Leagues and skills

Now another part of the game understands the leagues and the skills they can acquire throughout the game. In the game, there are varying leagues that the player can choose to play for. The very basic league is the standard league, which is played by the beginner mostly. It is a normal league and is not that hard to accomplish and play at. Good for building hand in the game.

Next up is the hardcore league. In this league, the quests and everything is pretty similar to standard. The only difference is that the player will have to avoid dying in it, which is also a very difficult task. One a player dies in the hardcore league; they will get demoted to the standard league.

The next league up the level is the challenge league. In these new quests are to be won, and for that, the player will get prizes. Most expert players tend to opt for the challenge league, as it allows collecting items for completing tasks. The last league is of the solo self-found, here in this, the player will have to play and cannot choose co-op.

Also, the characters tend to acquire skills on the way throughout their league path. Each character has a skill grid which they need to complete to get new skills. Also, the players can buy skills if they want by spending a few skill gems they will earn along the way. There are options for the players to collect gems and items through looting as well.
