Players can earn account points, which are permanent – they are not lost on death or even during server wipes. These points are designed to provide a sense of long-term RPG-style progression without disrupting the roguelike spirit of challenge. Account points can be used to purchase larger houses, expand storage space, unlock additional races and classes, and gain other benefits (more features coming soon). To check your current account point total, press Ctrl+R.
How to Get Account Points
You earn your first 10 account points by leveling up your character. After that, additional points are granted through a mix of leveling and defeating unique monsters. However, gaining a point isn’t guaranteed – it’s a random event, and the more points you already have, the harder it becomes to get the next one. Higher-level characters and stronger unique monsters increase your chances of receiving a point. In short: keep progressing, keep fighting, and account points will come naturally over time as a reward for your achievements.
Bonus account points for Hardcore characters
Playing in Hardcore mode (without the Second Chance mechanic and other benefits) rewards you with extra account points at certain levels (depends on class and points number, eg 15, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 49 and 50). To create a hardcore character, open the options menu during character creation by pressing =, then set birth_hardcore to yes.
Gold Rewards from Account Points
If you play in the default mode (i.e. not in Hardcore mode), your account points grant bonus gold each time your character gains a level. The amount of bonus gold depends on both your total account points and your character’s maximum level. Here are some example rewards:
- 0 account points → 10 bonus gold
- 10 account points → 36 bonus gold
- 25 account points → 75 bonus gold
- 50 account points → 140 bonus gold
- 100 account points → 161 bonus gold
- 200 account points → 167 bonus gold
The formula offers the best gold-per-point ratio for the first 50 points, with diminishing returns as your account point total increases. This reward system is optional – it’s disabled automatically if you play in Hardcore mode. It provides a sense of MMORPG-style progression and gives new characters a small economic boost, while preserving the roguelike spirit of tough, old-school gameplay.
Account Points for Housing
If you get 30 account points, you can build the smallest house for free (only the cost of the deed, with no additional spending).

Hardcore Character Bonuses
Playing in Hardcore mode (without the Second Chance mechanic and other advantages) rewards you with additional account points at levels 20*, 30, 40, 50. Additionally, starting with the 100 points threshold – gaining account points by playing regular (non-Hardcore) characters is slowed down immensely.To create a hardcore character, open the options menu during character creation by pressing =, then set birth_hardcore to yes.
*for level 20, you will receive a bonus point only if your account score is below a certain threshold (depending on the class strength):
- if score < 30: Warrior, Monk, Unbeliever, Shapechanger, Druid, Fighter, Knight) →
Power 0 (all others, for example Mage, Warlock - if score < 50: Archer, Paladin, Rogue, Ranger, Blackguard, Hunter, Telepath, Battlemage, Hermit, Phaseblade, Inquisitor
- if score < 70: Shaman, Priest, Villager, Tamer, Traveller, Bard, Trader, Assassin, Cryokinetic, Scavenger
- if score < 100: remaining classes
In other words, if you have more than 30 account points – upon reaching level 20, you won’t receive a bonus point for Hardcore mode (but you will receive one upon reaching level 30).
