during each town update, falling to a minimum of 20% health. The health of a town can be improved by converting either Herbs or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Potions

into

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Health

, the cost of which is 10% of the current amount generated per update for the resource being converted.

Fortification

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fortification

increases the Township Abyssal XP gained per Victory against an Abyssal Wave. It is gained by building

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Walls

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Altars

, and the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Enchanted Tower

.

Worship

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Worship

is a stat that provides multiple powerful bonuses based on the chosen deity. It is gained by building

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Chapels

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statues of Worship

and has a set cap of 2,000. Note that although each Deity is associated with a different

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statue of Worship

, all statues provide an identical amount of worship.

Some worship bonuses are always active, while others are active when certain worship checkpoints have been reached, being 5%, 25%, 50%, 85%, and 95% of the worship cap of 2,000. In addition, some worships have the magnitude of their positive modifiers doubled during their bonus Season. For example, while Spring is the current season, the 5% bonus from Aeris would provide a +50% production bonus to buildings within Mountains rather than the usual +25%.

A deity to worship is initially selected when the town is first created, and can then be changed later at a cost of 50,000,000GP. Upon changing, the town will enter a period of unrest during which time all

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Chapels

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Statues

will be destroyed, and the efficiency of all buildings above 50% will be reduced to 50%. The consequences of changing worship are therefore significant, and the player should ensure they are fully prepared with adequate resources to repair buildings prior to changing.

A worship can be changed by clicking the Bar Graph icon by the Biome selection list then clicking 'Change' next to the current Worship.

All bonuses are additive with one another.

Buildings and Resources

There are a total of 13 Melvor and 7

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Abyssal Township building resources that are produced by, and used to purchase buildings:

Melvor Resources

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    GP

The production of all resources can be increased through

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

, stacking additively with any regular modifiers.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Pieces

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Slayer Coins

are special types of resources that are deposited directly into the player's Bank, while the other 12 Melvor resources are kept within

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

and the 6 Abyssal resources are kept within

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Soul Storage

. This is the only resource that is not affected by resource production bonuses. The 18 primary resources may be used within the Town to construct buildings, or traded via the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Trading Post

to obtain items for the player. The amount of resources produced by a building can be calculated as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{Production} = \textrm{Base Amount} \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\textrm{Biome & Building Production Bonus}}{100} \right ) \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\textrm{Education} + \textrm{Resource Production Bonus}}{100} \right ) \times \frac{\textrm{Building Efficiency}}{100} }[/math]

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP

is earned by taxing the town's Population, where the tax rate starts at 0% and increases by 10% for each

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Town Hall

that is built, up to a maximum of 80%. Citizens are taxed every town update, and the amount of GP earned in tax from each citizen is 1.5GP for every 10% of tax rate. The amount of GP earned can be affected by Township specific GP production modifiers, such as those present within some Seasons, although is not affected by global GP modifiers such as from Aorpheat's Signet Ring.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Pieces

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Slayer Coins

are earned through fighting Abyssal Waves after the respective Skill Tree bonuses have been obtained. These are typically found on the right side of the Township Skill Tree.

Buildings

Trading Post

The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Trading Post

enables players to exchange their Township resources for various Consumables and other resources for use within other Skills. Trading becomes available once the player has built at least one Trading Post, with the resource cost of trades decreasing by 0.33% for each Trading Post that is built, for a total of a 49.5% reduction after all 150 Trading Posts have been built.

Seasons

Seasons are periods of time during which modifiers affecting the quantity of various Resources and Stats relevant to that season are active. Seasons last for three days each, with the first season when a town is created being Spring. Once a season has ended the next season will begin, with the regular seasons progressing in the following order: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

In addition to these four seasons, there are three rare seasons which may only occur under certain circumstances:

  • Nightfall, which may only occur while
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Bane
    is the current worship
  • Solar Eclipse, which may only occur while
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    The Herald
    is the current worship
  • Lemon Season, which may only occur after a Township Relic has been located in Ancient Relics.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Eternal Darkness
    , which may only occur while
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Xon
    is the current worship

While worships with rare seasons are active, these seasons have a 20% chance of appearing in place of any of the regular seasons when the current season ends. While a rare season that requires a Worship is active it is not possible to change the current Worship. Once a rare season ends, either another rare season may begin with a 20% chance, or the cycle of regular seasons continues where it left off.

Unlike other seasons, Lemon Season only lasts for 24 hours instead of the standard 72 hours.

Tasks

Tasks are a set of requests from your Township for item donations, bounties on monsters, building township buildings or, rarely, earning skill XP. In return, you will receive either

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township

Skill XP, Township Resources,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer Coins

, or items.

Tasks can be divided into two broad categories: Main, and casual. A complete list of tasks, their requirements, and their rewards can be seen on the Task list page.

Main Tasks

Main tasks may be completed once, granting the task's unique rewards upon completion. Certain Township related

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shop

purchases and trades within the Trading Post are unlocked once a certain amount of main tasks have been completed.

Casual Tasks

Casual tasks are randomly assigned to the player every 5 hours, and they may be duplicates of previous completed casual tasks. However, no new casual task will be assigned if the player already has 5 incomplete casual tasks and any new task will not be a duplicate of one that is currently assigned. A casual task may only be removed by either:

  • Completing the task and claiming its rewards
  • Skipping the task for the stated GP GP cost, where the cost is equal to the total amount of experience required to reach the next Township level, up to a maximum of 10,000,000GP

Currently, all casual tasks are related to content in the base game. There aren't any for the expansions.

Each casual task assigned should be completeable without needing to level up skills or mastery. This is because the player must meet requirements relevant to the casual task (such as skill level, dungeon completion, and finding items) before the task can be received.

Casual tasks can provide a combination of GP GP, SC Slayer Coins,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township

experience, and Resources as a reward, where the amount of the currency and experience rewards is determined as follows:

  • The amount of
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Township
    experience is equal to 9% of the total experience between the player's current Township level and the next level
  • The amount of GP GP is five times the amount of Township experience awarded
  • The amount of SC Slayer Coins is 1,000 times the player's
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Slayer
    level. Slayer coin multipliers no longer affect township rewards.

Skillcapes

Regular Skillcape

The Township Skillcape is the skillcape for the Township skill. It can be purchased for 1,000,000GP from the Shop once the player reaches

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

in the Township skill. The Township Skillcape offers the following benefits when worn:

-15% Township Building Cost (Does not affect GP cost. Capped at -80%)

Superior Skillcape

The Superior Township Skillcape is the superior skillcape for the Township skill. It can be purchased for 10,000,000GP from the Shop once the player reaches

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120

in the Township skill.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120

can only be reached if the player owns the Throne of the Herald expansion. Likewise, the superior skillcape can only be purchased if the player owns this expansion. The superior skillcape offers the following benefits when worn:

-20% Township Building Cost (Does not affect GP cost. Capped at -80%)

Pet

Skill Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

  • Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
  • Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
  • Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
  • Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
  • Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.
