Exploration

Zones
The world of OrbusVR is divided into zones.

Highsteppe City is the main city in Patraeyal.

Highsteppe is the first zone, intended for levels 1-10

The Rainforest is intended for levels 11-15

The Lamavora Battlefield is intended for levels 16-20

Hulthine's Basin is intended for levels 20-25

The Wastelands are intended for levels 26-30

Time
OrbusVR features continuous day-night cycles with corresponding environment effects. One full day in OrbusVR is completed in five Earth hours.

It’s Dangerous to Go Alone
This world is filled with danger -- from the creatures which lurk in the deep wood to the citadels you must conquer to achieve your goals. Your best hope of survival is to seek out allies who can aid you in your endeavors.

Navigation
Rather than giving you a map with everything auto-marked on it, or quest icons telling you exactly where to go, we decided to give you this magical compass. It shows you landmarks that generally everyone in the area knows about. For example, "Cenn's Farm", or the "Lakewood Inn". When you get quests in the game, we'll give you directions like "head to Cenn's Farm and speak to him there." or "head out of the Lakewood Inn and go North toward the lake." We don't want this to be a frustrating experience so the directions will be clear and the places you're going will have recognizable features, but we also want you to feel a sense of exploration and getting to know the land.

Level Scaling
While each zone is intended for certain level ranges, monsters in OrbusVR are level scaled. Weaker monsters will never be more than 6 levels below you, and stronger monsters will never be more than 4 levels above you. This allows all zones in the game to remain relevant.
