What Is The Squire (Free) Status For Dark And Darker?
Since Dark and Darker is a free-to-play game, every player who downloads it begins with a free (otherwise known as Squire) status. With the Squire status, you’re free to dive into dungeons, party up with your friends, challenge enemies, and loot gear without having to spend any additional money on the game. However, the free access to the game isn’t without its limitations. knowing these limitations will help you make an informed decision when choosing to upgrade your account or stick to the Squire status. Here are the primary gameplay features available to Squire players:
- Limited Character Slots: Players are limited to just one character slot in the Squire status, and creating a new character requires deleting an already existing character.
- Restricted Access To Higher-Level Dungeons: The Squire status grants you access to the basic dungeons, with high-roller dungeons reserved for players with the Legendary status. However, if you’re just looking to gain a feel for the game and familiarize yourself with the mechanics, these lower-level dungeons offer an equally rewarding experience.
- Limited Trading: With the Squire account, you’re only allowed to buy items from trade shops, limiting your ability to fully engage in the game’s marketplace.
- Default Experience Gain: Successfully extracting from a dungeon rewards you with default (1x) experience, making it longer to unlock cool rewards.

The Legendary Status is the paid upgrade to the Squire account, providing access to additional gameplay options and other features. Here’s what you get when upgrading your Dark and Darker account to the Legendary status:

- Extra Character Slots: Players who acquire the Legendary status can enjoy a total of nine character slots, allowing them to diversify their character builds for unique playstyles. Moreover, the stash is shared between all characters, potentially increasing the value of most looted gear.
- Full Trading Access: Unlike the Squire account, the Legendary status allows you to both buy and sell loot in the marketplace. However, you’ll need to wait 72 hours after activating the Legendary status to fully participate in trading.
