🌱 Beginner Guide - First Steps in the Dungeon

Talk to every NPC in Town, take the first quests, and walk into the Dangerous Dungeon with a shield in your off-hand. The game is turn-based and forgiving — but it rewards preparation over reflexes from minute one. Equip the first ring you find (86.2% of players do — it is that automatic), check the in-game controls screen for the E/Q bindings, and let the first dungeon teach you the step-fight-loot loop before you chase anything optional.

• Wake up in Town. Talk to every NPC — quests come from here, and one clip is literally titled "Town's secret".
• Check the in-game controls screen: WASD steps the grid, E/Q complete the cluster, keyboard-only mode and controller support are both launch options.
• Take the opening quests and equip your first ring the moment one appears ("A Peculiar Little Band").
• Step into the Dangerous Dungeon. Move one tile at a time — every step is a turn, and the fog-of-war minimap is your best friend.
• Fight, loot, and step back through the portal to sell salvage before you push deeper. The first shield upgrade matters more than the first weapon.

Combat runs on three pools: health (HP), stamina (SP) and mana (MP). Melee weapons cost SP per swing; wands cost MP; spells cost MP with riders. The HUD shows all three at all times — the screenshots' 3,166 HP / 194 SP / 194 MP pattern is the LVL 100 ceiling shape. Running dry mid-fight is the #1 new-player death: keep potions in the three quick slots and never enter a boss room with an empty bar.

Three build systems unlock early. Rings: two slots, six parent stats — a non-overlapping pair covers them all (the Sixfold Band achievement). The skill tree is literally a spiral; ten nodes lands the first achievement (Tip of the Spiral). Supers are your four fight-changers (Super! / Fourfold) — save them for boss rooms and pack ambushes. None of these need grinding: they arrive as you play, and the beginner mistake is ignoring the spiral screen for the first ten levels.

The Dangerous Dungeon's five sub-zones end at the Dungeon Master — your first boss-shaped wall (LVL 13, 764 HP). After it, the portal network opens the map: Old Mine crystals unlock fast travel (a 4.5% achievement that saves you hours), and the Rocky Desert, Sandy Beach and Abandoned Forest carry the mid-game. The walkthrough guide maps every area; the builds guide turns your rings and spiral into a plan.
