After character creation, you'll be placed in your nation's starting zone. Follow the initial tutorial quests marked with a yellow exclamation mark (!). These quests are designed to introduce you to core mechanics:
- Basic Combat: You'll be taught how to attack, block, and dodge against training dummies or weak enemies.
- Gathering Resources: Learn to chop wood, mine stone, and gather herbs, which are vital for crafting and economy.
- Crafting: The tutorial will guide you through crafting basic tools or weapons at a crafting station.
- Questing & NPCs: Understand how to accept and complete quests from NPCs, and turn them in for rewards.
- Inventory Management: Learn to equip items, manage your weight, and store items in your personal chest.
Completing these quests provides initial gear, experience, and a basic understanding of the game world. Don't rush; take your time to absorb the information. These early quests are your safest opportunity to learn without significant risk.
