The Adventurers Guides Hub

This hub is the map for playing The Adventurers after the 1.0 release on 31 August 2026. Eternal Vigilance Entertainment shipped a finished single-player mercenary sandbox set on the world of Shion: you form a company, take work from towns, fight on a hex grid, and live with permadeath. These pages do not invent extra classes or hidden stats. They walk the systems the official Adventurer Guide and patch notes actually describe.

Read this hub when you need a route, not a lore dump. New players should start with origins and the walk into Prycoast. Anyone bouncing off night fights or broken weapons should jump to combat and equipment. If a campaign is dying to wages and morale, open party management before you take another red contract.

Getting started and the demo

The getting started guide covers campaign origins (Lone Wolf, Brothers in Arms, New Band, Custom), the six primary stats, the first walk to Prycoast, Town Hall contracts, camp jobs, and the Walk versus Run choice on the overworld. Custom starts later in Early Access defaulted to Paladin, Wizard, and Cleric; you can still rebuild around Warrior, Archer, and Thief.

If you have not bought the game, read the demo guide first. The August 2026 demo lasts eight in-game days, includes custom start, and had its Early Access tag removed at 1.0. It teaches the loop. It does not give you the full map, fort network, or world crises.

Combat, gear, and the company

The combat guide is the hex-battle page: Energy from Resolve, recovery from Vitality, pierce versus slash and bash, combat fog of war at night and in caves, unstable platforms, status effects, weapon break, gang-up, and opportunity. Terrain matters — mud, high ground, choke points — without fake accuracy percentages.

The equipment guide is the town-and-durability page: blacksmith craft and smelt timers, the five-gold rush, the enchanter, trade goods that stack to nine, plate and chain energy penalties, and which weapons scale with Strength, Agility, or Resolve.

The party management guide is the camp-and-payroll page: morale, the fifteen personality types, daily wages, tavern recruits, fort soldiers, relationship bonuses added in 9.7.5, and who you put on cook, socialize, hunt, maintain gear, or guard.

Class pages live under the characters hub if you need Warrior, Archer, Thief, Wizard, or the support group. Party ideas sit on the tier list and party comps once you understand the stats.

Work, travel, and the 1.0 world

The quests guide covers Town Hall contracts, Search jobs, timers versus walking speed, town defend and patrol work, tavern rumors, and the named world crises: Crown Of Ash, Iron Crisis, Shattered Veil, Silent Concord, Gilded Eclipse, and Verdant Reckoning.

The travel and world guide stays on the overworld: Prycoast as the start town, supplies, forts, forest mud and desert or snow as difficult terrain, and why fog of war is a combat rule, not an exploration fog. Strongfey Dell and the nearby goblin cave appear only as early-route examples from playthroughs, not as a complete atlas. The lost city of Ormill is mentioned there as a place name, not as a crisis.

Patch context lives on the updates hub and the roadmap. 1.0 shortened fort request duration by 50 percent (minimum two days) and raised those rewards by 30 percent, added quest ending text, rebalanced Agility block and parry, raised Resolve magic damage, and opened more of the game to modding.

Secrets, review, and how to use this wiki

The secrets page is the lesser-known systems list: official per-point formulas, Charisma using the highest party member for shop prices, Scout revealing resistances, Gifted experience, death-adjacent abilities, cave versus outdoor view, and the Merchant buy/sell passive. It replaces older wiki text that invented Intelligence, a Knight class, a Bard, and fake camp rituals.

The review is an honest 1.0 verdict for a $12.99 Steam game with a Very Positive score, a small Austin studio, pixel art, permadeath, an AI narrator disclosure, and a demo. It is not a launch trailer in prose.

Use the guides as a stack. Learn the origin screen and Prycoast loop, then fight one hex battle with Energy in mind, then price a blacksmith job before you rush it, then look at morale before you run through the night. When a tooltip disagrees with a memory of Early Access, trust the Adventurer Guide formulas and the 1.0 notes — Agility no longer carries the block and parry weight it did in late Early Access, and Resolve magic is stronger.

This wiki is unofficial. The game is sold on Steam for Windows, marked Steam Deck Playable, with Steam Cloud and sixteen achievements. There are no promo codes; see the codes hub if a site claims otherwise.
