Hero Level

Your account has a single hero that grows stronger over time. As you battle monsters across the world, your hero earns EXP. Accumulate enough EXP and your hero levels up. With no level cap, you can keep climbing as long as you keep fighting.

Where to find it: Left sidebar → Hero → Inventory. Open in 4TW ↗

​

How you earn EXP

EXP comes from defeating monsters. Defeating monsters contributes EXP to your hero. Writing sessions alone don’t award EXP directly. The EXP flows through the battles your writing powers.

​

Leveling up

Each level requires more EXP than the last. The gap grows significantly at higher levels, so progression naturally slows as your hero advances. But there is no ceiling. When your hero levels up, a level-up celebration appears on screen. It shows your new level and the rewards you’ve earned. Rewards are delivered automatically. No action needed on your part. Some Battle Items require you to be a certain level to craft them.

​

Level rewards

Each level has its own reward set. Rewards can include:

​

Inventory

Your inventory tracks everything your hero owns. Equipped gear, loot from battles, quest rewards, crafting materials, and more.

Where to find it: Left sidebar → Hero → Inventory Open in 4TW ↗

​

Equipped Gear

The top of the screen shows what your hero is currently wearing:

• WEAPON 1 and WEAPON 2: your active weapons
• Head, Chest, Feet, Accessory: equipped clothing and accessories
• COMPANION: your active companion, if you have one

Above the gear panel are your three Battle Stats: Attack (more damage per word), Defense (more time in battles), and Luck (better item drops).

​

Item Grid

Your full collection, organized by tabs: Use the body part filter row (All · Weapon 1 · Weapon 2 · Accessory · Head · Chest · Feet). to narrow down by slot. The Sort dropdown and Search for an item bar help you find specific gear quickly.

​

Items Compendium

The Compendium is your personal encyclopedia of everything you’ve discovered in the world. The Items tab shows every item you’ve encountered: where to find it, what drops it, and what you need to obtain it.

Where to find it: Left sidebar → Journal → Compendium tab → Items tab Open in 4TW ↗

1. Browse your discovered items. Each card shows the item name, image, and any relevant details. Items you haven’t discovered yet appear greyed out. They’re out there waiting for you.
2. Search and filter. Use the search bar to find items by Name, Drops (which monsters drop it), Requirements (what’s needed to obtain it), or Areas (where it can be found). Sort your list by By Id, Alphabetic, or Recently Added.
3. Open an item for full details. Click any item card to open the details panel. This shows the item’s full description, where it comes from, which quests need it, and how to get it.

Gear up, spend wisely, look good
