Oasis Interlude+ Roadmap: A Comprehensive Look at the Future of Character Progression

As we approach the highly anticipated release of Interlude+, the Oasis development team is excited to share our vision for the months ahead. This roadmap represents our commitment to creating a rich, engaging progression system that rewards both individual dedication and collaborative gameplay.

Introduction

The transition to Interlude+ marks a significant milestone for Oasis, and with it comes an ambitious content roadmap designed to revolutionize how players approach character development. Our goal is to create a progression system that feels meaningful, challenging, and ultimately rewarding for players of all playstyles.

Important Note: This roadmap represents our current vision and planning. As with any evolving project, these ideas are subject to refinement and adjustment based on community feedback and testing results. We believe in transparency and want to share our direction while remaining flexible enough to adapt to player needs.

Core Progression Systems

1. Belt System: Expanding Your Carrying Capacity

The belt system represents one of our most innovative additions to character progression. These items provide weight capacity increases and additional inventory slots.

Belt Tiers and Progression

  • Rag Belt - Basic weight capacity increase
  • Leather Belt - Moderate weight capacity and inventory slot increase
  • Iron Belt - Significant weight capacity and inventory slot increase
  • Mithril Belt - High weight capacity and inventory slot increase

Each belt tier provides:

  • Increased weight limit
  • Additional inventory slots
  • Specific stat bonuses (subject to testing and balance)

The belt progression system is designed to scale with player investment, ensuring that even casual players can access basic functionality while providing meaningful upgrades for those who invest time and effort.

2. Talisman System: Unlocking Hidden Potential

The talisman system represents our most complex and rewarding progression mechanic. Players will discover that these items can enhance their character's stats through a slot system.

Bracelet Slot Progression

The foundation of the talisman system lies in bracelet upgrades that unlock additional talisman slots:

  • 3-Slot Bracelet - Basic tier, unlocks 3 talisman slots
  • 5-Slot Bracelet - Advanced tier, unlocks 5 talisman slots

This system creates a natural progression where players must first obtain better bracelets before they can equip more talismans.

Talisman Categories and Tiers

Our talisman system includes several distinct categories, each offering different stat bonuses:

Combat Enhancement Talismans:

  • Venir Talisman
  • Radiant Talisman
  • Noble Talisman
  • Auth Talisman

Specialized Talismans:

  • Tower of Insolence Talisman - Dungeon-specific stat bonuses
  • Core Talisman - Core character stat improvements

Each talisman can be upgraded through multiple tiers, with each upgrade providing increasingly powerful stat bonuses. The system is designed to encourage long-term investment while maintaining game balance.

Epic Jewelry Progression: A Three-Tier System

Perhaps our most ambitious feature is the three-tier epic jewelry progression system. This system transforms epic items from simple endgame rewards into the foundation of a complex upgrade path.

Tier Structure

Enhanced Tier (E-Tier):

  • Base epic items with enhanced stats
  • Accessible through traditional PvP and farming methods
  • Serves as the foundation for higher tiers

Refined Tier (R-Tier):

  • Upgraded epics with significantly improved stats
  • Requires special upgrade materials from instanced content
  • Represents a major investment in character development

Immortal Tier (I-Tier):

  • The pinnacle of epic jewelry progression
  • Requires extensive farming and rare materials
  • Provides the most powerful stat bonuses available

Upgrade Mechanics

The upgrade system requires players to collect specific materials from instanced content. Each tier requires more materials than the last, creating a natural progression curve that rewards dedication and teamwork.

Instanced Content: The Heart of Progression

Instance Philosophy

Our instanced content is designed with several core principles in mind:

  1. Accessibility - Content available to groups of 5-10 players
  2. Flexibility - No strict clan requirements, allowing cross-faction cooperation
  3. Reward Structure - Guaranteed upgrade materials for all participants
  4. Balanced Loot - Traditional drops (armor, weapons, adena, books) alongside upgrade materials

Instance Mechanics

  • Weekly/Bi-weekly Reset - Regular access to prevent burnout
  • No PvP Windows - Pure PvE focus for stress-free progression
  • Flexible Scheduling - Players can organize runs at their convenience
  • Fair Distribution - Pre-established loot rules prevent drama

Instance Rewards

The primary purpose of instanced content is to provide upgrade materials for epic jewelry progression. However, these instances also offer:

  • Standard epic jewelry drops (for E-tier progression)
  • Upgrade materials for R-tier and I-tier progression
  • Traditional loot (armor, weapons, adena, books)
  • Experience and character development opportunities
