Create a Character
You're watching VisiHow! In this tutorial, we are going to show the basics of creating a character in the Neverwinter MMO game.
Steps
- 1To get started, we should watch the tutorial on how to download and install the Arc client and set up Neverwinter available at https://visihow.com/Install_Arc_Games_to_Play_Neverwinter_Online.
Advertisement - 2Once we've done that, and we have the game installed on our system, we'll need to launch the game.
Advertisement - 3At that point, we will have to log in. After we log in, we'll be taken to the character creation window. Once we are on this window, we need to locate the "New Character" button.
- 4We click the "New Character" button. Once we've clicked the button, we'll watch the intro video.
- 5We can just press "Esc" to skip past the video. We'll be taken to the window where we have the option of creating our character. Each time we come to this window, one of the races will be randomly selected. Currently, there are "Half-Orc", "Human", "Elf" (which splits into "Wood Elf", "Moon Elf" and "Sun Elf"), "Half-Elf", "Drow" (which splits into "Menzoberranzan Renegade" and "Drow"), "Dwarf", "Halfling", "Tiefling", and "Dragonborn" (which splits into basic "Dragonborn" and "Metallic Ancestry Dragonborn") races.
- 6We can also choose between "Female" and "Male". There is no difference, materially, between a female and male characters in the game. However, there are sometimes significant differences between the races. For example, if we have the Drow race selected, then we'll have their special ability called "Darkfire", which means that there is a 5% chance to apply Darkfire for four seconds. This will reduce the defense of the target. Drows have bonuses to ability scores. These bonuses vary from race to race. Drows also have another ability, "Trance", which means that Drows heal up at the campfires twice as fast.
- 7For example, we can click on "Human". We will see that the human portrait will change, and so will the options below it. Now, we will see that Humans have the ability called "Versatile Defense", meaning that their defense is 3% higher than that of the other races. Humans have their ability scores, and they have another ability called "Heroic Effort", which gives them extra feat points at levels 10, 15, and 20.
- 8Once we've selected the class and gender that we would like to have, we click on the "Continue" button. The button is on the lower right-hand side. One click on "Continue" will take us to the next area.
- 9From this screen, we will choose the class that we would like to be for our character. Currently, there are eight different classes. The ninth class has not yet been added. Each time we select the class, we will see the portrait of the character change with whatever our choice is. We'll see the different bonuses that the class has. For the "Great Weapon Fighter" class, those are "Spring", "Punishing Charge", "Avalanche of Steel", and "Dungeoneering", unique for it. "Dungeoneering" allows us to open and find special types of items that are usually identifiable as usable by the character.
- 10We can select "Hunter Ranger". After we click it, the character portrait will change considerably. Now, we have the options of "Melee Stance", "Hindering Shot", "Hindering Strike", and "Nature" as opposed to "Dungeoneering" from the "Great Weapon Fighter" class.
- 11We can click "Trickster Rogue". Character and abilities change again. This time, it is "Thievery", "Bloodbath", "Bait and Switch", and "Stealth".
- 12When we have selected the character class that we would like to have, we click "Continue" one more time.
- 13From the new screen, we'll be given the option to place our points into abilities as we like.
- 14We can click "Reroll Scores". However, the scores play a very minor role in our character. In the top area under "Ability Scores", next to the three dice, which have "1", "2", and "3" on them, we are told that our primary ability is "Dexterity". The secondary are "Charisma" and "Strength".
- 15We discuss rogues in more detail in our tutorial on creating a rogue on this page. This is just a basic tutorial that gives us the overview.
- 16For the purposes of the video, we'll choose the ability as "+2 Dexterity".
- 17We simply click "Continue".
- 18Once we've clicked "Continue", we can choose a portrait. In this video, we'll choose red hair.
- 19If we want to customize the character, we can click the "Customize" button.
- 20On this page, we have a tutorial on customizing a character as well. It is recommended to watch that VisiHow tutorial in order to see what will be the better option for us, depending on how we like to create or customize a character.
- 21Now, we click on "Continue" once more.
- 22From the new screen, we choose from where our character is. There are a number of different places and histories that we can choose. None of them have any particular bearing on the game.
- 23Additionally, we can choose our in-game deity or affinity with which we choose ourselves to be. For example, "Tempus" is a war god. We can choose it if we like. We can choose any of those that we'd prefer to have.
- 24Once we've chosen that, we simply click on "Continue".
- 25Again, we will have choices that have no changes in the character.
- 26We can type our own biography in "Biography".
- 27We can create a character name for ourselves in "Character Name".
- 28Alternatively, we simply click "Random", which will create a random character name.
- 29We click "Begin Adventure".
- 30When we click "Begin Adventure", we start with our own adventure. It is covered in our tutorial on this page on beginning our first adventure in the Dungeons and Dragons online game, Neverwinter.
This concludes our tutorial on creating a character in the Dungeons and Dragon Neverwinter online game. For additional tips and suggestions, please look through our other articles on this page. Thanks for choosing VisiHow! Have a great day!

Understand the Differences between Races
You're watching VisiHow! In this tutorial, we are going to show how to choose between the different races in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO.
Steps
- 1We are going to start with Drow. The Drow race is a race very suited towards thievery; however, they can play differently as well. As a general rule, if we hover over the "Ability Scores" option, we will see that Drows get +2 to dexterity and then either +2 to charisma or wisdom. This makes Drows well-suited to being thief or rogue-type characters or rangers.
- 2The next class in our list is Dwarf. If we click on the Dwarf character, we will get to see a hairy fat dwarf guy. The Dwarves have the ability called "Stand Your Ground", which increases their resistance to abilities that knock them down or push them back. As we will get hit often by that at higher levels, this is a very good ability to have. Ability Scores lean towards constitution and strength or wisdom. That means that Drows are good fighters and clerics or priests. Drows also have damage resistance to any damage-over-time spells. This can be also quite helpful, especially in player-versus-player combat.
- 3We have Halflings next in our list. Let's click on "Halfling". A Halfling is a short little fellow. Many of us may know Halflings as hobbits from the Lord of the Rings. Halflings are very good thieves. If we look at their Ability Scores, we can see that they have dexterity, charisma, and constitution. Halflings are also good fighters if we are able to deal with having a short character, and that does not bother us. They also can make good spell-casters. They have a good ability called "Nimble Reaction", which gives them a deflection chance. Halflings also have the "Bold" ability, which means that they resist control effects. If we combine those with some other class abilities, then it can be powerful combinations.
- 4Next, we have the Tiefling race. These characters make very good rogues and spell-casters. They also can be fighters. Their Ability Scores are charisma, constitution, and intelligence. Tieflings have an ability called "Bloodhunt", which gives them an extra 5% damage to targets below half health. This can be particularly helpful if we are fighting something, and we are doing a lot of damage. Tieflings also have the ability called "Infernal Wrath", which means that they have a 10% chance to apply damage reduction to their opponents. This is created as an effect that reduces the power of the opponents, but, as a result, this reduces their overall damage to our character.
- 5Next, we have the Dragonborn race. Both Dragonborn races are a purchased option. If we purchase them, we will have the abilities for Dragonborn characters, which means that we will get more healing, +2 to any two statistics, which is significant, and "Dragonborn Fury". "Dragonborn Fury" means a higher critical chance and greater power. These are the characters that can be anything. They are one of the powerful races in the game, which is why we have to purchase them.
- 6Following that, we have Half-Elves, who are a mix of Humans and Elves. Half-Elves are a mix that is good at just about everything. Their Ability Scores lend them to constitution, wisdom, and charisma. They have an ability to get plus one to any non-class ability score. This is a nice minimal extra ability that does not make a huge difference in the game. What is nice about Half-Elves is that they have a knack for success, which means that they get a cumulative 1% increase to some of their abilities, which are later offset by in-game things, such as Power Stones and items, to give us a little higher chance. Again, it is not game-breaking, and it is not super significant.
- 7Then, we have the Wood Elves. Each of the Elves is a bit different. Wood Elves, for example, have dexterity, intelligence, and wisdom as their Ability Scores.
- 8The Moon Elves has the abilities in intelligence, dexterity, and charisma. They also have crowd-control resistance and a higher Action-Point gain.
- 9The Sun Elves has ability scores in intelligence, dexterity, and charisma. Sun Elves have the "Inner Calm" ability, which means that their Action Point gain is higher, and that they have resistance to control.
- 10As we can note, Sun and Moon Elves are basically the same class, while Wood Elves have a higher critical chance, which makes them better rangers. The Wood Elves also have the "Wild Step" ability, which means that everything that slows them is not going to work as well. If we want to choose a ranger, then this is a good race to play.
- 11Finally, we have Humans. Humans are one of the most powerful classes in the game. Partially because their defense is 3% higher than that of the other races. So, if we are playing a front-line fighter, then that's a great thing to have. Second, they have +2 to any ability score, which makes them not quite as powerful as Dragonborns; but still a decent choice. Finally, Humans have "Heroic Effort", which means that they end up getting three more Heroic Feat points than any other class. That is nice. Again, that is not game-breaking; but it can help a bit.
- 12Last but not least, we have massive Half-Orcs. They make fantastic two-handed-weapon fighters, and ironically, they also make very good thieves. They have the "Furious Assault" ability, which means that the critical damage they do is 5% higher. Then, they have Ability Scores in dexterity, constitution, and strength. This is why they make good thieves. The combination of dexterity and strength is actually powerful because it has a cumulative effect, as our critical hits go higher. Finally, Half-Orcs have "Swift Charge", which allows them to run much faster and reach enemies before other people do.
This concludes our tutorial on understanding and determining the differences between the races and their suitability to a particular type of class in Neverwinter online game. Obviously, any of the game character race choices that we would like to make for our style of playing are not going to make the game unplayable. Some of the choices just offer a very small edge that some people prefer to have. Choosing what we want and going with that is recommended. However, if we really want to get the most out of a particular character, then we would want to use some of the tips in this guide and apply them to our game play. Thanks for watching VisiHow! Have a great day! We look forward to seeing you in our next video.

Understand the Basic Differences between Classes
You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, we're going to briefly explain the differences between classes in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game.
Steps
- 1The first class that we are going to start with is "Great Weapon Fighter". We can see the giant sword held by the particular character. This is a class that deals a large amount of damage with a gigantic sword. The class is not particularly capable when it comes to purely defending. They rather excel at offense. If we like to attack heavily and also have a reasonably good defense, then this is a great class choice.
- 2Next on our list is "Hunter Ranger". This class can mix hand-to-hand and ranged combat. This is helpful especially if we prefer two-weapon fighting. We can attack from range, and when the target gets close enough to us, we can finish it off. It's a good well-rounded class with some abilities that allow it to perform more effectively at range than other classes do. However, in mass combat, Hunter Rangers don't fight well sometimes.
- 3Next, we have "Trickster Rogue". This is a thief. Trickster Rogues wield two weapons like Hunter Rangers. They do a massive amount of damage. They are very good at stealth. In fact, one of their best abilities is to disappear and reappear attacking the character that they are fighting. If we like rogues and stealth abilities, then this is the great class to play. We have to be sure that we know the limits and that we have a big beefy friend to help us out.
- 4Next, we have the "Devoted Cleric" class. This is a class that is also quite good at doing damage. Additionally, Devoted Clerics restore health and do a better job at restoring health than all of the other characters. They have some control spells, but as a rule, they tend to simply attack and do damage. It is difficult to play Devoted Clerics sometimes, because when they occasionally heal several other characters at once, a monster might decide that the healing generates enough threat to attack us. We have to manage healing and damage and be careful a bit. It's not that easy to play a Devoted Cleric as other characters, but it is fun.
- 5"Scourge Warlock" is a damage class. Scourge Warlocks do a lot of damage. They are stronger than Devoted Clerics; however, that does not make them a tank. They cast spells and do damage. If we like spell-casting classes, this is the class that we should consider. We have to remember that we will be squishy.
- 6"Guardian Fighter". This is the tank class of the game. Guardian Fighters are very strong and tough. They have a shield. When they block monsters, blocking gives them a benefit. They are very easy to play. However, at higher levels, it can be somewhat hard to do things alone, because this class does not do a lot of damage. So, we would need rogues or other squishy characters with us to help us with the damage aspect.
- 7Next, we have "Control Wizard". Control Wizards specialize in ice attacks a lot, but, as a general rule, they control and damage their targets. They also have a force and one of the most popular Dungeon and Dragons spells called "Magic Missile". They are also a bit squishy, but they are a powerful class that does a lot of damage and is fun to play.
- 8Finally, we have "Oathbound Paladin". Oathbound Paladins are the class that mix healing with protecting people around them. They are fairly good damage class. They are a bit better at solo playing as a melee class than the Guardian Fighter or the Great Weapon Fighter. However, our mileage might vary depending on our experience.
- 9There is the "Coming Soon" class, which we do not have yet.
- 10We have to keep in mind that each of these classes also have the option to have one or more paths. So, in case of the Guardian Fighter class, there is one path where we are very defensive; and there is another path where we are more offensive, preferring to attack more than defend. There are variances with the classes once we get into the game.
This concludes the basic overview of the character class tutorial for the Neverwinter Dungeons and Dragons MMO game. Thanks for choosing VisiHow!

Understand How Ability Scores Work
You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, we are going to go over the Ability Scores available to your character in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game.
Steps
- 1In this case, we are using a Guardian Fighter, which we have chosen from our previous tutorial on classes. However, it does not matter which character we have, as we will be discussing each of the Ability Scores.
- 2To start with, we will see our class under the title "Ability Scores". In this case, it is a Guardian Fighter.
- 3Our primary abilities will be listed in purple, and our secondary abilities will be listed in blue. In the event we have any difficulty with colors (we might have our own color setup), there is text that reads, "...your primary ability Is..." and, "Your secondary abilities are...". In our case, "Constitution" is the primary ability, and "Strength" and "Dexterity" are the secondary abilities.
- 4Each of the six abilities corresponds to a set of character strengths and weaknesses. For example, if we move our mouse over "Strength", we will see that strength measures the physical power of a character. This is the damage that a character can do, but anything else, like the blocking ability, that requires physical power can be improved through strength.
- 5Next, we have "Constitution". The constitution measures our character's health, stamina, and overall vitality or vitality force. The more constitution we have, the more hit points we have, and the healthier our character will be.
- 6The next in our list is "Dexterity", which measures hand coordination, agility, balance, and reflexes. This is actually important. For Guardian Fighters, dexterity will help us with deflection, dodging, or moving a bit out of the way. So, it increases our overall defense ability.
- 7Then, we have "Intelligence". Intelligence describes how well the character learns and reasons. It helps with how fast we get our special powers back as a character when we are playing the game. It is especially important, obviously, to spell-casters, wizards, and even rogues. For fighters, intelligence is not as important; but it is not a statistic that should be overlooked.
- 8Next, we have "Wisdom". This is common sense, perception, self-discipline, and empathy. Self-discipline is relevant to the fighter class, because self-discipline will help fighters with resisting certain spell effects.
- 9Finally, we have "Charisma". This is the force of personality, persuasiveness, and leadership. Leadership means a lot for a Guardian Fighter because leadership has a contributing bonus to the abilities and statistics of any of our pets, hirelings, or followers. Followers are other characters that we do not control fully, but they follow us around. We can occasionally click buttons and make them do things for us.
- 10Next, we will have the Racial Abilities to choose. Humans will be able to choose one. Dragonborns will be able to choose two. Other races will be able to choose one out of their two preset abilities. For Humans, if we choose "+2 Strength" at 14 Strength, Strength becomes 16. If we choose "+2 Constitution" at 15 Constitution, Constitution becomes 17; but Strength goes back to 14. We may want to figure out what the primary ability value is.
- 11Click the button with something other than the primary ability (in this case, we can click "+2 Strength").
- 12Then keep clicking "Reroll Scores" until we have the primary ability with which we are happy. In this video, we have 16 in the primary ability. Our other scores can be low.
- 13We can balance scores out. For example, 15 in primary and secondary abilities, and 10, 11, and 12 in other abilities. These are better scores, but they are not the best. Throughout the course of the game, they do not make that much of a difference. Every two points in an ability score gives us a bump up in our bonus. When we start out, we may want to keep our Ability Scores relatively even.
- 14We can click "Reroll" as many times as we want. In this video, the button is repeatedly clicked without paying much attention to the numbers. As we keep clicking the button, we will get closer to the point where we reach a set of Ability Scores with which we are happy and which we like.
- 15If we want to be a Great Fighter, then there is 18 Constitution. This is a high number.
- 16We would then click on "Continue" to go to the next state where we will adjust our appearance.
This concludes our tutorial on an overview of how Ability Scores and rerolling the scores work in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game. Thanks for choosing VisiHow! We do hope that you have a great day. Leave us your comments, suggestions, or questions in the area below. We will answer them.

Customize Character Appearance
You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to change and customize the appearance of your character or avatar in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game.
Steps
- 1To get started, we are going to need to complete our previous tutorials on race and class selections and Ability Scores on this page. We should then be on "Appearance Presets". Once we are on appearance, we will have to familiarize ourselves with a few buttons.
- 2The first one is on the bottom left, to the left of the feet of the character. It is the "Hide Armor" button.
- 3If we click "Hide Armor", we will see that the character then switches into a pair of primitive boxer shorts and some ragged boots.
- 4Next to that, there are "+" and "-" buttons. Clicking the "-" button will zoom out to the maximum allowable zoom-out of the character.
- 5Clicking the "+" magnifying glass button will zoom in on the character until we reach the face of the character.
- 6We can press the "+" and "-" buttons one time, or we can press and hold them.
- 7Then, we can click one time on the right or to the left arrows to move the character around.
- 8We can click and hold the buttons, at which point the character will continuously spin. We can shift it around until we are happy.
- 9Likewise, we can click and hold the mouse button on the screen and then move it left or right.
- 10If we have a mouse with a wheel, we can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
- 11To the right of the character, there is a list of character portrait presets. We can simply click one of the portraits to choose a character that we would like to have. Slow computers may end up hitting the spot where a character does not have a face for a second, but that goes away rather quickly. Then, we will be able to see our character.
- 12We can click on one of the other faces as well and choose one that looks like Vladimir Putin.
- 13We can choose someone who looks like a ranger elf.
- 14We can have a stylish face.
- 15When we've chosen the one that we like, we can then go underneath the portraits and click the "Customize" button.
- 16Alternatively, we can click "Continue" in the far bottom-right to carry on with the new character.
- 17In this case, we are going to click "Customize" to see the options. Once we've clicked on "Customize", we'll have a full list of things that we can do.
- 18We have "Face 01 - Young", for example. The character will change to that face if we click it.
- 19We can change the face to "Face 01 - Rough".
- 20We can change the face to "Face 01 - Aged".
- 21We can switch to the "Face 02" faces.
- 22We can switch to an older face.
- 23We can switch to an extremely older face.
- 24We can scroll down until we get to the bottom with different faces and different styles.
- 25Should we choose to change the color of the skin, we click on "Color". We can change it from a very dark color to a very light color and to everything in between.
- 26Next, we can click "Hair".
- 27Our hair can be long.
- 28Our hair can be "Short - Mohawk".
- 29We can be bald.
- 30We can have dreads.
- 31We can have tied-up dreads. It is entirely up to us how we choose to look.
- 32Eyes are another thing. We can have eyes with no pupil.
- 33We can click "Tiny Pupil".
- 34We can click "Small Pupil".
- 35We can click "Giant Pupil". It's entirely up to us.
- 36We also can have other pupils where character has problems. It all depends on how we want to play it.
- 37We click "Eyebrows". Those are the same thing. We choose the eyebrows that we would like to have.
- 38We click "Facial Hair". We can see different versions of what we could have. We can have a giant viking-style beard.
- 39We can have some little spike dreads on the sides.
- 40We click "Tattoos" if we want to have tattoos on our character. We can also have them.
- 41We can add scars if we want. There is a right-eye scar.
- 42There is a left-eye scar. Let's go with the left-eye scar.
- 43We click "Face Scaling". It allows us to increase things like the head size. We can have a big head.
- 44We can have a small head. Some of these changes are not drastic. Some of them are drastic.
- 45We can adjust "Neck Length". The head goes up and down. It's up to us where we want it to be.
- 46We click "Body Shape".
- 47We'll zoom out to see the body shape better. It is one of the few games out there where we can choose to be a slim character, a rather large character, or a more toned character, which is the default selection.
- 48We click "Body Scaling". It allows us to do things like increasing or decreasing shoulder size.
- 49Once we've finished customizing our character, we can click "Undo".
- 50Alternatively, we can click "Return to Basic". This will take us back without saving any of our changes. If we do not want to lose the changes that we have made, we should not click on "Return to Basic".
- 51Instead, when we've clicked on "Customize" and chose different customizations for our character, we are going to make sure that we click "Continue".
- 52For example, if we select "Hair".
- 53Let's change hair to "Long - Braids".
- 54Let's change the hair color to blond.
- 55Let's change extra hair color to red. We'll have a mix of blond and red hair with braids.
- 56Let's click "Tattoos".
- 57Let's click "Amaunator - Right".
- 58If we want to undo that last change, we click "Undo". This will undo one last change.
- 59We click "Undo" again. The previous change will be undone.
- 60We click "Redo". The last undone change will be redone.
- 61When we have finished modifying the character and are satisfied with that, we click on "Continue".
- 62This concludes our tutorial on how to customize the appearance of your character in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, let us know in the section below. Thanks for choosing VisiHow! Have a great day!

Get Started
- Alex_Avdeev is in process of publishing this** You're watching VisiHow! In this tutorial, we are going to go over the basic controls that we will find in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game when we first start playing. Once we play for a while, we'll master these controls, and we'll be much better at playing.
- Alex_Avdeev is in process of publishing this** You're watching VisiHow! In this tutorial, we are going to go over the basic controls that we will find in the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter MMO game when we first start playing. Once we play for a while, we'll master these controls, and we'll be much better at playing.
Steps
- 1To start with, we use the mouse to move the camera around. The mouse moves us left and right and up and down. It lets us look where we would like to see different things and understand what's happening.
- 2We use the "W", "A", "D", and "S" keys to move around. "W" runs the character away from us. "A" runs the character towards us. "A" runs the character off to the left of the screen. "D" runs the character off to the right of the screen. We can change these keys as we like.
- 3We can also move the mouse as we run around.
- 4If we want to access any of the buttons at the top, we can either press the shortcut for them. For example, "C". By pressing "C", I will press the shortcut for my character. "C" will take me to the character menu. We will be able to see what our character is wearing. In this video, he is wearing almost nothing.
- 5We can see the history of our character. We click "History".
- 6We can see the powers. We click "Powers".
- 7We can see the feats. We click "Feats".
- 8We can see any boons that we have. We click "Boons".
- 9We can see our companions, which are unlocked at a higher level. We click "Companions".
- 10When we have finished looking at the window, we can simply press "C" again or click the "X" button.
- 11If we want to choose an icon at the top, or maybe we are new and do not know what to do, we press the "Alt" key. The key moves us out of the character window. Our character will still be able to be attacked, hurt, or damaged. However, we'll be able to move our mouse pointer over each of the options at the top to see "Home Page", the Zen store, what kind of "Wondrous Bazaar" items we can get, what sort of "Collections" we have obtained. We can move through each of the options at the top.
- 12For example, we can hover over the professions icon. In this video, there are no professions ready, because practicing professions requires level 10.
- 13When we have finished looking at the icons, we can simply press the "Alt" key to move back to the action.
- 14If we want to see the map, for example, we can press "M". This will bring up the map and show us where we are.
- 15We can move the mouse over our character.
- 16We can move the mouse over our goal.
- 17We can move the mouse over the Private Wilfred person, whom we should see.
- 18We have quest objectives in the upper-right corner of the map. We need to complete the quests marked with the cyan diamond both in the objectives on the map.
- 19There are other quests available. Private Wilfred has one, Lieutenant Linkletter has one, and there is a campfire, which is a point of interest.
- 20We will see on the map that Lieutenant Linkletter is the question mark on the map. The map is not bright in that area because we have not been there.
- 21We can zoom in with the mouse wheel.
- 22We can zoom out with the mouse wheel.
- 23Alternatively, we can click the "Zoom" buttons under the map on the left side.
- 24We can also click "Center the map on your location" to center the map wherever we are so that we do not have to move the map around. In this case, the map is not exactly centered, because there is nothing to the left of it. However, if we were in the center of the map, it would be centered.
- 25If we need to meet friends in another instance, we can click on "Change Instance" in the bottom area. We'll be taken to whichever instance we want.
- 26After clicking "Change Instance" on the map, we can choose which from the available instances we want to have, based on the number of players who are there, including our friends.
- 27Let's click "Cancel", as we are not going to do that.
- 28When we have finished looking at the map, we can close it. We press "M" to close the map.
- 29Now what we need to do is run up to the character and talk to him to get a quest.
- 30To talk to other characters, press "F" to interact. After we have pressed "F", we will see the mouse pointer will allow us to select the lines. We can talk to the character and say to him whatever we like.
- 31Alternatively, we can simply click "Done" if we want to do some more things.
- 32In this example, we click "I... I don't remember".
- 33Then, we click "Thank you. I'll do that." Now, we've been given a quest.
- 34Private Wilfred told us to go and do something. In many games, we won't know where to go or what to do. We can see that there will be an option on the upper right-hand side to click our map and see the way-point marker. We click it.
- 35Now, we need to follow our map and go to the way-point markers.
- 36Let's press "M".
- 37Let's look around for that quest path. We will find it by starting to move in a particular direction.
- 38We've found a treasure chest now. Let's press "F" and see what's in it. Inside of the chest, there was a militia breastplate that was a part of our quest.
- 39Now, we run over to the next quest marker and press "F" as well. We should receive a weapon.
- 40Now, we run over to the next quest marker. The target is also sparkling. We press "F", and we will receive something from the box.
- 41In this example, there are other players running around. Each of these players is doing exactly the same thing as we are doing.
- 42Now, we can check our gear. We either press "I", or we can press "Alt".
- 43If we pressed "Alt", we should move the cursor in the bottom-right corner and click the little backpack. Let's go ahead and click the backpack.
- 44We will see that we have a locked chest, for which we need level 5 to open it, a breastplate, a shield, and a sword.
- 45To equip those items, we simply double-click them. Double-click the breastplate, and the character will equip it.
- 46Double-click the shield, and the character will equip it.
- 47Double-click the sword, and the character will equip it.
- 48Now, we can press the "Alt" button again to close the interaction menu.
- 49Then, we can press "C" to see our character. We will actually see that we have actually equipped the items that were not there previously.
- 50We can zoom in the character. We can have a look how it looks on us.
- 51We can zoom back out.
- 52When we have finished examining the character, we can press "C" again.
- 53Now, if we are not sure where to go next, we press "M". We will see the area on the map where we should go. This blue spot will tell us that we need to go to the particular area.
- 54Let's press "M".
- 55Now, let's run to the next area, which is indicated by a little blue circle on our map.
- 56The green bars above characters indicate new players starting to play the game with their characters.
- 57In order to overtake the mountain, we apparently need to take a rather circuitous path. Now that we have reached the top of the quest area, we will be able to begin completing the quests and journeys.
- 58To the right, we will see a campfire. This is where we can rest and heal ourselves should we have any problems. The hit points will trickle back.
- 59If we press "Alt" and look under our character, we will find different little options. These options are our special abilities. These are potion options. Activating these abilities is something that we need to learn how to do as our character progresses.
