 ## What's in it
 
 - **Skills:** mining, woodcutting, farming, hunting, fishing, smithing,
-  construction (with masonry), cooking, leatherworking, herblore, combat,
-  prayer and reconnaissance. Smiths also make hardware for builders, one kind
-  per metal (copper rivets to rune locks), which fittings and buildings need.

 - **Combat:** every fight is played out swing by swing: you and the enemy
   each have HP, a swing timer, accuracy and a max hit, and swings hit, miss
-  or crit (power from level and gear aims and hits; armour dodges and soaks).
-  Below half health you eat from your bank; out of food you retreat, losing
-  nothing but the fight. HP recovers 25% an hour. The Combat page replays
-  the fight live. Fights are split into the Frontier (bandits, sabotage,
-  drilling, the city's troubles) and expeditions: Greenwood to start, then
-  one area per tier (Old Watchtower, Sunken Barrows, Iron Hills, Frostpeak,
-  Dragon's Spine), each with a golem, a troll, a spirit and a flyer that drop
-  rare trophies (3%, 6% from bosses) for stronger weapons, and a boss (the
-  dragons at the top). Each kill is followed by a 2-second pause.
+  or crit. Every blow has a damage type (slashing, blunt, piercing, magic);
+  each enemy is vulnerable to some (+25%) and resists others (-25%), shown
+  as tinted icons. Armour stops physical blows, ward stops magic. Below half
+  health you eat from your bank; out of food you retreat, losing nothing but
+  the fight. HP recovers 25% an hour. The Combat page replays the fight
+  live. Fights are split into the Frontier (bandits, sabotage, drilling, the
+  city's troubles) and expeditions: Greenwood to start, then one area per
+  tier (Old Watchtower, Sunken Barrows, Iron Hills, Frostpeak, Dragon's
+  Spine), each with four races and a boss (the dragons at the top). Every
+  kill is one of the race's variants (a brute, a skirmisher, a caster, now
+  and then a rare elite), so each encounter mixes damage types: spirit races
+  lean on magic, golems and trolls on blows. Races drop rare trophies (3%,
+  6% from bosses) for stronger weapons and the area's armour reagents (10%,
+  far more from dragons). Each kill is followed by a 2-second pause.
 - **Weapons:** four styles, one per trade, and anyone can use any of them.
-  Sword and shield (2.4s swings, the shield blocks 15% of hits; swords from
-  Smithing, shields from Construction), warhammer (Smithing; slow, heavy,
-  twice the crits), staff (Herblore; accurate, ignores armour) and bow
-  (Leatherworking; fast, strikes first). The last three take both hands and
-  carry a shield's power. Your trade's weapon does 15% more damage. Golems
-  break under hammers, trolls fall to swords, spirits only fear staves, and
-  flyers fall to bows. Past copper, each weapon needs its tier's trophies.

+- **Armour:** three weights. Heavy plate (Smithing) is strong against blows
+  and weak to magic, light cloth (Tailoring) the other way round, medium
+  leather (Leatherworking) a bit of both. Every trade gathers its own base
+  material at every tier (ore, hunted hides, farmed fibres), and past copper
+  each piece also needs reagents from that tier's area: plating, lacing or
+  thread.
 - **Tiers:** six RuneScape-style tiers (copper, iron, steel, mithril,
-  adamant, rune at levels 1–75) of ore, trees (up to enchanted) and hides (deer,
-  boar and bear from hunting; green, blue and red dragonhide from fighting
-  dragons). Every metal tier has a sword, shield, helmet, greaves, cuirass and
-  five tools; every leather tier a cap, trousers and jerkin. Higher bars need
-  coal; each metal past copper needs a Smithy level (rune needs level 5, so a
-  city). Gear needs a combat level to wear, tools a skill level to use.

 - **Classes are trades,** from gathering to finished goods, so each player has
   a quiet gathering side and a busier crafting side: miner (mining, smithing),
   builder (woodcutting, construction), homesteader (farming, cooking,
-  herblore) and ranger (hunting, fishing, leatherworking, cooking). A trade's
-  skills are 20% faster, 1 in 10 of its crafts make double, and each has one
-  bonus of its own. Homesteaders farm differently: two plots, either one crop
-  30% faster or two crops at once sharing a 20% faster pace. Every class can train every skill, scout and drill.

   Building costs draw on all four trades: thatch, flax for rope, hide glue,
   leather and provisions as well as wood, stone and metal.
 - **Bank:** 12 slots of 1,000 each to start; more than a stack of one item
