Classes are kinda balanced, so choose the one you like.

🔸️**EXPLORE**

First thing to do in game is Explore/Wastelands. You will start at the first area's first district. Click the Explore button and wait for the fight result.

🔸️**WATER**

Explore is using "Water" (which is the stamina/energy). Water is refreshed fully twice a day, and you have 12 hours to spend it without any loss. A bit later you will build Water Clarifier, which will generate some water every hour. It will always generate it at the full hours, 9:00, 10:00 etc. Your max water capacity is determined by your player level. As you level up, it will slowly increase. Currently there is no other way to increase your max water capacity. Because this game is NOT P2W, there is no way to refill your water with premium currency.

🔸️**SHELTER**

After some exploring, next thing to do is visiting the Shelter. You can build different buildings here. First buildings you will need in order:

- Headquarters lvl 1

- Refinery lvl 1

- Farm lvl 1

- Water Clarifier lvl 1

The lvl 1 of every building needs only cash. Upgrade will need fuel and food too, which are mainly obtained from Refinery and Farm. You will get some more from daily gifts, and later from Raids. The only rule is that none of your buildings can have higher level than your Headquarter's current level. Tip: you can build more buildings in the same time.

🔸️**ATTRIBUTES**

On the Survivor screen you can spend cash to boost your character's stats. At the beginning it's best to focus on Endurance and damage.

Strength: increase physical defense, plus damage boost for Knight and Rebel

Agility: increase dodge rate, plus damage boost for Ranger

Intelligence: increase magic defense, plus damage boost for Mage, if your INT is higher than another player's you can see their detailed stats

Endurance: boost for HP

Luck: increase crit damage and crit chance, chance for double hit and helps to get first hit in fights, plus slightly better item and chest drop rate from Explore

🔸️**ITEMS**

Next place to visit is Items screen. Here you can equip items from your Backpack (inventory). Your Backpack can hold 8 items at start. To increase Backpack size, you need to upgrade Warehouse in your Shelter. You can find your Chests on this screen, what you have found during Explore. To open them you need to complete some Explores after finding the chest. Click the chest to see the number of explores left to open. You can unlock additional chest slots here. Every additional chest slot costs 25 bottle caps each for 7 days or 2000 caps forever (unlocked on player lvl 10). You can unlock 3 additional chest slots maximum. It's a good way to make your progress faster and get more items. When you have enough cash, you can buy items from the Shop tab. It's worth to check the Shop regularly. You can find some good items here.

🔸️**BADGES**

Next is the Survivor screen's Badges tab. For completing different achievements you can get rewards here. You will always see a red notification icon on this tab, when you can claim rewards. This is a great source of extra attributes and bottle caps.

🔸️**VAULTS**

You need to find a key to open Vaults. After that you can go to Explore/Vaults to challenge powerful monsters for high rewards. After every attempt there is a 1 hour cooldown before you can challange again.

🔸️**CARAVAN**

Explore screen's Caravan tab is the next place to visit. Here you can earn cash while you are waiting for your Water to refill. Set a time with the slider between 1 and 10 hours and start the Caravan. If you cancel the Caravan before it's finished you will get 0 cash. It's important to remember that you cannot Explore while you are protecting the Caravan. But you can do everything else in game.

🔸️**PvP**

Wanna fight with other players? Go to Rank/Players check the stats of players around your level to find a good target, then click Attack. You have 10 attacks per day, with a 10 minutes cooldown timer between attempts.

🔸️**WASTELAND RIDES**

At the bottom right corner of Explore screen's Wastelands tab you can see a button. Here you can rent vehicles (for example Ice Cream Truck) or beasts (for example Griffin). It's based on your class and it's only a visual difference, the bonuses are the same. You can choose from 4 options. At the start it may worth to hire the first or the second cheap options for 500 or 3500 cash. Later it's a good idea to rent the 3rd for 25.000 cash and 1 bottle cap. Or if caps are not a problem rent the 4th for 25 caps. The rental is active for 10 days, when it expires you need to rent it again. Bonuses and rental time don't stack, so if you try to rent more you will just loose money. But if you rented the cheapest one at start it may worth to replace it with a better one when you can afford it. Exp and cash bonus from ride is only affects your reward from Explores and Caravan.

🔸️**REWARDS**

Visit Survivor's screen Rewards tab everyday to claim Loyalty Reward and to spin the Fortune Wheel. The Loyalty Reward gives you a predefined gift everyday when you claim it. Whenever you reach the 30th reward it will start again from the 1st on the next day. Rewards are increasing as you progress in the game. You can spin the Fortune Wheel once for free everyday, and two more times using bottle caps. Spin attempts cannot be stacked, so use them everyday.

🔸️**TRIBE**

On the Tribe screen you can see your invitation(s) to existing Tribes, if you have any. Or you can create your own Tribe. In Lost Vault you cannot apply to a Tribe, you can only be invited. To get an invite you can go to Rank screen's Tribes tab, choose a Tribe and send a message to the Chief.

🔸️**TRIBE vs TRIBE**

If you are a Chief or Headman in a Tribe, you can attack other tribes. Just go to Rank/Tribes check the members of other tribes to find a good target, then click Attack. All members of each tribe participate in battle. They will fight eachother automatically from lowest level to highest until last man standing. There is a 8 hours cooldown timer between attacks.
