Walkthrough

## Beginning the game

To begin the game you must create a party of four classes. Which class each character happens to be is entirely up to you. Forewarning that it is a good idea to include the following structure for a party
-Tank (Warrior, White Knight, or Dark Knight)
-Damage slot (Brute, RedBlade, Tracker)
-Magic (Wizard, Druid, White Knight, Dark Knight)
-Healer (Cleric, Druid, White Knight)&(Tracker not recommended for this position as a primary healer due to only one mana slot despite being able to heal)
More information about Classes and Stats.

## Beginning of the Story

The party you just created just crashed their boat. Your first character slot tries to fix the boat then is told by another to not bother as the boat is beyond a quick repair. Your party realizes they lost all of their equipment as well. You are now informed of the main quest which was to sail to Reggard to capture the scoundrel Artemis for a bounty before the boat crashed. This means your party is a group of Bounty Hunters! One of your characters describes that this island (Kaladria) is between Merrin (Next Expansion) and Reggard (Possible Future Expansion) After a short wait your party decides to leave the crash site where a campfire was to walk west towards some lights. Upon reaching a bridge you are stopped by Wakemoore Guards who question your motives as to why you are here. Your first character reasons with the guards saying your party is a group of lost travelers who lost their boat. (Intentionally leaving the Bounty Hunter part out).

Your party is informed that there's a goblin problem at Wakemoore and the Elder's daughter has been kidnapped by Gug. Now your first character relays the information that your party is a group of bounty hunters in order to talk with the Elder Kril. Elder Kril then tells you that his craftsmen can repair your boat in exchange for his daughter returning home safely. A clue for the mission is to visit the next town Briarwood. Elder Kril also gives you a chest full of copper.

In the game, there are 4 types of coins, Copper, Silver, Gold and Mythril, the conversion is as follows: 100 of a coin will make 1 of the next type all the way to Mithril Coins. Furthermore, one Mithril Coin equals an estimated 1,000,000 Copper. Finding copper coins at the start of the game is rare! Sell monster drops to obtain coins and as you progresses through higher level areas, there will be a plethora of ways to obtain coins.
