New player guide
Astonia: EvolutionYour first ten ranks in Aston: the basics, where to buy gear, and the first quests in the order most players take them.
Before you set out
- New characters start at the Temple of Skua in the south of Aston. If you die, you wake up there again.
- Click the ground to walk and click a monster to fight it. Keep an eye on your hit points and walk away when they run low: they come back over time.
- Fighting and quests earn experience. Spend it in the character panel to raise your attributes, skills and hit points. Rank comes from all the experience you have ever earned.
- When you die you leave a grave with everything you carried. Walk back to it and loot it to get your gear back.
- To leave the game, walk into a tavern, such as the Tavern of the Blue Ogre a short walk from the temple. Leaving anywhere else gets you hit by a demon for most of your hit points, and it takes a tenth of your gold.
- Weapons and armour are sold in the shops around Temple Street. Look at a merchant to see what they sell.
