| Offline progression allows the game to progress while closed. If the game is closed while performing an action eg. mining [[Copper Ore]], upon returning the game will calculate how long the player was gone for and provide them with the XP, [[Table_of_Items|Items]], [[Mastery]] XP, and other various things that would have received if the game was left running. When the player opens the game again a popup menu will provide a summary of what was earned while away. The skill that was being used will then continue progressing as normal.
| | '''{{PAGENAME}}''' allows the game to progress while closed as if the player had remained online for the time since the game was closed (up to a maximum of 18 hours). |

| | When the game is closed, a record is taken of which skill was being trained and which action within that skill was being performed. Upon returning, the game will determine how long the player was gone for (up to a maximum of 18 hours) and will simulate the progression as if the game had been left open for that time period, granting the player with any Skill XP, {{Icon|Mastery}} XP, [[Table of Items|Items]], and various other things that would have been received during that time. The player will be presented with a summary of what has occurred while offline, and the action that was being performed will then continue progressing as normal. |

Offline Progression - Welcome Back
Offline Progression allows the game to progress while closed as if the player had remained online for the time since the game was closed (up to a maximum of 18 hours).
When the game is closed, a record is taken of which skill was being trained and which action within that skill was being performed. Upon returning, the game will determine how long the player was gone for (up to a maximum of 18 hours) and will simulate the progression as if the game had been left open for that time period, granting the player with any Skill XP, 
Mastery XP, Items, and various other things that would have been received during that time. The player will be presented with a summary of what has occurred while offline, and the action that was being performed will then continue progressing as normal.
