The first step is to find a place to play !

The simplest way would be to join the support server! To join us, use this link below:

Once you have joined the server, a welcoming message will appear like this:

To start the adventure, press "Try Draftbot in English", then use the command /report.

Following this, the bot tutorial will start. Just follow the bot instructions to continue.

The report is the main function of the game. It can be used to get the last informations about your player, since the last interaction. You can ask for a report by executing the /report command.

Interface :

The report command has 4 differents states :

• The player is travelling.

• The player is doing an event.

• The player is doing a mini event.

Mini events :

The player takes circa 9 minutes and 45 seconds to travel between 2 mini events.

A mini event is mostly a short sentence. However, some can give you items, health or even money.

You can see the number of points earned with the mini events and the waiting time before the next one.

Events :

The events are the core of the game, the player just needs to react to a multiple-choice situation with the Discord reactions. Acoording to his choice, different endings can occur.

In this example above, the player has 3 different choices : the 2 reaction choices and also the possibility to add no reaction to it.

Once the player has set their mind on what to choose, he can press a reaction (or wait 2 minutes), which triggers the issue.

Destination :

After an event, the player is led to choose a destination. It is not possible for a player to go back on their steps (unless it is the only possible choice).

The time indicated in parenthesis is the travel time to reach the location, a question mark means that the time is unknown. In one-third of cases, the bot automatically chooses the player's destination.

What is the gameplay about ?

It's a real-time role-playing game, which means you won't have to loop commands but you'll have to monitor your character's progress regularly.

Advices for a quick start

Report regularly

Lexicon

During your game and if you choose to take part in the community and talk about the bot, you will bump into some vocabulary used to describe specific elements of the game. Here's a list of the main ones:

There are four types of equipment:

The state alteration defines the current user's status. Some alterations might affect some of the games' actions.

List of the different alterations

Alteration state care

Except the "Dead" state, every alteration can be cured by themselves over time.

It is still possible to get rid of an alteration without waiting, though.

Get an "Heal state alterations"

It is possible to buy it in the shop using the /shop command with 500 money, and will cancel/remove your state alteration. When this will be done, your players status will be the same as a player that just done a report.

Potions and items to make time go faster

Some objects and some potions can make the time go faster for some moment. When those are used, it is like if the time was going forward faster, but only for you.

How can I change the bot's language to english ?

In TypeScript.

How are the players data saved ?

In a mariadb database. The only informations saved are about the game (every messages / images sent in the bot's channel won't be saved)

How do we create a discord bot ?

Sorry, I can't explain it thoroughly, but here's a guide that can help:

How is the bot hosted ?

Right now I'm using OVH, but DigitalOcean, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud have been used in the past.

Can we see the bot's source code on GitHub or GitLab ?

Why are there two DraftBot bots?

There are indeed two bots named "DraftBot", but they share nothing in common, except their name. Both of their creators didn't plagiarize each other, as their purposes are entirely different! If you seek help from the other bot, we can only advise you to join their support server.

Once you reach at level 8 you will unlock the ability to fight other players using the /fight command This guide will show you the basics of it.

Before starting

In a fight, the following information are to take into account at all costs :

• 🌬 The breath in stock

Fight types

Normal fight

Friendly fights

The friendly fights work the same way as the normal fights but no one is losing energy nor earning glory points at the end. To start one you can run the/fight command, with the friendly option set to true.

Progress of a fight

The fight is a turn by turn system. At every turn you will have to choose between 5 options, depending on the classes :

Infantryman: Simple attack, Piercing attack, Powerful attack, Charging attack, Protection

Tank: Simple attack, Intense attack, Shield atatck, Defense boost, Counter attack

Gunner: Quick attack, Sabotage attack, Boomerang attack, Cannon attack, Intense attack

Knight: Simple attack, Quick attack, Heavy attack, Blessing, Rest

Paladin: Simple attack, Ram attack, Ultimate attack, Shield attack, Divine attack

Veteran: Quick attack, Energetic attack, Charging attack, Piercing attack, Concentration

Mage: Poisonous attack, Fire attack, Breath-taking attack, Cursed attack, Dark attack

Attack details

The details of the various attacks can be read below:

Breath management

Almost every attack needs a certain number of breath in order to be used, as they consume this amount when it's launched successfully (even when it fails to hit the opponent). At the beginning of their turn, a fighter will see its breath stock increase by the regeneration ratio that depends on their class. The info about breath stock, regeneration and consumption can be checked using the /classesinfo command.

Victory conditions

The fight ends when a fighter's life drops to 0.

A fight can also end when both fighters both lose all their energy on the same turn or when the 24th turn has ended. These conditions will trigger a draw.

When the fight ends, you'll probably lose energy, except if the fight was friendly, but it'll be recovered over time.

Leagues establish a precise ranking of the kingdom's fighters: you'll shift between leagues as you gain or lose a certain number of glory points.

To further explain this point, here's a table with all the available leagues:

Season

A season goes on from Sunday to Saturday. During that span, players gain glory points the further they fight. Once the season's over, players who ranked on the previous season's glory top may use the command /leaguebonus on Sunday to get their season-end rewards.

Rewards

There are 4 reward types:

• XP and money, with their amount detailed on the table above,

• a random item with a rarity between the extremae given per league (see above as well),

• points to which the amount depends on the ranking: the first player gets 4000 of them, and this amount is reduced the further the position on the rankings.

The world map of DraftBot allows the players to find them in different places of the game. It is possible to show directly the map in-game by typing /map. You will also get your position and a detailed description of the place you are traveling to.

Places list :

Missions are goals that players have to realize to earn experience and gems. To check your ongoing missions, use the /missions command.

Mission categories

There are 3 types of missions:

• Campaign missions: they don't change and are preset : there are 60 of them and their difficulty is evolving with the player.

• Daily missions: as their name implies, they change every day and make the player earn rewards in a different way than campaign missions.

• Secondary missions are another possibility to earn rewards, they can be found occasionally in specific small events.

Secondary missions can be found on small events that look like this:

The missions store

Gems that are earned by completing campaign and daily missions can be spent on the missions shop. You can access the latter with the /missionsshop command.

It is divided in 3 categories:

How to choose a class ?

The choice of class depends on your level, there are 4 different ranks of classes :

• Rank 1 : Between level 4 and 15

• Rank 2 : Between level 16 and 31

• Rank 3 : Between level 32 and 47

• Rank 4 : Between level 48 and 79

• Rank 5 : Level 80 and above

Once you are at level 4, you can use the /classes command to change your class.

Then you have to click on the reaction corresponding to the class you want.

The /top score command

The /top score command (not to be confused with /top glory) can be used to see the leaderboard of the DraftBot players, by points count. It also displays your ranking, and the page at which you are. The players will be displayed 15 by 15, showing their name, their status, their points count, and their level.

/top score options

Set a specific scope to the leaderboard

The leaderboard can be set on two possible scopes: "Global" (by default), and "Server". The scope option lets you choose if you want to limit the leaderboard to those who are in your server only or not.

The inventory is the place in which every items found in the reports, or bougth in the shop are stored. To check an inventory's content, type the /inventory command.

Organization of the inventory

The inventory is organized in two distinct parts: one that showcases the equipped items, and the other which displays what the player has kept for future use.

The inventory is divided in 4 parts:

• The weapon slot

• The armor slot

• The potion slot

• The item slot

The item stock will keep additional equipments that you can switch with your currently equipped ones depending on your needs.

Interacting with the inventory's items

The /dailybonus command allows the user to use the item placed in the "Active object" slot. An item can be used every 22h minimum if it's not a fighting bonus.

The /sell command lets you sell any of your stock's equipment (except the potions, which you can only throw away).

The /switch command can be used to switch an active item with a stored one.

The Redactor Gang, often called RG, was a team that managed the bot's redaction, translation, and addition of events to the bot.

Nowadays, adding a new event's content inside the bot is possible by everyone. If you wish to add an event to the bot, and if you are motivated, don't hesitate any further, and ask people for some advice in the bot's server !

Here is the list of the main creators of the Redactor Gang :

Obtaining items

Rarity levels

Item values and power

The value of an item is mainly calculated by its rarity.

The same applies to the power of the equipment. However, the power of an equipment can be limited by the power of a player. For example, a player with very little attack will not be able to take advantage of all the capabilities of a very powerful weapon. This limitation will be displayed for the player in his inventory.
