Ashbound

Ashbound is a dark-fantasy adventure mod built on Epic Fight. Cracks tear open across the world, and behind each one is a ranked dungeon with its own monsters, boss and gear. Take requests from the guild, follow the story, and climb from F rank to S.

Want everything set up for you? Install the Ashbound modpack: it has the world generation, animals, structures and interface this mod is tuned for.

Still early. Expect bugs and balance problems, and start a new world for every update. Please report what you find on the issue tracker.

What it adds

• Gates: ranked dungeons from F to S, each with its own monsters, boss, materials, weapons and armour
• Combat: 10 weapon types on Epic Fight, stamina on every swing and roll, three staff schools (black, white, summoner) with their own spell effects
• Classes: nine to start from, one per party role, each with its own kit and a small lasting bonus. Any class can use any weapon
• Growth: levels, skills, Forms, curios, relics, and a forge with a rhythm minigame for the great works
• Mounts: pick one of five at the start, then train its speed, jump, hide and Wings until it flies without tiring. Two people can ride together
• Pets: 36 of them in four rarities, from a road sparrow to a cinder phoenix. They walk or fly at your side and give a small buff
• Bottomless Bag: holds as much as you like, searchable, shared with your party
• A world to cross: roads, the capital city of Highmourn, villages, wild ruins and towers, and Warp Stones to get back
• Guild and story: a guild card with a rank, a request board, a linear story with a Journal, and favours from townsfolk and travellers
• Co-op: parties of up to 8 with /party. Quest steps and waystones are shared, and monsters scale with the players near them
