Starting Out

  • Learn to bind keys early.
  • Press P (Player Information) → Keys.
  • Select a key on the left.
  • Change the key with Set Key or change the function with options on the right.

  • Some functions (like basic attacking) cannot be rebound.

  • Review all default keys.

  • Try different view modes (top-down or third person).
  • Take note of the Stop Action key, which cancels actions and spells.

Quests & Leveling

  • Press L to open the Quest Log.
  • Quests are available from NPCs in town, though some are hidden (shrines, treasure chests, etc.).

The Great Quest

  • Available near maximum level.
  • Obtained from the King or High Lord.
  • Designed for new players to balance against established players.
  • Rewards are based on item wealth (a hidden value).
  • Items loaned from other players count toward wealth.
  • Sell unneeded quest rewards immediately to reduce impact on wealth.
  • Not available on new servers where player wealth is already balanced.

Player Etiquette

  • Account Security
  • Never give out your account information.
  • Never loan gear or let others "see" items.

  • Do not buy or sell accounts or items for real money.

  • Hacking

  • The developer may investigate clear hacking via IP scans.

  • Ultimately, security is the player’s responsibility.

  • PVP

  • PvP is core to the game.

  • However, excessive targeting of a single player counts as harassment and may lead to temporary bans.

  • Behavior

  • Trash talk is tolerated.
  • Racism, sexual harassment, or using real-life personal information against someone is not tolerated.
  • Harassment may result in disciplinary action.
