Adventure is better with friends.

Embervale is a little online world you play right in your browser. Hunt monsters, pick a job, gear up, then team up with friends to take on world bosses, the arena and the nightly guild war.

Checking who's online…

Pick a path, then master it

Begin as a Novice and choose a job: the sturdy Warden, the spell-slinging Arcanist, the sharp-eyed Ranger or the healing Cleric. Later, earn an advanced calling with new skills.

  • Stats, skill trees and cast levels
  • Weapons, armour and hats that show on your character
  • Rare drops, refining, and sigils to socket into gear

Made for playing together

Everyone who's online shares the same world. Wave hello, form a party and go hunting.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There's nothing to buy and nothing to download.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play as a guest and your hero is saved in your browser. A free account keeps your hero on the server so you can play from any device, and it's needed for guilds and ranked arena matches.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Open the same link in your phone's browser. If it feels slow, turn on Performance mode in Settings.

When is the guild war?

Every evening at 20:00 Thailand time (UTC+7), for 15 minutes. The Keep Herald in Hearthvale shows when the next one starts and who holds Emberkeep.

Can I lose my character or items in a fight?

No. Duels, arena matches and the guild war never kill you or cost EXP. Falling to a monster sends you back to town with a small EXP penalty, like most adventures.

Someone is being rude. What can I do?

Tap their name in the online list and choose Mute to hide their chat, emotes and requests, or Report to tell the admins.

Your adventure is one click away

Grab a friend, make a hero, and meet us in Hearthvale.
