<figure><img src="https://1680475539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqVeknN2F9CpaKkqZMgAd%2Fuploads%2FKsja2U43PyZeZj4fzeAi%2Fwiki-text3.png?alt=media&amp;token=67aeced1-1fcb-4e9d-ae11-e3c61a925bc3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Music Box** is more than just a decorative attraction—it’s a system designed to reward players who spend time in the heart of the community. Located at the center of the main town, the Music Box encourages adventurers to gather, rest, and enjoy the atmosphere while still earning progression rewards. Even while AFK, players can accumulate points that contribute to their journey.

### How It Works

1. **Stay in Town** – The Music Box is positioned in the central plaza of the main town, drawing players together.
2. **AFK Point Generation** – Characters earn points passively while near the Music Box, even when idle.
3. **Blueprint Rewards** – Points can be exchanged for **Music Box Blueprints**, a special currency tied to this system.
4. **Redeem for Items** – Blueprints can be spent on supplies and gear‑related items that support adventuring.

### Purpose

* **Community Attraction** – Keeps the main town lively and populated.
* **AFK Incentive** – Provides meaningful rewards for players who remain in town while away.
* **Progression Support** – Supplies and gear blueprints help sustain adventurers in PvE and PvP content.
* **Unique Identity** – Establishes the main town as more than a hub—it becomes a place of reward and gathering.

### Benefits

* **Passive Progression** – Earn rewards without active grinding.
* **Town Engagement** – Encourages players to stay connected to the community hub.
* **Adventure Support** – Provides practical items and blueprints to strengthen gameplay.
* **Balanced Design** – Rewards AFK presence without overshadowing active play.
