BASE ORIGINS

Phantom

A spectral infiltrator able to phase through matter and disappear.

Overview

A spectral infiltrator able to phase through matter and disappear. This is a primary choice or class available in your pack’s selection screen and is best understood as a complete lifestyle rather than a single buff.

Strength

Phasing and invisibility provide exceptional escape and exploration utility.

Trade-off

Sunlight, hunger pressure and lower resilience force careful planning.

Natural role

Useful for underground inspections or dangerous salvage rather than open-day logistics.

Sunlight protection available

Origins: Umbrellas is installed. Holding an umbrella protects a Phantom from sunlight, providing a daytime travel option while the item is in use.

How it plays

Phasing and invisibility provide exceptional escape and exploration utility. Sunlight, hunger pressure and lower resilience force careful planning.

Useful for underground inspections or dangerous salvage rather than open-day logistics. In a world built around ordinary travel, railways and player-run shops, an Origin becomes most satisfying when its abilities open a profession or destination rather than bypassing the rest of the server.

Starting priorities and builds

First days

  • Carry reliable food and light while scouting structures; unusual movement is strongest when you remain prepared for combat.
  • Secure a food source matching your diet early rather than treating supplies as an afterthought.

Good infrastructure

  • Vertical workshops, maintenance shafts and secure storage rooms suit a climbing or infiltration-style character.
Plan around drawbacks
  • This Origin has meaningful environmental or defensive risk. Build safe routes and carry backup equipment before committing to long trips.

Shared-world and economy role

  • Food constraints create demand for farms, kitchens and market shops supplied through regular transport.

Create factories and physical markets give specialised characters recurring work: supplying resources, surveying new routes, maintaining stations, operating shops or providing expedition support.
