** Item Merchants sell warp scrolls that allow instant teleportation to one of the three main towns, depending on the scroll. These do not leave a return point, but they're significantly cheaper and bypass the need to pick a location, allowing them to be used as an escape method in a pinch. Fedimian scrolls are only sold in Fedimian, preventing the player from jumping to the game's halfway point before they're ready, but the other two are sold at the start so the player can move between the two halves of the map for questing.

* AntiGrinding: Grinding as opposed to questing is made difficult by a number of factors. Fighting monsters too far above or below your current level comes with experience penalties, to the point of outright granting no experience if the difference is too great. Dungeons have enemies which are far tougher but grant much more experience (with a bonus if you use enter with the party matching system), but you can only do these twice a day (plus however many reset scrolls you may have) and the experience penalties still apply. Finally, the necessary experience to reach the next level doesn't increase consistently, instead going up considerably every 40 levels or so and dropping back down for the next cycle, so grinding tends to lose its effectiveness at the edges of these cycles.

Long ago, Emperor Zachariel succeeded in uniting the land's disparate countries under his banner. The resulting nation was known simply as "the Kingdom," for no other nations were known to exist outside Zachariel's rule. Zachariel established a new city as the Kingdom's capital, around a tree known as the Divine Tree. Every year, priests would gather in the capital city to bless the Divine Tree.
In 1091, almost a hundred years after the celebration of the Millenary (the thousand-year anniversary of the Kingdom's founding), the divine tree suddenly grew dramatically in size, destroying much of the capital city (as well as damaging outlying cities) and leaving the citizens dumbstruck. The tree had grown so tall that it appeared to touch the sky--its trunk so wide that it could not be measured. Yet this was only the beginning--monstrous, carnivorous plants appeared throughout the city and devoured much of the surviving populace. The king, the royal family, most of his ministers, and much of the Kingdom's government also perished in the aftermath.
That day came to be known as Medis Diena, or the Day of the Divine Tree. Since that day, the Goddesses have been gone from the world, unresponsive to the prayers of the Kingdom's people.
Four years later, certain people throughout the land experienced a dream in which the Goddess of Destiny, Laima, told them to go to the mining town of Klaipeda. They are known as Revelators, and they are the Kingdom's best hope in finding out what happened to the Goddesses and how to set the world right again.
''Tree of Savior'' (originally known as ''Project R1'' when it was first announced at Hangame 2011) is an action-adventure {{MMORPG}} developed by IMC Games (the same company responsible for ''VideoGame/GranadoEspada''), set in a world based on Lithuanian folklore and the native religions of the Baltic region.
The game is the industry equivalent of PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Hak Kyu Kim, IMC Games' founder, was one of the founders of Gravity Corporation and part of ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'''s original development team. Several of ''RO's'' original developers are working on ''Tree of Savior'' as part of his studio--including SoundTMP, who provided the bulk of ''RO's'' soundtrack. Between this and the similar presentation, game mechanics, and TwoAndAHalfD SpritePolygonMix, many have hailed this game as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''RO''.
Presently the game is still in beta. An English-language closed beta was held via Steam between the 4th and 10th of August 2015, with 5,000 randomly picked participants (with some additional beta keys sent out later on).

!!''Tree of Savior'' provides examples of:
* ActionRPG: ''Tree of Savior'' is decidedly more of one in its mechanics than ''RO'' (or any of its sequels) is--footwork is just as important to staying alive as your stats and gear, multiple classes have the ability to attack while on the move, and combat isn't just a matter of autoattacking. Oh--and you can ''jump''. Also, while the game ''can'' be controlled via [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] like ''RO'' was, ''Tree of Savior'' defaults to keyboard commands and is also compatible with gamepads.
* BossBattle: Oh, sure, raid bosses and ''RO''-style MVP bosses spawning right in a field are to be expected. ''Tree of Savior'', however, has many, ''many'' event or quest-triggered boss battles which pit you (and your party, if you have one) alone against the beastie. Many of these play out more like a boss battle from the ''Franchise/{{Ys}}'' series than anything else!
** For these type of battles, the game seamlessly places you in an instanced version of the field you're currently on. Once the boss is defeated, you're phased back into the rest of the world.
* BreakableWeapons: Weapons and armor both have durability gauges that deplete with use (and deplete dramatically upon death). They can be repaired either by a Squire, or by a non-player Blacksmith.
* BulletHell: A few bosses have moves that involve firing patterns of bullets and lasers. As you progress, these patterns grow more complex and harder to dodge.
* CallingYourAttacks: Player characters do this for many of their class skills--and not simply through text as was done in ''RO'', but through voice!
* CharacterClassSystem: ''Tree of Savior'' sports a rather unorthodox class system. Every character starts with a base profession, but after a certain amount of levels, they advance to a new rank and are given a choice of continuing to stay in their current profession (though this can only be done up to three times), or pick a new one (depending on what's available). There are six ranks overall, and theoretically a different class can be picked for each of them--or, a character can specialize in only two classes.
* TheChosenMany: Even though characters might refer to you as ''the'' Revelator, you aren't the ''only'' Revelator. Aside from the fact that all player characters are Revelators, several non-player characters are also considered Revelators as well.
** In a LeaningOnTheFourthWall moment, one NPC in the western Šiauliai Woods comments on the sheer number of Revelators running about.
* CrosshairAware: Early boss battles (and certain enemies in the field) telegraph their attacks with glowing red danger zones or arrow paths. As you progress, however, boss attacks speed up, and bosses start dispensing with them entirely.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Similar to the games that came before it, ''Tree of Savior'' doesn't punish players too hard for death--they're given the option of waiting for a resurrection or respawning at their last spawn point (or, revive right where they died [[{{Microtransactions}} for a small fee]]). However, dying does dramatically drop the durability of equipped gear, and certain items (such as gemstones) will be destroyed upon death.
* ElementsOfNature: Here, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire. They are explicitly considered "the simplest forms of all things," and under the purview of the Goddesses.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Kingdom has no other name than "the Kingdom." It encompasses all the lands held by previously known nation-states, so its founder, subsequent rulers, and citizens have felt no need to give it a name.
* Gotterdammerung: One woman in Klaipeda mentions that even before Medis Diena, the Goddesses have been disappearing one by one. Gabija stopped replying a long time ago, followed by Vakarinė just before Medis Diena, then Zemyna and Saulė shortly afterward. People aren't even sure if Laima is truly a goddess, as the common people have never seen her. Ever.
* HardCodedHostility: Ever since Medis Diena, all manner of creatures have become increasingly violent to humans, where before only the Vubbes were ever trouble. One soldier notes early on that plant-based monsters didn't exist at all before that day. When you reach Srautas Canyon, you'll discover that the goat-like Pantos were once friendly to and mingled with humans, but ever since Medis Diena they have become increasingly hostile.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: One of the central themes present in the storyline.
* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: This has become more noticeable thanks to the ability to jump. You'll inevitably find a lot of places that look like they should be accessible, either by jumping over a barrier or landing on a ledge--but try as you might, you just can't get to them.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the case of player characters, thanks to the Lodge system--all characters owned by an account belong to the same Lodge, which is also named by the player. The Lodge's name acts as a sort of surname for the characters, and it's what people will see in party lists as well as the chat window.
* PointBuildSystem: ''Tree of Savior'' has one that is similar to what ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has, albeit with some major changes. Rather than six stats (STR/VIT/DEX/AGI/INT/LUK), there's five--
** STR (Strength), which governs physical and CriticalHit sttrength as well as how much a character can carry,
** CON (Constitution), which governs resistance to {{Critical Hit}}s, maximum HP, and HP recovery rate,
** INT (Intelligence), which governs magic attack strength,
** SPR (Intelligence), which governs maximum SP, SP recovery rate, and the ability to penetrate blocks,
** DEX (Dexterity), which governs accuracy ''and'' evasion as well as the probability of inflicting {{Critical Hit}}s.
* ShockwaveStomp: A ''very'' common attack used by event boss monsters, found in many flavors.
* SpiritualSuccessor: As noted, ''Tree of Savior'' is widely hailed as one to ''Ragnarok Online.'' The game includes many mechanics that the original dev team for ''RO'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen had planned]] before Samsung bought Gravity Corporation early on. Some of these include--
** The 80+ classes. Gravity's founders had planned 70 or so for ''Ragnarok Online'', but the dev team that replaced them opted for a less-diverse, more-vertical class system.
** Characters owning their own customizable home, revisited here as the Lodge system.
** Massive, fully polygonal bosses. Gravity had attempted to implement something like this in ''RO'' with a zombie dragon MVP in Payon Dungeon (originally it was a ''massive'' sprite-based monster), but it never happened due to the Samsung buyout and departure of the original devteam.
* StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: While in the Crystal Mine, you may come across a dining table at the miner's resting hall which still happens to have a plate of potato dumplings set out. Even though you're explicitly told they don't look like they should be eaten, your only options are: "Eat it," "Try eating it," and "Must try eating it."

* ActionRPG: ''Tree of Savior'' is decidedly more of one in its mechanics than ''RO'' (or any of its sequels) is--footwork is just as important to staying alive as your stats and gear, multiple classes have the ability to attack while on the move, and combat isn't just a matter of autoattacking. Oh--and you can ''jump''. Also, while the game ''can'' be controlled via [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] like ''RO'' was, ''Tree of Savior'' defaults to keyboard commands and is also compatible with gamepads.
* BossBattle: Oh, sure, raid bosses and ''RO''-style MVP bosses spawning right in a field are to be expected. ''Tree of Savior'', however, has many, ''many'' event or quest-triggered boss battles which pit you (and your party, if you have one) alone against the beastie. Many of these play out more like a boss battle from the ''Franchise/{{Ys}}'' series than anything else!
** For these type of battles, the game seamlessly places you in an instanced version of the field you're currently on. Once the boss is defeated, you're phased back into the rest of the world.
* BreakableWeapons: Weapons and armor both have durability gauges that deplete with use (and deplete dramatically upon death). They can be repaired either by a Squire, or by a non-player Blacksmith.
* BulletHell: A few bosses have moves that involve firing patterns of bullets and lasers. As you progress, these patterns grow more complex and harder to dodge.
* CallingYourAttacks: Player characters do this for many of their class skills--and not simply through text as was done in ''RO'', but through voice!
* CharacterClassSystem: ''Tree of Savior'' sports a rather unorthodox class system. Every character starts with a base profession, but after a certain amount of levels, they advance to a new rank and are given a choice of continuing to stay in their current profession (though this can only be done up to three times), or pick a new one (depending on what's available). There are six ranks overall, and theoretically a different class can be picked for each of them--or, a character can specialize in only two classes.
* TheChosenMany: Even though characters might refer to you as ''the'' Revelator, you aren't the ''only'' Revelator. Aside from the fact that all player characters are Revelators, several non-player characters are also considered Revelators as well.
** In a LeaningOnTheFourthWall moment, one NPC in the western Šiauliai Woods comments on the sheer number of Revelators running about.
* CrosshairAware: Early boss battles (and certain enemies in the field) telegraph their attacks with glowing red danger zones or arrow paths. As you progress, however, boss attacks speed up, and bosses start dispensing with them entirely.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Similar to the games that came before it, ''Tree of Savior'' doesn't punish players too hard for death--they're given the option of waiting for a resurrection or respawning at their last spawn point (or, revive right where they died [[{{Microtransactions}} for a small fee]]). However, dying does dramatically drop the durability of equipped gear, and certain items (such as gemstones) will be destroyed upon death.
* ElementsOfNature: Here, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire. They are explicitly considered "the simplest forms of all things," and under the purview of the Goddesses.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Kingdom has no other name than "the Kingdom." It encompasses all the lands held by previously known nation-states, so its founder, subsequent rulers, and citizens have felt no need to give it a name.
* Gotterdammerung: One woman in Klaipeda mentions that even before Medis Diena, the Goddesses have been disappearing one by one. Gabija stopped replying a long time ago, followed by Vakarinė just before Medis Diena, then Zemyna and Saulė shortly afterward. People aren't even sure if Laima is truly a goddess, as the common people have never seen her. Ever.
* HardCodedHostility: Ever since Medis Diena, all manner of creatures have become increasingly violent to humans, where before only the Vubbes were ever trouble. One soldier notes early on that plant-based monsters didn't exist at all before that day. When you reach Srautas Canyon, you'll discover that the goat-like Pantos were once friendly to and mingled with humans, but ever since Medis Diena they have become increasingly hostile.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: One of the central themes present in the storyline.
* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: This has become more noticeable thanks to the ability to jump. You'll inevitably find a lot of places that look like they should be accessible, either by jumping over a barrier or landing on a ledge--but try as you might, you just can't get to them.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the case of player characters, thanks to the Lodge system--all characters owned by an account belong to the same Lodge, which is also named by the player. The Lodge's name acts as a sort of surname for the characters, and it's what people will see in party lists as well as the chat window.
* PointBuildSystem: ''Tree of Savior'' has one that is similar to what ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has, albeit with some major changes. Rather than six stats (STR/VIT/DEX/AGI/INT/LUK), there's five--
** STR (Strength), which governs physical and CriticalHit sttrength as well as how much a character can carry,
** CON (Constitution), which governs resistance to {{Critical Hit}}s, maximum HP, and HP recovery rate,
** INT (Intelligence), which governs magic attack strength,
** SPR (Intelligence), which governs maximum SP, SP recovery rate, and the ability to penetrate blocks,
** DEX (Dexterity), which governs accuracy ''and'' evasion as well as the probability of inflicting {{Critical Hit}}s.
* ShockwaveStomp: A ''very'' common attack used by event boss monsters, found in many flavors.
* SpiritualSuccessor: As noted, ''Tree of Savior'' is widely hailed as one to ''Ragnarok Online.'' The game includes many mechanics that the original dev team for ''RO'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen had planned]] before Samsung bought Gravity Corporation early on. Some of these include--
** The 80+ classes. Gravity's founders had planned 70 or so for ''Ragnarok Online'', but the dev team that replaced them opted for a less-diverse, more-vertical class system.
** Characters owning their own customizable home, revisited here as the Lodge system.
** Massive, fully polygonal bosses. Gravity had attempted to implement something like this in ''RO'' with a zombie dragon MVP in Payon Dungeon (originally it was a ''massive'' sprite-based monster), but it never happened due to the Samsung buyout and departure of the original devteam.
* StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: While in the Crystal Mine, you may come across a dining table at the miner's resting hall which still happens to have a plate of potato dumplings set out. Even though you're explicitly told they don't look like they should be eaten, your only options are: "Eat it," "Try eating it," and "Must try eating it." Suffice to say, be glad [[ItTastesLikeFeet it's your character who's eating them and not you]].
