Today's route
Daily routes start once pins are mapped
Every day we'll pick one loop — Coilstones, Nui Tears, field bosses or chests — and draw it on the map. It switches on once enough sourced pins are mapped — expected after Early Access opens.

Map layers
Raeven's Coilstones—
Give trait points. Every one sits near a powerful boss — some in the open, some hidden, some only through quests.
Nui Tears—
Bring them to a Nui Statue to raise your max HP. Each increase costs a few more tears.
Treasure Chests—
Gear, rare crafting recipes and more. Open once per character — no racing other players.
Hersander's Towers—
Riddle shrines: bring the item each one asks for. Finish a zone's set for an accessory and the Hereafter Challenge.
Field Bosses—
Roaming open-world bosses that drop gear (including accessories) and unique crafting materials.
Dungeons—
Instanced for you or a party of up to four. The demo adds Throne of Hinnon, a high-level dungeon.
Nui Statues—
Switch between standard and PvP channels (with a cooldown) and turn in Nui Tears for max HP.
Travel Points—
Fast-travel and transport points shown in demo footage.
Towns & Camps—
Settlements with merchants, crafting stations and quest givers.
Points of Interest—
Ruins, the airship crash site and other places worth exploring — most give EXP the first time.
Quest NPCs—
Story and side-quest givers.
Gathering Spots—
Herbs, ore, wood and hunting spots for life skills.

What's in Diamond Shores
XLGAMES describes Diamond Shores as one of Auroria's early-game regions, with select content from around it in the demo. Confirmed for the demo: all four classes with two weapons each, a PvP channel once you leave the first town (at the next Nui Statue), and the high-level dungeon Throne of Hinnon (instanced, up to four players). Housing and trade aren't in the demo.
What to collect
- Raeven's Coilstones — trait points, each next to a powerful boss.
- Nui Tears — offer at a Nui Statue for max HP.
- Treasure chests — once per character.
- Hersander's Towers — riddles; finish the set for an accessory and the Hereafter Challenge.
PvP in Diamond Shores
Channels hold about 100 players. Standard channels have no PvP; switch to a PvP channel at a Nui Statue for 10–15% more monster EXP. Party and guild members can't attack each other. See the PvP guide.
Map updates
- No new pins: no sourced locatable points or clean base map. Added XLGAMES' Oct 27 post confirming the Next Fest demo has ended (more news to come); demo FAQ updated.
- No new pins: still no sourced in-game base map or locatable screenshot. Added XLGAMES' Oct 23 notice: a Brazil server was added, shown under the NA category in the server menu.
- No new pins: still no sourced in-game base map to place points on, and XLGAMES posted nothing new on Steam. Demo page now notes the community-reported Throne of Hinnon key spot (Sunken Ruins ledge, northeast of Watchtower of Hope, glider needed; boss Helkum, King of Hinnon) and XLGAMES' announcement that the demo hit No. 1 on Next Fest's Top Demos and Trending Upcoming charts (via Inven Global).
- No new pins: there is still no sourced in-game base map, and no screenshot or video shows a spot we can place without guessing. Added XLGAMES' Oct 21 posts: Early Access brings three regions of Auroria on a buy-to-play model (press reports $29.99), with gender-lock removal and more weapons planned; plus the black-screen launch fix (wait up to 10 minutes).
- No new pins: no player screenshot or video yet shows a locatable spot, and the Throne of Hinnon key is still unfound. Added XLGAMES' Oct 19 "Demo Is Now Live" post: all four classes (Warrior, Ranger, Berserker, Mage) confirmed playable, so the Mage and Berserker names are now official.
- No new pins yet: the demo opens Oct 19 at 10 AM PDT and no sourced locations are public. Added XLGAMES' Oct 18 demo letter: PvP channel unlocks at the Nui Statue after the first town, and the Throne of Hinnon key is hidden.
- Map launched with the Diamond Shores layer set; pins are added daily during the Steam demo (Oct 19–26), each with its source.
Found a Coilstone, Nui Tear or chest? Send the spot with a screenshot — we credit every contributor.
Frequently asked questions
Why are there so few pins?＋
The demo opens October 19. We only add a location when a screenshot, video or official post shows it, and we update daily during the demo. Send us a spot from the contact page.
Does the map save my progress?＋
Yes. Click a pin and mark it collected; it is stored in your browser (localStorage). No account. Clearing site data resets it.
Which regions are on the map?＋
Diamond Shores, the Steam demo region. More regions follow at Early Access.
Is this an official map?＋
No. It's an unofficial fan map. Game art is © XLGAMES.
