Once you've created your character and understood the UI, your first priority is survival and basic training. If you chose a combat-oriented character, find a training dummy in a city and practice your weapon skill. For mages, purchase basic reagents and practice simple spells like 'Heal' or 'Magic Arrow'. Vendors in cities sell basic supplies like food, bandages, and starting weapons. Always carry some gold for these purchases. Avoid venturing too far from safe zones (guarded cities) until you've gained some skills and better equipment. Monsters outside cities can be very dangerous for a new character. Focus on gaining a few skill points in your primary skills before exploring further.
