Activities
Beyond combat and quests, Gravenwald offers several ways to earn crowns, craft useful items, and test your mettle.
Fishing
Cast a line into the dark waters
Certain waterside rooms allow you to fish. You will need a fishing pole, sold by fishmongers in the Waterfront and Witchfen regions. Optional bait improves your chances of landing something valuable.
Fishing is a two-phase action: cast your line, then wait for a bite. When something tugs, reel it in quickly before it escapes.
What you catch depends on where you fish. Different regions yield different hauls, and deeper, more dangerous waters hold rarer prizes. Sell your catches to the local fishmonger for crowns.
Digging
Unearth what lies beneath
With a shovel in your inventory, you can dig anywhere in Gravenwald. Each excavation takes several strokes — keep digging until you unearth something. The optionalGrave Salt consumable shifts your finds toward rarer results.
What you find depends on the region. Deeper, darker places hide rarer treasures — and sometimes dangers lurking beneath the surface. Watch your step.
Alchemy & Brewing
Experiment at your own risk
At certain vendor locations, you can brew potions from ingredients found throughout Gravenwald. Start a brewing session, add up to three ingredients, then finish to see what you have created.
Every ingredient has hidden properties — the flavor text gives clues. Your Grimoiretracks discovered recipes. Potions can heal, buff combat stats, grant temporary abilities, or protect against poison. But beware: overloading the cauldron can cause an explosion, destroying your ingredients.
Pit Fighting
Double or nothing in the arena
The Arena Pit in the Ashen Grounds hosts gladiatorial combat. Pay an entry fee and face five rounds of increasingly dangerous opponents. After each victory, you can cash out with your winnings or risk them for double-or-nothing on the next round.
Fighting unarmed earns a damage multiplier. Completing rounds without healing earns Crowd Favor. Defeating all five rounds earns you the title of Champion — and a substantial bonus. But death in the pit means losing everything.
