In the upcoming cooperative action RPG Dauntless, you will be able to use an in-game shop that now includes not only cosmetic items.
Dauntless will be launched with a Free2Play model, making an in-game shop necessary to finance the operation and further development of the role-playing game. The developers stated that there will definitely be no items for sale in the shop that create a Pay2Win situation. Only cosmetic items are intended to be available there.
Gathering resources is very important
But that’s not entirely true. In Dauntless, crafting is important. To craft powerful weapons and armor, you need to gather appropriate resources, which you obtain after defeating one of the Behemoths.
Behemoths, the giant opponents, revert back to the substance Aether from which they were created after their demise. This Aether must be collected to craft new gear. Additionally, it is possible to obtain trophies from the monsters that you can also use to craft weapons and armor.
The Aether brings you to the city of Ramsgate, where the blacksmith Arkan Drew crafts gear for you from it. Depending on which Behemoth you have defeated, the Aether has different properties and can be transformed into various items. Some gear also requires several different materials, meaning you will need to hunt not just one, but multiple Behemoths. It may therefore take a bit longer to gather all the necessary resources. And this is where the in-game shop comes into play.
Boosters make it easier for you to gather resources
In addition to cosmetic items that allow you to personalize your hero, you will also find boosters in the shop that enable you to gather more resources from a defeated Behemoth. You have the choice of Champion and Patron boosters. Champion boosters only affect you, while Patron boosters affect the entire adventure party. With a Patron booster, you also have the chance to obtain cosmetic items from Behemoths.
The boosters will only be active for a specific period. How long, the developers of the action RPG Dauntless will still determine, just like the price. Dauntless will start its first alpha this month. The developers will announce a specific date soon.
