BEFORE YOU CROSS
HOW TO PLAY
WHAT DO I ACTUALLY DO?
Pick a townsfolk, walk out of the Hearth, and press E on anything — trees, veins, waters, caps, plots, pens, mobs. Everything grants XP in one of 8 skills and loot for your 24-slot satchel.
HOW DO I EARN?
Two ways. Rune Shards shake loose from every node, plot and beaten foe — ten shards forge into a rune worth 25 $RUNE at the altar. And gold itself trades 100:1 for $RUNE. Queue a payout with Phantom connected; it pays on-chain at launch.
WHAT'S THE CATCH?
The Scorch. The best nodes sit in the one zone where dying drops your entire satchel and 10% of your gold at a tombstone. Bank before you cross the south portal — or don't, and run it back.
DO I NEED A WALLET?
No. Progress saves in your browser and gold accrues without one. Connect Phantom whenever you like — we never simulate addresses.
TOKENOMICS — THE FINE PRINT
WHAT IS $RUNE?+
$RUNE is Runaria's token on Solana — 1,000,000,000 fixed supply, fair launched on pump.fun with no presale and no team allocation.
HOW DOES THE GAME PAY OUT?+
Everything you earn converts to a claimable balance at the Rune Altar. Requesting a payout queues it to your Phantom wallet; the queue settles on-chain in order once the token is live, funded by the payout treasury.
WHERE DOES THE TREASURY COME FROM?+
Creator rewards from the fair launch seed the payout treasury. The game itself never sells; it only pays the queue.
CAN I EARN WITHOUT BUYING ANYTHING?+
Yes — earning is purely from playing. Connect a wallet, gather, forge runes. Buying the token is optional and separate from playing.
WHAT STOPS FARMING ABUSE?+
Demo mode earns nothing, payouts are wallet-bound and ordered, and per-wallet settlement caps apply at launch. Rates are rebalanced after real price discovery.
Free to play. No signup. No wallet needed. Saves in your browser.
THE FIRE'S LIT. THE VALE IS WAITING.
No signup. No wallet needed to try. Your first shard is a swing away.
