Here is a very basic guide for beginners, we recommend you to take a look if you feel lost at the beginning of the game. If you feel you know everything here but still need some tips, you can move to the advanced tips for more.

## What should I do?

This is probably the first question you want to ask after entering the game. The goal of playing Chimeraland varies by players. If you really need an answer, you are recommended to follow the main quests in Chimeraland Notes. These quests can help you to get familiar with most of the game mechanics.

You can then freely choose to level up your characters, train your attendants and pets, upgrade your home, explore the world, complete achievements, and so on.

### Common early and mid-game goals

* Form multiplayer teams, challenge totems, obtain equipment and crafting materials.
* Form teams to kill or capture grand beasts.
* Capture strange beasts, and obtain strange beast eggs and temporary strange beasts for your pet to devour.
* Explore the four continents and the sky. Light up all the Scenic Spots.
* Gather materials to level up the home and craft high-grade furniture to increase Home Construction Points.
* Prepare the necessary food and coins to recruit uncommon attending pets.
* Obtain materials from mining, cutting wood, gathering, processing, upgrade life skills, and earn currency by selling materials in the Auction House.
* Craft a large number of experience to obtain Refiner EXP, and increase Refiner levels to unlock the ability to produce high-grade equipment.
* Grow plants and cook dishes to unlock World Info achievements.

## Create your character

In Chimeraland, you can be whoever you want to be from total of 18 races. To be honest, there is almost no difference in the physical function among these races. Races look like sea animals can drown in the water, and those with wings are not able to fly only by themselves (you need mounts or other items to fly to the sky). Therefore, you can just choose base on your preference on appearance.

There are 10 different types of 'size' within one race, which are differentiated by age and gender. After making a decision about all these above, you can begin to design more details of your appearance.

You can save your appearance data as a code, which can be put in next time you need it. Remember that this code has to be used to an avatar that is exactly the same race and size, so you need to also remember your choice if you need this appearance data code.

Tips: Characters at a younger age can have a smaller size in their appearances, which means...the target is smaller and more difficult to be aimed at during PvP battles.

## Pick your birthplace

You can freely choose from 3 continents (East-mount, West-mount, South-mount) as your birthplace (the place you landed at the beginning!). The 3 continents are not different from each other essentially, so you can follow the brief introduction or follow your heart.

Just one thing - people can't easily enter other continents, I guess people are not good at dealing with trans-continent relations. If you do not enter other continents through certain procedures, you will have a high possibility to come across troubles. Therefore, I would suggest you and your friends pick the same continent, which will make it easier if you want to do some teamwork.

Tips: There are several places that can not be chosen as your birthplace. I will not suggest you land in Snow Mountain and dessert (nearby places included), either. As a new traveler, you may not able to protect yourself in these extreme circumstances - and this will make your journey really difficult from the beginning.

## Build up your home

You will learn how to build your home step by step when following the main mission lists. If you want to build your home at some awesome places, you can wander around the map before you placing the base of your house. However, I would say you don't need to be too careful about this because you can move your home anytime you want later.

About the recommending spots for building a home, well, to each his/her/it own. Some of my friends have their homes as a treehouse, some of them would like to find a small dungeon and cover the entrance. I personally prefer to have a house in the sky - in some floating mountains in South-mount, for example!

Tips: If you want to move your house, you can use the function in the main menu -> home -> rebuild.

## Choice of weapons

During the time that your Armor is not hard enough, I recommend you to use (mid-)ranged weapons to better evade damage from enemies.

If you can make good use of dodging and get familiar with weapon skills, you will have a higher DPS with Melee weapons.

Many weapons have different effects even in regular attacks when you are jumping, so be sure to take a good look at the weapon skills!

## Obtain equipment

After killing the elite monsters in the Totem Challenge, you will obtain Treasure Chests that provide you with plenty of equipment. By entering the Totem Challenges time and again, you can obtain equipment quickly.

A secret to share here: after you offering Trial Stone to advanced Totem and challenge it 10 times, you will meet enemies (in the Boss-level) - Immortal! I recommend a team for 10 people to challenge it, everyone provides one Trial Stones, or a team for 15 people to challenge 3\*10 times (2 Trial Stones per each).

## Choice of attendants

Attendants equipped with ranged weapons can offer the highest damage in the current version of the game.

Recommended Attendant for Early-Mid Game: Vulorman. Players can purchase the Drum Leg Couch from the Household Shop and place it in their Home to attract Vulorman. You need to have 10 Fried Tenderloins and 10,000 Molten Stones to recruit Vulorman.

You can obtain Molten Stones through Village Quests, Village Robbery Incidents, and Totems.

Besides, you can obtain 'Mermaid' from fishing at the Mermaid area in the sea. After you raise it, you will have a high possibility to obtain a rare and powerful attendant! About the way of fishing above the sea where is no land to stand on...well, you can build a home there!

## Explore the map

You need to get used to summon your mounts because they can speed up your trip. There is a whistle icon on the upper right corner in the main interface for you to summon your pets and attendants quickly. If you long-press this icon, you can also choose to summon only the pet or only the attendant.

The fastest pet as your mount for land use is Leoparbeak. It can evolve to a rare noble pet - Minkrat in the future.

If you see some super tall towers, you should approach them and 'light them up'! That's what we call the Central Pillar - by activating them, you can see the nearby map and use it to teleport. While exploring Chimeraland, there's a chance you may accidentally get stuck. When that happens, you can use Unstuck to free yourself. This function will teleport you to the nearest Central Pillar.

## Concepts that may cause confusion

### STA (stamina)

You will have STA cost when you run, jump, dodge, climb, use some weapon skills or do some other special actions.

Upgrade your Life Skills level, and then you can choose to increase your STA limit.

High STA can make your character more flexible and also more compatible in battle.

### Energy

Gathering and Activating Totem Trials will cost your energy. Low/insufficient energy will make you unable to gather or activate Totem Trials. But your energy will slowly recover with time, and usually, you will become 'energetic' again on the second day!

### END (Endurance)

When you have Endurance, you will have 'stun immunity' that can grant immunity to stun effects. The Endurance will decrease when gets attacked, and when it falls to 0, the character will get influenced by stun effects and thus be in danger.

### Breath

When a player swims underwater, Breath will continuously be consumed. When Breath is expended, every second 1% of Maximum HP will be consumed. But it is recoverable upon surfacing.

## Make good use of the Guide and mission lists

In an early stage of your journey in Chimeraland, I suggest you follow the main mission lists and get hang of every function in the system.

You will learn how to gather materials, to build a camp, to cook, to obtain your mounts, as well as how to build your home, to know the trick of battle through 'Game Pod' and to capture your pets.

After all these missions, you've got a home, a horse, some weapons - Congratulations! The world is open to you and waiting for you to discover more!

Tips: If you have any questions, you can refer to the main menu > guide, and get to know the system better at any time.
