Basic guide

Welcome to Runes of Magic!

Here's a quick guide to help you get started on your adventure, feel free to use it as a reference if you get stuck along the way.

Select a Game Server
Once you have logged into Runes of Magic, you must select a server. For the best network performance, you should choose a server in your country, or in a nearby country.

 Note: You may create up to 8 character on each server with your account.

 Note: Choose your server carefully; your character cannot be moved afterwards.

There are two types of servers in Runes of Magic: PvE (Player vs. Environment) and PvP (Player vs. Player). Both server types are built with the same game content, but PvP servers also have a special PvP ruleset.

 Note: PvP servers can be especially harsh for new players, and also attract less players than PvE servers, so keep that in mind when making your choice.

Runes of Magic Server List

Set Secondary Password
Your account requires two passwords, the password for your game account and your secondary password.

The secondary password is used for special actions in-game, including buying items from the Item Shop, deleting a character, and others. Make sure your secondary password is something you will remember as you will need to use it frequently. If you fail to enter the correct secondary password 5 times in a row, your account will be locked out for one hour.

'' Note: Never give anyone else your password or your secondary password. Gameforge employees will never ask for your password under any circumstances!''

Select a Gender
Your character's gender is a purely cosmetic choice and does not affect your character's abilities in-game in any way. Please note that Dwarves can only be male at this time.

Select a Race and Class
Choosing your character's race and class is the most important part of the character creation process. These will define your character's combat ability and appearance.

Races
Each race has access to certain classes, including some classes that are unique to that race.

Humans: Knight, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Scout, Warrior

Elves: Druid, Mage, Rogue, Scout, Warden, Warrior

Dwarves: Champion, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior

'' Note: The human starting zone is connected to the rest of the world, but the others are not. Only elves can go to Elven Island, and only dwarves can go to Yrvandis Hollows. All starting zones lead to Varanas City, so you won't be isolated forever. However, it's something to keep in mind if a friend is planning to help you get through the starting area.''

Classes
Each class is suitable for specific roles in combat. Here's a quick breakdown of combat roles and the classes capable of performing each role.

Tank: Knight, Champion, Warden

Healer: Priest, Druid

Melee DPS: Champion, Rogue, Warden, Warrior

Ranged DPS (Physical): Scout

Ranged DPS (Magical): Mage, Warlock, Druid

Customize Appearance
You will have the opportunity to customize your character's appearance to your liking. These settings can be changed later, but only by paying Diamonds, so think carefully about how you want your character to look. Be sure not to overlook any of the options, including skin color and hair color.

 Note: Clicking and dragging on your character at this screen will rotate the view.

Name Your Character
Your character's name is an important identifier and you should not take the decision lightly. Your name cannot be changed later, so keep that in mind as you think about how people will view your character down the road. Also, you should try to think of a name that other players will be able to pronounce, since voice chat is fairly popular for high level players.

RPG Name Generator - follow this link if you're having trouble coming up with a suitable name.

 Note: You cannot use spaces or special characters in your name, only letters and letters with accent marks (i.e. ù, í, ü, etc.) may be used.

 Note: A name may only be used once per server.

Confirm Your Choices
Once you're sure that you have the race, class, appearance, and name that you would like, your character is ready to enter the world of Taborea!

 Note: If you wish to delete your character, it will take 24 hours for full deletion, allowing you a chance to cancel the process if you change your mind.

Welcome to the World of Taborea!
Each race starts in a different zone; the starting zones are meant for becoming familiar with the game mechanics and getting your character to around level 10.

 Note: Instances (dungeons) are specifically noted; these are optional content, designed for appropriately leveled and equipped groups of players, and are generally not recommended for brand new players, unless stated otherwise.

(Instance) Tutorial Zone
This instance is designed for a single player.

Upon creating your new character, you will be prompted to enter a Tutorial. This tutorial is designed to teach you the very basics of gameplay.

You will learn how to move your character and camera, how to accept and complete quests, and how to fight enemies and use your abilities.

Completing the tutorial will give you a minor buff to increase your character's stats by 20% (lasts 2 days or until death, whichever comes first), and a mount that lasts until you get into combat for the first time.

Humans
As a Human, you'll start in the Howling Mountains zone in the Pioneers Colony area.

Howling Mountains
When you load your character for the first time, you'll be standing next to an NPC that will give you your first quest. This will lead to a few other easy quests that will help you familiarize yourself with the type of merchants and NPC's you can expect to see in most towns in the game.

Try to pay attention to how you can interact with these NPC's because it will be valuable knowledge throughout your game experience.

(Instance) Fungus Garden

This instance is designed for a single player.

An easy instance that allows the player to obtain a cosmetic fungus pet. There is nothing else of value in this instance.

(Instance) Barren Caves

The Barren Caves instance is located in the north west portion of Howling Mountains.

(Instance) Windmill Basement

The Windmill Basement instance is located in the town of Logar, within Howling Mountains. This instance is difficult in nature and is not recommended for new players.

(Instance) Cave of the Water Dragon

This instance is located within the Moongorge area of Howling Mountains. While new players can view the portal that allows access to this instance, they cannot enter it until they have completed a quest line that becomes available around level 50, so you won't have to worry about accidentally entering before you're ready.

Elves
As an Elf, you'll start in the Elven Island zone in the Valley of Preparation area.

Elven Island
When you load your character for the first time, you'll be standing next to an NPC that will give you your first quest. This will lead to a few other easy quests that will help you familiarize yourself with the type of merchants and NPC's you can expect to see in most towns in the game.

Try to pay attention to how you can interact with these NPC's because it will be valuable knowledge throughout your game experience.

Dwarves
As a Dwarf, you'll start in the Yrvandis Hollows zone in the New Hangrar Ore Mine area.

Yrvandis Hollows
When you load your character for the first time, you'll be standing next to an NPC that will give you your first quest. This will lead to a few other easy quests that will help you familiarize yourself with the type of merchants and NPC's you can expect to see in most towns in the game.

Try to pay attention to how you can interact with these NPC's because it will be valuable knowledge throughout your game experience.

Choose a Second Class
By the time you reach the end of the starting area, you should be at least level 10. If you haven't already chosen a second class, it's a good time to start thinking about what you might like to pick. You can choose a class combination that rounds out your character's abilities, or you can choose to focus in on one playstyle and choose a class combo that augments that role.

Explore the World!
By this point, you should be familiar with the basics of questing and should see that the quests from one zone will lead you into the next, and so on. This is the expected flow of the game while you level your character. For information on higher-level zones, click the link provided below.
