The grinding aspect of the game is described as both enjoyable and flexible, appealing to fans of traditional grind-heavy experiences like old RuneScape. While some players appreciate the chill nature and community engagement, others express concerns about potential optimization issues and the tediousness of certain mechanics, such as limited inventory and excessive walking. Overall, it is recommended for those who enjoy grinding games, with a promise of more content to come.
- “Some skills feel bad and others have missing features. It's hard to find a balance when the game revolves mainly around grinding and endlessly chasing bigger numbers. My main concern is that whatever gets developed will fall to the optimize mindset that fans of grinding games will come to expect, which will sort of ruin the fun.”
- “Walking around in the game is an absolute chore, and even with coffee farming, you're looking at 20-40% of your in-game time spent simply walking around.”
- “Yes, the limited inventory like RuneScape is going to push some folks away, but those of us used to grinding for hours already have the groove of consistent banking trips while multitasking. Most things do not stack, but this is more of a gradual grinding, not grinding up 10,000 iron in one inventory and smelting it all in one go.”

- “Its like Tibia/old Zelda graphics, with old school Runescape systems, set in a Fallout/apocalypse wasteland.”
