Swords of Legends Online Review (Chopstick Chick)

This is my review. 5 stars.
It is an amazing game which is ridiculously underrated as a game for silly reasons.
This is what this game has that I think makes it so great... and cooking:
Treasure map hunting. Buy a map, hunt for treasure. Sometimes you can find collectibles.
Finding hidden treasures(collectables) that can be very hard to locate with an in game sound assisting you to locate. (same mechanics but different than treasure maps. each world map has a set number of specific treasures hidden each being a collectible)
Tons of secret achievements(there are guides don't worry)
Regular achievements(like climbing on the roof. there's a whole section for just climbing on things)
Reoccuring mini game events that are brightly colored and adorable. I am very bad at these. Help me.
Zero pay to win. ☆☆☆☆☆
Sexy cosmetics to buy. You can make any character a fox ;)
Variety of mounts, I have a carriage, and wings, and there's this bunny....
Beautiful graphics, no… gorgeous graphics.
Brilliant ability mechanics that require learning your character
Dungeons/raids/bosses have tons of mechanics in order to beat (don't stand in stuff... unless it's the white one... or the blue one with the arrows.. or .. there's a lot)
Like to do every solo? lol. They have little companions that can assist you later on in game so you can solo some low level dungeons. Not sure how effective this is for higher levels but I use them to grind lower level dungeons solo for silk for fishing clothes.
PvP is still alive through player dedication which is a big testament to how good and fun it is.
PvP events are varied and fun with rewards such as titles and outfits, even a mount for one event(I want this).
There's an in game event that's pvp where your alliance can participate by claiming a crashed comet, when event is live, and capturing 3 points to win it while others might be trying to kill you. this spits out fragments every 3 hours for you to grab and at the weekly reset grants you socketing material to share with alliance. when you claim a comet your alliance name is broadcast across everyone's screen. I like this.

Plenty of pve/pvp Alliances willing to help out new players.
In game fishing with weekly leaderboard for tournament.
in fact tons of leaderboards so you can pick what you like and be the best at that(fishing, cards, achievements, dungeon completion speeds, heartstrings, alliance activity, treasure maps)
Cooking which I was not a fan of
A leveling system that levels you as you progress instead of by grinding useless trash mobs and pointless quests for hours. It gives you tutorial quests that are actually effective at taking you through the game
actually good storyline(if you don't like it then you're silly)
a tv show if you want more SoL (no joke it corresponds with in game characters in the card game)
Game of Eternity: an in game card game that is both my favorite and a daily/weekly giving rewards. you can level up your cards to have extra abilities by crafting them from fragments in game or receiving as rewards. I have one that swaps out one of your cards into my hand in exchange >:)
You can gift shop items to friends, this is useful for your poor friends who wear ugly clothes.
there is a beautiful friendship mechanic in game that allows you to learn bonus abilities (extra dmg or whatever) as your friendship increases, eventually allowing a hand tailored title above your heads with sworn friendships.
There's a chat channel just for friends so you can shout them all at once. or make a chat group for just the ones you want to yell at.
There's a faction channel so you can rally the troops for pvp without alerting Mysticism mwahahahaha.
A mentor/apprentice mechanic that grants rewards upon playing together and accomplishing specific objectives. Different than friendship by supplying rewards instead of Stat bonuses.
Alliances(guilds) can have pacts or feuds with other Alliances
There's a bounty system I don't understand
There's a nemesis system. I only have one... I'd like more.
There are 3 factions you choose from, Qin(neutral), Mysticism(red), Heaven's Children(blue). you first are Qin, then you get to pick one of the other two to be able to pvp, or you decline and stay neutral and no one will come kill you.
You can duel people.
There is PvE gear and PvP gear and you can have different sets of gear set up for easily switching.
In game screenshot photo mode for taking those fantastic pics you see in screenshot section on steam.
Housing: you get a floating island that you can fill with your crap
Animals you can find in the wild and take home to your residence such as chickens. We all need more chickens. (also foxes, a tanuki looking raccoon, wolves, cats, turtles)
There is fishing gear to craft.
Defeating bosses sometimes drops little models of them to put in your floating island house.
There is an in-game guide for every boss and every dungeon and every raid so you don't have to feel clueless.
Your residence is one of a bunch of floating islands per residence map, so you can have neighbors! but on their own floating island over there
There are temporary hot springs you can buy, place on ground and you and your friends can interact with so it looks like you're sitting in it. This was surprisingly nice for screenshots and down time.
There is resource gathering. Plant or mineral just one skill to level up.
You have a pet that follows you that has a few obtainable skins, the good ones you build from collecting a set number of fragments of it.
There is a season pass. This offers some useful rewards, mostly some unique cosmetics and pet. There is a free version and paid. Cosmetics are in paid.
Plenty of repeatable quests that you unlock and can do at your leisure called Biographies where often enough you're doing something weird or reliving someone's memory.
Plenty of dailies and weeklies including special bosses that pop up in the world that require a bunch of people.
3.0 has no set date and devs are silent. This is frustrating since China is apparently at 5.0.
I think that sums it up.
This is my review. I waited until over a 1000 hours before sharing because you can't play an mmorpg after 2 hours and say if it's good that's just silly.
Welcome to the Revival, play this game.
I'm on Eu2 Huaixiu.
Faction: Heavens Children.
Name: Chouchou
If you are in Mysticism... come find me.
