## Beginner Guide

* To start off in-game the first thing I would do is vote. This can be achieved by doing ::vote. When you are done voting then in game type ::Claimvote. If all the vote sites are up and working it should give you 22 vote scrolls. Make sure that x2 voting is active before you type ::claimvote though by checking the ::well in-game.

* These can be redeemed by simply clicking on the item or you can sell this item to others.

* Redeeming the vote scrolls gives you the option of 10 minutes of 30% bonus exp. This is a good option if you want to train your skills however, the training process goes pretty fast anyway. We'll go into that later, however.

* Redeeming for 1m and 1 vote point is the other option. This gives you some very early game money and a vote point.

* (2 vote points if the Well of Goodwill is full, type ::well in-game to check)

* The vote store sells some pretty useful things such as a $10 donor scroll (around 4.5-5b ingame) for 300 vote points.

* Or the charming imp that picks up your charms and turns them in for the best exp possible for you.

* However, the best and most popular option with vote scrolls is to sell them to other players. The going rate for one scroll is around 30-35m. Say you sell them for 80m each \* 16 scrolls that start you off on the server with a grand total of 1.5b each 12 hours . This is more than enough to get yourself some basic gear and a normal blowpipe.  You have not even left the spawn at this point.

### Events

* To find the next upcoming events you can do the command ::events in chat. This will show you what event is coming up next. They are definitely worth doing if you are a new player.

### Training

* First thing you want to do once you've sold your votes is train your main combat stats up to 99 or somewhere around there so you can equip armadyl and blowpipe. This can be done at many places depending on the level of your skills. To start with go to rock crabs at ::train. Any supplies such as arrows or food during this process can be bought from the many shops at ::shops.
* When rock crabs are getting a little bit slow I'd recommend upgrading your gear here then progressing to Yaks.

### Gearing Up

* You will want to visit the PoS at ::home. They can be found wearing Black Suits.

* You can buy any gear that you will be able to afford at the time. There is a gear guide that you can use to reference this here: **https://simplicityps.org/community/index.php?/topic/1112-simplicity-gear-guide/**

* If you chose the route of training your skills, what you'll need to do is start off by heading to ::train and to raise a couple of your skills. Once you have your skills high enough you want to make sure to ::Vote/::Claimvote to obtain those 16 vote scrolls and sell them for around 35m cash or so and grab yourself a Toxic Blowpipe. Reason for going the range method is because Range is OP for beginners, and Melee and Magic are going to take awhile to build up. Once the Toxic Blowpipe has been achieved, work your way towards ::Lava which the ultimate moneymaker for new players, it drops 2.5m gp every kill and has a chance to drop even better loot.

### Once you are geared up:

* There are multiple things that you will be able to do once you have geared up. At this point you will want to be equipped with the following as a minimum:

Melee: Equipped with Full Torva and Vorkath Whip

Ranged: Equipped with Pernix and a Magma Blowpipe at a minimum.

Mage: Equipped with Virtus and Trident of the Seas

* Once you've gathered a decent amount of money form ::lava you will want to start thinking about ::raids and gather a group and farm Olm as much as you can! Once you've accumulated enough money it's best to buy the next best weapon above your style of choice if all possible because that's going to make the pvm life a whole lot easier. Once that has been obtained you want to start looking into killing ::hydra which is going to be the ultimate money maker for a non-donator account will will reap you some fantastic rewards!
