TheEmberlands

Live off the land for the first 30 minutes and watch the survival systems tick over.

• Fell a tree (Woodsman Live). Watch it topple in a believable direction; grown, placed and resin logs should render as clean round octagonal logs; the stump should regrow over about a game-year.Watch: jagged/hollow log meshes, floating trunks, corners that don't blend, or a crash near a measuring rope (that has a client guard — report if it still bites).
• Hunt an animal and harvest it both ways — field-skin one, carry another to a butcher hook (Butchering Live). You should get meat + a pelt on both paths.Watch: the old "bear dropped nothing" bug — any animal yielding zero drops is a real report.
• Check pelt quality. Pelts should carry tiered hide-worth with colour-coded rarity names in the tooltip.
• Cook / smoke food (Smoke & Scent Live). No stuck looping smoke sound; scent behaves.
• Read the weather (Pelagus Winds Live). Clouds drift with the wind, grass sways smoothly (not laggy), no visible wind desync.
• Confirm skills are earning XP (Ascendance Live) and open the handbook → find the gear / level-gate guide and confirm it reads clearly.

Turn the morning's haul into coin — legally, then not so legally.

• Sell legal goods to a Larinor vendor and confirm your wallet updates.
• Poach something and fence the contraband (Poaching / Crime Live). Poached pelts are fence-only — take one to a normal vendor first and confirm it's refused, then sell it to the fence.Watch: a regular vendor accepting contraband, or a fence refusing a legit fence item, is a real bug.
• Test a level gate (Level Gates Live). Try to equip/buy a piece of gear you're under-level for — it should block — then confirm it works once you meet the skill level.
• Check the leaderboards — a board in-world, a floating billboard, and the web page. If enabledNote: boards were staged on DEV pending KV setup — if they're dark on this server, mark N/A rather than filing a bug.

Clear an instanced dungeon as a group — this is the least-tested system, so go slow and note everything.

• Get a dungeon key. Key drops are disabled for now — have your admin hand one out.
• Enter the instance (Planar dungeons Baked). Each party should get its own isolated copy — send two groups in and confirm they don't share a room. The overworld should be untouched.
• Verify placement Unverified — do you spawn where you should, and is the wand pickup where it belongs? These points were still being placed.Watch: spawning in a wall/void, or no wand to grab, is exactly what we need to catch here.
• Fight through the skeletons, use the wand, and beat the Crypt Warden. Note damage feel, mob spawns, and whether the boss is beatable by your party size.
• Leave and confirm cleanup. The instance should erase/recycle — re-entering with a new key gives a fresh dungeon, no leftover corpses or opened chests.

Cash the dungeon loot into real power and put the mount systems through their paces.

• Push a skill past a gate threshold and equip the newly-unlocked gear tier — confirm the gate flips from blocked to allowed at the right level.
• Level and ride a dragon, then dismount Unverified. The dragon-dismount dimension fix hasn't been confirmed live.Watch: getting stuck, dropped into void, or thrown to another dimension on dismount is the exact bug we're hunting.
• Pirate class Not ready — needs art + integration. Skip unless your admin confirms it's been enabled for the test.

Put down roots, test the offline/PvP layer, and probe the edges of the world.

• Claim land and build a small base. Confirm the claim protects your blocks from a friend who isn't on it.
• Test a Sleeper (Live). Have one player log off near a bed — a sleeping body should snap to it. A friend then finds it: check the combat timer, the grace period, and that the body is killable/lootable.
• Exercise the live map (Live). Tiles load (baked ~3km around Larinor); opt in with /map and confirm your dot appears; your claim shows as a polygon.Watch: missing tiles past ~3km are expected — note the range you lose coverage.
• Walk toward the world border (Live). The 100k×100k boundary should stop you a little inside the map edge — and it binds admins too, by design.
