Otera on your phone

Play on your phone. Nothing to download.

The same Otera client, in your phone's browser: the same world, the same account and the same characters. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, full screen.

Your backpack, one tap away

It opens as a large sheet: tap an item to use it and drag it to equip it.

The map and its travel

Search for a respawn, a city or an NPC and tap it to travel. The buttons are big, made for your finger.

Controls made for your thumb.

  • A joystick that walks straight and only steps diagonally around what blocks your way, and an Attack button that targets the nearest monster.
  • Tapping the screen uses what you touch: you climb stairs, open doors and corpses, and on a hole it uses your rope or shovel.
  • Thirteen buttons for your spells, runes and potions. Hold one down to change it.
  • Health and mana always in sight; the map, chat and backpack in the top bar. The top-left button hides the controls.
  • Three fingers zoom the map in or out. Tapping a text field opens the keyboard.
  • Start on your phone and carry on on your PC: it is the same character.

New maps

The real map. And what nobody had seen.

The whole 8.6 map with its quests, plus zones built for Otera: cities, hunts and bosses with their own art, monsters and loot.

Shirasagi: a street in the samurai city with cherry blossoms, blue-roofed houses and ashigaru with their spears

Shirasagi

A samurai castle town in the northeastern sea. Ashigaru, kyudoka and samurai all the way up to the Shogun's tower.

Minas Morgul: Nazgul in the throne hall of the citadel, under the green light of the endless night

Minas Morgul

An island in endless night. Nazgul on every ring of the citadel and, in its nest, the Witch-king of Angmar.

The Black Dragon lair: a black dragon among rivers of lava in the Fury Gate dungeon

Black Dragon Lair

Behind the Fury Gate of Edron, a volcanic cavern with the Black Dragons: stronger than a demon.

And also
The eastern landsKrailos, Kilmaresh, Feyrist, Oskayaat and Marapur
Gray Beach, Oramond and Roshamuulwith their monsters

Dust IIa PvP pit with no skulls and no losses

The rules

No exhaust. No level required.

The 8.6 mechanics, without the brakes that add nothing. What you get, you use; what you do happens when you ask for it.

NO EXHAUST

Free stairs

Going up or down a floor does not leave you pacified: your attack, spells and runes go off at once.

NO EXHAUST

Separate potions

A potion does not share exhaust with exura, utani hur or rune making, and using one does not cost you your attack.

NO LEVEL

Weapons and equipment

No weapon, armor, shield, ring or amulet asks for a level. If you get it, you wear it.

NO LEVEL

Runes and spells

Runes ask only for magic level; spells, for magic level and vocation. Never for your character level.

8.6

Classic combat

Half damage between players, a 60-second PZ lock, a 15-minute white skull, and dying costs items.

EXP

A curve without walls

15x up to level 8, then a curve that goes down from 10x to 4x at level 200, with no steps.

Vocations

Four vocations. None to spare.

Each vocation has a job in the party and its own tweak over 8.6. These are four real game sessions in the Otera client.

An elite knight opens with exori gran for a party of all four vocations against hydras in the Ramoa jungle; the sorcerer fires SD, the paladin exori con and the druid heals

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Elite Knight · Front line

The one who holds the hunt.

Blocks, gathers the monsters and hits in an area. In Otera the knight has something of its own against the mages.

  • +15% melee damage and +15% armor over 8.6.
  • Exura scales with level: 70 to 107 health at level 100.
  • Attacks every 1.8 seconds, like the paladin.

exori granexori masexura

A royal paladin hunts samurai in Shirasagi with exori con and heavy magic missile, among cherry trees and blue-roofed houses

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Royal Paladin · Ranged

Bolts, runes and patience.

Hits from afar and mixes ammunition with runes. The HMM is the everyday rune again.

  • The HMM deals more damage per mana than exori con, and explodes like in 7.4.
  • A quiver in the shield hand holds backup ammunition.
  • Conjured power bolts: 50 for 350 mana.

exori conadori granexevo con vis

A master sorcerer, with her staff and spellbook, fires a sudden death at a rival knight in a guild fight by the Thais bridge

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Master Sorcerer · Pure damage

The SD is the SD again.

7.x-style formulas: level and magic level weigh together, and the balance between runes holds at any level.

  • Sudden death hits three times as hard as a GFB, at level 20 or at level 200.
  • The SD hit is the black ball from 7.x.
  • Open PvP: damage between players is halved, like in 8.6.

adori vita visexevo gran mas visutamo vita

An elder druid casts poison storm on frost dragons on the glacier while a knight blocks them

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Elder Druid · Support and control

The party lives because there is a druid.

Health potions stop at the health potion: strong healing comes from runes and spells.

  • Poison Storm: 70% of a UE for 70% of its mana.
  • UH and IH scale with level and magic level.
  • Party: +30% with two players, +60% with three and +100% from four.

exura sioexevo gran mas poxadura vita

Runes

A master sorcerer makes sudden deaths in the AFK training hall, next to other players training against their dummies

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Rune making is still a craft.

Runes are made by hand and sold between players. NPCs sell them as a backup, but never buy them back.

2

0
soul spent in AFK training while you have breath

Rune spells ask for magic level, vocation, mana and soul, as always. Your backpack fills up without dropping anything on the floor.

Travel from the map

Less travel time. More adventure.

Open the map, pick a respawn or a city and right-click. Three seconds of spiral and you are at the entrance. Free, on Free accounts too.

Client map over the Ramoa hydra island: the respawn card and the right-click menu with Travel to Hydra

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Search, look and choose.

Each respawn shows its creatures and floor. The search box finds cities, monsters, shops and raids.

YOUR TRIP · REAL CLIENT

If you move or take damage during the spiral, the trip is cancelled. There is a 3-minute wait between trips.

Client map with a golden circle around the hydra hunt and its card: +50% experience, level range and time left

Otera client screenshot · test environment

Gold marks the boost.

Every hour, one respawn per level range gives +50% experience. The golden circle surrounds the whole hunt and the flame in the search box lists them.

+50% EXP

Client map with a red glow around a hydra: the hunt is occupied and travel is still available

Otera client screenshot · test environment

You know if someone is there.

The red glow means another player is hunting there, without saying who. It is information: you can still travel.

Quests

All your quests. One window.

Every quest with its reward, its place and its missions. The ones you start are tracked on their own in the side panel, and the map shows where your next step is.

Client quest window with The Inquisition open: reward, completed missions, the current mission and the Following, Show on map and Travel nearby buttons. On the left, the quest tracker

Crown Treasury1,000 gold per quest point, gems to socket and level rewards from 20 to 200.

Addons

Every material, counted for you.

The addon window lists the 36 addons you get by collecting materials: who gives them, what they ask for and how much you have.

Client addon window with the first Assassin addon: each material with what was handed in, what is in the backpack and in the depot. On the left, the addon tracker with Assassin and Warrior

Otera client screenshot · test environment

  • It counts what you carry and what you keep in the depot, plus what you already handed to the NPC.
  • Follow the ones you want: they stay in the side panel and update on their own as you loot.
  • No material asks for more than about 300 kills of the best monster that drops it.
  • In the loot message, materials carry the (addon) tag.

AFK training

The client's AFK Training panel open in the training hall: available spells, rotation, settings and the remaining breath in the skills window

Otera client screenshot · test environment

The hunt ends. The training goes on.

Hunting fills your breath. With breath, AFK training raises skills and magic level at twice the world rate, on its own and without hidden trainers.

What is worth knowing.

Do I need Premium to play everything?

No. Free includes all content: map travel, boats, promotions, spells, houses, market and automatic looting. Premium adds +10% experience, a higher loot chance, loot containers by category and a larger breath reserve.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes, in the browser: open jugar.oteraot.com in Safari or Chrome and log in with your usual account. To play full screen, add it to your home screen. It is the same server and the same character as on your PC.

Can I track several quests at once?

Yes. The quests you start are tracked automatically, up to five, in the side panel. From the quest window you can follow others, see them on the map or travel nearby.

Does the addon tracker check my depot?

Yes. It counts what you carry, your depot boxes and inbox, and what you already handed to the NPC.

Can I train AFK without a limit?

No. Training uses breath, and breath is earned by hunting. Premium enlarges the reserve but does not fill it faster.

Is voice chat mandatory?

No. It comes with the client and turns off with one click. You can mute yourself or mute another player.
