Player Guide

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 Basics

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, such as buying and selling items, defeating monsters, battling other characters, and exploring dungeons.

Stat Sheet

With the stats menu, you'll see the following.

• Level: Your character level. You earn EXP via roleplaying, completing quests and dungeons. The 'soft cap' is Level 200, which typically takes a few weeks or less to reach. The 'hard cap' is 220, which takes a few months or longer to reach, depending.
• Spell Points: Points to spend on spells. Consider that you have a few hundred to work with when designing a build. The potion 'Mana Amnesia' can reset all your spell points and purchases beside the openers, and a 'Rebirth' potion can reset your choices entirely (as long as you're under Level 210 for the latter).
• Stat Points: Points to spend on stats. Always focus on Vitality and Power. You can use a 'Blackout' potion to reset your stat points.

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 base rank of 1 (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.
