This is your guide to unlocking the mysteries of FantasyRealm, by LyleCo, a monorail destination available after using a FantasyRealm membership packet.

General structure

Accessing the Welcome Center will grant a FantasyRealm G. E. M., an accessory that limits your base stats to 100 and must be worn while adventuring in the Realm. You have five hours per day to explore the Realm, and one hour is expended each time you choose something in a Realm choice adventure.

Adventuring zones always contain 5 combats followed by one choice adventure. Initially, only The Bandit Crossroads are accessible, and it leads to a choice of five zones. The choice adventures in these zones lead to rewards or further zones. Boss zones contain only a single noncombat that leads to combat with a boss if you pass certain tests. Boss zones do not consume an hour.

With the exception of the Bandit Crossroads, every zone closes for the day after you select from its choice adventure. Therefore, you can not enter one of the five primary branches more than once per day.

Your progress through the Realm is reset each day at rollover and on ascension -- with the exception of permanent map unlocks purchased from the Rubee™ Store.

Rubee™ store and unlocks

Rubees™ are the currency of FantasyRealm and are spent at the FantasyRealm Premium Rubee™ Store, accessible from a link in the character pane while wearing a G. E. M..

The store offers maps that permanently unlock five primary zones at the start of the day, allowing you to bypass the Bandit Crossroads. Because of the adventuring limits, these shortcuts are required to access some rewards and boss fights.

Also for sale are the FantasyRealm key, LyleCo premium pickaxe, and LyleCo premium rope which unlock options in some choice adventures. The pickaxe and rope are not consumed when used, though keys (usually) are.

The store offers a one-day pass, the LyleCo Contractor's Manual (granting the skill Expert Corner-Cutter, which allows crafting without using an Adventure 5 times per day), and a FantasyRealm tattoo kit.

Maximizing Rubee™ drops

Crossroads bandits and FantasyRealm monsters from the five subsequent zones have a base Rubee drop of 1. Monsters from tier 2 zones (one level deeper) have a base Rubee drop of 2.

  • Equipping a LyleCo premium magnifying glass and LyleCo premium monocle each give +1 Rubee per fight.
  • Consulting the fortune teller in the Cursed Village grants 20 adventures of Fortunate, Son which gives 2-3 additional Rubees per fight.
  • Effects that give 1 additional Rubee per fight also come from three crafted consumables. Eating denastified haunch grants 30 adventures of Faerie Fortune, drinking bad rum and good cola grants 30 adventures of Fanatical Fortune, while a Potion of Heroism gives 10 adventures of Heroic Fortune. These items are made from ingredients that disappear at the end of the day, although the finished products do not disappear and can be traded.
  • Note that the monsters can be copied, which can help when using up leftover turns of these effects.
  • Extra monsters can also be fought in zones you have access to that have monsters to defeat where you don't intend to make use of the noncombat. Just make sure to either stop before the noncombat triggers, or choose the last option when the noncombat does trigger. The last option always exits the noncombat without costing an adventure or FantasyRealm hour (except in The Putrid Swamp, where the last option costs an adventure but not an hour and lets you revisit the noncombat to pick a different option).

Easy Rubee™ acquisition

A good Rubee-farming trajectory to start with is as follows:

  • Kill five bandits in the Bandit Crossroads, unlock the Cursed Village
  • Kill five villagers in the Cursed Village, acquire Fortunate, Son
  • Kill five bandits in the Bandit Crossroads, unlock the Towering Mountains
  • Kill five more bandits in the Bandit Crossroads. Do not unlock anything in the noncombat (choose "Leave for now" if the noncombat triggers, or just count out 5 combats and then stop).
  • Kill five ourks in the Towering Mountains, unlock the Foreboding Cave
  • Kill five bats in the Foreboding Cave, make sure you are in possession of a FantasyRealm key, unlock the chest

In order to get more monsters in with Fortunate, Son (which is a little wonky and actually grants 19 turns of the effect at the Village noncombat), be sure to spend any remaining adventures of the buff at The Bandit Crossroads before opening the chest in the Cave. To make maximum use of the buff, either use three free kills (the replica bat-oomerang slots in very handily for the job) or some sort of buff extension. If you have access to any copiers, you can use those to fight further copies of Rubee™-granting monsters. As you expand your map portfolio, you can start weaving extra zones into this basic plan in place of the Crossroads noncombats.

Costing 150 rubees and giving +1 rubee per kill, the LyleCo premium magnifying glass and LyleCo premium monocle each take five runs to pay for themselves. This is more efficient than any map on its own, so it may be a good idea to buy them first.

Beware: if you use copies to fight monsters from a zone that you haven't done the NC in yet, the zone may close prematurely, if currently open, or not actually appear when you unlock it and you won't be able to fight the monsters there or do the NC until it's reopened.

Speaking of the map portfolio, a pretty natural Rubee™-maximising trajectory presents itself when looked at the noncombat tree. Once you have access to both the Cursed Village and the Towering Mountains, the two hours you save at the Crossroads (that you previously used to unlock the Village and the Mountains) can be used to make your way to the Sprawling Cemetery and rob some graves for ~50 Rubees™. That does require the pickaxe, so that should be your next pick-up after the two maps if you wish to maximise your Rubee™ influx, that is, after you obtain the pickaxe, you should:

  • Kill five villagers in the Cursed Village and acquire Fortunate, Son;
  • Kill five ourks in the Towering Mountains and unlock the Foreboding Cave;
  • Kill five rubber bats in the Foreboding Cave and use the FantasyRealm key to unlock the chest;
  • Kill five bandits in the Bandit Crossroads and unlock the Sprawling Cemetery;
  • Kill five more bandits in the Bandit Crossroads. Do not unlock anything in the noncombat (choose "Leave for now" if the noncombat triggers, or just count out 5 combats and then stop).
  • Kill five ghosts in the Sprawling Cemetery and rob some graves with the FantasyRealm pickaxe.

After you get enough Rubees™, you should buy the Putrid Swamp and the Mystic Wood maps first, then the FantasyRealm rope, and finally the map for the Sprawling Cemetery as you'll be able to fight another five bandits in the Bandit Crossroads after you unlocked the Sprawling Cemetery through the Bandit Crossroads. This path will net you about 250 Rubees™ per day for 35 adventures, sometimes even more if you are lucky.

Location chart

The Bandit Crossroads is the only zone that is always open. Notably, the fifth fantasy bandit per day drops a fat loot token. The Crossroads choice adventure leads to five primary branches: The Towering Mountains, The Mystic Wood, The Putrid Swamp, Cursed Village, and The Sprawling Cemetery.

Monsters

Bosses

Each boss requires you to pass a stat test and have a quest item or effect found elsewhere in FantasyRealm. Because these quest items disappear at the end of the day, you generally need to have unlocked map shortcuts to reach a boss fight before running out of hours. The exceptions are bosses that require an effect, because effects persist through rollover. However, this is difficult for any boss except the Ghoul King due to effect durations, and there's really no reason to prioritize fighting bosses over obtaining maps.

While the noncombats in boss zones do not consume an hour, you cannot enter a boss zone after expending all 5 of your daily hours. Boss zones normally require 4 hours to unlock, so you should fight the boss while you still have one hour remaining.

If you lose a boss fight, you won't be able to try again that day.
