A few tips for new players!

- Find a group or large guild to join, this game can be played solo but it will take you much much less time to understand and enjoy the game if you join a guild.- stay close to water! when you are running around the map keep a body of water close to you, if a pvp guild comes out and tries to kill you having a body of water close by to swim in will save your life, also the swimming can be kinda strange, would be a good idea to figure it out first if you happen to be close to water.- you can press R to drop any item you have on your back, we call this combat stacking, it will save you alot of time when you are moving logs!- When you are downloading the game watch the server type in the bottom right in the launcher, i know when i first started this game it was auto set to EU and i ended up having to redownload, also in the top left when you are ingame it will show your server!- Stock up on Flax!! make sure you have a huge stockpile of flax before winter hits, its the end of winter right now on the NA buyan server where i play but after spring hits make sure to stock up, it will be worth tons during the next winter, all armor and bows take it.- if you are making a guild with a few of your friends, make sure to try to get up some palisade walls asap! when you press F4 you can see your guilds claims, there is a Town claim and a Realm claim, MAKE SURE your inner walls are inside the TOWN claim!, if they are in your realm claim then every JH someone could burn them down and get inside your keep- use ALT left click to combine all items into a stack, use CTRL to quick move something into a chest or bag, press F3 to see the tile height around you.- Build a house! when you find out where you want to live, build a house and claim it, when you die having to do the great 2 hour run agian is a pain.- Gather Plant fiber and make some shoes, right click on the plant fiber and hit create, then make simple cloth, and turn that into a nice new set of shoes, trust me it will remove the barefoot debuff.- Join NA Buyan! because we love you <3 haha- where you live on the map effects crop growth time and winter duration, longer winter to the north but better growing times in summer, less winter to the south but slower growing times.- When creating your character, it will save you alot of time if you pick the race that lets you get the most out of your chosen combat spec, starting out with 55 slinger will save you hours of grinding.- Do not drag weapons and items onto your hotbar, you should start out with actions already mapped to 1-4, they are the select actions for each of your 4 equip slots, if you happen to lose one of those actions you can find them under Militia in the combat section when you press P.- 6 on your hotbar is auto set to have the skill called Flee!, this will make you run much faster but keep you from attacking or doing any action for the duration, i would recommend only using this if an animal or player is attacking you, keeping this skill open to be used will save your life if you run into something like that.Above all enjoy the game! there are many types of groups on each server type for all kinds of players, from RP to PVP, if you need anymore help feel free to come onto my discord and ask in our new player help channel!- A quick Guide to using the Trading post and obtaining copper coins! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUGjIAEoCKY&feature=youtu.be
