FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
What makes this different from vanilla Rust?
Tarnished Crown is a medieval RPG server. No modern guns, no vehicles. Instead you get 8 custom classes with unique skill trees and spell bars, 3 factions with territory control, enchanted loot drops, 8 world bosses, 25 quests, and 5 tiers of NPC difficulty. Your class level and skills persist across wipes.
Can I change my class?
Yes, type /class in chat. However, skill points and XP are tied to the class you earned them on — switching means starting from scratch on the new class while your old class retains its progress.
Can I change my faction?
No. Faction is locked for the entire wipe. You can choose a different faction after the next force wipe.
When does the server wipe?
The first Thursday of every month (Rust force wipe). Check the wipe schedule for a live countdown. Your class level, skill tree, and faction carry over — only the map, buildings, and inventory reset.
How do I use spells?
Unlock abilities in your skill tree (/st). They appear as note items in your inventory. Hold a note to select a spell in your spell bar (bottom of screen), then left-click to cast. See the commands page for details.
Are there guns?
No modern firearms. Bows, crossbows, swords, spears, and spells are the weapons of war. The Buccaneer class is the sole exception — pirates get access to primitive firearms (waterpipe, eoka, double barrel, nailgun).
Is this a PvP or PvE server?
Both — PvPvE. You can fight other players, raid bases, and engage in faction wars. But there are also 5 tiers of NPC enemies, 8 world bosses, and 25 quests for PvE content. The center of the map is the most dangerous for PvP.
How many players can join?
The server supports up to 50 players. Check current population with /pop in-game or the /pop slash command in Discord.
What's the server IP?
20.57.139.45:28015 — connect via F1 console: client.connect 20.57.139.45:28015. See the connect page for step-by-step.
Do I keep anything after wipe?
Yes! Class level, XP, skill tree unlocks, faction membership, class selection, and attribute points (STR/DEX/INT/CON) all persist. Only the map, buildings, inventory, and quest progress reset.
What's the map size?
Map size is 3000. Three faction territories around the edges, No Man's Land in the center. Fresh seed each wipe.
