Custom systems

More than a shard. A full game world.

Perilous Legends is being built around places to fight, reasons to explore, and social systems that make the shard feel alive between dungeon pulls and PvP queues.

One Account. One Character. Infinite Builds.

Personality system allows you to change your character builds while remaining the same character, forcing your name and actions to follow you across all playstyles. On Perilous Legends, your reputation matters.

Flight Paths

With the Moongates destroyed, citizens had to create alternative modes of travel. Perilous Legends features Flight Paths that send you quickly to your destination on the back of a flying mount over the world.

Hamlet Siege System

Player guilds can claim control of Hamlets in-game and have control over the only source of Amorite and Amorwood, both extremely powerful resources used to craft powerful weapons and armor as well as pet equipment. But beware: enemy guilds will covet your Hamlet and surely lay siege to it for control, instigating political rivalries and server-wide events.

Trade Pack Economy

Grow materials in your homes and farms. Use them to craft local trade pack recipes. Carry them across the country to other regions for large rewards, or take even more risk and sail to Tortuga Isle when the Black Market Vendor is spawned to claim even greater rewards. Beware of pirates and ruffians.

Tortuga Isle

A new, sizable landmass in the far eastern ocean that houses the Black Market Vendor, Prize Fish Buyer, a Champion Spawn with powerful rewards, and a World Boss. Beware of pirates, though, as this island follows no laws.

Tortuga Isle

Sportsfishing

Purchase a fishing boat and sail the seas in search of sport fish to catch. These giant fish are too large to carry more than one at a time, and your boat can hold up to four more. Sail them to a Prize Fish Buyer and get rewarded handsomely. Beware of pirates!

New Skills: Enchanting & Skinning

Gather rare materials from slain mobs and use them at an enchanting station to make your own and your pets' equipment more powerful. Find rare enchantment recipes as high-end loot and become the only enchanter in the land with that capability.

Engaging Boating System

Captain one of four types of warship and sail the lawless oceans, defeating pirates, deadly ghost ships, and rare Armada Events. Beware other captains: are they friend or foe? Customize your ship with many different upgrades and crewmen.

Make Creature Allies

Befriend an intelligent dolphin and have it help you scout the seas or fly under the radar of ships. Gain powerful allies through your Animal Taming and equip them with gear to protect and strengthen them. Enchant that gear to go further.

Unique Loot

Find Rare, Ultra Rare, Legendary, Mythical, and even Unique tiers of loot in your travels. Truly unique, highly desirable items that include one-of-a-kind clothing, hued ethereal mounts, Spell Hue collections, and more. Once they drop, they are forever removed from the pool and remain one of a kind for all time.

The First Real World Economy Server

Real Money Trade has existed for 20 years and exists on every modern server with one caveat. Money can only flow in one direction. User to Owner. Perilous Legends believes that gamers own their own time and assets. If there is a market for it, they have the right to engage in trade safely and without fear of bad actors, breaking rules, or consequences. Our premium currency, Perilous Marks, is used in the cosmetic shop as well as the Global Auction House. Players trade items to each other for Perilous Marks and are able to redeem their Marks for USDC (United States Dollar Coin) to the wallet automatically created and assigned to their account on creation. The players own and control the market in a safe and secure manner.

Blackjack table in the Perilous Legends casino

Poker, craps, blackjack, roulette, and more.

When the dungeon run ends, the real degeneracy begins. Perilous Legends includes a full casino experience with table games, chance games, and room for the kind of social chaos UO players never forget.
