Beginners guide
Hello and welcome to the Beginner Guide!
This is for newbies and people who would like to know how to get the most out of the Hero Training Grounds.
Creating your character
In the character creation window, you can choose your name, hairstyle, and hair color. You can do your stats in game as you will begin with all stats at 1 and you will have 48 stat points to distribute. You can also reset your stats later in Prontera City. Create a nice name.
Where to now?
Now you have decided on your character name and what class it will be (or even if you haven't) You will be transferred to the starting map.
Talk to the Welcome Lady. She will explain the rules and you have to do a little quiz, to see if you know the server rules. If it's your first character on your account that talks to her you have to complete the quiz. For characters after that you can choose if you want to skip the quiz or not. However for completing the quiz you get a free OPB and the first 3 characters a free Field Manual.
When you complete the quiz on your first character on your account you get welcome gears, which are a real help. You get:
- Little Lamb Hood
- +100 HP, While the wearer is level 30 or below the hat has 50% chance to give zeny when a monster is killed.
- Adventurer Cloth
- +100 HP, While the wearer is level 30 or below it gives +10 ATK and +10 Hit.
- Adventurer Knife
- While the wearer is level 30 or below it gives +10 ATK and +10 Hit.
If you completed the quiz or skip the quiz you have a choice to go to the Training Grounds or to Town.
