Playing the Game

Character creation, controls, and gameplay basics

Getting Started

When you first join Hyperscape, you’ll create a character and spawn in a random starter town with basic equipment.

Starting Equipment

• Bronze sword (equipped)
• Base level 1 in all skills

Starter Towns

Each starter town includes:

• Bank: Store items safely
• General Store: Buy tools and supplies
• Safe Zone: No hostile mobs

Controls

Movement

• Click-to-Move: Click anywhere on the terrain to walk there
• Running: Hold shift while clicking to run (consumes stamina)
• Camera: Orthographic overhead view

Stamina System

Stamina affects your ability to run:

• Drain while running: 2 stamina/second (base rate)
• Weight penalty: +0.5% drain per kg carried
• Regeneration while walking: 2 stamina/second (base rate)
• Regeneration while idle: 4 stamina/second (base rate)
• Agility bonus: +1% regeneration per agility level

Manage your inventory weight for optimal travel. Heavy loads drain stamina faster, but higher agility helps you recover faster.

5. Loot drops on enemy death

Death

When you die:

• Items drop at death location (headstone)
• Respawn at nearest starter town
• Return to retrieve items from headstone

Skills

Viewing Skill Unlocks

Click any skill in the Skills panel to open the Skill Guide Panel, which shows:

• All unlocks for that skill with level requirements
• Your current level and progress
• Visual distinction between unlocked (✓) and locked (🔒) content
• Next unlock highlighted with progress indicator
• Type badges (item/ability) for each unlock

Example Unlocks:

• Attack 40: Rune weapons
• Agility 50: +50% stamina regeneration
• Prayer 43: Protect from Melee
• Woodcutting 75: Magic trees

Skills

Gathering Skills

Skill	How to Train
Woodcutting	Click trees with hatchet in inventory or equipped
Fishing	Click fishing spots with fishing rod in inventory
Mining	Click ore rocks with pickaxe in inventory or equipped
Agility	Move through the world (1 XP per 2 tiles traveled)

Mining rocks always deplete after yielding one ore (OSRS-accurate). Success rate depends on your Mining level, while pickaxe tier affects how often you roll for success.

Agility Training

Agility is unique - it trains passively as you explore:

• XP Rate: 1 XP per 2 tiles traveled
• XP Batching: XP drops appear every 100 tiles (50 XP)
• Running: ~200 XP/minute
• Walking: ~100 XP/minute
• Benefits: Higher Agility = faster stamina regeneration (+1% per level)
• Weight Impact: Heavy inventory increases stamina drain while running (+0.5% per kg)

Click the Agility skill in your Skills Panel to view unlock progression and see how stamina regeneration improves with each level.
