The Map & Traveling

When you first begin the game, you’ll only have a certain section of the map unlocked. To unlock all Provinces in the game, you’ll have to follow the Quests and Questlines to reach them.

When you move from area to area, you’ll realize that you’ll start at either end of the Level. To spawn in a precise location in each Level you want to go to, you’ll need a Pine Signpost. To craft it, you’ll need the Workbench. You will only need 6 Pine Planks and 4 Nails for The Signpost.

Respawn Location

An important thing to make note is setting your Respawn Point. When you die, this is where you’ll respawn once you activate the Respawn Point.

Some Notes About Traveling

Remember to bring food and water as well proper Armor and a Weapon. You will encounter enemies, and sometimes they may seem tougher than you. Save before and after your encounters.

Protected & Sandbox Levels

Any areas that have a questline and or secrets attached to it, you cannot build or destroy blocks. There’s only a set few blocks that can be removed and they are the blocks in the way of said secrets.

Notes & Pins

Each Level will allow you to write some notes about the Level as well as give you the ability to place a pin down to indicate the purpose of said Level. I highly suggest taking this to your advantage, especially to take notes about certain progress.

Companions

You’ll come across NPC-like characters in Sandbox locations that won’t attack you. These characters are Companions. You can take these Companions back to your home and have them live with you. You can Trade with these Companions, so it’s recommended to have a few of them with different Professions attached to them, just so you have the Market right at your fingertips.

As far as I know, I don’t think there is a limit on how many Companions you can have

The items they have in stock depends on your Profession Level for that retrospective Companion.

Scrolls

Scrolls are items that can give permanent Stat Boosts and Experience.

You can very easily tell the difference between the Scrolls as for what they do simply by their Color. The Red Scrolls will give Stat Boosts of various kinds, while Blue/Light Grey Scrolls will give Profession Experience of various kinds. These Scrolls come in different Tiers, meaning the higher the tier it is, the bigger the Stat increase or Experience boost.

Scrolls of Knowledge

Scrolls of Knowledge give you a Talent Point. To craft them, you have to find Secret Chests and fight Powerful Enemies for Mysterious Essence and Powerful Essence. Don’t rush to get these Scrolls specifically, as the Powerful Enemies will be quite difficult if your character isn’t properly built. I highly recommend storing these items away along with any other special items for when you really need them, you won’t want to lose these items.

Where To Find Them

Now to find these Scrolls, you can find them in secret chests that can be found on certain Levels around the map. When you want to see if the level has secrets. go to the Map and click on any of the Protected squares on the map, and it will tell you the number of how many secrets are in that area. The other way is doing some Mining, and you’ll eventually come across some caves with enemies inside them, along with a chest.

Character Races

When you create your character, you’ll have multiple Races to choose from to play as. Each Race has unique abilities of their own, so you’ll have more replay-ability value.

The Races

• Human
• Wild Elf
• High Elf
• Dark Elf
• Orc
• Dwarf
• Goblin
• Gnome
• Lizardman

For New Players

If you’re a new player, and you’re not sure which race to play as, the Human Race has reasonable stats which should make your first journey a little bit easier.

Maintaining Stats

Your main character stats are:

• Health
• Mana
• Stamina
• Hunger
• Thirst

Each stats have their own way of maintaining them. Some of the easier stats to maintain are Hunger and Thirst.

Thirst simply requires some sort of bottle or container for the water to go into, a Water Fountain, or a Well.

To put water into a container of your choosing, simply be near a Water Fountain or Well and right click on the container you want to put water into.

Maintaining Hunger takes a little bit more resources and time. You’ll have to create a Farm, you’ll need to make a Cooking Pot, you’ll need to make a Milling Table, and finally, you’ll have to create some sort of Storage for your Crops and Herbs.

As for what kind of crops you want to grow, that’s up to you. It depends on what you can find in the world or from certain Merchants. But a decent food source is Wheat Bread which requires 3 Wheat Flour to make in the Cooking Pot.

Talent Trees

When your character levels up, those Talent Points get spent here. There are 7 Talent Trees in total.

• Heavy Weapons
• Light Weapons
• Combat
• Fire
• Frost
• Nature
• Necromancy

The best Talent Tree to focus on when first starting the game is the Combat Tree as this tree benefits all players despite which Class you play as. Along with the Combat Talents, focus on the Talent Tree that suits your play-style to properly progress through areas much easier.

A Quick Note About Backpack Slots

In previous versions, you had to either unlock a Talent or be a certain Character Level to unlock Backpack Slots. Recently, this changed, so that all slots are already unlocked, and all you have to do craft or buy a Backpack. For better capacity, you’ll have to craft a higher leveled Backpack.

Professions

Professions are anything that is crafting related as well as Trading with Merchants.

These Professions relatively easier to level up compared to Early Access, as things have been balanced out and tweaked. To level up these Professions, simply do the action that is related to said Profession, to level up Smelting, simply smelt anything that is smelt-able. To level up the Profession faster, smelt items that you unlock at later levels to gain even more experience. The same can be said for the other Professions except for Trading.

For Trading, simply buy and sell items with any Merchant.

Early Game Farming & Mining

Food is a vital part of staying alive, and on top of that, you’ll have to farm Alchemy ingredients for some of the really powerful Potions to better your chances of survival in the End-Game. However, the best Potions require ingredients from areas that are later on in the game. So since we can’t rush getting these ingredients, we’ll start farming what we can as we get the seeds for it.

Farming Tip

The best suggestion I can give you for this game, is to take advantage of the Sandbox Levels this game gives you. As in, don’t try to do everything you need to do in one map tile. Spread your projects out to better organize things, and take advantage of the Map Pins system to indicate what each land is being used for. Also use the Notes system to keep track of what needs to be done for that area, or to keep track of what’s growing in said area.

Layered Farming

Layered Farming is just creating a farm plot on top of one another. The best way to do this is just dig as deep as you want for as many layers as you want so it doesn’t take up as much space from the surface. The deeper you dig however, the more materials, blocks, and ores you’ll come across, making it an efficient way of getting early game ores while also making a decent amount of space for farming a large amount of crops and Alchemy ingredients. If you reach the bottom of the world and for some reason you can’t get back to the surface, simply go to another Map Level, and come back. You’ll be back at the surface.

Mining

In order to Smelt better ores, you have to level up your Smelting Profession. So don’t rush to get to better areas for said ores, you may not be able to smelt them right away when you come back.

Smelt as much ores as you can, especially ores that are a higher tier, since they’ll give more experience and will level up your Smelting Profession faster. If you found Scrolls that boost your experience in Smelting and Mining, use them!! This will make the process much faster.
