First steps

The in-game tutorial walks you through these. Each step pays 2 pearls and 5 XP; finishing all pays 20 pearls and 25 XP.

  1. Stretch your legs

    Walk around a little. WASD

  2. The wreck chest

    Follow the arrow to the wreck chest, open it with F and take Silas's letter and the tools.

  3. Your bag

    Open your bag with I. The top row is your hotbar.

  4. Pick up the axe

    Take the axe from the wreck chest if it is still there, then select it in the blinking hotbar slot. 1-8

  5. Chop a tree

    Walk to the marked tree and swing the axe with Space until it falls.

  6. Break a rock

    Select the pickaxe and hit the marked rock with Space.

  7. Crafting

    Open the crafting book with C.

  8. Make a fence

    Find the Fence (2 wood) and press the blinking Craft button. Chop more wood if you need it.

  9. Your journal

    Open the journal with J: quests, the board and friends live there. Your current goal is always on the left.

  10. Go fishing

    Select the fishing rod, stand at the water and cast with Space. Reel in when the fish bites.

  11. Cook your catch

    Go to the campfire, use it with F and grill a fish. Food gives back energy.

  12. Reach level 2

    Chop, mine, fish and follow your objective on the left. Every action gives XP.

  13. Set sail

    Follow the objective to mend the raft, then go to your pier and sail to Market Harbor (F at the boat).

  14. Meet the locals

    Walk up to a townsperson and talk with E.

  15. Sell something

    Open a shop counter with F and sell an item from your bag for Pearl.

  16. The world map

    Open the world map with M. It shows islands and where you can travel.

  17. Reach level 5

    Do quests, daily tasks and the mine. At level 5 you can choose a class. K shows your skills.

  18. Choose a class

    Find Trainer Kaya in Market Harbor (follow the arrow), talk with E and pick your class.

  19. Learn a skill

    In Kaya's window, learn your first class skill.

  20. Use your skill

    Kaya's free weapon just needs to be in your bag: walk near a monster and cast the first skill on your skill bar (Q). That's it, you're ready!
