Field guide

How the alpha works right now. The game changes quickly; when the game and this guide disagree, the game is right.

Getting started

Your first steps
Make an adventurer, settle into Evertrail Crossing and follow the tutorial through the gather, make, prepare and fight loop.
Tools & Store upgrades
Tool upgrades from the Store: axe and pickaxe heads and handles, and the tools of the other skills.
Bank & equipment
Keep your materials together, prepare a loadout and make space for what comes next.
Progress while you are away
Leave a sensible plan running and return to the progress it could actually make.

Woodcutting
Turn a grove into timber for bows, arrows, equipment and tool upgrades.
Fishing & Cooking
Fish the six stretches of the town’s shore and cook the catch at the hearth.
Farming
Crops, herbs and trees that grow on their own while you train other skills.
Crafting your next upgrade
Smithing, Fletching, Herblore and Artifice turn gathered materials into useful equipment and preparations.

Evertrail Meadow
The first Woodcutting grove: a sunlit trail, ordinary trees and the beginnings of your next upgrade.
Cinderfall Abyss
Burning trees, basalt and lava: the level-10 Infernal Woodcutting grove.

Preparing for combat
Choose a style, equip for the opponent and bring supplies before starting a fight.

Playing together
Other players in every world and in town, chat, profiles, leaderboards and clans.
Clans
Found or join a clan: a shared vault, projects, a hall that grows, a weekly goal and a clan boss.
The Market
Buy and sell with other adventurers from total level 100, at prices players set.

Evertrail Crossing
The starting town: where you rest, fish, cook and use the crafting benches.

Exploration
The scout and the riverboat chart the land and the river while you train other skills.
