Starting area

Jump to navigationJump to search
The location where a character starts depends upon the race selected during character creation. Characters can move freely throughout the world after a brief instanced tutorial quest and are placed in a different low level area depending on which tutorial quest was completed.
Before level 10, Free accounts have access to a waypoint in every starter area, but cannot access the services in any race's capital city. However, there is an adjacent Services area that has all crafting stations, master craftsmen, access to a merchant, account vault, material storage and wardrobe storage.

- There is a Dodge Instructor in an adjacent area.
- The game is configured to overpower players versus hostile mobs in starting areas compared to higher level areas.[verification requested]
