WORLD OF HOODS

Pick a username and you are in — no wallet connection required. You can optionally connect MetaMask on the Robinhood chain to tag your account for on-chain rewards. You spawn at the Mainland plaza with a wooden sword, an axe, a pickaxe, a fishing rod, and two potions.

Click the ground to move. Click mobs to fight, trees to chop, rocks to mine, and water ripples to fish. Other online players appear in the world with you — say hi in chat.

This is the heart of World of Hoods. Fat cats — bankers, slumlords, hedge fund barons, and trust fund heirs — stroll the streets in top hats with a gold "$" floating overhead. Walk up to one and hit the Rob button to pick their pocket.

A clean steal pays gold that scales with your level. But watch yourself: roughly one in three robberies gets you caught, and their bodyguard will knock a chunk off your HP. Each noble's purse takes a minute to refill, so work the whole street — there are six of them out there.

Highgate plaza is home base in the north-east — fountain, bank, casino, tavern, and armory ring it. At the heart of the map lies Mirror Lake, with fishing spots and the Roast Pit on its shore. Cloudtop Pasture sits in the north-west, Thornveil forest fills the south-west with trees and ore, and the roped Sinkhole arena is in the south. The dark grass down the entire eastern edge marks the Hollow.

Click a tree with an axe in your bag to chop wood; click rock or coal nodes with a pickaxe to mine. Gathering levels up your separate Gathering skill (the green bar) and feeds several daily quests. Sell resources at the marketplace or burn wood cooking fish.

Melee combat only — click a mob and your character closes the gap and swings automatically. Arena mobs (slimes, zombies, brutes) are the training ground. Wilderness mobs (dire wolves, skeletons, the Warlord) hit harder and drop far better loot.

Level up to increase max HP and damage. Upgrade from wooden to iron to steel, then save for the $WoH-only Hood Blade.

Click the rippling fishing spots around The Pond with a rod in your bag to catch raw fish. Walk to the Roast Pit beside the pond and cook them — each cook takes 1 raw fish and 1 wood and yields a Cooked Fish you can eat or sell.

Open the scroll icon for your daily quests: defeat mobs, chop wood, mine ore, catch and cook fish, brave the Wilderness, earn gold, and spin the wheel. Rewards include gold, XP, and $WoH. Quests reset every day at midnight.

Gold buys most items. Open the Marketplace from the HUD cart button anywhere — buy gear, tools, and potions, sell loot and resources, or swap gold for $WoH. Every exchange routes 5% to the arena treasury.

Premium items like the Hood Blade and the Hood Cap can only be bought with $WoH.

Walk up to the spinner wheel beside the casino for one free spin every 12 hours. Extra spins cost 75 $WoH — half burned, half to treasury — and never reset your free timer. Prizes range from gold and potions up to the $WoH jackpot.

Every building in town is interactive. Walk up to one and a glowing prompt appears — click it (or it's one tap on mobile) to enter.

The Store and Armory open the Marketplace, the Casino opens the Lucky Wheel, and the Bank opens your personal vault. The Tavern still pours drinks for temporary buffs.

Death makes you drop carried gold — so stash it. The Bank holds your gold and items in a secure, server-authoritative vault that survives death and can never be looted by other players.

Deposit gold or items, withdraw whenever you like. Banked value is settled on the server, so it is safe even if your connection drops mid-transaction.

Stake your claim on the map. Build a house on any open patch of ground for gold plus gathered wood and stone, then name it whatever you want and pick one of four styles. Your house is visible to every player in the world, nameplate and all.

Houses are tradable property. List yours for sale in gold or $WoH; when another player walks up and buys it, ownership transfers and the proceeds settle securely to you — the same anti-cheat-safe system that powers the marketplace. Build a little neighborhood, flip houses for profit, or just plant your flag.
