Your first hour

Make a character

Pick one of four classes: Warrior, Mage, Priest or Ranger. Your account holds up to five characters, so you can try more than one, and later bring them along as one party.

Start on Ruki Island

Every new character begins on Ruki Island, near their class's beginner guide. The island's quests teach you to move, fight, wear equipment and look after a companion. Follow the gold ! tablets over NPCs' heads (what the marks mean): the beginner story pays experience and Gold, and walks you through every window you will need.

Your first fights

Click a creature on the map (tap it on a phone) to start a battle. Fights are turn based: pick a skill on your hotbar and your character uses it when its turn comes. See Turns, the hotbar and auto battle.

Your first companion

Every new character starts with a companion already at its side, in the Attack position. For more, buy a trap at a general store and throw it at a creature in battle: a catch gives you its soul orb, which hatches the companion. A freshly hatched companion arrives happy and full of energy. See Catching a companion and the creature catalogue.

Where next

When Ruki Island is done, cross over to Kharugna (a ferry from Port Zinia brings you back), the first big continent. The world atlas lists every map in order of the creatures' levels, so you always know where to go next.

• Spend the four stat points you get each level: Stat points.
• Daily quests start at level 10: Daily quests.
• From level 10 you can gather materials: How gathering works.
