Remort / Prestige

design

Status: Design Date: 2026-04-04

Reset to level 1 with permanent stat bonuses and prestige titles. The endgame progression loop.

Trigger

  • Must be level 30 (max level)
  • Must have completed the main quest (has ach-quest-main flag)
  • Visit a specific NPC or use remort command
  • Confirmation prompt: “This will reset your level, gold, equipment, and quest progress. You will keep soulbound items and gain permanent bonuses. Proceed?”

What You Keep

  • Permanent stat bonus: +1 to all six stats per remort tier
  • Remort tier counter: visible on score, who, inspect
  • Soulbound items: anything with %soulbound binding stays in inventory
  • Pet: your pet stays
  • Clan membership: stays
  • Explored rooms: reset (intentional — re-exploration is part of the replay)
  • Discovered waypoints: reset
  • PvP kills: kept (lifetime stat)
  • Achievements/titles: kept (player flags persist)

What You Lose

  • Level → 1
  • XP → 0
  • Gold → 0
  • All non-soulbound items (inventory + equipment)
  • Quest progress (can redo all quests)
  • Room → spawn room
  • Skills → reset to starting skills for class
  • HP/mana/moves → recalculated for level 1 + stat bonuses

Stat Bonuses

Each remort tier gives +1 to STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, LUCK. These are applied on top of the base stats for the character’s level.

At tier 5 (max), a level 1 character has +5 to all stats — noticeably stronger than a fresh level 1 but not game-breaking since stats scale with level.

XP Scaling

Each remort tier increases XP required per level by 10%.

  • Tier 0: base XP curve
  • Tier 1: 110% XP to level
  • Tier 2: 121% XP to level
  • Tier 3: 133% XP to level
  • Tier 4: 146% XP to level
  • Tier 5: 161% XP to level

This prevents remorted players from blazing through content too fast despite their stat advantage.

Tier Cap

Maximum 5 remort tiers. At tier 5, the remort command says “You have reached the pinnacle of power.”

Titles

Each tier unlocks a prestige title:

TierTitle
1Reborn
2Twice-Forged
3Thrice-Tested
4Ascendant
5Eternal

These are added as achievement flags (ach-remort-1 through ach-remort-5) so they work with the existing title system.

Display

Score:

Who:

Grendel [T5] — Level 30 Warrior

Inspect:

Grendel the Eternal — Level 30 Human Warrior Remort Tier: 5 PvP Kills: 7

State

Character

Add remort-tier=@ud to the character type.

The stat calculation already exists — modify it to add remort-tier to each stat:

effective-str = base-str + remort-tier

The XP-to-level calculation adds the tier scaling:

xp-to-level = (base-xp-for-level * (100 + (remort-tier * 10))) / 100

No State-0 Changes

Remort tier lives on the character, not in agent state. No new maps or indices needed.

Command

remort
  • Checks level 30, main quest complete, tier < 5
  • Shows confirmation prompt
  • Player types remort confirm to proceed
  • On confirm: increment tier, reset character, teleport to spawn

Implementation

Character type

Add remort-tier=@ud after pet=(unit pet-instance).

Remort command handler

  1. Check level.character = 30
  2. Check ach-quest-main in player flags
  3. Check remort-tier < 5
  4. If arg != 'confirm', show warning and return
  5. Increment remort-tier
  6. Reset: level=1, xp=0, gold=0, quest-points=0, room=spawn, skills=starting, inventory=soulbound-only, equipment=clear
  7. Recalculate HP/mana/moves for level 1 with new stats
  8. Add remort achievement flag
  9. Broadcast: “Grendel has been reborn! (Tier X)”

Stat calculation

Modify calc-player-damage and any stat-dependent code to add remort-tier to effective stats. Or apply at character creation / level-up time so it’s baked into the stats.

Simpler: apply at remort time. Set each stat to base-for-level-1 + remort-tier. The bonus persists through leveling since level-up adds to existing stats.

XP curve

Modify check-level-up to scale xp-to-level by (100 + (remort-tier * 10)) / 100.
