New Player Guide
Your first hour, in order.
1. The Training Ground#
The Cadet Outfitter gives each character one free six-piece novice set: Novice and Super Novice only; none of the six pieces can be stored or traded, so you carry them until you change job. Do not throw it away — trade it in at step 6. Played before? Skip the tutorial; graduating pays its own reward either way.
2. Find Star Guide Kipo#
prontera 151,168. Kipo runs The Star Path: a chapter-by-chapter route that unlocks as you go and tells you what to do next. Prontera and its indoor maps hold more than 150 NPCs; at level 1 you can use about six, and Kipo tells you which six.
3. Claim your kits#
Star Path Outfitter — prontera 151,163. One gear kit per chapter you complete; no weapon (the Job Instructors and the Job Master hand you those) and nothing is slotted, so it never competes with a card build.
4. Premium Starter Packages#
Cash Shop items, not handed out by the game. Each box opens at its level — 1, 20, 40, 70, 80 or 90 — once per character, with free bag space. See Starter Leveling Box.
5. Change job#
Finished the Training Ground? Then you already have your first job — the six Job Instructors in the Class Hall sign it at job 10, hand you the class weapon and send you on to Prontera. Skipped the course, or ready for the next one: Job Master — prt_in 38,106, inside Prontera, up and to the left of the fountain.
| Job | Needs |
|---|---|
| First job (Swordman, Mage, Archer, Acolyte, Merchant, Thief) | Job Lv 10 |
| Second job (Knight, Priest, Wizard…) | Job Lv 40 · 1,000,000z at the Job Master, or free through the class's own job-change quest |
A Job Change Discount Ticket (Lv 40 Starter box) cuts the Job Master's fee to 250,000z.
Job level, not base level — a separate bar. The Training Ground's lessons pay enough job EXP to leave at job 10, about when you reach base 10. Spend every skill point first, or the Job Master will not change your job.
You keep the weapon he hands you, and the change opens Chapter 2 of the Star Path straight away. No third classes or rebirth: second job is the top of the ladder, and job level caps at 50.
Reni — prt_in 44,115, next door — teaches your Platinum Skills (extra class skills that cost no skill points) for 500,000z the first time, then free forever, including after a skill reset. Come back for it rather than rush.
Build Manager — prt_in 46,101, same room — resets your stats or your skills free up to base level 40; from 41 each reset costs 40 Silvervine Fruit (both at once: 80), after one free reset per character. Resets are only open Friday 00:00 to Monday 04:00 server time.
6. Cash in the novice set#
Novice Steward — prontera 151,158 — pays 1 Novice Token per piece, at any time — so wait until you have changed job; tokens buy novice potions and wings. Skipped the Training Ground? His Collect missed Training Ground supplies option hands over whatever the course would have paid you — the six-piece novice set, the Novice Potions and Fly Wings, the EXP — only the parts you missed, once per character. Make room in your bag first: with a full inventory nothing is given and the claim keeps.
7. Start earning#

8. Learn three commands#
@mobinfo, @whodrops and @whereis answer nearly every "where do I farm this" question without leaving the game — see Commands & Quality of Life.
Sacred Healer, in every town: Blessing and Increase Agi at level 10 for 500z each, cast together with a 4,000z full heal — 5,000z a visit. See Sacred Healer.
