⚔️ Agris Evolution & Guild Combat Economy System

Core Vision

Unify all combat activities — PvE grinding and PvP tournaments — under a single reward framework where everything earned converts into Guild Tokens.
Every player accesses the same Guild Shop, while higher ranks enjoy slightly stronger RNG boxes, reflecting progression without locking content.

Grind or fight → Rank Token → Guild Token → Guild Shop → RNG Box → Progress.


🌾 1️⃣ PvE Path – Agris Energy to Guild Tokens

Agris as Combat Energy

  • Agris fills naturally through grinding.

  • A full bar represents one complete “cycle” of combat effort.

  • Exchanging a full bar grants 1 Rank Token corresponding to your current Adventurer Rank (based on Gear Score).

Example: A B-Rank adventurer fills Agris → receives 1 B-Rank Token.


Rank Token → Guild Token Conversion

Rank Conversion Ratio Symbolic Tier
S 1 S-Token → 30 Guild Tokens Endgame elite
A 1 A-Token → 25 Guild Tokens Veteran adventurer
B 1 B-Token → 20 Guild Tokens Core active
C 1 C-Token → 15 Guild Tokens Mid-level
D 1 D-Token → 10 Guild Tokens Developing
E 1 E-Token → 5 Guild Tokens Entry tier

(Approximate balance anchor: 1 S-Token ≈ 20 Guild Tokens worth of value in shop pricing.)


PvE Flow

Grind → Fill Agris → Get Rank Token → Convert to Guild Tokens → Spend in Shop.


🧭 2️⃣ Adventurer Rank System

Ranks update automatically based on live Gear Score, with sub-ranks (− / base / +) for finer tuning.

Rank GS Range Sub-ranks Description
S 860 + S− / S / S+ Endgame elite
A 800 – 859 A− / A / A+ Veterans
B 740 – 799 B− / B / B+ Core active
C 680 – 739 C− / C / C+ Mid-level
D 620 – 679 D− / D / D+ Developing
E ≤ 619 E− / E / E+ New / returning

Instant updates, no reset schedules, easy to rebalance as gear power rises.


🏆 3️⃣ PvP Path – Rank-Based Tournaments

Structure

Each Adventurer Rank (E → S) has its own Tournament League, split into:

  • 1 v 1 Duels – personal skill

  • 3 v 3 Skirmishes – team play

  • 10 v 10 Guild Wars – coordinated large battles

Registration is unlimited — any qualified player can join.


Mirrored Gear & Placement

When registering:

  • The system mirrors your equipped gear (all items, crystals, artifacts, lightstones).

  • It calculates the mirrored Gear Score and places you automatically in the corresponding rank bracket.

Example: Mirrored GS = 812 → you enter the A-Rank Tournament (800–859 GS).

All players in a bracket fight with the same stat cap — skill and strategy decide victory.


PvP Rewards

Mode Reward Notes
1 v 1 Win +1 Rank Token Individual performance
3 v 3 Win +2 Rank Tokens Team synergy
10 v 10 Win +5 Rank Tokens Guild coordination

Losses may grant half rewards to sustain participation.
Tokens convert to Guild Tokens with the same ratios as PvE.


PvP Flow

Register → Mirror Gear → Fight in Rank Bracket → Earn Rank Tokens → Convert → Spend in Shop.


🏪 4️⃣ Guild Shop – Shared Items, Rank-Scaled RNG Boxes

Universal Shop

All players see the same list of items and prices, paid with Guild Tokens.
Only the RNG Reward Box differs per rank — same price, but scaling guaranteed value and better odds for bonus rares.


Example Shop Items (identical for all ranks)

Category Items
Consumables Loot Scroll ×1 (5 GT), Cron Stones ×50 (10 GT)
Enhancement Caphras Bundle ×100 (25 GT), Valks Advice (+60–80) (20 GT)
Utility & Buffs Combat/Life EXP Scrolls (10 GT), Mythical Feathers ×3 (40 GT)
Cosmetics / Titles Outfits, Guild Decor, Seasonal Titles (60–100 GT)
Prestige Items Guild Aura Core (24 h buff) (80 GT), Guild Hall Trophy (100 GT)
RNG Boxes One box per rank – same price (50 GT), different reward tables

(GT = Guild Tokens)


Ranked RNG Box Scaling (Max 100 % difference in guaranteed value)

Box Guaranteed Loot (Base Materials) RNG Pool (Shared rare items, probability scales by rank)
E ~500 M silver Small chance for Sharp/Hard Bundles, Artisan Memories
D ~600 M silver Slightly better chance for Crystals / Essences
C ~700 M silver Moderate chance for Artifact Fragments, Spirit Dust ×200
B ~800 M silver Good chance for Treasure Materials / Mythical Feathers
A ~900 M silver High chance for Crystallized Despair, High-grade Crystals
S ~1 B value (Caphras ×150, Valks +100) Best chance for Deboreka Shards, Dawn Accessory Piece, Ultra-Rare Cosmetics

🪙 All boxes cost 50 Guild Tokens, guaranteeing fairness of access.
The guaranteed base reward doubles from E to S (+100 %), while rare-drop odds scale gradually.


🛡️ 5️⃣ Guild Monitoring & Prestige

  • The system directly tracks Guild Tokens generated by all members.

  • Guilds can view total tokens per week or season for transparent contribution ranking.

  • Seasonal top guilds receive aesthetic prestige rewards (banners, statues, aura effects).

  • No conversion to “activity points” — Guild Tokens = the metric.


🔁 6️⃣ Unified Combat Economy Loop

Source Action Reward Conversion Destination
PvE Grinding Fill Agris 1 Rank Token → Guild Tokens Guild Shop / RNG Boxes
PvP Tournaments Fight per Rank Rank Tokens → Guild Tokens Guild Shop / RNG Boxes
Guild Tracks Tokens Prestige Rewards & Buff Access

Every combat path leads to the same unified shop, the same currency, and scalable rewards.
Higher ranks gain slightly better value and rare-drop odds — not exclusive content.


🌟 7️⃣ System Highlights

Balanced RNG: only 100 % difference in guaranteed value between lowest and highest rank.
Shared Access: all shop items available to every player.
Unified Currency: Guild Tokens connect PvE and PvP.
Dynamic Ranking: live Gear Score placement, no resets.
Fair PvP: mirrored gear puts you automatically into your rank tournament.
Guild Transparency: token generation tracked directly.
Non-Inflationary: all rewards are materials or cosmetics — never raw silver.


⚔️ 8️⃣ The Core Loop

Grind or Battle → Earn Rank Tokens → Convert to Guild Tokens → Spend in Guild Shop → Open RNG Box → Progress and Prestige.

Every activity contributes to one living ecosystem —
skill, effort, and loyalty to your guild define how far you rise.

I've already addressed the points to this with you elsewhere, but most of this would be bad changes.

For starters, unifying *all* activity reward paths is a terrible idea, best kept to mobile games.

Removing passive agris regen ruins the game for people that only do 1 to 3 hours of grind per day, as they would now be forced to grind for x hours without it for it to recharge, per your suggestion.

Your criteria for endgame and veteran players is insane, and completely ignores lifeskillers.

Endgame at 850 or higher gearscore? That's sub 1% of the player base. 800 gearscore is sufficient for the first edania boss, which is the current endgame content. More realistically, endgame would be anyone 800 and above, and veterans would be anyone 700 or higher. 

Your proposed guild token system is essentially just the guild activity metrics with new paint.

Adding rng boxes to a new unified loot menu would be horrid. 

There are more things to be said here, but I have limited time.

Happy adventuring,

KyouKou
