Overview
- Embark confirms a sign-up window from December 17 to 22, with all registered players departing simultaneously when the window closes.
- Participation requires level 20 and resets skills, level, stash, workshop, crafting abilities, and blueprints, though the tutorial is skipped with maps and workshop upgrades available immediately.
- Rewards include permanent cosmetics and +12 stash slots plus temporary account buffs to repair speed (10%), XP gain (5%), and Scrappy materials (6%), with buffs expiring if you skip the next expedition and only one departure allowed per window.
- Extra skill points are awarded at one per 1,000,000 coins of combined stash and wallet value, capped at five, with the valuation taken at the close of the sign-up window.
- Reporting from community forums highlights mounting pushback, with players saying the coin-based conversion encourages hoarding and low-risk play, including widespread use of level 1 gear ahead of the wipe.
