Multiverse Loot Hunter is an idle loot RPG that left Early Access on 15 August 2025 with 216 Steam achievements and an 85 percent positive score from its English reviews. You travel a chain of numbered planes that opens with World 1 Three Kingdoms and World 2 Wuxia, recruit historical and legendary figures such as Lu Bu, Hua Tuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu, then park spare heroes in a company or a zoo so they keep earning while the game runs on its own.
Starting Multiverse Loot Hunter can feel overwhelming. This guide tells you exactly what to focus on during your first hours so you don't waste time on things that don't matter yet. For the full progression path, see our walkthrough.
What Kind of Game Is This?
Multiverse Loot Hunter is a rpg game built around Plane hopping worlds and Job advancement books. The core loop involves mastering these systems to progress through increasingly challenging content.
What to expect: Time investment in learning mechanics, experimentation, and gradual mastery. The game rewards patience and knowledge.
Choosing Your First Build
| Build | Beginner Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Excellent for beginners | Balanced approach |
| Archer | Excellent for beginners | Balanced approach |
| Sorcerer | Excellent for beginners | Balanced approach |
| Medic | Excellent for beginners | Balanced approach |
| Summoner | Excellent for beginners | Balanced approach |
Our recommendation: Start with Archer. It offers the most forgiving experience while teaching core mechanics.
Avoid Summoner as your first pick. It requires deep knowledge of game systems to use effectively. Once you're ready, check our classes guide for all options.
First Session Step-by-Step
Step 1: Learn Plane hopping worlds
Progression runs through numbered worlds starting at World 1 Three Kingdoms, then World 2 Wuxia, then World 4 Crusades, on past World 9. Each plane raises the gear tier, adds recruitable characters and gates a system, which is why players are told to push to World 4 before worrying about beasts.
This is the foundation. Spend your first 15-30 minutes getting comfortable with how Plane hopping worlds works before worrying about anything else. Our combat guide breaks this down further.
Step 2: Head to World 1 Three Kingdoms
The opening plane, populated by Three Kingdoms figures such as Lu Bu and Hua Tuo, where you learn recruiting and the basic job wheel.
Clear the main content here before moving on. Everything teaches fundamentals you'll need later. See our maps guide for all locations.
Step 3: Get Your First Upgrade
Look for Wudang Set: it's the most accessible early upgrade. A World 2 set that gives roughly 15 percent cooldown reduction at two pieces and 18 percent at four pieces.
Step 4: Understand Job advancement books
A job book unlocks a class once, after which swapping between unlocked jobs is free. The starting branches are Warrior, Archer, Sorcerer, Medic and Summoner, with later options such as Ranger, Saint and Superpower arriving around World 5 to World 8.
This is the system most new players overlook. Invest time here early. It pays off throughout the entire game.
Step 5: Push to World 2 Wuxia
The martial arts plane and the source of the Wudang set, the first meaningful cooldown reduction package in the game.
Essential Mechanics Explained
Plane hopping worlds
Progression runs through numbered worlds starting at World 1 Three Kingdoms, then World 2 Wuxia, then World 4 Crusades, on past World 9. Each plane raises the gear tier, adds recruitable characters and gates a system, which is why players are told to push to World 4 before worrying about beasts.
Job advancement books
A job book unlocks a class once, after which swapping between unlocked jobs is free. The starting branches are Warrior, Archer, Sorcerer, Medic and Summoner, with later options such as Ranger, Saint and Superpower arriving around World 5 to World 8.
Adjutant companions
Every hero can carry an adjutant, and that adjutant needs its own gear rather than inheriting yours. The community consensus is that adjutants pay off hardest past level 100, so treat them as a second equipment project instead of a free stat boost.
Spirit beast hunting
Beasts are captured through the Hunting Lodge, which unlocks in World 4. They grant additive stats and carry skill slots, and in the early game the skills matter more than the flat stat lines.
Company and zoo income
Idle income comes from assigning characters to jobs. A CEO sits above the Forge, Research, Builder, Commerce, Pharmacy, Study, History and Strategy divisions, work efficiency stacks down that hierarchy, and captured beasts can be placed in a zoo that charges admission.
Common Beginner Mistakes
1. Ignoring cooldown reduction and stacking attack instead, which leaves you standing around waiting for skills to come back
2. Building a party of three support characters before you have the Energy income to use them all
3. Rushing world progression and never opening the Hunting Lodge in World 4, so your roster runs with no beast bonuses at all
4. Leaving company positions empty or filling them at random instead of matching characters to the Forge, Research and Commerce icons they carry
5. Refining gear at the Foundry before you have a piece worth keeping, which burns currency on items you replace two worlds later
First 5 Hours Checklist
- Understand Plane hopping worlds and Job advancement books
- Choose Archer as starting build
- Clear World 1 Three Kingdoms main content
- Acquire Wudang Set or equivalent upgrade
- Reach World 2 Wuxia
- Clear Major Battle 1 early and keep running it until the plus one Energy per turn offhand drops, because it changes how often every magic character can act.
- Aim for 20 to 30 percent cooldown reduction from stone equipment and talents before chasing raw attack, since skill uptime is what actually scales damage here.
Tips for New Players
- Clear Major Battle 1 early and keep running it until the plus one Energy per turn offhand drops, because it changes how often every magic character can act.
- Aim for 20 to 30 percent cooldown reduction from stone equipment and talents before chasing raw attack, since skill uptime is what actually scales damage here.
- Take the Wudang four piece in World 2 for its 18 percent cooldown reduction and swap to the Allied set once World 7 is open.
- Do not run three healers at once in the early game, because without deep cooldown reduction you cannot spam their skills often enough to justify the slots.
- Push to World 4 Crusades to unlock the Hunting Lodge, then prioritise beast skills over beast stat lines while your gear is still low tier.
- Job books cost a one time payment per class, so unlocking a second job early is cheap insurance and lets you swap freely afterwards.
- Skill passives keep working even when the skill is unequipped, but only while your current job matches the mastery requirement, so check that before rebuilding.
- Give Tokugawa Ieyasu the CEO seat because his Govern talent raises management skill, and efficiency stacks downward onto every division below him.
- Match characters to divisions by their icons, for example Yan Chixia carries four forge icons and belongs in the Forge rather than Commerce.
- Treat adjutants as a second gear project rather than a free bonus, because their contribution only becomes large past level 100.
