Dojo

The Dojo is the place to equip and train weapons. Training with someone with the same weapon will increase mastery for both players if they're under rank 1, and for the lower rank player otherwise. If the two players have different weapons there is no reward.

The available weapons to train are gun, rifle, nun-chucks, katana, bat, garrote, brassknuckles, molotov, knives, and scythe.

History


The Dojo was added on April 12th, 2018, mid-Season 1, as a way for faction members to gain slime, offering an alternative to mining since initially only Juveniles could mine.



After its initial debut, the weapons system and weapon skill statistics were introduced, along with an update to sparring that allowed sparring players wielding the same weapon to "duel" to obtain more slime and increase weapon skill up to mastery level 1. The Dojo also became the place where players could change weapons.

In early season 2, the Dojo took over the meta, with its massive slimegain trumping anything mining could offer. This was because players with more slime gave exponentially more slime to those whom they sparred. This coincided with the discovery of a glitch allowing players in a food area to buy food for someone not in the area. This lead to everyone sitting in the dojo doing nothing 24/7, being sparred by the biggest players and getting fed by the few people in the food court.

When this was patched, the dojo no longer gave slime at all, rendering it useless to spar someone with a different weapon. The dojo was now a minor subzone, used mainly to equip a weapon and potentially sparring up to level one. Rarely does anyone spar higher than that by using someone already at a high rank, and instead opt to use poudrin. This is the state the dojo is in currently.
