Editing Quick Start Guide

You begin your adventure in a small house in [[Middlefern]], located near the center of the [[map]]. Most new players start by killing a few nearby [[Chicken]]s to collect [[Chicken (Cooked)|raw meat]] for training [[Cooking]] and getting some [[food]]. Be sure to also gather the dropped [[Feathers]]—they're useful later on—and [[Bone]]s, which can be banked to the southwest for future use (or sell to players for some [[Coins]]).

Before doing anything else, enable [[Sprint]] (click the [[File:Sprint.png|16px]] icon to the left of your minimap). This basically doubles your movement speed and has no downside. Note that you'll need to re-enable it each time you log in.

To help you get oriented, check out the full [[Map|game map]] for a broad overview. We also offer several [[Map#Specialized_Maps|specialized maps]] tailored to specific needs—like the [[Ground Spawns]] map, perfect for tracking down free items across the world!

You can chat with all players globally by starting your message with <code style="border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important; padding-bottom: 4px !important;">/g</code>.
* For example: <code style="border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important; padding-bottom: 4px !important;">/g What is a Lucky Log?</code>

If you [[Death|die]], you'll respawn in the [[Anglham Castle]] courtyard, just south of Middlefern. Dying results in the loss of most items you were carrying or wearing.

Most [[items]] are better [[Bank|saved]] than sold to a [[General Store]] or other [[Shops|shops]], as players often pay higher prices; nearly everything has a use or value in the game.

[[File:Wastelands-Skull.png|20px]] The [[Wastelands]] are a PvP-enabled area, similar to the [https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Wilderness Wilderness] in ''Old School RuneScape''. If you die there, other players can loot your items. [[File:Wastelands-Skull.png|20px]]
* [[Blood Teleport]] randomly teleports you, often into the [[Wastelands]], at the cost of 50% of your [[Hitpoints]]; it's frequently suggested as a joke to new players.

⚠ Be aware of [[Scams|common scams]] that players may attempt. Staying informed and cautious is the best way to protect your items and account.

== HighLite ==
If you're interested in using a third-party client, [[HighLite]] is currently available and free to use. It has been approved by [[Dew]] and is fully compliant with the ''[[HighSpell]]'' rules. HighLite is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is also open-source—allowing you to compile and run it yourself if preferred.

== Skills ==
=== {{SkillIcon|Crafting}} [[Crafting]] ===
Buy a [[Chisel]] from any [[General Store]] and use it on [[Logs]] to make blank [[Scroll]]s. [[Ned's Squirrel Ranch]] (west of [[Middlefern]]) has plenty of [[Tree]]s and Log spawns. Alternatively, a [[Knife]] can be used on Logs to craft [[Arrow Shafts]]. [[Unstrung Bow]]s can also be fletched, but offer the least xp per log.

=== {{SkillIcon|Cooking}} [[Cooking]] ===
Use raw meat or fish on a [[stove]] or [[fire]] to cook [[food]], which restores [[Hitpoints]]. A stove west of [[Middlefern]] has nearby meat spawns, making it an ideal starter location. Fires have a higher burn rate, but offer very slightly faster processing.

=== {{SkillIcon|Crime}} [[Crime]] ===
Find a [[Man]] and pickpocket him. The Man just east of [[Anglham Castle]] is close to the death respawn location so dying here is punishment-free. At level 10 you can head to the [[Middlefern]] [[General Store]] basement and lockpick a [[Coin Chest]].

=== {{SkillIcon|Enchanting}} [[Enchanting]] ===
Use blank [[Scroll]]s on elemental obelisks to craft [[Magic|magical]] scrolls that are used for casting spells. A [[Water Obelisk]] can be found at [[Fymel Pond]] (east of [[Ictirine City]]).

=== {{SkillIcon|Fishing}} [[Fishing]] ===
A [[Basic Rod]] spawns near the river south of [[Middlefern]]. There are various ponds and rivers located around Middlefern for fishing. Better rods can be purchased at [[Rod's Rods]] in [[High Cove]]. Each fish requires a different rod type.

=== {{SkillIcon|Forestry}} [[Forestry]] ===
Equip a [[Bronze Hatchet]] and chop trees, banking your [[Logs]]. [[Jack's Axes]] in [[Banton]] sells hatchets up to palladium tier. Logs of all types are a great way to earn [[Coins]], players regularly purchase them.

=== {{SkillIcon|Harvesting}} [[Harvesting]] ===
Start by harvesting [[Flax]] in [[Summerton]] (requires [[Equipment/Gloves|Gloves]]). Higher-level crops like [[Corn]], [[Onion]], [[Strawberry]], and [[Watermelon]] can be found east of [[Hedgecastle]] in the [[Farmland]]s. Gloves with better stats require higher Harvesting levels to wear.

=== {{SkillIcon|Magic}} [[Magic]] ===
Purchase scrolls from [[Peggy's Potions & Magic Shop]] in southeast [[Celadon City]], or create your own with [[Enchanting]]. Scrolls are used to cast [[Spells]], which train your Magic skill.

=== Melee <small>({{SkillIcon|Accuracy}}, {{SkillIcon|Defense}}, {{SkillIcon|Strength}})</small> ===
Use the combat icons below the minimap to select your preferred training style. It's recommended to focus on one or two melee skills at a time—training all three simultaneously will result in slightly less overall [[experience]] gained.

Train on [[Squirrel]]s at [[Ned's Squirrel Ranch]] and sell their [[Squirrel Pelt]]s to [[Ned]]. After a few levels, fight [[Bandit (Melee)|Bandits]] (level 10) in eastern [[Celadon City]] or [[Bandit's Ridge]].

[[Chestplates]] are sold in [[Hedgecastle]], while [[Platelegs]], [[Chainmail Bodies]], and [[Longswords]] are available in [[Celadon City]].

=== {{SkillIcon|Mining}} [[Mining]] ===
[[Banton]] is a good place to begin, the cave there has [[Copper Ore|Copper]] and [[Tin Ore]], with a [[Bank]] nearby. [[Emeril]] inside the [[Dwarf Caverns]] sells various pickaxes. There's also a quiet quarry east of [[Celadon City]] with basic ores and no hostile [[Non-player Character|NPCs]].

=== {{SkillIcon|Potionmaking}} [[Potionmaking]] ===
Use [[Harvesting|harvested]] ingredients at a [[Witch's Cauldron]]. One is located inside [[Peggy's Potions & Magic Shop]] in [[Celadon City]]. [[Sage]]s have a high chance to drop [[Root Loot Table|roots]] needed for potions. [[Carrot]]s, needed for [[Potion Of Accuracy (2)]], can be found between [[Gnome Hill]] and [[Barbarian Base]].

=== {{SkillIcon|Range}} [[Range]] ===
Bows and arrows can be purchased at [[Orlando's Archery Shop]] in [[Celadon City]]. Train on low-level [[Non-player Character|NPCs]] and keep your distance to avoid damage. Most enemies can be safe-spotted.

=== {{SkillIcon|Smithing}} [[Smithing]] ===
A full smelting and smithing station is located in [[Hedgecastle]] near a [[Bank]]. Combine [[Tin Ore]] and [[Copper Ore]] at a [[furnace]] to make [[Bronze Bar]]s. Use a [[Hammer]] at an [[anvil]] to craft gear for yourself. Slightly northwest, you can sell any smithed platebodies at [[Nate's Plates]].

== Quests ==

=== {{ItemIcon|Leprechaun Flute|size=32px|link=Leprechaun Flute (Quest)}} [[Leprechaun Flute (Quest)|Leprechaun Flute]] ===
A curious group of [[Gnome]]s can be found huddled around a mysterious [[Climbable Tree]] between [[Gnome Hill]] and [[Wizard's Lookout]]. Something magical—and maybe a little mischievous—awaits those who speak with them.

=== {{ItemIcon|Red Headband|size=32px|link=Sato's Trials}} [[Sato's Trials]] ===
Head to [[Sato's Dojo]] and speak with the stoic master himself, [[Sato]]. Prepare to face a series of challenges that test not just your strength, but your discipline.

=== {{ItemIcon|Trumpet|size=32px|link=The Lost Trumpet}} [[The Lost Trumpet]] ===
In [[Ictirine City]], [[Ronald]] needs help tracking down something dear to him. This light-hearted quest may take you on an unexpected musical journey.

=== {{ItemIcon|Bottle Of Rum|size=32px|link=Dragonsmoke Island (Quest)}} [[Dragonsmoke Island (Quest)|Dragonsmoke Island]] ===
Speak to [[Blackbeard]] in [[Pirate's Bay]] to begin an adventurous voyage. There's treasure, danger, and a few secrets waiting on the horizon for any brave soul ready to set sail.
