Default Mode (Version 33)

## Part A

[for magic char]

1. Select Dark Elf as your race. (for druid class unlock)
2. Distribute the free points into (you can buy the upgrades from slave trader):
	* Wits 4
	* Max Charm
	* Physics 2
	* Sex, use the remaining point for this factor
3. Select Sex Trait: Irresistible. (easier consent)
4. Select Starting Class: Archer
5. Select Likes: Fish; Hates: Meat or Veggies.
6. Save the template. Then create character.

## Part A (Alternative)

1. Select any race with 100%+health
2. Distribute the free points into (you can buy the upgrades from slave trader):
	* Physics 4 [Note that most tasks use Physics, so helps to have high Physics (yourself &/or first few slaves)]
	* Wits 2
	* Magic 4
	* Sex 1 (Sex factor bonus helps w consent)
	* Charm 4 [helps with loyalty (when date/training) + more $/Guild Rep for Quests]
3. Select Sex Trait: Irresistible. (easier consent)
4. Select Starting Class: Archer
5. Select Likes: Fish; Hates: Meat or Veggies.
6. Save the template. Then create character.

## Part B

1. Restarts if you did not get it:
	* Start and go to the guild notice board. All of the quest must be killing or item (or resource) quests.
	* Look at the slave market and 4 guild hires. Get the slaves with:
		+ at least poor, average, or good growth
		+ either no class or with worker/farmer/hunter class only
		+ Physics factors Average, Good, or Great. (most tasks use Physics--higher factors = Train/learn/work faster)
	* (It's not a must to do at day 1, but do it ASAP) Get 5 slaves as fast as possible. More slaves = more cash. Sell the resources you do not need, buy the ones you need.

**Note:**

* The best servants are servants with no profession, unless it is a profession you want, which for first week is ONLY Hunter and Worker. Just avoid Terrible Physical stat.
* Avoid Terrible Growth stat, if you have no choice, then remember that these slaves will probably max out at 3 classes, 4th class costs 1k exp.

1. Save game
2. Join the fighters guild -> sword and armor received -> sell the sword and armor for extra 148.5g spending. [workers or Mages guilds give more but I did not recommend it]

* Custom slave creation
	+ MAX Physics if you want the starting class to be Worker/Hunter.
	+ Wits 2
	+ Magic 2
	+ Sex Trait doesn't matter but my recommendation is "Life Power". This trait gives HP after sex, play arguably slower, and heal more naturally while doing some menial labor at the mansion. This trait is good if somehow you get no pyramid shrines from goblin den and sex once a day isn't enough to sate your tendency to fight battles you can't win without losing half (or all) of your life.
	+ Likes to eat fish/meat (grains require cooking) & doesn’t matter what dislikes.
	+ Starting class is archer. [Worker/Hunter also very useful]
* Date your custom slave, go to the garden -> praise -> positive stuff. Or you can use this time to train them and yourself!
* Use the Lust Relief on slave to boost or gain XP. **Use Lust Relief for only for XP other options are not worth it.**

* **ASAP Upgrade forge & then all tools to \*STEEL\* blades (handle doesn't matter so keep cheap wood) for 35% bonus.**

## Part C

Note:

* **At the first 6 days, do not smithing, tailoring, upgrading. It's okay to cut wood and fish, and sell them to get gold for more slaves. Wood > Stone, Fish (also seems dependent on Wit) > Meat in terms of gold, ">" = More better. You can then sell them for gold and get Stone, Meat, Bread and Veggies at Shop.**

1. Finish notice board quests.
2. Go to the starting goblin dungeon, bandits dungeon, or quest dungeon. The rank from easy to hard is Goblin < Quest < Bandits. **Note: "<" = Easier**
3. Save when you get there. You can right click enemy portraits to show all their stats. Spiders use normal attack and the rats use the air element skill that came from being an archer. (fire ----scholar--helps also + any heals)
4. Destroy pyramids for stone and obsidian or feed it a stone you bought for mana crystals. ***(Only the pyramid shrine has no curse so break away, the others can curse you…)***
5. You may want to save and reload after every battle result you are happy with and if you get tortured, reload after every battle result, and do it again until you receive the result you are happy with.
6. Use **thief** class as a first class **(not a starting class)** on MC for easier chests.**(This is how you max out the wits by opening locked chests and disarming traps)**
7. Use **scholar** class as a first class **(not a starting class)** on custom slave. (or worker/hunter)
8. Use your save money by selling your loot [silk and stuff from breaking altars or chests loot (which is kinda useless)] and buy a staff.
	* If you did not have staff, your heals will be bad and your MP wont last long. So, it's better to offer stones to the pyramid for mana crystals. (also works if the material sell value to 2/3 or 1/2 like other stuff so its no longer equally profitable to break down the pyramid and giving it offerings become better instead)
9. Learn healing.
10. Now, if you let your healer join the fights, it should be an easy win. Save scum out of the boss so you get good loot from the chest to use/sell. You can get the staff this way too if it didn't show in the shop, but the fight will be really painful.
11. You can spam bandits now. MC 3rd class should be **scholar** (buy the magic factor upgrade from the slave trader for 10 rough wood and 100g) as MP must be low by now so you rotate weapons with each other. Custom slave 3rd class should be **rouge** so you don’t have to reload after getting hit in the bandit den.
12. Remember to only fight bandits 3 at a time until you are sure that you can do it.
13. 4th MC class should be **rouge** / 4th custom slave skill should be **druid** (overpowered bandit fort demolisher is ready for duty). As soon as you get enough stats (bell collar for speed, +10 magic attack circlet and(or) better staff), you can have the main character solo 1 fort while custom character solo's a different fort. Just make sure you save and send both together to other dungeons only after you unlock caster for both or you'll regret it.... Did it on large scale once you got the archmage unlocked which is like Day 14 itself. Day 7 if you are super lucky with reputation. (97x/1000 needed)
14. Unlock the stats you have and upgrade them to average or higher. You can do this by going to the slave market in town and clicking the upgrade button. ‘terrible’ stat only needs 10 rough wood and 100g, while the ‘poor’ stat only needs 10 magic wood and 200g or basically free.
15. Unlock the archmage from the mages guild, The assassin from the fighters guild and the foreman from the worker’s guild. The servants guild classes is not important because if you need obedience controllers, you can use watchdog > trainer + maid / pet > sextoy in your labor camp.
16. If you get good roll on Servants and there are a lot of them with good Phys and Growth stats with zero to max  one class, it would be wise to sacrifice a little productivity and Upgrade Mansion Rooms at day 6,  so you can buy them before day 7, slaves reset every 7 days.
17. Starting on day 6, Night hours save your game. Spam it all the way till morning for the exotic slave trader and reroll it till you get a slave you want. It is the only place you can get slaves with a great or excellent growth factor as otherwise ‘good’ is the best you can find. You can roll till you get 2 slaves with a great growth factor (same as your main and custom characters) because this exotic slaver will only respawn once in 14 days. You have to choose between a good slave to buy or notice board nightmares. Shop resets are every day so being a save reroll at night everyday is like a ritual for some player.
18. Eventually you will need some shackles or other sets of obedience modifiers for a slave (leather collars) and luxury rooms while resting forever in the elven city for permanent access to the second shop. You will need to have the rooms expanded at least 1 so you can have a total of 10 slaves tho...
	* By day 10 you should have 9 servants or even more with great income.
19. Pay attention to the items sold in shop.
	* Take a good look at the items in the costumes tab of a shop.... and the tools tab as well.... It helps... When you don't have enough space for slaves but still want them to produce more stuff for you...
	* You can also use save scum method to reroll shop.

Notes:

* Save Scum Method = Save and reload method
* If you need Wits (Mage char) throw them into cooking, make vegetable soups, you get 3 gold profit per pair of veggies and meat cooked.
* If your slaves get Hunter or Worker for their 1st class, their productivity becomes great.
* Slaves > Peons. They need less consent, less consent needed means more sex, more orgasms means more xp, more xp means they can become useful faster.
