Where you'll go

You wake in a fishing hamlet with nothing but an axe and a knife. Everything else is a walk away, and the world is one piece: no loading screens between places.

The hamlet's pier, with a rowing boat on the water

The hamlet

Where everyone starts. A fishing village on the Sound with a pier, an inn, a general store and a bonfire on the green. The Elder will find you plenty to do.

Garrow's smithy at Cinderforge

Cinderforge

South through the Old Woods. Garrow's smithy, a charcoal glade and a mine that goes deeper than anyone in the village likes to admit.

The watermill at Northfields above the wheat fields

Northfields

The farm up the lane. Wheat and flax, a watermill, the farmhouse oven, and allotment patches where your own crops grow, even while you're logged out.

Stalls around the Market Cross in Kingsford

Kingsford

The walled city to the east. Its Market Cross is open for trade: produce, bread, fish, meat, ironmongery and leather.

What you can do

Every skill levels from 1 to 99, and what you gather feeds what you make. Masteries under each skill unlock echoes, abilities you can call on in a pinch.

FishingNet shrimp in the surf, feather mackerel off the pier, fly fish trout and salmon in the mill stream.

Mining and SmithingCopper and tin under Cinderforge, then iron, coal, silver and gold further down. Bronze, iron and steel at the forge.

CookingCook what you catch on any fire. Mill flour at Northfields and bake bread and pies in the farmhouse oven.

Woodcutting and FletchingFell trees, oaks and maples, then cut bows and arrows from what you chop.

FarmingHoe, water and plant your own patches. Eleven crops, from potatoes to pumpkins.

CraftingSpin flax into bowstring, and cast silver and gold into rings and amulets.

ThievingPick a pocket or two in the hamlet and Kingsford. Don't get caught.

CombatMelee, Archery and Will, the wisp-magic you share with your Guardian. Something waits under the old workings.

Is it free?

Yes. There's nothing to buy.

I found a bug. What do I do?

Type /bug in the game's chat, or use Settings and Send feedback. Your report reaches us with a screenshot and where you were standing, so you don't have to explain all that.
