Your life journal

Where to find it

Open the game menu, choose Village life, then More to do, then Your life journal. The command /life is only a shortcut.

Life goals

There are 100 life goals in 8 groups: days in the world, time spent, streaks, points, standing, friends and family, homes, trades, fishing and hunting, exploring and the sea. Each goal is read out with how far you are, as a percentage and as bars out of ten. The goals are checked on their own every few minutes while you play; you do not have to claim them.

Legacy and chapters

Every goal you reach adds legacy. Legacy gives you one of ten ranks, from Newcomer to Legend of the land. As you reach more goals, the ten chapters of your life open one by one. Each chapter is read to you as a short story and pays a small reward. When the journal first opens, goals you had already reached are written in quietly without points, so everybody starts fair.

Every day

Today's three small goals is a new card every morning with three easy goals. Each pays a little and all three together pay a bonus. You can swap one goal a day.

Time capsules and heirlooms

Write a letter to your future self and seal it for 7 or 30 days. It opens by itself when the time comes, wherever you are. Once you have kept an item for 30 days you can give it a name as an heirloom; heirlooms are shown on your life card.

Your month in the game is a recap of days played, time, goals, legacy and points. Masters and apprentices are both rewarded when the apprentice reaches chapters 2 to 6. Experienced players can join the newcomer helper list. The hall of legends lists the top lives, and you can look at any player's life card. "What am I close to" names the goals you are nearly done with.

Announcements

Players beginning chapter 5 or later, reaching a high legacy rank or finishing every goal are announced. You can turn this off in Privacy options, Announcements.
