Your first hour

Follow the steps in order. Each one is short.

Step 1 — Look around

You wake up in the Beginner Zone. It is a small, gentle place made for learning. The only monsters here are Slimes, the weakest in the game.

Other new players here cannot attack you. Nobody in this zone has joined a city yet, and until you join a city the game does not let you hit a player who has done nothing wrong. Only two things can hurt you here: the Slimes, and a spell that leaves fire or poison on the ground. If you see one, just step out of it.

A small window at the top may say Email Verification. Leave it for now, but do it today.

Step 2 — Beat your first Slime

First find one. In daylight a Slime looks like a flat grey-green blob on the ground. It is easy to take for a stone. Put your mouse on it. If the name Slime appears, that is your monster.

1. Press Tab. You are now in combat.
2. Left Click a Slime.
3. Keep clicking until it is gone.

If your hits do nothing, you forgot Tab.

Step 3 — Level up and spend your points

Your very first Slime already gives you a level, and maybe more than one. The first levels come very fast. Every time, your bars fill up.

A Level Up! button appears on the right side of the screen. Click it and spend your points. You get 3 for every level. Not sure? Warriors: Strength. Magicians: Magic.

Step 4 — Keep going

Stay with the Slimes for a while. They are safe and they are quick. Drink with 1 if your red bar gets low. Eat if the game says you are hungry.

Step 5 — Find the two gates

Walk down to the bottom of the Beginner Zone. There are two gates.

• The gate on the west side leads to Aresden Farm.
• The gate on the east side leads to Elvine Farm.

Step 6 — Choose your city

Aresden and Elvine are the two cities of this world. They are at war. The moment you step on a gate, a window called Citizenship asks: Would you like to join Aresden? (or Elvine). It does not wait for a certain level. It can happen at level 1. The window has two buttons, Yes and No.

• No closes the window. Nothing changes, and you can come back to the gate any time.
• Yes makes you a citizen right away and carries you straight to that city's farm. You cannot go back to the Beginner Zone after that.

Read this before you answer:

• Both cities have the same shops and the same helpers. Neither is stronger.
• You choose who your friends are and who your enemies are. Players of the other city can attack you.
• If one city has many more players, the window tells you, and it offers extra experience for a few days if you join the smaller side.
• Playing with a friend? Pick the same city, or you will be enemies.

Joining is free. It is also one of the two keys that open level 20, so you do have to choose before then.

Step 7 — The farm

After Yes you arrive in your city's farm. It is a wide field with stronger monsters. From weakest to strongest: Slime, Giant Ant, Snake, Orc, Giant Scorpion.

The farm also has four buildings. Walk into a door to go inside.

Nobody can attack you inside a building.

If you die now, you come back here in the farm.

Step 8 — Visit your city

One gate in the farm leads to your city. Go and look. The city has the same four buildings, plus the City Hall. Inside is William. He opens the City Hall menu: Teleport List., Mailbox and more.

Step 9 — Level 10

Level 10 comes fast. It may happen while you are still with the Slimes. When it does, a Talents! button appears on the right side of the screen. Click it, or open F5 and press Talents. Choose your first talent.
