The purpose of this guide is to consolidate 'must know' information into one place. Reading this isn't necessary when first making a character, but is recommended.
If you're not already aware, there's a game launcher that we recommend using.
The guide might occasionally reference a slash (/) command, which can be viewed on this page or seen in-game via the blue crystal chat tab.
Character Creation
Spawnpoint
When making a character, you'll have a choice of starting locations and races to choose from. The location doesn't matter much as you can always change it using the /spawnpoint command.
Description
You'll see a 'description' input. You can also change this in-game via the options menu (cog icon on the far right, 'Change Description). A character description is a basic HTML page, which you can use to include an image of your character, and/or a text description. See this character profile guide for some commonly used tags and templates.
Tutorial NPC
After creating your character, you'll spawn directly next to a Tutorial NPC. Interact with it with lift-click or X. Complete the tutorial quests to learn the basic controls and interactions.
Guild
A guild is a great way for players to organize their characters. If you're looking to join one, the guilds sub-forum might be useful, or just ask around in-character.
High ranking members of a guild can also put out public and private announcements; the latter is sent to all members, and pings them, and the former is server-wide. This is great if you're hosting an event, such as a tournament, festival, wedding, or anything else you might want to get the word out on.
Faction
A faction is a settlement wide organization, and joining one unlocks various features. When a part of a faction, you'll gain influence whenever roleplaying nearby the associated settlements (you can use /influence to see your amount). You can still be a member of other guilds, but only one faction.
Speak to a recruiter NPC to join a faction as a rank 5 citizen. Each rank up is +50% influence gain. High ranking members of that faction can promote you.
Influence can be spent on upgradeable faction gear and also via the token/PvE store. It's an attractive perk to have, so do consider officially aligning with a settlement, whether it's as a knight, priest, researcher, or whatever other role suits your character, even if it's just someone that lives there! This also generally makes roleplaying easier as a new player since it provides a path to follow.
