Roadmap

Where the isles are headed — what's here today, what we're building now, and what's further out. It's a compass, not a contract: plans shift as the world takes shape and as players weigh in.

Indicative and subject to change. This roadmap shows direction, not dates or promises. Priorities move — and your votes help move them.

Quests at launch

Thirty quests will be ready at launch — twenty free-to-play and ten for members, ranging from easy to hard. Every quest awards Quest XP toward a single Quest Level that climbs to 999 on a much steeper curve than the skills (999 is 99 million XP), so it's a lifelong pursuit few will ever finish. Most quests award between 100 and 1,000 Quest XP, scaling with difficulty.
