INTRODUCTION TO THE RESOURCE DRIVE SYSTEM Greetings, Defender! This guide is intended to give you a general idea of how a Kingdom’s resource system works, and how to interact with it. We will begin by explaining its main mechanic, Resource Drives. RESOURCE DRIVES AND STOCKPILES As you travel among cities, towns and settlements found on the planets; you may run across Residents or small “Prototype Gear” robots which, when approached, provide a message of a specific material being requested. These are the local resource drives, and the items they are requesting are connected to the needs of the settlement or the region as a whole (in some cases, even the ruling organization). Handing in items provides a variety of rewards, additionally they get registered as being added to the location’s inventory, known as the Stockpile. The items being requested follow a list of 25 items the Stockpile can carry, and it moves to the next item every hour, in order. Knowing this, if you take note of the items a Stockpile requests, you can predict and plan for when it will be asking for an item next. WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH STOCKPILES? As projects come about, such as repairing a town after an attack, researching a new device, maintenance on a flying vessel or construction of a new structure; materials will be required to make these things happen. The first place the M.O.B. will look to in order to meet these quotas is the Stockpiles of allied locations. If players have been hard at work in keeping a healthy stock across various locations, these projects can begin work...

THE ROLEPLAYING SYSTEM Welcome to the world of Defenders of the Cross! As you may have heard of previously, this world is one where the actions of your character have an influence on not only what happens to you via the M.O.B. but also to other players. Understanding that whatever actions you take can have an impact on the world around, including changes in the physical layout of the game and locations or interactions with NPCs towards you is important to making the most out of your experience in this world. As such, we will lay out some guidelines so that you can use your character’s potential to the fullest! USE THE PROPER CHATTING CHANNELS There are multiple channels you can use to communicate with others, the commonly used ones are SAY, TRADE, CLAN, PARTY, SHOUTS and WHISPERS. You can communicate with other Defenders across all of these channels, however there are important distinctions to be made as to how these channels interact with the M.O.B. and the story. Clan and Party Chats are not involved with the storyline at all. Trade chat is normally ignored for these purposes as well, with rare exceptions, usually as a joke. The M.O.B. does utilize Whispers to communicate with you in terms of interactions beginning and ending, impressions, objective and campaign completion, storyline progression and other similar messages. It is not possible, however, to whisper back to the server. So it is only for informing the player. Say chat and Shouts are the primary means with which to communicate with the M.O.B. and is the primary method that communications are sent...
