Tutorial

Immortal Diaries has a fairly **lengthy** tutorial. It is effective and useful for first timers, but for returning players... there is no way to skip it and it requires you to invest a couple hours into the game before you can get into free play. Sorry. To unlock all areas of the game and enter into full free play you must complete all the Stories through 4-2 and Level up to Noble peerage.

**How the Tutorial Works**

When you start, you will be locked into performing the required tasks for the first few Stories and won't have access to do **anything** - seriously... nothing else. Once you get past Story 1-5... the tutorial eases up on the control a bit, and from that point onward, every Story or two will unlock a new area of gameplay, usually after going through a short walk-through of the new area. In between those walk-throughs you will have fairly free ability to interact with any of the areas of the game that are available at that time.

**Tutorial Sequence**

* The introduction guides you through the start of the story and then lets you pick your character name. Choose wisely!
* As part of Story 1-1 you learn about using the Wardrobe
* With Story 1-4 you learn about Mr. Right
* After Story 1-5 you walk through the promotion process as you level up from Human to Turned.

At this point you have a certain amount of free play although the available areas of the game are very limited and the game will require you to Claim Queen's Path tasks and complete small walk throughs at certain trigger points. Completing each new walk through will unlock additional areas.

*Available areas at this point are: Queens Path, Bag, Dress Up, Mr. Right (Dates and Shopping not available), Fashion Show, Rose Bank, Item Store, Fashion Mall, Followers, Rose Mall, Mail and Notices*

Visiting the Rose Mall or Fashion Show will trigger a walk through of those areas.

* After completing Story 1-6 you learn about the Study area.

*Now Available: Study*

* Story 1-8 triggers a Followers walk through where you level Mary up to level 11.
* Story 1-9 teaches doing Interrogations in the Black Market

End of Tutorial

TIPS for using Mischief in a friendly way:
* Make arrangements with a friend do just do Mischief on each other
* Look for a player named Mischief Me. If one exists, it is safe to mischief them as much as you want.
* Under the Stranger tab, look for a player that is Human, and NOT in an Alliance, with under 1000 Influence. Guaranteed that is a non-active player
* If you are logged in with Google, switch to Facebook and create another account on the same server - name that new account 'Mischief Me' and use that account for all your Mischief

IF another player contacts you and asks you not to Mischief them - STOP.
If another player is doing Mischief to you. Ignore it the first time/day. If they do it again another day, contact them and ask them to stop. Join an Alliance - that may discourage them or make it obvious you are not an inactive account. Call them out on the World Chat. Contact the leader of their Alliance. And if all else fails, Go to Support and Report the player as being abusive.

Completing all steps of the Tutorial and unlocking all areas of the game (Except Witchcraft) seems to take roughly 3 hours of gameplay, or so. There are ways to speed that up by using diamonds or cash purchase to level up to VIP 1 (because this gives access to more followers which enables competing more EXP rewarding tasks), using diamonds to purchase additional Dispatch Teams (because you have to start 2 Dispatch tasks so you either have to wait an hour for the first to finish or else buy a 2nd team.)
