Following the unveiling of the first three dev diaries, the team behind squad-based tactical RPG Zoria: Age of Shattering is back with a new blog post dedicated to the Outpost.
In Zoria, the Outpost is the place where you rest, craft, recruit, get rid of debuffs and much more. Basically, it’s your base as far as your adventuring is concerned and a way to address the mounting Fatigue as well as replenish your Supplies, both of which are important in the world exploration.
The Outpost features a number of buildings, each with their own functionality:
- Barracks are the heart of the follower management system and the place where you can equip your troops with the newest weapons you crafted, the most powerful potions, and special items found in the dungeons they conquered. You can also see on this screen your Follower’s level, stats, status, and the abilities they have unlocked.
- The burrow is the best place for your troops to recover from their wounds. Besides its strictly functional role, the Moon Flower Burrow’s manager, Madame Sybilla is an… exotic character with some interesting stories and quests.
- The Lucky Dog Inn serves many purposes, both in terms of utility and as the quest hub and a place to meet new interesting characters.
- The Black Cauldron is the center of your alchemy crafts
- The Blacksmith allows players to access crafting. As with most of the buildings in the Outpost, the Blacksmith can be upgraded, providing access to more recipes or other bonuses.
- Storage. The game has two inventories: the party’s inventory and the Outpost’s inventory. As is usually the case, the party’s inventory is limited so you might want to deposit some of your haul in the storage.
Additionally, many of the buildings can be upgraded. Each building has its specific upgrade levels and requirements that can be related to either resources or specific quests.
