Traveling is an active mechanic for roots of the wild. This mechanic allows characters to travel in-between villages to participate in festivals and events as well as perform their jobs in other villages.
Traveling is not required for just visiting other villages for roleplay reasons. It is required for the following:
-
Participating in Events and Quests
-
Merchants to buy from other village Vendor guilds
-
Merchants to sell to other villages
-
Characters to buy from Merchants in other villages
-
Rolling in other villages
-
Participating in special weather events in other villages
-
Trading and Gifting to characters not owned by yourself
-

Choice Tree
There are a couple of option your character gets while traveling, below is a simple choice tree summarizing those choices.
-
Day Travel ⇒ Encounter ⇒ Win/Lose ⇒ Day End
-
Day Travel ⇒ No Encounter
↳ Recover a heart ⇒ Day End
↳ Gather ⇒ Day End
↳ Do Nothing ⇒ Day End
Repeat all these for the amount of days your character is traveling until they arrive at the village
(note if a traveler encounters a monster they must automatically progress to the next day after that encounter is over)
Mount Traveling
-
Member must wait 1 IRL day before traveling again with mount.
-
Only uses mount stamina, not character stamina
-
When traveling via mount, monsters are not encountered, but also no gathering can happen. Because of this /tableroll travel is not required.
-
Mount stamina is used, not character stamina
-
Mount stamina recovers just like player stamina, recovers once per day, only on days not being used. Does not refill on Sundays
-
when traveling Rudania ⇋ Inariko, Inariko ⇋ Vhintl, no roll is needed. travel is automatic. BUT it does cost 1 stamina chunk for the mount
-
If traveling Rudania ⇋ Vhintl, no roll is needed, but this costs 2 stamina.
Basic Mounts have 2 Stamina 🥕🥕
Mid Mounts have 4 Stamina 🥕🥕🥕🥕
High Mounts have 6 Stamina 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
Courier
Couriers, due to their essential role in connecting the villages are granted unique travel privileges that reflect their efficiency and stamina in performing their duties.
-
Stamina-Free Travel: Couriers are have the ability to travel between villages without expending any stamina.
-
Enhanced Travel Speed: Couriers can traverse the roads between villages in half the time it takes others.
KO’s And Running out of Stamina
-
Your character is KO’d if they lose all of their hearts while on the road. If this happens your character wakes back up in the village they began traveling from with 0 hearts and 0 stamina. From this point for an entire week, your character receives a debuff where they are unable to use any healing or stamina items as well as unable to use the services of healers. Characters are also unable to travel during this time as they need to recover their strength. There may be an option to remove this debuff in the future with the help of the boosting perk.
-
After the week debuff is over, your character can use any healing and stamina recovery items to get back to full stats. During the debuff period your character DOES recover stamina like normal, 1 a day.
-
If your character runs out of stamina while traveling, they are simply unable to perform actions that require stamina.
-
If your character is KO'd while doing a Rudania ⇋ Vhintl trip, they wake up in Inariko, not the origin of their departure.
