THE VALLEY WIKI

THE GRID

AGI: The Valley is a retro tile-based MMORPG where alien goats invade the Bay Area — a 128×128 world stretching from the Marin Headlands across the Golden Gate to San Francisco, and down the peninsula past Stanford to the Infinite Loop. Every goat spawns at the Mission District crossroads. Progress — XP, gear, backpack and bank vault — persists to your account. Browse the full world on the WORLD MAP.

CONTROLS

• Left click — walk to a tile, attack an NPC, chop a tree, take loot, or open the bank.
• Right click — the classic “Choose option” menu: Attack, Chop down, Take, Bank, Examine, Walk here.
• Camera — arrow keys or A/D rotate, mouse wheel or W/S zoom, middle-drag orbits. The camera circles your goat.
• Enter — focus the chat bar; your words appear over your head, RSC-style.

SKILLS

All skills share the classic experience curve — level 99 takes 13,034,431 XP. Your combat level is ⌊0.25·(Defence + Hits) + 0.325·(Attack + Strength)⌋; a fresh goat is combat level 3.

COMBAT SKILLS

• Attack — accuracy. Trained on the Accurate style.
• Strength — max hit. Trained on the Aggressive style.
• Defence — dodge chance. Trained on the Defensive style.
• Hitpoints — your health pool. Trained passively by dealing damage.

Each point of damage grants 4 XP to the chosen style's skill, plus Hitpoints XP when the engagement ends. Out of combat you regenerate 1 HP every 6 seconds.

GATHERING & ARTISAN SKILLS

• Woodcutting — chop the Bay's trees for logs with an axe. See Woodcutting.
• Firemaking — burn logs with a tinderbox. See Firemaking.

ITEMS

21 items exist in The Grid. Equipment is a loadout (it never takes backpack space); tools and resources live in your 28-slot backpack. Resources stack, tools don't.

RESOURCES (2)

WOODCUTTING

Right-click a tree and Chop down with an axe in your backpack. Every game tick (600ms) rolls for a log — the odds climb with your Woodcutting level and axe power, capped between 15% and 80% per swing. Trees can collapse to a stump after a log and regrow moments later; everyone in the world sees the same stumps.

FIREMAKING

Examine: “A cozy dumpster-fire. Ships next quarter.”

BESTIARY

14 inhabitants roam The Grid, from combat level 3 fodder to the level 69 boss. Level tags in-game are colored relative to your own combat level — pick fights your own size.

LOCATIONS

24 named districts make up The Bay. Danger shows the combat levels that spawn there — “Safe” districts have no hostiles.

LANDMARKS

MECHANICS

COMBAT

• The attacker always lands the first hit; blows alternate every 600ms tick.
• The opening exchange is committed — 3 hits each before anyone can retreat. Fleeing mid-commitment (or disconnecting) still eats the remaining hits.
• One fighter per NPC — nobody can steal your kill mid-fight.
• A fled-from NPC shakes it off and heals to full.

DEATH & ITEM LOSS

• On death your entire backpack scatters at the death tile as ground loot — anyone can take it for 3 minutes before it despawns.
• Your equipment loadout and bank vault are never lost.
• You respawn at full health at the Mission District crossroads.

BANKING

• Stand next to a Silicon Valley Bank booth to open the vault — up to 200 stacks, shared between all branches.
• Deposit 1 / 5 / ALL of a stack; walking away closes the counter.
• The vault survives death. The backpack (28 slots) does not.

CHAT

• Public zone chat, max 80 characters, one message per 1s — it floats over your head like the old days.
