Halfling Guide

Getting Started as a Halfling

Halflings begin their journey in the quiet, cheerful village of Rivervale - nestled at the edge of the Misty Thicket. It's a safe place to get your bearings and prepare for your first adventures.

To leave Rivervale and find things to fight, follow the mapped zone line into Misty Thicket. Before you leave, be sure to touch the void stone near the Misty Thicket zone line (see 'help void stones').

Misty Thicket is your first newbie hunting zone. The recommended route is:

  1. Type 'run' in Rivervale.
  2. Use 'run zone mistythicket'.
  3. Once in Misty Thicket, type 'run' again to learn its landmarks.

You can also walk through Rivervale's gate or use the Void Rift, but learning the run route will prepare you for travel throughout the game.

Early on, look for weak creatures like fire beetles, snakes, and rats. These are perfect for level 1-3 players. Stay close to the zone line so you can run back to safety if needed.

Loot corpses with 'loot' and sell what you find in Rivervale to earn coins for better gear. Don't forget to cast your spells if you're a spellcaster.

As a halfling, you'll eventually want to explore deeper into Misty Thicket, but stay cautious - goblins patrol the further reaches and are much stronger. When you are ready to explore beyond the Misty Thicket, you can venture south from Rivervale into Kithicor forest. There is a void stone just inside Kithicor. From here, you might venture east toward the Commonlands. Use 'run' to navigate large or confusing zones and travel between known landmarks. Run follows mapped paths around blocked terrain, but it can still take you past dangerous enemies. Use invisibility spells if you have them.

To train new skills or buy spells for your classes, use the spell into the void. This will take you to the Void, a special area where all class trainers and spell vendors are available in one place.
