How to play: beginner tips
- Keep a few spare materials; recipes often unlock faster than you expect.
- Do side quests that unlock systems (crafting, mounts) before grinding levels.
- Idle or AFK features are worth unlocking first — they compound while you play.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
- Craft storage early so you never lose a haul to a bad trip.
