Order & Chaos Online Game Mechanics


Order & Chaos is an huge game with a multitude of elements making it up. This site is attempting to make those elements easier to understand and therefore more fun. We are experimenting with the layout so be sure to hunt around a little bit if you are having trouble finding what you are looking for. It is probably here somewhere.
  1. PVP

    PVP Zones

    There are PvP zones in higher level areas of Order and Chaos online. Entering a PvP zone applies a flag on you that allows other players to attack you. Once you leave a PVP zone you lose that flag after just a couple of minutes. You can find out the remaining time on your PvP flag by touching the status effect icon next to your character portrait. If a player appears as red to you it means that they are currently able to be attacked.
    The first PVP zone you encounter is the Swamp of Wyrms at about level 22+

    PVP Arenas

    Arenas are planned for the game in the near future. You can find entrances to the arena in the city of Greenmont that say to check back soon. Expect arenas in one of the first content patches, which typically come after a few bugfix patches.
  2. Vanity Pets

    Vanity Pets are in game pets that follow you around as you go about your travels. Currently vanity pets only provide an aestetic benefit and provide no help to the player. It is interesting that they do have there own health bar and level so perhaps in the future this may change.
    They can be bought for gold from a pet seller in Greenmont right by the Auction House. In exchange for runes (bought through in app purchase) you can purchase Vanity pets from Ubiquitous Nick who is located in various main towns are the world. Lastly you can acquire certain vanity pets off of monsters (for example, all wolves have a slight chance of dropping a ’Young Wolf’)
  3. Ubiquitous Nick

    This strange little fellow can be seen throughout the world in most medium to large sized towns. Everything Nick sells is bought with Rune Stones (5 for $.99, 30 for $4.99, 95 for $14.99, 320 for $49.99, and 650 for $99.99).
    Currently he offers series of hour long buffs as well as rune only Vanity Pets. These pets are all listed on the image below.
  4. Auction House


  5. Guilds

    The guild system in order of chaos is fairly rudementary at the moment. Currently they act as a large chat room and to have the name of that guild under your name as your travel around the game world. That being said it is a very useful way of having a large social network in the game to find partners to level with…or call to help you when you’ve been getting killed for hours by some jerk who thinks its fun to prey on low level characters just trying to level. Your guild list can be found on the second tab of the social section of your characters’ game menu.

    Guild Features

    • Tag Below your name that can be turned off in the options menu.
    • A guild chat channel that acts just like the Global or Local channel, but if green and should be less annoying if you picked the right guild. This channel can be shut off like all the others by pressing and holding on the green guild channel icon for three seconds.
    • The guild member list is found under the social option in the second tab. Much like a pre populated friends list.
    • Guild Ranks can be assigned to players although currently there is no use for this system beyond the social bragging rights.
  6. Teleporation

    Due to the massive size of the Order & Chaos world, foot transportation can be extremely difficult and tedious. Instead of going with flying mounts like in WoW, Gameloft decided to use a teleportation system.

    Teleport Masters

    Teleport Masters can teleport you anywhere you want, for a small service fee. They are usually located in towns and hotspots and are very useful for long distance travel. Just about every single friendly town has a teleport person. They usually are just a little bit out of the town area so sometimes you have to search a little bit.

    Teleportation Runes

    The easiest way (and also the most costly way) to get around the map is using Teleportation Runes. These runes can be purchased from the teleport merchant in Greenmont. But such ease comes with a large price-tag; many new players may find that the runes are too costly. It should be noted that these runes are one-use only. You can also buy runes for individual towns from certain provision merchants (with the bread icon). You must be in the town (silence and bellshoal for example) and can only buy the rune for returning to that town. They are usually located on the last page of their wares and goods.
