Beginner's Guide

## Getting Started

Once you have started the game and entered the world, you will be given a random name, and will spawn at the Elder Temple of your faction's home base. One of the first things you should do is bring up the Settings menu by pressing Escape and choosing Settings, and giving your character a new name.

## Useful Shortcuts

* H = Hero menu
* B = Blacksmith
* I = Bag
* G = Guild
* S = Shop
* U = Daily Quests
* E = In-game Events

## Starting Heros

Every player starts with three random heroes from one of the Archetypes - Support, Tank and DPS.

## In-game Resources

* Gold - $$$!
* Food - Used to repair your gear.
* Gems - The In-game currency used to buy hero/hero shard chests and to buy items from the in-game shop.
* Valor - Used to recharge the Ruby Pass and to mint your Ruby Pass.
* Elder Stone - This is used to upgrade the Elder Temple.

## Crafting Materials

* Weapon Ore = Weapon upgrades.
* Armor Scales = Armor upgrades.
* Amulet Stone = Amulet upgrades.
* Helm Plating = Helm upgrades.
* Glove linen = Gloves upgrades.
* Boot Wool = Boot upgrades.

## Souls

* Common Souls drop from normal monsters.
* Elite Souls drop from monsters with a skull icon.
* Boss Souls are obtained from the world boss events

* Common souls drop east of the starting area and are used from lvl 31 to 61.
* Uncommon souls drop near the starting area. They are used to craft gear used by characters below level 31.
* Rare souls drop southeast, and are used from 61 to 91.
* Elite souls drop at the southern area of the map from 91 to 121
* Legendary souls are used after 121.

## Passive Gathering

You can passively gather using your Peon. To do this you will want to look for a mine (for gold) or a bush (for food). This will let you collect 2000 of the resource per hour. Since you will gather plenty of food while killing monsters, it is usually best to gather for gold.

## Getting Experience

There are two kinds of experience -  Hero experience which drops from monsters, andenhanced experience which you can collect from the Elder Temple, completing Quests, or from the in-game Store.
Enhanced experience is used to level your character every tenth level.

## Grouping Up

Groups are currently planned but not in-game. If you kill a monster someone else is hitting, the loot will be shared based on the damage you dealt.

## Guilds

Joining a guild is beneficial in World Earth Eternal, as there are Guild leaderboards such as for World Bosses. If your Guild has killed a World Boss and ranked on the leaderboard, the entire guild will receive rewards.

## Daily Quests

Daily quests reset each day at midnight UTC. Doing these will earn you gold, food, gems and enhanced XP.

## In-game Events

In-game events re-set every two hours, and three events run at the same time. Completing these events is the best way to earn early levels, gems and other rewards.

## Monster Difficulty

There are three tiers of monsters in the game. Normal mobs, Elite mobs, and Bosses. Elite mobs drop elite souls, and also significantly more gold and food than normal mobs.
Bosses do drop Hero Exp, Gold, and Food. They don't drop boss souls, however if you have an event to kill them, this lets you complete the respective event, and earn boss souls when you turn it in.

## Hero Rarity

Heroes in World Earth Eternal start at common rarity. As you increase a hero's rarity, you also increase their maximum level and stats.

Hero Rarity and Maximum Level
 Mythic | 170

## Ascension

See Ascension. To ascend a hero you must consume other heroes. Ascending a hero will upgrade your hero to the next tier.

Ascension Requirements
 **Mythic** | Main hero + 2 Legendary (gold) heroes of same faction.
