Classic

This is the standard world difficulty.

1

Expert

Expert Mode worlds contain the same enemies, but with increased stats, and some have altered behavior patterns that make them more difficult to defeat.

2

Master

A harder version of Expert Mode, with the same AI but increased health and damage. It also includes two new drops per boss, and an extra accessory slot.

3

Journey

This is an easier mode, that gives the player extra items on the start, allows duplicating items, and allows making the game easier.

Setting A World Difficulty

1 Login to the Kinetic Panel and Stop your server.

2 Go to the Settings page

3 Locate the Difficulty option and enter a new value.

4 Start the server to apply the new difficulty.
