Getting Started
After connecting you’ll arrive on Newbie Island where you’ll find starter quests that’ll get you familiar with game play, combat, crafting, and skills. You get to pick two primary skill trees like battle and natural magic, which makes a good character for running around killing stuff. You can pick from seven different skill trees, battle, high sorcery, natural magic, stealth, survival, trade, and vampire.
For a first character I recommend one of your primary skills being trade, it is heavily used in creating cities, crafting and growing crops. Battle pairs well with trade as it lets you go on adventures across the world to gather blueprints for items and take out enemies with world drops which give you item designs outside of adventures.
My advice is to stay on Newbie Island for a few days and repeat the daily quests to earn starting gear. Give yourself time to understand how combat and buildings work. Level your skills and complete all the quest chains.
Once you leave Newbie Island, you’ll search for unclaimed land to turn into your first city. This is when you become the ruler of your empire, and work towards your goals to progress. Type progress to see your current and future progress goals, these will guide you through the creation and growth of your empire. When searching for a place to build your city, try to find mountains, as this is where you’ll mine gold, silver, iron, copper and tin. These are the metals you’ll need to continue the growth of your empire. There are plenty of help files and a handy helpsearch function so you can find help files with keywords. The player base is helpful, and you can ask questions on /newbie. /newbie Hi, I’m new, how do I do such and such?
This should be enough information to get you started, and I hope to see you in game. Check out my characters below and don’t be afraid to bug me in game for help.
