Quick tips

• Springlands

  Set up your first base

  Leave the Cinder Vault and place your first Flame Altar. Build a shelter, a Workbench, storage and a Rested room, then rescue the Blacksmith. The 1.0 pacing gives you a level-up around the first altar and another around the Blacksmith rescue.

• Springlands

  Craft your traversal tools and weapons

  Make the Grappling Hook, the Glider and a reliable weapon set. Then activate the Springlands Ancient Spire.

• Springlands

  Clear an Elixir Well and spend your points

  Clear your first Elixir Well and spend the skill points, because this gives your build its first direction. Take one good melee weapon and a bow, and put your first points into stamina and health.

• Springlands

  Rescue the remaining crafters

  Rescue the Alchemist, Hunter, Farmer and Carpenter. Some crafter quests, such as the Alchemist's mortar, only appear after you rescue other survivors. This is normal and not a bug.

• Springlands

  Mix classless skill trees with a hybrid loadout

  There are no classes. The skill tree has Warrior, Ranger and Mage areas plus a shared core, and you can mix them. A ranged weapon plus a melee weapon on swap works well in every region, and you can respec as enemies get tougher.

Things you can miss

Optional quests, items or choices you can lose access to by progressing past a point. Guides often call these “missables”.

• Quest rewards lost to a full inventory

  Can be lost after: Springlands

  If your inventory is full when a quest reward arrives, you can lose it for that character. One player lost the Pact of the Flame cosmetics this way, though a forum reply says you can repeat the quest later and the location stays marked on your map. Keep inventory space free before turning in quests.

• Quest progress with old characters in new worlds

  Can be lost after: Springlands

  Quest progress is tied to the world, and you can redo every quest in your own world. Using old characters in different worlds can cause quest bugs (reported on Steam), so play one character per world where you can.
