📜 Guide
- Grab your first quest Your Place in The World from Kaltunk straight ahead (quests are marked with a golden exclamation point '!').
- Your first quest objective is to report to Gornek. He is located inside The Den to the west. The golden question mark '?' above his head indicates a completed quest.
- Hand in your first quest Your Place in The World to Gornek and grab the next quest Cutting Teeth from him, which will have you killing Mottled Boars in the area.
- Simply right click on enemies to auto-attack them or try the default abilities on your action bars with '1', '2', '3', etc. Pick up items or loot from dead enemies by right-clicking on their bodies, which sparkle when they contain items. Expect to pick up money (copper, silver, gold), weapons, armor, consumables, crafting materials, and junk to sell to vendors.
- Now is a good time to check your inventory or bags with 'b'. Check for any food, water, or potions to put on your action bars. Look for equipment such as weapons or armor and right-click them to equip. Press 'c' to view your character and what you have equipped. Hold 'Shift' on an item in your inventory to compare it to what you have equipped to see if it's an upgrade.
- Keep Killing Mottled Boars for Cutting Teeth. See them on the minimap as bag icons with the Questie addon. If you go farther west you will start encountering higher-level Scorpid Workers to kill and an injured Troll named Hana'zua with another quest Sarkoth.
- You should reach Level 2 at this point and head back to town to hand in Cutting Teeth to Gornek.
