About Pax Dei
Pax Dei is a medieval‑fantasy sandbox MMO where players craft, build, and explore a persistent world of about 300 km² across five provinces. You start by using public crafting stations, claim a plot of land, and gather resources to create tools, gear, and a home for your clan. The game blends cooperative and competitive play: you can trade, form clans, and perform Grace‑powered miracles, or venture into PvP zones like Lyonesse where death has consequences. Premium status grants extra Grace and XP bonuses, but membership is optional.
01 / THE GUIDE
World Exploration
The open world spans roughly 300 km² and includes five provinces with 40 distinct home valleys. Players can travel from the safe Heartlands into increasingly dangerous wilderness, discovering ruins, dungeons, and resources. Exploration rewards gold, loot, and mysterious reagents, which benefit both the individual and their clan. The farther you roam, the stranger and more hazardous the encounters become, encouraging preparation and teamwork.
- Scout ahead with a small party to reduce risk in distant zones.
- Carry a mix of combat and gathering tools for flexible encounters.

Crafting & Building
All items, from clothing to weapons, are player‑crafted using resources harvested across biomes. Public crafting stations let you create your first tools and gear, while hundreds of recipes are already unlocked. Claim a plot with a Plot Token and use dozens of building pieces to construct a home limited only by imagination and the structural integrity system. Market stalls let you sell crafted goods to other players.
- Focus on gathering a variety of resources early to unlock more recipes.
- Plan your plot layout before placing structures to maximize space.

Grace & Miracles
Grace is a resource you accumulate to perform Miracles, granting powerful or practical abilities and bonuses. Premium status adds a 50 % Grace boost from daily login and gold offerings. Miracles can influence combat, crafting, or other activities, providing strategic depth to players who manage their Grace effectively.
- Save Grace for critical moments like PvP battles or tough dungeons.
- Use daily login bonuses to steadily increase your Grace pool.

Clan & Social Systems
Players can form Clans to pool resources, combine plots, and build larger villages or fortresses. Clans are essential for tackling dungeons and competing against rival groups. A Discord‑powered chat links in‑game conversation with external communication, keeping friends connected even outside the game.
- Coordinate building projects within your clan to share workload.
- Link Discord early to streamline strategy discussions.
05 / THE GUIDE
PvP & Combat
Lyonesse is a contested PvP zone where full PvP rules apply and death carries consequences. Valuable resources are available, but players must trust allies or risk loss. Combat also occurs while battling wilderness enemies for gold and loot, supporting both solo and group playstyles.
- Enter Lyonesse with trusted allies to mitigate death penalties.
- Balance offensive gear with defensive items crafted from harvested resources.
