World Map - xopherdeep/do-it-for-the-xp GitHub Wiki
The World Map in Do It For The XP represents the various areas of your life where tasks occur. Each real-world category is mapped to a fantasy terrain, with its own associated beasts, challenges, and temple.
Real-World Category | Fantasy Terrain | Description | Associated Temple |
---|---|---|---|
Yard/Garden Work | Forest | Dense woodland with clearings and paths | Forest Temple |
Kitchen Tasks | Islands | Tropical archipelago with beaches and coves | Island Temple |
Bedroom/Personal Space | Plains | Open grasslands with rolling hills | Plains Temple |
Bathroom Cleaning | Swamps | Murky wetlands with unique flora | Swamp Temple |
Work/Office Tasks | Mountains | Towering peaks with caves and valleys | Mountain Temple |
Finances/Bills | Sands | Harsh desert with hidden oases | Sand Temple |
Social Obligations | Clouds | Floating platforms amid the sky | Cloud Temple |
Health/Exercise | World-Ice | Frozen tundra with glaciers and ice caves | Ice Temple |
Digital/Online Tasks | The-Moon | Cosmic landscape with craters and lunar dust | Moon Temple |
Each terrain has a base difficulty level that affects the random encounters you'll face:
- Easy Terrains (Plains, Forest): Predominantly level 1-3 beasts
- Medium Terrains (Islands, Swamps, Clouds): Predominantly level 3-8 beasts
- Hard Terrains (Mountains, Sands): Predominantly level 8-21 beasts
- Extreme Terrains (World-Ice, The-Moon): Predominantly level 21-55 beasts
Different terrains may impose special conditions on battles:
- Plains: Faster turn gauge charging for both player and beasts
- Islands: Water-based beasts may have multi-part attacks
- Forest: Higher chance of finding items after battle
- Swamps: Status effects more likely to occur
- Mountains: Beasts have higher HP but move slower
- Sands: MP costs are higher, but rewards are greater
- Clouds: Unpredictable weather effects can change battle conditions
- World-Ice: Movement and action speeds reduced, risk of freeze status
- The-Moon: Low gravity affects timing mechanics, unique lunar beasts
As you complete tasks and quests, you'll gain access to more areas of the World Map. Initially, only a few basic terrains are available (Forest, Plains, Islands), with others unlocking as you:
- Level up your character
- Complete specific temple challenges
- Master certain abilities
- Achieve milestone achievements
When navigating the World Map, you can:
- Fast Travel between discovered locations
- Search for items in each terrain
- Rest at camps to restore HP/MP (with cooldown periods)
- Encounter random beasts based on terrain type
- Discover secret locations by exploring thoroughly
Each terrain contains the entrance to its associated Temple. Temples are visually distinctive landmarks on the World Map and can be entered when:
- You have sufficient level to access them
- You have completed any prerequisite quests
- You have the necessary "key" items (if applicable)
Approaching a Temple entrance will provide information about the current bosses/challenges inside and their difficulty levels.
