¶ Beginner Guide
¶ Create a Character
When you log in for the first time, the game will guide you through the character creation process. First, you'll need to choose a name for your character. Keep in mind that this will be an important identifier for you and other players, and it cannot be changed later.
In Chronicles of Arcadia, there are three races to choose from: elves, humans, and dwarves. Each race influences your character's combat abilities and appearance. For each race, you can select one of six different classes. These classes are tailored for specific roles in combat, such as heal, tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS (physical), and ranged DPS (magical). You can learn more about each class in the Class Guide.
Next, you'll need to decide whether you want to play as a female or male character. This choice, purely cosmetic, can be changed later with in-game currency, Diamonds. Additionally, you can customize your character's appearance, which can also be altered later on.
¶ Entering the World
Each race begins its journey in a unique starting zone. Elves start on Elven Island, humans in Howling Mountains, and dwarves in Yrvandis Hollows. While the human starting zone is connected to the rest of the world, the other starting zones are not. In a special case for dwarves, you cannot quest in Yrvandis Hollows unless your character is of the dwarf race.
Upon entering the world, you will encounter an NPC. The NPC varies by race, but all quests are designed to help you become familiar with the game.
Note: Johnny Dalker is present for all races, offering the option to instantly level one of your classes to level 91. He also provides starter gear for that class. Use this NPC only if you are already familiar with the game's structures and techniques.
When you reach level 20, you can choose a secondary class. For more information on class combinations, consult the Class Combination Guide. The maximum level attainable is 105.
Once you gain access to the Lost Island of Atlantis, you'll find various NPCs to assist you in enhancing and enjoying your game experience.
