Gameplay

Wonderland Online is a story of a group of shipwreck survivors stranded on an isolated island. Players may perform quests, solve puzzles, manufacture items and indulge in interior decoration.[1] The graphics are anime-style 2D. The game world is based on the real-world Earth, and includes classical representations of countries such as China, Egypt, Philippines, Korea, Japan, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Maya and the South Pole.[3]

Characters have attributes and magical powers based on the four elements: defensive ability is based on earth, support abilities on water, attack abilities on fire and agility and speed on wind.[3]

Equipment can be obtained by Alchemy, Alchemy success rate and rarity can be defined by alchemy level and tier. Tiers are divided between None, Primary, Junior, and Superior. Initial tier is None, new tiers can be unlocked by quests.[4] The higher the tier of alchemy, the rarer the items the player can make.[5] Most of the equipment can be enhanced by either the use of forge on the item mall, which costs points and is of exponentially decreasing success chance. Or of enhancement scrolls which ranges from 50-100% chance, these can be obtained either thru the item mall or special events.[6]
