The first hour
You start on the market square. Captain Aldric gives you the first quest, and from then on the main story leads you by itself: a visit to the healer, to the blacksmith, out through the walls and your first hunt. A mark above a character shows who has a quest for you, and an arrow on screen leads to your goal. The quest journal opens with L.
Where to level
This path shows the area the game recommends for every level, with the main quests of that range. Fight monsters close to your level: the colour of the level above a monster tells you whether it is a good target.
- Lv. 1–3 Rabbit Glade Quests: Arrival, Wounds heal, Steel remembers, Beyond the walls, First hunt, Gear up, The pack
- Lv. 4–5 Wolf Hills Quests: Fangs for the alchemist
- Lv. 6–7 Toad Pond Quests: Tusks in the forest, Meadowsweet
- Lv. 8–9 Old Forest
- Lv 10 Crow Field Quests: The old road

Points after a level up
Every level up gives 5 attribute points. Warriors put them into Strength, Hunters into Dexterity, Mages and Clerics into Intellect, and some Vitality helps everyone. From level 2 you also get a skill point: spend it in the K window. You can plan your build first in the class planner.
Zones
The zone colour tells you whether other players can attack you.
PvP by consent: fights happen only when both players have PvP enabled. Switching takes 10 s.
PvP zone: everyone can attack everyone, the switch is ignored.
When you die
You lose nothing. After a short timer you choose to stand up in the city or where you died, and for a moment after respawning nothing can hurt you. Details in Death.
