Many games have interesting areas to explore. Some games offer experience points for exploring. Now Karinth goes one step further, allowing explorers to leave their permanent mark on the map, claiming discoveries and making their knowledge available to the world.

How is this done? As you come across something interesting in our vast world, your character can use a journal to note it down. This can then be turned in at a library to archive the knowledge. Not only do you receive some experience for this discovery, but all of these pieces of information are automatically collated and sorted into an online bestiary and list of equipment, citing the finder's name for posterity. You add directly to the world's knowledge, which can later be used by others.

If this isn't enough to quench your thirst for discovery, we also have Explorer Stones, landmarks scattered all across the world, granting a boon to those who come across them. With these new additions, being a voracious explorer and seeking out new knowledge is another viable way to level without drenching your hands with the blood of thousands.

In order for everyone to have a fair chance at making these new discoveries, the journaling system will be enabled on Saturday, September 16, at noon Pacific time. Even if you've never played Karinth before, you have a chance to get your name on the lists and be rewarded for learning about the world, so I invite you to join us in cataloguing the lands for posterity.

History always remembers the intrepid explorers, and now Karinth does too. Leave your mark upon the vast world, and become the Legend at .
