Permadeath

Within Telos Realms, all gameplay rulesets have permadeath. This means that after a certain point, your deaths will result in a character wipe. Below is a table showing what is lost upon dying:

Permadeath losses
Type	Lost/Saved
Level	Level Down to 1/20
Fame	Transformed to Glory
Inventory	❌
Backpack	❌
Armour	❌
Runes	❌
Stash	✅
Companions	✅
Glory	✅
Transcendence	✅

Permadeath is only activated after level 20. This means that if the player dies before level 20, they lose nothing. After transcendence 5, the player will reset to level 20 instead of level 1, meaning they now permanently have permadeath active on that character.

Exalting

Untiered items can be exalted by using forge fragments of the corresponding tier, turning them into Exalted Items which can have increased stats, bonus damage, lower cooldown, or change in abilities. Whenever an item is exalted, the texture of the item changes and the "UT" tag is changed to an "EX" tag. To see all the different tiers of loot present in Telos, go towards the Loot page which lists all the different types.

In order to exalt an item, you must head to the Blacksmith in the Nexus. Upon talking to Wulfur, he will present all the different types of forges he has.

You can now click on any of the forges that you need, and this is item rarity specific. If you have an irradiated item that you want to exalt, you must go to the Irradiated Forge.

If you ever have any untiered items which you do not need, you can also transform them into fragments to exalt other items. This can be done by clicking on the forge assigned to that item, then placing the item in the GUI, and clicking on the fragment.

Quests

Quests are a core aspect of Telos, and they are split into two: the main, tutorial quest line, as well as repeatable quests. The NPC that manages quests is Ragnar found in the Quest House of the Nexus.

The tutorial questline is the primary way of learning how Telos works. It teaches the ins and out of the game while making sure that a majority of all aspects of the game are covered. This is also required to be completed in order to access the repeatable quests.

Repeatable quests are split into two: dailies and weeklies. Dailies are a separate minigame outside of the world of Telos which give the player certain rewards such as Season Pass EXP and daily Lootboost, and they change daily. There are 7 types of dailies, and they can be found in the Daily_Trials page. Weeklies are reset every Monday and are only 4 quests listed below:

Weekly Quests
Quest	Requirement	Rewards
Lowland Scavenge	Defeat 3 Lowlands Biome Dungeons	1,000 Fame Random Irradiated UT Uncommon Crate Key OR Common Crate Key Rare Mystery Key OR Uncommon Mystery Key
Gilded Hunt	Defeat 10 Centre Biome Dungeons or Minibosses	3,000 Fame Random Gilded UT Rare Crate Key OR Uncommon Crate Key Epic Mystery Key OR Rare Mystery Key
Realm Conqueror	Defeat 50 Realm Boss Dungeons or Realm Bosses	5,000 Fame Random Royal UT Epic Crate Key OR Rare Crate Key Mystery Fragment OR Extractor
Blasphemer	Defeat 5 Angelic Deities	10,000 Fame 2 Bloodshot Forge Fragments Epic Soul Point Potion or Rare Soul Point Potion

Lowland Scavenge requires the player to complete dungeons located in the Lowlands region (Beach, Jungle, Swamp, or Desert). Gilded Hunt requires the player to complete Centre region (Crimson Forest, Permafrost, or Necropolis) dungeons. Realm Conquerer requires the player to defeat Realm Bosses or the dungeons that the Realm Bosses drop. Blasphemer requires the player to kill Seraphim or Ophanim, located at the end of Celestial's Province or Rustborn Kingdom respectively. Their true versions also count towards this quest.

On Monday, there is a 33% chance for quest points to double, meaning there's a small chance that if you only kill 1 boss, you get 2 points for it.

Guilds

Guilds allow players to form a smaller community within the game, and they provide players with stats. For each tier of a guild, players will receive a +0.5 stat boost in each stat except Loot Boost, Fame Boost, and Critical Damage. This means that at maximum guild tier (Tier 5), all players apart of that guild will receive +2.5 for every stat. In addition, guilds also have a Guild Stash, which is the same as a stash page but accessible by everyone in the guild. A guild starts off with 1, and gets another every time it is upgraded to the next tier. This means that at Tier 5, the guild will have 5 stash pages.

Guild Upgrade Costs
Guild Tier	Glory Cost	Total
T1 (Creation)	10,000	10,000
T2	50,000	60,000
T3	250,000	310,000
T4	1,000,000	1,310,000
T5	5,000,000	6,310,000

Dungeon Keys

Dungeon keys are used to open the bonus chests which have a small chance of dropping after defeating the final bosses inside of a dungeon. They are obtained through two primary methods: crates & dailies, which will give the player a random dungeon key, which are also split into 5 categories listed below:

Weekly Quests
Key	Obtained Through	Possible Dungeon Keys
Common Mystery Key	Common Crate Any Completion Tier of Dailies	Skull Cavern Thornwood Wargrove Goblin Lair Desert Temple Sakura Shrine Secluded Woodland
Uncommon Mystery Key	Uncommon Crate Silver+ Completion of Dailies Lowland Scavenge Weekly Quest	Abyss Of Demons Undead Lair Ice Cave Dwarven Frostkeep Treasure Cave Depths Of Purgatory Frozen Ruins Kobold's Den Corvus Crypt
Rare Mystery Key	Rare Crate Gold+ Completion of Dailies Lowland Scavenge Weekly Quest Gilded Hunt Weekly Quest	Omnipotent's Citadel Fungal Cavern Corsair's Conductorium Chronos Freddy's Pizzeria Anubis Lair
Epic Mystery Key	Epic Crate Gold+ Completion of Dailies Gilded Hunt Weekly Quest	Cultist's Hideout Void Illarius' Hideout Rustborn Kingdom (all parts) Raphael's Castle & Raphael's Chamber Dreadwood Thicket Resounding Ruins Celestial's Province & Asmodeus Tenebris
Legendary Mystery Key	Legendary Crate	Dawn of Creation Seraph's Domain

Upon opening a dungeon bonus chest, the player "rerolls" all the possible drops that the dungeon can drop. However, opening a bonus chest does not add onto your pity and doesn't consider your previous pity.

Inventory

Telos Realms has 2 external storages for players to use when storing items.

The Stash is located in the Nexus and allows players to store items accross characters. The total storage depends on how many stash pages a player has unlocked. Only Normal and Seasonal characters can access the stash, and slots are separated by mode. Clicking the icon at the bottom of an empty stash page switches that page between Normal and Seasonal. Once items are placed on a page, only characters of the corresponding mode can access them. When a page is empty again, it can be switched to the other mode. All seasonal stashes (as well as characters) are converted to normal at the end of a season.

Backpacks are the secondary form of storage. They can be accessed via the /backpack command. Players have 36 slots in a backpack, and are limited to one per character. Every ruleset is able to use a backpack. Supporters unlock the two last rows of a backpack (up to 54 total slots).

Loot Filter

The loot filter is accessible through the /loot command.

Players can exclude certain classes' drops from being able to be picked up, and include classes that they want to receive drops for.

No matter the loot filter's configuration, players will always be able to pick up untiered items.

Tier Points

Tier Points is a system in Telos Realms which stops undergreared players from entering high tier dungeons. All items in Telos Realms have a tier point attribute. Tiered items' tier points are equal to which tier they are (tier 1 items are 1 tier point and tier 11 items are 11). For untiered items their tier points are set on which type of UT they are and whether their in the UT form or EX form. For tier points to count the items must be in their correct slots and be for the correct class. For example a necromancer cannot hold a bloodshot katana for its tier points or a knight cannot hold an emblem in their main hand for its tier points. You can view your current tier points on the scoreboard.

Tiered = 1-11 (depending on the tier)
Irradiated = UT 8, EX 9
Gilded = UT 10, EX 11
Royal = UT 11, EX 12
Bloodshot = UT 13, EX 14
Voidbound = 14
Unholy = 15

Stickers and Emojis

Supporters have the ability to use emojis in chat. The format for this is :emoji_name:

Additionally, stickers can be bought in the store. Stickers for purchase are rotated on a monthly basis, and are exclusive for that month.

Stickers can be used by crouching and right clicking the Adventurer’s Obelisk, activating the sticker and displaying it above your head.

Daily Bonus

Different global bonuses are given each day depending on the day of the week.

**Bonus of the Day**
Day	Bonus	Effect
Monday	Quest Day	Quest reset and 33% chance for quest points to double
Tuesday	Dungeon Day	+25% Chance for dungeons to re-drop from bosses
Wednesday	Rune Day	+33% Increase in rune drop rate
Thursday	Realm Day	-25% Decreased boss respawn time
Friday	Fragment Day	+25% Increase in fragment drop rate
Saturday	Companion Day	+25% Increase in gold bag drop rate
Sunday	Fame Day	+25% Fame gain

Season Pass

The Season Pass is a mechanic that provides both free and paid for content by just playing the game and earning Seasonal Pass XP. The Season Pass can be accessed by the NPC 'Thorian' in the nexus.

The Season pass has a total of 1,000,000 XP to be earned, with 50 reward tiers. 10 of these tiers are locked behind the Premium Season Pass.

Rewards in the Season Pass can be many things like keys, permanent slots, soul point potions, and companion skins.

Seasonal Events

During certain timeperiods of the year Telos shifts, paving the way for unique entities to enter the realm.

Seasonal Events serve as a way to enjoy real-life holidays into Telos Realms. They consist of a unique boss, reskins and store bundles.
