Beginner Tips

  • One of the first things you should do after creating your new character is visit the East Commonlands Tunnel. On this server, the area inside the tunnel is known as The Hub, and contains many new merchants, quests, and helpful NPCs. It's also where people tend to meet up before venturing into the world.
  • You can visit the hub from any home city by talking to the Local Assistant near the town gate.
  • You can choose to get your first few levels in the traditional (classic) newbie area outside your home city.
  • Talk to the lizardman Teleporter Maru for a translocate back to your bind point.
  • Until level 12 you can use +hub command to cast a teleport spell to teleport back to the hub in EC. After level 12 you will need to buy a Hub Puppy v2 sold by McKinley if you want to teleport yourself back to the hub.

Your first equipment

  • You should quickly start your newbie armor and weapon quests since many drops can be gathered immediately. Some are easier than others due to the rarity of some drops but since the race restriction were removed you can do other starting city quests and even get two weapons to dualwield.

Travel

  • Teleporter Maru is a lizard NPC located in the hub. This NPC will translocate you to several destinations, one for each continent and a couple other hard to reach places.
  • Replacing boats there are translocators available at the docks to take you to additional ports on entry.
  • Starting at level 1, all character receive the Origin alternate ability. This allows you to gate to your starting city every 13 minutes. Find this hotkey under your alternate advancement menu under the General tab.
