Quick Start Guide
You spawn in a house in Middlefern (middle of the map).
Make sure to click the sprint button (icon of guy running) to the left of the minimap before doing anything else!
Before you get started, have a quick look at the Overworld map to get your bearings!
Skills
Crafting
Buy a Chisel from a General Store and use it on Logs to create blank Scrolls. Ned's Squirrel Ranch (west of Middlefern) has multiple log spawns and plenty of trees. A Knife can also be used on logs to craft Unstrung Bows and Arrow Shafts.
Cooking
Use raw meat / fish on a stove or fire to get edible food that can heal your Hitpoints. Head west from the center of Middlefern for a good stove with multiple raw meat spawns.
Crime
Find yourself a Man and pickpocket him. Make sure to bring some food to heal your Hitpoints when you get caught.
Enchanting
Use blank Scrolls on elemental obelisks to craft specific magic scrolls. A Water Obelisk can be found at Fymel Pond (north-east).
