Getting started
The shop you inherit, the loop, and the free and full game.
You inherit a run-down blacksmith's shop in ShopHaven. Patch the holes in its walls with 8 
Pine Logs and it comes back to life. From there the loop is simple: gather, process, craft, sell, and hunt with the gear you made.
The loop
- Gather:
Woodcutting, 
Mining, 
Foraging, 
Skinning. Tap the glowing sweet spots for bonus loot. - Process:
Smelting, 
Tanning, 
Weaving. - Craft:
Smithing, 
Leatherworking, 
Tailoring, and 
Tinkering for the tools that make the rest better. - Sell it in your shop. Customers browse, haggle and buy, even while you're away.
- Hunt:
Melee, 
Archery, 
Sorcery, 
Vitality. Hunting runs alongside your work, so fighting never stops your gathering.
What opens up
- Pets are free from the start: find your first one under the rubble after a fight.
- At level 6 in any skill the guild houses come calling.
- At shop reputation 8 you can hire an Apprentice.
- Every zone builds to its boss. Beat one and its trophy hangs on your shop wall.
Free game and full game
The free game caps every skill at level 10: the whole loop, the shop, the guild, the first hunting ground and two material tiers. One purchase unlocks the full game up to level 99, with the later tiers, hunting grounds and sets. XP keeps building past the cap, so buying jumps you straight to the levels you've earned.
Unlock within 168 hours of starting and a thank-you gift comes with it: 2,500 gold and 2 hours of +10% XP.
There's also a Founder's Pack for anyone who wants to support the game further: looks for your shop and a crown by its name. Nothing that plays better.
