Progression

Your Folks get stronger by winning fights. You grow by following the Island Journal, doing daily quests and earning a good reputation.

Folk levels

• Your Folk earns XP when it beats a wild Folk of its own level or higher.
• Beating a Folk below your Folk's level gives no XP and no coins.
• A win against a Folk at your Folk's level or higher pays 5 coins plus 7 for each level of the Folk you beat.
• Folks stop at level 20. Every level makes their stats grow, except Luck, which stays the same.

Each Folk's page shows its stats at level 1 and 20. See Folkopedia.

Temperament

Every Folk you summon has a temperament that never changes. It raises one stat and lowers another by the same percentage. How much depends on its strength, shown here with Brash: 6% for Mildly Brash, 10% for Brash and 14% for Fiercely Brash.

• Brash: Hits harder, but takes more damage.
• Brutish: Hits harder, but is easier to hit.
• Fey: Stronger special attacks, but takes more damage.
• Pensive: Stronger special attacks, but is easier to hit.
• Stoic: Takes less damage, but is easier to hit.
• Skittish: Harder to hit, but takes more damage.

Energy

• Every step costs 1 energy, except in dungeons, where walking is free. Opening the dig board costs 75.
• With no energy left you can't walk. Some dishes give energy back.
• You get 1 energy back every 5 seconds, up to 1,000. It refills even while you are away.

Reputation

Your reputation shows how the island sees you.

How it goes up and down

• Beat a wild Folk above your Folk's level: +1 for each level it has over yours.
• Plant a seed: +2. Water soil with fresh water: +1.
• Cut a plant down: -1. Pour salty water on soil: -1.
• Offer artifacts at the Temple. Rarer artifacts give more.
• Or offer coins at the Temple: 15 coins per point while your reputation is below 0, then 250 coins per point. Coins can raise it to 150 (Honored) at most.

What it does

• Each rank above Neutral makes the Wandering Merchant pay 10% more for artifacts. Each rank below makes him pay 10% less.
• The Terra Mole, who reshapes the land on your island, works for you 2 times every 24 hours, plus once more for each rank above Neutral. Below Neutral he will not work for you.
