"Hello Adventurer, the Guild needs your help! Travel across the high seas and map the lands on the very top of this world. Can you do that?"

The Classy Adventurers Guild is in a dire need of assistance! We have an important mission in the world of Ylands and we need every adventurer we can get to help us out! Anyone who hears the call of adventure, or the sea, or the mountains, or whatever you hear in the back of your head, you are the ONE to help with our crucial tasks.



Which tasks? Oh, you know, mapping distant ylands, slaying vicious beasts, preparing yummy meals, building castles and latrines, riding the waves and animals, discovering new materials and new technologies, looting a bunch (only the bad guys, of course), laughing at your friends' jokes and so on. This list is literally endless, just as all the stuff you can do with the C.A.G. in the world of Ylands. It's fun, so hop aboard!


[h2]How can I join C.A.G.? [/h2]

Short answer: Easily. You are welcome.

Long answer: Download the game (it's free) and dive into its immense world. Or simply launch it, if you already have it downloaded. All available platforms are here: ylands.com/adventureawaits


Even longer answer: There is no "even longer answer" because it really is that easy. So just go ahead, pick your platform and download the game. Or just launch it and update it on your platform if you already have it downloaded.

Ahoy Ylanders!

The new big fat update is on the verge of happening and today we will share with you probably the biggest new feature revealed so far! Everyone who will join the Classy Adventurers Guild (meaning every Ylander) will get their own Handbook.

A Handbook? What is that?!

TL;DR it's a super cool guide that's gonna give you all sorts of juicy Ylands lore and quest. Some are easy-peasy and great for newbies, while others are gonna test even the most veteran Ylanders out there (Looking at you YoHas). Follow your Diary journal from the day your ship sank all the way to the end of the story. Every time you do something new or cool in the game, your character will have their own ideas and notes about those things, which might push you towards further exploration and fun!
So, for example when trying to swim underwater for the first time, your character might observe how a certain piece of equipment might make flip-flopping in the water easier and faster, scribbling their idea down in the Diary. You will be guided through your first crafted campfire, your first sailing, and discovering new lands. It should help you and new players understand why you learned each recipe and where to find things in the world.

Not only that but you also get a list of things you might want to achieve next. Therefore, becoming an experienced adventurer is much easier now.

Here are some leaked sketches

As Horatio Reginald Elmwood is not the most thoughtful and disciplined of adventurers there are some leaked pictures of the Handbook, so check those out! These will appear next to important events in your Diary.



We're stoked to bring this feature to you as we think it's gonna help you connect with the world of Ylands even more!

So, get ready to dive into The Handbook and let us know what you think. We can't wait to hear your thoughts.


Thanks, and stay classy!

Ahoy Ylanders,

So, sailing to the edge of the map so you can travel to the next yland, is cool stuff, right? You can feel the adventure in your veins! Water splashing, the soundtrack playing all around, fish vibing, sun shining, and other cool Ylands stuff that we all love.

Maybe at first, but when it's your three hundred and forty-fifth sail to another yland it feels kinda pointless, and you are 100% right! So, we do what? We go and fix it! From the upcoming update, all you need is to be ready to steer your ship, and you are good to go.

But wait there is more! Quick question: What was the weather like when you arrived at a new location the last time? Let me guess, it was sunny! Did I get it right? I'm not trying to be 5head or anything but yea, I got it right. 😁 That's just how it is, but not for long! Starting with the next update, the weather and the daytime upon your arrival at a location will be random.



"More dangerous? Probably. More fun? Definitely!"
- Horatio Reginald Elmwood

We thought that the adventure atmosphere would be way more tangible when you arrive at an unknown location during a night or a storm or, you know, both. Also, we like to think that all kinds of weather in the Ylands are quite beautiful so showing that off seemed like a good idea.

Anyway, that's it for today, wish you a great weekend, and let us know what you think about these changes in the comments!

Stay Classy.
