This dossier began as a class guide and has grown into a field manual for No Rest for the Wicked: the story that sets the game in motion, the class system Moon Studios is bringing at 1.0, the gear rules every build answers to, and a full reference for the gems, enchantments, vendors and items in the live game.

It is written for the player who wants to understand a choice before making it. Every class will be a commitment of weapon, attribute spread, gems and enchantments; every vendor visit is a question of what can actually be on the shelf. The aim throughout is to put the real numbers and the real lists in one place, and to be honest about where the record ends and the reasoning begins.

The guide opens with The Lore, the events that lead to a Cerim washing ashore in the Shallows. What We Know sets out the class-system record and separates it from inference. Factions lays out all six factions and the twenty-four classes beneath them; Classes profiles the armors revealed so far, one at a time; and Rules That Govern sets out the gear mechanics every build answers to.

Then the reference: Infusions covers all forty-two gems and every slot they fit; Enchantments lists every roll in the game by the piece it lands on; Vendors covers all seventeen traders on Isola Sacra — how to unlock each, what they guarantee, and the pools they draw their random stock from at every shop level; and the Catalog lists every item those pools can produce, by type, with each item's full panel a hover away.

Nothing here is final. The class system is still being built and the live game keeps changing; this dossier grows with each reveal until all twenty-four classes are covered, and the reference sections are refreshed from the game data as it moves. Where a claim is Moon's own it is marked confirmed; where it is coverage or deduction it is marked as such.

The reveal itself

The October 2nd post is art, not design. Moon published five renders with one line of copy between them: shocked steel, walking fortresses, plague harnessing, frozen majesty and gilded skulkers. Those five phrases sit in the same order as the five images, which is how this dossier pairs them. Confirmed

No class in the post carries a stat line, a weapon list, a trait, or a number of any kind. The studio closed by pointing at the next Wicked Inside for the class system deep dive.

How the system is changing

Each weapon archetype maps to a class. Using a weapon earns points that unlock that class's traits, you equip six at a time, and mastering a weapon lets you extract its runes. Classes also get a super on a charge bar. Reported

Two changes matter more than the rest: weapons lose their attribute requirements, and 1.0 arrives with a save wipe. The first turns attributes from gates into pure scaling and survivability decisions. The second means nothing you build before launch carries over.

Moon published a screenshot of the class selection screen, and the whole roster is legible in it: six factions, four classes each, twenty-four in total. Every name and every faction placement below is read directly off that screen. Confirmed

The screen carries its own warning across the bottom — subject to change. Names and groupings can still move before March.

What the screen does not give is what the classes do. Only Rogue's description was visible. The mechanics below come from an earlier experimental build documented by the community wiki, which covered nineteen of these names, and from coverage of the class reveal.

Two classes, Cutthroat and Harbinger, appear on the screen and nowhere else. Nothing is known about either beyond the faction they sit in and their weapon icon.

Infusions are the gems. Every one of them socketed into a weapon, a shield or a piece of armor, and what it does depends on where it sits: the same stone reads differently on a blade than on a helmet. There are forty-two in the live game, in twenty-one families of two tiers each — the chipped, tiny and small stones are tier one, the mottled and medium stones tier two.

Sockets are the constraint. Common gear carries four, magical, plagued and unique gear carry one, so a fully socketed common piece can out-build a rare one. The elemental gems carry a second constraint of their own, set out under that heading below.

Each family is listed once with both tiers side by side, grouped by what the gem is for. Item value is the merchant price in bronze. Effects are given per slot exactly as the game states them; where every armor piece reads the same the row is collapsed to All armor.

The whole list is drawn from the community wiki, which tracks the live build. The class system arriving at 1.0 may rework what these stones do; the loadout tables in the class profiles above already assume the current values.

Enchantments are the rolls on magical and plagued gear. Every one is a range — the number an item actually carries lands somewhere inside it, and exalting at the Watcher pushes it up by a quarter per step, four steps at most. There are 405 of them in the live game across seven kinds of item.

They come in three pools. Magical is the ordinary pool. Plagued is the stronger pool that plagued gear rolls from, and plagued gear always carries one Downside alongside its upsides. An item never carries two enchantments from the same group, Misc excepted, so a piece's rolls read as a set rather than a list.

The pools are sorted here by the piece they land on, because that is how you meet them: standing over a drop, deciding whether the gloves are worth the sockets. Within each piece the magical and plagued pools are grouped the way the game groups them, which is also the rule for what can share an item.

Bows are listed separately from weapons; they share most of the melee pool and add their own dodge-and-retaliate rolls. Where a class profile above names an enchantment, it is one of these.

Seventeen vendors trade on Isola Sacra. Twelve of them work Sacrament, the hub: an innkeeper, an enchanter, a smith, a cook, a general trader, a builder, an alchemist, two tailors, a woodworker, a rune seller and the Watcher. Four more keep stalls in Marin Village at village prices, and the Seneschal holds the Cerim Crucible and deals in Gloamseed.

Stock in the current build is not a fixed list. Most vendors draw their shelves at random from category pools, and what a stall tier buys you is more draws — Eleanor pulls three magic weapons at Level 1 and seven at Level 3. The tables give the pools, the rarity each draw can be, how many of each item a draw holds, and the number of picks at each shop level. Where a vendor also carries guaranteed items, those are listed with their prices.

Each vendor is listed with how to unlock them, where they stand, and what they trade. Prices are in the game's coin — gold, silver and bronze — and a price multiplier in the header means that vendor sells above or below the Sacrament rate. Traders exchange goods rather than sell them; their tables show what to give and what you get back.

The game data is drawn from norestforthewicked.gg, which reads it from the live build; the unlocks, locations, quests, services and building projects come from the Fextralife wiki. Where the two disagree the game data wins, and the old fixed price lists from early access have been retired.
