Well, here you are, a brand new biome full of quests and things to find. You should spawn in a shrine of life near a town.Shrines of life are angel statues in little white shrines which are both respawn points and quick travel points when unlocked and activated. You know they're activated because they emanate light. if you find one in the wild normally it won't be activated. Press E near one thats not active to play a little flute song that turns it on. This makes it your current spawn point and opens it to be used for travel. Traveling to a shrine simultaneously marks it as your respawn.Well, you probably want to get out there and start murdering. But you should notice something. Hit B by default, your inventory button.In your inventory you'll havefor your current class. Pick the one you think is cooler to you. Each type of weapon has a different use style and rightclick attack. I'll tell about weapons after. But some other stuff to be aware of first...Check the left of your screen in your inventory. At a glance you can tell what kind of enemies you should be engaging based on your. An enemy above your kit level will destroy you quickly, while one thats two levels will probably obliterate you on a touch unless you apply cheese and get a high combo counter to boost your damage by being good at the game.When you mouse over enemies at a range you'll notice their name color. White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold. Fight enemies your level or one higher. But damage is king. If you luck out and get a good weapon based drop, you're well on your way to having an easier time as weapons also provide health to level your status up so you don't get destroyed as quick, so you have more time to use your better equipment to fight the better mobs.You can activate a star ranking system so it's easier to tell what each tier is also in the options menu.Talk to people at the town and hope to get quest dings that will reveal areas of interest in the biome to go questing. Most will have random banter, but a few will tell you of places where someone might be being held by evil mobs, or places they remember seeing special key items you need to help with traversal or loot collecting.Collect all crafting mats and items like mushrooms lemons shrubs, cotton etc that you can. They can be sold so you can instead buy some super basic kit to make you a touch stronger or get items like pet food or potion bottles at the general store.Money can also be used to buy flight points around the biome (or to other biomes if you so wish!) that you can use at the flight master eagle guy usually in the middle of town. Once you buy them you can use them over and over and are a good way to get to different places to hunt for shrines or get closer to your objectives or points of interest.Check your map with M and zoom it in and out with the mouse wheel. On the map you can usually see fairly obvious land marks on it such as craters, dark forests, enchanted forests, graveyards, towns and other things.Revival shrines usually look like little white cubes from afar on the map, while something a different color, like a cluster of brown buildings, a lone grey shrine, golden tower, circular pedestal with pillars, these are all places you should look out for. Fully zooming in will let you see objects with more clarity. So if they stick out or look suspect, give em a closer look.You can mark points of interest with a tap of the middle click. Pan with rightclick, rotate/look around with left. Points of interest you make can be seen on your minimap when you zoom it out so you can figure out a heading of where to go.When starting, usually a good idea to not try to murder something too tough without a shrine nearby that won't bounce you all the way back to your starting point.Time is fairly long in cubeworld and the nights get really damn dark. Perfect for rangers and assassins. But it makes light sources like camp fires or other adventurers or some mobs who bring out lanterns easier to see.Normally you want to adventure during the day, then go back to town and use the inn to bring it back to morning when it starts getting too dark to see. Alternatively if you don't want to do that sleeping in a sleeping bag that usually spawn near and around camps will regenerate your health gradually and speed up time flow.Night time's great for just hanging out and really scrutinizing the map before you change to day. But sometimes, as a stealth character keeping it dark can be beneficial. Just know that the closer to midnight it gets the pitcher dark it gets. Usually about an 1-2 hours on other side is too dark to work with, but 3 is decent for visibility while still letting you stealth up and keep stealth longer in general.Whenever it hits 12 AM the mobs who are not part of quests of dungeons will also respawn allowing you to farm their loots some more. Crafting mats out in the wilderness also seem to get respawned too.Remember where any crafting mats are that you find. You can come back to these places as a way of farming and collecting them for selling or weapon upgrading/crafting.This also includes things like apple trees, which are a wonderful source of free out of combat healing, and other potion mats which can be used to make buff potions to give you a bit more of an edge over foes provided you buy and fill a helping of bottles from the general store.The thing that changes from day to day are other wanderers and explorers. However it can sometimes be hard to tell if they're friend or foe, and the last thing you want is to walk up to some people wanting to talk then instantly get hitscan lasered back to your shrine. So just like mobs, mouse over them first.You'll usually show name rarity colors and stars if you have the setting on which lets you know they're hostile. Otherwise they should have a light blue name above them and wave when you get within chatting distance. Adventurers are another good source of quest and location data.The game can get pretty hard if you're not kitted out for the content, but fear not, you can always try again or come back later, death doesn't have a drawback. Just travel time and a critical hit to the pride or a cargoship full of salt depending on how you went out.The general store usually sells a pet food item a day very cheaply and sooner or later you'll also have them drop as loot also.Having a pet gives a slightly extra source of DPS, potentially a distraction once aggro can be shifted properly and sometimes something cute to follow you around if you get the right food. Eventually a set of Reins key item can be found in each biome that lets you ride your pet to gain increased speed which is WONDERFUL for people who need to keep at a range or need to get some distance to get healed. Don't worry if the pet goes down. It'll respawn after a short time close to you.Your pet will also try to fight whatever you initially try to fight, but if you want it to come to you so you can say, make a quick getaway with the reins hit T to blow your trusty pet whistle and call them back to you. If they're considerably far away they'll be teleported.
