Step by Step Guide

**Account:**

After creating your account, you will be brought to the character select page where you can choose your faction and race. There are 2 factions you can pick which are Oathbound and Silver Legion. Selecting a faction means you will be allied with the faction. There are currently 8 races in the game all of which have their own unique racial skill. You should carefully look through the racial skills of each race and pick the one you think will fit you the most. You will be able to change your faction and race for free later upon completing a quest so don’t stress too much about picking the “wrong” faction or race. Depending on your starting race and faction, you will spawn in a different area which will be your hometown.

**Quests:**

The first thing you will want to do will be to click on the scroll icon and that will allow you to see the available quests you can take on. You should go and accept “The Beginning” quest. The quest will ask you to go visit the tavern. In order to visit the tavern, you will need to click on the region tab which will show you all of the available building in the area you are in. The Tavern should be the first building which will be on the left side. After you click on the Tavern and visit it, you should have completed your quest. To turn in a quest, you just need to click on the Scroll Icon again and click on the completed quest. If you have completed all your quest requirements, pressing the turn it button will complete the quest and give you the rewards. Upon completing the quest you will receive exp and Dranemir which is the currency used in the game.

Now you should focus on doing the other quests in order to level up and get stronger. Most quests wil be available at the tavern so be sure to check it often for new quests. Go ahead and accept the other quests.

If you can’t find anymore quests that suitable for your level at your current tavern, be sure to head to the journal tab and go to quests. Once you are there, you should be able to see quests recommended for your level and see where those quests are available.

**Containers:**

However, before you continue on, we should complete the “Dranem Daily Supplies” quest. Completing this quest will give you a container which are lucky boxes that will give you different items. To open the container, you just need to click on it in your inventory and click “Open Container”. This should give you a bunch of stuff which will help you later on. Containers usually give you 5 items but the type of items you get will be based on the type of container you open. Equipment and rare materials will have a lower chance of dropping as compared to other drops.

**Leveling up:**

After completing that quest you should have reached Level 2. Each time you level up, you will receive 5 available stat points. These stat points can be used to level up any of the 5 major stats in the game which are STR, VIT, DEX, INT and CHA.

* CHA is important for traders and crafters who want to be able to get better deals in the trade halls or craft better items.
* STR is important for fighters and berserkers to deal tons of damage and equip heavier
* VIT is important for tanks to be able to tank more damage in a fight and wear heavier equipment
* DEX is important for assassins and archers to evade attacks and land more critical strikes.
* INT is important for mages to deal more magic damage and have a bigger rhun(mana) pool.

You can learn more detailed information about these stats by hovering over them in your profile page. I would recommend that you first invest your stat points into VIT which will give you more Max Hp to survive in the early game. After this you can you can freely choose which stats you want to invest in based on the playstyle you want to go for.

**Exploring:**

Now is a good time to learn how to explore and fight enemies as that is required for you to complete the “Hoplet Culling” and “Herbhunting” quests.

To fight in this game, you first need to click on the explore tab which you show you the available nodes you can explore. For now, you should just see one node, go ahead and click the green explore button. After pressing the button you will begin to explore 1 depth. Exploring a node usually costs 1 AP which you can think of like an energy system. Once you run out of AP, you will not be able to explore.

When you explore there are 2 possible outcomes, you either don’t encounter an enemy or you do. When you don’t encounter an enemy you will progress 1 depth deeper into the node and you may receive items that are dropped by the node. When you encounter an enemy you will enter combat. If you win, you will progress by 1 depth and have a chance to get the drops from that specific enemy. However, if you lose, you will be pushed back 1 depth with only 1 hp remaining. You will learn more about combat later on in the guide.

As you fight while while exploring, you are bound to lose some HP points. To recover Hp points you can either wait for 1 min to heal for your HP regen stat or you can use consumables. Thankfully you start the game of with 50 Health tonics which restore Hp. By having the consumable equipped you will automatically consume them when needed. To get more details about the fight you can click on details and see exactly what happened during the fight which can help you strategize against tough enemies.

Continue exploring until you have killed enough Wooly Hoplets and Herblings to complete the quests. Sometimes it’s ok to not finish a quest as the requirement is hard. For example, wooly hoplets are more common than herblings so you will probably finish the wooly hoplet quest first. In this case you could return back to the tavern and turn in your quest and accept other quests first before continuing with your herbling quest. It is important to note that different enemies will spawn at different depths of the node so it is important to refresh your browser at different depths and check what enemies are spawning at your current depth.

It is important to note that different enemies will spawn at different depths of the node so it is important to refresh your browser at different depths and check what enemies are spawning at your current depth. To retreat to a specific depth you want, go to the node and click on the” retreat to “ bar and select the depth you want to retreat to. If you want to fight the enemy on a certain depth you can constantly retreat to that depth after the enemy no longer spawns.

There is also an option to automatically discard certain types of item you find from exploring and defeating enemies but I highly recommend that you DO NOT use that feature as almost all loot is useful in someway especially in the early game.

**Equipment:**

As you explore, you will get equipment from enemy drops, Boss containers and quests rewards. You should always try to equip the best equipment for each slot and constantly improve your gear to be able to explore more dangerous areas and get better rewards.

The possible equipment slots are the Mount, Pet, Main hand, Off Hand, Helm, Necklace, Bracers, Chest, Gloves, Belts, Pants, Boots, Rings and Trinkets. You should also always try to make sure all of these slots are filled as they will give you a great boost of power compared to having nothing equipped. Mounts are harder to get early game so you don’t need to worry about that and pets can be gotten from special containers from some enemies.

You should have gotten some equipment from quests and even enemies like the Iron Ring Enemies. Remember to put those on in order to increase your PV. PV is a representation of how powerful your character is and every equipment will also have a PV rating which can be useful for quickly determining if a piece of equipment is better or worse. However, it is important to note that PV are just an estimation of power level based on the stats and it is still important to pick the equipment that suits your build.

**Crafting:**

Remember how I said that you should focus on filling up your equipment slots? Well one great way to do it is to craft your own equipment. You can craft equipment at the:

* Enchanter (usually requires magical materials) (sells magical equipment)
* Smithy(usually requires metals/ores) (Sells heavy armor and melee physical weapons) ( You can also craft metal bars here)
* Leatherwork(usually requires leather) (Sells lightweight equipment that provide some equipment)
* Tailor (usually requires cloth) (sells magical equipment) (You can also craft clothes here)

Since you the only material you have are probably leathers, your best bet would be to go to leather works. Go ahead and try too craft new equipment to fill up the rest of your equipment slots. To craft, you just need to put in the minimum amount of materials. Using higher rarity materials will give you chance to get a equipment of a higher rarity. This chance will be shown the bottom after you put in the required materials. After you craft as much items as you can , we can proceed to the next step of upgrading our new equipment. (If you run out of materials to craft you can go back to explore and getting more from enemies)

**Upgrading:**

You can upgrade your gear at the Artificer by spending gold and putting in materials. Different equipments will only be able to take certain types of materials for upgrades. For example, a wooden staff would only be able to take wood as an upgrade material. Upgrading a material to it full potential will essential double it’s stats which makes it very important to upgrade your equipment. However, we need more money which means we need to do more quest and explore more. It is recommended to upgrade your weapons and your best piece of equipment as upgrading in the early game costs a lot of material and money.

**Alchemist and consumables:**

You might have already ran out of healing consumables or rhun consumables if you are playing as a mage. The cheapest way to get consumables is by crafting them at the alchemist. Head over to the alchemist and craft the highest tier consumable you can.

**Note:** *Make sure the consumable does not restore more than your max HP/Rhun can allow or else the consumable will not be automatically consumed while exploring. This is why it is important to invest in VIT for any character and also INT if you are a mage.*

**Tradehall:**

The Tradehall is a place where you can buy and sell items. It is available at very region in the game but they will all sell different item depending on their location. The items in the trade hall will also be refreshed every 4 hours so new items might show up and items will be restocked. One way to make money will be to sell your items on the tradehall. However, in the early game, make sure you only sell items that you don’t need for things like crafting or upggrading. This is because those items will definitely be more valuable used as material rather than just being sold for gold. Different regions will also buy and sell the same material for different prices. In the future it would be a good item to keep track which places will buy your items at a higher price.

**Salvage Yard:**

Another great way to earn money is to salvage useless equipment at the salvage yard. These equipment could be duplicates, weaker version of something you already have or just doesn’t suit your build. By salvaging them you will get a small amount of gold and a chance to get some of the materials used to craft them.

**Arena:**

After exploring for more materials and selling some items you should be able to finally upgrade all your equipment. Now that you're much stronger you should head to the Arena and test out your skills. Each arena fight also costs 10 gold which is another reason why we wanted to earn more money. You will be able to do 10 arena fights every 4 hours.

In the Arena, you will be put into a 1 vs 1 combat against another player. The 2 reasons you would want to fight in the arena are to gain exp and also earn arena tokens. You can exp from fighting against any player but you will earn more exp fighting against a higher level player or a player who is online.

Arena tokens are earned if the PV difference between you and your opponent is less than 10% and you can win the fight. Once you get enough arena tokens, you will be able to exchange them for exclusive arena armor or consumables. There are 3 types of armor sets sold in the arena. One for tanks, one for physical damage, and another for mages. There are 3 tiers of armor, starting at Tier 5, Tier 10, and Tier 14.

By earning these Arena tokens early, you will be able to easily save up enough to get the arena armor sets. This is a good way to make sure you have a strong armor set as soon as you hit the next level threshold.

The best way to get all of the armor set is to first use your token and get 3 or 4 containers of the set you want. The reason is that they cost fewer arena tokens and also have a chance to give you epic or mythical versions of the armor. Hopefully, you do not get a duplicate armor piece so you can spend the rest of your tokens to buy the rest of the set that you are missing.

**Marketplace:**

Another important building you might use will be the marketplace. Here you can request or sell your items to other players in the game. You can either do a local or global listing. Local listings will only allow players who are in the same area as you to see your listings while global listings allow anyone at any marketplace to your listings. However, putting up global listings will cost more as there is a fee you will need to pay. Here you can request materials or even gear to help you on your journey.

**Bosses:**

Continue doing quests and make yourself stronger. Once you are strong enough you should be able to take on node bosses. Node bosses usually spawn on the final depth of every node and will always drop a container if you defeat them. They often contain lots of resources and have a small chance of dropping powerful equipment.

Now that you are stronger you can attempt to go back to the first node you explored and try to defeat the boss.

If you are unable to defeat the boss, go check the details of the fight. If you are close to killing the boss, you can try again a few more times and hope you get lucky. Sometimes you might also meet a lower-level boss which is also easier to defeat.

However, if the fight is not close at all, you should retreat as constantly losing to the boss will drain your consumables. Be sure to continue crafting and filling up your equipment slots.  (But there is a catch, in the the early game it is very easy to level up so the gear you craft now will not be able to last you that long.)

**Comfort:**

Comfort is a stat that reduces the amount of time it takes for you to recharge your AP. Although comfort is useless in Combat, it is an essential stat for everyone as it allows you to explore more gaining experience and resources.

One of the best ways to get comfort early game is to craft Wooly Hoplet Charms from the Tailor, these trinkets grant you lots of comfort which is exactly what we want.

You can try to aim for epic or mythical but just normal is enough for now as you can always get a higher rarity later. Be sure to level them up in the artificer using hoplet cloth/wool or any other fabric. You will want to use materials with the soft property as it will add lots of “soft” to your equipment. By adding enough “soft” you will be able to get additional comfort stats. However is it ok to not do this as the majority of the stats will still come from the base item?

**Equipment Sets:**

Now that you have got your comfort trinkets, let’s learn how to set an equipment set so you do not need to equip your combat trinkets every time you want to explore. Firstly, go to your profile and equip your comfort gear such as your wooly hoplet charms look below at your main stats.  You should see a bar that reads "Pick your set". Click on it select one of the sets and set it. When you create a new set, you will need to name it, I recommend naming it "Comfort". Now press on the button that says "Set" to copy your current equipment loadout to the set you have equipped.

Now to test it, press the button to remove all equipment and try selecting your set and equipping it. If it works, you can also make another set for combat and fighting when you are exploring.

Best gear at Tier 4 (lvl 20 to 24)

The Bronze armor set is one of the best armor sets for lvl 20 regardless of your “class” as it provides a lot of defensive stats which will allow you to survive lots of damage and stand a better chance against bosses.However, you will not be able to unlock all of the bronze armor set as some of the set is locked behind Tier 5.

It is also ok to wear other T4 gear if they provide you with useful stats that allow you to survive more, deal more damage or have other useful stats.

Here are the list of equipment you can get at Tier 4 though:

**(Armor)**

* Bronze Chestplate
* Bronze Plated Leggings
* Bronze plated Boot
* Bronze Ring

**(Weapons)**

* Bronze Greatshield
* Any other T4 weapons

To craft these equipment you will need to get Bronze bars. To get bronze bars you need to craft them at the smithy using 2 Tin Ores and 2 Copper Ores. You can get Tin and Copper Ores from exploring nodes that are mines/caves/tunnels.

There might not be a cave or mine at your hometown so you will need to travel to a place with mines/caves/tunnels .

Some examples of areas you can go to are:

* Dom Sagar
* Ironcrag Coast
* Ironcrag Outpost Eastern Carad Labyrinth
* Ferothan
* Avrael
* Comorus
* Zachido

It is important to note that just like crafting equipment, it is possible to craft epic and mythical crafted materials. By using these high rarity materials to craft your bronze armor, it will also increase the chance of you getting epic or mythical equipment. Getting epic or mythical equipment is good as it has a higher potential than normal equipment. This allows you to upgrade the equipment to a potential of 225 for epic and 250 for mythical instead of 200 for normal.

However, if you are unable to craft epic or mythical, normal is still very good as long as you fully upgrade it. Upgrading your armor can potentially double it’s stats for example, if your armor/weapon is at the potential of 100/200, it will have half the stats of the same armor/weapon at the potential of 200/200.

**Best gear at Tier 5 (lvl 25 to 29)**

**(Armor)**

* Bronze Armet
* Bronze Bracer
* Bronze Protector Belt
* Bronze Gorget

The rest of the Bronze set also provide excellent protection which will allow you to survive better. Another reminded that you can use any other T5 armor as the Bronze set is just a recommendation as a strong defensive set.

**Hidden Stats:**

Hidden stats as the name implies are stats on a equipment that are hidden and locked behind property requirements. Property requirements can be unlocked by upgrading items at the artificer or by using advanced crafting (see below).

When you go to upgrade items in the artificer you should see 15 property bars from hard on the top to aromatic at the bottom. You should also see a question mark box (hidden stat box) on these property bars which represents the hidden stats. To unlock the hidden stats you need to fill up the property bar until it reaches the hidden stat box. When you meet all the requirements needed for one hidden stat, the hiddens stat box will have a tick instead of a question mark.

There are a few ways that hidden stats can present themselves. The simplest form of hidden stat will just require you hit a certain number on just 1 property. For example, get 1000 hard to get the hidden stat.

Another type of hidden stat will require you to hit a certain number on multiple properties. For example, get 1000 hard, 500 brittle and 300 flexibility to get the hidden stat.

The final type of hidden stat is more of a pattern rather than a specific condition. There will be multiple hidden stats usually locked behind the same property but will have increasing requirements for each hidden stat. For example, to unlock the first hidden stats you need 1000 hard, to unlock the second you need 1250 hard and the final one you need 1500 hard.

Even if you do not have crafting knowledge to unlock all the hidden stats, you will always be able to see the first hidden stat. It is also possible to unlock additional hidden stats without being able to see them if you manage to reach the requirement anyways.

**Advanced Crafting Guide:**

Advanced crafting is an another way of crafting items besides simple crafting. It allows you add additional materials when crafting the items, providing the item with extra properties. This allows you to more easily reach hidden stat requirements for items and also imbue your weapons with extra stats from having certain properties.

Advanced craft is available when you craft any item in the game including equipment, materials and consumables. However, there isn’t much benefit to use it on materials so we will be focusing on advance crafting equipment and consumables.

Those are the advantages of using advanced crafting, they are not really needed in the early stages of the game as hidden stat requirements are still reachable in the artificer for most low tier items. The downside to advanced crafting is tha it will take more resources than simple crafting.

To advanced craft, go to the building where the item you want to craft belongs. Once you click on craft for that item you should be to brought to the simple crafting menu. Here you should be able to see a button that reads “advance craft” at the top right of the screen. Click on it and you will be brought to the advanced crafting menu.

When doing any advanced crafting you will always need to put in the core materials needed for the item. The core materials are the materials needed in simple craft to craft the item, so you should put those in first by clicking on the exact materials in the advanced crafting menu.

After you have put in the core materials, you can put in any other materials to give the item the properties you want. Once you have put int he material you want or when you have reached the maximum limit of items you can.

**Enemies:**

When you explore, there is a chance that you will encounter an enemy. When you get into a fight with an enemy they will have a randomized level based on their level ranges. This means that it is possible to encounter the same enemies but with different levels including bosses. Enemies will gain more stats per level from the lowest possible level that they can spawn at. For example, if an enemy gains 100 health per level and they start with 1000 health at lvl 30. Then a lvl 40 enemy will have 100(10)= 1000 more health added to the base value of 1000. This means a lvl 40 enemy will have 2000hp compared to the 1000hp of a llevel 30 enemy. This stat increase per level will apply to different stats depending on the enemy. Enemies of higher lvl will also give more exp as a reward.
