Getting Started

Welcome to Emil Chronicle Online!

This guide will help you start your journey in Acronia.

## Getting to Acronia

* After logging in, you will be able to make your character. You will be able to customize your character's face, hair type, and hair color. But the most important thing is to decide on your character's race. *Please read the Races page to help you understand more about the three races and their advantages and disadvantages.*
* After you finished, you will spawn above the clouds (or above a crater if you're Dominion). In front of you is Tita. Talk to her.
* You will teleport to a control room afterwards. Go down the stairs on the left and right side of the map and go through the portal.
* You will arrive at a burning room with Tita. Go towards the flame, Tita will turn you into a Salamander Marionette to withstand the heat.
* On the other side of the flame you will find that there are DEMs blocking the portal. You may choose to fight them. Or you can just go through them and enter the portal.
* You will arrive at a wasteland. Talk to Tita again to go to Acronia.

## Getting to Uptown

* After talking to Tita, depending on your race you will be teleported to a room. If you are playing as an Emil, you will only need to exit the house. As a Titania or Dominion, you have to talk to the NPC in the room.
* Talk to Emil, he will offer to give you a tutorial. If you prefer to learn as you go, you may skip this tutorial and say you're ready for adventure. There are no consequences for this action.
* You will be teleported to Masha's Airship. Talk to Masha
* Go inside her house and talk to her pink squirrel. It will give you a Failure Compound
* Get out of the house and talk again to Masha, she will give you some Biscuits and a Fruit Juice.
* You arrived at your destination! Talk to Emil and the Pink Vending Machine on the center of the map.
* Talk to all the NPCs in the map, a pink arrow will appear below your character to make sure you do not miss any of them.
* Talk again to Emil after talking to all the NPCs, he will give you a gift box. Inside is a Forged Acropolis Pass and an equipment set.
* Afterwards, go north and enter the portal to Uptown.
* Congratulations! You have arrived at Uptown.

## What Now?

Now that you have arrived at Uptown you can start your journey. There are a few things we recommend you to do first at Uptown.

You may talk to the four NPCs around you for some information.

*Note: You can hover your cursor on top of the red dots on the map to know the NPC's names. This will be very helpful when looking for certain NPCs.*

**Talk to Elina**

Elina is the pink haired girl in front of the Black Church. A black building on the western side of Uptown.

She will offer you four Marionettes, you may only select one per account. The choices are:

**Claim ECONW Ticket**

ECONW Ticket can be obtained daily from Jester in front of the Guild Palace at Uptown.

You can trade your ECONW tickets for prizes that will help your adventure.

**Get a Job**

*Main page: Jobs*

Initially, your job will be Novice with no notable attribute and skills. You can change your job to suit your playstyle better.

There are no restrictions on your jobs based on your selected race.

You can change your job whenever you are ready. You can also stay as a Novice.

* To change your job, go to the Guild Palace, the big white building on the northern part of Uptown and enter a room inside.
* If you want to be a Vates, go to the White Church on the eastern part of Uptown.
* If you want to be a Warlock, go to the Black Church on the western part of Uptown.

**Getting to Downtown**

Downtown has a lot of shops suitable for beginners, and due to the hard-to-see portals some people struggle trying to find it.

* To get to downtown, exit Uptown from any directions.
* **Immediately** turn left or right until you find two vending machines.
* Afterwards turn your camera to the right or left and you will be able to see stairs down with a portal leading to Downtown.

**Join a Faction**

There are four factions in Acronia, East, West, North, and South.

You can find their headquarters by turning left or right at the middle of any of the four Acropolis bridges.

Do note however, that you can only access each faction's headquarter from their territory's bridges, for example, if you go to the headquarter at the Eastern bridge, you will end up at the Eastern Faction Headquarter.

One of the advantages of joining a faction is that you can enter their cities without a pass.

* East Faction: Fareast City.
* West Faction: Morg City.
* North Faction: Northern Promenade.
* South Faction: Iron South City.

You can also participate in Knight Training, where you will face off against members of other factions.

**Do Quests**

*Main page: Quest*

The main way to get money is to do quests. You can also get EXP, JobEXP, and fame. You may take on quests by talking to the Cafe Manager NPC at every Acronia Plains.

You can also get quests from the masters, i.e. Scout Master, Farmer Master, Black Church Vates.

You can only get quests from the masters according to your job. For example, Swordsmen can only get quests from the Swordsman Master.

To take on a quest you will need a Quest Point. You get one Quest point per three hours and can stack up to ten quest count.

**Hunt Monsters**

*Main page: Monsters*

Other than quests, you can also obtain EXP and JobEXP by defeating monsters.

When starting out you will not have any skills. Combat will consist of nothing but clicking on a monster and hitting it until it dies.

After you select a job you will have access to new skills and weapons. To use a skill, place the skill into a slot in your action bar. You can then activate that skill by double-clicking on it, or using the keyboard shortcut. An active combat skill will be attached to your mouse cursor. Use the skill on a monster by left-clicking on it with an active skill.

When your HP, MP, or SP is low, you would need to either **sit** by pressing INSERT key or get to a map with no monster. These maps in general will give HP, MP, and SP regeneration. You can also use potions and food items for recovery. Potion and food items give different kind of recovery, so you need to check which recovery those items offer by right-clicking on the item.

If you die while fighting, you will lose a certain percentage of your EXP. You will be prompted with a window asking if you want to return to your last save point. If you accept you will be returned to the place where you last saved. There is no penalty for returning to a save point.

If you have a nearby Vates you can ask that player revive you. This will not save your lost experience, but it will save you the trouble of running back.

**Changing your save point**

If you have found a suitable hunting spot, you may want to set your save point as close to that spot.

To change your save point, talk to a NPC called Warrior of Resurrection. Your save point will then be changed to the in front of the Warrior of Ressurection. These Warriors of Resurrection are scattered all over Acronia.

*Note: Be careful if your save point is in a map that has aggressive monsters (Killer Bee Hill, Cape Northerin, Lake Utena, etc) as there is a chance of them spawning near your save point.*

There are no time restrictions in Emil Chronicle Online. You can play and level up at your own pace. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy your journey in Acronia.
