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]]).

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.
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.

<div style="margin-left: 15px;">[[File:Blood_Teleport.png|20px|link=Blood Teleport]] [[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.</div>
