Starting out

The first hour in Genesis is straightforward: the starting town hands you a quest chain, the chain walks you around the outskirts, and the outskirts hand back the first levels. You start in Berneo, the one open-world map where the map itself refuses PvP, so nobody interrupts.

The chain that opens the game

What you meet on the way

Monsters around Berneo climb in an even ladder: small spider at 1, owlbear cub at 2 and 3, steppe dog at 3 and 4, greenmouth at 4, furious bear cub at 5 and 6, skeleton soldier from 6 to 8, goblin at 7, sabre-tusked boar at 7. Zombies and skeleton archers come after that.

Keys that save you half an hour

M opens the map, which carries an NPC search and a pathfinder: pick an NPC and your character walks there.
K is the skill window. Drag an icon onto the quick bar or you have nothing to cast with.
J is the fleta attribute panel.
B is the bag, V mounts and dismounts.
[ opens the assistant, ] starts and stops it.

The thirty-row guide

The game ships a guide of its own, thirty missions long, and the first ten are exactly the first hour: pathfinding, using a skill, spending a skill point, running the auto-hunt assistant, sorting the bag, the post box, the bag item, the memory stone, mounting, and the fleta panel. Each pays out once, ever.

A memory stone stands in the middle of every large village. Click it and save a return point; that is the first thing worth doing in a new town.

Accounts are made on the front page and the client sits on the download page. Where skill points go is on the skills page, and picking a branch is on the classes page.

Questions

Which town does the game start in?: Berneo. Domingo's starter chain begins there and PvP is refused on that map.
Where do the first skill points go?: Into activating your class's base skills. Points arrive with levels, and each press of the plus under an icon costs one point.
What should I do first in a new town?: Register at the memory stone in the village centre. After that a return stone brings you back to it.
