Trailborn RPG Patch 18
A major content update introducing the Party System, with new XP mechanics, party leveling, and party-wide buffs.
Party System
Parties are now live. Create or join a party using /party_invite or !party_invite followed by a @mention or username. Check your party at any time with /party or !party. Maximum party size is 6 players. When forming a new party, invited players must be within 5 levels of your own level. When already in a party, invites must be within 5 levels of the party's average level.
XP Mechanics
While individual XP gain may appear lower in a party, total group XP increases with party size: 2 players (105%), 3 players (107.5%), 4 players (110%), 5 players (112.5%), 6 players (115%). When a party member defeats an enemy or collects materials, a share of that XP is stored for all other members and released when each player takes their next combat or collection action.
Party Leveling and Buffs
Parties have their own leveling system. Party XP scales based on the number of players and the party's current level, gaining +5% XP per level. Each party level grants 8 Party Points, which leaders can spend on temporary party-wide buffs including increased run chance, higher crit rate, doubled HP and MP potion effects in combat, and boosted XP or drop rates.
Minor Tweaks
The first class change now requires 7 kills instead of 12 to better match early-level pacing. A "Join Official Discord" button has been added to player profiles.
