Finish the Guild training
The opening introduces melee, ranged combat and Will. Practise blocking and aiming before leaving. Later encounters combine these systems rather than requiring a single permanent class.
| System | Purpose | Useful habit |
|---|---|---|
| Guild training | Teaches combat types | Practise defense as well as attacks |
| Quest cards | Select objectives and rewards | Read the task before departing |
| Experience platform | Purchase upgrades | Support the combat style in use |
| Boasts | Optional quest restrictions | Accept manageable conditions |
| Cullis Gates | Travel between available regions | Prepare supplies before leaving |
Spend experience at the Guild
Strength, Skill and Will upgrades use the relevant experience together with general experience. Buy improvements for actions you actually use instead of spreading every early reward thinly.
| Check | Reason | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Health items | Sustain a difficult fight | Carry recovery supplies |
| Mana potions | Support Will use | Budget for important spells |
| Weapon choice | Range and speed differ | Choose for the next encounter |
| Quest condition | Escorts and boasts can fail | Read the active objective |
| Save slot | Major choices affect outcomes | Keep a pre-quest save |
Read the quest card and boasts
Quest cards show the task and rewards. Boasts add optional conditions, such as limits on equipment or behavior. Accept only restrictions you intend to maintain.
Prepare before using a Cullis Gate
Check healing, mana, equipment and the quest's objective before traveling. A difficult escort becomes easier when supplies and shortcuts are arranged beforehand.
