Beginner's Guide

**What is Onyx?**
Onyx is one of the best community based servers. Onyx has the most stable economy up and running! If you miss the old days of 2012, you can re-live those days by playing with us.

## **Getting Started**

To begin playing on the server you first need to download our client. You can do so by clicking here. Upon loading into the server you'll be prompted to the login screen in which you can choose any username/password.

**Note: Username/passwords are not linked to the forums.**

## **I'm Logged In!**

Upon loging in for the first time you will be able to create and customize your character. After you've chosen your character, and began the introduction cutscene, you'll be at the **Grand Exchange**. ​Once you finished talking with your financial advisor (aka Onyx) you will receive your starter items:

* 20k cash

* Iron Armour

* Iron Scimitar

* Anti-dragon shield

* Amulet of power

* Explorer's ring 1

* some leather equipment

* Ring of kinship

* 1000 Trout
* A bow

* Staff of Air

* Team cape

And lastly some basic skiling items including a guide book. This will be enough to get you going and it'll be enough money to also buy some new weapons and armour from the shops.

## **Important NPCs**

**Onyx** is probably the most important NPC. He can refer you to voting, donating and more.

**Mandrith** can be located inside of Edgeville's bank. He will take any artifacts you might have gotten from the Dungeon in exchange for cash.

**Mr.Ex** provides players with the ability to wear 1 out of the 26 available for a price.

## **The Grand Exchange**

The Grand Exchange is a system that allows players to trade items with each other through a global market.

Regular members can use 5 of the 6 Grand Exchange slots while Donators+ can use the full 6 slots.
