Everything needed to begin playing Duskfarer—from the first supply pack to surviving the frontier.
01
START HERE
Your first session
New Wayfarers arrive at Firstlight Camp, a quiet training stop before the wider world. The playable guide points to real controls and saves each completed objective.
Meet Mara.Open Orders and accept “A Pack for the Road.”
Gather supplies.Follow green diamond markers to harvest two Sungrain and draw Clearwater.
Inspect Cargo.Check capacity and confirm that gathered supplies reached your bag.
Craft medicine.Use the workshop: 2 Sungrain + 1 Clearwater makes 1 Fen Medicine.
Return and depart.Claim Mara’s commission, then take the sheltered road to Emberrest.

SUPPLIES
Cargo, gathering and craft
Every good occupies cargo space. Local markets hold real settlement stock: buying lowers stock and can raise the next price; selling replenishes stock. Gathering nodes require proximity, deplete, and recover after roughly 25 seconds.

05
BEYOND THE GATE
Travel and danger
Travel follows connected roads one region at a time. Walk to an in-world exit sign for free departure; the Road Atlas and Caravan panel book a paid Marks shortcut from anywhere. Shortcuts still face road encounters. Before departure, review access, wagon condition, cargo risk and the route ahead. Active deliveries can attract raiders even on otherwise safe roads.
Enemies have assignments: some guard valuable resource sites, while others patrol cargo routes. A GUARDED resource marker cannot be gathered until its guard moves away or is defeated. You can choose another site, lure the patrol off its post, or prepare for combat. Cargo interceptors can damage your wagon, so a loaded delivery deserves a plan.
A defeat costs half of each carried stack. Combat 10 and 25 Standing required.
06
PROGRESSION
Three rewards. Three jobs.
Completing an order can pay Marks, build Standing and award Trail Score. They are separate; none converts into the native token.
Marks · spend
Ordinary game money. Buy supplies, trade, craft and repair. Guests can earn and spend Marks.
Standing · unlock
Lasting trust with settlements. It opens harder roads and opportunities; you cannot spend it.
Trail Score · compete
Your verified score for the current season. It determines leaderboard rank, including eligibility for the separate top-10 airdrop. A new season starts a new score.
Every character earns Standing from completed commissions and deliveries to unlock more roads. Only a wallet-linked character with a verified 5,000-token activation burn can earn seasonal Trail Score and competitive rewards. Five persistent skills also grow through play: Gathering, Crafting, Combat, Trading and Wayfaring.
Regional commissions
Accept before acting. Each region has a one-time local objective chain. The reward preview shows Marks and any eligible Standing or Trail Score; the starter lesson awards no score.
Delivery contracts
Carry three locally sourced units to an accessible connected settlement. Selling at the destination completes the order.
Daily road orders
Complete two verified contracts in a UTC day to claim the current practice reward.
Callings
Choose Warden, Pathfinder, Broker, Tinker or Lanternkeeper. Dedicated ability trees remain in development.
07
ON-CHAIN ACCESS
Guest road or competitive road
Duskfarer has two clearly separated account modes. Guests can learn the controls and explore the game economy off-chain. A competitive Wayfarer connects an EVM wallet, proves ownership with a signature and permanently activates that character through the official access contract, which burns exactly 5,000 native tokens.
Guest mode
Play the tutorial, gather, craft, trade and travel. Earn Marks, items and road-unlocking Standing, but not Trail Score, leaderboard placement or on-chain rewards.
Wallet verification
The game asks for a message signature. Duskfarer never asks for a seed phrase or private key.
Activation burn
Burn exactly the required native-token amount on the configured chain. The server independently verifies the transaction before activating competitive progression.
Activation
Approve the exact amount, then call Activate. An unrelated transfer to a burn address does not unlock competitive play. The interface waits for finalized confirmation before enabling Standing.
Planned RBLX rewards
Final seasonal awards are intended to be claimed in RBLX by the linked wallet and remain claimable indefinitely. Holding tokens or trading on a DEX earns no Trail Score. Developer-funded top-10 airdrops are separate and would be sent automatically.
08
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you set out
Do I need a wallet to play?
You can use guest mode to explore, earn Marks and Standing, and unlock roads. To record Trail Score, appear on the leaderboard or qualify for on-chain rewards, you must connect an EVM wallet and complete the one-time 5,000-token activation burn.
What is the difference between Marks, Standing and Trail Score?
Marks are spendable game money. Standing is lasting reputation that unlocks roads. Both are earned in guest and wallet play. Trail Score is seasonal leaderboard performance for activated Wayfarers.
Can I lose my cargo?
Not in the safe regions. Duskwatch and Glassreach can cost one unit on defeat. An Ash Roads defeat costs half of each carried stack.
Can I buy Standing or Trail Score?
No. Standing is earned trust and Trail Score comes from eligible server-verified activity. Neither is sold.
Are rewards live?
Not yet. Activation and payouts await the final token contract, RBLX fee receiver, reviewed reward system, recipient eligibility rules and funded RBLX treasury. The interface must show the funded pool before a reward season starts.
Do reward claims expire?
No. Once a planned RBLX season award is finalized, its allocation remains claimable by the eligible linked wallet. Separate top-10 airdrops would be sent automatically.
Does progress save?
Yes. Online guest sessions persist on the game server. The game also guards against duplicate actions and reconnecting during journeys.
No field note matches that search.
THE CONNECTED WORLD
Seven stops. One living road.
Every region produces something the others need. Access comes through trust, preparation and survival—not token ownership.
Server-verified score from eligible deliveries, commissions, combat and daily road work. It resets by season.
Competitive · cannot be purchased◆NATIVE TOKEN · TICKER TBD
Competitive access
A one-time burn of 5,000 tokens activates on-chain Standing, Trail Score and reward eligibility for the linked wallet.
Holding alone earns nothing
LOCAL MARKETS
Scarcity has an address.
Each settlement carries its own stock. Buying removes supply and can raise the next local price. Selling restores stock. Profitable routes exist because regions produce different goods—not because a number is fixed forever.
REGIONAL PRODUCTION→LOCAL STOCK→PLAYER CARGO→SETTLEMENT NEED
CREATOR-FEE ALLOCATION
Most fees return to the road.
Pons applies its platform fee and the launch sets a creator tax. The RBLX creator receipts actually delivered to Duskfarer—not estimates from trading volume—are reconciled, then allocated by policy.
