You begin your adventure in a small house in [[Middlefern]], located near the center of the [[Overworld]]. 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 doubles your movement speed and has no downside. Note that you'll need to re-enable it each time you log in.

For orientation, you can view the {{MapLightbox|label=Overworld map|xPos=77|yPos=-94}} to get your bearings.
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!


⚠ Be aware of [[Scams|common scams]] that players may attempt. Staying informed and cautious is the best way to protect your items and account.
You can chat with all players globally on your world by starting your message with <code style="border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important; padding-bottom: 4px !important;">/g</code>. As of the [[Updates/New_Solo_Boss|July 18th, 2025 update]], your account must have at least total level 100 or 30,000 total [[experience]] to use global chat—this restriction was added to reduce spam from new accounts.

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.


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]]
