Shroud of the Avatar Silver Mining – Chill Grind in Elysium Mines

Hey guys,

I recently livestreamed another hour of Shroud of the Avatar, and this time it was all about a chill and steady silver mining grind in Elysium Mines. No intense battles, no high-pressure quests—just a relaxed session farming resources and talking about the game.

For most of the stream, I focused on mining silver ore, which is actually a pretty calming activity if you’re just looking to unwind. The atmosphere in Elysium Mines fits perfectly with that laid-back vibe, making it a great spot for casual grinding.

During the stream, I also shared my thoughts on whether Shroud of the Avatar is newbie friendly. Interestingly, I don’t think the issue is difficulty. The game isn’t necessarily hard for beginners—it’s more that the experience can feel a bit tiresome. Progress can be slow, and some mechanics aren’t as welcoming or intuitive as you’d expect from a modern MMORPG.

Another topic I touched on was the game’s current population. Let’s be real—it feels like a very low population game, possibly with fewer than 100 active players at a time. That can make the world feel a bit empty, especially for those who enjoy a more social MMO experience.

That said, I still think Shroud of the Avatar is worth checking out. It’s free-to-play, so there’s really nothing stopping you from giving it a shot. You might find something you enjoy, especially if you like slow-paced, sandbox-style gameplay.

If you’re into chill grinding sessions and honest takes on older MMORPGs, this stream is definitely one to watch.
