* ClockOfPower: The Golden Hourglass is a top-tier trinket that boosts the owner's movement rate and their speed in the CombatantCooldownSystem. It's won from the Old One, a TimeMaster who makes the [=PCs=] randomly skip their turns while he's active.

* CutsceneDrop: When one player character enters a dungeon, the entire PlayerParty is drawn in from TheOverworld. This is commonly {{Exploited|Trope}} for the free movement to regroup the party, making it easier for them to [[LetsSplitUpGang split up]] to handle other tasks.

* BeastMan: One of the enemies that spawn in the Guardian Forest. Per the lore, they use makeshift weapons or those looted from their slayed enemies.

* CheapGoldCoins: The only unit of currency in the game is the Fahrul gold piece, and even the cheapest item in the game is worth one gold piece. Narrowly subverted as the coins are described as "worth their weight in gold", implying a gold standard without specifying what metal the coins themselves are.

* RareCandy: Various candies that, on consumption, increase a single stat (physical attack damage, magical attack damage, physical armor, magical resistance, depending on the candy type) by one point.

* RottenRockAndRoll: For whatever reason, [[SkeletonMusician skeleton bards]] (including [[KingMook the Royal Droll]]) produce electric guitar riffs from their lutes when performing their MagicMusic.

* RottenRockAndRoll: For whatever reason, [[SkeletonMusician skeleton bards]] (including [[KingMook the Royal Droll]]) produce electric guitar sounds from their lutes when performing their MagicMusic.

* DoWellButNotPerfect: Averted. Accomplishing something that awards a chaos reduction while the chaos level is at zero will knock the next increase off the timeline instead, so you never waste a major award.

* MagicMusic: The main combat ability of the Minstral and the Busker. Musical instruments are a class of weapons linked to the Talent ability, often combining attacks with various utility effects.

* LoadBearingBoss: Once the final boss has been defeated in the story game, his evil tower collapses.
* LuckBasedMission: Between the procedurally generated overworld, RandomlyDrops, [[RandomEvent Random Events]], RandomEncounters, and almost every action's outcome being based on a stat-derived dice roll, there's a lot that can happen without the player having a say in it. The central strategy of the whole game is ''luck control'' - the game is always transparent with the player's odds of any given outcome, and odds-improving Focus is a precious resource. Learning what risks to take and what to never rely upon is the key to getting far.

* MagicMusic: The main combat ability of the Minstral and the Busker.

* HealingHerb: Most of game's healing items are herbs. There's a herb that restores hit points, one that restores [[{{Mana}} focus points]], one that heals poison and elemental status effects, one that removes curses, and so on.

* DoubleUnlock: UnlockableContent is unlocked by spending Lore points in the Lore Store, but before you can spend points on an item you have to unlock the item's listing by fulfilling some condition that varies for each item. About half the items are related to milestones in the main story quest (some listings are unlocked when you attempt the quest for the first time, more the first time you beat the DiscOneFinalDungeon, and so on); others are related to milestones of other kinds, either numerical (tributing a statue or dedicating a sactum enough times will unlock a better kind of statue or sanctum) or qualitative (such as an item of sailor clothing that is unlocked after the first time you sink a boat); still others are related to specific encounters (such as the Monk character class, which is unlocked by finding and completing a specific random encounter in the Frostbite Adventure quest that involves rescuing a trapped monk).

* RollAndMove: When a player character begins their turn in TheOverworld, their total hexes of movement are set by their successes on a number of skill rolls, usually against their Speed statistic (Talent when boating; Luck when flying). The number and difficulty of rolls are affected by factors like terrain, weather, and equipped items; and there are a few means of gaining extra movement points.

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Played with. Prices don't increase with progress, the same service costs about the same anywhere in the world. However, that universal price rises over time as the creeping crisis makes those items and services more valuable.

* ExperienceBooster: Some items and sanctums give the affected character a boost to the ExperiencePoints they earn.

* WarpWhistle: Each geographical region contains one Alluring Pool, a mystical location that can teleport you to any other Alluring Pool that you have already visited.
