Archetype potions are craftable engrams learnable at level 1. Choose the archetype that best fits your character concept, then craft and use the corresponding item. You will see an immediate affect on your stats -- but don't worry if you forget, the adjustments are multipliers and will work regardless of level.
​
If you mistakenly take the wrong stat adjustment or a glitch removes your buff, please contact an admin to receive a Clean Slate potion to reset your stats (after which you can craft and use a new potion).
TIPS & TRICKS
​
All of your actions in game are expected to follow your characters motivations, beliefs, and values. Make sure you choose a character that you will have fun playing and that fits your playstyle!
​
TIPS
-
If you are playing an archetype that requires skin paint, make your character as dark as possible in character creation. The dyes show up better on black for some reason.
-
To paint your character, drag the paintbrush to your body in the inventory menu. Once painted, you can save the paint as a template for faster application if you die.
-
The Wardrobe Skins mod offers a number of costume skins to help bring your character to life.
