Playing with Friends
General info
A group has much higher chances of survival in the world of Darken Age than a single character. Many fights are actually impossible to win without support of mercenaries or friends.
It is good to invite all playing friends to the party. Later also other players, met during the gameplay, will be joining too.
Beginning players may be poor fighters, however they can provide useful help, so it is a very good idea to invite persons who have not yet known Darken Age.
Benefits of participation in a team
- chance to receive gifts from friends
- ability to view friend profiles
- ability to summon friends to the group
- ability to repair equipment in friend profiles
- chance to be summoned to a group by friends
- ability to join a group while attacking a Boss
Summoning a Friend
To summon a friend while playing, you simply select one from the user interface. Only players who are already in your party may be summoned.
Your friends do not need to be at their computers during the gameplay, because all party members except for you are controlled by AI.
Fighting a Boss in a Party
In order to include a player to the group while attacking a Boss, their acceptance is required. As while summoning to the group, all characters in the group except for you are controlled by AI.
Instead of inviting friends, you may hire a mercenary (a character not belonging to any player) for your party.
Sending items
Some items may be sent to playing friends. Of course when you send an item, you lose it and the new owner gets it. The new owner has unlimited time to collect the item.
There are also gift items that cannot be used by you, but you may give them as presents to your friends. Such items may be necessary for them to complete a task or to create an artifact. Sending a gift does not mean the item is lost. Moreover a gift may be sent once again after some time.
Repairs
Everyone may repair a certain number of their friends' items per day at no cost.
